I'll kill you after I finish this game!

In order to prove the correctness and absoluteness of their reasoning, both of them would act like behind-the-scenes manipulators, creating a series of historical figures to serve as their arguments.

The King of Golden Nightmares and Reiji were playing a game like a hero fighting a demon king, their faces beaming with joy. In their playful banter, they decided the birth and death of countless universes and the life and death of all living beings.

They created powerful individuals who possessed their own strength and fought each other to prove their own path.

The gold of the King of Nightmares and the pure white of Razer are intertwined, locked in a fierce struggle.

"Zheng——"

Countless indescribable, timeless, causal, and otherworldly radiances illuminated the terrifying scene of the collapse of all things and the tearing apart and evaporation of the boundary sea.

What is revealed in the game of chess?

Dimensions are collapsing and being destroyed, the spacetime axis of ancient, modern and future is completely annihilated and broken, and billions of worlds are rising and falling, shaking, disintegrating and being destroyed.

After the Dao that one has proven fails, it becomes an abandoned path that is no longer viable. The universe, which appears to have been born only a few minutes ago, collapses because the world inside has existed for countless years.

But with destruction, even more possibilities emerged from the illusion and became reality, once again set on the chessboard for the two great supreme beings to playfully contend with.

Universes collide, chess pieces devour each other, pieces are linked together, one after another large universe forms a great trend, and then is destroyed by the great trend.

Viewing the world through the lens of chess pieces, it is true that any movement can cause the collapse of spacetime and the destruction and shrinking of all things.

The number of dead lives is far more than trillions. However, it would be better to measure them using the universe as a unit, since no one can count how many bacteria and dust particles there are, nor would anyone care.

Reiji and the King of Golden Nightmares were expanding their respective paths, their moods incredibly joyful. They paid no heed to the destruction and collapse of the universes, but instead engaged in a fierce competition, earnestly drawing out new cycles of birth and death through mutual comparison.

Lei Zhe felt that all the foundations of his Taoist arts were being expanded in a completely new way, and the same was true for the Golden Nightmare King.

A boundary sea, similar to the golden chaotic sea of ​​the Golden Nightmare King, was flowing and surging like a raging torrent within Razor's body, or rather, in his blood.

The Chaos Sea of ​​the Golden Nightmare King had previously caused various tsunamis and whirlpools, causing all the stone pillars standing on the Chaos Sea to collapse and turn into dust, which were then replaced by brand new stone pillars.

"Haha, I've got this in the bag!!"

The King of Golden Nightmares let out a queenly laugh, communicating with the chessboard and the chaotic sea connected to himself, and once again placed a piece to prove his power.

The golden chess piece landed in the upper left corner of the chessboard, hanging in one corner.

When this piece lands there, it takes root and then gives rise to a vast array of one, two, three, four... and so on, to infinity.

Like an unstoppable tsunami, the golden chess pieces shone with boundless brilliance on the chessboard, shining brightly in the eyes of both players.

"Om-"

The white chess pieces on the board were also tinged with a chaotic gold color.

This move brought a smile to Lei Zhe's face that seemed to say, "You're dreaming." Then, as if the divine power of the supreme serpent was wrapped around his two fingers, the move transformed into a pure white piece and landed on the chessboard.

"Woo!"

The King of Golden Nightmares puffed up his cheeks in anger upon seeing this.

Lei Zhe shamelessly used the move of the Golden Nightmare King to prove the Dao, the infinite transformation of duality, and then, through his own power, from nothing to one, one transforms into all things.

With the multiverse at its core, though it is only a single move, it can bring the dead back to life.

The extreme of seven and the flourishing of nine, hence it is endless.

Razer's path forward is similar to that of the King of Golden Nightmare: either he seeks enlightenment through inner breakthroughs or he expands outwards with domineering force.

Now, the Chaos Sea of ​​the Golden Nightmare King has become several times larger than before.

Both of them gained a lot, and seeing each other become stronger and their paths broaden, they felt no envy.

Anyway, they both acted like, "You might make a lot of money, but I definitely won't lose out."

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Myriad Worlds of the Divine Throne, The Sorrowful Realm, and the Confused Consciousness of the Divine Throne

(And here comes the interesting part: For those who haven't read *The Throne of Gods*, I'll ramble a bit, please forgive me.)

"You are better than me in the creation and expansion of the world, and I have benefited greatly from your path."

On the multi-faceted chessboard, Rai Zhe was playing with all his heart and soul, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this king of golden nightmares.

On the road, the other person has gone further than you. According to the time, you are just a latecomer, but on the road, that is not the case.

The expansion of the Golden Chaos Sea was a testament to the opponent's domineering achievements, and they had gone even further in this regard, which is why Lei Zhe felt admiration for his senior.

But despite his respect, he placed several pieces in quick succession, and in an instant, the chessboard underwent another dramatic change.

Reiji's pieces gradually gathered together, forming a golden tide of wrath, manifesting a chaotic tide different from that of the Golden Nightmare King.

Like a roaring lion, it charges at the opponent's pieces.

The Golden Nightmare King's path has great potential for expansion, but regardless of whether Razer pursues internal breakthroughs or external expansion, he has clearly seen a much more distant path ahead.

"boom--!"

Vast swathes of the universe began to collapse. Seeing this move by Razer, the King of Golden Nightmare's expression changed drastically, and he immediately made a move to salvage the situation.

But as soon as she made her move, Reiji immediately followed suit, and the world he created manifested an immeasurable army of powerful beings.

It might not mean much to Razer and the King of Golden Nightmare, but in this exchange of Dao, if the opponent has no backup plan, they will truly be in a complete defeat.

"I will never admit defeat!"

The King of Golden Nightmare's hand covered the sky, directly converging the Golden Chaos Sea into a single realm, using this realm to annihilate countless others, thus stacking his purity to an unbelievable degree.

She also saw the path to inner breakthrough from Lei Zhe, and naturally she also learned to use some methods to counter different situations.

"Unfortunately, that was already an extended path that I had already surpassed."

Seeing this, Lei Zhe just smiled, twisted his neck, and placed a piece, or rather, his last piece, on the chessboard.

Similarly, with the change in purity, the entire spacetime dimension is compressed, and the ultimate density of infinite numbers manifests, compressing the inner infinite extension into the shape of zero and infinity.

"boom--!"

The vast void trembled, and the incomparably terrifying supreme power threatened to shatter and destroy the entire multiverse chessboard. The surging aftershocks pushed forward, weaving together terrifying tides of destruction and creation, a world-destroying tide.

Unlike the Chaos Sea of ​​the King of Golden Nightmares, the Infinite Sea overflowed, containing countless ancient and infinite multidimensional universes. At this moment, spacetime dimensions were reborn and met with doom.

"The Way of Heaven has no beginning and no end; at the end of all things, the beginning and the end are revealed!"

It begins with the singularity at the very beginning of its creation, and ends with the end of everything, the curtain falling on all things, and the finality of all phenomena.

The Tao has no end, and the principle that there is always a higher mountain is obvious. The essence of the Tao, the cycle of Yin and Yang and the rotation of Tai Chi, suddenly exploded in Lei Zhe's mind.

He wanted to see things through to the end, but the road has neither a beginning nor an end. To achieve the ultimate truth is his pursuit and belief.

"Rumble--"

From the distant, infinite shores of time and the beginning, a muffled thud of destruction echoed simultaneously. Reiji's will disregarded its origin and boundaries, and began to expand exponentially between zero and one hundred.

An indestructible great will, carrying its own Dao like the raging waves of Napishtim, shattered and destroyed the chaotic sea of ​​the Golden Nightmare King.

In an instant, the golden chaotic pieces on the chessboard disappeared one by one. Razer's pieces occupied the entire board and shattered it.

The King of Golden Nightmares suddenly raised his head and let out a soft laugh, the emotion of which was hard to decipher: "You won, and thank you, all the way."

With just one move, all the advantages were completely overturned in an instant. Although they failed, it was inexplicably satisfying.

The King of Golden Nightmares had a great time and reaped enormous rewards, without feeling down at all.

Whether it's seeking breakthroughs internally or expanding externally, we've found an interesting path.

The interaction and games with Lei Zhe brought great satisfaction to both of them.

Lei Zhe chuckled and nodded, saying, "Very well... that's good."

This time, Lei Zhe made a good friend who could be considered a fellow Daoist, and the two forged a precious friendship during this game.

After all, it is a blessing to have someone of your kind to accompany you on the road.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After the game ended, Razer was invited to visit her world by this goddess with a queen-like personality.

After leaving his contact information with the King of Golden Nightmare for future communication, Razer parted ways with his friend.

As the King of Golden Nightmares waved goodbye, Rezhe smiled and nodded before disappearing into the chaotic void.

"Sigh, another boring time alone is coming up again. I wish I could be as free as him, but he has to be a mother..."

The King of Golden Nightmares' eyes flickered with disappointment and helplessness. He glanced back at the Chaos Sea that had undergone changes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, a smile that was both beautiful and fleeting.

She was the strongest from birth; power was herself. Her days were spent either dreaming and sleeping, or bored to the point of watching the birth and death of the world within her own domain.

The path that Razer seeks will not bore him, but it is also extremely dangerous, which is why the other party left a possibility in the chaotic sea here with the Golden Nightmare King.

Although he had only met the King of Golden Nightmare for the first time, their previous interactions in the game had allowed them to understand each other's paths and personalities, which enabled them to trust each other.

In Razer's eyes, the Golden Nightmare Queen's personality was like this: willful, two-faced, arrogant, powerful, and violent—all the words used to describe a queen could be used to describe her.

However, as beings who can stand on equal footing and treat each other with respect, Razer and the King of Golden Nightmare do not dislike each other; on the contrary, they both like each other quite a bit.

On the path of cultivation, they can become fellow practitioners, and there won't be much conflict in terms of personality. This is the first time the King of Golden Nightmare has made a friend, so he naturally has no ill intentions towards Rai Zhe, his first friend.

"He kept saying he would have some very interesting plays in the future, and the gifts were really hard to refuse."

The Golden Nightmare Queen blinked her beautiful eyes and looked into the chaotic distance. Even though she could no longer see Razer, she still hoped for him in her heart.

Lei Zhe said he would see and reach a wider world, and he would encounter enemies who might kill him, but even knowing that they had a slim chance of survival, they would still move forward.

As the saying goes, "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die content in the evening." Lei Zhe has long since accepted everything about himself and everything he has to face.

Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, Rezer promises the King of Golden Nightmares that if he succeeds, he will do everything he can to help her reach a state where she can be 'free'.

Failure can also be a direct inheritance of one's legacy. Taking it as a reference, one can move forward according to the Golden Nightmare King's own will. Whether or not one moves towards a wider world depends entirely on oneself.

The King of Golden Nightmares couldn't refuse and accepted the possibility from Razer, waiting for a certain moment in the future to arrive.

--------

After calculating the time he could stay, he realized that the power Neptune had left in him was almost used up.

He was about to return to his own time and space. He had left a possibility with the King of Golden Nightmares and should use the power in his heart to go back.

However, Lei Zhe's spiritual sense suddenly felt an inexplicable attraction, and as if on a whim, he headed towards the unknown direction of chaos.

Before him, in this vast multiverse, he saw a familiar, pure white radiance.

"Honestly, I never expected to end up here..."
