Some things did not make any sense.

The Lord of Darkness was able to set up the game of chess, so he could just kill them with a single thought. However, the Saintess of Darkness was hoping someone could make it out alive and tell the world the truth.

If the Lord of Darkness wanted her to be silent, would she be able to speak?

Unless the Lord of Darkness did not really care what she was saying, or perhaps what she said was not the truth.

Mo Fan looked at Asharuiya. She obviously had the strongest reaction.

Wen Tai was her father! If the Saintess of Darkness was telling the truth, wouldnt that mean the Lord of Darkness was...

Asharuiya looked at the Lord of Darkness and asked in disbelief, Is what she said real?

For now, Im just a chess player, the Lord of Darkness answered simply.

Su Lu pointed at the Lord of Darkness and asked fiercely, You want to rule over both planes? Is it true that you want to rule over both worlds?

He kept repeating the sentence, as if it was an unrealistic ambition.

Ruling over two planes!

Su Lu was the Chairman of the Asia Magic Association. His ambition was to rule over the Magic Association of the other four continents and their countries.

However, it would only make him the King of Humans. There were many powerful kingdoms of demon creatures. A single kingdom in the Pacific Ocean could already destroy multiple human cities with tsunamis and take away seventy percent of their land.

The sea monsters in the Pacific Ocean were not even the strongest threat. The South Pole Emperor, Sahara Desert Emperor, Kunlun Emperor, and the other Emperors in the Amazon, the Atlantic Ocean, the Alps, and many other places could also wipe out the human race with their kingdoms.

It was almost impossible to rule over the living world.

On the other hand, the Dark Plane was bigger and more complicated than the living world, and yet the Lord of Darkness was its one and only king.

It was exactly what Archangel Michael of the Sacred City was wary of.

Several thousand years from now, darkness would infiltrate their world and devour all light. There would be darkness everywhere. The Darkness Creatures would invade their land and claim their world.

He was obliged to kill the King of the Undead Zhan Kong to protect his world.

It was not just an unfounded story. It was a prophecy that had spread among the authorities of the Magic Association.

There was also a prophecy related to the rise of the sea level.

Thousands of years from now, darkness would linger in their world. Multitudes of Darkness Creatures would appear, reproduce, and evolve to spread across their world like vegetation. When that happened, even the last territory of the humans would be taken away.

Therefore, it was possible for the Lord of Darkness to rule over the two planes!

Su Lu acted like he had just been struck by lightning.

Imagine the Lord of Darkness conspiring to rule over the living world!

If the Saintess of Darkness was telling the truth, Wen Tai was definitely the scariest conspirator in the world. No one was aware of his ambition. The people even thought of him as a saint!

He had become the god of the Dark Plane and asserted control over everything!

A human life was brief, since they would only live for around a hundred years. However, there was endless time for those who had died. The Lord of Darkness would rule over both the living and the dead. It was obvious whose achievement was more impressive between Su Lu and the Lord of Darkness!

Wen Tai could have easily waged a war to justify himself, but he had chosen to accept his fate instead. It was the reason why he was victorious, even though he had chosen not to put up a fight!

Su Lu believed the Saintess of Darkness. He trusted what she had said. It was the only way to explain Wen Tais decision!

The Black Dragon Emperor was once Holy Saint Wen Tais guardian. If Wen Tai did not want to die, who could possibly have hurt him?

He had chosen death to pursue greater power in the Dark Plane. It was his true ambition, conspiracy, and plot!

The Saintess of Darkness was right that Su Lu was like a three-year-old in comparison!

What a letdown, the Lord of Darkness sighed.

They should have just focused on the match.

No one wanted their opponent going easy on them because of who they were. It would only make the game boring and dull.

The Lord of Darkness was enjoying the game, but someone had to ruin his fun.

However, he could not help it. After all, it was only a game of chess. They were not fighting a real war.

So, Yucay, are you going to forfeit? Your enemy has obtained the Spring of Darkness thrice. Hes the one who took your son to the Holy Judgment Court. Are you seriously going to let him win and help him escape the Dark Plane, just so he brings back the secret that Wen Tai has become the Lord of Darkness to the world, and reveal my true identity? the Lord of Darkness asked.

I can pretend I didnt hear a single word, nor am I going to spread the news to the public. After all, I would rather stay alive if it means keeping some secrets with me forever, Mo Fan shrugged.

He was surprised, but his current priority was to stay alive. As for the question of whether Wen Tai was the Lord of Darkness or not...

Even if he was, Mo Fan could easily tell from how much he was enjoying the brutal game of chess now that he was no longer the Holy Saint.

The Lord of Darkness pointed at Mo Fan and smiled. Very well, I like your thinking. You just have to stick to your role and do what you are supposed to do.

So, are you Wen Tai? Mo Fan asked.

Your country believes there are ten kings in Hell, but when it comes to the one who controls life and death, people would only mention Yama. Why is that? the Lord of Darkness asked him.

Maybe Yama is the most reputable among them?

The Dark Plane is the same. There might be more than one king. People only call him the Lord of Darkness because hes the strongest and the most reputable among the kings. Sorry to disappoint you, but Im not Wen Tai. If Wen Tai has the ambition to rule over two planes, why would he have time to waste on playing chess here? The Lord of Darkness slowly revealed his face.

Asharuiya was staring closely at the Lord of Darkness, but soon calmed her thoughts and feelings.

He was not Wen Tai, nor was he her father.

He was one of the gods in the Dark Plane. Apparently, there was more than one king in the Dark Plane!

Perhaps there was only one Lord of Darkness with countless clones, each representing a personality of the Lord of Darkness, yet that still did not make him Wen Tai!

Alright, the time for chitchat has ended. Can you show me an exciting match with your life at stake? the Lord of Darkness asked.

As you wish! Mo Fan smiled.

Whether it was a conspiracy, politics, or Wen Tai was truly the greatest conspirer in the world, it had nothing to do with him. His only goal was to make it out alive.

If Mo Fan managed to leave the Dark Plane in one piece, he would not mind burning incense sticks for his father-in-law and thanking him for sparing his life!
