Chapter 1224: Rule

Inside Boat of Mausoleum, all the stereoscopic phantoms glowed in different colors.

Luo Feng, Deer Bug Master, Sorcerer Sprite Master, and Shadow Dust Master all walked to the phantoms and stood in front of the stone pillars. They penetrated their godly power into the phantoms to study them.

Even though I’ve lived longer than them, my brain might work faster, Deer Bug Master thought.

Shadow, Sorcerer, and Lu Feng could feel the sense of hostility and competition in the air, though none of them spoke a word. They were the first ones here for the inheritance. They had the best chance.

Inside the miniature universe of Huge Axe Creator.

Around a section of land were whirlpools and black mist that seemed to be destroying the world. Luo Feng sat at the top of the mountain with his legs crossed, watching the whirlpools in the distance. His finger pointed to the space, and traces of godly power penetrated it and formed a complex stereoscopic phantom.

“How amazing! Such a complicated Rhinoceros Emperor Game! I’ve been trying to comprehend it for a while, but I have no idea how it works. What are the rules of this game?”

Luo Feng hadn’t played any game seriously before. While still living on Earth, he’d been trying to better his life and the lives of his family. After he became a warrior, he had never had a chance to relax. However, now that he was standing among the most powerful beings in the original universe, he started to study the most popular game from an ancient civilization. He was very curious about this game. After all, it could test—or even improve—one’s comprehension.

“What are the rules for this game?” Luo Feng said again, studying it carefully.

Although he had just started studying the game in Boat of Mausoleum, more than a day had passed outside the boat. Thanks to the speed of his brain, he could immediately finish studying the spaceship. However, he couldn’t even decipher the basic rules for the game.

“123 solved games in total?” he muttered. “123 solved games and 123 broken games. They correspond to each other. Light… Shape…”

Luo Feng studied it for more than three years.

“This is the game rule?” Luo Feng whispered, smiling a bit. “Rhinoceros Emperor Game is a stereoscopic game—like a complex engraving picture.”

“Rule number one: There are 10,081 basic elements!” Luo Feng said to himself. “Rule number two: On each micro-stereoscopic hologram, each basic element can only appear once. Rule number three: Every micro-stereoscopic hologram will change, which makes the holograms appear different from each other. No two lines of the hologram can have the same picture.”

“Rule number four…”

“Rule number five…”

******

“Rule number nine: In the ultimate solved game, the stereoscopic phantom formed by godly power has a perfect circle. The energies will exist forever.”

Nine rules, and all were extremely complicated. Even the mind of a universe master couldn’t remember the position of a basic element. Countless basic elements formed a micro-stereoscopic picture; countless pictures formed a small stereoscopic picture; countless small pictures formed a medium-sized picture; countless medium-sized pictures formed a stereoscopic phantom. Even universe masters wouldn’t have been able to remember them!

One needed to understand the mysteries behind the game. Just like performing techniques, one needed to understand the mysteries to truly perform it, as its complexity could not be memorized directly by the brain.

“Impressive!” Luo Feng exclaimed. “How complex the rules are! And each game formed is complete and doesn’t consume any energies? Impressive… Even the engraving of my miniature universe can’t achieve a perfect energy circle. The first round of Rhinoceros Emperor Game isn’t as complicated as the miniature universe engraving picture. However, it is exceedingly complex, and the energies last forever. That’s why it’s perfect! No wonder Rhinoceros Emperor Game is so popular in Duan Dong River Wu. Amazing that someone was able to create such a mysterious game.”

Luo Feng was excited. It was much easier to study Rhinoceros Emperor Game after learning the rules, and he was immediately attracted to the game.

Immediately, Luo Feng was addicted. It was interesting, challenging, and offered a sense of accomplishment. He admired Rhinoceros even more now for being able to create such a game. It had strict requirements for intelligence, and one needed to be at least an undying fighter to be able to contemplate the game.

Duan Dong River said that in the ancient civilization, everyone—including the children—loved this game, thought Luo Feng. Does that mean even children of that civilization were undying?

The idea flashed through Luo Feng’s mind. Then he stopped overthinking and focused on contemplating the game.

Deer Bug master, Shadow Dust Master, Sorcerer Sprite Master, and Luo Feng were all staring at the stereoscopic phantoms.

Finally, Sorcerer Sprite Master transmitted the voice. “Shadow Dust! Shadow Dust! I’ve figured out the rules.”

“What are the rules?” Shadow Dust Master was overjoyed. “This goddamn game! I’ve studied it for a long time, yet I still have no idea how the rules are.”

“The rule is…” And Sorcerer Sprite Master notified him.

Shadow Dust Master was exhilarated. “Of course. Haha. No wonder I couldn’t figure out the mysteries behind these phantoms. The connections between these stereoscopic pictures are so complicated. Sorcerer Sprite, we both know the rules now. How about the other two?”

They both glanced at Luo Feng and Deer Bug Master. Deer Bug Master and Luo Feng stood as still as sculptures.

“Don’t worry about them,” said Sorcerer Sprite Master. “We can communicate with each other and comprehend those together. We’ll be way ahead of them.”

“That’s right. When the second true master and others from our race come here, we’ll have a better chance.”

******

From the three universe eras to the two holy lands, great beings from almost all the powers were heading toward Universe Boat. Great beings from the Heaven Clock Clan was the first to arrive.

Hong!

100,000 times faster than light speed, a broken shadow was roaming the space outside Flame Ice region. It was approaching Boat of Mausoleum at high speed. Jittery Sea Master, Red Lark Master, and the silent Rock Giant Master were all looking at that shadow.

“It’s a universe supreme master!”

Hua!

That broken shadow immediately slowed and stopped in front of the gate. The three universe masters were horrified and took a step back.

“Shadow Clock Demon Master?” The three universe masters all looked at the outside.

A black clock shadow floated outside the gate. Then the shadow dissipated. Followed by a ripple, a weird elder with long hair that had billions of small black clocks on it appeared. There were even clocks on his eyebrows and body hair. This was the typical outward appearance of a creature from the Heaven Clock Clan.

“Shadow Clock Demon Master.” The three universe masters gave a salutation.

“Ha! Skeleton race, thanks for the news!” Shadow Clock Demon Master laughed. “Three great beings from my race are rushing here.”

Three forces showed up.

“Go to that control room,” Shadow Clock Demon Master ordered. He looked at Jittery Sea Master. “You know how to go.”

“Of course,” said Jittery Sea Master. “This is the map.”

A trace of godly power flew outside his body, and a complex map was formed, leading to the center palace. It was a simple route, and it was easily understandable.

“Great.” Shadow Clock Demon Master nodded. “Then go.” Shadow Clock Demon Master took a look at the three universe masters from the Heaven Clock clan and added, “The hope of our race is borne on your shoulders.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

“We’ll make it or die trying.”

The three universe masters were also excited. They flew to the control room like three streaks of light.

******

After half a year, in front of the gate of Boat of Mausoleum…

“How are you stop us from getting in, Shadow Clock Demon Master! Do you want to fight us, the first Ancestral God School?”

“Get the hell out of here.”

“Shadow Clock Demon Master!”

Six universe masters had gathered in front of the gate. They were all universe masters staying around Flame Ice Region. They had come here after hearing the news. However, Shadow Clock Demon Master needed to take care of his race. He needed to stall any other great beings as long as possible.

“Humph!” Shadow Clock Demon Master stood there, ignoring them.

Hong!

A powerful force tore apart the surrounding space and time.

Shadow Clock Demon Master was horrified and looked toward the force. “Such a strong force!” he said. “Which universe supreme master is it? I’ve never seen you.”

Peng!

A beam of light rushed into the gate.

Shadow Clock Demon Master didn’t dare to resist it. He could tell that the palace true treasure was a supreme true treasure. Its powerful force permeated the surroundings.

An elder in a white cape surrounded with leaves landed. He glanced at Shadow Clock Demon Master.

“You are…” Shadow Clock Demon Master frowned. “Eastern Emperor Holy Land?”

“Humph.”

The white-caped elder didn’t even want to take one more look at Shadow Clock Demon Master. He waved his hands, and suddenly, 20 universe masters, 200 universe knights, and 2,000 undying fighters appeared.

“Go,” he ordered. “Get the inheritance for our Eastern Emperor Holy Land.”

“Yes!”

All the great beings rushed in. The Skeleton race had given the map to Eastern Emperor Holy Land a long time ago in an effort to befriend them.

“I, North True, haven’t been in Universe Ocean for more than ten universe eras,” the white-caped elder said, glancing at the others. “If Purple Moon Holy Land and the other powers haven’t arrived by now, they never will.”

Hong!

The white-caped elder waved his hands, and a giant black oval blocked the gate.

“Now that I’m here, let’s see who can get in.”

The white-caped elder took a step and merged with the black oval.
