Simultaneous travel: My sons all have the qualities of an emperor

Chapter 424 The outcome is not limited to the chessboard.

"Teamfight Tactics, Ke Zed, Zephyr's signature move?"

If it weren't for that nine-time champion, Gu Ming would have simply captured the chessboard.

Go player Gu Ming said with a bitter face, "That's right, I feel like he brought the system with him."

Everyone fell silent.

Let alone Fang Sheng, who transmigrated from Gu Ming's body, even the fully-formed Jiang Liuer and the Chess Demon King would have to kneel down.

Even if Jiang Liuer and Chess Ghost King are incredibly powerful, they are still just ancient chess saints. But Ke Jie is the last generation of chess saints before a certain dog appeared, surpassing any chess saint in the history of Go.

To be precise, Ke Jie was only one step away from becoming a legendary Go master: death on the spot.

In particular, in the world of Go prodigies, Gu Ming encountered a Koko team that was equipped with AlphaGo. How could he possibly win against that? He couldn't think of any way to break the deadlock.

It's safe to say that even if Jiang Liuer and the Chess Ghost King ate the Brain God Pills that enhance human brainpower like candy, they still might not be able to beat Ke Jie and the dog behind him.

Well, except for a certain Korean older woman.

The crowd looked at Gu Ming, the Go player, with pity; this was indeed a very difficult problem to solve.

Go player Gu Ming was also on the verge of tears, but he said fiercely, "Alas, I still suffer because of the times. If it were modern society, I would definitely kill Ke Jie and shatter his Dao heart."

The crowd was puzzled: "What do you mean? You mean you are exceptionally talented, and if you go through the trials of AlphaGo, you can compete with Ke Jie?"

Gu Ming, the Go player, raised his eyebrows, full of confidence: "No, what I mean is, if this were today's society, I could play Golden Shovel with Ke Jie."

"Hmph, if it were a golden shovel, I'd show him what cruelty truly means!"

Gu Ming was speechless and said in unison, "I could do it too."

Then they smiled at each other.

Gu Ming, the Go player, said again, "Brothers, quickly pass on your cultivation to me. With your lofty realm that encompasses the universe and swallows all phenomena, I don't believe we can't defeat Ke Jie and the dog behind him."

After he finished speaking, Gu Ming and his group were dumbfounded. They weren't friends, were they kidding?

Their combined cultivation is comparable to that of an Immortal Emperor, and you're actually thinking of playing Go? You've gone down a dead end!

Gu Mingxin said with heartache, "If you play Go, then you can't just play Go. You have to fight in the nineteen lines of Go, not just fight in the nineteen lines."

Go player Gu Ming looked up blankly: "Dude, what you're saying is a bit confusing. Could you explain in more detail?"

Gu Ming then spoke up, "Then let me ask you, how many chess masters have there been in Chinese history? Among these chess masters, who is the most undisputed, and who has mastered that divine move?"

Gu Ming, a Go player, struggled to find a solution but could not.

Gu Ming clutched his heart, heartbroken, and said, "I'll give you a hint... the Han Dynasty..."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "As we all know, a sword saint is a sword saint because he kills people with a sword, so how can one become a chess saint?"

Gu Ming, the Go master, fell into thought again. His eyebrows furrowed, then suddenly relaxed, his pupils dilated, and he blurted out, "The Go Saint of the Great Han Dynasty!"

Gu Ming laughed and said, "Indeed."

Throughout history, countless chess masters have emerged, but who can claim to be invincible, and who dares to say they are undefeated?

Only one person.

Liu Qi, the Great Chess Master of the Han Dynasty.

Unofficial historical records say: The Great Han Chess Saint had a fierce playing style and was good at fighting in the middle game. Once a game was over, it determined not only the winner but also life and death. A divine move could solve different games throughout the ages.

Gu Ming, the Go player, understood. He tightly grasped the hand of Gu Ming from the previous life, grabbed his immense cultivation, and instantly refined it.

Three days later, a game of chess that attracted worldwide attention began in the Ming Dynasty.

Go enthusiasts from all over the world are paying close attention and flocking to the capital to watch.

Unlike three days ago, Gu Ming was now confident of victory. Under the open sky, the two sat quietly, looking at the nineteen-line chessboard in front of them.

Ke Jie, young and spirited, looked at Gu Ming before him and thought, 'Such a powerful aura. I hope this person can put pressure on me. After all, I've been invincible in the modern world for far too long.'

At that moment, an electronic dog's voice came from his ear: "Ding, the host has encountered the Great Ming Chess Master. Defeat him and you can return to Earth."

Upon hearing this, Ke Jie was filled with fighting spirit. He had been in this world for nine years, which could be described as three years after three years. Who knew how he had spent these nine years?

Without the golden shovel, every day feels like an eternity!

Meanwhile, Gu Ming, standing to the side, was also sizing up Ke Jie. He said with an air of superiority, "The match is about to start. Aren't you going to wear a helmet?"

Ke Jie asked curiously, "A helmet? What kind of helmet?"

Seeing this, Gu Ming didn't say anything more, and with the referee's command, he began to play against Ke Jie.

Both men made their moves with the air of grandmasters, and then fought their way to the middle game. Ke had a huge advantage in the ko fight, and with just one move, he could kill Gu Ming's large dragon and return home.

"The advantage is in my hands this round!"

Ke Jie had already made up his mind, knowing that Gu Ming had no chance to turn the tables.

The other onlookers, whether referees, spectators, or even the emperor and other high-ranking officials, all wore expressions of surprise; Gu Ming had truly lost.

But then, Gu Ming made a move. In front of everyone, he picked up the chessboard and smashed it directly at Ke Jie's head.

"I'm Cio!"

"I ask you, who won and who lost this game of chess?"

Answer me! Look at my Esys!

Ke Jie was so dizzy from the beating that he cried out, "I lost, I lost."

He now finally understood why Gu Ming had asked him why he wasn't wearing a helmet before the game started—he deeply regretted it.

As Ke Jie resigned, the electronic dog voice sounded again: [Host detected as defeated by the Great Ming Chess Saint. Mission failed. Reward not to be issued.]

Ke Jie: o(╥﹏╥)o
Gu Ming laughed heartily, but seeing Jie Bao's pitiful appearance, he laughed and said, "Since your chess skills are not bad, you will be my apprentice from now on, and I will teach you the methods to defeat your enemies."

As for the unusual actions of the other emperors and even the people of the world, Gu Ming didn't care at all; he was simply playing a game of overwhelming force.

······
In this world of supreme power, as time flows by, the apocalypse draws ever closer.

And over the years, many significant events have occurred.

First, Gu Ming, the Lord of Myriad Phenomena, appeared out of nowhere, stirring up the Real World, defeating the Golden Emperor, defeating the Three Pure Ones, and becoming the Moral Heavenly Venerable, thus proving the Dao to the other shore through his power.

Then the Azure Emperor attained enlightenment, tracing back to his various incarnations and uniting all realms, becoming the second powerful being from the other shore after Gu Ming.

Moreover, with the final calamity approaching, it is already a chaotic world where all sides are vying to cross over. All the ancient beings among the powerful beings on the other side are playing a game of strategy, wanting to seize the only Dao Fruit that will be born in this world after the arrival of the final calamity.

Therefore, Meng Qi, who was the product of Yuanshi Tianzun's subtraction into emptiness, also attained enlightenment and reached the other shore.

This made the group of ancient people very uneasy.

Because the Three Pure Ones are now all in hiding, with the Moral Celestial Venerable as the current ruler and the Primordial Celestial Venerable as Meng Qi, only the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable Gu Xiaosang is missing. This has led to a rare unity among the dissenting beings of the Other Shore, including the Demon Buddha and the Golden Emperor.

But for the sake of the path to enlightenment, everything else can be abandoned.

The Demon Buddha had a handsome face, unlike the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, but rather resembled a holy monk, with everlasting Buddhist light. He smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoists, Gu Xiaosang is about to attain the other shore, so we must not let him succeed under any circumstances."

The Golden Emperor's gaze remained unchanged: "Not bad." Then, the Golden Emperor, who should have been aloof and untouched by worldly desires, surprisingly revealed a hint of annoyance in his tone:
"Gu Mingduan is barbaric, but he is still shallow in knowledge and lacks vision. His so-called superiority over the Three Pure Ones is nothing but a joke."

"When Gu Xiaosang achieves the other shore, and together with Lingbao Tianzun, he intends to reduce to emptiness, then the Dao fruit of this era will surely be obtained by the Three Pure Ones."

The other beings on the other side could not see their faces clearly, but they all left behind the words: "Good."

Then, one by one, they turned their attention to the real world.

When the final calamity arrives, in theory, countless natural disasters should occur in the real world, and death should permeate the air. This is an unstoppable trend, an inevitable course of events.

But that Lord of Myriad Phenomena deliberately used his own Dao foundation to block many natural disasters, allowing the disasters to consume his body, thus giving all living beings a "perfect world." Even they couldn't understand such behavior.

That final tribulation will only grow stronger and more intense with each suppression. Once it reaches its limit and erupts, well, even those on the other side will perish.

Although the group from the other shore did not understand, they ignored it. After all, they had seen people like this before, who died and vanished for a brief moment for the sake of their so-called ideals.

Its famous emperor...
Gu Ming was sitting upright in the Realm of Truth, like the foundation of existence, protecting all living beings. In front of him was a chessboard, and he was playing chess with Meng Qi, who was wearing a helmet.

He was puzzled; his father-in-law had suddenly become very interested in chess and invited him to play a game.

Meng Qi readily agreed to his father-in-law's request, but he was puzzled as to why Gu Xiaosang had specifically reminded him to wear a helmet when playing chess before he left home.

The two then began playing chess. By the middle game, Meng Qi had the upper hand, while Gu Ming's hand was already silently on the chessboard, as if he might flip the table at any moment.

Xiao Meng was no ordinary person; he was shrewd and perceptive, with years of experience in both being a novice and being manipulated. He immediately understood why Gu Xiaosang had made him wear a helmet.

He then decisively created several openings, and was subsequently killed without leaving a trace.

This prevented a bloody disaster from happening.

Then, Xiao Meng wisely shouted "666" (a Chinese internet slang term for something impressive).

Actually, it wasn't that Xiao Meng was being obsequious; rather, now that he was a being on the other side, he could see how much his father-in-law was burdened with.

Although he sat at an infinitely high place, behind him was an endless expanse of "nothingness," "chaos," and "calamity energy."

If the real world is a ship with a huge hole, about to sink into the endless ocean, then one's father-in-law is the one who, with his own strength, patched up the hole and saved the entire ship.

But how long can this last?
After a long pause, Meng Qi hesitated and said, "Well, Father, the final calamity is inevitable, so why don't we just forget about it?"

Gu Ming's gaze swept into the distance, taking in the countless beings of the real world: "It's alright, I have my own plans. I summoned you here today for another matter."

The others laughed at Gu Ming for his lack of vision, but little did they know that Gu Ming's vision was far from limited; it was far too high.

Gao Dao would have to use all his strength to fight against the final calamity, transforming the foundation of existence into an eternal foundation, and leading Meng Hao and Gu Xiaosang from reducing to emptiness to replacing it, thus achieving the realm of Dao Fruit.

Meng Qi then said no more, asking, "What is it?"

Then Gu Ming smiled and said, "The time has come, Xiao Sang will reach the other shore."

Meng Qi immediately felt a chill in his heart, and the Three Treasures Ruyi and the Pangu Banner appeared in his hands. He couldn't help but say, "This time, Xiao Sang's attainment of enlightenment will probably not be agreed upon by all those on the other shore under heaven."

Gu Ming smiled slightly and pointed to the chessboard: "Victory or defeat is not only determined on the chessboard."

Immediately, Gu Ming slightly released the mental imprint, and boundless calamity energy was released, even reaching the Azure Palace.

Gu Xiaosang is now aligned with the Dao of Lingbao Tianzun, who is the symbol of the final calamity. Therefore, the calamity energy is the best resource for her to reach the other shore.

Now that he has accumulated enough experience, Gu Ming will naturally lend him a helping hand.

Gu Xiaosang in the Biluo Palace sensed the aura of the impending doom and stood up. A clear white lotus bloomed around her, and the four swords of Zhuxian surrounded her.

At the same moment, in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Bodhi Pure Land, the Realm of Emptiness, the Nine Netherworlds, and other other sacred sites on the other shore, countless lofty gazes from the heavens were cast upon us.

"end!"

At the same time, Meng Qi, holding the Pangu Banner and activating the Seal of Creation, blocked many gazes: "It is you who should stop here!"

"The mortal world is like a prison, all beings suffer, the cycle of reincarnation never ends, and worries never cease..."

A ethereal and holy voice resounded throughout the mortal realm, the immortal realm, and the netherworld, cleansing sins and enlightening humanity. This was the Golden Emperor, who had been forced by Gu Ming to flee with his hometown of Vacuum, now reappearing.

Then a bright moon hung high in the sky, and a pure and ethereal aura gathered into a white lotus. Among them was a woman who looked very much like Gu Xiaosang, yet was infinitely majestic. She was none other than the Golden Emperor.

He looked at Gu Ming and said, "Stop."

Then another melodious Buddhist chant resounded from every point in the river of time.

Amidst the boundless Buddha light, an Amitabha Buddha emerged, one of the most ancient beings on the other shore, seeking to obstruct Gu Xiaosang's path to enlightenment.

In their view, Gu Xiaosang's attainment of enlightenment would greatly benefit the Three Pure Ones, therefore they refused.

Master Lu, Sword God Su Wuming, and others closely related to Gu Ming are all watching. Achieving the other shore is extremely difficult, and the slightest carelessness could lead to death and the annihilation of one's cultivation.

Internal tribulations are difficult to overcome, let alone external tribulations.

Will Gu Xiaosang be able to get through this?

And that's not all. In the Nine Netherworlds, a Demon Buddha was born, and countless chaotic and crazed eyes stared at Gu Xiaosang.

But high above the nine heavens, a supreme Heavenly Emperor cast his gaze down, covering the person with one hand, forbidding him from attaining enlightenment!
And this is far from the end. Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave, and the ancient Buddhist and Taoist charm of Bodhi are all not permitted.

The Heavenly Monster and the Supreme True Buddha, these two irrational beings at the Other Shore level, have also appeared, wantonly displaying their claws and fangs, trying to stop Gu Xiaosang from attaining enlightenment.

Seeing this, Meng Qi felt utterly disheartened. No matter how skilled his father-in-law was, he was no match for so many people from the other side joining forces.

At this moment, Gu Xiaosang had already made great strides in proving various otherworldly phenomena, but the next moment, many otherworldly beings in the world made their move.

It was already a situation with no chance of survival.

"With the combined efforts of many from the other side, Gu Xiaosang, your defeat is not in vain. Even your father would have died in this calamity."

Those who have reached the other shore spoke coldly.

But at that moment, the most intense and dazzling light illuminated the entire world.

"Who claims to be invincible?"

Who dares to claim invincibility? Even the fallen emperors of that era are nowhere to be found.

A man who looked seven or eight parts like Gu Ming appeared, standing tall and imposing in front of all the other shore beings.

The Desolate Heavenly Emperor has arrived in this world!
Then, his eyes blazed with intensity as he held the sword embryo, unleashing a dazzling sword light that severed the river of time, blocking all those on the other side.

"Who dares to block the way!"
