Chapter 556 The Time-Space Chess Game
Chapter 556 The Time-Space Chess Game
The net was ready, but Gao Wu didn't care at all. With his Supreme Battle Body, he could easily take on two opponents at once.
With Xiao Song added, it's already an overwhelming advantage.
Gao Wu could see that the Nine Heavens Realm had been destroyed by the Primordial One himself, who had taken out all the accumulation of this era and exchanged it for power.
It must be said that Yuanshi was very decisive and well-prepared. Of course, these were definitely tactics Yuanshi used to deal with other gods, but he used them against him.
He and Xiao Song actually didn't go; they were just temporarily avoiding the limelight.
However, the longer the delay, the more fully the three gods prepare, which is actually more disadvantageous for them.
Chaos, due to its unique characteristics, is difficult to resolve quickly.
There's actually another hidden problem: Earth is fragile. He could kill three god-kings, that's true, but he couldn't stop them from going berserk.
With the power of a level thirteen god, destroying the Great Wall of Time and Space would not be difficult.
He excels in combat, but his spatial abilities are unlikely to surpass those of the three original gods.
The biggest problem is that Earth's location in the material universe has long been locked. Even if he temporarily shifts time and space, it will be difficult to escape the search of the three god lords.
Gao Wu said to Song Mingyue, "Those three god lords have lived for so long, they must have special abilities."
"If you encounter a truly difficult situation, stay calm and don't panic..."
"Understood." Song Mingyue naturally knew the danger involved. Those were three top-tier god-lords. If she and Gao Wu were not careful, they would suffer a crushing defeat.
Gao Wu and Song Mingyue discussed tactics before Gao Wu brought her to Da Luo Tian.
As the primordial sun hung high in the sky, he looked down at Gao Wu and Song Mingyue and said, "You two have come at the right time. This time, let's play a game with heaven and earth as the board, ourselves as the pieces, and life and death as the stakes."
"Alright." Gao Wu had already realized that the surrounding spacetime structure was very special. If he wanted to kill the three God Lords, he had no choice but to risk coming in.
It's better to be magnanimous this time. If the other party sets up a game of strategy and wants to outwit them, then he can play along.
If he can't win at chess, he can still play the role of the Great Han Chess Saint.
Without waiting for Gao Wu's reply, the Primordial Heavenly King pointed his finger, causing spacetime to flip and change. With Gao Wu and Song Mingyue's abilities, they were instantly lost and had no idea where they were.
The flipped spacetime solidified into a stable space once again, and Gao Wu and Song Mingyue found themselves deep in the ice field, with the northern gate of the spacetime Great Wall, transformed by the Chaos Dragon King, in front of them.
Deep in the ice field, construction teams are still working, and various heavy machines are building permanent defensive fortifications.
The bustling scene before them evoked a strong sense of familiarity in both Gao Wu and Song Mingyue.
The two quickly realized something was wrong; their strength had been greatly weakened.
Gao Wu examined himself and found that only the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra and the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra were at the Limitless Realm, while the other three divine mantras were at the Primordial Chaos State.
Song Mingyue, however, was only at level ten, and her strength level had dropped even further.
"We've gone back to last May..."
Gao Wu immediately realized that he and Song Mingying had actually returned to May of 120 years ago, which was when Qin Liuhe had just built the Time and Space Great Wall.
So, the three Heavenly Kings, including the Primordial Heavenly King, worked together to reverse time and send them back to more than a year ago.
Not only was their cultivation state reversed, but the entire spacetime of Earth was reversed.
This made Gao Wu deeply suspicious that everything before his eyes must be an illusion!
If the God could reverse time, then the God would never fail...
If we consider time as the movement of particles, starting from the Big Bang, countless energy particles move according to certain laws, gradually forming matter and life.
Theoretically speaking, if the motion of all particles is reversed, time can be reversed.
Realistically speaking, even the divine realm established by the God-King cannot reverse time.
Not to mention that it is absolutely impossible for the three gods to forcibly reverse all the particles of the material universe and revert to the state of a year ago!
If time could be reversed, then the very foundation of everything would vanish. Eras would cease to exist.
Gao Wu realized that the space-time before him was merely a simulation and manifestation of divine power. This was not an illusion, but rather a fragment that the three divine masters had extracted from the past and re-deduced using divine power.
Everything and everyone in this space-time is neither real nor fake.
The true power of this spacetime, forged with divine power, lies in its limitation of his and Xiao Song's power.
Of course, the three god lords could not directly unleash their level thirteen divine power, as that would cause this spacetime to collapse completely.
This spacetime is essentially the same as the spacetime transformed by the Taihao Dao Fruit.
The Primordial Heavenly King and his companions were the creators of this space-time, and those who enter must also abide by the laws of this space-time.
Once the power of level thirteen is used, it will cause enormous damage to this space-time.
Gao Wu sensed the power in his body and knew that this was not his original body, but a template extracted from the past.
Just as the Primordial Heavenly King said, they set up a game of chess. Everyone in this space-time fought based on their own abilities.
As for why the other party chose this time, it's probably because it was at this time that Yuanshi noticed him!
When Qin Shi Huang took over the Epang Palace, he killed the star officials and star guards of the Heavenly Court.
From that point onward, he may have been noticed by the Primal. Therefore, the Primal could only begin from this point in time...
In this space-time, his power is restricted, which allows the three gods to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble.
But what's the point? This spacetime is ultimately a simulation. Even if his body is destroyed in this spacetime, what impact will it have on him?
Even those with exceptional martial arts skills, who have reached the highest level, can see through the essence of time and space, yet cannot fathom the intentions of several divine lords.
The root cause is a lack of understanding of the divine laws governing the various deities, leading to information asymmetry and making it difficult to make accurate judgments.
Song Mingyue looked at Gao Wu with some confusion. Although she was at a higher level, her knowledge in this area was far inferior to Gao Wu's, and she still didn't quite understand why she had returned to the past.
Gao Wu said softly, "It's nothing. It's just a spacetime simulated by divine power. It looks like the past, but it's actually part of the future."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed that countless strange beasts, races, spirits, and demons had arrived outside the north gate of the Great Wall of Time and Space.
The auras of the three demon gods, the Qilin King, the White Crow King, and the White Eagle King, were spreading everywhere, indicating that these three demon gods had also arrived.
The three demon gods who had died were extracted from the past, re-formed, and led their various demon subordinates to invade.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a demon god to simultaneously command a large army to attack Earth.
For a god like the White Eagle King, Earth is just one of countless small targets to be conquered, not worth the trouble of a major war.
There is no hierarchical relationship among the demon gods, and they cannot cooperate with each other.
There are also various alien races, spirits, and demons, each with different personalities and lifestyles, making it impossible for them to be truly organized together in an orderly manner.
It's like putting pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, rabbits, and tigers together to form a large army; it sounds easy, but it's actually impossible.
Only in this special space and time, under the operation of several divine masters, could such a scene occur.
Gao Wu had a feeling that the several god-lords wanted to use this spacetime to kill the two fragile projections of them, and also to destroy all humankind on Earth...
He examined the Limitless Divine Armor, which was equivalent to an eleventh-level god. Combined with Earth's state regarding source energy, both he and the Limitless Divine Armor possessed level twelve combat power.
Xiao Song was almost there, but she was already a level thirteen god-lord with superb combat awareness. Although her physical cultivation was weak, she still had level twelve combat power.
The gods could not stand idly by; they would inevitably join the battle.
Therefore, the White Eagle King, the White Crow King, and the Qilin King must be their incarnations.
In terms of top-level strength, the two sides are evenly matched.
However, the fact that the three divine beings, each an incarnation of a demon, have hundreds of millions of demon followers makes things rather troublesome.
Once the Great Wall of Time and Space is breached, they will be fine, but the people of Earth will likely all die.
This kind of interplay between space and time could actually kill all humanity on Earth.
Upon realizing this, Gao Wu suddenly understood something: to prevent any accidents, the Primordial Heavenly King and his people had actually bound the lives of all the Earthlings to each other.
In other words, even if he finds a flaw in spacetime and guides his true form in, the three god-kings will use their level thirteen power to destroy this spacetime together.
Regardless of the extent of the backlash they will suffer, the humans on Earth will certainly all die.
Choosing this particular spacetime is essentially like using all of humanity as a fuse to prevent power overload.
Gao Wu quickly realized the key: if they restricted the power of the Primal, they would be confident of defeating him.
Currently, it appears that the opposing side has established the rules of combat and designated the battlefield, giving them an exceptionally significant advantage.
He was bound to everyone on Earth, yet forced to follow the rules.
Gao Wu communicated with Song Mingyue using his mind: "Can you still use Chu Guang?"
Song Mingyue replied, "A little bit is usable."
Her body is only at level ten, so theoretically she shouldn't be able to use level thirteen divine power.
However, the rules of this spacetime are only at level thirteen, which can suppress her, but not completely.
Song Mingyue said with great concern, "There are too many demons coming; I'm afraid we won't be able to hold them off."
If it's just about guarding the northern gate of the Great Wall of Time and Space, she and Gao Wu should be able to hold on.
However, the enemy's billions of demons will inevitably attack and kill along the Great Wall of Time and Space.
The Great Wall of Time and Space's weakness is its northern gate, but that doesn't mean the wall can only be breached through the northern gate. It simply means that attacking the Great Wall from other locations would require a hundred times the effort.
Gao Wu said, "I roughly guessed their idea: to lower the level, gain an advantage through numbers, break through the Great Wall of Time and Space first, and then further enhance the power of the demons..."
The White Eagle King, an incarnation of the Primordial Heavenly King, is communicating with the White Crow King of the End and the Qilin King of Order.
"Gao Wu can see the essence of this space-time, but he will not understand the true power of the primordial and the ultimate."
The Primordial Heavenly King stated with absolute certainty, "Once his projection in this spacetime is terminated, his connection with the era will be severed. The Dao Fruit of the new Lord of Light will also be stripped away."
"We will also leave a final mark on his very soul, completely resolving this major problem..." (End of Chapter)
