Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 96 The Worst Reason I Can Think of
Tang Zheng made a gesture to stop him.
Tang Xiaotang understood immediately, and the two of them restrained their star power and tiptoed to both sides of the door.
The name Qin Xi is familiar to every child in Xingyao Continent. The story of "Purple Star Zen Chess" is almost the first fairy tale every child has heard since childhood.
Qin Xi is the name of the first Lord of Ziwei Star.
Ziwei is the star in the center, having the right time, right place and right people. If the methods of other star masters to reach the top are still the comprehension of power, then the ascent of Ziwei star master basically belongs to the realm of philosophy. Ziwei star master cannot reach the top casually just by possessing Ziwei star power. To reach the position of star master, he needs opportunities that other star masters may not even imagine.
Although no one had ever told Tang Zheng the fairy tale of the Xingyao Continent, he had met Qin Xi in person in the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower!
The "Seal of Pardon" left in his body by Qin Xi almost made it impossible for him to fight against any of the Star-Favored Ones of the Ziwei Main Star. But at the same time, the "Star Lord Origin" released by Qin Xi in the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower to save him saved his life again when he was on the verge of death after coming out of the Dream Mirage Demon Realm.
It can be said that Tang Zheng didn't know what attitude he should have towards Qin Xi.
From the mist-shrouded high gate of Qianqiong Palace , a voice was heard again...
"Qin Xi, everything you just said is nothing more than a denial of the fairy tale of Xingyao Continent for tens of millions of years - Ziwei Zen Chess. But fairy tales are just fairy tales, how can I, as an adult, take them seriously?" Fang Junji's voice was slightly smiling, and finally lost the hollowness that Tang Zheng had just seen. "Since you said that Ziwei Star Lord can't really bow his head, otherwise he would never be able to ascend to the top of the Star Lord, then... why should I bow my head to you? Just because you want to open the Heavenly Doctor Secret Realm and exterminate the demon race? But that's your idea... What does it have to do with me!"
What does it have to do with me!
Tang Zheng could sense from the very beginning that Fang Junji never wanted to stop at the position of Star Lord.
He probably knows his identity and his inheritance from previous generations.
However, the Lord of Ziwei Star is the only way for him to embark on the path to becoming the Purple Gold Emperor.
Just a stepping stone!
Although Fang Junji is currently at the initial five-star level, he has already decided in his mindset that if he fights with the first generation Purple Star Lord in the future, he will probably have a greater chance of winning.
"My idea really has nothing to do with you, but even though it has nothing to do with you, do you have the ability to withdraw?" Qin Xi's sneer echoed in Qianqiong Palace, "If you are given another twenty years, you may have the right to refuse. But now, all my explanations to you are just my respect for the other party's descendant of Jun Lin."
Crash...
The gate of Qianqiong Palace opened suddenly.
The walls of the entire Qianqiong Palace were changing piece by piece. It was clearly a scene of a landslide and the earth cracking, but it was as silent as a stream. The bluish-white bricks and stones and the black and white tiles quickly changed into lines, crisscrossing each other, and mountains and rivers appeared and disappeared on these criss-crossing lines.
Tang Zheng was stunned.
Qianqiong Palace now looks like a game editor!
Those crisscrossing lines are like the map ruler edited in the computer, and the mountains and rivers are like things edited bit by bit by the game editor. Every veteran player is familiar with such things, of course, not to mention professional game artists.
Seeing Tang Zheng's strange look, Tang Xiaotang pushed him and said, "Master?"
"Retreat." Tang Zheng was just about to pull Xiaotang back a few steps, but with the eyesight of a game expert, he discovered almost at the same time that even if they used their footwork and martial arts to the extreme, they could not retreat from the extended range of Qianqiong Palace.
So, the two of them soon appeared in front of Qin Xi and Fang Junji.
Fang Junji frowned immediately: "Why are you here?"
Qin Xi looked at Tang Zheng with a half-smile, "We meet again so soon."
Tang Zheng scratched his head: "Ahem... I guess I'm here to look for someone?"
Tang Xiaotang wanted to bang the table.
He traveled thousands of miles across the border, went deep into the northern wilderness, sneaked into the ruins of the Purple Gold Emperor, and came to the ancient magical Qianqiong Palace - but he came to look for someone?
Could there be a more low reason than this?
Qianqiong Palace is still changing...
Slowly, every blade of grass, every tree, every brick and every tile of the palace completely disappeared, and the place where they were had turned into a criss-cross chessboard of nineteen by nineteen.
"..." Fang Junji's expression changed in a very rare way.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath. He seemed to have seen this chess game somewhere before.
boom!
A chessboard appeared in the center of Qianqiong Palace.
The endgame on the chessboard gradually became clear, and Tang Zheng suddenly remembered that this was the game of chess played by Purple Gold Emperor Fang Junlin and Purple Star Lord Qin Xi that he had seen in the star eyes of Purple Star Lord in the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower.
The game of chess was not finished.
At that time, the game was halfway through and the water in the cup in Qin Xi's hand surged up like a tide. He pointed his finger, and the water fell back calmly, but the cup in his hand shattered.
After a moment of silence, Qin Xi said eight words to Fang Junlin, who was standing across the chessboard: "There is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two rulers in a country."
The battle between two people is just a game of chess.
Qin Xi lost.
The fairy tale ends here with "Ziwei Zen Chess", of course, it has also been beautified to promote virtues.
But in fact, Qin Xi's loss does not mean that he truly agrees with Emperor Zi Jin. That's why, after so many years, he still insists on exterminating the demon clan and truly unifying the world.
He is not the Purple Gold Emperor. He is the real Purple Star Lord, and he has his own persistence as the Purple Star Lord.
"Please." Qin Xi asked Fang Junji to sit down.
Fang Junji didn't move.
Although Tang Zheng had no doubt that Fang Junji must be an expert in chess, the fact that Fang Junji did not sit down at this time meant that he knew very well whether he could beat Qin Xi.
However, as Qin Xi said, his politeness towards Fang Jun Ji was merely out of respect for the other party's status as a king.
That's all.
Fang Junji didn't want to sit down and play this game of chess.
Because everyone guessed that this endgame must be the key to unlocking the secret realm of Tianyi.
Fang Junji lost, the secret realm of heavenly medicine was opened, the demon-killing fire reappeared, and the demon clan was destroyed.
The whole process is that simple.
Because of Meng Shen's sneak attack on the "hope of mankind" at the academy's martial arts conference, that group of people were listed on the "blacklist" by the great prophet Tiansu of the demon clan. Humanity's hatred for the demon clan has now reached its peak. As long as the demon-killing fire appears in the world, no one can stop Qin Xi and Xiao Tanzhi from destroying the demon clan!
As for half-demons, to most humans, they are just playthings. Who cares about their life or death?
Cold sweat broke out on Fang Junji's forehead.
Qin Xi does not possess the complete power of a Star Lord, but even such a Qin Xi is not someone Fang Junji can contend against.
"Too much wine can cause the horse to fall..." Tang Zheng suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the chessboard between them, "Is this the Star-Seeking Tower?"
“……”The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
"Yes." Qin Xi didn't particularly care about Tang Zheng's existence and replied with a smile, "No."
"What's going on?"
"The Star-Seeking Tower was not originally the Star-Seeking Place as you know it. It was the battlefield designed by Mr. Ye to help the Purple Gold Emperor reach the top of the final battle. It was also the tomb prepared for our first generation of Star Lords!"
Except Fang Junji, Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaotang were all stunned.
Tang Zheng recalled the first time he met the Sun Star Lord. The Sun Star Lord Huangfu Xuanluo seemed to sigh faintly. Even if he resurrected her, Tang Zheng would have to kill her with his own hands one day?
"The Purple Gold Emperor must obtain the power of all the Star Lords and destroy all the first-generation Star Lords in order to reach the peak of his strength." Qin Xi's voice was flat as he smiled and said, "Mr. Ye's design is perfect. If it really goes according to his plan, none of us would exist, and the remnant consciousness of the Star Lord in the Star-Seeking Tower would exist even less."
"And then?" Tang Zheng didn't have any particularly good ideas at the moment. He could only talk to Qin Xi while recalling where else he had seen this chess game besides the last time he went to the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower.
Fang Junji was about to sit down.
Once he sits down, the game will begin.
But Fang Junji couldn't stop it!
Fang Junji would not be able to hold out for long against a Star Lord with his own strength .
This was the case when Qin Xi "invited" him to sit down. If Qin Xi "forced" him to sit down, I'm afraid the game would have started long ago.
"Because our emperor refused." Qin Xi's eyes did not reveal whether he agreed with Emperor Zi Jin's actions or thought he was stupid. "Because the Star Lord Tian Ji had already calculated that he would die in this banquet. He stood on the top of the tower and remained silent. Fang Junlin saw through the problem and saved all the Star Lords at the last moment."
Tang Xiaotang was stunned by what she heard.
So many thrilling things happened in the ancient times so many years ago.
"However, he rejected Mr. Ye's kindness, which was equivalent to rejecting his chance to reach the top. All the star masters thought that he had given up..." Qin Xi said this, and a trace of subtle respect flashed in his eyes, "Who knew that he only rejected the method of reaching the top, not the result... After all, he used his method to become the strongest person in Xingyao Continent."
He did not kill the Star Lord, did not do nonsense like burning down the building of heroes, and did not follow the so-called cold-blooded logic that one general's success means the sacrifice of thousands of lives.
His gaze was directed towards the vast sky - Shatter all the stars and only respect the main star!
This is the toughness of Emperor Zi Jin, but also his gentleness.
"As the first generation Master of Ziwei Star, I'm a bit unlucky." Tang Zheng looked at the chessboard with a smile on his face. He finally remembered where he had seen the sequel to this endgame.
" Yes." Qin Xi said softly: "Facing an emperor whom I admire and love from the bottom of my heart, but cannot bow to him, it is very unfortunate..."
Suddenly, without Qin Xi's attention, Tang Zheng pushed away Fang Junji, who could no longer hold on, and sat opposite Qin Xi.
"Ah..." Tang Xiaotang screamed.
Tang Zheng looked straight ahead and made a "please" gesture to Qin Xi who was sitting across the chess table.
The endgame continues!
