Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate.

Chapter 1318 Origin
"I don't know where the Grim Reapers came from, or whether they were once an intelligent civilization, but one thing I am absolutely certain of."

"That is the birth of the Grim Reapers, originating from a fall from a higher dimension."

"I knew this perfectly well when I was born from nothingness."

……

Those who emerge from the void in the realm of celestial beings naturally possess an instinct to sense their own kind.

In His perception, the Grim Reapers were "older brothers" who were more powerful and more authentic than Himself.

……

In other words, the Grim Reapers also crawled out of the "nothingness".

It's just that they're doing much better now, and they've already got one foot in the sand.

……

The reason they only have half a leg is because the Grim Reapers have even greater ambitions.

They were not content with merely existing in the world (they created the underworld).

They fantasize about returning to their former position and continuing to stand in higher dimensions.

……

"The Grim Reapers are very likely a legendary advanced civilization, but they fell from a higher dimension."

"The great destruction of this world's civilization a million years ago may be related to the fall of the Grim Reapers."

"For higher-dimensional beings, living in the real world is like being in prison."

"They will surely try every means to return to higher dimensions."

"But those who have already fallen are simply unable to do it on their own."

"If they were capable, they would have left this cesspool of the mortal world long ago!"

……

Since the Grim Reapers are unable to return to higher dimensions, they can only rely on "external forces".

Or rather, "borrowing" the power of wisdom and civilization.

The simplest way is to "cultivate" a powerful intelligent civilization.

When it advances to a higher civilization, it will replace it.

……

However, this simple method also carries the greatest risk.

Since ancient times, a dragon lying in shallow waters is mocked by shrimp, and a phoenix on land is no better than a chicken.

Given the current "low-dimensional" state of the Grim Reapers, it would be difficult for them to devour an advanced intelligent civilization.

It's impossible to do this 100% of the time.

……

This can be seen from the fact that the Grim Reapers did not completely destroy the Siren civilization.

It should be noted that the Siren civilization had only just begun planning its advancement and had not yet received any "support" from the Grim Reapers.

……

Even so, the Grim Reapers did not, or rather were powerless to, destroy the Siren civilization.

If the Grim Reapers could have easily wiped out the Siren civilization back then, human civilization would absolutely not dare to "challenge" it now.

……

"The cunning Grim Reapers have chosen a safer route."

"They have their eyes on the [soul points] of other intelligent civilizations."

"The Grim Reapers are delusional in trying to convert the soul points of other intelligent civilizations into their own."

"Or rather, use it as a stepping stone."

"As long as they have enough Soul Points, the Grim Reapers will eventually be able to reach the threshold of higher dimensions and leap into them."

……

The Immortal Realm itself was unaware of how it came to know the Death Gods' plans.

Perhaps it is a legacy from the Heavenly Emperor.

When the Heavenly Emperor was "promoted," he discovered the secrets of the Death Gods and "passed down" this information.

……

The Heavenly Emperor believed that the Grim Reapers had already arranged everything when they "fell".

The Grim Reapers performed special "treatment" on the "soul points" from their fall from higher dimensions.

...The legacy obtained from the [Immortal Realm] did not elaborate on it in detail.

However, through this process, the soul points of the Grim Reapers became "entangled" with the soul points of the intelligent civilizations that subsequently emerged.

Or rather, the Grim Reapers used their "fallen" soul points to influence the birth of intelligent civilization in this world.

……

After the emergence of this intelligent civilization, this world community has repeatedly explored beyond the outer ring of the world.

Although the endings are mostly tragic, one conclusion has been widely accepted.

That was the desolate outer world, unlike the thriving world community in this area.

Intelligent civilizations from the outside world are extremely rare.

……

The intelligent civilizations of this world have various speculations about this strange situation.

But the most mainstream view is simply that the inner and outer rings of the world are the chosen land.

Just as soils vary in fertility and barrenness, so too should the world's communities be.

However, the reason for this difference remains a mystery to intelligent civilizations.

……

"The birth of intelligent civilizations originated from a point in a higher dimension that was falling and became entangled with life in the three-dimensional world."

"The probability of a falling point becoming entangled with life is extremely low."

“Normally, a single world community should not have millions of intelligent civilizations emerging, and continuously emerging.”

"In other words, it is the norm for a world to have an extremely rare number of intelligent civilizations."

“The kind of involution that occurs in the inner and outer ring worlds is truly an anomaly.”

……

The reason why there are so many intelligent civilizations in this world is because of the "gift" of the Grim Reapers.

Those "high-dimensional points" that are in a state of decline are very likely brought by the Grim Reapers from higher-dimensional spacetime.

It is precisely because of this connection that the Grim Reapers are able to levy a "death tax" on all intelligent civilizations.

……

Of course, the "death tax" can only maintain the existence of the underworld, preventing the Grim Reapers from falling into the void again.

What the Grim Reapers truly desire is for this world to be a place where people of diverse talents flourish and where wisdom and civilization abound.

Only in this way, when the number of intelligent civilizations reaches a certain extreme value.

Only then can they begin their "return" plan.

……

To achieve this goal, the Grim Reapers have gone to great lengths to manage both the inner and outer ring worlds.

If we want the number of intelligent civilizations to continue to increase, we cannot allow them to become too "in-competitive".

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be that the "losses" are too severe; it would be even worse if the Gu King were to be unearthed.

……

Once a "dominant" level intelligent civilization emerges, they will surely challenge the status of the Grim Reapers.

Even if the Grim Reapers are "veteran players" returning to the starting village, they can still fail if they are not careful.

It is precisely to prevent this situation from occurring that the Grim Reapers stir up trouble in the world, even going so far as to directly nip their "opponents" in the bud.

Unfortunately, the Grim Reapers encountered human civilization.

……

"The path to dimensional ascension that the Heavenly Emperor took back then was practically a race against death, or rather, a radical approach."

"The Fourth Heavenly Dynasty's massacre of alien civilizations has greatly offended the Grim Reapers."

"If the Heavenly Emperor were to truly pave this path, then the Grim Reapers would have no role to play."

"It can be said that the birth of the Fourth Heavenly Dynasty is human civilization's way of confronting the Grim Reaper."

"It's a pity that I, the Emperor, failed to see through all of this back then and became a pawn for those three old guys."

……

A host of regrets flashed through the mind of the [Earthly Immortal Realm].

This time, He will definitely not lose again.

Let alone the fact that his opponent only possesses a "Death Eye," even if the real Death God were to stand in his way, he would still kill him without hesitation.
