The Chess Game of Chaos

The Zichen Hall collapsed. The Star Emperor's robe shattered into meteors, the jade steps beneath the dragon throne crumbled to dust, and the peak Harmony-stage pressure dissipated like smoke. The Empress knelt in the ruins. Her crown was askew, her amber phoenix eyes reflecting the flames of war, her slender fingers clutching a broken chess piece—engraved with the character "Qian." "The game... I lost after all." This scene occurred in the 473rd year of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty. But now, it is the 221st year of the Great Qian Era. Nothing has begun yet.
