Upon hearing what the old ghost had to say, Chen Yu felt a sudden, violent jolt in his heart.
Someone had used the grand layout of the sages to play a cosmic game spanning multiple epochs?
Could all of them, who had once benefited from this sage layout, potentially turn out to be mere chess pieces?
This was something Chen Yu had never even considered, because virtually everything he possessed today had been bestowed upon him by the sage's layout.
It was akin to one's own parents nurturing them—would anyone ever suspect the intentions of their own parents?
Naturally, they wouldn't. At this very moment, the old ghost's words delivered such a profound shock to Chen Yu that it left him completely incapable of reacting for a long time.
Seeing Chen Yu standing there frozen in a daze, unable to snap back to reality, the old ghost continued, "Kid, I know this is a bit hard to believe. Frankly, I find it hard to credit myself. But we can't view everything through rose-colored glasses. Although Chuyao's conjecture lacks hard evidence, we still have to prepare in advance. Just in case there really are uncontrollable variables in the end, at least we won't be caught completely off guard."
