The Immortal Dao is ethereal, and Immortals are hard to find.

Li Nianfan had descended into the cultivation world as a mortal. After learning that he has no hope in cultivation, he only wants to live a peaceful life.

However…

The dog he adopts becomes a demon king of a generation when it sees his poems and paintings. It manages to suppress an entire world.

The tree he plants behind his house becomes a World Tree after listening to his zither music, forming a bridge between heaven and earth.

He meets a passerby who is enlightened by him and becomes an immortal sage who leads an entire generation.

When he looks back—

It turns out that the scholar who had been pestering him for his calligraphy and paintings despite having crappy chess skills, is a chess saint from the Immortal Realm. The beautiful woman who comes to listen to his music every night is the number one saintess of the Immortal Realm…

He had already quit, so it was too late to say anything.

Li Nianfan was speechless when he saw that the Chess Fanatic looked like he was waiting for a compliment.

Li Nianfan calmed down and said, "Looks like you really like chess."

"Of course!" the Chess Fanatic said. "Actually, I came here to ask you something, Mr. Li."

"Oh? Did you want to play chess with me?" Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows. "Sure, I can see how far you've improved at chess."

"Not that. I'm currently facing an obstacle," the Chess Fanatic said. "If a game of chess becomes too difficult and hopeless, and you don't know where to place the chess pieces, what would you do?"

Li Nianfan was slightly baffled. "Duh? Restart the game."

The Chess Fanatic looked at Li Nianfan seriously. "No way, it can't be restarted."

Li Nianfan said, "Then it's unsolvable."
