The moon flame is constantly burning, exuding dazzling brilliance all the time.

The starry sky that its light reaches is the star field of the moon and the sun.

All living beings here are blessed by her, bathed in her warm light, and grow and reproduce.

In the corner of the Moon Flame Taiheng, a pale gray transparent crystal barrier shrouded a blue-gray stone house.

Outside the stone house, there was a mysterious star array, which isolated the scorching and terrifying temperature of the Moon Flame Taiheng, as well as the harmful high-energy light and particle flow it emitted into the void.

Unlike the terrifying extreme heat outside the star array, inside the star array was a completely different world.

On the stone table and stone chair, a man in gray is playing against an old man with a blue complexion and gold scales on his head.

Next to the chess game, there is a verdant bamboo chair.

A girl in yellow, perhaps tired, curled up, lying on a bamboo chair, as if taking a nap, with crystal saliva in her mouth, I don't know if she dreamed of something delicious.

This chess game has been going on for months.

Often, within a few days, they make a move.

The gray-clothed man sitting cross-legged on the stone chair, and the old man opposite him, were not anxious at all, and their hearts were as calm as water.

Time, for them, is too cheap.

If Yun Xiaotian was here, he might recognize the man in gray.

He had seen in a dream that the man in gray had asked him many questions at the bar in the Heart of Styx.

Yun Xiaotian may have forgotten about this incident a long time ago, forgetting the man who had appeared in his dream out of thin air.

Human dreams are not easy to remember.

"Don't you seem clever at this step?" A black child in the hand of the gray-clothed man was put into the white circle, and the old man couldn't help but remind him loudly.

"Elder Yu Fei of the Starfish Clan, don't you still need to rely on this method to probe the truth of my move?"

The old man's mind was directly broken by the man in gray, and he was not angry, and replied lightly: "I'm an old bone now, you young people, you should let me order!" ”

The gray-clothed man was expressionless and replied, "We Terrans have a saying, called 'people become traitors when they are old', and I am not qualified to let you old foxes." ”

"When are you going to go? My small temple can no longer withstand any wind and waves, but it can't accommodate you, a great god. ”

Elder Yu Fei didn't look at the chess game on the stone table, but looked up at the blazing Moon Yan Taiheng outside the pale gray barrier, as if he was sighing something.

The man in gray asked; "Let me go, will you be at ease?"

"I'm even more upset that you're here."

Elder Yu Fei's tone did not contain half emotion, as if he was just stating a trivial matter.

"I think we can be friends ......."

"We Xingyu clan have no friends anymore, and we don't trust any friends anymore."

"We just want to stay in such a small corner and survive."

"Don't you even want to leave such a little living space to us Star Fish Clan?"

"If there is a god in the heavens, why doesn't he want to favor our poor starfish?!"

Elder Yu Fei seemed to have endless resentment in his heart, and he had been unwavering, and there was a slight tremor in his tired words, and there seemed to be unwillingness in his heart.

"You know, it's useless." The man in gray was unmoved, and still said lightly.

After Elder Yu Fei calmed down his slightly excited expression just now, he said indifferently with a slight irony: "Of course I know that His Highness Lan Yan, the prodigal son of the Star Sea, who was born in the Human Blood Temple, will not pity and sympathize with me, a bad old man, let alone have compassion for our Xingyu clan. ”

"Most of you prodigals in the sea of stars are already widowed, ruthless and unrighteous madmen."

"How could I talk to you about this stuff, it's so stupid!"

"It's stupid......!"

At Elder Yu Fei's ridicule, the man in gray was still as indifferent as usual, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

Elder Yu Fei of the Starfish Clan continued to probe and said, "When you come to the star array I have laid out, are you really afraid that you won't be able to leave?" ”

"Don't be afraid."

"I've been to a place a thousand times more dangerous than yours."

Sitting across the stone table with black and white chess pieces, Elder Yu Fei and the man in gray stared at each other with their eyes, not to be outdone.

Elder Yu Fei asked again, "What are you here for?" ”

"Find someone."

The answer of the man in gray has not changed.

"Haven't you found it already?"

"Why don't you take them out of here?"

Elder Yu Fei looked like he wanted the gray-clothed man opposite him to leave early.

"There's no hurry."

"For the ant-like refugees here?"

"It's not."

The man in gray's answer was always two or two words, concise and powerful.

Elder Yu Fei, who was sitting opposite him, although he hoped that he could say more, was helpless about it.

"Also, they're not ants, they're warriors of the Terrans." The man in gray is a rare positive color.

Elder Yu Fei then asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

The man in gray was a little interested, and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of the Demon Blood Evil Alliance where the Zerg and Luo Clan are located?" ”

Elder Yu Fei was stunned and replied, "You just didn't say it, I can't afford to mess with them." ”

"Haven't you made up your mind yet?"

"It seems to me that you simply don't have a choice."

The gray-clothed man's dark pupils stared at Elder Yu Fei, who was slightly tired at this time, waiting for his answer.

"Playing chess...... Play chess......! ”

"I'm not in a hurry."

Elder Yu Fei of the Starfish Clan looked at the black and white chessboard in front of him, his expression focused, as if he was really thinking about what to do next.

"You're here for the heir of the Divine Tiger Martial King of the Taipoor Empire?" Elder Yu Fei, who was looking at the chessboard intently, did not look up, and suddenly asked out loud.

His little trick didn't work.

The man in gray replied, "Yes and no." ”

"Yes, yes, no, no."

Elder Yu Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's so tiring to talk to you." ”

"No comment."

From beginning to end, the man in gray sat upright on the blue-gray stone chair, without moving too much, and even his expression did not change.

"The Taipoor Empire is the richest empire among the three major empires of your human race, and the Divine Tiger Martial King has a high status."

"I know that in order to find his heir whose whereabouts are unknown, the Divine Tiger Warrior King has offered a sky-high price."

Staring at the chessboard, Elder Yu Fei asked softly, "You're not tempted?" ”

"You know?" The man in gray was slightly surprised and asked out loud.

"Of course I do."

"I already knew about it not long after they arrived."

"After all, this is our Xingyu clan, the last ancestral land, so naturally we must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The slight shock in the gray-clothed man's heart calmed down instantly, and said, "Since you know, you shouldn't have any luck thoughts." ”

The old man sighed and said, "I just hope that this day will come later." ”

"It's a little later, it's a little bit."

"After all, our Xingyu clan can no longer withstand any wind and waves."

The old man was gentle and loving, looked at the sleeping girl in yellow on the side, and begged the man in gray: "If you have the opportunity in the future, as long as you are not too embarrassed, can you help me take care of her?" ”

Following the old man's gaze, the man in gray did not refuse, nor did he agree, and replied: "With you, no one can easily bully her." ”

"You're still too young, and you've seen too few lives and deaths."

"Everyone will die, it's just a matter of time, the old decay has already seen through it."

"If you don't come, I might be able to survive for a while."

"But now, it's different."

The tiredness in the old man's expression was not the expression that a creature of his level should have.

It can only be said that the burden on his shoulders is too heavy and crushes his body and mind.

"Yes."

"In the name of the Blood Temple, the temple priest Lan Yi swears."

The man in gray agreed to Elder Yu Fei's request.

For him, it's just a gesture.

He could agree.

The old man on the other side of the stone table, Elder Yu Fei's rare smile widened, as if a boulder had been removed from his heart.

"I believe in you."

……

……

Beyond the Star Array.

The brilliance of the moon flame never stopped for a moment, from near to far, swaying its light and heat.

It is the heart of this star field, and it is the source of all life forces here.

Looking up at the creatures of this Moon Yan Taiheng, they naturally can't imagine the scene above Taiheng.

All they can do is look up

Or perhaps, more fanatical worship.
