I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 458 – Universe Stars Map!

At that moment, everyone's attention was focused on the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.

Xiong Meng's words from before had made many people suspicious.

They felt that Shen Tian definitely had some ulterior motive for playing chess like this, but they couldn't understand what he was doing with their skills.

Thus, everyone wanted to see how Shen Tian would resolve this situation.

Shen Tian and Shi Tianzi were advancing continuously.

Shi Tianzi would ask Shen Tian for his position before proceeding forward every time.

Shen Tian would follow with a quick response and didn't need to think for a long time like the others.

Therefore, the two of them played their pieces very quickly.

The position where they placed their pieces was very strange, and there seemed to be no logic.

Although the black pieces occasionally intercepted their pieces, the numbers were very small and not enough to be feared.

Given their battle prowess, they could easily deal with the phantoms that emerged from the black pieces.

The people in the outside world were confused.

To be precise, they could no longer understand the game.

This was because Shen Tian's chess style was completely out of common sense and had no skill at all.

However, one thing was clear. If they were to continue with their strategy, they would definitely be unable to win.

This was because the black pieces had already surrounded the white pieces.

Before long, the white pieces would be completely surrounded and killed.

Shi Tianzi had no idea about all of this.

Shi Tianzi was immersed in joy because he realized that Shen Tian had the same thoughts as him every time.

He was very happy and felt that his chess skills might not be as bad as he had imagined.

After all, Shen Tian's chess skills were profound, and he thought of the same moves as Shen Tian.

This meant that his chess skills were not weak either.

Shi Tianzi sighed in his heart.

Looks like I've always underestimated myself. So I'm actually a genius in the Dao of Chess!

“Brother Shen, I have a suggestion. How about we take the next step like this?”

Shi Tianzi was eager to give it a try and chose a spot. He felt that he had grasped the essence of chess and wanted to verify it.

Shen Tian nodded. “Great minds think alike. That's what I thought too!”

He trusted Shi Tianzi's decision.

Hearing Shen Tian's reply, Shi Tianzi resolutely walked over.

Sure enough, the place was still safe.

Shi Tianzi's face was filled with joy. “Thank you for your guidance, Brother Shen. I understand now.”

He sighed in his heart.

Brother Shen is indeed my lifelong friend. I can learn a lot just by following Brother Shen!

Shen Tian said with a smile, “Brother Shi's talent is extraordinary. I said you could do it a long time ago!”

He fixed his gaze on Shi Tianzi's head as a faint image appeared on it.

The two of them continued forward, but the further they went, the more complicated the situation became.

They began to suffer attacks from the black pieces, and even though there weren't many of them, they soon fell into a deadlock.

As such, Shi Tianzi didn't dare to casually make his next move, afraid that something would go wrong.

He looked at Shen Tian and asked again, “Brother Shen, what should we do next?”

Shen Tian pointed to a spot. “Here. Brother Shi, what do you think?”

Shi Tianzi nodded. “That's what I thought too.”

Shen Tian smiled. “Since we're thinking of the same thing, it's definitely correct.”

Shi Tianzi nodded seriously. “Brother Shen is right.”

“Let's go this way next!”

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched madly.

They finally understood what was going on.

They were two completely clueless fellows playing chess.

They looked like they were pretty good from the side, but in reality, everything they did was just a wild guess!

Any one of the people present might be able to perform better than them with this kind of chess skill.

Yet, these two still felt that they were skilled in chess and appreciated each other.

Yes, these two are really great!

An older generation expert shook his head. “It's already over.”

The two seemed to be safe, but the black pieces completely surrounded them. It could be said that there was no chance of winning at all.

The number of black pieces increased as the game went on. In the end, they would all be wiped out. It would be a dead-end no matter which step they took.

However, Shi Tianzi didn't know that. He still confidently took the final step!

Boom!

Divine multicolored light rushed into the heavens, brilliance overflowing in all directions.

Countless black pieces appeared from all directions and surrounded them.

Terrifying fluctuations swept out and shot into the sky, and it shook the clouds in the nine heavens.

Countless phantoms walked out from the black pieces, their auras terrifying to the extreme.

It seemed as if they wanted to destroy the world.

The older generation expert shook his head and sighed. “They were only able to reach this stage because of luck. However, this game has come to an end, and the victor has already been decided. There is no way to reverse the situation. I wonder if they can kill their way out!”

The current situation was even more dangerous than the situation that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and company had been in.

There were so many black pieces that it was hard to imagine. It was a vast expanse of blackness as far as the eye could see.

Everyone felt their hearts tremble when they saw this.

Even Great Sages would bleed to death if so many black pieces surrounded them.

Given the Divine Firmament Saint and Shi Tianzi's combat strength, they might not be able to leave safely.

Everyone felt that the odds were against them.

Shi Tianzi's expression changed slightly. He looked at the endless army and felt his scalp go numb.

“Brother Shen, what do we do now?”

No matter how bad his chess skills were, he knew that there was no way out.

Shen Tian confidently replied, “No worries, we'll wait and see!”

Shi Tianzi's eyes flickered with astonishment, and he inwardly sighed.

As expected of Brother Shen, he is able to remain calm even in such a dangerous situation.

Compared to Brother Shen, my mental state is far inferior.

When he thought of this, Shi Tianzi also calmed down, preparing to fight.

However, the sound of the Heavenly Dao suddenly sounded in the void.

It seemed to echo through the heavens and the earth.

In that instant, everyone was shocked. Looking over, they saw two blurry figures appear above the board.

It was a man and a child playing chess. The layout of the chessboard in front of them was exactly the same as the situation Shen Tian and Shen Tianzi were in.

Seeing that the game had been set, the man slowly stood up while the child hurriedly stood up.

“Master, why are you going?”

The voice of the child seemed to have come from the boundless space and time, traversing through the ages.

It felt illusory and impossible to capture.

Everyone was shocked. They did not know why such a change would occur.

The man sighed and said, “I am stepping into the outer realm to slay Evil Spirits, quell the chaos, and protect the common people.”

This voice was solemn and dignified.

The child asked again, “When will Master return?”

His tone was filled with worry and reluctance as if they would never see each other again after this farewell.

The man replied, “I will return once the war is over.”

This conversation seemed brief, but it caused a tempestuous storm in the hearts of countless people.

Some were dejected, others had tears in their eyes, and their hearts were filled with sorrow. They seemed to have seen the descent of the great calamity of the ancient era, as well as the destruction it brought along.

There were mountains of corpses, seas of bones, and rivers of blood everywhere.

Countless experts stepped out of their homes and entered the battlefield, wanting to fight against the enemies and protect their homes.

In the end, countless people buried their bones in the sand, leaving behind their descendants in grief.

This was their mission and their helplessness.

Even though they protected their homes, they couldn't return to their homeland to meet their old friends again.

Everyone was immersed in this conversation.

At that moment, a change occurred in the sky.

Countless stars suddenly appeared in the bright sky, and light descended, covering heaven and earth.

Dazzling starlight shone on the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, enveloping Shen Tian and Shen Tianzi. They were immersed in endless brilliance, enjoying the baptism of starlight, looking very exceptional.

Suddenly, a powerful spatial force burst out from the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.

In an instant, the two figures disappeared from everyone's sight.

Even the Spherical Heaven Chessboard had been completely shut down and vanished from the Supreme Sky Tree World.

Everyone was shocked upon seeing this scene.

“What happened? Where did the Divine Firmament Saint and Shi Tianzi go?”

“Why did the chessboard suddenly close? They seem to have been teleported away!”

“How did this happen?”

“Could it be that they've really cleared the board game?”

Since the appearance of the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, there had never been such a strange scene.

But now, not only had the tune of the Dao descended, but even the board had changed.

More than likely, it was because Shen Tian had cleared the game. This was the only possible explanation.

Many people sighed and said, “So there's really a secret behind this!”

“Our horizons have been broadened.”

“The Divine Firmament Saint is a true chess genius!”

“He saw through all the mysteries and found a way to clear the game.”

They had been under the impression Shen Tian didn't know anything about chess.

In the end, they realized that the clowns were actually themselves.

They were filled with admiration and envy for Shen Tian.

“If I was the one who had cleared the game, I would have definitely obtained a supreme inheritance!”

“As expected of the Son of Providence, Shen Tian!”

Shen Tian and Shi Tianzi had already entered another space.

Starlight lingered about here, and natural laws filled this space. It felt like they were in a sea of stars, incomparably dazzling.

The surroundings were filled with stars that shone brightly. One could even see the Milky Way streaking across.

“Where… is this place?”

Shi Tianzi was bewildered. He had never seen such a peculiar scene.

Shen Tian was indifferent and unmoved.

At that moment, the space in front of the two of them surged as boundless immortal light shot out.

Then, a figure walked out from the void.

It was a mighty figure in silver armor. His entire body was enveloped in hazy starlight, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

His aura was vast like the sea, vast and unrestrained, grand to the extreme!

Shi Tianzi and Shen Tian shuddered upon seeing this figure.

He's too powerful! This person is definitely a supreme expert!

Shi Tianzi said respectfully, “Senior, may I know where this place is?”

The figure slowly said, “This is the inner world of the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.

“Congratulations on clearing the Spherical Heaven Chessboard game.”

Shi Tianzi was dumbfounded. “We cleared it?”

Before coming in, he had clearly seen that the black pieces had completely surrounded them.

Shi Tianzi had originally thought that this chess game had come to an end and that they had completely failed.

However, the figure that had suddenly appeared told them that they had cleared the level.

Shi Tianzi was stunned, unable to react.

The figure spoke once more. “This King set up the Spherical Heaven Chessboard to find a successor.”

“To clear the game, one did not need to make the white piece escape alive. It was just to see whether I could meet a fated person.

“If one tries to clear the game with advanced chess skills, the pieces will just slowly wear one down until they lose.

“Only by taking every step as I did when I was young can one clear the chess game.

“I see the shadow of myself when I was young on both of you!”

Shi Tianzi immediately reacted with an awkward expression.

He had originally thought that his chess skills were superb, but it turned out that it was just a coincidence.

But soon, Shi Tianzi's heart turned heavy.

He discovered that Shen Tian already had a card up his sleeve and even resolutely chose this method to play chess.

If it was just one person, it could be said to be lucky. However, for two people to make the same exact moves, it didn't just depend on luck.

Brother Shen must have seen through this chess game long ago. However, he wanted to share some of his opportunities with me and thus invited me to play the game with him.

Brother Shen is my benefactor!

Shi Tianzi looked at Shen Tian gratefully.

But soon, Shi Tianzi reacted.

According to that person from before, the Spherical Heaven Chessboard was set up by Immortal King Hun Tian in search of a successor.

Didn't that mean that they would obtain Immortal King Hun Tian's inheritance?

What existence was an Immortal King? It was an existence that far surpassed a Thearch, an existence that could look down on all living beings!

In front of an Immortal King, even a Thearch was like an ant that could be easily killed.

He hadn't expected that they would actually be able to find Immortal King Hun Tian's inheritance ground today.

If this was so, that figure must be Immortal King Hun Tian!

Shi Tianzi immediately felt relieved. No wonder this person's aura was so terrifying.

Only peerless Immortal Kings could have this type of aura!

At this time, Immortal King Hun Tian said calmly, “You've entered this place because you're fated to meet me. You can thus accept my inheritance.”

“I will impart the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra to both of you. I hope that all of you will try your best to comprehend it.”

The Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra was an Immortal King sutra that was above that of a Thearch sutra. It was an absolute supreme technique that contained boundless might!

If this technique were to spread to the outside world, it would cause countless factions to fight over it. Even Thearchs would go crazy over it!

Shi Tianzi did not expect to obtain the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra on this trip, which made him extremely excited.

He glanced again at Shen Tian and sighed inwardly.

Brother Shen is indeed worthy of being called the Son of Providence. He will encounter a supreme fortuitous opportunity no matter where he goes. This time, it was all thanks to Brother Shen!

Shi Tianzi believed that all of this was thanks to Shen Tian.

If it wasn't for Shen Tian's guidance, he would be utterly unable to break through the chessboard, so how could he have appeared here to accept Immortal King Hun Tian's inheritance?

“Thank you, Immortal King Hun Tian!”

Shi Tianzi and Shen Tian cupped their hands in thanks.

Immortal King Hun Tian was a peerless expert, and he was even willing to hand over the inheritance to them, so they were naturally extremely grateful.

“This is the Universe Stars Map. It contains the secrets of the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra. How much you can understand will depend on your comprehension!”

Immortal King Hun Tian took out an incomparably dazzling star chart. There were stars all over it, and it was incomparably vast. It was like the starry sea of the universe, with no end in sight.

When this diagram appeared, endless natural laws immediately appeared between heaven and earth, continuously descending as if a new world was about to be birthed.

Endless starlight burst out from the Universe Stars Map. Multicolored light overflowed in all directions, and laws lingered around it. It was a magnificent sight!

Shi Tianzi's eyes lit up as his heart skipped a beat.

The Universe Stars Map instantly attracted him, and even his mind was immersed in it.

Shi Tianzi's pupils became incomparably deep as if there was a resplendent sea of stars flowing within. Streak after streak of dazzling divine rainbow light could be seen soaring across his pupils.

At the same time, his entire body erupted with divine light, dazzling and resplendent, resonating with the starry sea in the sky and entering a profound and mysterious state.

Shi Tianzi's aura was transforming, as if he was wandering through the boundless cosmos, searching for the truth of the Dao.

He had fallen into boundless silence.

Shen Tian was also excited. However, when he was about to comprehend this technique, Immortal King Hun called out to him.

King Pure Heaven said indifferently, “This young friend here, this isn't your true form, right?

“If one wishes to comprehend the Universe Stars Map, only by comprehending with their actual body will they be able to obtain enormous benefits.

“Since you have entered this place, you can also be considered my successor.

“Now, I will send your main body over!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Immortal King Hun Tian waved his hand, and space was instantly torn into an enormous rift.

An incomparably terrifying spatial power surged forth instantly, emitting a boundless might that shot straight into the void.

At Jixia Academy's 2nd Spirit Mountain…

Shen Tian was cultivating with his eyes closed. Divine light surrounded his body.

However, at that moment, the space around him instantly shattered as a boundless might swept over.

Shen Tian was shocked. Before he could react, he was drawn in by this force and disappeared on the spot.

In the Spherical Heaven Chessboard…

The two Shen Tians looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Shen Tian had never imagined that Immortal King Hun Tian would see through his disguise.

One had to know that he cultivated the Blood God Sutra, and this physical body was a clone condensed by his skill, Blood God's Son.

Ordinary people would not be able to see any differences between the main body and the clone.

Back then, Huang Shi had only made a guess. He hadn't been able to confirm his true identity.

Not only had Immortal King Hun Tian seen through it, but he had also dragged his main body through the endless void.

Was this the power of an Immortal King? This was just too terrifying!

Shen Tian's heart tightened as a sense of danger arose in his heart.

From the looks of it, it didn't seem like he could become invincible just by cultivating the Blood God Sutra.

Once he encountered an expert at the level of Immortal King Hun Tian, not only would he be able to determine his identity, but he would also be able to traverse space and kill him!

It was too frightening!

Shen Tian's heart became heavy at this thought.

As if reading Shen Tian's thoughts, Immortal King Hun Tian explained, “Even in the Celestial World, the Blood God Sutra is considered one of the most supreme inheritances.

“Furthermore, it contains powerful concealment abilities. Ordinary people are simply unable to see through it.

“It's a pity that the gap between us is too great. If you had become a Thearch and ascended, even I wouldn't be able to tell at a glance whether you're a true body or a clone.

“It's even more impossible to capture the location of your main body so easily.”

Immortal King Hun Tian was a peerless Immortal King after all, and his strength far exceeded that of a Thearch.

In front of Immortal King Hun Tian, Shen Tian was merely a weakling, so he could naturally see through him.

Shen Tian shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't expect that his self-proclaimed invincible life-saving technique would be useless in front of such an expert.

It seemed like he had to be more careful in the future.

At the very least, he had to become a Thearch before he could go out and have fun!

Immortal King Hun Tian spoke again, “Come out, old fellow! Don't think that I won't be able to sense it just because you're hiding in this kid's sea of consciousness!”

A divine soul suddenly appeared in Shen Tian's mind and transformed into a purple phantom that appeared.

This person was Ye Qincang!

Ye Qincang cupped his hands toward Immortal King Hun Tian and said, “Greetings, Immortal King Hun Tian!”

Ye Qincang used to be a powerful being in the Celestial World, but his soul had eventually fallen into the mortal world.

However, he had still heard of the Immortal King Hun Tian.

Immortal King Hun Tian was absolutely a top existence in the Celestial World. Therefore, even Ye Qincang didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Immortal King Hun Tian.

Shen Tian was surprised. This was the first time he saw Ye Qincang acting like this.

Looks like Immortal King Hun Tian's status in the Celestial World is extremely high!

“I never thought that the God Of War Pagoda would end up like this. Even you have become a remnant soul.”

Immortal King Hun Tian looked at Ye Qincang and shook his head.

Ye Qincang smiled bitterly but didn't explain anything.

Immortal King Hun Tian looked at Shen Tian and said, “You're hiding a lot of secrets. Not only do you have this old brat's protection, you also have that!”

Immortal King Hun Tian seemed to have noticed something, and a ridiculing smile appeared on his face.

Ye Qincang broke out in cold sweat.

This was because Immortal King Hun Tian was too formidable, and he was a peerless Immortal King!

Ye Qincang wouldn't be able to defeat Immortal King Hun Tian even if he was in his prime state, let alone when he was now a remnant soul.

If Immortal King Hun Tian harbored any evil thoughts toward Shen Tian, then Shen Tian would definitely die!
