Han Sen had brought the fifty sacred class fruits he had received from Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan had given them to him before he entered the sanctuary, and he couldn't eat all of them at once. So, he decided to take them with him.
If he ate one, he wouldn't feel hungry or thirsty for a few days. The nutrition it provided could last a person ten days. If he were to be trapped, he'd be able to survive for a while with the help of the fruit.
After he finished the fruit, he stopped eating. He looked at the Wall of Destiny and frowned. He had seen a text on the side of the weird building, and it mentioned something about luck.
According to what was written, it was not difficult to know whether a person had luck or not.
"Could it be that the destiny mentioned in that inscription is the way to pass through this Wall of Destiny?
If that is the case... "Han Sen thought to himself. His face kept changing.
After resting for a while, Wang Zhao and the others proposed to follow the map again. This time, he would lead the way.
Mister Li didn't object, and he handed the map to Wang Zhao. Wang Zhao followed the path they had come from, but after a while, they found themselves back in front of the wall.
They tried a few more times, but no matter which way they went, they always ended up in front of the wall.
Wang Zhao and the others didn't look too good. It was obvious that they were trapped here. Unless they could open the Wall of Fate or fly out, they wouldn't be able to leave this place.
None of them had the courage to fly out from the clouds above, but to open the Wall of Fate, none of them dared to be sure that they didn't have good luck.
Those who came here to adventure were basically forced to come. They could all be said to be unlucky. No one dared to say that they were lucky, so naturally, they didn't dare to approach the Wall of Destiny to test their luck.
Yu Zhiyou's death had shocked them, and they didn't dare try anything.
"It's just a wall. I think we should just smash it open. If you don't dare, then I'll do it. The worst case scenario is death," Xu Yanmeng gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't be reckless."
Mister Li shook his head and stopped Xu Fangmeng. He looked at Han Sen and said, "Little Han Sen, do you remember the text we saw on the side of the building?"
"Yes, I do." Han Sen nodded.
Everyone looked at Mister Li and Han Sen, unsure why Mister Li was talking about this now.
Mister Li cleared his throat and said, "The text talks about fate and reincarnation, and it also talks about luck. It won't be difficult to determine which of us has the luck."
"Mister Li, what you're saying is that we should find the one with the best luck to open the Wall of Destiny." Wang Zhao understood what Mister Li was getting at.
Mister Li nodded and said, "We can't get out of here, but that's the only way out."
Zhong Sanxiao asked directly, "Then how do we know which one of us has the best luck?"
"There's a saying in the text, 'Luck is what others don't have.' It means that the one with the luck will have the luck to get what others don't have.
It's like buying a lottery ticket, where others can't get it, and only one person can get it. "Mister Li explained.
"So we just have to draw a lot to see which of us has the best luck?" Zhong Sanxiao asked.
"In theory, yes." Mister Li nodded.
"Then let's draw lots. Since we're trapped here, we'll die sooner or later anyway, so we might as well try our luck. Whoever draws the lot gets to open the wall," Xu Yanmeng said impatiently.
"If there's no other way, then let's do it."
Wang Zhao's gaze swept across everyone's faces. Seeing that no one said anything, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and tore eight pieces of paper. Then, he wrote the word 'luck' on one of the pieces of paper and said to everyone, "Whoever draws the word 'luck' will be the one to open that wall. I drew the lot, so to avoid suspicion, I drew the last one."
Wang Zhao crumpled the eight pages into a ball and put it in his pocket. He shook it for a while before throwing it on the ground and asking, "Who's going first?"
Although it was said that the first person to draw would have the lowest chance of getting it, there was still a chance after all, so everyone was a little hesitant.
"If no one wants to draw, then I'll go first." Old Qiu said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper.
There was no 'luck' word on it. Everyone's nerves tensed up a little. The one in eight chance became one in seven.
"I'll go second."
Xiao Liuyu clenched his teeth and walked over. He reached inside and pulled out a ball of paper. When he opened it, his face changed.
The paper he pulled out had the word 'luck' written on it.
"Liuyu …" Wang Zhao's face looked terrible. Xiao Liuyu was his best friend in Sacred, and he hadn't expected him to draw it.
"This is fate. If fate wants me to go, it'll give me a way out." Xiao Liuyu gave a wry smile, as if he was begging and trying to comfort himself.
"Be careful." Wang Zhao's lips moved, but that was all he said.
Xiao Liuyu had drawn the life-or-death stick, so there was no way he could refuse. There were so many people watching, and there was no way he could deny it.
If Xiao Liuyu went back on his word now, let alone the people from Outer Heaven, even Zhong Sanxiao and the others from Deity's Domain wouldn't agree.
If Xiao Liuyu didn't go, someone else would have to.
Xiao Liuyu nodded. His eyebrows flashed, and a jade sword appeared in his hand. It was his geno core, but the mark was still hidden, so no one knew what level it was.
Xiao Liuyu gripped the Jasper Sword as a protective sword light surged from his body like a cogwheel. With a serious expression, he walked step by step towards the Gate of Destiny.
"Don't go. You're going to die," Han Sen suddenly said.
Xiao Liuyu stopped and looked at Han Sen. Wang Zhao looked at Han Sen, too.
"If he doesn't go, are you going?" Xu Yanmeng said coldly.
Han Sen coldly said, "He has drawn a lot, so he is risking his life. This is not the lucky one. I think he is the one with the worst luck. If he is not going, then he is going to die."
Xiao Liuyu broke out in a cold sweat, and his legs couldn't move.
Everyone knew this, but they still had hope. If he was the chosen one, there was a chance he could open the Gate of Fate.
They had no other way out, so they had to take the risk.
"If you say that, then there's no other way. No matter who draws the lot, they're just unlucky," Xu Yanmeng said.
Everyone was thinking the same thing. If they could overturn Xiao Liuyu's decision, then there would be no point in drawing lots. No matter how they drew lots, they could still use this theory.
