Has Liu Zixuan truly died as they said?
The answer is, of course, no.
He was drawn into that vortex, but it didn't lead him into the unstable turbulence of the Hundred Realms Map; rather, it took him to a very hidden place within it.
This is an extremely quiet little courtyard.
In the courtyard, there are two small cottages, a small pavilion with a stone table and two stone stools inside, and on the table is an unfinished game of chess.
Liu Zixuan slowly walked over, looking at the current state of the chess pieces, he touched his chin and smiled, "Neither side has pieces that crossed the river, what's left is just a general and a marshall, a scholar and an elephant, it's a stalemate."
He didn't know the meaning of the chessboard's presence there, so he didn't touch it and turned toward the two cottages.
