#1225 - Chapter 1225 The Mortal Wise
“Why not?”
Seeing the Abyss Overlord appear in the deepest part of his will, all of Wu Wei's fears vanished.
Because of wandering for too long, Wu Wei had already lost many emotions.
The current him is much calmer and more indifferent than he was in the past.
“What kind of game do you want to play?”
As someone who liked playing chess in his youth, Wu Wei had learned a little about most of the chess techniques in this world.
So, facing the Abyss Overlord's “invitation”, Wu Wei did not refuse at all.
“Anything is fine.”
“But my suggestion is, wouldn't it be better if we tried each one?”
The Abyss Overlord smiled slightly, then waved his hand.
The next second, Wu Wei was surprised to find that he had come to the other party's side and sat down.
Moreover, between himself and the other party, there was also an extremely exquisite chessboard, engraved with Abyss symbols.
This chessboard was a common reflection of the thinking of this Abyss Overlord and the Abyss Lord.
However, although this chessboard was engraved with various Abyss symbols, the problem was that these so-called Abyss symbols appeared on both sides of the chessboard in an extremely incompatible manner.
Because the two people playing chess were, in themselves....
“Incompatible” existences.
The two extremes of the three natures of the soul!
——————————
“Okay.”
Wu Wei smiled and took out a chess piece.
“My move first?”
“Anything is fine.”
The Abyss Overlord said indifferently.
“Then I'll go first.”
Pa.
Wu Wei placed his chess piece on the chessboard, and then, imitating the Abyss Overlord, he conjured an hourglass out of thin air and placed it aside, indicating that the other party should make their move before the hourglass ran out.
That's right, even though it was just a fleeting glance.
But the current Wu Wei also understood something.....
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
As time passed.
This chess game between Wu Wei and the Abyss Overlord became longer and longer.
Because these two, one possessing absolute rational thinking, and the other possessing an indescribable talent.
So the performance of these two in the chess game can almost be said to be extremely terrifying.
The chessboard between the two also expanded from the previous half-table size to half-city size.
In this dense black and white battle, Wu Wei and the other party were fighting extremely fiercely.
Although neither of them explained the rules, the meaning of no rules is often that both sides must completely fight to the death, with no draws.
This point.
Wu Wei knew.
The Abyss Overlord naturally knew as well.
————————————————
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
Time continued to pass.
I don't know how long time has passed, maybe a thousand years, or ten thousand years.
Or perhaps, time has passed an era.
The first game between the two is still continuing.
Although the two have never said a word.
But the chess game between the two has expanded to an unimaginably large scale, and both are still playing, until....
“I lost.”
“You... won.”
After countless simulations and calculations, the Abyss Overlord put his chess piece back in his hand, and said with a smile on his face.
Although the Abyss Overlord's chess pieces were not much different from Wu Wei's on the chessboard.
But the problem is, the ending had already been decided.
——————————
“Very impressive.”
“You saw through my layout and took precautions from the beginning.”
“Was this a trap set against me from the beginning?”
The Abyss Overlord removed the chessboard, and the two once again sat face to face.
“No.”
Wu Wei shook his head very honestly.
“I never discovered your trap, I didn't even discover the so-called trap.”
“Then how did you do all this?”
The Abyss Overlord asked curiously.
“I just, played each of my moves well.”
Wu Wei said with a smile.
“I never consider the so-called traps, I only know that playing each chess piece well will win the final game.”
“This is a.....”
“A principle taught to me by a wise man.”
The Abyss Overlord shook his head with a smile.
“The wise man you speak of should only be a mortal wise man.”
“Because only mortals would think like this.”
“That's right!”
Wu Wei looked at the other party.
“But a mortal wise man is also a wise man.”
“Because they know that their lifespan is too short to see the ending after thousands of years, so....”
A pair of eyes like crosshairs met those eyes with black and red vortexes.
“Mortal wise men will always do everything they can.”
“They will not put their hope in the future, because, without the present, there is no so-called future!”
“.....”
The smile on the Abyss Overlord's face remained, but he did not respond immediately.
“What you said makes sense.”
“Then, shall we continue?”
A new chess game began.
And Wu Wei also noticed one thing at this time.
That is, the Abyss Overlord, who was deeply rooted in the depths of his will in front of him, had dimmed after the failure of the chess game.
