(This book has nothing to do with reality. I simply want to write out the story in my heart. Let everything take its course, and I hope you'll give it your support! Thank you!)
Throughout the ages, all living beings in the world have cultivated according to an invisible rule. The most mysterious and powerful forces in this world are the Heavenly Dao and the Upper Realm. Cultivation proceeds through Gathering Spirits, Condensing the Core, Shattering the Core, Soul Guidance, Recondensation, Core Devouring, Soul Transformation, King-Sealing, and Sainthood. At the peak of Sainthood, the Heavenly Dao opens the Heavenly Gate. Those who cross it reach the Upper Realm and become gods; those who fail die, their bodies and souls destroyed. All living beings can aspire to godhood, but becoming a god means nothing more than becoming a piece on the Heavenly Dao's chessboard. The Heavenly Dao knows everything in the world. It has witnessed too much scheming and infighting in the lower realm. What would happen if the beings below gained the same power as it? It dares not think about it, nor does it want to. Rather than suffer a headache when that day comes, it would be better to make heaven and earth the board and all living beings the pieces, ensuring they could never challenge it. But how could suppression last forever? No matter how flawless the plan, the pieces have their own thoughts and consciousness, and cannot remain lost forever. The arrogant player will eventually be slain by the pieces.
