The Fate Dice That Kept Swinging Back and Forth

Day Fifteen. You wanted to feed the fruit borne by the Bone Tree to the cat, but it looked utterly disgusted.

In the end, the fruit went into the Ghost Infant's stomach. You discovered that their strength had increased dramatically.

If divided by rank, the Ghost Infant had now reached Peak First Order.

Day Sixteen. You put the cat into your backpack and went out with the Ghost Infant and the Awakened team.

You slaughtered Vicious Ghosts all along the way.

The Ghost Infant stabbed them in the back while the Awakened finished them off. You moved forward unhindered!

You arrived at the Eastern Suburbs. You wanted to take out the Human Head Lanterns in one fell swoop. With your hands itching for action, you rolled the Fate Dice again.

Result: 1.

You sensed that something was terribly wrong and immediately wanted to flee with the team.

But the moment you turned around, you ran into a group of Paper People carrying coffins.

Among them were not only Floral Jacket Paper Figures, but also large numbers of Paper Dogs, Paper Oxen, Paper Sheep, Paper Horses, Paper Wolves, and Paper Tigers.

You stared at each other for a moment before a fierce clash erupted!

During the battle, the Human Head Lanterns floating on the river also began acting strangely. They actually came back to life, rose into the air, and joined the encirclement against you.

The Awakened team was scattered and soon came under pursuit by Vicious Ghosts, suffering heavy casualties.

You were also besieged by four Paper Tigers and found yourself in grave danger.

Gray Light flickered in your eyes, while thunder roared in your hands.

You fought a bloody battle.

You shattered two tigers with Gray Light.

You beat one tiger to death with a flurry of punches.

But you were also severely wounded.

You began to flee.

You wanted to command the Ghost Infant to rescue them, but they had already suffered heavy losses under the Human Head Lanterns' attacks.

At the critical moment, you gritted your teeth and rolled the Fate Dice again.

Amid the rustling, the dice seemed to have seen a ghost. It refused to stop, spinning continuously.

You fought while retreating, and the wounds on your body kept multiplying.

When you were about to collapse, the dice finally stopped. Result: 6!

At this point, the distant Paper People seemed to think that you were finished. They lifted the coffins and continued on their way, leaving only one Paper Tiger and a group of Human Head Lanterns to pursue you.

During the battle, your Lightning Thunder Fist broke through to the Third Tier.

You fought with your life on the line, and your "Mad Scientist" also advanced to the Third Tier.

At the same time, the "White Tiger," which had been sleeping soundly in your backpack, woke up.

Its chubby face was still bleary with sleep, and it looked utterly confused.

But the moment it saw the lanterns surrounding you, its fur stood on end and it transformed into a Shadow Figure.

In the end, you and your companions tore all the Human Head Lanterns to pieces.

Day Seventeen. You returned to the Shelter Camp and prepared to recuperate first. Five Ghost Infants and one Black Cat remained by your side. Every Awakened who had gone out with you this time had died.

...

Day Twenty-Seven. After several days of recuperation, your injuries had basically healed, and your Invincible Body had reached the Fourth Order.

Day Twenty-Eight. Through your efforts, the number of Awakened in the Shelter Camp continued to grow. Special weapons were being produced in large quantities.

You discovered that the true way for humanity to fight Vicious Ghosts was not to have Awakened clash with them head-on. The number of Awakened was always far smaller than the number of Vicious Ghosts.

A war of attrition was too disadvantageous!

At least in the early stages, the way to fight Vicious Ghosts should be to combine the Awakened's abilities with modern weapons and create special weapons.

Day Twenty-Nine. The Shelter Camp was hit by a Ghost Tide. Vicious Ghosts surged over like a landslide, wanting to destroy humanity's stronghold.

You discovered that some of the Vicious Ghosts moved in an orderly manner, leading you to suspect that someone was secretly controlling them.

At this time, the Shelter Camp had only a hundred Awakened, but with your help, it already possessed a massive stockpile of special weapons.

Curse Tanks, Talisman Cannons, Ghostfire Gatlings...

With ample firepower, you ultimately achieved victory and successfully repelled the Ghost Tide.

You ordered the remaining Ghost Infants to devour large numbers of fragmented Vicious Ghosts. They underwent a transformation and grew to Peak Second Order.

Day Thirty. The Shelter Camp was hit by another Ghost Tide.

This Ghost Tide was not large, but its overall quality was clearly higher. Some of the Vicious Ghosts even began cooperating with one another.

Faced with this situation, you made a prompt decision and charged out before they had finished assembling!

You descended like the Thunder God, like Lü Bu reborn. With every wave of your hand, swathes of Vicious Ghosts fell at your feet.

The Black Cat "White Tiger" was also unusually excited, charging recklessly and taking down one Vicious Ghost with every swipe of its paw.

It moved incredibly fast, leaving the Vicious Ghosts completely helpless.

The Shelter Camp also launched a counterattack, ultimately repelling the Ghost Tide once again.

...

Day Thirty-Four. After several days of vigilance, you discovered that the Ghost Tide had not returned.

Everyone praised you.

They revered you deeply.

Your name reached the distant Imperial Capital and then spread across the world.

Your heroic achievements and scientific accomplishments began to be celebrated worldwide. You became the dawn of the future, a hero of humanity.
