Capítulo 1138: Chapter 1157: Chaos as the Chessboard, All Things as the Pieces
Looking at Ye Xuan taking the bait, Gai Tianyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his hope of escaping had greatly increased.
“To seize the creation of Heaven and Earth, to invade the mysteries of Chaos, to use the Chaos Starry Sky as a chessboard, and to take the Celestial Star Battle as pieces, to command all creation at a glance, this is the Chaos Star Master!” Gai Tianyuan explained urgently.
“Using the Chaotic Universe as a chessboard and all things in Heaven and Earth as pieces, to be the one who controls the game, this is also the Chaos Star Master.” Gai Tianyuan quickly began to explain to Ye Xuan, fearing that he might not understand the terror of the Chaos Star Master.
“What audacity!”
Ye Xuan whispered heavily under his breath.
Using the Chaotic Universe as a chessboard and all things in Heaven and Earth as pieces, this was the height of arrogance. Across the entire Chaos Great World, it was feared that only the Supreme of antiquity dared to make such bold statements.
“Young friend, you should know that only one Supreme can be born in each Epoch, right?” Gai Tianyuan lowered his voice and said.
“What are you trying to say?” Ye Xuan sensed there was more to Gai Tianyuan’s words, stirring his mind slightly, knowing that Gai Tianyuan was about to reveal a great secret.
“What I want to say is simple.”
Gai Tianyuan smiled mysteriously and said, “Although Chaos Star Masters are not widely known, they are an extremely terrifying existence, almost comparable to the Supreme of antiquity.”
“What?”
Ye Xuan’s expression suddenly changed. Although he guessed that the Chaos Star Master was powerful, he hadn’t expected them to be comparable to the Supreme of antiquity, which shocked Ye Xuan immensely.
“It seems young friend is very surprised?”
Gai Tianyuan smiled slightly, and then explained, “The world knows that only one Supreme can be born in each Epoch, but they don’t know that each Epoch also births a Chaos Star Master.”
“And the Chaos Star Master of the Tenth Epoch has not yet been born. Although the Chaos Star Master cannot defeat the Supreme of antiquity, the Supreme cannot deal with the Chaos Star Master either.”
“One Supreme of Chaos, one Star Master per Epoch. With the opening of each Epoch, one Supreme and one Chaos Star Master are born.”
“But the Lord of Spirits is too greedy. He has already become the Supreme of the Tenth Epoch, yet he also wants to become the Chaos Star Master.” Gai Tianyuan scoffed continuously.
At this moment.
Tremendous waves surged inside Ye Xuan, yet his face remained extremely calm, although he was deeply shocked by this secret, a hint of urgency flickered in his eyes.
A legacy almost comparable to the Supreme of antiquity – if Ye Xuan claimed he didn’t want this legacy, even he wouldn’t believe himself. But Ye Xuan also knew that Gai Tianyuan was enticing him to help him escape.
“What do you mean by telling me this?” Ye Xuan faked calmness, not revealing any signs of difference.
“Young friend Ye, if you help me escape, I can help you become the Chaos Star Master.” Gai Tianyuan said solemnly.
“You treat me as a gullible child?”
Ye Xuan laughed, but his smile was disdainful, looking at Gai Tianyuan as if he were a fool.
If Gai Tianyuan were to be released, the first one to die would be himself, why would Ye Xuan commit such foolishness?
“Young friend, don’t misunderstand, if you release me, I promise not to harm you. On the contrary, I will tell you how to become the Chaos Star Master. Moreover, you have the Power of Space-Time. Even if I wanted to harm you, with the Power of Space-Time by your side, you could escape.” Gai Tianyuan said sincerely.
Hearing Gai Tianyuan’s words, Ye Xuan frowned, falling into silence. As Gai Tianyuan said, he had the Power of Space-Time and although not a match for Gai Tianyuan, it wouldn’t be easy for the other to kill him.
But Ye Xuan couldn’t be sure if Gai Tianyuan was deceiving him about the Chaos Star Master.
Perhaps sensing Ye Xuan’s doubts, Gai Tianyuan hurriedly said: “In those years, when the Heavenly Lord of Spirits destroyed the Tianyuan Kingdom, he searched the world for the Chaos Star Master’s legacy, yet returned empty-handed.”
“In fact, he didn’t know that to become a Chaos Star Master, one must undergo the Chaos Trial, and this trial is these ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine prohibitions.”
Having said this, Gai Tianyuan abruptly stopped, clearly not wanting to divulge the secret of becoming a Chaos Star Master.
“I’m curious, if you have the Chaos Star Master’s legacy, why didn’t you become a Chaos Star Master yourself? Instead, you were exterminated by the Lord of Spirits, eventually leaving only a wisp of a soul?” Ye Xuan, not blinded by greed, asked Gai Tianyuan with extreme clarity.
“Alas.”
“Young friend, you don’t know, becoming a Chaos Star Master isn’t so simple, just like how the Supreme of antiquity needs to cultivate step by step, back then…” Gai Tianyuan recounted past events in detail.
So-called Tianyuan Kingdom was actually a trial ground, only by passing the trial can one become a Chaos Star Master.
Unfortunately, Gai Tianyuan didn’t pass the trial, but he had mastered some methods of the Chaos Star Master, which allowed him to contend with the Lord of Spirits.
But the Lord of Spirits was too strong. Before he transformed into the Supreme of the Tenth Epoch, he attacked directly, destroying not only the Tianyuan Kingdom but also shattering Gai Tianyuan’s spirit, leaving only a wisp of a soul to escape.
Only before leaving, perhaps sensing Gai Tianyuan wasn’t truly dead, he left a Spirit Blood Bead to suppress Gai Tianyuan’s remnant soul.
The Chaos Star Master is exceptionally powerful, and despite Gai Tianyuan being left with only a wisp of his soul, he relied on his knowledge of the Star Master’s methods to block the Spirit Blood Bead, narrowly escaping death.
He was just trapped in the first of the ten thousand prohibitions, and the Spirit Blood Bead targets the soul, subjecting him to great pain every day, destined to be annihilated by it sooner or later.
Coincidentally, thirty million years ago the Tailing Saint King entered the Tianyuan Kingdom, and Gai Tianyuan first drew him into the prohibition, even taking over his body, just barely surviving until now.
He controlled the body of the Tailing Saint King to venture out, constantly seeking a way to escape, finally concluding that to free his remnant soul, he must break the Spirit Blood Bead.
He dared not seek those in the Creation Realm, as his remnant soul was no match for them. Though he could unleash power at the Creation Realm level, his soul was inherently suppressed by the Spirit Blood Bead, and anyone below the Creation Realm would struggle to shatter the Spirit Blood Bead.
Thus, Gai Tianyuan found himself in a dilemma.
Coincidentally, Ye Xuan had appeared before Gai Tianyuan, possessing Great Saint Level cultivation but with a terrifyingly strong physical body, enough to shatter the Spirit Blood Bead, hence the current situation arose.
“Young friend, I do not wish to waste words. Now, with only a wisp of a soul left, if you help me escape, I will certainly keep my promise and tell you how to become the Chaos Star Master.” Gai Tianyuan spoke deeply, his eyes sincerely fixed on Ye Xuan.
