That Dude Is Making Plans

This is a world where martial arts and immortality coexist, but it is also a world firmly bound by the laws of heaven. In ancient times, cultivators could reach the realm of Shattered Void and ascend to the upper realm. However, three thousand years ago, the "Extreme Immortal Tribulation" fell from the sky, the way of heaven was shattered, and the path to ascension was cut off. The cultivators could only reach the "holy realm" at the highest, and their life span was only five hundred years. Since then, the continent's forces have been divided, with many sects standing up, dynasties competing for hegemony, and scattered cultivators struggling to survive. But beyond the knowledge of the world, there is a group of "arrangers" who had glimpsed the secret of heaven as early as three thousand years ago - the destruction of heaven was not accidental, but someone deliberately did it. They call themselves "chess players", using heaven and earth as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, trying to repair the way of heaven, or... Replace it.
