More and more holes appeared on the old man's body, and they started to expand and fuse with him. The hole slowly became bigger and bigger, and bit by bit, the old man was completely engulfed.

Li Qingniu suddenly felt that the black chess piece in his hand had disappeared, even the chess board in front of him had become invisible.

The white world gradually became lighter, and the original shape of the world appeared. The starry sky was still the same, Li Qingniu suddenly felt his body becoming lighter, and he once again lost his balance.

He quickly controlled his breathing, readjusted his body and mind, and regained his balance.

Congratulations Master, you have successfully passed through the Play Land, and completed it earlier than I had expected. Mr. Jian's voice finally sounded again.

Li Qingniu smiled and said: "It's all thanks to you reminding me. Otherwise, I might still be immersed in the illusion of Xiao Man Village.

Oh? Master saw the Xiao Man Village? It wasn't strange that this was the place where his master had grown up. Naturally, it was also the place he was the most concerned about.

Li Qingniu nodded, only now did he have the chance to raise all of the questions he had accumulated in his heart, to ask Mr. Jian for confirmation.

The Mr. Jian s answered his questions one by one. Firstly, Xiao Man tried to recall the illusions, and everything was like what Li Qingniu had deduced before. Those illusions were created by reading his memories.

This was because some of these things were buried in the depths of his memories. Sometimes, he would even forget about them, and when they were created into illusions, they would appear extremely familiar to him, adding to his sense of reality.

If he chose to survive in Little Gate Village with everyone else, he would sink into an endless quagmire. When he suddenly woke up one day a long time later, he might have already been gradually sucked away by that place, and even the person in his memories would not be able to defeat him. At that time, the person trapped would never be able to leave that illusion.

After breaking through the first level of illusion, it would be the second level illusion where the old chess player was located. In that level of illusion, the entire chess player was controlled by the old chess player, and it didn't matter how good your chess player was, you would absolutely not be able to win against the old chess player, because even if you won, he would only need to wave his sleeves and the game would turn into a situation that was advantageous for him.

As long as Li Qingniu could not defeat the old man, then the game would continue without end. Furthermore, with every round that Li Qingniu lost, his vitality would be sucked away by the old man by a little bit. By the time the old man had absorbed all of his life force, he would be free and Li Qingniu would be trapped there in his stead.

Release? Li Qingniu was puzzled: "Isn't he supposed to be doing this from the start?"

Mr. Jian shook his head. It was the same as its master, who had come to explore but was unable to come out. Furthermore, the person who was always trapped inside, might have come here with the same goal as its master, but in the end, it was unable to come out like its master.

Li Qingniu sighed, and said: "In other words, he is a pitiful person." Now he finally knew why the old man was so anxious to get him down. Ever since the Heaven Realm and the Mortal World were separated, very few people could reach this place. That person should have already been trapped here for a thousand or ten thousand years.

Yes, the life trapped inside cannot live, cannot die, did not know exhaustion, did not know hunger, just like this illusory existence, waiting, in the long years, boredom and nothing to do is the greatest torment to people. Mr. Jian said emotionally. He had once remained in a land devoid of people for who knows how many years, so he was the one who understood the pain the most.

What happens when he is released?

Perhaps life or death, but he believed that no matter which one, he would not refuse. He even looked forward to it.

You told me not to do anything, you mean not to play chess with him, right?

En, as long as you play chess with him, you will never be able to get out of there. And the time it takes to enchant you is limited, as long as that time passes, the illusion array will naturally break.

So when he saw that Li Qingniu was not moving, the old man would be so angry that he would jump to his feet, and even extend his hand to help him fall.

And when the black chess piece was in Li Qingniu's hands, he was unable to control the black chess piece, and could only control it when Li Qingniu threw the chess piece, or hold onto Li Qingniu's hand to make him fall.

Mr. Jian smiled and said: After passing the Eye Illusion dimension, from today onwards, there will no longer be any illusions which can confuse Master.

Where are we going next? Li Qingniu asked.

There was no hurry. Master should first rest and recover his strength. Passing through the next location would not be as easy as here.

At this time, in another place, within the Heaven Realm Secret Realm, a person in a golden battle robe appeared.

Slowly landing on this lifeless tranquility, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile as he said disdainfully, "The wind is silent, the water is silent, and Ye Wen is silent. Hmph, how much do you like silence? It seems like the war gods of yesteryear have already fallen."

As his voice fell, he raised his hand and punched the air. Instantly, the air split apart as thunder and lightning flashed. The clouds changed, and heavy rain poured down.

The originally quiet and quiet space was broken by his great strength. His voice spread out in all directions, shocking everyone within a hundred li.

On a lake, the water was rippling. The sound of a zither could be heard from one of the boats. Suddenly, the sound of the zither was disturbed by a mysterious flow of Xuan Energy.

Zi Che who was playing her zither stopped his hands and looked towards the sky which had changed dramatically. He let out a faint sigh, placed her zither to the side, stood up and walked out of the boat.

Sure enough, it's you. Why do you always have to be so forceful every time? Ao Shuang. Zi Che asked.

The person clad in golden armor in front of him was the current First Warlord — — Ao Shuang.

Before Ao Shuang, Zi Che was once the First Warlord. Then, for some reason, when Zi Che's strength was inexplicably affected and stopped moving, Ao Shuang gradually surpassed Zi Che and became the First Warlord.

Originally, when Zi Che was still a First Warlord, he was extremely respectful in front of him. However, after his identity as a First Warlord had fallen, Ao Shuang's attitude had completely reversed, not only did he look down on, but he also provoked him from time to time. Most of the time, Zi Che chose to avoid it, but if a person wanted to find trouble with you, no matter how you avoided it, Ao Shuang would have a way to make you feel uncomfortable.

Because of this, Zi Che specially asked the Protectors to transfer him out of the Heaven Realm, and coincidentally, the Heaven Realm had set up a supervisor, so he was sent to this place.

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these ten thousand years, Ao Shuang had also visited him a few times on official business. The divine cavities in heaven could connect one's consciousness to each other's Zodiac Realm, which could be explained as knocking on the door. As long as the owner agreed, they could directly enter each other's Zodiac Realm.

Every time Ao Shuang came to find him, he would not be able to win over him. He was always relying on brute force to enter the mirror, which made him very unhappy, but he knew in his heart that the other party was intentionally provoking him, so he endured it and did not argue with him.

But this time, Ao Shuang was even more overbearing. Not only was he overbearing, he even intentionally used his own strength to disrupt Yun Che's Zodiac Realm, in order to force him to come and find him. Thus, Zi Che's tone of voice was not as humble as it used to be.

Ao Shuang laughed coldly: "Gentle is never my style, you should be clear about this point. I think this place is too deserted, shouldn't I help you increase the atmosphere a little?"

Zi Che knew that he had purposely provoked them, so he shook his head and asked. Just say why you're here.

The two of you asked me to ask you how things are going. If you don't have the ability to complete this task, then just say it. I will plead with the two dignitaries to help you take over this matter so that you won't have to put in so much effort.

There's no need, you just have to reply to them. Things have already begun, Zi Che will definitely not let them down. Zi Che waved his hand and said.

Ao Shuang sneered: Hmph, don't try to be brave, after all, you are no longer a war god of Heaven Realm, even if you do not have the ability to complete this mission, I believe that the Two Sovereigns and the others will definitely not make things difficult for you. I am doing this for your own good.

Thank you for your concern. Zi Che was confident that he still had the ability, so he didn't need to worry about this matter. Zi Che interrupted Ao Shuang and said.

Hah, well, I'll be kind enough to be treated like a mule. Ao Shuang said with a look of displeasure.

If there's nothing else, I won't be seeing you out, please. Zi Che raised his hands to send them off.

Ao Shuang snorted coldly, and turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and turned back to say: There is one more thing, I heard that Day Chi sensed that the Primordial Divine Body had descended into the dust again. The Sky Sovereign told me to ask you, did you find out that a person with an Primordial Body appeared?

Zi Che frowned and asked: When did this happen?

Not long ago.

Zi Che turned around with his hands behind his back, and said with his back facing Ao Shuang: "First, I have been focusing on completing missions during this period of time; I do not have time to care about things that I do not know about. Secondly, if I meet this person, I definitely won't let him live. If it was you, I believe it would be the same.

Oh? But now that you know about it, don't forget about it. If you dare to neglect your duty, then don't blame me for not reminding you. Speak, Ao Shuang snorted, and once again flew up into the sky.

After Ao Shuang left, Zi Che slowly turned around, looked at the hole he had made in the sky, and shook his head: "Ao Shuang, you will definitely suffer a loss due to your arrogance one day. I didn't think that Day Chi would already feel it, and it seems that he won't be able to hide it for long.

After he sighed a few times, Zi Che slowly raised his arm and waved his sleeve towards the sky. Immediately, the clouds scattered and rain began to retract, the lightning disappeared, and the tear in the sky also began to mend once again.

The wind was silent, people were silent …
