#1860 - Make a bet

"It seems that the flame represents the number of beings who have comprehended this law. The more beings who comprehend it, the stronger the flame," Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice.

Just as Ji Dongfeng was observing these Law Rulers, these Law Rulers also saw Ji Dongfeng.

The moment they saw Ji Dongfeng, all the Law Rulers were stunned in place.

Two or three breaths later, roars and howls resounded through the heavens and earth, even overwhelming the sound of the wind and snow.

"How is it possible! How could a living being enter here!"

"The beings who can enter here are all beings with extremely strong talent and strength! Only such beings will be recognized by the Hall of Laws!"

"Boy! Come to me quickly! Come and comprehend my law! I can tell! Your talent is extremely terrifying! Even if you are the only one who comprehends my law! I can still survive!"

"No! Comprehend mine first! Less than ten beings have comprehended my law… I'm about to not be able to hold on any longer! Hurry!"

"Comprehend mine! My law is very powerful!"

Accompanying the roars, the Law Rulers who could still move rushed towards Ji Dongfeng, holding the flames in their hands. However, due to the influence of the wind and snow, their movement speed was extremely slow. Only the Law Rulers with stronger flames moved slightly faster.

"Once they were high above, once they talked about the heavens and earth, once they overlooked the mortal world, once they possessed power. In the blink of an eye, for this world, it really is just a blink of an eye, and everything is gone," said the Time Law Shadow.

"Could it be that one day, the Grand Righteousness Law Ruler will also fall into such a situation?" said the Space Law Shadow.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, unless the heavens and earth collapse, the order is completely broken, or all living beings disappear," said the Thunder Control Law Shadow.

"Heh, who can say for sure? When all the beings in the world lose their faith, no Law Ruler is absolutely safe," said the Fusion Law Shadow.

Listening to the discussions of the Law Shadows, Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly and took the initiative to walk towards the Law Rulers not far away. At this moment, these Law Rulers held the flames in one hand and stretched the other hand towards Ji Dongfeng, their expressions becoming somewhat ferocious due to being too excited.

With the speed of these Law Rulers, Ji Dongfeng could easily dodge. He shifted his feet, moving slowly forward amidst the backdrop of countless withered hands, like a sharp knife, piercing through a piece of withered, rotten paper. The Law Rulers were like scraps of paper, surrounding Ji Dongfeng on both sides, wanting to get closer, but in the end, they could only watch Ji Dongfeng walk further and further away.

For a time, Ji Dongfeng felt that there was no wind or roar in the world, only the pleading voices of the Law Rulers.

"Please… take a look at my law…"

Listening to these voices, Ji Dongfeng took a deep breath, and his speed became faster and faster. He vaguely understood why Kui Niu highly recommended him to enter the Wandering Zone.

"Comprehending the law is secondary, the most important thing… is probably to let me see the scene before me, to see the appearance of these Law Rulers, to see this almost desperate world of snow," Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, his pupils trembling slightly, and the whispers of the Law Rulers in his ears became clearer and clearer.

In a trance, Ji Dongfeng seemed to have walked into another world, the Law Rulers around him disappeared one after another, and the whispers in his ears slowly dissipated.

"Law Rulers, their power is countless times higher than that of all living beings, but in the end, they will also perish because living beings lose their faith. Then what about me, what will I perish because of…" Ji Dongfeng said in a low voice, his pace getting faster and faster, but the surrounding world became more and more chaotic.

"This kid… seems to have had some kind of epiphany," Ying Long said.

"An epiphany in a place like this?" Zhao Guanlan said.

"Wake up."

In the blink of an eye, a stick of incense's time passed, and a low voice suddenly rang out. Ji Dongfeng shuddered, suddenly came back to his senses, and looked around, only to find that he was standing on a high platform built of ice and snow.

Around the high platform were densely packed Law Rulers, like a vast ocean, surrounding the high platform like an isolated island!

"This is…" Ji Dongfeng's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look, only to find that there was another high platform nearby. On the high platform sat a Law Ruler, different from the other Law Rulers. This Law Ruler sat cross-legged on the high platform, the flame in his hand like a pillar of light soaring into the sky, extremely strong!

What shocked Ji Dongfeng even more was that there were hundreds of such flame pillars around this Law Ruler.

"What is this… It seems that the number of beings who have comprehended this law is simply countless. What law is this, and why did it come here?" Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice.

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly and observed carefully, only to find that this Law Ruler was wearing a black mask, with a question mark engraved on the mask, which looked extremely strange.

"Senior, were you the one who woke me up just now?" Ji Dongfeng asked. He had just felt an extremely strong sense of loss. If someone hadn't woken him up in time, he didn't know how long he would have been lost.

The Law Ruler on the high platform heard this, tilted his head, and said: "I was just betting with myself just now. If I won the bet, I would remain silent. If I lost the bet, I would wake you up."

Ji Dongfeng heard this and said in a deep voice: "What was the bet about?"

"Betting on whether you can change the Dao of Heaven. One of me bet that you can, and the other bet that you can't," the Law Ruler said.

"Two of you?" Ji Dongfeng asked.

"Of course, there are two selves in every living being. These two selves are always betting against each other, betting on the future, betting on fate, betting on everything," the Law Ruler said.

"Any decision made by the living beings in the world is just one self in the body winning a bet against the other self."

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly when he heard this and said: "May I ask what Law Ruler you are?"

The Law Ruler heard this, chuckled, and said: "Gambling, the Law of Gambling."

"There is such a law?! Then how did you come here?" Ji Dongfeng said in confusion.

"I came in voluntarily. This place can suppress the power of the Law Rulers, but it's a pity… even if it's suppressed, my power is still getting stronger and stronger," said the Law of Gambling.
