#1861 - Win every bet?
“In this world, all living beings are gamblers at heart. Some gamble until their eyes turn red, losing everything in the end, while others gamble with wisdom, winning it all.”
In the Wandering Zone, Ji Dongfeng and the Lord of the Law of Gambling stood on a high platform, surrounded by other Law Lords with ferocious expressions.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Why did you willingly come to this place? Do you want to self-destruct?”
The Lord of the Law of Gambling chuckled and said, “That's right. I'm tired of everything I see. When I was born, I wanted to manipulate all living beings in the palm of my hand. I enjoyed seeing those beings filled with ecstasy when they won, and I also enjoyed seeing them wailing and crying when they lost. All were beautiful scenes, all were interesting events.”
“But as time went on… I discovered that among all living beings, few have self-control. Even fewer can maintain rationality in the face of gambling. Many beings, because of gambling, lost their minds and became bloodthirsty maniacs, committing all kinds of evil deeds.”
“This is not what I want to see. According to my deduction, if my power becomes stronger and stronger, then… the speed at which all living beings head towards destruction will also accelerate. So, I came here.”
“After all, if I really make all living beings addicted to gambling, the Heavenly Dao would probably intervene.”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng took a deep look at the Lord of the Law of Gambling and said, “There is actually a Law Lord in this world who wants to self-destruct? That's rare… I always feel that there is something wrong with you, and it's a big problem.”
“All living beings! No matter what they do! The ultimate goal! Cannot escape the word 'pleasure'! Gambling is even more so! Even some Law Lords! Cannot escape!”
“And I, after seeing through all of this, came to a conclusion: if all living beings want to take another step forward! They cannot be dominated by that feeling of pleasure! Since that's the case, then I will first suppress my own power! Even if I cannot perish in a short time, I can still allow gambling to be somewhat suppressed in this world!”
“You have encountered the Mystic Realm Turtle before, right?”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, “That's right. The Mystic Realm Turtle promised to come and find me, but there has been no movement.”
“It can't come. There are some races in this world that are born for gambling. In order to better suppress my power, I have sealed some races.” The Lord of the Law of Gambling said.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng curled his lips and said with a resentful expression, “Damn it, then return the pile of good things it owes me.”
Hearing this, the Lord of the Law of Gambling chuckled and said, “You are also a greedy person, but I quite like you. How about this, I'll give you a chance, but there's a condition. You have to help me awaken those living beings who are drunk on gambling, and let me reach my end as soon as possible.”
“What opportunity?” Ji Dongfeng asked.
“I'll give you a treasure that guarantees you'll win every gamble.” The Lord of the Law of Gambling smiled.
“How can there be such a thing as winning every gamble in this world?” Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice.
“Just tell me if you want it or not.”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng chuckled and said, “I don't want it.”
“Why don't you want it?” The Lord of the Law of Gambling asked.
“You are the Lord of the Law of Gambling, you should know that as long as it's gambling, it's impossible to win every time. If you always win, then it's not gambling.” Ji Dongfeng said.
“Logically speaking, you should be the one who looks down on these four words the most, but now you insist on giving me this kind of treasure, then there is only one possibility: you are planning to trick me.”
Hearing this, the Lord of the Law of Gambling was stunned at first, then laughed loudly at the sky.
“Hahahaha, interesting, really interesting. I didn't expect that you could see through a truth that 99.9% of the living beings in this world can't see through. That's right, even I can't win every gamble. That's the essence of the Law of Gambling!” The Lord of the Law of Gambling laughed.
“Just now, when I said that you would win every gamble, it was just another gamble I made with myself, a gamble that you would want this treasure, and a gamble that you would reject this thing. Now it seems that the result has already come out.”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ji Dongfeng could react, the Lord of the Law of Gambling gently waved his hand, and a red stream of light fell from the sky and entered Ji Dongfeng's body!
“Ding, the comprehension of the Law of Gambling is increasing, 1%… 2%… 3%…”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng was stunned at first, then frowned slightly and said, “What does this mean?”
“I just gambled that you would refuse, and the bet was the complete comprehension of the Law of Gambling.” The Lord of the Law of Gambling said.
“Ji Dongfeng, you must remember that gambling is also divided into good and bad. Everything depends on what you gamble on, and why you gamble. Gambling your life for the peace of the world is also gambling. Gambling your conscience for some personal gain is also gambling.”
“I hate the lowly and rotten gambling of all living beings, but I also like to see the grand visions of a few living beings gambling. I ask you, are you willing to become my supervisor and eliminate the rotten gambling in the world on my behalf!”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng raised his eyebrows and said, “I seem to only be able to become a supervisor of one law…”
“Your name has already been engraved on the Heavenly Law Ranking, and you are not subject to this restriction.” The Lord of the Law of Gambling said.
“Then no problem, but… how do you know about the Heavenly Law Ranking in this Wandering Zone?” Ji Dongfeng asked.
“Heh, as long as they are living beings who like to gamble in their hearts, I can see through everything about them. Among those Law Lords, there are also those who like to gamble.” The Lord of the Law of Gambling said.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng smiled and said, “Then how about this, I'll make a bet with you. I bet you don't dare to slap me to death. If I win, you slap me to death.”
Hearing this, the Lord of the Law of Gambling was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and said, “You… I'm a little regretful now… You seem to have found a surefire way to win…”
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of the Law of Gambling slowly stood up, and a gust of wind appeared, pushing away all the surrounding Law Lords.
“Ji Dongfeng, remember what I said, remember what you are gambling for, remember that in this world, there is no such thing as winning every time. If this world is rotten in the end, then you should gamble on this world and win a new world!”
In the next moment, the Lord of the Law of Gambling disappeared with the wind, and Ji Dongfeng's comprehension of the law also increased to 100%!
