What did he hear?!

Among the Four Demons, Yan, who possessed the highest killing power, was actually willing to let Tai Yi devour him?

Did he hear wrong, or has the world gone mad?!

Tai Yi said in a deep voice, "Taoist Friend, rest assured. Your heart's desire, I have long kept in mind. After Enlightenment, all will be as you wish!"

Yan said lightly, "Let's hope so."

In Qinglian's incredulous gaze, Tai Yi made a move and lifted the entire Sealing Land with one hand!

Such Dao Power in the True Saint Domain is nearly Invincible!

On this day, Tai Yi devoured Yan.

Qinglian's expression was a mix of shock and anger. He attempted to make a move but was stopped by Ji Tianxing.

In Ji Tianxing's eyes, countless intersecting lines seemed to form a chessboard encompassing everything.

At this moment, the chessboard was filled with chess pieces.

"What are you thinking?!" Qinglian angrily asked.

Letting Tai Yi devour Yan, if he truly achieves Dao, can the Federation benefit? Or has Tai Yi already formed an alliance with Ji Tianxing, and they will remain unrelated from now on?

"Today, do the Four Demons really matter anymore?" Ji Tianxing countered, "In this world, there are never eternal enemies."

He reached forward as if into the omnipresent Spirit Ocean, about to say something but was suddenly inspired, glancing at a certain Void.

In this direction, it seemed someone was looking at him from across endless space-time, expressionless.

"...Donghuang."

Ji Tianxing sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that person could hear.

"The Federation needs a Transcender of its own to face the forthcoming disasters."

"And this person will not be you, will not be Shitian, will not be me, but can only be..."

"Ji Linyuan!"

Ji Tianxing loved playing chess all his life.

And within the chess game, there was a move completely defying chess logic, called [Illogical Move], essentially a step that violated the normal progression of chess principles.

This move often aligns with the concepts of "getting nowhere," "backfiring," and "taking a different path."

What Ji Tianxing loved most wasn't the naturally clever move, but this so-called [Illogical Move], seemingly off the path of any chess principle, taking a divergent path, yet somehow outside of all correctness...

A slim chance for life?

At this moment, all doubts seemed answered—throughout Ji Tianxing's chess game, the chosen people were never himself nor Ji Jingqiu.

Just like his move for himself in this game...

[Illogical Move]

Yet someone was unsatisfied with this answer.

In the Void, someone laughed silently, showing mockery, as if asking:

[Is it Ji Linyuan who was devoured by Tai Yi?]

Ji Tianxing calmly said:

"From beginning to end, they have always been one person."

"Merely split between God and human."

"Thus their competition is utterly unaffected by the Heavenly Limit imposed by realm and Dao Power. Tai Yi's day of proving Dao will be the day Tai Yi perishes."

"What gives me confidence?"

"Because Ji Linyuan has already seen the Other Shore!"

"From Ji Jingqiu!"

"He is the third being in this world, following you and Shitian, to see the Other Shore! Only he has the potential in this era to break through the limits of Heaven and Earth, achieving Transcendence!"

"And Ji Jingqiu?"

Upon uttering this name, Ji Tianxing suddenly fell silent, only speaking softly after a long pause:

"...He will never see the Other Shore again."

In the dim Void, something flowed, breaking through the darkness and reaching the Four Guardian Stars above.

As if someone heard a colossal joke from a friend, wishing to share it with other close friends.

Afterward.

Someone clasped their hands together, showing compassion, chanting a Buddhist hymn:

Pfui, ominous!

Ji Tianxing smiled bitterly, slowly closing his eyes.

I know you have always wanted to ask me one question, that is, where Ji Jingqiu came from.

In this world, all beings

Must cross from This Shore to the Other Shore.

But paradoxically...

Someone crosses from the Other Shore to This Shore.
