Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate

[Snake Man] Civilization, this is a name invented by ancient civilization scientists themselves.

The creature that created this ruins has the head of a human and the body of a snake, but it also has 4 arms.

So ancient civilization scientists gave them such a name.

…

According to the research of ancient civilization scientists, the civilization of the snake people was born from eggs.

As for more things, there is no record in the information in Chen Qi's hands.

…

Ancient civilization scientists are a profession that refer to humans who are interested in ancient civilizations and have conducted in-depth research.

They can be ordinary people, extraordinary people, or even [scholars].

But what is quite interesting is that among all the ancient civilization scientists invited by the Kingdom of Chrollo this time, there are no [scholars].

If they said this was not a deliberate screening process, Chen Qi would not believe it at all.

…

"When the Celestial Dragons ruled the world, laying eggs was the trend at that time."

“Even a symbol of racial nobility.”

"Since the snake people's civilization lay eggs, they must have been much better off than humans in that era."

"But I don't know where it ranks in the [Life Status and Karma Map]!"

…

After the Celestial Dragons came to dominate the world, in order to consolidate their rule, they divided all intelligent civilizations into three, six or nine levels, and even compiled a [Chart of the Status and Karma of Living Beings].

[The Chart of Living Beings’ Position and Karma] is shaped like a pyramid, with a total of 9 levels.

It can be said that it is almost identical to the pyramid of the snake people civilization.

In other words, the pyramid shapes of many ancient civilizations are all derived from the "Chart of Living Beings' Position and Karma".

…

In the [Chart of Living Beings’ Positions and Karma], the Celestial Dragons are naturally at the top.

The other intelligent races are divided one by one according to their racial potential.

As far as Chen Qi knew, those big carrots seemed to have racial discrimination against humans, and even classified human civilization into the seventh gear.

They deserve to perish.

…

[The Chart of Life's Position and Karma] was quite popular in that era.

All intelligent civilizations take pride in improving their own level.

And the way for them to improve their ranks is naturally to move closer to the Celestial Dragons.

…

The true bloodline of the Tianlong people was the mainstream of cultivation at that time.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this. It is natural for weak civilizations to worship and learn from powerful civilizations.

But who would have thought that Tianlongren, the big brother who takes the lead, would be so vulnerable.

Not only that, but a large number of younger brothers were also implicated in following him on the streets.

…

"This mural gallery seems to be just telling a story."

"But there is another mystery in it!"

"I just finished reading the whole story, and it only took 10 minutes."

"In other words, this mural corridor is just a 10-minute movie in my eyes."

"But that's only true in my eyes. It's completely different in the eyes of others."

…

Chen Qi stood quietly in the mural corridor with no intention of leaving.

Among the information given by the boss, ancient civilization scientists have conducted long-term research here.

The reason for this is because the "movie duration" that everyone sees here is different.

…

To be more precise, the more powerful the human beings watching, the shorter the movie duration.

The weaker the human being watching, the longer the movie will be.

This is really a very counter-intuitive thing.

…

Chen Qi believes that the reason why the Kingdom of Chrollo recruited ancient civilization scientists is to spend more time on the movie here to get more information.

In the information given by the boss, the work of ancient civilization scientists is indeed concentrated here.

…

"A total of 345 ancient civilization scientists conducted the [Brush Duration] experiment here."

"If you divide the ancient civilization scientists according to their strength."

"The ancient civilization scientists in the controller stage will see at least 10 hours of movies here."

"And when it comes to the transcendent stage, the movie lasts more than a day."

"What's even more incredible are those ancient civilization scientists who are just ordinary humans."

"They felt like they were [immersed in the scene] and spent seven days in the movie."

"What an interesting thing."

…

Chen Qi looked at the data in his hand and marveled.

He has mastered [Information Power] and is a powerful Celestial Master.

But in terms of "capturing" information, he is actually not as good as a mortal.

This is absolutely impossible.

…

"I have a wonderful guess."

"Since you don't tell me the answer, I'll find it myself."

The information in Chen Qi's hands is limited to the research of ancient civilization scientists.

These guys know it but don't know why.

In other words, their main research direction is not focused on "principles".

They specialize in "movie content".

…

What is extremely strange is that everyone is obviously watching the same movie.

It’s just that you can see different durations, but the content you see is also different.

…

What’s even more incredible is that the content seen by the same person multiple times is slightly different.

In other words, every time ancient civilization scientists watch it, they are watching a "new movie."

Maybe they are similar, but they are different after all.

…

"Tap, step!"

With an extremely rigorous experimental attitude, Chen Qi walked up and down the mural corridor 100 times.

That means he made a total of 100 views.

The duration of the movies Chen Qi watched was 10 minutes each time, not more than a second and not more than half a second.

Not only that, the content of the story that Chen Qi saw was exactly the same every time.

Even every frame is perfect.

…

Finally, Chen Qi came to a conclusion.

What he saw was the [original version] and the correct answer.

Others increased the duration because they were "brain-feeding" while watching the movie.

…

[The original version] only gave a rough main line of the story, so Chen Qi only saw the main line.

But other humans made "brain additions" while watching.

So the length of time everyone sees is different.

Therefore, subtle differences will appear when the same person watches it twice.

Because every time you watch it, it’s equivalent to “creating it again.”

…

"The snake-man civilization is really an amazing [egg], it can actually allow the brains of intelligent life forms to [self-create]."

"This is much better than letting AI create!"

"Well, it's not on the same level at all."

Chen Qi, who had completely verified his suspicion, looked at the mural corridor in shock.

…

The skills of Snake Man Civilization are much more powerful than random illusions.

This kind of brain-filling technique is purely to let human beings deceive themselves.

The person being deceived is still immersed in the situation and may not even notice it at all.

But why?

Why would the Snake Civilization set up such a method?

…

"The Kingdom of Chrollo must have discovered the secret hidden in the murals long ago."

"It's even possible that they know more."

"Otherwise they wouldn't recruit ancient civilization scientists for research."

"Is it because ancient civilization scientists have stronger brainstorming abilities? Or maybe it's other factors."

"Otherwise, with the stingy personality of the Chrollo Kingdom, they can just find someone from the country to increase their time limit if they want to be alone."

…

The boss of Lingjiu Society is still very kind.

The information given to Chen Qi included the plot imagined by ancient civilization scientists.

It has to be said that human beings have great imaginations. It is obviously the same main line of the story, but the stories written are completely different.

In particular, the main plot of [the original version] ended abruptly, and the final fate of the snake people civilization was not explained at all.

Then ancient civilization scientists can only express themselves.

…

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Chrollo seems to have chosen the wrong person, and the literary creation ability of ancient civilization scientists is still a bit poor.

Judging from the artistic quality of Chen Qi, a senior literary and artistic creator, 99.9% of the plots imagined by ancient civilization scientists ended in unfinished business.

In particular, a few "rebellious" guys actually imagined that the snake-man civilization was enslaving humans.

Are you sure this isn't a spy from the Skeleton Society?

…

"Why is there this level?"

"Or what does the Kingdom of Chrollo want to find in this level?"

"Could it be possible to find the lost snake-people civilization by guessing the [correct] ending?"

The pyramid of the snake people civilization is extremely huge, but there is nothing inside, not even burial objects.

…

If there wasn't that big black snake, it could also be interpreted as "the tomb robbers evacuated it."

But now, the most likely possibility is that there is nothing in the pyramid.

No wonder Wang Tianlang stayed here for several years and only gave Chen Qi a piece of fallen snake scale as a congratulatory gift.

The truth should be that there really is nothing here.

…

"Tap, step!"

After deciphering the secret of the mural corridor, Chen Qi continued to move forward.

After walking through another long period of darkness, a building emitting billions of brilliance appeared in front of Chen Qi.

It was a huge turntable.

…

The turntable has nine rings and is composed of tens of thousands of regular icosahedral bronze dice.

On the die surface, images of intelligent races are carved.

Chen Qi walked under the turntable with great interest and casually moved the only pointer on the turntable.

…

The next moment, the pointer expanded and contracted erratically and rotated rapidly.

But soon, the pointer stopped again.

By coincidence, the pointer stopped on the dice representing humans.

But after seeing the human images depicted on the dice, Chen Qi felt that the snake-people civilization deserved to be extinct.

You bastard, for portraying our ancestors so ugly, it's definitely racist.

…

Chen Qi turned it a dozen times in succession. No matter how hard he tried, the pointer would steadily stop on the dice representing humans.

Obviously, this turntable has an intelligent life recognition mechanism.

Even though Chen Qi looks different from his ancestor now, he is still of the same origin.

In other words, no matter what kind of intelligent life turns the needle, the needle will point to its corresponding race.

…

"interesting."

"But what's the use of this thing?"

Chen Qi looked at the nine-ring carousel thoughtfully.

This thing should be a variant of the Celestial Dragon's [Creation Chart of Living Beings].

…

But the snake man was so bold that he took the place of the dragon man and used the dice representing his own race as the core of the turntable.

It seems that the construction time of this ruins must have been after the fall of the Tianlong people.

Perhaps the Celestial Dragons at that time were already extinct.

Otherwise, the snake people would never dare to seek the throne.

…

"Whoa, whoa!"

Chen Qi tried to move the bronze dice in the turntable. As a result, except for the [Snake Man] who was nailed to death by the pointer, all the bronze dice representing other intelligent races could be moved.

In other words, the [Snake Man] has locked himself at the top of the [Life Status Map].

They want to imitate the Celestial Dragons and dominate the world and rule all intelligent races.

This is really a sweet dream even before death!

…

Isn’t [Snake Man] in a state of panic all day long under the gaze of [Demon Eye]?

Why are you so ambitious again?

Chen Qi looked at the bronze dice in the turntable and knew the answer without guessing.

…

After staying in front of the carousel for a while, Chen Qi chose to move on.

However, there are no special buildings in the next journey, only endless and long darkness.

If Chen Qi hadn't been very sure that he had not been displaced in time and space, he would have thought that he was back in the belly of the [Black and White Serpent].

…

The black and white snake statue in front of the school means that as long as you are afraid, you will not be able to get out of the darkness.

The darkness in the pyramid in front of us also has similar means.

As long as you feel desperate, you will be completely trapped here.

In other words, only with hope can we get out of the darkness.

…

For Chen Qi, these methods are really meaningless and have no difficulty.

Chen Qi walked leisurely and leisurely forward in the darkness.

Soon, light appeared in front of him.

When Chen Qi was exposed to the light, he realized that he was standing at the top of the pyramid.

The source of light is the eye embedded in the pyramid.

…

Chen Qi now confirmed that the thing on the top of the pyramid was indeed not a pearl, but an eyeball.

It even has the eyes of a big black snake.

After all, Chen Qi is too familiar with the weird aura it emits.

It's exactly the same as the one on the ten thousand year old snake scale.

…

"I didn't expect the big black snake to be a one-eyed snake."

"This eye seems to have been refined into some kind of time and space treasure."

"The Kingdom of Chrollo didn't steal this eye directly. It seems that the plan is really big."

Chen Qi stared at the huge eye for half an hour. Even with his attainments in alchemy and time and space, he could not fully understand the eye.

But Chen Qi was not completely without gains.

…

Chen Qi's intuition told him that the time and space treasure transformed from the snake's eyes should be the same type of thing as the [Blood Moon] of [Time and Space Demon Spirit] Bellucci.

Chen Qi is extremely sure of this.

After completing the energy transformation of his physical body, Chen Qi's Chaos Heart Ape form became more complete and his abilities became more powerful.

His perception of the [Blood Moon] naturally became a little clearer.

Unfortunately, it was only a little bit, but it was enough for Chen Qi to make a judgment.

…

"Chen Qi, do you understand?"

Just when Chen Qi was staring at that eye in a daze, the goose feather fan in Chen Qi's hand trembled.

Then a woman's voice reached Chen Qi's ears.

At that moment, Chen Qi was completely stunned.

…

This was not because he was scared, but because the sound was so nice.

It is like the sound of nature and the song of birds.

Chen Qi could swear to God that this was the second best sound he had ever heard in his life.

As for the best thing, of course it is the bird song that is the source of Xiaobai’s spirituality.

…

"Senior, I only understand most of it, but I also have a bold guess."

"What I saw just now is probably not what this ruins really looks like."

"Level 1, the really important thing is the first level."

"Only those who fall into deep sleep can truly witness and experience the mystery of this ruins."

Chen Qi, who came back to his senses, gave his guess.

The boss was finally willing to speak, and of course he had to take the time to ask for advice.

…

"Chen Qi, you are right, it is true."

"Only those who fall asleep can truly touch the ruins."

"But I think you seem to have guessed something, tell me!"

"Big Brother"'s voice was still so pleasant, and Chen Qi felt inexplicably happy listening to it.

This is not some extraordinary method, but the sound itself is mysterious.

…

"Senior, if you want to understand the mystery of this ruins, I think we must first start with the purpose of its construction."

"The situation of the snake people civilization when it built this ruins has been clearly revealed in the mural gallery."

"They are infected with the [Ancestor Virus·Eye of Truth] and there is no way they can get rid of it."

"Snake people, as egg-laying beings, must have a very high level on the life chart."

"But the Heavenly Dragons are all dead. As the younger brother, the Snake Civilization, one can imagine the despair in its heart."

Chen Qi talked eloquently and expressed his thoughts.

…

"No intelligent race is willing to be destroyed. The snake people civilization will definitely struggle to the death."

"Based on my understanding of the Ancestral Virus, once an intelligent race is infected, it will either be completely assimilated. Or it will be destroyed like the Celestial Dragons."

"It is impossible for the Celestial Dragons to assimilate the Ancestral Virus, and it is certainly impossible for the Snake Civilization who follows the Celestial Dragons to copy their homework."

"So if the snake people civilization wants to save itself, it is almost impossible to achieve it."

"There were many civilizations that were more powerful than the Snake Civilization back then, but they were all wiped out by the Ancestral Virus."

…

The intelligent civilization that was destroyed by the [Ancestor Virus·Eye of Truth] was not just the Celestial Dragons.

It can be said that the first few levels on the life karma map have been erased.

Otherwise, viviparous birth would not have become the absolute mainstream of today’s intelligent civilization.

When Chen Qi talked about the destructiveness of the ancestor virus, he had the attitude of an old expert.

What I say is the truth.

…

"It's almost impossible to save yourself?"

"Interesting, it seems that you think the snake-man civilization has not been completely extinct."

"Then how did they get rid of the ancestor virus!"

The "big boss" didn't care at all about Chen Qi's expert demeanor.

On the contrary, he was quite interested in listening.

Chen Qi naturally wants to "show off" a bit, so there is nothing wrong with increasing his favorability.

…

"Senior, even though our human civilization has now become the world's hegemon, we still cannot get rid of the [Ancestor Virus]."

"I think there are only two ways for the snake people civilization to get rid of the [Ancestor Virus], or to escape the gaze of the evil eye they fear."

"Either die or [change the past]."

"And the snake people civilization actually chose to integrate the two paths."

"Turn sleep into death, and then wake up in another parallel world without the ancestor virus."

"The mural gallery has revealed everything a long time ago. What the ancient civilization scientists have figured out is just parallel time and space."

…

Chen Qi gave his final conjecture that the entire race of the snake people civilization fell into a deep sleep.

For them, this is naturally equivalent to "the world has been destroyed."

Then they developed, or could be said to have escaped, to another parallel time and space without the Progenitor Virus.
