The Almighty Dragon General

With such strength, surely they could take on the Dark World, thought James. Though he had been to the Dark World before, he
only reached the outer perimeters and did not venture into the depths. He only knew that the Dark World was powerful, and that
there were many powerful figures residing in the depths. However, he could not put his finger on the exact strength of the Dark
World. He was merely stunned by the power of the powerful figures gathered here and thought that they would be able to fight
against the Dark World.
"Welcome to the Ancestral Holy Site."
The Omnipotent Lord's voice boomed.
"I, the Omnipotent Lord, welcome you on behalf of the First Universe. Here, we shall discuss the consolidation of the twelve
universes. This is the most glorious gathering in the history of the twelve universes. After this gathering, the twelve universes will
merge into one. This is a pivotal moment in history that will go down in the annals."
The Omnipotent Lord's voice reverberated throughout the area.
"Please ascend."
The Omnipotent Lord pointed to the sky. At that moment, an illusory illustration appeared in the sky, in which there were many
grids enveloped in a mysterious power.
"The Chessboard of Heaven and Earth!"
"The unparalleled treasure of the First Universe."
"What's going on? Aren't we going to discuss the consolidation of the twelve universes? Why did he summon the Chessboard of
Heaven and Earth? Are we going to discuss the Path?"
Many Macrocosm Ancestral Gods exclaimed.
James' gaze was fixed on the mysterious chessboard in the air as his expression turned grim.
Beside him, Quanesha explained, "This is the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth of the First Universe."
James asked, "What's it for?"

Quanesha said, "It's for discussing the Path. Once you reach the Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank, a single attack of yours could
potentially destroy the universe. So, if you wish to settle a feud, you will fight against your opponent on the Chessboard of
Heaven and Earth based on your mastery of the Paths."
James looked at the chessboard in the sky.
The chessboard was bizarre, and every grid was connected to the other.
Quanesha continued, "The Chessboard of Heaven and Earth renders Heaven and Earth as a battlefield. Each grid is a
battlefield, and to get to the center of the region, you need to have a high compression of the Paths."
She pointed at a bizarre-looking red line.
"Do you see that red line? Only those who have cultivated Macrocosm Power may enter. Otherwise, you will be barred from
entry."
Quanesha briefly explained.
"In any case, once you ascend the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth, you will be engaged in a fierce fight based on the
comprehension of your Path. However, this fight will not have any bearing on the real world."
Hearing this, James' expression turned grim. He never thought that the Omnipotent Lord would do such a thing. Once James
ascended the chessboard, his true strength would be exposed, and all his efforts would be for naught.
"Please ascend the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth."
The Omnipotent Lord's voice boomed once more.
"The twelve universes have never discussed the Path before. Now that every powerful figure has gathered here, this is only
natural. By conversing and interacting with each other, we will reach even greater heights. So, we will discuss the consolidation
of the universe once we have discussed the Path."
Hearing this, many soared to the sky and landed on the Chessboard.
Some Caelum Ancestral Gods appeared on the outer perimeters of the chessboard, whereas the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods
arrived somewhere closer to the center.

James' expression grew increasingly grim. However, now that things had come to this, he had no other choice but to ascend.
