Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2959

Amidst the tumultuous sea of chaos beyond the void, a desolate and seemingly directionless expanse stretched infinitely with only the undulating energies of primal chaos present there. Even a true immortal who dared to tread upon its shores would be swiftly consumed by its chaotic power, which was destructive enough that not even their bones would be left behind. Legends spoke of ancient invaders, creatures born of chaos, who once ravaged the sanctity of the celestial realm.

A sprawling black realm loomed in the heart of the primordial abyss that was too far distant from Bleurealm's reach. Its skies were shrouded in perpetual darkness, while its earth was awash in a macabre hue of crimson. Grotesque fiends prowled in the shadowed jungles, and a pervasive rotting odour stretched across the area. It was the sort of realm that befitted the damned.

Neither sun nor stars graced that forsaken land, as everything had been coloured black by a strange power. Within a floating palace situated in the sky of that land were two humanoid figures engaged in a game of chess—the chessboard was a grandiose structure mirroring the vastness of the world.

One of them was adorned in regal attire with a jade hairpin keeping his hair up. He exuded an aura of celestial majesty akin to the celestial sovereign. The sun and moon seemed to orbit around him, while the universe hung above him. The laws of creation danced like radiant beams of sunlight. He seemed to be a kind of powerhouse whose whims were capable of shaping the very fabric of reality.

Opposite him sat a figure with horns protruding from his brow. His hair was disheveled, while his face was pale. An aura of morbidity enveloped him, with wails of torment and echoes of sins past surrounding him. The cries were filled with suffering, murder, sin, bad luck, and other untoward disasters. Embodiments of greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and suspicion were present too. Five different poisons coiled around him like a black chain of order, imparting those spirits in hell with the seven deadly sins.

A true immortal who approaches that area would fall into ruin in that split second. Their six senses would be weakened, and the five poisons would enter their body. The seven sins would befall them, along with a slew of other disasters. Eventually, the true immortal would drown in everything and become one of the evil Rakshasas.

The two individuals condensed the laws of the great path into a chessboard, using the river of time as the markers delineating the chessboard while mortal lives were used as their chess pieces. Each move sent ripples through the river of time, disrupting souls who seek to cross over the river and turning their souls into trophies for them.
