Please be my partner.

If you win the game of fate, you can leave with the gift, but if you lose the game of fate, you will be kicked out of the ruins and need to pay an equal price.

Whether you are greedy or not is also a test given by fate.

Chapter 542 [Coin of Destiny]

Faced with the choice given by the black-robed figure, Mellen did not hesitate and went straight to the next level.

A dark forest, a foggy path, a small space, and a figure in a black robe.

Everything is just like the previous one, except that the space on the second floor is a little bigger, and on the round table there is no longer a coin, but three cups of transparent liquid.

The rule for the second level is to choose one of the three cups of liquid to drink.

It is worth noting that two of the three cups of liquid are highly toxic. After drinking them, not only will the game fail immediately, but you will also need to find a way to withstand the poison. Only by drinking the normal cup can you pass the game.

In other words, not only has the difficulty of the game of destiny increased, but failure also requires paying an additional price.

The black-robed figure signaled to Mellen that he could make a choice.

After taking a quick look, Mellen picked up the cup in the middle and drank it all.

There was no poisoning, but rather a refreshing and sweet taste. Melen felt all the pores on his body dilated, and he felt refreshed as if he had just taken a sauna.

The black-robed figure nodded slightly and said, "Reward, or move forward?"

Melen glanced at him and then set out on the road to the third floor.

The same journey was repeated again, and a black-robed figure appeared in the new space. The difference was that four illusory portals appeared in front, namely red, yellow, blue and green.

The black-robed figure said, "Choose one of the four portals. Only one of them will lead to the fourth floor. The other three will throw you into different voids."

Mellen casually pointed to the red on the far left.

In an instant, the other three portals disappeared, and the red portal opened, revealing a misty path.

The black-robed figure looked at Mellen. Although he had no face, Mellen could sense the deep gaze in his eyes. "Starting from the fourth level, the difficulty will continue to increase, and the 'cost' will also increase exponentially!"

"So, tell me your choice...reward? Or keep going?"

This time, Melen did not move forward directly, but a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

At this time, the black-robed figure was holding a ball of changing light in his hand. If Melen chose to reward, the light would turn into a real treasure.

The young man who gave Melen the information stopped at the third floor and did not dare to go any deeper.

The treasure he obtained was only at the peak of Legendary level, close to Saint level. According to this speculation, the treasures given from the fourth level onwards should be above Saint level.

But at the same time, as the difficulty continues to increase, it will become increasingly difficult to win.

The first level is to choose one from two, the second level is to choose one from three, the third level is to choose one from four, and so on. When it comes to the eighth level, which is to choose one from nine, the probability of passing all of them is only one in a million. If it is the ninth level, which is to choose one from ten, then it is only one in ten million!

However, Melen is not thinking about these things now. He feels that his luck is abnormal, very abnormal!

To be honest, Mellen's luck is not bad on weekdays, but it is just pretty good. The probability of making random choices like today and still succeeding continuously can no longer be explained by good luck.

Mellen thought about his own specialness.

Retracting his thoughts, Melen chose to move on.

On the fourth layer, there are five balls of shining energy, only one of which is pure. After absorption, it can improve strength slightly. The other four are troublesome curses.

Melen still chose the group on the far right without hesitation.

A flash of light passed by, and Melen felt that his strength had improved slightly.

On the fifth floor, there are six giant trees, which can be awakened by watering them with the fountain of life. Only one of them will give the correct guidance, while the other five will give lies and deception.

The sixth level has seven fruits. The correct one can improve your aptitude, while the wrong one will turn the user into a stone statue.

At this point, Mellen also had to think about whether to continue. He had no hesitation before because he had enough confidence. Winning was certainly gratifying, but even if he lost, he could afford to pay an equal price.

As for those poisons, curses and the like, since they are only at the saint level, Melen doesn't care at all.

And now, if nothing unexpected happens, the difficulty of the seventh level will increase again, and it is very likely to involve demigods and above. If you lose once, both the price you pay and the damage you suffer will be too great.

For some things, the cost outweighs the gain.

However, after thinking for a moment, Mellen still chose to move on, because at this moment his heart was filled with a strange confidence that even he himself could not explain.

Melen felt that he would not lose!

This is not a gamble, it is a necessity!!

He chose to trust his instincts.

On the seventh floor, there are eight terrifying demigod monsters. Choosing the right monster will improve your control over the rules. If you choose the wrong one, all the monsters will attack you.

On the eighth level, nine notes dance in the air, releasing music with different timbres but equally beautiful. The right music can strengthen the soul and make it more stable, but choosing the wrong music will cut your soul.

As expected, Mellen's random choice was the correct answer, and then he came to the ninth floor.

This time, the black-robed figure gave a different opening line: "It's hard to imagine that someone could actually get this far."

Melen's heart moved. He had tried this before in the Destiny Game. All the black-robed figures seemed to be programmed and could not communicate. But the one in front of him seemed a little different?

He asked tentatively: "What does it mean to have come this far?"

The black-robed figure said, "It means that you are the one chosen by fate, or the one abandoned by fate."

At this moment, Mellen thought of his father Warwick, and the exchange of fate that the latter had made with him in order to fight against fate!

The black-robed figure said, "It seems that you understand the reason."

Melen looked at the black-robed figure in silence.

The latter didn't seem to have any intention of delving deeper and continued, "Our clan has always studied fate, but unfortunately, we have failed. No one can understand it, recognize it, or control it. The closer we get to it, the more likely we are to be toyed with by it."

"If you win this final game of fate, you will obtain the last remnant of our clan. So, are you sure you want to continue playing the next game?"

It had come to this point, so Mellen naturally had no reason to back down and replied directly: "Let's get started."

The black-robed figure seemed to chuckle, and then he raised his hand, and rays of light appeared and surrounded Mellen.

Looking closely, these lights turned out to be palm-sized cards, ten in total.

The ten cards kept rotating around Mellen, and they were also constantly flipping. It can be seen that both sides of the cards were blurry and abstract. There seemed to be pictures, but they were not clear.

The black-robed figure said, "Draw one from them. That will be your destiny."

Mellen had a blank expression on his face. He was a little displeased with the words "that will be your destiny", which made him feel that everything he did was in vain.

"If fate really controls everything, then no one would need to do anything extra. Wouldn't it be better to just lie at home and wait for fate to decide?"

The black-robed figure looked at Mellen quietly without reacting to his words.

Melen didn't expect the other party to reply. He just reached out and held the card that was turned to the front in his hand.

The other nine cards stopped spinning and slowly disappeared, and the abstract image in Mellen's hand, facing him, slowly disappeared and turned into... a blank?

Melen looked past the cards and towards the black-robed figure.

The black-robed figure smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have chosen your own destiny."

Before Melen could ask anything else, the black-robed figure suddenly began to twist, and finally only a coin was left floating there quietly.

Melen stepped forward and took the coin in his hand. It was the magic gold coin used to guess the heads or tails in the first game of fate.

The moment he touched the coin, Melen also received the message conveyed on it.

The coin is called [Coin of Destiny], which contains the clan's research on destiny and the "destiny" they have collected over countless years.

There are two ways to use the [Coin of Destiny]. One is to toss it directly. The falling [Coin of Destiny] will reveal your good or bad luck in the future.

In reality, this usage is just a display and cannot change your 'destiny'.

The second way to use it is to consume it directly. Although the [Coin of Destiny] stores the "destiny" accumulated by the clan for countless years, this meager power is nothing compared to the true destiny. However, this "destiny" can form a fulcrum to pry the destiny and use it to fight against destiny.

If the [Broken Stone of Destiny] is a sneaky way of causing trouble, then the [Coin of Destiny] is a head-on confrontation.

What's more different is that the former is equivalent to a universal wishing machine that can help with anything, while the latter seems to be only aimed at fate.

Suddenly, Melen thought of his meeting with Warwick in the Blue and Green Realm Demon Cave. The reason why the latter lost his name seemed to be because he kept avoiding fate, and after accumulating to a certain extent, he suffered a "fate shock" (see Chapter 179 for details).

In this case, the [Coin of Destiny] should be the most suitable one for Warwick to use.

However, after Warwick performed some actions in the ancient exile land, he missed the [Coin of Destiny]. This has to be said to be a kind of irony, or is it a trick of fate?

Melen looked at the [Coin of Destiny] in his hand. It was no different from an ordinary magic gold coin, but Melen could vaguely sense a special power hidden in it.

After playing with it for a while, Melen flipped it up, and when it fell, it showed... the front.

This means that Mellen will be in good luck for some time to come.

After getting this answer, Melen felt that his mental outlook had changed a little, but he also knew that this was just a psychological effect, because the [Coin of Destiny] itself did not have the ability to change luck, it could only play a revealing role.

But even so, it is already quite powerful.

There is an old saying in Mellen’s previous life, which goes…When luck comes, heaven and earth will work together, but when luck is gone, even heroes cannot be free.

When luck comes, you can often be successful in everything, even a pig can take off with the wind.

But when luck runs out, even a former hero will end up like a dragon in shallow water, a tiger in the plains, or even be imprisoned.

With the [Coin of Destiny] as a guide, you can do important things when you are lucky, and when you are unlucky, you should restrain yourself as much as possible to avoid making mistakes.

After putting away the [Coin of Destiny], Melen looked at another gain, the Destiny Card.

What surprised Melen was that he did not show the blank card to the black-robed figure, but the latter directly determined that he had completed the game.

There should be two explanations for this. One is that the black-robed figure can know what card Melen drew, so he directly judges that he has passed the game; the other is that there is no need to be so troublesome. As long as Melen completes the game, it proves that he is qualified to obtain the inheritance.

It is worth mentioning that from the beginning to the end, Meren did not know which ethnic group created this relic, as if they had no name!

In the end, we can only use "that tribe" as a reference.

This reminded Mellen of Warwick, the creator of the α-07 Macross.

If the Alpha Civilization (the codename given by the α-07 Macross brain to the omnic race that created it) was also wiped out using similar means, does that mean their former enemies possessed some power related to fate? Or at least some means to manipulate fate?

Melen became more cautious about this potential enemy hiding in the dark.

Melen withdrew his thoughts and returned to the blank destiny card in his hand. After playing with it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. He just felt that its material was very special, but that was all.

If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it for now. Putting away the fate card, Melen looked at the door in front of him and walked in.

When he reappeared, Melen had already left the ruins of the Game of Destiny and went directly to the other side of the forest. He turned around and could still vaguely sense that many powerful people were gathered at the entrance of the ruins.

Mellen had no intention of dealing with other people and went straight to the space corridor.

In the following time, Mellen waited for the arrival of the previously calculated time node at a distance from the space corridor.

From time to time, people can be seen walking out of the space corridor. After the initial vigilance and exploration, most of these people will go directly towards the ruins. A small number of them will come to chat after sensing Mellen, but Mellen is too lazy to pay attention to them and often sends them away with a few words.

Time flies, and soon it is the time point that Mellen wants.

Mellen stood up and walked to the space corridor. When the time came to the moment he needed, he stepped into it.

The space was flowing, and when Melen came back to his senses, he immediately felt the violent and disordered power of rules boiling wildly. Endless energy seemed to have condensed into a liquid ocean and spread to every inch of space. The sky seemed to be missing a piece, and there was a huge hole.

In this kind of environment, anyone below the Legend level will drown immediately, and even a Legend can only hold on for a while. Only those above the Saint level can survive normally, but they will also feel extremely uncomfortable because their control over the rules will become unsustainable under the chaotic and disorderly rules around them.

Only when one reaches the demigod level can one truly ignore the influence of the external environment.

Mellen's mouth curled up. This was exactly the place he was looking for, the Fountain of Rules.

Chapter 543 Baptism and Sharing Algorithm Model

Nasus poked his head out from the fairy kingdom, sensing the opportunity for advancement, and instinctively felt a little excited.

Melen patted Nasus's head and said, "Let's go."

Nasus leaned on Meren's right shoulder and said, "Let's go!"

The little red lotus on the left shoulder also made a cheerful "woof" sound.

Mellen chuckled and quickly walked away with the two dogs. He had already sensed the source of the fluctuation of rules.

As we got closer to the Fountain of Rules, the rich rules and energy condensed into mist, seriously interfering with our perception.

A moment later, just as Melen was about to reach his destination, the sound of fighting came from the front. Melen raised his eyebrows, but did not stop.

As Melen approached, the fight suddenly stopped, and two figures were seen confronting each other, looking at Melen with a vigilant look.

Both of them looked middle-aged. One had blond hair and electric lights swirled around him, while the other had blue hair and water-blue light waves rippling around his body.
