In the multiverse of cultivation known as the Azure Nether Realm, a cycle of “Ten Thousand Forms Chess” resets every 129,600 years, or one Great Epoch. The memories and powers of the twelve “Players” are sealed away, and they are reincarnated as beings of different identities, awaiting the celestial signs that will trigger their awakening. The story begins with the latest anomaly, a “double corona.” As those who have awakened across the various realms start recovering their past-life memories, they gradually discover that their world did not evolve naturally. It is a “game of chess” controlled by a higher existence.
