Somewhere in the Grey Mist Sea.

The source Qi of the color grey had grown so dense that it had turned into a liquid and subsequently crystallized into grey Origin Crystals, forming a mountain made entirely of these crystals.

At the peak of this grey crystal mountain stood a grey palace.

The entire palace looked like it had been carved out of a giant grey Origin Stone. Although shrouded in grey haze, it did not lack in texture.

Above the palace were mysterious inscriptions, the runes belonging to terrifying races such as the Time-Space Worm and the Stealworld Demon Rat.

Within this palace, one could vanish from space itself and grasp the secret of time, where ten years would pass inside, while outside, only a single day would go by!

Of course, every time the Temporal Secret Hall was activated, it came at a great cost; thus, it was not to be opened lightly unless at crucial moments!

Inside the palace, at its center, was a grey pool of Origin, surrounded by Overlord-level beings who had taken their seats. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“My lords, this is the crystal that was transmitted from the True Ancestor Realm,” said Lu Ba, taking out the crystal and waving his hand, causing the crystal to float above the pool.

Everyone turned their gaze towards the crystal.

The scenes within the crystal were suddenly projected outward!

It was a piece of the land, where a ruin stood, and from amidst it, seven astonishing rainbows seemed to puncture the sky, their aura shooting through the heavens, striking awe in everyone.

“What a terrifying aura!”

“How can there be such a level of spirit in the True Ancestor World? It far surpasses the Four Sights… could it be a Heaven Venerate?”

“Possibly… even higher than a Heaven Venerate!”

For a time, everyone in the great hall began to speak, one after another.

Although it was just a scene recorded in the crystal, the sensation of that world-shocking spirit was still palpable.

“Hehe, within the entire True Ancestor World, the only one capable of leaving such a legacy… could only be that woman from The End of Myriad Paths,” remarked an elder clad in a robe interwoven with intersecting lines of a chessboard.

He was the Old Chess Hegemon from Heisha Mountain, Heijue!

“Indeed, these seven rays of light have indeed formed a kind of chess strategy… This setup… it’s extremely terrifying, arguably the most terrifying one I’ve ever seen in my life!”

The Heavenly Firmament Hegemon from the Origin Chess Sect had an extremely solemn expression, with his eyelids twitching slightly, and he said:

“Although there are only seven pieces, within these seven, there are at least a dozen variations, each exceedingly intricate and vast like the myriad stars in the sky… The chess power of The End of Myriad Paths is too frightening!”

Beside him, Old Turtle nodded and added:

“Indeed, to condense the vast and complex chess strategies into seven pieces… This seven-piece chess set can truly be said to be… the number one chess set in the world!”

“The End of Myriad Paths… although an enemy, one can’t help but admit that her chess power is undoubtedly stunning and exceptional!”

Just one look was all it took for the ten great chess Overlords to turn very serious, and they couldn’t help but feel a sense of reverence for the figure from The End of Myriad Paths!

“Hehe, just something left behind by a dead person!”

Old Overlord Heijue from Heisha Mountain stood up and said:

“If this chess game is her contingency plan, then all we need to do is break it… and the True Ancestor Realm will no longer pose any threat!”

“All of us here are outstanding individuals in the path of chess. By working together to deduce it, I refuse to believe that we can’t break her game!”

Hearing this, the others also nodded in agreement.

“Her era has already ended!”

“Are we to be weaker than her?!”

Thus, the ten great Overlords began to work together to unravel this seven-piece chess game!

…

The entire Grey Mist Sea was watching.

“It’s said that The End of Myriad Paths left behind a contingency in the form of a chess game, and the ten great chess Overlords are currently working to solve it!”

“A day in the outside world is ten years inside the Temporal Secret Hall. Based on this, the ten Overlords have been inside for a year!”

“No news yet, and there’s no telling how the progress is.”

The world was abuzz with discussion.

Soon enough.

In the second year inside the Temporal Secret Hall.

“The Earth Fiend Hegemon has come out, and he was carried out!”

A message finally emerged, sparking a huge uproar.

“What? The Earth Fiend Hegemon was carried out? What happened?”

“Could there have been some misfortune?!”

Many were shocked and extremely curious.

Soon, a whisper of information trickled out from within the Temporal Secret Hall:

“According to the news, the part of the chess game that the Earth Fiend Hegemon was deducing was too complex; he pondered over it to no avail, finally exhausting himself into unconsciousness, hence he had to be carried out!”

This news stunned everyone within the Grey Mist Sea.

“Was the chess game left by The End of Myriad Paths that formidable?”

“The Earth Fiend Hegemon is one of the two great master chess players of the Origin Chess Sect…”

“Is there actually a chess game in this world that can exhaust him to the point of fainting?!”

People found it… almost inconceivable.

But then, in the third year inside the Temporal Secret Hall.

“A member of the Negative Chess Luo Turtle Clan, an old turtle, has also been carried out, bleeding from both ears, with a report that it was quite dire!”

This message was profoundly shocking!

“What… a master of the Negative Chess Luo Turtle Clan ended up in such a state?!”

“What on earth happened?”

Everyone was on edge.

“It is still the issue with the chess game. This master from the Negative Chess Luo Turtle Clan believed he had solved part of it, but instead, he entrapped himself and nearly went mad!”

Further whispers continued to seep from within the Temporal Secret Hall.

The news once again caused a sensation!

“Is the chess game really that difficult? Two years have passed inside the Temporal Secret Hall, and it still hasn’t been broken?”

“Not only has it not been broken, but two of the chess Overlords… have been carried out…”
