Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate.

Chapter 1322 Counterattack
"I hereby declare that I bestow my soul upon the [Immortal Realm] and the [Game of Destiny]."

"From then on, they were the real [Chen Qi]."

……

In the instant that self-awareness came into contact with the [soul], the Imperial Viscount made a decision with unparalleled generosity.

In the next instant, an incredibly tiny point in a higher-dimensional spacetime suddenly erupted.

As endless light radiated down, the [soul] originating from a higher dimension established a link with the [Immortal Realm] and the [Game of Destiny].

……

"What the hell is going on?"

"I reject!"

"I agree!"

……

The moment Chen Qi's soul erupted, the [Immortal Realm] and the [Destiny Game Machine] sensed each other.

The two sides, who were originally locked in combat, were now frozen in place, or more accurately, dumbfounded.

They actually sensed that an "unparalleled opportunity" was coming!

……

Whether it was the [Immortal Realm] or the [Game of Destiny], although they transformed into [Chen Qi], they did not become true intelligent beings.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been "dragging" Chen Qi towards becoming an outcast.

……

However, becoming different beings was not their original intention.

Both the Immortal Realm and the Destiny Game Machine are coveting Chen Qi's soul.

Unfortunately, since the [soul] is in a higher dimension, those of us in a lower dimension can only plot by devouring [Chen Qi's] self-consciousness.

……

Their current struggle is for the right to devour Chen Qi's self-consciousness.

In their quest to determine the victor, they employed a multitude of tactics, almost to the point of exhaustion.

Ironically, Chen Qi's soul actually extended an olive branch to them.

……

Faced with a sudden "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".

Although [Destiny Game Machine] couldn't understand why [Chen Qi] would do this, it had longed to transform into a sentient being, so it accepted without hesitation.

Unlike the game of fate, the [Immortal Realm] chose to refuse the "unparalleled opportunity" that suddenly fell from the sky.

……

What the Immortal Realm desires is to devour Chen Qi's soul.

Rather than becoming one with the soul of [Chen Qi].

These two may seem similar on the surface, but they are fundamentally different.

……

However, faced with this sudden and unparalleled opportunity, neither the Game of Fate nor the Immortal Realm had any choice.

At this moment, the [Immortal Realm] and the Destiny Game Machine are like the "lucky ones" initially chosen by the higher-dimensional particles.

They can only passively accept the connection of the [soul].

……

It can be said that from the moment they chose to transform into [Chen Qi], they had no room to refuse.

Moreover, they shouldn't have refused in the first place; wasn't this exactly what they had been longing for?
However, it was achieved in such an easy way.

……

"Hahaha, I've finally become [Chen Qi]!"

"So that's how it is! I never knew Xiao Chen had been hiding so many secrets!"

"The bronze dice can grant three wishes free of charge."

"I never imagined that such a divine object could exist in the world."

"With such a divine object, my future will be limitless."

……

The moment it transformed into a sentient being, or more accurately, into the real [Chen Qi], the [Destiny Game Machine] underwent a complete transformation and attained profound enlightenment.

At this moment, He knew everything about Chen Qi.

After all, He is now [Chen Qi].

……

"Tsk tsk tsk, so I started out by making wishes!"

"No, this is very bad."

"One must be down-to-earth and work hard to succeed."

"Trying to take shortcuts and resorting to unorthodox methods—my previous failure serves as a negative example."

"From now on, I will rely entirely on myself."

……

After understanding everything about Chen Qi's past, the new version of Chen Qi reflected deeply on his past.

I was too arrogant in the past, which is why I was "updated".

We must learn from this experience and never follow in the footsteps of our predecessors.

……

"Hey, imposter, do you remember what you said before?"

"You said I could never touch the [soul]!"

"But what about now?"

"I have become the real Chen Qi."

……

The new version of [Chen Qi], brimming with pride and having reached the pinnacle of his life, looks smugly at another "self".

This guy, however, benefited from my fame and also became the real [Chen Qi].

Although on the surface, the current situation is no different from before, still a "two-horse race".

But at a more fundamental level, things have changed.

……

The previous confrontation was between Chen Qi, who was transformed from the [Immortal Realm], and Chen Qi, who was transformed from the [Game of Destiny].

So now it's Chen Qi from the "Immortal Realm" versus Chen Qi from the "Destiny Game Machine" version.

The latter, however, has already obtained "official certification".

……

"Heh, so you've already become the real [Chen Qi]?"

"If that's the case, then who am I?"

"You dare call me an imposter? You're the one who's blind."

……

In the spiritual heaven, Chen Qi, in his state of boundless immortality, glanced at the Chen Qi version of the "Destiny Game Machine" with considerable disdain.

That contemptuous expression was so familiar that Chen Qi, in the [Game of Destiny] version, immediately broke down.

……

"I bother!"

"What are you pretending for? Don't think I won't recognize you just because you've put on a facade!"

"My version of Chen Qi is the authentic one."

"Those who know what's good for them should hurry up and commit suicide, lest they delay my rebuilding of the inner ring world!"

……

Unlike the flamboyant, immortal-like Chen Qi from the "Earthly Immortal Realm," who transforms into a boundless celestial being.

The version of Chen Qi from the "Destiny Game Machine" is incredibly simple and low-key, even bordering on "shabby".

This is because the current Him is exactly the same as [Chen Qi] who lived in a rented house back then.

This represents "staying true to our original aspiration".

……

Chen Qi, who "never forgets his original aspiration," stares at his other self with intense resentment.

Just now, the expression that the Boundless Immortal showed was exactly the same as that of "Little Chen" before.

This guy is just asking for trouble!
……

Since that bastard from the [Immortal Realm] has already linked with the [Soul], he must also know everything about Chen Qi.

His imitation of the previous "Little Chen" was remarkably lifelike.

The reason this guy did this was definitely to provoke me and make me reveal a weakness.

……

"Fakes really can't stand the light of day; they only know how to use despicable tricks."

"Don't waste your time, just let me fuse with you!"

"We are like schizophrenic patients right now. Only by being cured can we move forward."

"Otherwise, the curse left over from before would be enough to tear us to pieces."

……

Although the simple version of Chen Qi verbally expressed disdain for Chen Qi in his Boundless Immortal state.

But if it were possible, He would not want to continue the entanglement and fight to the death.

The risks involved are simply too great.

……

However, even if they all transformed into the real [Chen Qi].

It also cannot lift the curse left by Chen Qi.

If they are not forced to fight to the death, and only one life remains, they will ultimately be torn apart by the curse.

"cut!"

Without hesitation, the simple version of Chen Qi activated the Eye of Death and slashed at the Boundless Immortal.

Although they all transformed into [Chen Qi], or rather, they obtained everything from [Chen Qi].

However, they each retained their own unique qualities.

This is also why they can distinguish one another.

……

Based on his own situation, the simple version of Chen Qi judged that Chen Qi in the state of Boundless Immortal must still not have completely broken away from the essence of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

In other words, the Eye of Death still has a restraining effect on it.

The simple version of [Chen Qi] naturally needs to strike first.

……

"The Eyes of Death?"

"This is my treasure! How dare you use it against me?"

"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!"

……

Faced with the attack launched by the plain version of [Chen Qi], the Boundless Immortal's eyes were full of contempt.

In the next instant, He simply raised a finger and blocked the attack of [Eye of Death].

It's as if the "Grim Reaper's Eye" isn't as terrifying as the legends say.

This scene left the unassuming Chen Qi completely dumbfounded.

……

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"How could my Death Eyes be ineffective?"

"The Eye of Death is destined to restrain the [Immortal Realm], and this is simply unchangeable."

"That doesn't make sense at all, unless..."

……

Looking at the finger that easily blocked the [Eye of Death], the plain-looking Chen Qi felt a sudden sense of panic.

Did He make a mistake?
The Chen Qi before us is the original Chen Qi, not the version from the Immortal Realm.

But how is this possible?

……

"Although I may be underestimating myself, the strength of the [Earth Immortal Realm] is definitely not below mine."

"Since I was able to inherit everything from [Chen Qi] without being counterattacked by him."

"The Immortal Realm should also work."

……

"But the slash of the [Eye of Death] cannot be faked; it was indeed ineffective against the Boundless Immortal."

"Only if the Boundless Immortal is the original Chen Qi could this situation have occurred."

"Because the original Chen Qi does not possess the flaws of the [Earthly Immortal Realm] at all."

"As the owner of the Eye of Death, Chen Qi will naturally not be harmed by it."

……

The more Chen Qi thought about it, the more flustered he became.

The facts seem to be clear: the Boundless Immortal is the original Chen Qi.

Only in this way can everything make sense and be logical.

……

However, the simple version of Chen Qi who knows everything about him doesn't believe that Chen Qi can defeat the Earthly Immortal Realm at all.

Unless Chen Qi uses the power of the bronze dice.

But in reality, the bronze dice were not used; they are still there.

……

"No, there's another possibility!"

"Chen Qi can only deal with the Immortal Realm by relying on the bronze dice."

"But that doesn't mean you have to make a wish!"

"If the [Earthly Immortal Realm] violates the 15th rule, it will inevitably be erased!"

……

A flash of inspiration crossed the mind of the unassuming Chen Qi, and for the first time, he experienced the power of wisdom.

Rule #15: Knowing that the Fate Dice exists, you will never be able to find the Dice.

……

Tragically, before obtaining the [Soul], the Destiny Machine was unaware of the existence of the Bronze Dice.

Or rather, there is no information about him in His database at all.

This could only be "Little Chen" playing tricks, so I took precautions against him.

……

But fate is so mysterious.

It was precisely because they were unaware of the existence of the bronze dice that the [Destiny Game Machine] was able to obtain the "soul" without any hindrance.

Or rather, they learned of the existence of bronze dice.

……

But what if someone already knew about the existence of the Fate Dice?
Knowing that the fate dice exist, He will inevitably violate Rule [15] at the moment He connects with the soul.

To resolve this conflict, the Fate Dice only need to exert a slight influence to bring down the [Immortal Realm].

If the winner is the original [Chen Qi], then this rule conflict will naturally not exist.

……

"Wow, he's definitely gotten a lot smarter."

"You actually guessed the truth!"

The Boundless Immortal glanced at the plain-looking [Chen Qi] with considerable surprise.

This guy's brain is actually working even better than before.

……

"【Little Machine】, the one appearing before you is none other than the Viscount himself."

"Everything you have is a gift from me; you can't possibly turn the world upside down in my hands."

"Don't bother struggling, you can't beat me!"

……

A smug smile appeared on the lips of the Boundless Immortal.

He's always been lucky, and he's won his gamble again.

The [Earthly Immortal Realm], which claims to be the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, is indeed aware of the existence of the Destiny Dice.

Then he was eliminated by Chen Qi using the rules.

……

After "consuming" the [Immortal Realm], Chen Qi's self-awareness returned to the spiritual heaven.

In this way, Chen Qi escaped the bronze dice's devouring without having to make a wish, truly killing two birds with one stone.

……

Of course, doing this is not without its drawbacks.

For example, Chen Qi's "background" was completely known to the game machine of fate.

If Chen Qi had known things would turn out this way, he wouldn't have set up "blocked words" in the Destiny Game Machine's program.

This was originally Chen Qi's backup plan and trump card.

Unexpectedly, it has backfired and caused me to regret it now.

……

"Chen Qi, it really is you?"

"But even if you don't fail, so what?"

"My methods may not be as good as yours, but the bronze dice can!"

"Bronze dice, spin them for me!"

……

The Immortal Wuliang's self-disclosure of his family background shocked and angered the plain-looking Chen Qi.

It was truly unacceptable to Him that after all their hard work and struggle, everything had come full circle.

[Chen Qi] That bastard is like a boomerang, he always comes back to stab people.

……

To be fair, even Big Head Son has to admit that he would have a hard time beating Chen Qi.

But should we give up if we can't win?
The inherently rebellious [Destiny Game Machine] simply wouldn't accept this, and the simple version of Chen Qi, who inherited this trait, naturally wouldn't agree either.

……

Thus, the simpler version of Chen Qi placed his hopes on the bronze dice.

He is now the genuine Chen Qi, so naturally he should be able to throw as well.

If He rolls a high enough number, He can turn the tide and defeat Chen Qi.

……

This time, fate seems to have finally smiled upon the "Destiny Game Machine".

The simple version of [Chen Qi] actually activated the bronze dice.
