Dreams and fists shatter the sky

Chapter 303: Who is Human and Who is a Ghost

Mu Tianyi's audacity to speak so boldly about the Divine Realm was clear. Since the Divine Realm took control of the heavens, it had become like an out-of-control rocket, soaring higher and higher. The passengers on this rocket were like drugged madmen, only concerned with reaching the pinnacle and ignoring the potential consequences.

Three thousand years ago, an unwelcome guest damaged the rocket's engine. The passengers realized with horror that not only had the rocket slowed down, but it seemed it might also be about to stall. The consequences of stalling? The rocket would begin to plummet endlessly unless they could repair the engine!

Mu Tianyi was not the one to fix the engine, but he had the ability to slow the descent of the rocket, or even stop it entirely. This was crucial for the passengers on the rocket. Only he could do this.

The Holy Divine Master didn't understand why his mentors were so indulgent towards Mu Tianyi, even daring to disregard the face of the Seers. Indulgence? No! It was ability! In the vast Divine Realm, only Mu Tianyi had the capacity to cushion the fall. Even though the heavenly beings knew Mu Tianyi's principles were contrary to theirs, the urgent situation meant that they would accept anyone who could help, regardless of their ideology.

At this moment, Mu Tianyi stood before the Ancestral God Hall, looking down at the mortal realm with a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

In a few days, a brutal and bloody battle with the human race was inevitable. The mastermind on the human side was Zhuge Tianming. The Divine Realm's chess player was Mu Tianyi. In terms of wisdom and strategy, he could not match Zhuge Tianming. But in terms of power, no one in the world could rival him. The battle would be brutal and bloody, and the ultimate prize was a grand destiny that could alter the fate of an entire realm.

Winning would momentarily halt the Divine Realm's decline. Losing meant facing a reality of seeking authenticity amidst falsehood. However, whether things would come to that depended on Ye An. If Ye An couldn't win the fifth round, victory for the Divine Realm could be declared immediately. Mu Tianyi was well aware of Ye An's strength and the limits of the Underworld King. On the surface, it was a 30-70 split: Ye An had 30, and the Underworld King had 70.

But since Zhuge Tianming dared to make such a bold move, Ye An must have more than 80% confidence in winning, though no one knew where this confidence came from.

At this time, the Demon Realm, Ancient Shura Realm, Demon Realm, and Ghost Realm were holding high-level meetings. If the Human Race truly clashed with the Divine Realm, they could not pretend nothing was happening. The Demon and Ghost Realms discussed whether to firmly support the Divine Realm. If they did, what if the Divine Realm lost? Currently, the situation didn't look favorable for the Divine Realm. But if they stood by and the Divine Realm won, what about future retribution?

The discussions in the Demon Realm and Ancient Shura Realm were similar. But in the end, all four realms came to a unanimous conclusion: wait for the fifth round.

Meanwhile, the protagonist of the fifth round was in his bedroom, intently studying the Black Abyss chessboard. After leaving the monitoring station, he immediately pulled out the chessboard map. The Ghost Sovereign and his five companions had begun their moves!

The five pieces advanced together, leaving Ye An no chance to encircle them. Ye An frowned. How could four pieces encircle five? It seemed almost impossible!

If the enemy's five pieces surged into the King's position, Ye An's four special pieces would be meaningless. No, he had to find a way to eliminate one or two!

The enemy could only enter the King's position through one entrance: the topmost square. Perhaps he could create a time gap. When someone stepped into that square, he could change the colors of the three surrounding squares to encircle them.

But soon, the Ghost Sovereign made Ye An frown with his actions. He was first to stand in the topmost square. However, Ye An could not encircle him because there were black enemy pieces on both sides of the Ghost Sovereign's square. Ye An couldn't change squares that were already occupied!

The next second, the Ghost Sovereign stepped into the King's position. The Black Demon King immediately moved to the square the Ghost Sovereign had just vacated, and the previously adjacent teammates advanced as well.

The five-square line formation became a four-square line. Ye An's attention was sharply focused on the map changes. The four squares became three. Two enemies had already stepped into the King's position. The three squares became two. The third enemy entered the King's position.

At this moment, Ye An moved his fingers. Now, the remaining two enemies were in the top and right adjacent squares. Ye An immediately changed the colors of the left and top squares.

After the fourth enemy stepped into the King's position, the fifth enemy stood alone at the entrance square. Now was the moment!

With no one standing on the top, left, or right squares, Ye An had previously changed the left and top squares. He now pointed to the right. Along with the King's square itself, four squares surrounded the last enemy left by the Ghost Sovereign.

Annihilation!

A cold, emotionless voice echoed in the ears of all competitors in the Black Abyss chessboard. "Black side player Lazer, eliminated!"

At the same time, in the King's position, the Ghost Sovereign, Black Demon King, and two other figures—one a divine healer named Karma Ray—heard the elimination of Lazer. Karma Ray turned sharply to the square behind him. Hadn't he just walked from that square? Why had it suddenly become a dead zone?

He looked at the Light Enforcer, Black Demon King, and Ghost Sovereign. The three appeared unperturbed, as if they had anticipated this outcome. Karma Ray's heart skipped a beat, realizing the crucial issue: Lazer must have been eliminated by Ye An's special privileges!

Since the fourth round was over and Lazer had neither died nor been eliminated, it meant Ye An had won all four rounds of the Bright Sword Conference. Karma Ray was unaware of this news, but the Ghost Sovereign and others certainly knew. They had sent Lazer in last because the last person would undoubtedly be eliminated!

The Ghost Sovereign glanced at Karma Ray and asked lightly, "Do you feel pain for your comrade's sacrifice?"

"He will not have died in vain."

The next moment, he raised his right hand, and the Gate of Hell appeared behind him. The undead form of Lazer emerged, his eyes devoid of emotion. This scene struck Karma Ray like a thunderbolt. Did it mean that even if he died, they wouldn't care? They could still fight with the undead form!

On the other side, Zhao Huaiyi and his five companions watched everything unfold over the minutes with confident expressions. Ye An was still victorious. He had already dealt with one of their enemies. Now, it was five against four. If they couldn't capture the King's position, they might as well crash headlong into it!

Across the field, the Ghost Sovereign smiled, not understanding the confidence of the five opponents. Until the next second, the most inconspicuous and unheard-of name—Qi Wuguang—raised his pale hand, and invisible soul power emerged from his palm.

The Ghost Sovereign's expression changed slightly as he clearly felt the opposing dead-faced player competing for control over the undead!

Who is human? Who is a ghost?
