Honghuang: The Eternal Chess Game

With fate as its guiding thread, the story spans the twelve great eras of the Primordial World. The protagonist is not a cultivator in the traditional sense, but a Player of the Game, born of the Great Dao. He watches each cataclysm unfold with cold detachment, manipulating events from behind the scenes, until the Age of the End of the Law reveals the ultimate truth of the Primordial Universe.
