On the tattered wooden table, a simple chessboard suddenly appeared, with black and white pieces placed on both sides.
Gu Shurong's life was extremely short, a hundred years passed by in a hurry. However, his life was extremely glorious and dazzling, even the many great emperors in the ages could not compare with it.
He single-handedly opened up the line of Confucianism and Taoism, ushering in a hundred years of peace for the world.
"please."
Gu Shurong pointed to the chessboard on the table with a gentle manner.
Xu Changge looked deeply at Gu Shurong, without saying a word, he grabbed the white piece placed beside him and placed it in the center of the chessboard.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Shurong took the black stone and landed it on the chessboard.
The two did not fight to the death, but used this game of chess to determine the winner.
The Law of Time summoned the traces of Gu Shurong's will, in fact, it wanted to take advantage of a loophole. Because Gu Shurong had no cultivation base, the Law of Time summoned Gu Shurong's strongest state in order to suppress Xu Changge and make Xu Changge stop.
this.
Regardless of Gu Shurong's lack of cultivation, if he really wanted to suppress Xu Changge, who had cultivated in Pohuang Realm, it would be easy. This is not an exaggeration, but a fact.
In the past, the ancestor dragon Xue Changhai and the swordsman Zhuo Beilin both fought against Xu Changge at the same level and were defeated.
Gu Shurong's situation is very special. Since he has never reached any level of cultivation throughout his life, the law of time has carved the traces of his strongest period, and the purpose is obvious.
A truly strong man will not let his so-called cultivation limit his strength. Gu Shurong once changed the order of the nine states in the world as a mortal. Over the past hundred years, there have been very few tragic racial wars, and hundreds of millions of living beings live and work in peace and contentment.
Gu Shurong's understanding of the great road has reached an indescribable level.
As for why Gu Shurong could not live a long life, the reasons are very complicated. Before he died, he once said: "The lamp can be extinguished, but the Tao will last forever."
A few hours later, there were dozens of chess pieces on the chessboard.
It seems like this is an ordinary chessboard, but in fact there is something else inside. Whenever Xu Changge wants to drop a piece, he needs to face an extremely powerful law. Only by breaking through the door of the law can the chess piece be dropped.
checkerboard.
Is he leading the way for me?
At first, Xu Changge didn't understand why Gu Shurong wanted to play chess with him, but now he gradually understood.
"Why?"
After the move, Xu Changge looked at Gu Shurong with complicated eyes.
"In this life, whether before my death or after my death, I will not become a pawn of heaven." It's not that Gu Shurong can't live a long life. With his level of understanding of the ten thousand ways, there are many ways to live for tens of thousands of years.
Even further.
However, Gu Shurong did not seek immortality, but chose a moment of youth. His answer is - he is willing to sacrifice his life to win the world.
clatter!
As one of Gu Shurong's chess pieces fell, Xu Changge was guided forward, and the confusion in front of him slowly dissipated, allowing him to see clearly what lay ahead on the path of Chaos Sword Dao.
Xu Changge was very surprised. If he followed his original trajectory, it would definitely take a longer time to see the scenery in the distance.
However, having Gu Shurong's guidance relieved Xu Changge's pressure.
On the surface, Xu Changge and Gu Shurong are having a chessboard battle, but in reality they are completely different.
As Gu Shurong said, even after his death, he cannot be controlled by the law of the great road.
The Law of Time wanted to suppress Xu Changge with the help of Gu Shurong, but Gu Shurong would not let the Law of Time do what he wanted.
He wants to prove to heaven and all living beings that he is not a chess piece, but a chess player who can compete with heaven and earth.
"Boom!"
Gu Shurong's behavior seemed to have attracted the attention of the Law of Time, and a thunder pierced the sky as a warning.
Gu Shurong didn't care about this and continued to do what he wanted to do.
"If you continue like this, you may suffer backlash."
Xu Changge said bluntly.
"Do you think I care about this?"
Gu Shurong asked back, with a hint of a vague smile on his lips.
Hearing this, Xu Changge was startled, then smiled.
During his lifetime, Gu Shurong was not afraid of the law of heaven, and dared to wrestle with the law of heaven, creating a century of peace and prosperity. Now that he has died, there is no trace of time, and it is even less likely that he has any fear of the law of the great road.
"Actually, when I saw you for the first time, I felt a little unsure."
Xu Changge said truthfully.
If he really wanted to compete with Gu Shurong, who had reached the peak level of enlightenment, Xu Changge knew that with his current strength, there was basically no possibility of defeating him.
"Your position is a serious one. With your ability, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you will never fail." Gu Shurong was very serious.
"Why do you trust me so much?"
The relationship between Xu Changge and Gu Shurong is very delicate. They have met once before. They are not friends, at most they are acquaintances.
"We are of the same human race."
This reason is enough.
The Law of Time still refused to change its original behavior after seeing Gu Shurong, and lowered its power of judgment.
A terrifying beam of light fell into this space, instantly destroying everything here, including the stone house and the yard.
In the world that was reduced to ruins, Xu Changge was unscathed because he did not break the rules of Yuchu Tianlu. This terrifying law locked Gu Shurong.
The dazzling light gradually dissipated, and Xu Changge immediately looked for traces of Gu Shurong and found that Gu Shurong had not been erased. He was still sitting in front of him, holding a chess piece in his right hand, looking calm and gentle.
"It's your turn."
After Gu Shurong fell, he looked up at Xu Changge and said softly.
Xu Changge was slightly surprised and immediately regained his composure: "Okay."
The power of the law of time cannot destroy Gu Shurong's traces with one blow.
Since the traces of Gu Shurong's years have appeared in the future, it cannot be easily obliterated. With a mortal body, he can conquer the world for half a day, how can he be an ordinary person.
In the following period of time, the Law of Time condensed a lot of judgment power and headed towards Gu Shurong.
This is a trace of Gu Shurong's peak state. It was awakened by the law of time. Now it is not that easy to erase it.
This kind of behavior really conforms to the old saying - shooting yourself in the foot.
A few days later, Gu Shurong's will could not hold on for long and became increasingly transparent and blurry.
The chessboard was filled with chess pieces, and Xu Changge gained a lot.
Gu Shurong originally wanted to continue playing chess, but due to his physical condition and Xu Changge's cause and effect was too terrifying, he knew that he could no longer guide Xu Changge, so he sighed softly: "Alas! That's the end of it!"
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Xu Changge woke up from his dream, clasped his fists and said.
"You don't have to be polite to honor your position."
Gu Shurong stood up and returned the greeting.
Then, Gu Shurong wanted to use his last bit of strength to do something.
I saw Gu Shurong looking in the direction outside the time and space barrier, seeing a clue, and asked: "Is that the direction of the nine states in the world?"
