Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate

"What's going on?"

"What on earth is this?"

In the Boundless Kingdom, a huge upside-down tree is spreading.

Its roots are in the sky, as if it is using the nutrients of the entire world to nourish itself.

…

On the branches of the upside-down tree, "tumors" of all kinds grow, as if they are lives that died before they were conceived.

If someone could see inside the "tumor", they would certainly find that the lives that died therein were the "indigenous people" of the Boundless Country.

In other words, all the life that has ever existed in the Boundless Kingdom was being conceived there, but died prematurely.

…

"Is this the resurgence of the Boundless Kingdom?"

“But why did it fail?”

“Who is leading all this?”

…

Although Terance and Su Yunyi are of average strength, they can even be considered insignificant in the current Boundless Kingdom.

But the basic vision is still there!

At least they saw many familiar species among those "tumors".

However, they had long since perished in the turmoil that had befallen the Boundless Kingdom.

…

"Viscount of the Empire, this must be Chen Qi's doing!"

"This upside-down tree looks like the style of the Skull and Bones Society, but it also contains many false methods from the Life Sect and even the spiritual dimension!"

"The only one who can use such complicated methods is Chen Qi from the Tianwu Spell Academy!"

…

Su Yunyi, who was born in the Dark Star Empire, was the first to see some details about the Upside-Down Tree.

Although he also felt that he had only seen some superficial phenomena, it was enough to determine the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Because neither the Sirens Progenitor nor Zeami had any reason or need to resort to such "chaotic" means.

They have more advanced means.

…

"What exactly does the Viscount want to do?"

"Why do I feel that the upside-down tree seems to be growing towards us?"

Perhaps it’s because the “influence” from before hasn’t completely disappeared.

Or maybe it was the current situation that made Terance start to miss the days of working in the underworld.

Terance's attitude towards the Viscount of the Empire suddenly became respectful again.

…

In Terance's eyes, the whole world turned upside down the moment the Inverted Tree was born.

The sky turned into "soil", while the land became "barren".

Endless life is emerging from the "soil" and spreading to the barren land.

…

It’s a pity that the “new life” died in the womb before it could mature.

However, the spread of upside-down trees has not stopped.

"New life" continues to be born on its branches, but then turns into "tumors".

…

As the upside-down tree continued to extend, its branches got closer and closer to the land.

Perhaps at some point, the "new life" is just born from the branch and it comes into contact with the "land" and will never "die in the womb" again.

…

"It's not coming for us, but for the Sage's Stone!"

"But what exactly is this intended to do?"

Unlike Terance who began to "accept his fate", Su Yunyi was extremely unwilling at this moment, and even stared at Terance with great resentment.

…

He was just about to snatch the Sage's Stone, but it was destroyed by Terance.

Although the Stone of Sages is still quietly floating on the sea, it is an "ownerless object".

But even if Su Yunyi was out of his mind, he didn't dare to snatch it again.

…

Su Yunyi is very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses compared to Terance.

It is definitely not possible that the Viscount of the Empire created such a grand scene just for the two of them.

But the upside-down tree was indeed growing towards them.

In this way, the answer is obvious.

Chen Qi must have also set his eyes on the Sage's Stone.

…

"Opportunity, I will have another chance!"

"The Siren Ancestor and Zeami will definitely stop Chen Qi!"

At this point, Su Yunyi can only hope that the two sides will fight each other so that he, the fisherman, can benefit.

Although the probability is very small, it is at least a thought.

…

"Intelligent civilizations are truly powerful, especially those that once stood at the pinnacle. They are even more terrifying."

"The Boundless Country is the territory of the Siren Civilization. This is not just talk."

"Who would have thought that the Siren Civilization could already control the life and death of all life in the Boundless Country!"

“But this makes things convenient for me!”

…

[Soul Point], on the "throne", Chen Qi stood quietly.

Under his feet, the [Soul Point] was shining brightly, projecting Chen Qi's "shadow" towards the Boundless Kingdom.

However, when this figure fell into the Boundless Kingdom, it turned into an upside-down tree.

…

This incredible scene was naturally accomplished by Chen Qi and [Soul Point] working together.

Or it can be said that Chen Qi was able to do this with the help of resonance with the [soul point].

In essence, this is Chen Qi and the [Soul Point] "temporarily" merging into one.

Only in this way can part of Chen Qi's power be directly projected into the Boundless Kingdom.

…

Of course, if the Sirens Ancestor and Zeami had not fallen into the "ocean" at this moment, there would be no one on the world barrier.

Chen Qi did not dare to take such a "risk".

This is not just because he is worried that the Siren Ancestor will take advantage of this "resonance state" to plot against him.

He was also worried that Zeami would find out about the Soul Point and climb up.

…

Chen Qi had stood on the [Soul Point] before, which essentially meant that he had forcibly covered and suppressed the soul point of the Siren civilization.

If not for this, the Siren Ancestor would have come up long ago by relying on the special entanglement with the [Soul Point].

But blindly suppressing it means that Chen Qi cannot use the power of [Soul Point], even though he has obtained many secrets of [Soul Point].

…

After breaking the Pirate King's inheritance, Chen Qi cut off his retreat.

But it also gave me a rare chance to "play freely".

Although this time is short, once the Sirens and Zeami recover from their "fall", they will disappear.

But it is enough for Chen Qi to realize some of his ideas.

…

As I go deeper into the realm of life, especially after seeing the upside-down tree.

There was once a question that kept echoing in Chen Qi's mind.

That is the number of lives in the world, whether there is a quota.

…

Deep down, Chen Qi naturally hopes that all creatures in the world can be free.

The birth and even the number of life are random, there is no extreme value at all.

However, if this is true, why does such a “strange thing” as an “identity card” exist?

Is it possible that the world is registering all its citizens and conducting a life census?

…

Originally, Chen Qi had given up researching this kind of high-end problem.

But what Chen Qi didn't expect was that while he was fighting with the Three Pillar Gods, he was shocked to realize something.

That is the sirens in the Boundless Kingdom, and their number is limited.

Chen Qi even discovered through further "experiments" that the amount of life in the Boundless Kingdom also seems to have a fixed value.

This is a bit too terrifying if you think about it carefully.

…

The strength of an intelligent civilization is never reflected in numbers.

In a battle between civilizations, victory is not guaranteed by sheer numbers.

However, when intelligent civilizations grow from weak to strong, their numbers will surely increase dramatically.

…

Although the current supernatural world does not absolutely agree that "the increase in the number of individuals of a race will lead to the advancement of civilization."

But if the number of individuals remains stagnant or even gradually shrinks, civilization will definitely stagnate.

This is still the case when "there is no extreme number of racial individuals".

If it is the number of individuals in a race, it can never exceed a certain value.

Civilization is not standing still, but it is always complacent and "frozen".

…

After realizing that the number of lives in the Siren civilization and even the Boundless Kingdom is a fixed value.

Chen Qi couldn't help but wonder if this was the price that the Siren civilization paid for its "imprisonment".

Did the Siren civilization escape the desperate situation of completely "falling" from its [Soul Point] by "locking" itself?

…

Unfortunately, all this is just Chen Qi's guess.

Because of the constant fight with the Three Pillar Gods, Chen Qi couldn't even calculate that fixed value.

But after Chen Qi shattered the Pirate King's inheritance with one sword and resonated with the [Soul Point], everything was confirmed.

…

"There is indeed a fixed number of lives in the Boundless Country, and that is one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred trillion!"

"Even if all life in the Boundless Country turned into fungi and bacteria, it would not exceed this value!"

"But among these 129,600 trillion life quotas, the Siren Civilization only occupies 129,600 billion!"

"Even if all other life in the Boundless Kingdom died out, the number of Sirens could not exceed 12960 billion!"

“This number may not seem small, but for an intelligent civilization, it is so sad and hopeless!”

"Because if even the number of one's own lives can be accurately calculated, then there is nothing that cannot be calculated!"

"Is this the specific value that the Siren Ancestor was afraid I would discover?"

…

It was not until Chen Qi deeply resonated with the [Soul Point] and intentionally searched for it that he found this "ultimate secret".

No wonder the Siren Ancestor didn't dare to let him leave.

Anyone who is discovered to have such a secret will be killed without mercy.

…

After fully understanding everything, Chen Qi knew that everything the Siren Ancestor had said before was just sweet talk.

This old guy is just fooling himself.

There was no way He could leave the Boundless Kingdom alive.

As expected, the old ones are the wisest. Chen Qi, the new actor, is still too green and could not see through the disguise of the ancestor of the sea monster.

…

"The lock on the number of lives in the Boundless Country should be done by the Siren Civilization itself."

"They should want to completely control a world, perhaps for the purpose of upgrading their dimension, or for self-protection."

"But the fact that the number of lives of the Siren Civilization itself was locked is questionable as to whether it was his own doing!"

…

After all, the degree of resonance between Chen Qi and the [Soul Point] is limited, so the secrets he can peek into are naturally limited.

It’s not that Chen Qi is not curious, but that he values ​​his life more.

If he continued to resonate, he would really become one with the [Soul Point], or be assimilated by it.

…

"No matter what, the fact that the Siren Civilization was able to master the technology to lock the number of lives must be related to the small underworld they created."

"It is very likely that the Siren Civilization discovered some of the secrets of the God of Death and mastered this method."

"But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that the God of Death also has the means to lock the number of lives, or even that they are the source of the technology."

"No wonder the most advanced intelligent civilizations would come into conflict with them."

…

Although Chen Qi did not find any solid evidence, he was able to prove it through resonance with the soul points and his own "practical operation" in the underworld in the Boundless Kingdom.

Chen Qi seriously suspected that all of this was related to the gods of death.

It seems that his previous understanding of the god of death was too superficial.

…

"Spring is back, bringing blessings to all living beings!"

"This time, I, the Viscount, will be kind and act as the God of Life!"

The number of lives in the Boundless Kingdom is locked, although this is a bad thing.

But it also means that the Boundless Country has achieved self-sufficiency and life can be sown at will.

…

In the past, the Sirens strictly controlled the number of lives in the Unbounded Kingdom.

Even the number of sirens is strictly controlled.

The number of lives in the Boundless Kingdom has never reached its extreme value, not even 1/10000.

…

This is because the amount of life has lost its meaning to the Siren civilization.

The Siren civilization will not become stronger as the number of sirens increases.

On the contrary, the increase in the number of lives will lead to excessive consumption of materials in the Boundless Kingdom, causing them to evaporate into energy.

…

For the Siren Civilization, the number of Sirens only needs to be enough to maintain the [Soul Points] from dropping.

What the Siren civilization needs is time, an extremely long time.

As long as the Siren civilization can continue to exist, it will always wait for the "opportunity" to appear.

…

The sudden appearance of the Imperial Viscount gave the Sirens an illusion that the "opportunity" had finally appeared.

But Chen Qi didn't want to be the savior of the Siren civilization at all.

On the contrary, he was planning to deal a heavy blow to the Siren civilization.

…

Previously, in order to save money, the Siren civilization was very stingy and refused to release all the life quota.

But after Chen Qi took charge of the [Soul Point], he would not "save" for the Siren civilization.

The selfless Viscount of the Empire decided to fill every inch of the Boundless Kingdom with life.

He went all in with 129,600 trillion life quotas.

…

Of course, the Viscount of the Empire would not do good things for nothing.

In order to ensure that every life can be marked with his own mark, Chen Qi directly used the method of "inverted tree".

If everything goes as desired, then the 129,600 trillion lives born will all be the "subjects" of the Imperial Viscount.

…

The current borderless country is built on life.

If all life recognized Chen Qi, this world would naturally belong to him.

It would be useless even if the Sirens Ancestor and Zeami disagreed.

…

Chen Qi's move is to "erode and swallow" the world with his life.

This time, Chen Qi does not plan to be the [Ancestor of Man] anymore, but wants to be the true master of the world.

Unfortunately, Zeami and the Sirens Progenitor seem to have different opinions.

Due to their mischief, the new lives conceived by the upside-down tree died in the womb before they were even born.
