60: Chapter 60 is outrageous; he tore a space apart with his bare hands.

Outside the Home Base of Britain, a cluster of flames flickered.

The British used the myth of Prometheus 'stealing divine fire' as a reference to construct an exclusive skill that could delay the advance of 'nightfall'.

The flickering 'divine fire' divided the area into light and dark, supplemented by items obtained in the first stage.

How long the firelight could last would determine Britain's ranking in this Game of National Destiny!

There was 'divine fire flickering' outside Britain's Home Base.

Outside the Home Base of the Nile Country, the 'sunlight' of the sun god Ra was also resisting the darkness.

Similarly, the Heroic Spirit of Russia, Yov, was also using 'holy light' to block the darkness.

Chen Aoyun's previous 'four consecutive moves' were no secret.

Just when all the viewers thought that the Dragon Country would use the same routine and that a fourth special light was about to shine on the Starlight Chessboard, Chen Aoyun opened his eyes.

A second ago, he had activated the last 'move' of the 'four consecutive moves'!

There was no Roleplayer to host a Heroic Spirit Manifestation, and it wasn't a plot world, so he couldn't summon a Heroic Spirit directly.

Chen Aoyun had once again entered the chessboard world in the form of a 'clone'.

However, the location where Chen Aoyun's 'clone' landed was beyond everyone's expectations!

"The Home Base itself is immune to 'nightfall'. To delay the advance of 'nightfall', shouldn't you go forward to the area where 'nightfall' is about to arrive? Why did you run into the middle of the Home Base?" Zhao Hongxiu and Fan Ling looked at Chen Aoyun in confusion.

The viewers in the livestream also typed the same question in the comments at almost the same time.

Chen Aoyun's main body did not answer; his attention was entirely focused on his 'clone'.

Chen Aoyun's clone, having descended into the Home Base, saw his Heroic Spirit Manifestation slowly materialize behind him.

It was as if he was strolling along, stepping through the sound of pine waves and the rhythm of bamboo.

This Heroic Spirit's manifestation appeared as a mortal in the mundane world, yet his temperament was transcendent!

His green robes were faded, his wide sleeves danced in the wind, and a wine gourd was loosely tied to his waist. With every gesture, flower petals fluttered, and colorful butterflies danced around his sleeves!

Chen Aoyun, empowered by such a manifestation, did not move forward to the line where 'nightfall' was spreading to resist the darkness; instead, he stayed in the Home Base and simply looked around at the environment.

"Found it!" Chen Aoyun curled his lips and walked quickly to a place with craggy rocks and stopped.

Staring straight at the basalt hill in front of him, Chen Aoyun took a deep breath, as if he wanted to challenge this small hill?

"What on earth is the Dragon Country's Strategist trying to do? What is he doing? He has a Heroic Spirit Manifestation, but instead of using the Heroic Spirit's power to resist 'nightfall', he ran to a hill in the Home Base? Is he sightseeing?" The viewers watching the livestream couldn't understand what Chen Aoyun was doing.

Fan Ling and Zhao Hongxiu also stared at the screen showing Chen Aoyun's clone in the chessboard, looking completely bewildered.

The Chen Aoyun in the screen spoke with great conviction: " 'There was a hill, and there was a small opening in the hill, as if there were light'!"

The sentence was like a prophecy.

For a moment, the 'prophecy' and the Heroic Spirit Manifestation behind Chen Aoyun shone in mutual reflection.

Raising his hands and pressing them against the basalt rock in front of him, Chen Aoyun tore it open with force.

Whoosh—!

The rock was torn open, revealing a small opening, and a ray of light spilled out from it!

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Tearing a small hill open with his bare hands?

What the hell is the Heroic Spirit Manifestation behind Chen Aoyun?

How could it actually help Chen Aoyun tear open a small hill with his bare hands?!

And also.

Shouldn't rock still be rock after being torn open?

How did you, Chen Aoyun, tear open a cave?

And, caves are pitch black; shouldn't it be dark inside?

How could there still be light spilling out from the cave torn open by hand?

Is it the Heroic Spirit's exclusive skill?

But what kind of exclusive skill has this effect?

Amidst everyone's surprise and confusion, Chen Aoyun in the livestream walked into the cave.

The cave was narrow and cramped. Chen Aoyun walked forward in silence, and the 'prophecy' in his mouth grew louder.

" 'At first it was very narrow, only allowing one person to pass. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up, and the land was flat and vast'!"

The words from Chen Aoyun's mouth were empowered by the strength of the manifestation behind him, actually condensing into a physical form, drifting and extending.

A moment later, Chen Aoyun walked out of the cave into a huge, empty…

'Taoyuan Wonderland'!!!

A Heroic Spirit, the Immortal Guest of Taoyuan, Tao Yuanming!

The 'prophecy' in Chen Aoyun's mouth was the Chinese classic "The Peach Blossom Spring"!

Chess Rules: [The erosion of darkness is pervasive; nightfall will swallow everything. Now it has begun to approach the 'Home Base' of various countries. Only the Home Base can resist the darkness, and the Home Base has limited area and can only plant one 'divine tree'!]

"Isn't the area of the Home Base limited? Isn't it only possible to plant one divine tree?"

"'Limited' is a modifier in the [Rules]. With such a modifier, the area of the Home Base cannot be expanded; otherwise, it would be a violation of the rules."

"But 'Taoyuan' is a 'wonderland'. You can think of it as a parallel space within the Home Base."

"It is within the Home Base, yet it does not count towards the area of the Home Base! In this way, the Home Base has an extra area without changing its size!"

'Taoyuan Wonderland' appeared in the world.

The clone spoke eloquently, and Chen Aoyun's main body on the Star Chessboard waved his hand.

The 'tree of morning light' that was originally planted outside the Home Base was instantly transplanted into the 'Taoyuan Wonderland'.

"[Rules] state that 'only' the Home Base can be immune to the swallowing of 'nightfall'."

"'Only' is the original text in the [Chess Rules], which cannot be changed or circumvented."

"Even if 'Taoyuan Wonderland' is a wonderland, the rules of the Heroic Spirit are only below the [Chess Rules]. Chen Aoyun cannot make 'Taoyuan Wonderland' also possess the ability to resist 'nightfall'."

"However, 'Taoyuan Wonderland' is hidden in the Home Base. Although 'Taoyuan Wonderland' itself cannot be immune to 'nightfall', as long as the Home Base does not fall, the Taoyuan Wonderland within it does not fear the threat of nightfall!"

Chen Aoyun raised his head, as if facing that non-existent 'camera'.

He laughed in a resonant tone, "Then, will the Dragon Country's Home Base fall? No! The 'tree of dark twilight' is planted in the Home Base, and the 'tree of morning light' has been put into the 'Taoyuan' by me. Now, the Dragon Country's Home Base: immune to nightfall, absorbs corruption, provides reinforcements—three in one! This is the answer I have handed in using Tao Yuanming!"

He was not afraid of exposing the allusion and skill source of Tao Yuanming. The Chinese Heroic Spirits were in Chen Aoyun's heart, and there were plenty of them!

By explaining it openly and announcing it clearly, while showing his confidence, Chen Aoyun wanted to slap the face of Sakura Country and boost the morale of the people of the Dragon Country!

Didn't you, Sakura Country, insist that I couldn't lead the Dragon Country into the top three?

Didn't you use some trump card item, saying that if I couldn't get into the top three, my Dragon Country wouldn't get any rewards?

Yes, the Dragon Country doesn't have a 'tree of eternity', but I used a unique method to make the 'double trees' become like a 'tree of eternity', stuffing them both into the Home Base!

Without a 'tree of eternity', I have achieved the same effect as the 'tree of eternity'!

Delaying nightfall? No need! Let nightfall come! Fast or slow, it doesn't matter! The 'double trees' are both under the protection of the Home Base!

Chen Aoyun's words instantly ignited the livestream.

Someone exclaimed in the comments, "Can you even do that? Instead of resisting 'nightfall', he solved the fundamental problem of the divine tree's survival! This imagination is too wild, isn't it? Doesn't doing this count as a violation? Someone from another country, 'unbox' this Tao Yuanming! How can he, Chen Aoyun, make an allusion an allusion just by saying it? Why do I feel like such an outrageous Heroic Spirit exclusive skill should be constructed with 'jokes'!"
