With a crisp sound, the white piece landed in the center of the chessboard, and as the spirit light flickered, the rest of the pieces were scattered, leaving dozens of black pieces around the edges.
"It seems the situation has indeed reached the point that Friend Daoist mentioned..."
Emperor Xuan withdrew his hand and raised his head to look at Fang Zhi: "If it truly follows your words, we almost have no chance of victory, right?
Even a newly ascended emperor, lacking proficient mastery in divine arts, is not something that the King Level can handle... regardless of the number, a few or tens!
To us, numbers have a negligible impact, in the domain, ordinary measures cannot even harm an Emperor Level one bit."
Emperor Xuan’s gaze deepened, and Taishang Sect agreed to the alliance, precisely due to Fang Zhi’s persuasion.
Yet at that time Fang Zhi hadn’t said that Emperor Level would appear in Chaotic Star Domain!
Since Emperor Xuan was of Emperor Level, he and the Chess Emperor clearly understood that the chasm between King Level and Emperor Level was not something mere numbers could bridge.
Even if the Blue Sea Alliance’s army were to reach the final battle unscathed, facing the Emperor Level poses a great disadvantage since among hundreds, those who can truly damage the Emperor Level number less than a handful!
Fang Zhi slightly shook her head: "The heavenly mechanism is not to be revealed, had I disclosed it to Your Majesty or other fellow Daoists because of my insight, the result wouldn’t be as it is now."
Fang Zhi did not deny indeed she had long foreseen.
However, divination involves numerous transformations of heavenly mechanism, cause and effect, karmic obstacles, naturally cannot be disclosed to others.
Not saying is fine, but cannot speak mistakenly;
One can act, but cannot incite others to act.
Once the heavenly mechanism is leaked, the backlash to Fang Zhi herself is secondary. In this battle within Chaotic Star Domain, Taishang Sect, as the head of Daoist Sect, might not fully commit with the Tai Chi Diagram.
Even the Demon Sky Palace, or other major sects and factions might withdraw and seek independent retreat.
Thereby, the Southern Continent and even the entire Blue Sea Realm cannot join forces wholeheartedly, struggling hard to reach the battle place and defeating the Eight Divine Generals is tough, much less facing the possible appearance of a New Emperor.
The Blue Sea Realm, almost certain defeat!
Only uniting the strength of the Four Seas, merging the will of the world, with a determination of a last-stand fight, one’s preparation might assist all at the crucial moment.
Fang Zhi continued: "Currently, in Chaotic Star Domain, is gathered the peak King Level from the three lands of our Blue Sea Realm, along with powerful divine artifacts from various factions.
If Blue Sea Realm might indeed have a chance of reverse attacking Emperor Level in the now or future...
Then, this is the greatest opportunity!"
Emperor Xuan pondered shortly, then waved his sleeve: "Enough, we’ve come this far."
Emperor Xuan remained fairly aloof; by now, there was no turning back. Or say, Emperor Xuan understood Fang Zhi spoke truthfully.
If truly aware of a New Emperor existing inside Chaotic Domain and this battle was "certain defeat", Taishang Sect might actually seek another retreat.
Emperor Xuan tapped a chess piece lightly, his gaze fell on the chessboard: "Since the heavenly mechanism is glimpsed, facing the situation of many kings against a New Emperor, Fellow Daoist Fang Zhi surely has other arrangements, right?"
Fang Zhi did not respond, slightly bent down and reached out to pick up a chess piece.
However, what Fang Zhi retrieved was not her own black piece, but Emperor Xuan’s white piece.
"Tap."
The piece fell, landing beside the white piece in the center of the board.
And when Fang Zhi withdrew her hand, it flashed suddenly transformed into black.
Emperor Xuan’s eyes flickered, immediately realizing: "Secret piece?"
Fang Zhi nodded slightly, saying: "A newly ascended Emperor Level, strength formidable, yet may not have grasped too many divine skills, their greatest reliance currently against King Level is the domain.
If a flaw in the domain can be made, then it may not be impossible to turn the tide and overpower!"
As Fang Zhi spoke, her elegant tone carried a trace of poignant chill.
Evidently, as a strong Emperor Level, this stunningly built, gentle and elegant black-robed woman was not as warm and mild as she appeared superficially.
Upon hearing, Emperor Xuan lifted his hand to take this secret piece, his eyes sparkled, instantly understanding the cause and effect within.
"If this is the case, it indeed offers a glimmer of hope..." Emperor Xuan pondered, nodding, with a touch of surprise on his face, "Just didn’t expect, you laid this chess piece so deep."
