Since Jiang Yikang became the Venerable of the Three Realms, nothing had truly disturbed him, but upon hearing Hongjun's mention of "Human-Chess Unity," the long-dormant unease resurfaced.
Yet, he couldn't discern the source of this anxiety.
At this moment, although he intended to replace Wang Yan, seeing Wang Yan already seated at the stone table, he could only suppress his unease and look at the two.
Now, Wang Yan was carefully surveying the chessboard before him.
Back on the Three Principles Mountain, the Dragon Emperor Zuo Hong had taught Wang Yan numerous times, exploring arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Thus, upon seeing this chess game, Wang Yan immediately comprehended it.
Wang Yan then smiled and said, "Though the chess game is complex, it also has many flaws. Sir, will you play black or white?"
Hongjun shrugged and said blandly, "Of course, the choice is yours. Whether black or white, you make the first move."
