Chapter 1781: Chapter 1335: Move of the Chess Pieces
Above the High Sky.
"What...what should we do!"
"The Divine Tree Power is so formidable, let alone if we can injure him, even if we could, the Divine Tree would heal him."
"Damn it! I wonder if the Tai Chi Diagram of the Taishang Sect can target this Divine Tree."
Everyone in the Blue Sea was solemn, facing Gui who had fused with the Heart of the Divine Tree, a slight despair inevitably rose in their hearts.
If truly Su Yuan, Ling Xiao and others cannot kill Gui who has entered the Emperor Level, then the rest are also doomed this time!
Zhan Tianyi was also sweating profusely from constant calculations, yet still didn’t know what to do.
And just at this moment, Zhan Tianyi seemed to sense something, and with a flip of his hand, took out a black chess piece.
Instantly, a stronger sense appeared, and following this sensation, Zhan Tianyi looked down to see Su Yuan...
Accurately speaking, he saw the Star Core in Su Yuan’s hand.
As if blessed with clarity, Zhan Tianyi caressed the cool and hard black chess piece in his hand, seemingly understanding something.
"Is this...Dragon Scale?" Zhan Tianyi’s eyes showed surprise, "Then the thing inside..."
Heavenly Mechanism revealed, upon determining what was in his hand, Zhan Tianyi nearly comprehended the entire situation in a single moment.
"So that’s it, the Upper Emperor truly played deep! And the Royal Envoy Su is truly remarkable, discovering this hidden chess piece even before me."
"No wonder...no wonder the Upper Emperor once asked me to invite the Royal Envoy Su to the Yixian Dao, and yet did not insist, did he foresee the Royal Envoy Su could discover and cooperate with this?"
Zhan Tianyi couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, then his eyes brightened and he immediately placed the black chess piece down.
"With this hidden piece, maybe this desperate chess game can truly be revitalized!"
The chess piece fell into the Void, and in a flash of starlight, the black chess piece descended into Su Yuan’s left hand.
Su Yuan’s left hand held the black piece, and his right hand held the Star Core, the two seemed to collide and merge as if drawn together.
Instantly, Spirit Light erupted from the black piece like a watery wrap around the Star Core, seemingly transforming something inside, faintly visible were hard scales, sharp claws, and dragon horns...
Within mere breaths, accompanied by an extremely powerful aura, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man emerged from the Spirit Light.
His figure was towering, his face handsome, with some mature stubble adding a touch of charm, his mouth curled in a smile, and he carefully wiped a simple bamboo conical hat before putting it away.
"Ha, the original body still feels more comfortable~" The middle-aged man stretched his arms and fingers, smiling at Su Yuan, "Su Yuan, thank you."
Above and below, everyone clearly saw the face of this person—
"Long God General?!"
Although his appearance had slightly changed, this face, this aura, and the Star Power Fluctuation were absolutely the previously deceased Long among the Eight Gray Realm Divine Generals!
"It’s Long?!"
"Royal Envoy Su? What...what’s going on?"
"Wasn’t Long supposed to have fallen at the hands of Su Yuan Royal Envoy!"
The people of Blue Sea were greatly shocked, having just witnessed Ling Xiao and Reinhardt being overwhelmed by Gui, now the allegedly dead Long was suddenly brought forth by Su Yuan.
Only Su Yuan, if it were someone else, the crowd might not have resisted questioning aloud.
"Everyone, don’t be alarmed, it’s one of us!" Zhan Tianyi quickly transmitted his hypothesis through the Yixing Plate.
And not just the Blue Sea people were surprised, the most shocked...was naturally Gui among the Eight Divine Generals!
"Long?!"
In mid-air, Gui widened his eyes in surprise, then his gaze turned cold as he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So, you were a ’mole’, weren’t you? It’s truly unexpected!"
Although Long was not the oldest Divine General, he ranked in the middle among the Eight Divine Generals.
Having entered the Grey Realm for thousands of years, rising through the Strong Assault Imperial Court, he grew strong, becoming a dominator.
Due to his outstanding performance, he was summoned as a Divine General.
Gui remembered that initially, Long was unwilling to become a Divine General, but only when the Upper Emperor personally intervened did Long submit and assume the title.
And upon appointment, the Imperial Court conducted a "pre-life review", clearly he was merely a highly talented True Dragon stuck at the King Level due to energy level restrictions in a medium-sized world.
Yet it now appears he’s actually aligned with humans from the Blue Sea Great World?
In fact, the Chess Emperor had long altered memories, concealed heavenly mechanisms, preparing everything in advance.
Before Long became a Divine General, he truly had no memories of the Blue Sea World.
Only when the Grey Realm descended upon the Blue Sea Realm did the Chess Emperor’s layout and the Blue Sea World’s will awaken Long’s true memories.
As for how Su Yuan discovered Long’s hidden identity...
At the start of this battle, Su Yuan noticed something during his initial exploration of the Chaotic Star Domain, when he first clashed with Long!
When Su Yuan first encountered Long, they engaged in fierce combat, seemingly intense, but Long never used any killing moves.
Yet just as Gui and Shijian were about to arrive, Long suddenly exerted force, unleashing Nine Extremes Unification forcing Su Yuan to use Divine Absolute, the collision of powers shattered the Void, compelling the cautious Su Yuan back.
Though Su Yuan hadn’t seen Gui and Shijian at the time, he knew from Ashley that other Divine Generals were arriving, thereby leading to his speculation.
And what finally convinced Su Yuan...was the deliberate soul fluctuation Long unleashed, making him feel extremely familiar...because it was very similar to Bing Tong with whom he had a Soul Contract!
So, Su Yuan used the Heavenly Lock to fix the space, obstructing detection, according to Long’s whispered transmissions, "killing" him and leaving the Star Core.
And the black chess piece in Zhan Tianyi’s hand was precisely Long’s inverse scale, inside contained Long’s previous life’s physical form!
