However, after seeing Shintaro Ichiyanagi's expression and reaction, Shigeo Morishita seemed to have guessed something and couldn't help but ask, "Shintaro, is something you've thought of?"
Upon hearing this, Shintaro Ichiyanagi took a deep breath and looked at Shigeo Morishita, saying, "Do you remember the game I reviewed when I first came to you?"
Shigeo Morishita was taken aback, not understanding for a moment why Shintaro Ichiyanagi had asked this question.
But soon, as if realizing something, Morishita Shigeo's expression suddenly changed, and he said incredulously, "You mean?"
Upon seeing this, Shintaro Ichiyanagi nodded without hesitation and replied, "Ah, that's a possibility, after all, the ages match."
With a slight frown, Morishita Shigeo stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, "But the principles of the game shown in that game are too different from those shown in this game, aren't they?"
Upon hearing this, Shintaro Ichiyanagi replied with a solemn expression, "Shigeo, do you think it's possible that the principles of the game being played right now are the true principles of his?"
"And the principles of the game I initially reviewed were just entirely new principles that he was exploring and creating?"
Upon hearing this, Shigeo Morishita's pupils constricted sharply, his mind reeling.
At that moment, Shigeo Morishita felt an overwhelming sense of fear.
At the same time, Shigeo Morishita simply could not accept this fact.
He let out a heavy sigh of relief, and saw Morishita Shigeo casually pat Shintaro Ichiyanagi on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "Hey, Shintaro, stop joking around."
"How old is he? Even if he learned Go from the womb, it's impossible for him to have mastered one top-level Go principle and discovered another at such a young age, right?"
What Shigeo Morishita said was something that Shintaro Ichiyanagi couldn't understand or accept.
However, Shintaro Ichiyanagi knew that if his guess was true...
Then the child who once played Go with his son would be an unprecedented Go monster that made him tremble with fear and powerlessness.
Kaga Tetsuo, standing to the side, looked on with bewilderment and confusion as he watched Morishita Shigeo and Ichiyanagi Shintaro's cryptic conversation.
Tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful for these three...
Meanwhile, at Chen Anxia's home.
Chen Anxia was unaware that because of Kaga Tetsuo and Kurozuki Ryoko, he had already made waves in the Go world of two worlds.
Of course, even if she knew, Chen Anxia had no interest in paying attention to it now.
Because the game of chess had exhausted Chen Anxia's mental energy, he was now fast asleep in bed.
When Chen Anxia woke up from hunger, it was already around 3 a.m.
After having a quick bite to fill his stomach, Chen Anxia returned to the physical Go board in his bedroom and began to review his game against Fujiwara Sai.
Meanwhile, in Chen Anxia's mind, the principles of Go belonging to Tengen Dozai resurfaced as the game was reviewed.
Only at this moment did Chen Anxia fully relax his mind and properly comprehend the principles of Go belonging to Tianyuan Daozai.
In his contemplation, Chen Anxia discovered that within the principles of Go derived from Tengen Dozai, there was already a path leading to the principles of Go.
Just like the principles of Go from Yasutaka Uemura.
Chen Anxia knew that as long as he embarked on this existing path of chess principles, he would be able to proceed smoothly and witness the extraordinary phenomena manifested by the chess principles along the way, thereby gradually mastering the chess principles from Tianyuan Daozai.
This discovery left Chen Anxia with some questions about the principles of chess in the universe.
In Chen Anxia's view, the cosmic chess theory, like the other two chess theories, comes from the players.
Why is it that in the universe of chess principles, not only is there no chess principle, but there is also a tightly closed door blocking the entrance?
'Could it be that the Universal Chess Theory differs from the other two chess theories?'
Chen Anxia pondered this in her heart, but could not find the answer.
Regardless, the principles of the universe have already helped Chen Anxia solve two difficult problems in a row.
The first was the solution to the game of truth that shook the world of players, and the second was the solution to the game of the Three Kos of All Time.
Chen Anxia discovered that the ingenious moves manifested by the principles of chess in the universe were extremely strange and unpredictable.
To others, these brilliant moves may seem like disadvantageous or even clumsy, but they often play a crucial role at critical moments.
Unlike the principles of chess in the universe, the principles of chess from Tengen Dosai gave Chen Anxia a feeling of one word: stability!
This stability was an extremely precise stability, so much so that even Chen Anxia, who was trying to understand the principles of chess, felt an impenetrable sense of pressure and suffocation.
Chen Anxia could hardly imagine what it would be like to play against a chess player who possessed such chess principles.
Chen Anxia knew that this situation would not be pleasant, but rather quite terrifying, something she didn't want to imagine.
Unbeknownst to many, the review of the Three Calamities of the Ages has reached its final stage.
Chen Anxia, holding the white pieces, made a brilliant move that manifested from the principles of chess in the universe, a move that broke with convention and was unpredictable.
At that very moment, a sudden inspiration flashed through Chen Anxia's mind, and an idea took root in her head.
'What kind of chess theory would emerge if I combined this extreme precision and stability with the unpredictable nature of the universe's chess principles and the global balance of Uemura Yasunari's chess theory?'
'No, it's not just these three principles of chess...'
Chen Anxia knew that his abilities meant he was destined to absorb an unlimited amount of chess principles from other players.
Will I be able to integrate all the chess principles from the players someday in the future?
Chen Anxia didn't know if she would succeed.
But Chen Anxia knew that such a future might exist.
Thinking about this, Chen Anxia felt excited, expectant, and eager about this possible future.
At that moment, Chen Anxia seemed to see this future, and also saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure standing at the end of this future.
The figure in the back seemed to sense something and slowly turned its head to look at Chen Anxia.
In that instant, Chen Anxia's mind jolted, feeling an overwhelming pressure as if the sky were collapsing, and his thoughts instantly returned to reality.
Chen Anxia knew that the unfamiliar yet familiar figure was her future self.
Chen Anxia also knew that the sense of pressure he felt was the difference in their chess skills.
The oppressive aura was so immense, it was like an insurmountable chasm.
At the same time, Chen Anxia also realized a problem.
If I really succeed, what kind of being will I become after integrating the chess principles of all players?
Chen Anxia already had the answer to this question in his heart.
This answer, however, made even Chen Anxia tremble with fear...
......
Chapter 70 Online Go: The Fear of GG!
After what seemed like the umpteenth time he had reviewed the situation, Chen Anxia finally stopped.
During the review process, Chen Anxia remained immersed in the principles of Tengen Dozai's game.
Although this allowed Chen Anxia to more truly understand Tengen Dosai's principles of Go, Tengen Dosai's principles were still too profound for Chen Anxia.
This resulted in Chen Anxia being unable to fully understand and digest the chess principles he had come to realize, to the point that Chen Anxia now felt as if his brain was overeaten, his head was swollen, and he had a feeling of indigestion.
This feeling made Chen Anxia very uncomfortable, forcing her to close her eyes and rest, while gently rubbing her throbbing head.
After a short while, the discomfort subsided slightly, and Chen Anxia sat down in front of the computer.
Chen Anxia plans to use practical games to help him understand and digest the principles of Go from Tengen Dosai.
Soon, Chen Anxia logged into the Go website.
Although it is already late at night in the island nation, the Go players on the Go website come from all over the world.
Therefore, Chen Anxia was quickly matched with an opponent and entered the game.
Meanwhile, at Akira Touya's home.
Because it's the weekend, Akira Touya stayed home all day, spending his time in front of his computer studying online Go.
Of course, Akira Touya's biggest goal was to fight GG.
Akira Touya didn't expect that even after waiting a whole day and even advancing his online Go rank to amateur, he still wouldn't see GG come online.
At this moment, Akira Touya was using the mouse to close the game interface that had just ended with a significant advantage, and then casually opened his following list to see if GG was online.
Upon seeing this, Akira Touya's face showed a faint sense of disappointment.
Because GG's name is grayed out in Akira Touya's following list, it means that GG is not online.
However, this was not unexpected for Akira Touya, since it was already late at night, and the possibility of GG being online at this time was extremely slim.
Just then, Akira Touya's mother, Akiko Touya, pushed open the bedroom door and walked in, angrily scolding Akira, "Akira, what time is it? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Is online Go really that appealing to you? If you don't go to sleep soon, I'm taking your computer away."
Akiko Toya is a typical virtuous wife from an island nation; she is gentle, cheerful, and rarely gets angry.
But it is precisely this personality trait that makes Akiko Touya extremely terrifying when she gets angry.
Akira Touya knew this well, so when he learned that Akiko Touya was angry, he couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Without the slightest hesitation, Akira Touya shut down the computer, turned to look at his mother, and said obediently and gently, "I'm going to sleep now."
Unbeknownst to Akira Touya, the moment he shut down his computer, GG's name suddenly lit up in his watchlist.
Sometimes, things just happen by chance.
Chen Anxia, of course, had no idea what had happened to Toya Akira.
At this moment, Chen Anxia was completely absorbed in the game of chess before him.
In Chen Anxia's eyes, the online chess game in front of him has become his best canvas, where he can still express himself freely and unrestrainedly, and vent all his confusion and bewilderment about the principles of chess.
During this process, some of the questions and confusions were resolved on the spot, which made Chen Anxia feel genuinely happy.
Of course, only Chen Anxia felt this way.
For Chen Anxia's opponent, the player known online as 'Ada', this game was far from a pleasant experience.
Because Chen Anxia's moves were so stable, this stability was a steady advance, which made Ada feel that the pressure she was under was increasing step by step.
At the same time, this ever-increasing pressure felt like invisible shackles binding him tightly as he played the game, making him feel suffocated and powerless.
And that's not even the scariest part...
