Chapter 161: Chapter 127: Dice of Destiny

"This die is what I made my sacrifice to!"

"I’m truly not lying. There’s nothing wrong with my Soul’s structure right now."

In Gutaf’s hand, he used the power of the game to conjure a twenty-sided bronze die that spun and twirled.

It looked so real that every detail was clearly visible.

"The Dice of Destiny!"

"You actually managed to get the Dice of Destiny!"

Yuwen Yong’s voice was practically trembling, as if he had just witnessed the most incredible thing in the World.

"So that’s how it is!"

"I finally understand why your life has been so unbelievable."

"I finally understand how a mere Mortal like you was able to create the King’s Game."

"It was the Dice of Destiny! You obtained the die the Destiny Demon God left behind in this World, and you made a Wish!"

"Only It could have taken a piece of your Soul while leaving it perfectly intact."

"It actually exists!"

Yuwen Yong was utterly floored. He never imagined that, as a brand-new Demon Hunter, he would encounter something even the founding masters had never seen.

The birth of the first Demons, or in other words, the Ancestor Demons, was because of the Dice of Destiny.

The most terrifying thing about Ancestor Demons is that even with holes in their Souls, the overall structure remains stable and doesn’t break down.

Even if their Souls fall to a lower level, they can still ascend again.

They can be promoted from a Low-Position Demon all the way to a High-Rank Demon.

In fact, the original method of Soul Sacrifice was researched and developed by the Ancestor Demons using themselves as the template.

As unbelievable as it sounds, the Ancestor Demons were the inventors of the Soul Sacrifice method.

It was only after they spread the Secret Technique that later Demons were created, which is also why they are called Ancestor Demons.

On their very first day, every Demon Hunter is taught that the Ancestor Demons are the source of all Demons in the World.

Only by eradicating them can Demons be eliminated for good.

You could say that slaying an Ancestor Demon is the ultimate mission and dream of every Demon Hunter.

One can only imagine how screwed Yuwen Yong felt. He’d just become a Demon Hunter and already had to face the final boss.

...

"Young man, calm down, calm down!"

"The die vanished after I made my three Wishes. This one is just an illusion I’ve conjured."

"So that bronze die is what you call the Dice of Destiny. To think it was something left behind in the World by the Destiny Demon God."

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

"Just as I suspected. That thing is truly famous, with a legendary origin."

Gutaf’s eyes filled with greed. Unfortunately for him, he would never see that bronze die again.

He found that die during the darkest time of his life.

It was with that die that he escaped from Black Death Prison, clawed his way up to become president, and ultimately created the King’s Game.

"Why?"

"Why did you become a Demon? Why did you have to Sacrifice your Soul?"

"The legendary Dice of Destiny... isn’t it supposed to grant three wishes for free?"

Yuwen Yong’s eyes were filled with fury—an anger that came from generations of Demon Hunters.

If it weren’t for these Ancestor Demons, the World wouldn’t have given birth to so many Demons.

They must die!

...

"Why?"

"HAHAHA!"

"Because of greed, of course! And because the number I rolled on my third toss wasn’t high enough!"

"My third roll was only a 13, but starting the King’s Game required a 14."

"I had been planning for so long, how could I give up? I could only gamble with my Soul."

At this moment, Gutaf was incredibly sinister and twisted, his whole body radiating greed and malice.

Everything before was just a Disguise. This was his true nature.

"You could have just wished to become a Silver being and gain 300 years of life."

"For an ordinary person, that would’ve been a meteoric rise."

Yuwen Yong’s expression was a complex mix of anger, resentment, indignation, and hope.

If he could obtain the Dice of Destiny, he would definitely wish to eliminate all the Demons in the World.

"A mere Silver being? How could that possibly be enough?"

"I could have had more. I had the chance to have more."

"Believe it or not, if we switched places, you would have made the same choice as me, or perhaps been even greedier."

"That was power leading directly to the Holy Sanctuary! You know better than I do what that means!"

"I have never regretted my choice, because I know I am on the right path."

"Even the Empire cannot stop me."

Black flames ignited around Gutaf. Although his Soul wouldn’t be annihilated, it didn’t mean he was free of Demon Aura.

On the contrary, the Demon Aura originating from the hole in his Soul was purer than that of any other Demon.

In fact, if he wished, he could prevent any trace of his Demon Aura from showing at all.

Gutaf’s only disadvantage was his ignorance. Had he known more about Demons, he never would have spread his Demon Aura so wantonly, letting the entire Inner World know that he was a Demon.

"Demon, don’t make excuses for your greed."

"Low-Position Demon or Ancestor Demon, it doesn’t matter. Today, I will fulfill the mission of a Demon Man and completely erase you!"

"As long as you’re dead, everything can return to normal."

"Gutaf, your legend ends here."

With no more hesitation, Yuwen Yong charged straight across the thirteen steps, making for the throne.
