With half a game of chess, I vanquish all demons!

"I will love you for a thousand years, ten thousand years, forever and ever!"

"Me too."

Beside the farmland, in the courtyard, with Him as witness, Vicci and Mary clasped hands, looked into each other's eyes, and made a vow from the bottom of their hearts to be together for life.

Bless you.

He gazed upon the newlyweds, raised his hand, and sent two streams of primordial energy flowing into their bodies.

Then, His figure gradually faded and disappeared from the spot.

……

Two years later.

Sensing Wei Ji's wish, He stopped moving forward, revealed His form outside the courtyard, and was about to enter when He suddenly paused and looked at something.

A statue of a deity was erected in the courtyard.

That was a life-size statue that Vizier and Maria sculpted for him.

Wei Ji, who was busy cooking, had just stepped out of the main room when he saw Him in the courtyard.

He was overjoyed, stepped forward, grabbed His hand, and pulled Him into the house.

"Gods, come quickly! Our child has been born! What should we name him? Please help us choose a name..."

"He is your child, and the first child to come into this world. Let's name him Wei Lai."

"Wei Lai, what a great name! Hahaha~, my son will be named Wei Lai from now on!"

……

Six years later,

He sensed Wei Ji's wish, stopped time moving forward, and revealed himself in the courtyard.

By this time, many new humans had fallen into this world, and Wei Ji and Maria, the two pioneers, naturally became their leaders.

Their child, Wei Lai, is already six years old.

"Are you some kind of celestial uncle who's here to play with me?"

A little blond child was observing ants playing on the ground when he looked up and saw Him suddenly appear in the yard. Instead of being scared, he excitedly took short steps and ran to Him.

"Where is your father? He called me here, but I cannot find him."

"My father just left; he's busy with something. He specially asked Uncle Fairy to come and keep me company."

"..."

He looked at the little one in front of him and was speechless at Wei Ji. No wonder he didn't dare to say what his wish was this time. He was treating him like a babysitter.

He crouched down and kindly asked Wei Lai:

"So what do you want to play?"

"I want to play...this!"

Wei Lai, looking rather sly, pretended to ponder and stretched out his little hand, pointing to the two discs behind His head.

"Okay, but Wei Lai has to behave well."

"Yes, I'll definitely be good in the future."

Faced with Wei Lai's cunning, He smiled kindly, took the sun halo and moon disc from behind his head, and handed them to Wei Lai.

Wei Lai took them, first excitedly placing the two plates behind his head to float, then holding them in his hands and examining them over and over, finally simply suspending the moon plate parallel to the ground, sitting on it, holding the sun halo in his hand, flying around it, extremely happy.

"Wow, it can fly! Hehehe~"

……

Ten years later.

Sensing Wei Lai's wish, He stopped moving forward, revealed His form in the distance outside the courtyard, concealed His radiance, removed the sun halo and wore it as a ring, removed the moon disc and transformed it into a flower basket full of gifts, and walked step by step into the bustling Wei family home.

Wei Lai is sixteen years old, and today is his wedding day. As the uncle of the gods, He was naturally invited as well.

"Hey, who's this? Is he someone who just fell in? I've never seen him before."

"Never mind that, it's a joyous occasion, let's drink! Let's drink!"

……

Two years later.

When Wei Lai's son was born, He appeared and bestowed upon him two strands of primordial energy, naming the child Wei Zeng.

……

Five years later.

At Wei Ji's request, He taught him the Warrior's Breathing Technique. Although it did not have the same effect as when he ascended to the upper realm, it could draw upon divine power to help him regain his former vigor.

……

Ten years later.

As more and more people fell into this realm, conflicts intensified, and the people who were originally gathered in one place split into several tribes.

Some atheistic young people did not believe Wei Ji's statement that "this world is desolate and there is no other life except here," nor did they believe in gods. They wanted to leave this place to explore the world, but Wei Ji forcibly stopped them.

As a conflict was about to erupt, Wei Ji, whose face was etched with wrinkles and whose body was aging, helplessly called out to Him.

bang~

The thunderous drums roared.

His figure appeared behind the mountain in the form of a giant jade-armored god, towering between heaven and earth.

"sky……"

"There really are gods..."

The young atheists were shaken to their core. Gazing up at the colossal figure, they were so terrified that their bodies went limp, and some even collapsed to the ground, unable to contain themselves.

This incident came to an end with the collapse of the worldview of a large number of atheistic young people.

……

Twenty years later.

Wei Ji lay on the bed, looking terribly old, his life nearing its end.

"A deity has arrived? You're still the same, haha~, haven't changed a bit..."

Wei Ji's eyesight was failing, and he vaguely saw His unique figure, which instinctively filled him with joy and a sense of security.

"Thinking about my life, what have I done to deserve divine protection and a virtuous wife by my side? How wonderful, how wonderful! I am content, truly content. Maria is waiting for me down there; I must hurry and find her, she's getting impatient..."

His voice gradually weakened, and he stopped breathing.

He did not ask to live longer, nor did he make any wishes for his next life.

Just as he said, he was content; he was truly content.

As Wei Ji died, the room was filled with wailing.

His figure slowly faded from the house, and he walked out of the courtyard alone, gazing at this world that was now teeming with life.

Time is truly merciless.

The passage of time blurs vows of eternal love and makes us forget the grand ambitions of yesterday, causing us to turn to ashes and vanish.

He was always walking through time. In his perception, Wei Ji's life was but a day, but the sadness of losing his friend was genuine.

……

Thirty years later.

Wei Lai passed away.

He stood before Wei Lai's tomb, speechless for a moment.

The doll that He gave a name to, the doll that called Him "Uncle God," was also taken away by time.

The Wei family knew that He would leave this world one day, so for many years, they never summoned Him again unless it was a matter of life and death.

He also knew that unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to get too involved in this world, otherwise they would not be able to survive without the ability to be independent after He was gone, so He followed this tacit understanding.

Moreover, within the Jade Chess set, divine power has already accumulated seven layers of flame, so His need for this item is no longer so urgent.

"Gods have their own things to do; we must be the masters of our own lives."

—The Wei Family Motto

From then on, He appeared in this world less and less often.

The mortals in the settlement have named this place "Shanyang Tribe," and everything is slowly returning to how it was when He first descended into this world.

……

Five hundred years later.

Ordinary people no longer remember that there really are gods, and the Wei family has always kept in mind their family precepts and never summoned His figure. Only the family tradition of routinely worshipping the statue in the square has not been neglected.

Today, the statue has weathered beyond recognition.

In the Shanyang tribe, new people from another world have fallen into the territory. Under the leadership of these newcomers wielding guns, the Wei family, who have always been the leaders, have had their power usurped.

The new leader refused to believe the world was lifeless and began ordering the tribe to dig into the hard earth, hoping to find moist soil and more evidence of a life-bearing planet.

In the process of digging into the earth, ordinary people were gradually infected by an invisible power hidden in a certain stone.

They gained the ability to manipulate objects with their minds, and ugly growths began to appear frequently on their bodies.

Amidst the fear and rage brought about by the supernatural abilities and the hideous body, the new chieftain was killed, and the tribe split once again...

Five hundred years later.

He stepped out of time, and his figure reappeared beside the statue in the square.

noon.

In the Shanyang tribe, people came to the flat square, chatting and working. Suddenly, someone stood up and looked up at the sky.

"What is that?"

A humanoid object, accompanied by a deafening roar, descended from the sky and headed straight for this place, drawing the people of the Shanyang tribe to gather here, all looking up and discussing it.
