The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chaos reigned in the secret room of the Diviners' Alliance.

"We lost!?"

"Lost!!!"

The fact that He Teng could go toe-to-toe with Guan Yuan was already astonishing and shocking enough, but now that the outcome was decided, it naturally filled them with endless surprise. The feeling of their minds being shaken was something these people who believed in the future of the Heavenly Dao had never experienced before.

Throughout history, they were invincible, never experiencing defeat. They coldly observed the course of history, choosing only outcomes advantageous to themselves; human civilization became their fertile ground. And yet, this very group of people, at this moment, witnessed the heavens... fall before the feet of mortals.

Li Chunfeng calmly observed the scene before him, witnessing the chaos. He knew that this organization, which he and Yuan Tiangang had founded, though its original intentions remained unchanged, had become rotten from the inside out. He had once thought of their grand ambitions from a thousand years ago, but now they had created such a parasitic alliance.

How sad.

"How could we possibly lose?! Guan Yuan is such a piece of trash!"

"It's just Go, how could the Heavenly Way possibly lose to such a mortal?!"

"It must be Guan Yuan's misjudgment in using the divination symbols! This has nothing to do with the Way of Heaven!"

"That's right! Heaven will never lose!"

The words "mortal" and "heavenly way" were so repulsive to Li Chunfeng.

He somewhat regretted establishing this special organization independent of the dynasty. Who could have imagined that it would become like this after only two years? Where did it all begin?

He looked up, listening to everything that was rushing in, and sighed inwardly.

The diviner cannot divine for themselves.

He never imagined that when he saw all this again a thousand years later, it would look like this.

"Tian Gang, oh Tian Gang, where are you...?"

"Who awakened you, and where should I look to find them?"

"Do you know that the chaotic, cruel mess we built together has become like this?"

"I am powerless to change this millennia-old poison. If you were here, perhaps there would still be a chance?"

"Well, there are only two and a half years left."

He looked at the light screen again, at the young chess master who seemed to be looking directly at him, and raised an eyebrow.

This civilization has certainly made progress.

I thought the way of Go had completely declined with the appearance of that dog, but unexpectedly, I saw someone who had truly understood the way of Go in modern times.

This person is surprisingly young.

Li Chunfeng was not surprised at all that He Teng won the game just now.

If Guan Yuan were to win using such methods, it would be an insult to the glory of civilization.

"When a great disaster is about to strike, talented people will emerge."

"Where will the world ultimately go after the balance is broken?"

"Jiang Chuan, this is just the beginning."

"Whether it can affect your destiny..."

"It's time for me to start making my moves."

He took a deep breath, and after blinking, his eyes became calm.

Immediately, Li Chunfeng stood up and said, "Quiet."

Inside the room, the chaos subsided instantly.

He walked slowly toward the door, his steps deliberate and his tone calm.
"Jiang Chuan, the clone, must be retrieved."

Inside the room, everyone was extremely surprised.

No one knows exactly what happened. Guan Yuan has failed, and the organization will definitely have complete control over Jiang Chuan and his clone.

How can we retrieve the clone Jiang Chuan?
After confirming that Li Chunfeng had left, a series of quiet murmurs began to circulate in the room.

"Hmph, just because he's in a vegetative state, he thinks he's some kind of Li Chunfeng and starts behaving like that?"

"Even if Li Chunfeng himself were to return, this organization would no longer be what it was a thousand years ago. What right does he have to issue orders?!"

"Shut up! Don't forget that person's strength!"

"But how exactly do we bring back the clone Jiang Chuan?"

"..."

Suddenly, everyone's gaze fell on the last row of seats where Li Chunfeng had left, where a talisman had been left behind.

"Cause and effect reversed!?"

"That gentleman really did have a backup plan!!"

……

At the entrance of the base.

He Teng's ability to change the rules and forcefully drag the game into a life-or-death situation has already determined the winner.

Since He Teng won, Guan Yuan should be the one to die.

At this moment, the boundless and vast spiritual power transformed into the most powerful force in the world.

Jiang Chuan could feel the greatness of this power.

The rules are irresistible, and the outcome is already predetermined.

Guan Yuan stared wide-eyed at the massive waves sweeping towards him in terror. For a moment, even the thought of resisting was extinguished by the overwhelming power.

ended.

Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart continued to pound rapidly.

The scenes from that game of chess were still flashing through his mind, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

In Jiang Chuan's eyes, the death of that middle-aged man was already a settled matter.

However, right there, he heard He Teng suddenly utter a sound of doubt.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chuan was stunned. The image of the chess game in his mind shattered instantly. He immediately turned to look at the middle-aged man on the other side of the chessboard, seeing him standing motionless. But as his gaze swept over him, he noticed that what had changed was the immense power that was about to crush the middle-aged man?

The power that was about to annihilate the body of the powerful figure from the Diviner Alliance now seems to have changed its target?
"how……"

Jiang Chuan was also taken aback.

That astonishing power instantly soared into the sky, heading straight for the southern horizon and transforming into a streak of light.

Jiang Chuan immediately looked at He Teng, only to see that He Teng had already frowned.

His tone carried a hint of anger: "You actually changed the cause and effect... making someone else die in your place!?"

"I thought even shameless scoundrels like you wouldn't stoop to using such a tactic, but it's truly unexpected."

"Your disgusting and filthy behavior far exceeds my imagination!"

He flew into a rage, and the hem of his robe, which had been calm, began to shake violently again in that instant!

You will die tonight!

"Whether you accept it or not, it will definitely happen!"

Cause and effect have been replaced...

Jiang Chuan's heart skipped a beat. It turned out the cause and effect had been replaced? He instantly thought of the fortune teller named Xu Linlin.

The rules have already determined death; the only rule that can change the outcome of death is another rule.

Meanwhile, in a prison far away... a death row inmate's body is disintegrating inch by inch.

……

Chess master He Teng clenched his fist, and a light seemed to flash from the horizon.

Jiang Chuan was originally absorbed in the game of chess, but at this moment he suddenly remembered that when this game had just begun, He Teng was not only good at chess, but his mental strength was also superb!
At this moment, the middle-aged man, Guan Yuan, seemed to have just come to his senses. Looking at He Teng's impending thunderous attack, he stopped thinking and immediately looked at the clone Jiang Chuan behind him. The chess game had already shattered Guan Yuan's Dao heart; he was willing to die for righteousness, but now someone could actually defeat the Heavenly Dao… This fact completely extinguished any thought of resistance.

He just wants to leave quickly, and of course, he wants to take his target with him.

Jiang Chuan, a clone.

He had just escaped a calamity, but his mental strength was not greatly depleted. The mental strength he unleashed at this moment was quite powerful. He immediately reached out, transforming his hand into a giant palm, and grabbed at the clone Jiang Chuan.

He Teng, of course, was unwilling.

He focused his mental energy and unleashed a powerful punch at Guan Yuan.

In Jiang Chuan's view, this punch was thrown extremely slowly, but at the same time it seemed to have formed some kind of rule... Although slow, this punch was bound to hit!

Within the chaotic vision, countless possibilities arose, and each one landed on Guan Yuan.

When that punch was thrown from front to back, He Teng's figure... disappeared from the spot.
Boom!

A loud booming sound was heard.

Jiang Chuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw He Teng's figure already in front of Guan Yuan, his fist hitting Guan Yuan hard in the chest!
Jiang Chuan was deeply shocked...

It's the rules again!?
Although he couldn't understand it, he could vaguely sense that irresistible force.

But a burst of intense light erupted from Guan Yuan's chest, and dense spiritual energy formed shields that blocked his path. Although these shields shattered one after another when the fist appeared, Guan Yuan was about to achieve his goal.

His hand had already grasped the clone Jiang Chuan. At the same time, Jiang Chuan also began to move.

All this training over the past period seems to have been for this very moment!
His spatial abilities activated instantly, extending the path of the giant hand formed by his spiritual energy in a matter of moments.

Guan Yuan's expression changed, and he launched an attack on Jiang Chuan with his scattered spiritual power, while Jiang Chuan sprinted towards his clone.

"Come here! Come over here!"

"If you have any questions, I'll give you the answers you want!"

"Reliable!"

Jiang Chuan emphasized this point.

Seeing that the clone was about to flee to Jiang Chuan'er, Guan Yuan fell into hysteria. He seemed to have given up everything and released his mental sea without any regard for anything else.

"what!!!"

Along with the fierce roar, a vast blue ocean appeared.

Without a doubt, Guan Yuan, who was able to fight He Teng and stand here, also possessed the strength of a top-tier warrior. When his spiritual sea was fully released, it would be a devastating blow to both Jiang Chuan and this disguised Ministry of War camp.

That was an unstoppable storm.

The first thing to appear was a huge shockwave that rippled outwards from Guan Yuan's center in an instant.

Jiang Chuan was unable to resist, or even stand up. In an instant, he was swept away by the frenzied force, then stopped by a mental force, and fell heavily to the ground.

Immediately following, a strange blue ocean unfolded under the night sky, a scene of extraordinary beauty and magnificence.

In an instant, the camp and tents crumbled and crumbled into pieces. Everything within a radius of three hundred meters was annihilated.

The overwhelming power was irresistible, like starlight descending, like a sea of ​​stars crashing onto land, destroying everything in its path. Even weeds, concrete, and soil were cracked apart layer by layer. The scene was like the end of the world, terrifying to the extreme.

Even with such terrifying circumstances, Jiang Chuan still did not die.

Because He Teng lowered his defenses in that instant.

Jiang Chuan, the soldiers, and the clone Jiang Chuan were all protected.

Even so, almost everyone fainted at that moment.

Jiang Chuan possessed formidable mental strength. Although he did not faint, he felt as if his mental sea had suffered a severe blow, and a headache surged from the depths of his soul, causing him immense pain.

He Teng was extremely close to Guan Yuan, so he was naturally the one who was most affected. However, his expression did not change, and his "sure-to-hit" fist continued to approach Guan Yuan's chest.

Click, click...

The mental energy shield in front of Guan Yuan's chest emitted a strange cracking sound.

When spiritual energy is solidified to such a state, it can even make a sound when it breaks.
In a daze, Jiang Chuan suddenly thought of these things. Then he looked at his unconscious clone and subconsciously used spatial techniques again. This was a method he had theoretically envisioned, and it seemed perfect for this situation. In any case, he had to do what he had to do.

Spatial power was gathering, and in a daze, Jiang Chuan activated the spatial power usage method he had conceived for a long time.

He raised his hand, opened his palm towards the clone himself, and then clenched it tightly!
……

Kaka...kaka...

Guan Yuan saw that the spiritual power in front of his chest was about to shatter, but he didn't care anymore. The blue ocean that represented all his spiritual power generated huge waves!
And at the center of this wave is the clone Jiang Chuan!
Click! !
Guan Yuan's mental energy shattered, and He Teng's mental energy, which was protecting the clone Jiang Chuan, also exploded at the same time.

The fist slammed into Guan Yuan's chest, a punch powerful enough to pierce his heart!
However, He Teng's expression was somewhat surprised. The punch landed, but it seemed to have hit the wrong target.
In that prison, another death row inmate died in his sleep with a broken heart.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guan Yuan used his last bit of strength to bring the clone Jiang Chuan's body to his side.

He activated the spell, and the two figures vanished instantly.

The blue ocean instantly collapsed.

He Teng lowered his arm and frowned.

He turned to look at Jiang Chuan, who had collapsed on the spot, and sighed as he gazed at the devastated Ministry of War camp.

"Even the base's entrances and exits have been destroyed..."

"He got away?"

"It's alright, the spiritual sea is already empty, this is not something that cause and effect can reverse..."

"He won't live long."

"..."

"Unfortunately, he took the clone with him."

A night breeze swept in, lifting the tattered bedsheet left behind by the clone Jiang Chuan from the ground.

He Teng's gaze followed the tattered bed sheet across the night sky and then fell on Jiang Chuan, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

He sighed, and his figure appeared beside Jiang Chuan the next moment.

Just as he was bending down, his body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes changed abruptly.

But this stiffness only lasted for a moment.

He smiled, then hoisted the unconscious body onto his shoulder and walked step by step toward the base entrance.

……

Many soldiers in the camp awoke from their unconsciousness and were shocked to find themselves in this unfamiliar ruin.

……

Guan Yuan appeared in a room thousands of miles away, carrying the unconscious clone Jiang Chuan.

Although the Earth Escape Talisman is precious, and each one used reduces the remaining supply, it still proved valuable for this mission and for Guan Yuan himself.

A large crowd gathered around.

"Mission accomplished! The clone has been brought back!"

Guan Yuan gave a miserable smile, and as his lips curled up, blood gushed from his seven orifices.

"You did a great job, Guan Yuan!"

"The mission was ultimately accomplished!"

But Guan Yuan did not show any joy at completing the mission. He asked in an extremely weak voice:
"What we...did..."

"Is it...right?"

At this moment, he was barely breathing and his voice was weak.

But the atmosphere in the room was too lively.

Upon hearing his voice, the person closest to him asked, "What!?"

Guan Yuan was taken aback, then seemed to realize something.

His smile shifted from tragic to somewhat relieved. Then his head slumped, and he breathed his last.

He was spared death twice, but he would still die eventually.

The lively atmosphere inside the room gradually subsided.

They looked at the dead Guan Yuan with different expressions in their eyes.

Sympathy, pity, sorrow... and some even scorn.

Guan Yuan completed the mission, but he didn't win after all; he lost the game of chess.

There was no time to mourn Guan Yuan.

At that moment, the clone also slowly woke up.

He looked at everything before him, a look of astonishment in his eyes.

The members of the Diviner Alliance gathered around and said:
“We are a group of fortune tellers. You are safe here.”

"Don't be afraid, we are all good people."

The clone's expression changed, and he spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I..."

He wanted to say "I'm afraid of you," but he stopped himself when the words were on the tip of his tongue.

Jiang Chuan never expected this...

He was taken back to the headquarters of the Diviner Alliance as a clone.

How can it be?

In that instant, his brain raced, and he quickly recalled many things.

The spatial ability I activated was indeed successful.

He did indeed transfer his clone to another location...

But it wasn't entirely successful.

Because I was transferred there.

Perhaps because he had been thrown out at that moment, he was now covered in dirt, and since everyone looks the same, these people didn't notice the difference in his clothing...

That being the case...

Why not turn the tables on them?

He posed a question to the members of the Diviners' Alliance:

"Who am I?" (End of Chapter)
