Game of fate?
Testing luck?
Almost all the contestants were dumbfounded!
The third stage of the test was indeed too mysterious!
Fate was intangible, ever-changing and difficult to grasp.

Moreover, the past could be predicted, but who could predict and grasp the future?
Even immortals couldn't predict their own fate, right?
Now the contestants were not sure.
If it was fighting in the ring, breaking through the secret realm, walking through the maze, or even guessing riddles, they could all be seen and touched. At least they could control it.
But fate was too mysterious.
At this time, Leng Ruyu's gentle and elegant voice sounded again, "Contestants, you are now in the middle of the rainbow bridge. Go forward a hundred steps and you will reach the Sky City; go back a hundred steps and you will return to the mobile city.
One going forward and one retreating, the situation is completely different.
Now, you are all bound by the power of fate. If you want to move, you need to throw the 'Die of Fate'. "
As soon as she finished speaking, dense divine light and runes rushed out of Leng Ruyu's head, intertwining in the air and forming a huge die!
It was a six-sided die.
It was engraved with … 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
These six numbers.
"The game of fate is very simple. Use your mental strength and soul power to hit the 'Die of Fate' at will. According to the points you get, you will decide your steps.
For example, if you get one point, you will move forward one step. If you get two points, you will move forward two steps. If you get six points, you will move forward six steps.
There is no technique to hit the 'Die of Fate'. In fact, the points you get are simulated according to your luck.
In the end, the contestants who can move forward a hundred steps and reach the Sky City will be considered to have passed the third test and will be qualified to enter the fourth test. They will be able to compete for the position of Devil Hero. "
As soon as she said this, the contestants gradually understood some of the rules of the game.
Every contestant was now in the middle of the rainbow bridge. If they walked forward a hundred steps and stepped into the Sky City, they would be considered to have passed the test.
But every step had to be based on the points of the 'Die of Fate'.
They couldn't walk randomly, and they couldn't walk at all.
This test indeed had nothing to do with one's combat power, realm, willpower, etc. It was completely a test of luck and character.
Relatively speaking, this kind of illusory test might be very unfair to participants with tyrannical combat strength.
Now, the geniuses of the Devil Hero Region all looked indignant.
Besides the Eldest Senior Brother who'd been comprehending the profundities with his eyes closed, all the other geniuses had gloomy expressions.
They were confident that their battle prowess was the most outstanding among this batch of participants. If they fought with their swords and spears, they would be able to firmly control the probability and initiative of passing the stage.
However, the Game of Fate made it so that they could only resign themselves to fate. They were unable to display their strength.
No matter how strong they were, if they were unlucky, they would still be eliminated.
As for the participants who were originally weak, they were all secretly delighted.
"Participants, you can treat the 100 steps before you as a microcosm of your destiny.
There would be all kinds of fortuitous encounters, all kinds of disasters, and all kinds of tribulations.
Some participants might have a difficult fate, while others might have a smooth journey. "Leng Ruyu smiled.
Immediately …
"Participants, please take a look …"
At this moment, a white card appeared in Leng Ruyu's slender hand. It seemed to be carved out of some gemstone and was about the size of a palm. Talismans and seal characters flowed on the card, emitting a mysterious and unfathomable aura.
"The white card is a reward card.
As you walk, you will be rewarded with a white card. The reward card will reward you with advancing 1 to 20 steps. "
"Pu ~ ~ ~" After saying that, Leng Ruyu flicked the white card, causing it to float in the air.
Then, she took out a black card … "The black card is a punishment card. Once you obtain it, you must retreat 1 to 20 steps."
"The purple card is a treasure card. After obtaining the purple card, you can obtain all kinds of treasures according to the description on the card.
Including True Qi Divine Technique secret manuals, treasured weapons, treasured medicines, and so on. "
"The yellow card is a calamity card. Once you obtain it, you will encounter terrifying tribulations, such as' Black Nightmare Wind Tribulation ',' Heart Demon Tribulation ',' Boulder Tribulation ',' Li Fire Tribulation '.
After obtaining the calamity card, you must personally endure all kinds of tribulations. If you can resolve them, then it's fine, and you can continue this game of fate. If you can't resolve them, then you might die from the tribulations and tribulations. "
"The orange card is a meeting on a narrow path card. To obtain this card, you must fight against the participant specified on the card.
The winner will continue, and the loser will be eliminated.
Moreover, the winner can devour the loser's luck. "
"The dead gray card is a bad luck card. To obtain this card, you will immediately die and turn into ashes. This is the most terrifying card.
It is even more terrifying than the calamity card. "
"The blue card is a banishment card. Once you obtain it, you will be banished from the examination ground. It is equivalent to instant elimination."
"The gold card is a supreme ruler card. You can obtain a chance to control another person's fate. In other words, the participant who obtains this card can kill any other participant at will!"
"The red card is a lucky card. To obtain this card, you can eliminate negative effects that are detrimental to you once.
For example, you can eliminate tribulations, bad luck, banishment, and the killing of other participants. "
…
"Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft! "
As Leng Ruyu spoke, she flicked her fingers, and the cards with different colors and effects were all sent floating in the air.
"Everyone, please familiarize yourself with the functions of these cards." Leng Ruyu smiled faintly.
Thousands of participants looked at the various cards floating in the air.
White … reward card;
Black … punishment card;
Purple … treasure card;
Yellow … calamity card;
Orange … meeting on a narrow path card;
Dead gray … bad luck card;
Blue … banishment card;
Gold … supreme ruler card;
Red … lucky card;
…
There were a total of nine types of cards.
…
In the next moment, Leng Ruyu started chanting, and her expression became extremely solemn and solemn. In an instant, numerous talisman markings that twisted like dragons and snakes bloomed out from her body, and dense rays of light radiated out. White light, black light, violet light, yellow light, orange light, deathly grey light, blue light, gold light, red light …
"Game of fate!" Leng Ruyu chanted. Her tone was obscure and deep, like the voice of fate!
"Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft! "
Countless runes and all kinds of light rays intertwined and fused, forming many cards. They were densely packed and endless.
"Swoosh ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
"Swoosh ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
"Swoosh ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
… …
The cards swarmed out and entered every rainbow bridge. They were so deeply integrated into it that the participants could not distinguish them.
However, there was no doubt that there were all kinds of cards hidden in every rainbow bridge. Maybe it was a reward card, a bad luck card, or a banishment card …
"Buzz ~ ~ Buzz ~ ~ Buzz ~ ~ Buzz ~ ~ Buzz ~ ~"
Every rainbow bridge flickered with misty and beautiful light. Soon, the rainbow bridges were numbered.
From left to right, rainbow bridge 1 to rainbow bridge 3340.
Xiao Han looked at his position. He was standing on rainbow bridge 1511.
"Then … the game of fate officially begins!
Rainbow bridge 1 participant, the first to hit the Die of Fate!
You will receive points! "Leng Ruyu's voice was tinged with excitement.
"Let me repeat for the last time. This game of fate was simulated by Ruyu using the Great Fate Divine Technique.
It cannot accurately deduce everyone's future luck. It is only a rough estimate.
Please do not feel too much pressure in this game. I believe that everyone has the ability to defy the heavens and seize fate!
Just treat this as a small game for the third stage of the exam! "
… …
The game of fate officially began!
The participant standing on the first rainbow bridge from the left was a youth from the Southern Region. Xiao Han did not know this person, but they had met a few times.
This youth from the Southern Region was very nervous. He panted heavily and only closed his eyes after a dozen breaths.
A wave of mental energy mixed with soul aura directly hit the Die of Fate.
"Hua ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The Die of Fate floating in mid-air completely absorbed the mental energy and soul aura of the youth from the Southern Region and began to spin rapidly.
After a few breaths, the rotation stopped. One side of the Die of Fate shot out a ray of light, projecting the number on this side onto the first rainbow bridge.
‘6’
The youth from the Southern Region actually hit a "6".
He could advance six steps.
A deep and cryptic voice immediately resounded through the heavens and earth …
"Please advance six steps."
"Hu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" The youth from the Southern Region felt his body relax. The condensed space opened up again, causing the shackles and restraints on him to disappear. He regained his ability to move.
With a heart clenched, the youth from the Southern Region advanced six steps with the most standard steps.
During these six steps, he did not receive any cards. After six steps, the space solidified again, causing him to be unable to move an inch.
"Hu … I'm quite lucky. Although I didn't receive any reward cards, I didn't receive any frightening or unlucky cards either. I'm steady and steady, advancing step by step. I'm still 94 steps away from passing the stage!" The youth from the Southern Region let out a long sigh of relief. His tightly knitted brows relaxed.
The game progressed extremely quickly. After the first contestant finished, the second contestant followed closely behind and used his mental energy and soul aura to hit the Die of Fate. The corresponding number would appear and determine how many steps to advance.
"Hmm … this game of fate looks very simple.
But it does contain all sorts of dangers.
In fact, the third stage is definitely much more difficult than the second stage.
After all, in the second stage, the initiative was completely in my hands and I could advance or retreat at will. But in the third stage, it's very passive. "Xiao Han thought.
Just like that, the contestants used their mental energy to hit the Die of Fate one by one and advanced according to the number on the die.
Up until contestant 239, no cards appeared. The game continued uneventfully.
The contestants who had yet to hit the Die of Fate watched the game for a while and simply closed their eyes to rest.
They waited quietly.
It wasn't until contestant 304 that the scene became somewhat magnificent.
This was a genius girl from the Yaoxia Region. Her mental energy hit the Die of Fate and a number 2 appeared. This was not a very good number and could only allow her to advance two steps.
In the end, when she took her second step with a face full of disappointment, the Rainbow Bridge under her feet suddenly fluctuated and a white light shot up into the sky!
A white card floated above her head!
"White card?
She stepped on the reward card! "The contestants from all directions became alert.
The heavy and obscure voice that contained the aura of history and fate spoke unhurriedly.
"Congratulations, contestant. You've received a reward card. This reward card will reward you with 20 steps forward.
Please advance 20 steps forward. "
"Ah?!
20 steps! "
The disappointed face of the girl from the Yaoxia Region suddenly revealed surprise and joy. She stepped forward step by step and advanced a total of 20 steps.
In other words, she had advanced a total of 22 steps and was 78 steps away from passing the stage!
"It seems that my life's luck is extremely prosperous!" The girl clenched her fists tightly and began to look confidently at the other side of the Rainbow Bridge!
Behind the girl from the Yaoxia Region was a youth from the East Region. His mental energy hit 5 points. After taking 5 steps forward, a purple light rushed out from his feet.
The purple card evaporated.
"Congratulations, contestant. You've received a treasure card. This treasure is a 'Yin-Yang Longevity Pill'. After consuming it, it can increase your lifespan by three sixty-year cycles."
Just as he finished speaking, a scarlet pill slowly descended from the purple light.
The youth from the East Region reached out and grabbed the pill in his hand. He said in ecstasy.
"Hahahaha!
Treasure card!
I told you that I, Yelu Chu, am blessed with good luck!
It seems that passing the third stage is predestined!
Hahahaha!
Interesting!
This game is interesting! "
…
"Boss Xiao, this game is getting interesting!" Fatty Zhu's eyes shone with a mischievous light.
"If fatty can also step on the purple light and obtain a treasure card, that would be great!"
"Heh …" Xiao Han laughed involuntarily.
"It's best if I don't get any cards at all. After a few rounds, I can smoothly advance 100 steps and pass the stage.
This is the ideal ending.
Calamity cards, banishment cards, unlucky cards, each one is more unlucky than the other. "
…
Not long after, it was a youth's turn to hit the Die of Fate. His luck was actually not bad. He hit 6 points. After taking 6 steps forward, a deathly gray light appeared under his feet. A deathly gray card emitted a deathly stillness.
"Unfortunately, contestant, you've drawn an unlucky card.
Your fate is very rough and unfortunate. It shall be erased from here … "
"Ah?
What?
Unlucky card?
No!!!
I can't be so unlucky!!! "
The youth from the Great Wilderness let out a scream of horror and despair.
The next moment …
"Pfft!"
The deathly gray unlucky card shot out a beam of light and swept across. In a breath's time, the body of the youth from the Great Wilderness was crushed into pieces. His soul was annihilated and he died without a complete corpse!
…
The entire audience was in awe!
"This … This is too terrifying … That youth from the Great Wilderness's flesh shell was incomparably strong and his entire body was flowing with crystal light, but in just a moment, he turned into dust … It's simply unstoppable …" Xiao Han was also anxious in his heart. "Damn it, if I step on some unlucky card later, wouldn't I die as well?"
After the youth from the Great Wilderness was erased, a few other contestants stepped on the banishment card and punishment card. There was even a wave where five people stepped on the unlucky card and were erased one after another.
All of a sudden, the game was enveloped in a layer of gloom and desolation.
