"Boom!"

The massive light cocoon slowly floated, ready to soar into the sky at any moment. However, Athena descended to the ground, as if abandoned by Ye Chen.

"Ah, ah, ah, don't leave yet, take me with you!" Athena shouted in frustration, calling out loudly to Ye Chen.

Athena had a strong purpose in her actions. Since she had decided to pursue Ye Chen, she would push relentlessly, giving him no chance to catch his breath!

Athena believed that she was so beautiful, with such a great figure, Ye Chen would surely obey her... But reality had shown her she was overthinking it!

"Ye Chen, take her along!" Yalina sighed. "I have no attachments in this life, other than you, just this one sister!"

"The current situation is chaotic, if she stays in the West, I will inevitably worry... It's better to take her with us!"

Yalina also didn't know what happened, why Athena liked Ye Chen, or why she wanted to flirt with her brother-in-law!

But Athena was her sister, her only concern, and Yalina couldn't abandon her!

"Let's depart!"

Ye Chen was undergoing transformation, grasping the profound mystery, with no time to consider much, only eager to return to the East.

"Boom!"

The massive light cocoon slowly rotated, emanating a mysterious force, breaking into the void, traversing space-time with Yalina's sisters.

…

Beijing.

In front of an ancient house, under an old tree, a group of elderly sages gathered, some drinking tea, some playing chess, others discussing the way.

"The multiverse is the chessboard, all beings are chess pieces, what a magnificent game it is!"

Two elderly sages, with an ethereal aura, gave off an immortal feeling, like legendary Immortals.

They sat opposite each other, with a chessboard between them, engaged in a game.

However, their chessboard had a difference; everywhere were mysteries and profound secrets, giving off an infinite majestic feeling.

The two old sages, with mastery over creation, overlooked the multiverse, were prominent figures, and their game was naturally no ordinary game!

They used the chessboard to evolve the cosmos, one transforming pieces into innumerable beings, the other into evil, battling in a heavenly contest!

Occasionally, the chessboard lit up with fluorescent light, revealing an utmost mystery, hard to fathom.

"Canglan Realm, Earth, are centers of the chess game, the most important places!" An old sage looked at the game, suddenly sighed. "Disaster has descended upon Canglan Realm; the Hundred Saints are trying to suppress it… but they won't last long!"

"This terror will soon spread, pervading every corner of the multiverse, leaving no place of tranquility!"

As this old sage spoke, the chess game changed dramatically, with a piece transforming into Demon King's Evil Troops, intending to engulf the entire chessboard.

This sage held the black pieces, embodying the path of extinction, while the other held the white pieces, guarding and defending!

"The multiverse has undergone eight great catastrophes; this is the ninth and final one!" The other sage stared at the chessboard and said solemnly. "Thus, the outcome this time is either you die, or I perish!"

"In the past eight great catastrophes, we failed each time, countless strong perished!" the sage stated. "This epoch, even with some foundation, we might not be able to resist the opponent!"

"According to common logic, we would certainly lose!" the other sage said. "But the world is full of uncertainties, until the last moment, who wins, who loses, is too early to say!"

"Boom!"

The speaking sage placed a white piece into the game, prompting a game-changing shift!

The whole board dark pieces transforming into terror, ready to engulf the entire board, yet with the white piece placed, a force of illumination surged, resisting the dark piece's erosion!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The small chessboard overflowed with terror, the black and white pieces representing unpredictability, stirring up unimaginable horror.

Each piece transformed into a small world, birthing countless strange troops, one side representing justice, the other evil, clashing in a duel to decide victory!

Both sages were invincible figures, divining cosmic transformations, foreseeing the catastrophe's trajectory.

Hence, they utilized the chessboard to evolve the cosmos, aiming to predict the catastrophe!

The black and white pieces embodied good and evil forces, clashing fiercely, the battle locked in deadlock.

Yet the battlefield suddenly changed, evil forces became formidable, nearly crushing the illumination, almost devouring the chessboard.

But just as the black piece seemed to prevail, the white piece suddenly erupted invincible, surprisingly halting the black piece's consumption!

"Old Three and Old Six are obsessed, studying that damn chessboard daily, almost driving themselves insane!"

The two sages engaged in the chessboard skirmish, evolving cosmic mysteries, metamorphosing myriad paths of unpredictability, absolutely profound beyond measure!

However, their struggle drew teasing from several others. Four sages, equally ethereal, stood high and mighty.

These four sages gathered for tea, each holding a purple clay cup, from which clear air wafted, exuding an enchanting aroma, as if some Immortal divine brew.

"Old Three and Old Six have it tough, Huaxia remains stable thanks to their planning and scheming, while we are merely henchmen!" One person looked at the two playing chess and smiled mysteriously.

They are a group of ancient beings, guarding the peace of their world!

The two elders playing chess are the masterminds, while the rest are the strongest vanguard. Wherever chaos lies, there they will appear!

"This upcoming catastrophe is no small matter. If it cannot be resisted, all realms will fall into ruin!"

"Even if a chessboard can evolve partially, it cannot possibly deduce everything!"

"Furthermore, the most common thing in the world is change, as ordinary as eating and drinking water! Yet, if you hiccup while eating, you could choke to death, or you could drown while drinking!"

"This catastrophe is filled with unknowns, strengthening oneself is the key, as for any deduction or arrangement... it's all nonsense!"

These are invincible individuals, each with an unyielding heart, knowing that only by being invincible themselves can they cross the sea of suffering!

However, this catastrophe is too fierce, only by achieving utmost perfection is there a possibility of overcoming it!

Whether it's deducing the catastrophe or strengthening oneself, both are indispensable!

"The Canglan Realm is about to fall. Once those beings descend, all realms will be devastated!"

"All the great powers are planning, seeking the path of transcendence..."

"But this era is filled with change, who can truly transcend?"

"If all realms are in chaos, Earth will become the storm center. Then, Earth's alliance of strong must resist all invaders and reestablish Earth's order... truly a long and arduous journey!"

"Earth's foundation is not weaker than the Canglan Realm, it just hasn't been shown!"

"Once strong beings from all realms invade Earth, it will awaken all Earth's strong. The eruption of power at that time will astonish all realms!"

"This era... is truly vast and awe-inspiring!"

Some evolve the heavens on a chessboard, others taste tea and discuss the Dao. Meanwhile, two elders sit on the treetops, talking passionately with hearts filled with all life!

The existence of Earth is incredible, with unfathomable depth!

Moreover, due to some special reasons, Earth will become the storm center, attracting beings from all realms.

Therefore, Earth must resist external invasions, establishing an order that even a Saint must follow!

However, the strong are all proud and unruly. Even among them, who can be a sage?

It can be imagined that soon, Earth will erupt into chaos, stirring a battle of saints!

"Many geniuses have emerged on Earth. The Dragon Team has absorbed some, ancient families and the capital's few families have absorbed some. Some remain free spirits, unwilling to be bound by powers!" said an elder sitting on the treetop, looking at the crescent moon with a sense of melancholy.

As chaos descends, the strong are precious resources, everyone wants to recruit and forge connections!

Moreover, there are too many heroes on Earth. Many are cultivating forces, those who emerge are numerous, but not one is left untouched!

"General geniuses can only reach the other shore, but what we need are saints!" sighed another elder. "Though many strong have emerged recently, where are the true geniuses!"

"Only ancient geniuses, even genius kings, can fulfill our needs!"

"Currently, only Yun Zheyue stands out, reaching our expectations, becoming an ancient genius!"

Mountains are not high, with Immortals they become sacred, waters are not deep, with dragons they gain life.

Huaxia needs not a motley crew, but truly elite warriors!

"Second brother, did you know Yun Zheyue has a daughter?" suddenly asked an elder, seated on the treetop, to another elder.

"I know, what's the matter?" replied the elder. "According to my thoughts, this child should not be born! But Yun Zheyue is too stubborn, ignoring our advice and insisting on giving birth!"

They are all Yun Zheyue's elders, naturally aware of Yun Zheyue having a child.

Moreover, when Yun Zheyue first got pregnant, they were furious, asking Yun Zheyue to terminate the child!

In the martial path, if one does not advance, they retract. If Yun Zheyue gave birth to offspring, it might hinder her cultivation.

Therefore, upon learning of Yun Zheyue's pregnancy, they all opposed the child's birth!

However, Yun Zheyue was stubborn, disregarding her elders' advice, and insistently gave birth.

Fortunately, the child's birth did not affect Yun Zheyue's cultivation!

Moreover, for some reason, the child's birth not only didn't affect Yun Zheyue, but rather greatly enhanced her power!

"I just saw Yun Zheyue a few days ago, this girl is becoming more formidable, increasingly unfathomable!"

"Furthermore, that day the Tai Family girl caused havoc in Wanshi, Yun Zheyue actually fended off the Tai Family's offerings, her level is hardly weaker than ours!"

"I feel Yun Zheyue continues to progress, advancing rapidly, almost becoming a king of geniuses!"

Yun Zheyue is the successor they cultivated, their spokesperson, presiding over Huaxia, establishing prestige!

Therefore, with such achievements from Yun Zheyue, they are very pleased, very gratified.

"Yun Zheyue's progress is astonishing, but have you paid attention to her daughter?" asked the elder.
