"It seems her consciousness has descended here, while her true body, far away, has fallen into a deep slumber. This is the only way she can write letters and send them back through a spatial tunnel to prepare for battle." Xu Zhi paused for a few seconds.

Knock, knock, knock!Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"I'm coming in," the little fox Hu Haihan habitually called out, even though she knew that inside were only a scholar who knew nothing but books and her sister Mo Qiuli, who was surely asleep.

In the Wizarding World, the Underworld was quiet and peaceful. It was known as the resting place of the dead, the most mysterious, sacred, and terrifying place in the entire world. Countless mortals viewed it with fear and deep reverence.

Here lay the crossroads of life, 'Erebus,' where the dead were divided according to the good and evil they committed in life. All who were kind, humble, and harmonious would proceed to 'Elysium,' the place of happiness. All who were tyrannical, arrogant, and wicked would descend into 'Tartarus,' the realm of suffering. All karmic debts were repaid here.

In the distance, the Cocytus flowed, and the wails of numerous souls echoed from the River of Pain. Ermine strolled through the Fields of Truth, where fiery red cluster amaryllis flowers bloomed everywhere, stunningly beautiful, like a realm of immortals.

The entire land of the Underworld was now immensely vast. Ancient monarch emperors cultivated here, emanating terrifying and boundless aura.

"Medusa..." Ermine smiled, her slender, pale fingers gently spread, retrieving a letter from thin air. "It's here, as expected. That deity is too powerful. For a lower deity to be able to fight me, a mid-tier deity, we must understand their world and system before we can prepare for war and notify the epic professionals in the mortal empires."

"Another war," she thought. Her eyes glazed over, as if recalling the Babylonian Wizarding Mythological Era a thousand years ago, when she, still Emperor Ermine, waged war against the evil witch.

She returned to her simple, thatched-roof room, sat down at her desk, and slowly opened the letter.

Inside the letter, Medusa recounted her observations from the past few days. She detailed everything, including the seasonal divisions, the laws of heaven and earth, the immortal and mortal realms, the celestial beings who governed the sun and moon, the history of the Western Epoch, the current state of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how Hu Renlong established the Divine Path, as well as the origin of that deity, the Dao Lord.

Medusa gave a general account and, at the end, appended the insights, conjectures, and questions of this world's "Hundred Scholar." The amount written was surprisingly extensive. The letter briefly explained the origin and process of the premonition, then stated:

[When I first saw him, I felt he wasn't a living being. After studying his composition, I confirmed he was like a mirrored projection, even defining him as a natural reflection formed by accumulated rules, similar to Mercury, the God of Wisdom in our world, who symbolizes wisdom... except he has no self-awareness.]

[However, after four days of interaction, patiently answering each other's questions, and my studying every night and asking several questions, I grew increasingly shocked. The origin of this being holds other secrets, far beyond what you or I can imagine. I probed for several days, and it took a long time to deduce and grasp some terrifying secrets, gaining a slight insight into his true nature. I am sharing this with you, hoping you can offer your opinion.]

[First, he is not confined to the Ancient Wilderness World; he knows the rules and knowledge of our Wizarding World and even other worlds. I fear this ancient, unknown entity has been wandering through countless realms, having already resided in our Wizarding World, living simply and freely as he does now, dedicating himself solely to reading. We simply never noticed. He possesses all the wisdom of our Wizarding Era and even the Potion Era.]

[He roams all realms, knows everything, yet has no self-awareness, acting like a learning projection, continuously absorbing knowledge from every world. This already far surpasses the scope of understanding we two have accumulated over thousands of years.]

[After several more days and nights of continuous question and answer, the problems grew increasingly profound. Yesterday, I asked him: "How can I achieve godhood?" He did not answer. I then asked several more difficult questions: "The secret of Pangu's true body?" "The Dao Lord's cultivation method?" He answered none.]

[At first, I thought he didn't know, perhaps having traveled to few worlds or not having deep knowledge of them. But then I inadvertently asked: "Where did Emperor Qi of this world go?" He was able to answer.]

[Ermine, ever since arriving in this Ancient Wilderness World, I've become increasingly certain that the Creator God is not unique. Born from the void, at the dawn of chaos, beyond space, dimension, and causality, we two once saw a Creator God of the Fourth Order, while the Creator God who descended upon this world was of the Sixth Order; they were not the same avatar. Yet, the Hundred Scholar answered with meticulous detail, as if he was there at the time, observing the Creator God and recording his words and actions.]

[He even recounted the conversation between Heavenly Emperor Longhong and the god at that time: "The Ruin of Return is real; the myriad worlds are illusory. The myriad worlds stand upon the Ruin of Return, like pebbles inlaid upon boundless earth. From the Ruin of Return, one sees the mysteries of heaven and earth, capable of manifesting the Three Vehicles of Teaching and perfecting all subtle phenomena."]

Capable of manifesting the Three Vehicles of Teaching and perfecting all subtle phenomena!

Sitting in her hut in the Underworld, Ermine's mind reeled as she read this. With a strangely complex and excited heart, a feeling she hadn't experienced in centuries, she immediately unfolded an attached page from the letter. On it, the game of Go was explained, along with its rules and essential principles.

With a wave of her hand, the ground solidified into a square, gray-black stone board, and black and white stones fell onto it.

"The board is the earth, the stones are the heavens!"

Enthralled, she picked up a stone from the board, closed her eyes slightly, and astonishingly entered a state of meditation. This meditation lasted for a full day and night. Gradually, two ethereal figures seemed to appear on the board, playing against each other.

At this moment, Ermine felt as if the stones on the board before her, encircling and attacking each other, were both straightforward and strategically risky. In their fierce struggle, they seemed to transform into the sun, into wind and clouds, into sudden rain, into solid earth, into the boundless starry sky...

The Ruin of Return as the board, the world as the pieces.

In just a few days of deduction, her Go skills surpassed those of any human on Earth, even reaching the level of an artificial intelligence Go program. After an unknown period, Ermine slowly opened her eyes, as if she had comprehended something profound. This path of Go indeed contained certain rules, the fundamental principles of heaven and earth.

"The Go board is simple and unadorned, with pieces upon it. 129,600 great chiliocosm worlds. This number represents a 'Yuan,' an epoch, signifying a great calamity..."

She became completely solemn, feeling a chill run down her spine, and continued to read the letter without pause:

[The Hundred Scholar recounted the strongest Heavenly Emperor's conversation with the Creator God, detailing every minute aspect as if he had been present. He is currently learning beside me as I write, yet my heart still trembles with disbelief.]

[He once again overturned my conjectures about the height of his existence; he is unfathomable. If he can even interact with and listen to the Creator God, perhaps he is already some form of world-traveling rule. How could he not know the method for me to achieve godhood? The secret of Pangu's Golden Body? The Dao Lord's cultivation method?]

[I probed him several more times and discovered that this man only answers basic questions, not profound ones, as if leaving you to deduce the rest yourself. This seems related to his continuous learning, a natural phenomenon. He doesn't grant you complete mastery but provides the fundamentals for joint exploration. He is like a natural phenomenon, a mirrored projection, a projection of some law? A world observer created by the Creator? Does he study, wander, and observe worlds one by one?]

[The Hundred Scholar's existence, spanning countless realms and traversing world after world, is something neither of us can fully investigate or comprehend. It far surpasses our imagination, utterly mysterious and unfathomable, astonishing. Yet, he is undoubtedly a supreme treasure. Without self-centered greed, anger, ignorance, or hatred, he is the best Daoist companion, accompanying me on the path to seek truth. I have already claimed him as my own, making him my personal possession. Having obtained him, I feel as if I have seen the true path forward.]

[Capable of manifesting the Three Vehicles of Teaching and perfecting all subtle phenomena, the Way of the Chessboard implicitly aligns with the truth and illusion of the Ruin of Return and the myriad worlds. It is exquisitely profound and unfathomable. I hope you research this point carefully; you might find significant gains. I invited the Earth Mother Qing Teng, whom he designed, to play Go with me. She was initially very weak but then angrily declared she would invite AlphaGo to make a move, as if divinely aided. Although she took a long time to place each stone, she truly played me to a standstill. After only a few days of contemplation, I gained immense benefit. The path ahead is now clear, with no more mist, and I have seen my unique path to godhood!]

[I am increasingly certain that the Hundred Scholar is not truly ignorant but simply wants me to learn from the basics. From the truth and illusion of the Ruin of Return that he provided, I have already comprehended my own path to godhood. The chessboard is real, the pieces are illusory. Upon it are 129,600 great chiliocosm worlds, and my own body is also formed from the convergence of 120,000 evil god organizations. The two subtly align... Perhaps I can transform myself into the chessboard, embodying 129,600 pieces, transforming them into 120,000 Dao Fruits, and residing above the ethereal sky.]

Ermine held the letter in a daze, having read the last paragraph that left her utterly shaken.
