Su Yi, the Venerable of the Heavenly Game, has calculated the fates of all living beings for three hundred years and stands unrivaled beneath the heavens.
Until one day, he divines the secrets of fate and sees his own ending: a year from now, as he ascends, the Heavenly Dao will personally erase him, leaving no chance of survival.
There is no way out.
So he does something no one could have expected: he sends invitations far and wide, summoning every enemy he has in the world to gather at Heavenly Game Peak within eighty-one days and kill him.
The Blood Sword, the Poison Immortal, the Mad Monk… His old enemies arrive one after another, each harboring murderous intent.
Everyone thinks this is Su Yi’s final burst of madness before death.
No one knows that the entire peak is a game of strategy he has laid out. Making himself a piece, the strongest people in the world his variables, and the boundless Heavenly Dao his opponent, he intends to deceive the heavens and win a sliver of hope from a game in which he is fated to die.
Yet an ordinary young girl who should never have been part of the game unexpectedly wanders onto Heavenly Game Peak.
For the first time, Su Yi discovers that in all his calculations of the world, there is no place for her.
Is she the key to breaking the game, or the final piece placed by the Heavenly Dao?
The game has begun. Once a piece is played, there is no taking it back.
