The Great Genetic Era Chapter 2188: Rules

Chapter 2188: Rules

Looking at the Spiritual Race's Samsara Small Universe expeditionary army that had suddenly arrived, Ullr, who had originally thought that he had seized the initiative, suddenly smiled bitterly. He felt inexplicably tired.

He thought that he had seized the initiative, including the fact that he had recruited more than 5,000 elite ghost soldiers from Emperor Yin. This was something that Ullr was rather proud of. That included the fact that he had taken the red Marshal chess piece first. He was also rather smug.

However, from the looks of it, he had dug a hole for himself. These pits seemed to have been dug by him. If he had not pulled these able-bodied men over, he would not have been able to partic.i.p.ate in the Heavenly River Chessboard. He would not have had to fight one against three.

That's right, one against three.

Before this, Ullr had already ordered the Ghost Kings and the Ghost Commanders under him to place all the red flags on the chessboard.

Whether it was from a future choice or a standpoint, the elite expeditionary army of the Great Xi Clan, the Muyas, and the Spiritual Race would definitely play the black side, forming a three-on-one situation.

The Nine Satellites Planetary realm was an unavoidable problem. There were at least 150 Nine Satellites on Ullr's side.

How many elites of the Nine Satellites were there? There were at least 500 in each race. Ullr was confident that he could kill the other party if there's one. At the very least, both sides would suffer.

Unfortunately, there were 1,500 people at the Nine Satellites Planetary realm. Looking at the Samsara Small Universe expeditionary forces of the three races, other than the Nine Satellites, there were also the Eight Satellites. Their level of elites far exceeded the people of the Netherworld.

Under the combined efforts of the three races, Ullr's forces lost their numerical advantage. At this moment, Ullr suddenly thought of Xu Tui. He recalled the year when he followed Xu Tui into the small universe of the Heavenly Court. He had fought with the expeditionary forces of the three races for the four Origin Palaces on Ceres Star and had expeditioned to the Spiritual Race's Star Field twice.

To be honest, these battles were very suspenseful. It was as if they were dancing on the tip of a knife. However, Ullr was not tired at all.

Xu Tui, the commander, was in charge of all the things he was worried about. He was only responsible for following Xu Tui's orders and charging forward. He would then scheme to obtain some benefits. Then, he would cultivate with all his might.

At this moment, Ullr suddenly realized that the most comfortable times he had been in all these years were when he was with Xu Tui. Be it secretly interacting with the Spiritual Race to secretly develop the Myth Organization or sneaking into the Netherworld to obtain greater benefits, he was extremely tired.

Especially when he was in a desperate situation.

Yes, for a moment, Ullr felt that he was in a desperate situation.

Although the ten kings of the Netherworld said that the guiding rules of the Samsara Small Universe were still there, and they could still be revived in the Reincarnation Division after they died, they could not be sure if this was true. Moreover, if Ullr really died in the Reincarnation Division and only had his true spirit left, the Netherworld would definitely not simply revive him. There were plenty of ways to deal with him.

Signing the alliance under the city in a humiliating manner was already the best outcome. There was even a possibility of being enslaved.

Ullr suddenly missed Xu Tui.

On the Heavenly River Chessboard, Tu Hou felt a little helpless after observing the Heavenly River Chessboard and communicating with Qiao An and Lu Qi. He was too late and lost the initiative. If this was a chess game, the Spiritual Race would be very pa.s.sive.

The Black Chess General, who was sitting in the command position of the Central Palace, had been taken away by Lu Qi. The Great Xi Clan had also occupied the Black Chariots on the left. This was the most valuable chess piece other than the General chess piece.

Other than that, the Great Xi Clan had taken away two soldiers. Under such circ.u.mstances, the Great Xi Clan's military strength was at the back. Their losses in the future would be the least.

On the other hand, the Muyas occupied the Chariot, Horse, Cannon, and Advisor on the right. There were a total of 1,500 troops. This way, the entire right side of black pieces would be under the control of the Muyas. It would be safer and more strategic if their forces were gathered together.

What was left for the Spiritual Race was a cannon, a Horse, a minister, and three soldiers on the left. There were a total of 1,200 troops. Their main forces were all charging at the frontline. Once they fought, their Spiritual Race might suffer the greatest losses.

For a moment, the commander-in-chief of the Spiritual Race's expeditionary army, Tu Hou, had a gloomy expression. "Second Elder, you can actually place your piece first. We only know a preliminary plan and a war in our conventional sense. Since this Heavenly River Chessboard actually appears like this, and could prevent us from fighting privately in the form of rules, we can only enter the chess game to fight. I think that there are definitely other rules that we can use in this chess game. When the time comes, we might be able to find an advantage." When Xu Zhijia saw this situation, he was a little excited and eager.

Tu Hou glanced at Xu Zhijia. To be honest, it was impossible for Xu Zhijia to command directly. After all, Xu Zhijia was from the Great Elder's lineage. However, it was precisely because of this that they knew Xu Zhijia very well. In terms of war, Xu Zhijia was very talented. He could not erase all of his past battle records just because Xu Zhijia had failed twice. Moreover, as long as he was on the battlefield, Xu Zhijia would be purer. "Alright, I need a plan. Then, I'll choose the best!" These words were said by Tu Hou to the deputy commander, the fourth main elder, Dian Luo and Xu Zhijia.

Three minutes later, Xu Zhijia and Dian Luo each sent over a set of plans.

From Tu Hou's perspective, he could tell the pros and cons at a glance. Dian Luo's plan had selfish motives, in comparison, Xu Zhijia's proposal was more fair and pure. Then, Tu Hou adjusted the doc.u.ment of Xu Zhijia slightly and prepared to place his piece.

Before he placed his piece, Tu Hou negotiated with Lu Qi for a while. This was because their move was too pa.s.sive. Tu Hou wanted to fight for a promise or benefit. However, both Lu Qi and Qiao An laughed and did not agree.

They did not know how the battle of the Heavenly River Chessboard would begin next. How could they give such a promise?

He had also chosen his piece. He had no choice. Who asked the Spiritual Race to be late?

Tu Hou had actually been snubbed.

Just as Tu Hou was hesitating, a grand voice sounded in the mind of the Spiritual Race's Samsara Small Universe Expeditionary Force. "Those who have not placed their pieces in an hour will be forced to place their pieces when they exceed the time limit."

There was still a time limit.

Tu Hou's expression changed. He looked in the direction of the red chess piece. Unfortunately, the red chess piece did not have a single chess piece left. Otherwise, he could have chosen the red chess piece. That would have been exciting and would have broken the awkward situation in front of him.

However, there was too much uncertainty by doing that.

Three minutes later, Tu Hou was the first to fall into Horse piece. Xu Zhijia fell into the cannon chess piece, and Dian Luo fell into a p.a.w.n chess. The remaining chess pieces only allowed the Spiritual Race to place 1,200 chess pieces. The remaining 300 chess pieces landed on the side of the black chessboard.

The moment the Spiritual Race finished, countless lights suddenly flew up from the Heavenly River Chessboard and converged into a line of words in the sky. The chessboard was completed. The red side placed the piece first, so the red side attacked first. The battle would begin in a hundred seconds. The person who won the flag and killed the general would win!

The winner was the king, and the loser was the thief!

A tall flag was raised behind the general and marshal of both sides. It was black and white.

The light of the words dissipated and landed on the chessboard below. Xu Tui, who was a commander of soldiers, suddenly realized that the chessboard in front of him had suddenly become three-dimensional.

An indescribable restriction landed on his hundred people. A piece of information entered his mind, allowing him to instantly understand.

Rules!

The rules of the Heavenly River Chessboard! Of course, this chess game only told Xu Tui the rules of chess. [Rule 1: There is no retreat in chess. One slot for every step!] [Rule 2: If the marshal gives the order, it has to be carried out. Those who disobey the order will be killed.] [Rule 3: If the marshal does not give the order, you can act according to the rules.] [Rule 4: When you encounter the enemy, please fight to the end. If you defeat the chess master, you will lose the most precious thing for the winner to choose!]

The rules were simple. The first was basically like xiangqi. The second and third were different. The fourth was the rules of war and punishment. What was the most precious thing? How could he define this? The commander-in-chief had given the order?

Xu Tui did not understand this. Soon, he quickly communicated with the Red Tiger Ghost

King, the Stone Bearer Ghost King, the Three-Eyed Ghost King, and the others who had fused into different chess pieces. He had a basic understanding of the rules of the entire chessboard, other than the rules of the commander-in-chief.

In fact, most chess pieces had four rules. The first rule was similar to xiangqi. For example, the first rule of the Chariot that the Red Tiger Ghost King had fused into: The Chariot charge. As long as there was nothing wrong, they could move around in the chess game.

Rule 2 was the same as Rule 3 and Rule 4. The rules of the other chess pieces were the same. Rule 1 explained the mobility rules. Rule 2 and 3 were mainly aimed at the commander's orders. Only the advisor had five rules. The fifth rule of the two advisors was: If the commander-in-chief died in battle, the advisors would be annihilated!

This rule was really ruthless. Although the rules were basically clear, there were still many things that were unclear.

For example, what did this annihilation mean? Was it to annihilate the mental body and leave only the true spirit behind to be guided away by the rules? Or was it to truly kill his true spirit?

It would be fine if it was the former, but if it was the latter, the nature would be different. Also, what exactly was the situation with the commander-in-chief's orders? Could the commander-in-chief order every chess piece at the same time, or was it limited?

Or?

What about the rules when the two chess pieces met? It did not say it explicitly, but it should be a battle of strength. This might be the intention of the Heavenly River Chessboard. Otherwise, they would have just played chess.

This Heavenly River Chess Game only depended on command and soldier abilities. While Xu

Tui was thinking about his guess, Ullr and Lu Qi, who had placed their pieces, had different expressions.

Lu Qi was happy.

The authority of the general was indeed extraordinary.

The fifth rule of the General: You can command a chess piece to move with the rules of the chess game every round. Whether it's killing, fighting, trading, or blocking, as long as it's within the rules, the chess piece can only execute it. If it refuses to be executed, it will be killed.

Under this rule, Lu Qi could command the main forces of the Muyas and the Spiritual Race to charge forward. Although he could only command one chess piece in a round, it was enough. Under such circ.u.mstances, Ullr could not smile. This was because in Ullr's opinion, all the red chess pieces had been placed by his troops. There was a 99% chance that they would accept his command. Rule 5 was not very useful to him, but it was very useful to the enemy.

What made Ullr even more dejected was the sixth rule of chess: If you were killed and your flag seized, you would lose the two most precious things. This should be a punishment rule, but this rule was exceptionally terrifying.

What would the two most precious things be? Power? Or something else?

This rule also made Lu Qi tremble in fear. He could not lose. The loss if they lost was immeasurable. If what he was thinking was true, the loss was something he could not withstand. However, at the same time, the seventh rule of chess also made Ullr and Lu Qi look forward to it.

Of course, the prerequisite for reaching the seventh rule was to win!

The winner was the king!
