Chapter 1166: One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Four · "TE·Seal with Me (3)"

"Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The light fell on the chessboard, and eight people appeared in the second row of the chessboard.

Changge from E2 stood in front of Su Mingan. This was the first time that Changge appeared in front of Su Mingan in a physical form. In the past, Changge always possessed Su Mingan as a night player.

Su Mingan clearly saw Changge's back, with short black hair and a slender figure. Changge was shivering against the chess piece, probably because he had been freezing for eight or nine days and still hadn't recovered.

"Changge!" Su Mingan shouted, intending to see Changge's appearance.

But Changge refused to look back. The other seven people all looked at him, but the distance was too far and they couldn't see Changge's face clearly.

All I could hear was Changge's trembling voice:
"The real chill in your heart is not about making a scene..."

……

[All chess pieces of both sides have been put on the field. ]

【Finally, please invite the escorts of both parties to come on stage. 】

……

A red light flashed, and Noel appeared beside Su Mingan.

But Noel can only stand in the grid of E1 and cannot move freely. The role of the companion should be similar to "a military advisor who provides advice to the king", commonly known as "a bystander who gives advice to the old man playing chess in the park", and is not a chess piece.

But...who is the person accompanying Dieying?

"This guy probably has no friends." Noel pointed at Dieying from a distance and said, "I see that Dieying's eight pawns don't have any generals appointed, and probably don't have any companions."

Su Mingan gazed into the distance.

At this time, a blue light bloomed in the distance, and Dieying's companion came on the stage - a shadowy figure standing beside Dieying, wearing a veil.

"It turns out that Dieying has friends." Noel was shocked.

"Is there really such a thing..." Su Mingan always thought that Dieying was a lonely person, otherwise he would not have floated in the starry sky for a thousand years.

Noel leaned back on the throne and looked at the beautiful starry sky around him.

The sky is bright, the stars are dazzling, and the chessboard with the sky as the background is floating in the air. Billions of creatures are looking up at it. People are holding their hands over their hearts nervously and excitedly. One end of the silk thread is connected to their hearts, and the other end is connected to the chess piece in the sky.

Seven billion silk threads shot straight into the sky, like a grand and brilliant meteor shower. Everyone knew that their fate was closely linked to this chess game of civilization.

Even the eight people in front of Su Mingan, their hearts were connected to their respective pawn chess pieces.

The cause and effect of this chess game involves everyone, and no one can stay out of it.

……

[Please prepare for your move. ]

[Please note that please do not play chess with your inherent thinking. This chessboard is actually a causal confrontation between the civilization of the old world and the higher-dimensional beings, not a real chess game. This causal confrontation is only presented in a game-like form, and the rules of chess may not apply.]

[The victory condition is the death of the King. (Note that the actual meaning of "the death of the King" is not the death of the shadow or Su Mingan. For the red side, the failure condition is that the source of the world represented by the "King" chess piece is seized. For the blue side, the failure condition is that the invasion of the Word Spirit represented by the "King" chess piece is dispelled.)]

[Similarly. All chess pieces cannot be truly captured. Both sides can redeem their own chess pieces (protect their own cause and effect) or attack the enemy's chess pieces (disrupt the enemy's cause and effect) at any time by changing the cause and effect (that is, moving chess pieces). Layer by layer, it will eventually lead to a situation where the king and general are dead. ]

[Every move you make actually involves the cause and effect line of the chess pieces, causing a series of butterfly effects and chain reactions in the world. Even just one move can cause a domino effect to fall. Please be careful.]

……

Although the distance between the squares was far, the sound was not affected. Su Mingan heard the voice of Yamada Machiichi at the edge of the chessboard:
"I don't understand. What the hell are you talking about?"

The sound is loud and powerful.

The next second, Yamada Machiichi immediately covered his mouth: "Damn it!"

He thought he was the only one who could hear it, but he didn't expect that once he said it, the sound would be amplified countless times, and even the whole world below could hear it. This was really embarrassing, and it reminded him of the tragic incident when he didn't turn off the microphone during an online class.

The people on the ground stared at Yamada Machi in a daze. They originally thought that only a great man with top wisdom could be chosen by the gods to fight side by side on the chessboard...but what did the general of A2 say?

Due to the oracle's prior request, most people were transporting resources, defending the front line, and dispersing the black fog. Almost no one was idle. Even the residents ran out in their pajamas, crowding the streets.

In Daoya City, Su Luoluo looked at the sky: "Who is this? He can't even understand the rules. He might as well choose me."

Xia Jiawen beside him shook his head: "No, this must be a psychological strategy. The A2 general must have said this on purpose to show the enemy weakness and lure the high-dimensional people to attack him... The Lord God is really far-sighted and knows how to use stillness to control movement..."

"Su Ming'an, I don't think I quite understand either." At this time, Lu Shu's loud voice came from H2. He would not keep silent just to save face. If he didn't understand, he didn't understand. He would tell Su Ming'an in time.

For a moment, the expressions of the people on the ground became extremely interesting. Su Luoluo and Su Wensheng looked at Xia Jiawen and said, "Teacher Xia, is this also a strategy to win over the heart?"

"This... this must be the case!" Xia Jiawen insisted, "Those eight generals are all powerful men at the top of the world, how could they not understand the rules..."

On the chessboard, Su Mingan didn't care whether his companions understood or not. After all, the rules were vague and one would have to learn them after playing.

Noel leaned against the throne, staring at the bright stars in the sky, blue-green fluorescence flowing in his eyes.

After staring for a long time, he suddenly said:
"Su Mingan. We have seen this scene before."

"In the first world."

……

[Under the vast sea of ​​stars, there is a huge black and white chessboard. ]

[Aini, who attracted almost the whole world's attention, stood on the black and white chessboard, at the end of the blue side. He was wearing a gorgeous dark blue robe with a wide fur coat.]

……

Su Mingan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also thought of this. In an instant, a sense of déjà vu came over him.

He raised his voice:

"Dieying, before we start the battle, I want to ask you one thing - does the World Chessboard Level in the First World have anything to do with you?"

"Or... is it related to the higher-dimensional beings? As early as that time, you, or you, had already... targeted me?"

Su Mingan had felt puzzled a long time ago - why would a chessboard of the world under the sea of ​​stars suddenly appear in a post-apocalyptic world, a level that was incompatible with the post-apocalyptic painting style?

Moreover, his overall combat power was only over 200 at that time, but he had to face the Aini team with a combat power of 800. From a fairness perspective, it was not right, and it did not seem like a normal matching mechanism.

It’s like... some kind of “existence” intervened.

Now, a very similar scene appeared before his eyes. Although the mechanisms and rules were very different, it was the same starry sea, the same chessboard, and the same confrontation between the red and blue sides. Just like it was just an unfinished product back then, but now it was a mature product that had been tested several times and was placed in front of him.

…In the first world, when he was on the chessboard, did he look up?

If he had looked up at that time - would he have seen a profound glimpse of a distant existence above the sea of ​​stars?
Dieying blinked and smiled. He put his finger to his lips, as if to comfort, but also as if to mock:
"……you guess?"

Su Mingan's eyelashes trembled.

…That’s it.

He pressed his palm against his chest to calm his heartbeat. He felt as if he was in a huge loop. As long as he pulled out a little thread, he would definitely find the corresponding end, no matter how long it took or how far away they were. This feeling... was very exciting, but also very scary.

Have you been keeping an eye on him since then?

He lowered his eyelids, vaguely aware of a horrible thing, but he dared not touch it or expose it. As his heartbeat gradually calmed down, he buried it deeper and deeper.

……

[The countdown begins below. ]

[When the countdown ends, both parties please start playing chess. ]

……

At this time, Su Mingan felt his right hand getting hot.

The white perfect pass mark slowly raised his right hand, as if he was taking an oath. Billions of silk threads floated around him at this moment, as if they were advancing and retreating with him, sharing his fate.

Below him, everyone on the ground raised their heads high, and the silk threads on their chests began to heat up, as if telling them that the final moment had arrived.

The overlapping shadow on the other side also raised his hand, and a white light danced in his palm - this should be all the power he had accumulated over the past thousand years, and all the civilized resources he was ready to invest in the new world.

His expression was also solemn.

——Both sides risked everything.

Bet on the comrades around you, all the people behind you, and the life and future of civilization.

The outcome of a thousand-year plan and the joys and sorrows of billions of lives are at stake.

The old world that has already matured is at stake. The new world that has not yet taken shape is at stake.

Bet on each other's wisdom, force and luck.

……

【ten,】

【Nine,】

【eight,】

【…】

Countdown to war.

Dieying and Su Mingan did not move, just looked at each other tacitly.

"...I like...sunflowers very much." Dieying said suddenly.

"Oh." Su Mingan treated it as pre-war trash talk so as not to disrupt the morale of the troops.

……

【five,】

【Four,】

【three,】

……

"Next time, let's go and see the sunflowers all over the mountains." Dieying laughed softly, and it was unclear whether it was a sincere invitation or a pre-war instigation.

"No." Su Ming'an said calmly. No matter what, he would not go to see it with Dieying.

……

【one,】

【zero. 】

[Both sides begin to make moves.]

……

“Swish, swish, swish—!”

At this moment,

It was as if reality and dreams suddenly intertwined, the silk threads hung upside down, and countless scenes floated high in the sky.

Different timelines, different world lines. 72 years of the Tianshidai, 102 years of the Tianshidai, 0 years of the Old Days, 512 years of the Old Days, 829 years of the Old Days... It was as if thousands of timelines were blooming and overlapping at the same time.

"C2, move forward two squares!" Su Mingan shouted the order.

Su Mingan had never experienced this kind of decisive battle mode, and even the gods had never taught him. This was the way Dieying chose to play. According to common sense, it should be that Su Mingan unlocked Jiuyou on the ground, gathered the three elements to become a god, and Dieying invaded the old world and killed humans until the ideal country was established and Dieying was driven away - this was the normal process.

But in this case, both sides will suffer heavy losses.

Die Ying intervened and came up with this way of fighting. I don't know if it was a long-planned plan or a sudden idea. But it just changed the form of the fight, and it shouldn't make much difference. It's just that Su Mingan needs to adapt to how to play chess.

His first move should have been to move the C1 elephant representing the "Millennium Plan" and have the soldiers enter the Netherworld to bring General Qin's life hard drive up. But he had a vague feeling that Die Ying must have a countermeasure.

——Since Dieying has predicted what Su Mingan’s first move will be and will block the causal line, Su Mingan cannot do as He wishes.

So, Su Mingan moved C2 first. The small soldiers represent a certain type of human beings, such as ancient martial arts families, believers, teachers, farmers... They will not suddenly involve the overall situation from a very high macro perspective.

The first row is full of big pieces, and any movement will affect the overall situation and produce a series of unknown chain reactions. The second row is full of small soldiers, and their movements are from shallow to deep, and are linked together.

At the same time, among the eight people, Su Mingan chose Su Lin, who was at C2, because he felt more at ease. Su Mingan didn't know whether the command "move forward two squares" would be effective, whether it would really move two squares on the chessboard, or how Su Lin would affect the world situation. But now he could only take one step at a time.

...If it doesn't work, just regret and start over. Su Ming'an doesn't have much chess character. If he is a bad chess player, then he can go back and start over as many times as he wants. With Kong Ming, the think tank, by his side, there will always be a chance.

only……

Su Mingan looked up.

The young man with blond-black hair sat on a dark blue throne, the seat of which was covered with sunflowers. The military advisor stood quietly behind the throne, his face unclear.

He seemed to be smiling.

It was freezing cold.
