Chapter 5: The Chess Game of Heaven and Earth

The avenue is invisible, giving birth to the world, the avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon, and the avenue is nameless, nourishing all things for a long time.

Crossing the layers of high heavens, when I reached the crystal heaven, my strength also climbed to the godhead of the nine heavens, and I saw all things in the world more thoroughly, just looking at the broken happy rose, looking at the ethereal supreme heaven, I always felt that something was missing. I don't have enough strength to climb to the highest firmament, but curiosity still drives me forward.

Just when I was at a loss, beautiful petals scattered in the sky, and a holy light spread down, and I saw the stairway to heaven stretching towards me. The familiar feeling reminds me of the day when Ellie chased me to the Three Thousand Worlds, and the shattered space will remain in my memory for a long time.

More radiance was sprinkled in the dim sky, welcoming the fallen angels back into the arms of God. In the highest heavens, a huge head appeared in front of my eyes among the chaotic clouds, and a loud urging sound came from my mouth. I had never seen the old man's face, but I thought it should be Ellie's other form, so I didn't hesitate anymore and stepped up the golden staircase.

Above the highest firmament was a white expanse, and I stood there silently, feeling everything unusual here. First there is a black dot, then a chessboard, and then a chess piece full of black and white pieces. I saw Picia standing by in a dignified manner, waving to me cheerfully, and I suddenly appeared in front of her

"Sit here, sit on the black chess side, you can take the lead. Picia pressed my hands on me, forced me to take my seat, and shoved the chess pieces with the black pieces into my hands.

"I don't know how to play chess. I looked at her inexplicably, and looked at each other for a moment.

"Uh, what? are you sure?" Picia looked at me in surprise, as if she had seen something strange, and suddenly smiled, and exclaimed, "Great, good news for you, dead, fixed!"

"That's good news, are you sure?" Sometimes getting used to Picia's surprise is also a kind of practice.

"Good news, of course, but it's a big tragedy for you. Wahahaha!" Picia disappeared into her laughter.

When the forest is big, there will be any bird, and many times we should learn to adapt to this society, rather than let society adapt to us, which is the most basic law of survival. Although Picia is a lonely person who likes to make trouble, she is very kind at heart, which many people can find, everyone likes her, but almost no one wants to accept her.

The chessboard in front of him is natural, and it comes from Ellie's hand. I touched the top of the chessboard with my palm, and I could feel the vastness of the sea of stars. Reaching out into the chessboard, the nebula will not melt through the ages, and all living beings will return to their roots. Take heaven and earth as the game, and all living beings as the chess.

I don't know how to play chess, but I've seen how others play, so I picked up a sunspot and landed on the stars like them, wanting to see what kind of effect it would have. As soon as the chess pieces were buckled, they suddenly felt that the chessboard was full of anger, and the surrounding scenery changed suddenly, only to see a round of cold moon hanging above the sky, shining in all directions.

My heart was cold for a while, and I knew what kind of situation I had fallen into. I looked around the four fields, only to see that the pavilion where I was was falling between the white mountains, when a black shadow flashed, and every step he took was a hundred meters away, and he came to me in just a few rounds.

With snow-colored hair and sky-blue eyes, she looks like Lin Xinyue without makeup, but her aura is completely different. I know him, he is Icarus, the creator of a thousand waters.

Icarus's eyes were solemn, without any greeting words, he took out a white piece from the chess box, snapped a crisp sound and buckled Tian Yuan's position, and when he looked at me again, his gaze became even colder.

The heavens and the earth changed suddenly, and the sky was empty, and at this time we were also floating above the sea of clouds, and when I looked at Icarus again, he was already sitting peacefully across from me, quietly waiting for my backhand. I looked at him, and he was looking at me like that, and suddenly I had a wonderful feeling, as if he was me, I was him, and the Tianyuan of the chessboard was like a mirror, reflecting our impressions of each other.

"Kami-sama, can I ask you something?" For a long time, I had been thinking about how to meet the creator of Sensui and begging him to let me and Eve see each other again, and now I got my wish.

"Excuse me?" Icarus sat there dignifiedly, his fingers crossed on the table.

"Is Eve's affair the result of your will?" In fact, on the road to the Ten Heavens, my obsession with Eve has gradually been relieved. There are many tragedies in this world, but there is only one real me.

"Neither Eve of the Misty Forest, nor Millie of Sefino is the result of my will. All the oracles and gods within the Thousand Waters are subject to my fate, but my will cannot act on the gods beyond the Thousand Waters, especially Diablo on the Sea of Chaos. "Icarus is still very calm, so people can't see the depth.

"Then why am I playing against you?"

"Because once the wheel of fate is in motion, there is no turning back. From the moment you are created, there are only two trajectories of your destiny, either you will not be eliminated on the journey of fate, or you will defeat fate and go to a higher world. I remind you that I have done countless experiments like yours, all of which ended in failure, you are my last hope for a thousand waters, and you have no choice. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It means that if you can't win, the Thousand Waters World will have to bury you. ”

"But I don't understand, you stubbornly control my fate, and you want me to defeat you and have an independent consciousness, don't you think it's very contradictory?"

"What do you mean?"

That is, two propositions are paradoxes to each other, which does not make sense logically, and it does not work in reality. ”

"Oh, but this is your problem, what does it have to do with us? You are you, I am me, if I can give you independent consciousness, what do I still control your life for, and what do you want to do to overcome fate?"

Icarus's words made me feel like I was empowered. Yes, many times we are used to complaining about the injustice and incomprehension of the people around us, but we ignore that we are the core of the whole incident. How can a person with an independent personality always accommodate others and live according to other people's plans? The meaning of my life is to live an independent self, and what does it matter to me as to how fate arranges my life.

"Defeat fate? Why do we have to overcome fate? Only those who are always constrained by fate will think all day long about overcoming fate, and I dare to assert that there is only one fate for these people, and that is to inevitably compromise with fate. ”

Icarus didn't speak, and after a moment of contemplation there, I looked at me with a feeling of anticipation. He took out a blue hairband and handed it to me, and said to me, "This headband was a gift from Yue'er when I was in Falsinia, and now that we are away from Qianshui, you can give it to Freya, she deserves it." Also, after listening to your words today, I have some insights, and I somewhat understand the meaning of Yue'er's words. ”

"What did she say?"

"There are no gods in the Sea of Chaos!"
