Saint Defier Expanse Cosmos was the ninetieth Expanse Cosmos among the eighty Expanse Cosmoses beyond the gap in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. That Expanse Cosmos was located at the center of Saint Defier. The galaxy was not black, but had a faint red tint to it. There were no stars in the galaxy, only countless blue threads floating about.
These threads were all illusory, as if they did not exist. However, they floated eternally, causing the starry sky here to be filled with a dreamy feeling. It was completely different from ordinary space.
But at the same time, those who had lived here for a long time would also feel that the outside world was different from their hometown when they went to the starry sky outside for the first time.
At this moment, there were countless bubbles in the seemingly boundless space of the 90th world. There were big and small bubbles, and there were two people sitting in a bubble that was about a hundred thousand feet wide.
One was a middle-aged man dressed in a casual blue robe. His long hair was tied up and coiled above his head. His face was as white as jade, and he looked cultured and refined. There was a smile on his face, and he held a chess piece in his right hand as he stared at the chessboard in front of him.
Opposite him was an old man in a white robe. The old man stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to be deep in thought.
"I made one wrong move in this game. One wrong move, and the whole game is full of mistakes." After a long time, the middle-aged man smiled and placed the chess piece in his hand to the side. He raised his head and looked at the old man.
"It is my honor to be able to make the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei admit that his son was wrong," the old man said with a smile. His voice was hoarse, and it was filled with the passage of time.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said calmly in a self-deprecating manner, "I can't blame myself for being in Saint Defier's Xuan Jiu's chessboard, which has never had a legacy since the world was created and is the only one that is eternally ancient, Xuan Jiu."
"But I do not quite understand why Senior Xuan Jiu would use his divine thought to play this game of chess against me when I am about to descend to Arid Triad." As he spoke, the middle-aged man raised his head with a smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth. However, there was a sharp and oppressive light in his eyes that caused the sky to lose its colour.
The old man remained silent for a moment before he slowly said in a low voice, "The chess piece in your hand might not be a chess piece, and the chessboard you see might not be a chessboard either, but no matter what … since the first Avacaniya Realm cultivator to descend in Arid Triad is from Dark Dawn … then I do not wish for one wrong move to lead to a complete mess."
"Returning to Arid Triad is the most important matter for both of us. We cannot afford any accidents. Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei, please pay more attention to this."
The sharpness in the middle-aged man's eyes became even sharper, and the smile on his face gradually became colder.
"Saint Defier has no right to tell me how I do things! As for the pawn in this emperor's hands … to be able to become my pawn is his honor. Also … a pawn in this emperor's hands is destined to be a pawn, unable to escape this emperor's grasp. " There was no arrogance in the middle-aged man's expression, but the confidence in his words caused his aura to soar to the heavens.
"What if one wrong move leads to a whole game of mistakes?" The old man said lightly.
"Even if one wrong move leads to the entire board going wrong, I am the one who played the game. I can restart the game!" the middle-aged man said coldly.
"What if the chessboard is broken?"
"Then I will reconstruct the chessboard!"
A glint appeared in the old man's eyes, and he enunciated each of his words slowly. "What if the pawn becomes the player?"
"That's impossible!" the middle-aged man said resolutely.
"Perhaps this is indeed impossible … but what if there is another person besides the pawn?"
"Are you talking about that ant from Ninth Summit, the person who has fused with True Morning Dao World's will? That person is audacious. He actually dared to fuse with a True World's will? I'm afraid that he has long since lost his sense of self. Can he still be considered a human?" the middle-aged man asked coldly.
"I sensed a strange power spreading out from an unknown spot in Arid Triad. It opened a tunnel, and no one knows where it leads to. It exiled some people as if they were exiled.
"Can you do this?" The old man stared at the middle-aged man, and a stern look appeared on his face.
"That's why you didn't let our people attack Ninth Summit by force. Instead, you suppressed the Paragons' fighting spirit and stalled for time." The middle-aged man's expression remained cold, and no one could tell what he was thinking from his words.
The old man was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "Before the situation becomes clear and we can't tell whether he has fused with True Morning Dao World or … has truly replaced True Morning Dao World, I don't want to offend him. I don't want to make the results of the battle increase and make him angry. At that time, if one wrong move leads to the entire board going wrong, the cultivators of our Expanse Cosmoses will be buried in his anger under your command," he said slowly.
"When I said one wrong move just now, I wasn't talking about you, but myself. I, Saint Defier, chose the wrong move in the past … Now, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei is about to descend to the Expanse Cosmos. I don't want you … to continue making mistakes."
The middle-aged man stared at the old man. After a long while, the aloof look on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a smile that was as warm as the spring breeze. He did not speak, but instead got up and walked into the distance.
With three steps, he disappeared from the world in the bubble without a trace.
"One wrong move leads to the entire board going wrong … Chess pieces aren't terrifying. What's terrifying is the player you can't see beside the chess piece." The old man frowned and sighed softly. He lifted his head and looked around him, and a resolute look slowly appeared on his face.
At the same time, in a dark galaxy in the central region of Dark Dawn Expanse Cosmos was a land filled with ghastly white bones. There was no end to them, and there were so many of them that it was difficult to count them. At the top of the mountain range of white bones sat a middle-aged man.
That man was the person who had been in the world in the bubble. He opened his eyes slowly, and white light shone in them. There was a hint of a cold sneer on his lips.
"Xuan Jiu has existed for far too long. He has wiped away all his glory and turned into a mountain without a peak … It's just the Ninth Summit. It's just a person who is arrogant enough to fuse with a True World's will. Is he worth paying so much attention to?
"He's not my chess piece, and neither is he worthy of being my chess piece. My chess piece … is in the Emperor of Abyss' True World." The middle-aged man stood up slowly. When he took a step forward, booming sounds echoed in the mountain range of white bones behind him. The entire mountain range swayed and turned into a sea of white bones that swept up under the man's feet. With an extreme speed, he swept through the galaxy and charged … towards Arid Triad's gap.
…..
As the flames of war spread in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, Yin Death Vortex continued rotating. There seemed to be a strange power in it, causing all those from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier to be unable to take even half a step into it.
It was just like the Antecedental Spirit's disaster in the past. Even if the disaster could enter Yin Death Vortex, it was weakened.
Yin Death Vortex continued to remain mysterious in the eyes of the people, as if it would continue rotating for eternity.
In the depths of Yin Death Vortex was Harmonious Morus Alba's Expanse Cosmos, which was connected to it as if it was a mirror that corresponded to Arid Triad. At that moment, all the worlds in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos sank into silence. All operations stopped. Only … Su Ming fought against his other self in True Sky Hill World. Once the Child of Morus Alba disappeared, he turned into a cocoon.
The cocoon was only hundreds of feet tall. From the distance, it was inconspicuous. There was no mighty pressure spreading out from it, and neither was there any astonishing presence. It was so ordinary that it seemed incredibly normal.
But Harmonious Morus Alba's will had personally descended, which was a rare sight. It surrounded the area and used the entire Expanse Cosmos to prevent all disturbances from the outside world. Its care, protection, and hope grew stronger as the days passed.
It would not allow any accidents to happen in Su Ming's metamorphosis. It would not allow Su Ming to fail, because in its expectations, Su Ming's appearance, his fusion with the Child of Morus Alba, and his possession of the wills of two Great True Worlds were all filled with variables.
In its memories, Su Ming was not the first Child of Morus Alba to be fused with, but he was the first … to fuse with the wills of two Great True Worlds.
The significance of this was completely different from everything that had happened in the past. In fact, to Harmonious Morus Alba's will, the Child of Morus Alba was not a child, but a servant. Even if the servant fused with a person from Arid Triad and continued to be a servant or changed into Arid Triad, it would not care.
But since Su Ming had Possessed True Morning Dao World and possessed the Immortal Sect Will, the cocoon was formed after he fused with the Child of Morus Alba. It was precisely because of the cocoon … that in a sense, the Su Ming in the cocoon was an existence in the same Realm as Harmonious Morus Alba and Arid Triad. In fact, they could even be acknowledged as one race!
That was why Harmonious Morus Alba cared!
It seemed to have seen faint hope in Su Ming. It was the first time … it saw hope over the countless years and aeons that had changed.
The hope of returning home!
Over the countless aeons that had passed, it had heard the call of home more than once, but it could not return. At that moment, that hope was magnified endlessly. Even if it was Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos' will, it still trembled because of the continuously magnifying hope.
It was different from Arid Triad. Compared to the aloof and almost apathetic Arid Triad, it possessed thoughts that were similar to a human's. That was why there were three Children of Morus Alba in this place, and Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos had never had such a cultivator.
Time trickled by, but it did not take long …
One day, faint cracking sounds rose in the quiet galaxy. Harmonious Morus Alba's will surged around the cocoon, and the cracking sounds gradually grew louder, as if the cocoon was cracking from the inside to the outside.
The cracking continued for a period of time, and finally, a thin crack appeared on the surface of the cocoon. The crack spread out slowly, and when a clear cracking sound rang out clearly, the crack grew to a sliver. No light spread out, but it was possible to see what was inside through that sliver of a crack.
A young man with his eyes closed could be seen inside. He was naked, and he looked as if he was sleeping calmly in the cocoon. He had black hair, and his face was so pale that it was almost white. There was a third eye at the center of his brows, but it was not vertical. Instead, it was a long horizontal slit, and there was a vertical line above it …
That vertical line seemed to be a cut that pierced through the third eye.
It looked like a cross, but at the instant Su Ming opened his eyes and the third eye, the cross looked like … a butterfly that had spread its wings!
