In the course of the deduction, they simulated and searched through countless spaces, from the past to the future...

They methodically deduced the worlds he once inhabited, tracing the timeline from past to future.

Yet, there was no gain...

It felt as if the space holding the Reincarnation Ring was completely shielded, with no trace to be found, no slightest breath to detect. There are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the Reincarnation Ring has been utterly obliterated. However, the Reincarnation Ring is not an ordinary "physical magical treasure." As long as "reincarnation" exists, the world continues to run, and reincarnation persists, the Reincarnation Ring will surely reappear.

Then, only the second, more terrifying possibility remains.

The Reincarnation Ring has fallen into the hands of a Supreme Being that cannot be deduced, completely evading all deductions. No matter which angle they tried to deduce from, they couldn't sense any breath at all.

The next second, they suddenly touched upon some supreme rule during their deduction.

Their Sea of Consciousness was instantly penetrated, and three phantoms shattered in an instant, turning into particles, scattered into dust. The powerful aftershock obliterated the already dry Realm Sea into fragments, transforming it into a void chaotic space.

...

At this moment, in a certain Divine Realm.

Above the Dragon Sky, there is a sacred golden palace with azure tiles shining with holy light, rendering the sky in a golden hue, immensely holy.

In that highest azure tiled golden hall, there is a small world.

Within the small world, mountains stretch endlessly, with lofty mountains and flowing waters, the sun hanging high. It is a small world that had been created.

Before a waterfall, three figures opened their eyes suddenly, with endless divine light flickering and intertwining in their pupils. Yet, within that divine light, an unusual emotion was visible—fear!

Just now, a powerful supreme rule of power instantaneously penetrated the Sea of Consciousness of their split-image phantoms. Fortunately, they decisively severed the connection.

Otherwise, that rule of power might have extended along the "will" directly onto their true bodies; even if it didn't kill them, it could potentially cause serious harm.

This was merely a deduction!

Yet it directly shattered their phantom projections, nearly causing severe damage to their true form.

What had they deduced....

.....

The other two glanced toward the middle with lingering fear.

"Uncle, what have we touched upon....almost getting backfired."

The authoritative man in the golden robe seated in the middle, with great majesty etched between his brows, had golden pupils like the blazing sun in the sky, and his aura was the strongest among the three.

He was the first to calm his emotions, exhaling a heavy breath, contemplating for a long time before slowly speaking: "I do not know."

Because it was his first time encountering such a situation.

Fortunately, they only used projections for the deduction; the consequences of using their true bodies would be unimaginable.

...

"Reincarnation Ring....we are perhaps unworthy of meddling with."

The authoritative man in the golden robe sighed heavily.

In search of the Reincarnation Ring, he expended countless resources, cultivating five pawns in the Lower Immortal Realm. Just nurturing those five pawns took nearly a hundred eras to support. Finally, they managed to gather information about the Reincarnation Ring.

However, the youngster who acquired the Reincarnation Ring was born in an insignificant small world, yet his talent was terrifyingly extreme. In just one hundred eras, he had nearly reached their level in the Lower Realm.

Yet he had not ascended to the Divine Realm, making it difficult for them to pursue and kill him.

To chase in the Lower Realm, they'd have to descend in their true form, as otherwise, it would be hard to subdue him.

But now, the Cangyang Divine Realm is full of great clans eyeing the Golden Qilin Race with envy. Should they leave Cangyang, others may take advantage of the opportunity.

Hence, they could only rely on the five pawns in the Lower Immortal Realm to hold him down, instructing them to arrange for someone to reverse the River of Time to slay his past self.

Honestly, from the beginning to the end, he never expected the Lower Realm's five pawns to successfully kill him, as the gap was simply too vast,

Their true killer move was to let the five pawns hold him off, weaken him, then await their true bodies' arrival.

But...it was just three hundred short years. Those five pawns only needed to persist for three hundred years, and the plan would succeed.

However, it now appears that all efforts were in vain.

Because even if their true bodies succeeded in descending, the Reincarnation Ring was no longer on him.

Futile....

Everything is an illusion.

The Golden Qilin Race could have used the Reincarnation Ring to elevate their strength to a new level, but now everything is shattered.

.....

At this moment, the authoritative man in the golden robe had that youngster's words echoing in his mind.

"You and I are now merely pawns, having not yet seen the true chess game, unable to discern what beings are truly playing...

Focus on cultivation....do not seek, some existences are beyond your reach..."

Thinking back to these words and the recent deduction failure, a sense of unease grew within him.

.....

He made a significant decision in his heart.

Then, he slowly stood up.

The other two followed suit and stood.

"Nephew, Ninth Nephew."

"You two, pass on my decree: Our Golden Qilin Race shall enter complete closed-door cultivation, not participating in any conflicts of the Cangyang Divine Realm."

Upon hearing this, the other two showed confusion.

At this moment, the authoritative man in the golden robe raised his head, squinting as he looked upward into the void, murmuring: "That youngster was correct, perhaps our Golden Qilin Race are merely pawns under the great beings."

"Even if we achieve a high status within the Cangyang Divine Realm, what's the use?"

"The Ten Thousand Realms are far from being the only Divine Realm."

"In the eyes of those Supreme Beings, our struggles might be mere child's play."

"Status....is the most useless thing."

"Rather than fighting for the Divine Realm's status, we should focus all our energy on cultivation..."

"Strength is the real reliance."

Over these years, the Golden Qilin Race had been laying various battles, engaging in countless undercurrents, and numerous schemes to secure its position in the Divine Realm.

They had devoted a substantial amount of time to this, wasting the innate, divine-descendant talents of the Golden Qilin Race.

After hearing these words, the other two nodded in agreement.

"We'll arrange it then."

With that, the two disappeared from the spot.

.....

After the two left, the small world returned to silence, with only the murmur of water flow audible.

The middle-aged man in the golden robe gazed into the void, as if his sight could pierce through and search, looking into the distant void....

Then he murmured in his heart:

"Is the one who acquired the Reincarnation Ring the player holding the pieces in the chess game...?"

"If he is the player holding the pieces, then who might be the opponent in this chess game?"
