As Li Xuantu looked at the black and white pieces crisscrossing the board, he swallowed back his words.

“The story of the chess game and the rotted axe spoke of a woodcutter spotting two immortals playing chess and losing track of time, not even realizing when his axe rotted away. But this place… it clearly has nothing to do with any woodcutter,” Li Xuantu sternly said.

As he spoke, he glanced at the spectator of the chess match. Outwardly, this man appeared to be in his late twenties. He wore a cloth hat and a long robe, and in the right hand held behind his back was a bamboo scroll. This was clearly a delicate scholar.

He clearly didn’t have any connection to any of the characters in the story.

“I don’t know the details. In the story, it was just that woodcutter who accidentally wandered into the Celestial Domain, but it’s not like that incident could have only happened once. That woodcutter wasn’t necessarily the first to wander into this place, and there’s even less chance that he was the last,” Wang Chong grimly said.

“The others are one thing, but why would he lure in a woodcutter?” Li Xuantu said in confusion.

The ancient texts were not a complete record of history, and there were many far-fetched stories. Many people took those myths and records of the strange as the truth, but even more people regarded those stories as fantasies to chatter over during tea.

But whether it was Li Xuantu or Wang Chong, they gradually began to understand that while the myths and tales were not identical to what was said in the ancient texts, they had their basis in truth and were not complete fantasies.

“This isn’t something we can know, but we can be sure that there had to be a time that Heaven must have found difficult to endure, so he let in these ordinary people. Moreover, Heaven must have had a reason for this,” Wang Chong sternly said.

Whoosh!

There was another gust of wind, but all was silent. There was no one else here besides Wang Chong’s group.

While these ordinary people seemed bizarre, what truly drew Wang Chong’s attention was not the spectating scholar, nor was it that black-bearded Daoist, but the smiling youth seated across from him.

Wang Chong had been through many trials and had seen many things, and his mind had become extremely firm and steady, but the sight of that youth still left Wang Chong’s mind trembling in shock.

This youth was different from anyone else he had seen, because while he had lived in an era where one’s hair was required to be bound, this young man had a haircut that was completely at odds with that era: a crew cut!

And unlike the Daoist and the scholar, he wore clothes that should have never appeared in this era: a white t-shirt and jeans!

“How in the…” Wang Chong muttered so softly that only he could hear.

His expression remained calm, but a storm was rampaging through his mind.

As someone who had been born in another world, Wang Chong was extremely familiar with these clothes. These were clothes that could only have appeared in a world of steel and concrete.

For a long time, Wang Chong had believed that he had been this world’s only transmigrator, but gradually, Wang Chong had learned that he was far from the only one. The revered Sage Emperor had been one.

And this smiling youth was clearly another.

But unlike the Sage Emperor, the youth with a crew cut had clearly come from a time much closer to his own.

The universe contained countless parallel universes. Wang Chong didn’t know if he had come from the same modern society as him, or if this was just a coincidence. It had happened so long ago that there was no way of finding the true reason.

The truth would forever remain buried in the dust of history.

But Wang Chong was sure about one thing. From that content smile on the youth’s face, it was clear that he had integrated completely into this world and this life. Even that Daoist and scholar had accepted him, playing and watching chess together with him.

Alas, everything had been frozen in time.

“Heaven, what in the world did you do?” Wang Chong muttered, a dim look in his eyes.

Li Xuantu was right. Whether it was the woodcutter, the scholar, or this bearded Daoist, none of them were worth Heaven’s time, and in normal circumstances, they never would have appeared here.

Because Heaven’s true goal was never the woodcutter or the scholar! It was that smiling youth with the crew cut!

This was his true target!

“This person is very strange…”

Li Xuantu and Little Nightmare had finally noticed that ‘strangely dressed’ youth.

“Such strange clothes, and this…”

Li Xuantu reached out and plucked a transparent button from the youth’s chest.

“What material is this? Not iron or gold, nor any kind of precious stone. Is this one of Heaven’s people? Or someone from another epoch that Heaven brought inside?”
