Summary

The world is like a chessboard.

“I do not want to be treated as a chess piece by the players!”

Defeat in this chess is tantamount to the destruction of my body and I’ll thoroughly disappear! Victory in this chess and I’ll have a very long life!

With the help of an ancient Weiqi piece, Gu Hai arrived at the Divine Province Mainland!

Heavenly Dao is eternal, however life is limited, making heaven and earth pieces of a chessboard, then in the end transformed into a loess, vanishing like faded smoke and scattered clouds. Nevertheless people still jump out of the chessboard, and these people are already prepared for their death while playing chess against the heavens, and perhaps win eternal life for themselves?

“I’ve come, and I want to live through 10,000 lives without any boundaries!”

    This novel is a mix of Investiture of The Gods and modern xianxia. Pretty much everything in the novel is recycled from either Investiture of The Gods or modern xianxias like BTTH and honestly it does neither well, aside from the very beginning of the novel which is really good. The plot evolves with people being captured and Gu Hai rescuing them over and over again, that or him helping them with something. There's quite literally nothing else aside from what happens in between when he's doing one of those two things — sometimes both simultaneously, believe it or not. I didn't bother to count, but I'm pretty sure people got captured over 20 times in less than 500 chapters... Sometimes he rescues someone and they get captured again right after. No, I'm not joking. His personality is basically "being smart" and "being good", but his "being smart" is just an overly-forced plot armor which is cool at the beginning, but gets old quite fast because it feels way too forced.

        Indeed. As I said before though, the beginning is really really good. Until idk, chapter 150 (?) so I would still recommend reading until then. Probably... But after that it's just the mc being a self righteous dummy rescuing captured women over and over again. That and the author claiming him to be some galaxy brain chad, but in reality he keeps making stupid decisions and going through pointless conflicts that could easily be solved with one or two words

        Nah I’ll pass, recommend me some good cultivation novel or simply a power scaling novel with a not so righteous and stupid Mc if you’ve got any, I’ve almost read all the good ones, thanks.

        Probably pointless for me to recommend most good ones then... Last one I've read is Tales of Herding Gods, it's nice

      Without spoilers? Excellent world and character building. Superb translation including explanations of idioms. Many cultural/historical (chinese) references. MC and underlying story that does not follow most of the tropes. Out of all the novels I have read I would say this is in the top 5%. And that includes every single one here if you search by rating or ranking. (Top 100 or 50 at the time of this comment.) That said. I am dropping this excellent series. i.e. I don't mind tragedy...but I prefer more of an upside in my reading. I may take it up again though, after I buy enough chocolate and ice cream for a mood boost.

    This has to be one of the most chinese novels in existence. Only thing more chinese I can think of is probably Mount Hua Sect. It barely has anything inspired by the western world. I personally found it quite funny.

      I'm sorry but what did you mean by that? Minimal Western (aka xuanhuan) influence? Period piece? Historical? Cultural /contextual humor? Extremely nationalistic?

        Maybe I should've worded it differently since multiple people seem to have misunderstood it 😭😭😭 I wasn't trying to sound detrimental or anything. I just found the fact that it reminded me of a lot of chinese novels and clichés quite amusing.

      This is a chinese novel though. So I don't get what you are saying

        You misunderstood me bro. The novel just has a lot of chinese clichés and almost no western influence at all. All the names also exude chinese literature, and everything in the novel just reminds me of other chinese novels I've read. I wasn't trying to be noxious or anything, just found it slightly amusing :)

        I also was not trying to be sarcastic bro, I literally don't understand what you were trying to say lol. Now I understand what you mean. Well this is written by a Chinese author and you know how are these authors. They rarely mention western culture and if they mention they only criticize it
