The heaven and earth are the board, and all living beings are the pieces: the whole world is a huge, invisible chess board. Mountains and rivers are the boundaries, and cities and fortresses are the strongholds. The essence of cultivation is to improve one's level and understanding of the rules as a "chess piece".
Rules of chess: The rules of the world are dominated by "chess". Practitioners gain strength by understanding the way of chess and improving their chess skills. Different chess pieces (soldiers, chariots, horses, cannons, elephants, soldiers, generals) represent different cultivation directions, magical powers and responsibilities.
Why is the world a chess game? Who is playing chess? (Is it an ancient power? The rules of heaven? Or a more terrifying existence?)
