Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate.

Chapter 978 Ancient God's Egg
"Congratulations, Brother Chen, on your promotion to Weaver!"

"Brother, you are worthy of being the rare genius of our Tianwu Spell Academy. As expected, you are the first one to complete the promotion."

"It is the honor of a lifetime for me to work with you."

"If I wasn't at the South Heaven Gate right now, I wouldn't even have the chance to meet my brother!"

On the South Heaven Gate, Gu Yunqing's heart was filled with emotions and he couldn't help sighing.

……

As early as several days ago, Gu Yunqing heard the news that Chen Qi was promoted to weaver.

To be honest, if the source of the information was not from the "national teacher" Follet.

He thought someone was spreading rumors.

……

It is not easy to become a weaver.

Although Gu Yunqing also admitted that "Junior Brother Chen" was extremely talented.

But cultivation takes time.

So many old disciples who ranked before "Junior Brother Chen" have not yet been promoted, why would they be overtaken by him, a "new wave"?
……

However, such an incredible thing actually happened.

Even Gu Yunqing knew another piece of gossip.

That is, the Viscount of the Empire completely surrendered to the school rules, which made it even more difficult for him to accept.

……

It’s not that Gu Yunqing is jealous, but his heart and imagination are not strong enough.

He wouldn't even dare to dream of completely submitting to school rules.

But Chen Qi did it so easily, and didn't even experience backlash from school rules.

Is this really something humans can do?
……

After a few days of buffering, Gu Yunqing thought he could calmly accept the fact that "Senior Chen" was promoted to a weaver.

He could even face the Viscount of the Empire calmly.

However, when he actually met Chen Qi, Gu Yunqing found that he could no longer remain calm.

……

Although the Imperial Viscount who appeared at the Nantianmen was an ordinary man, Gu Yunqing still felt like he was facing a mountain, more than a head lower than him.

It was not until this moment that Gu Yunqing truly realized how heavy the weight of the Weaver was.

Its presence alone is enough to suffocate me.

……

Fortunately, Brother Chen is really a good person.

He is a very low-key person and has no airs at all.

Otherwise, how could Gu Yunqing dare to be so friendly with the weaver?

If it were in the era of ancient cultivation, this would be extremely disrespectful.

It wouldn’t be unfair to be beaten to death!

……

"Brother Gu, why do we have to be so polite when speaking to each other?"

"I promised you before that I would show you the details of the promotion of the Kingdom of Droya."

"As a brother, I always keep my word. You better watch out, little brother."

"There are a lot of virtual monsters that appeared during this promotion."

……

Since ancient times, the more powerful a cultivator becomes, the fewer friends he has.

Chen Qi didn't have a very intuitive understanding of this before.

But after he was promoted to Weaver, he felt it clearly.

……

Ever since the news of Chen Qi's promotion to weaver came out, he has received congratulations from many "friends".

Yet without exception, they have all changed.

Even with Feng Zining and Shen Yuying, who had the closest relationship with Chen Qi, Chen Qi could sense "caution" in their words.

……

Naturally, Chen Qi wanted to change this.

He still wanted to be as approachable as before, but his strength simply did not allow it.

For the practitioners who are weaving the following levels, they cannot even hear Chen Qi's voice, let alone meet him.

……

These days, Chen Qi can only rely on the Internet to keep in touch with the outside world.

Gu Yunqing was the first "friend" he personally came into contact with.

This is because Chen Qi is now in the spiritual dimension and has only projected a trace of authority onto the South Heaven Gate.

Otherwise, Gu Yunqingzhen would be "unworthy" of meeting Chen Qi, as he said.

……

"brush!"

The Viscount of the Empire pointed casually, and everything that happened in the Kingdom of Droyal was presented in front of Gu Yunqing in an extremely realistic way.

Gu Yunqing initially wanted to say more words of gratitude, but the moment he saw the virtual monster, he was immediately fascinated.

No Silver Apostle who aspires to become a Weaver can resist the attraction of the Void Monsters.

In particular, the lifelike virtual monster in front of him was evolved by the Viscount of the Empire himself.

This person has already been promoted to a weaver, so his understanding of the virtual monsters cannot be wrong.

……

"Is this what happened that day in the Kingdom of Droya?"

"Humans have become so powerful that they can even raise ancient gods."

"But what do they want?"

Chen Qi demonstrated without any concealment, and Ulma, who kept kowtowing, naturally saw it secretly.

……

Since the establishment of the World Government, illusions and demons have not entered the real world on a large scale.

As for the existence of the virtual monster, Ulma and his friends had only heard of it but had never seen it.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ulma is probably the only one in the Void who has seen a Void monster while alive.

After all, all other illusions that entered the real world are already dead.

……

After all, Ulma was the Marquis of Wanfa when he was alive. Although his strength is gone, he still has some vision.

So the moment he saw the virtual monster evolved by Chen Qi, he saw some clues.

Humans actually hatched the prehistoric ancient gods. What are they trying to do?

……

The inner and outer ring worlds have been developing for millions of years, and the Void Leech Clan was much stronger than humans back then.

They are firmly in the top three rows on the [Chart of Living Beings' Positions].

So Ulma really knows a lot about the many secrets of the world.

……

For example, regarding the "Ancient God's Egg", this thing was discovered as early as the era of the Celestial Dragons.

At the beginning, the Celestial Dragons were also very interested in it.

After all, these big carrots would even eat the Dikla dragon, let alone the prehistoric ancient gods.

……

However, the Celestial Dragons soon discovered that the existence of the "Ancient God's Egg" was extremely special.

It needs to be hatched before it can be eaten!
The best environment for hatching the eggs of the ancient gods is a spiritual energy that is so rich that it is tangible.

And these spirits must be extremely pure, preferably from the same race.

Ever since the Celestial Dragons embarked on the path of bloodline and true body, their population has become increasingly scarce day by day, so naturally they can only watch helplessly.

……

Of course, as the world overlord, the Celestial Dragons have thought of other solutions.

For example, exploiting weak intelligent races and forcing them to activate the eggs of the ancient gods through sacrifice.

But without exception, the ancient gods hatched by sacrifice are truly evil gods.

They are like termites, devouring the foundation of the entire world.

……

The "Rebellion of the Evil God" was a global crisis with far-reaching consequences that broke out during the period when the Celestial Dragons ruled the world.

It not only destroyed many intelligent races listed in the "Diagram of the Positions of Living Beings".

It has also eroded the foundation of the world's existence.

……

Even after the disaster subsided, the Tianlong people kept the news secret and strictly blocked it.

But the Void Leeches, who were well versed in the mysteries of time and space, still sensed something was wrong. There was a gap in the foundation of the world, which was a fatal thing.

……

According to the subsequent reflection of the Celestial Dragons, the reason why the ancient god became an evil god was due to the special nature of the "Ancient God's Egg".

The essence of the Ancient God's Egg is the fusion of the collapsed prehistoric world and the modern world.

Or it could be some tiny life form originating from prehistoric times, which inherited the great laws of both prehistoric times and the present era.

It is precisely because of the "struggle" between two completely different avenues that the ancient god's egg becomes special.

……

If hatched using the orthodox method, the egg of the ancient god can be nurtured using the spiritual energy of modern life.

Then the life that is hatched will inherit the power of the great laws of the current era.

That is, during the incubation process, the power of the Tao of the current era devoured the power of the Tao of the prehistoric era.

……

And if it is in the form of sacrifice, it is equivalent to exchanging the death of life in the present era for the revival of prehistoric life.

After they hatch, they are particularly uncomfortable with the new world and naturally need to be transformed.

Or destroy the new era and let the world return to the prehistoric era.

This is the reason why the evil god will devour the foundation of the world.

……

learn from mistakes.

As the world overlord at that time, the Celestial Dragons would certainly not allow the evil god to appear again.

So he ordered all intelligent races not to study the hatching of the ancient god's eggs.

He even searched the world and sealed up all the ancient god eggs he could find.

……

However, who could have imagined that hundreds of thousands of years had passed.

The Celestial Dragons have become completely extinct, but the Ancient God's egg was unexpectedly hatched by humans.

Ulma was fortunate enough to witness it with her own eyes. What a blessing!

……

"According to the racial heritage I obtained, the intelligent races at that time unanimously believed that the Ancient God's Egg should not have been hatched in that era!"

"If there are enough living creatures in the world, there will be no need for external intervention. They will hatch naturally on their own."

"However, according to calculations, the number of living beings required to hatch the Ancient God's Egg is simply too large!"

"Tens of trillions of intelligent beings, all of the same species, this is simply unimaginable."

"Unless the world environment becomes suitable for ordinary life to survive, but how is this possible?"

……

Don’t be fooled by the endless vastness of the inner and outer ring worlds, where life seems to be able to reproduce to its heart’s content.

However, due to the existence of violent psionic energy, the space suitable for the survival of intelligent life, especially ordinary life, is limited.

These safe spaces often suddenly become uninhabitable for various reasons.

The result is naturally the large-scale extinction of ordinary life existing in it.

……

And the environment is only one of the factors that affect the population size of intelligent life.

Competition between intelligent life populations also severely restricts the number of intelligent life.

……

Any mature intelligent civilization knows very well that with the accumulation of huge numbers, even an extremely weak intelligent race can give birth to individuals that exceed the limits of their own race's talents.

And these individuals often determine the rise and fall of civilizations.

It can be said that in a world with extraordinary powers, individuals can truly dominate civilization.

……

That’s why everyone developed in this way.

Therefore, intelligent life species are extremely sensitive to the number of individuals in their populations.

In that era of fierce competition among intelligent civilizations.

The masters’ favorite thing to do when they go out is to steal vegetables.

For beings above the Weaver realm, they can easily slaughter tens of millions of ordinary lives.

……

Whether it is the flesh and blood or the soul of intelligent life, they are both extremely valuable resources for cultivation.

Naturally, everyone likes to secretly harvest crops from other people's fields.

One can imagine how difficult it would be for the number of intelligent life forms to exceed one trillion under such circumstances.

What’s more, it may increase dozens of times.

The Celestial Dragons back then had the opportunity to do this, but unfortunately they took another path.

……

"Ulma, is this the secret you want to tell me?"

"Humanity has locked up the Inner Ring World, extracted spiritual energy, and worked hard to multiply the population, just to hatch virtual monsters?"

"Is all this intentional by the World Government?"

Recalling the records about the Ancient God's Egg in the tribe's heritage, Ulma seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately presented them all to the Viscount of the Empire.

Chen Qi naturally accepted all of them.

……

In the era of the Celestial Dragons, the "Hollow Monsters" were once hatched.

Chen Qi really didn't know this.

"The evil god who erodes the foundation of the world", the Celestial Dragons are still as suicidal as ever.

……

If what Ulma said is true, then it is indeed true that only humans can hatch virtual monsters.

But where is the motivation?
Although humans also love to eat, they will not spend such a huge price for just a piece of meat on a plate.

……

Completely isolating the inner and outer ring worlds, the stronger Chen Qi becomes, the more he realizes how incredible and impossible this project is.

Chen Qi is now really curious about what kind of "situation" the world government faced at that time that prompted them to make such a decision.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely a gamble on the fortune of the race, and it is an all-in kind.

……

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Viscount, I have roughly guessed the purpose of the World Government!"

"They hatch and raise virtual monsters in order to repair the sky, or in other words, to restore the foundation of the world."

"If humans want to increase their chances of success in advancing to a higher civilization, this is something they must do."

"Of course, it's also possible that I'm overthinking it!"

"The current Void Monster is too weak. The most it can do is repair the [Bottomless Pit]."

In order to survive, Ulma desperately demonstrated her worth.

Hard work pays off, perhaps because the secrets revealed one after another aroused the interest of the Imperial Viscount.

Ulma actually saw a look of satisfaction in Chen Qi's eyes.

……

"Ulma, there are some things that this Viscount knows clearly, whether you have done them or not!"

"Since you know how to repent, this Viscount will give you one last chance!"

"Don't you want to enter the real world?"

"This Viscount will grant you your wish."

Chen Qi looked at Ulma seriously a few more times. He didn't expect that this guy had quite a lot of knowledge.

This way, there is one more reason to save its life.

……

"Let me return to the real world?"

Ulma felt a little confused. Did happiness come so quickly?
Instinctively, it didn't believe that the Viscount of the Empire was so kind.

……

The next moment, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly spread throughout my body.

Ulma fainted.

In the last moments of her coma, Ulma finally saw the source of her pain.

It was actually a black branch that pierced through his body.

……

Maybe it was a near-death hallucination, but Ulma also saw other traitors.

They were also pierced by black branches, hanging on a giant black tree like hanged ghosts.

Strange, isn’t that the Skull and Bones Society’s sacred tree?
What about this situation on my side?
