Although the Divine Realm is a chessboard with its own rules, some minor rules cannot fully restrain an opponent.
For example, a horse moves in an L-shape and can capture pieces.
In the Holy Realm, a horse moves in an L-shape and can capture pieces, but pieces can also capture the horse. When the two sides meet, it all depends on who is stronger.
For a time, the Holy Realm was filled with the sounds of battle.
Brother Thunderbolt fired beams of ice light at his enemies. When they struck the chessboard, they split into four straight lines.
These four lines enclosed Wu Zhen on his piece position, forming a square.
Then, more and more rays of light, like laser beams, moved back and forth along the four sides, weaving busily.
Before long, a cube-shaped cage made of these beams completely covered Wu Zhen.
When Wu Zhen moved, the walls moved with him.
Wu Zhen was not panicked at all. He drew a talisman in the air with both hands, and the talisman shone with golden light.
He pushed hard with both hands, and the talisman stuck to the cage.
With a loud boom, a large hole was blasted open in the cage.
Brother Thunderbolt vomited a mouthful of blood with a loud retch, his face turning pale.
The Origin of Life standing on the commander’s position opened the “Holy Code” in his left palm, and the energy on the chessboard was redistributed accordingly.
Streams of white energy flowed along the vertical and horizontal lines of the chessboard and poured into Brother Thunderbolt’s body.
Brother Thunderbolt’s face gradually became rosy again. Feeling the abundant power within his body, a strong will to fight burst forth in his eyes.
“Again!”
This was Lin Xiaohe’s first time fighting enemies in the fourth-dimensional Holy Realm. Brother Thunderbolt absolutely could not embarrass Lin Xiaohe!
Wu Zhen frowned. His strength was far above Brother Thunderbolt’s, but he could not withstand the other side’s energy replenishment.
He glanced across the chessboard. Every vertical and horizontal line, every square, stored energy, especially that boundary river, whose rolling waters were all liquid energy.
The giant tomb of the insect race floating above it could even absorb energy from the outside world in real time and replenish the Holy Realm.
If it became a war of attrition, it would definitely be unfavorable to him.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhen no longer held back and drew an enormous number of talismans.
The talismans blasted toward Brother Thunderbolt’s cage as if they cost nothing.
Brother Thunderbolt gritted his teeth and sped up his weaving work.
At the same time, six walls of light pressed toward Wu Zhen from six directions at once, and their speed grew faster and faster, like the collapse of some kind of energy body, with a strong tendency to shrink into a single black dot.
The talismans and the ice walls collided again, and the resulting turbulent energy blew both Wu Zhen and Brother Thunderbolt away at the same time.
【Draw, close piece positions.】
The chess squares where the two were located instantly turned gray.
Brother Thunderbolt and Wu Zhen seemed frozen in place, maintaining the posture of being blown away, suspended in the air.
As for the other piece positions, there were wins, losses, and draws.
Lin Xiaohe’s main body was blocked outside the chessboard, watching the two sides battle from the overall perspective.
Relying on home-field advantage, Lin Xiaohe’s Origin of Life was faintly fighting Li Qing to a draw.
Lin Xiaohe’s heart stirred. She sensed that several mysterious gazes were also watching the chessboard.
She looked in the direction her intuition pointed, but saw only clusters of mist.
Suddenly, the chessboard said: 【A true gentleman observes in silence.】
A pure energy body shaped like an ice cone shot from the chessboard into the gray mist.
The mist rolled a few times, then returned to calm.
Lin Xiaohe understood. Just now, someone had probably tried to contact Li Qing inside the chessboard through some method, and had then been taught a lesson by the chessboard’s rules.
She touched her nose, thankful that she had not forcibly tried to enter the chessboard earlier.
On the chessboard, there was a scene of flashing blades and sword shadows.
Lin Xiaohe could not help, so she began studying the pendant gifted by the Dimensional Travel Ship.
The pendant was cool and cold, as thin as a cicada’s wing, and felt somewhat bouncy to the touch.
Lin Xiaohe pressed it against the back of her hand and did not feel anything unusual.
After about 10 seconds, the pendant activated.
【Star Domain Space No. H-0510, collapse evolution 9.99999%.】
This information seemed to suddenly appear in Lin Xiaohe’s mind.
Lin Xiaohe was greatly shocked. She quickly checked the Origin of Life in the chessboard and only relaxed after seeing that there was still nothing unusual.
But the doubts in her heart about the Dimensional Travel Ship only deepened.
To be able to implant information into her mind at will in the fourth dimension meant that they could do whatever they wanted in the fourth dimension.
The Dimensional Travel Ship itself was far beyond the fourth dimension in strength.
What level of civilization could create such a powerful Dimensional Travel Ship?
Since the Dimensional Travel Ship was so powerful, why had no trace of them been seen in the prehistoric civilizations of the previous eras?
Lin Xiaohe thought of the Holy Ship in the Witch civilization. Was the Holy Ship more powerful, or was the Dimensional Travel Ship more powerful?
She also remembered the words of the shadowy figure when she was at the Holy Stele.
Even with the Dimensional Travel Ship, one could only increase by a tiny bit the probability of surviving the great crisis of world destruction.
Then what exactly would the great crisis of world destruction be like?
Lin Xiaohe could not imagine it, just as two-dimensional beings could never understand what a three-dimensional space was like.
A kind of helpless frustration lingered in her chest.
This feeling was too unbearable.
Lin Xiaohe knew she was very strong, and she also knew that many extradomain civilizations were coveting her body, but she did not know where exactly this strength lay, or how to use it!
Her thinking and cognition seemed imprisoned in a glass cover, unworthy of this body of hers.
And this was still the result after she had unlocked the first gene lock.
If she had not unlocked this gene lock, she suspected that her consciousness and Origin of Life would have been devoured by this body.
This kind of thinking and cognition could not be improved through study alone.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you see.
Lin Xiaohe was in the third-dimensional world, and the dimension itself limited her cognition. This was an innate flaw.
Lin Xiaohe thought hard about how to improve herself and maximize the advantages of her body.
【Please note, collapse process of No. H-0510 has reached the 10% critical point. The collapse will accelerate.】
Almost at the same time as the pendant’s sound, all life, whether in the third dimension or the fourth dimension, had an extra countdown in their awareness.
【10%】
Both sides fighting on the Holy Realm chessboard stopped at once.
Li Qing clenched his fist in shock: “It’s the Holy Stele! Only the Holy Stele can send a warning to every living being!”
Lin Xiaohe agreed with him.
Within this star domain, all intelligent beings reincarnated through the Holy Stele.
Was it not easy for the Holy Stele to tamper with their souls?
Even though Lin Xiaohe had already given up reincarnation, she had after all used the Holy Stele to trace back to the First Era, so she could not escape the Holy Stele either.
Li Qing looked somewhat urgent and took the initiative to propose: “How about a draw? The great crisis of world destruction has arrived early. We should not waste time fighting each other.”
Lin Xiaohe’s Origin of Life was in perfect sync with her main body. She nodded and said, “Fine, a draw!”
The chessboard: 【With both sides’ agreement, this game is a draw.】
In the Holy Realm, the power of rules binding every person instantly dispersed.
Li Qing and the others turned into streaks of green flowing light and scattered away.
Lin Xiaohe then issued battle preparation orders to the Stardust humans through the Holy Realm.
【Accelerate the modification of the Ark!】
