"47people?Oh,thismeansthatseveralnew’starpoints’willbeborn!"
Norn,theGodofWisdomhabituallycalculatedthestandardofthechessplayers.
Everytime,theStarrySkyChessboardwouldappearintheseventowersrandomly,sothenumberofthechessplayerswouldchangeeverytime.Thistime,therewere47chessplayers.InNorn’smemory,thechessplayersthistimewerethemost.
BecauseofNorn,theGodofWisdom,theentireWesternGod’sDomainwasfanaticaltoStarGo,hehimselfwastherecognizedstrongestchessplayer,theonly"6starpoints"intheseventowers.
"Asexpected,theRubyDragonoftheDragonToweralsocomesthistime."Helookedatthebrightstarinthenorth.
IntheStarrySkyChessboard,thehigher"starpoints"onehadobtained,thebrighterone’sstarwouldbecome.
Astheonly"6starpoints"chessplayer,thegodwhoonceobtained60successivevictories,hisstarwasthebrightest.
However,evenso,hedidn’tknowifhecouldobtainmorethan60successivevictoriesthistime.

Thegapbetween"5starpoints"and"6starpoints"wasn’twide.IfhewastedtoomuchenergywhenplayingwithOrfina,itwouldevenbepossibletobedefeatedby"4starpoints"chessplayers.
EverythingwaspossibleontheStarrySkyChessboard,evenNorncouldn’tavoidfailureifhedidn’tgivehiswholeattentiontoanyofhisopponents.
Hewasthestrongestchessplayer,becausehisrecordwasstable.Hehadmorethan50%chancetodefeatanyofthe"5starpoints"chessplayers.AlthoughOrfinawasn’tinferiortohim,shelikedtotakeriskswhenplaying,soherrecordwasunstable.
WhenNornwasobservingotherpeople,otherpeoplewerealsoobservingtheopponentsaroundthemselves.
Theoretically,ifyoudidn’tquit,youcouldplayasmanyturnsasyouwantedhere.Therefore,everyoneontheStarrySkyChessboardwouldmeeteachothermorethanonce.
Mostofthemalreadybecameacquaintances,onlyseveralnewfacesappearedthistime.
"TheGodofWisdom"wasNorn’scodename,"RubyPrincess"wasOrfina’scodename.ShewascalledthesmartestdragonintheDragonGod’sDomain,andhertruebodywasastar.
Apartfromthemtwo,therewereseveral"4starpoints"chessplayers,suchas"BlackMage","MapleTeeth",and"DuckRome".Theyalsodefeated"TheGodofWisdom"and"RubyPrincess"severaltimes.
