You lost.

"I do have the complete jewelry set on me." Lin Xiao paused, then continued, "How about we change the terms of the bet?"

"Change the terms? How do you want to bet?"

"Betting item by item takes too much time. Let's decide the winner in one go. If you win, I give you all my equipment. If I win, you return all the equipment you won previously, and you must also tell me the method to remove the curse."

The God of Destiny shook her head and refused, "I don't want that."

"Don't take me for a fool. Not just the equipment, but your summoned beast, talent, and so on are all mine. Taking only the equipment now is too much of a loss."

"Besides, you were going to lose anyway. This kind of bet gives me no advantage."

The God of Destiny looked like she wasn't easily fooled.

Lin Xiao only suggested terms that benefited himself; his stakes remained unchanged from before.

"Didn't you say I was guaranteed to lose? So what are you afraid of?" Lin Xiao retorted.

The God of Destiny was momentarily speechless.

"Or perhaps, your Destiny Revelation isn't actually accurate?"

Lin Xiao delivered a fatal blow.

"Who said that? Destiny cannot be changed! If I say you lose everything, you lose everything!" Destiny stood firm.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Who said I was afraid? Let's bet! I'm not scared of you. We'll do it your way."

Lin Xiao immediately showed a brilliant smile.

The God of Destiny: "..."

Only then did the God of Destiny realize that she had agreed in a moment of haste.

She said angrily, "You little brat, how dare you trick me! Quickly add your talent and summoned beast to the stakes."

With the rule change, even if Lin Xiao lost in the end, the opponent would only take his equipment.

"I don't agree."

Lin Xiao turned his head away.

"You..."

The God of Destiny was furious.

Since Lin Xiao disagreed, she couldn't change the rules on her own.

Rules must be agreed upon by both parties.

The God of Destiny angrily leaned back against the chair, "I'm so mad! Hurry up and start."

Ding—

Lin Xiao tossed the coin.

"Heads!"

The God of Destiny closed her eyes, leaning back in the chair, saying with extreme confidence.

However, just as the coin was halfway down, Lin Xiao stretched out his palm and slapped it down hard.

Pa—

The coin landed directly on the table, covered.

The God of Destiny was "woken up" by the sudden vibration and saw Lin Xiao smiling at her.

"Sorry, you lost. It was tails this time."

When he lifted his palm, the Star Flower pattern was facing up.

The God of Destiny widened her eyes, "You, you cheated! How can you touch the coin a second time? This round doesn't count."

"Cheating? I didn't cheat. Isn't this how you toss a coin?"

"Besides, the rules didn't specify that you couldn't cover the coin with your hand, did they? I was just preventing you from cheating since you guessed so early."

Lin Xiao explained with a smile.

"You... you..."

Hearing Lin Xiao bite back at her, she was so angry that her aura became unstable.

Then she watched as Lin Xiao reached out and grabbed back all the equipment he had just won.

"See, if I had cheated, I shouldn't have been able to take back my equipment."

Lin Xiao smiled, not forgetting to strike a blow against the God of Destiny, "It seems, Miss God of Destiny, your Destiny Revelation isn't accurate after all."

Starlight flashed, the long table and chairs vanished, and the God of Destiny appeared beside Lin Xiao.

"Interesting, truly fascinating. Is this your way of resisting destiny?"

Lin Xiao glanced at her and said flatly, "I never believed in such things."

"You lost. Tell me the method to remove the curse."

The God of Destiny smiled slightly, "I won't be a rogue like you."

Lin Xiao: "..."

The God of Destiny said, "A large part of the curse you received is actually fused with the power of the Curse God, and ordinary power cannot remove it."

Lin Xiao interjected, "Even using the [Venuss Blessing] couldn't remove it? Isn't Venus also a deity?"

"Venus?" The God of Destiny was stunned, a little surprised, "You actually used Venus's power?"

Then she added, "Although Venus is also a deity, her level is too low; she is a Low-Tier God. Since the Curse God is a Mid-Tier God, it's normal that it couldn't remove the curse."

Lin Xiao: "So I should ask the God of Light for help?"

He thought of one of the rewards from the sanctuary compass.

"The God of Light? That guy disappeared ages ago. Finding him is harder than ascending to heaven."

The God of Destiny paused, then continued, "Actually, the method is very simple. You don't need help from any god; you just need to go to the Tower of Heaven."

"The Tower of Heaven?"

An unexpected answer.

"Yes." The God of Destiny nodded, "It's just that your current level isn't high enough. Come find me when your level is sufficient, and I'll tell you the specific method."

"..." Lin Xiao: "Who was it just now that said they didn't like Riddle Solvers?"

The God of Destiny: "...Alright, you brat, you actually used my own words against me."

"Fine, I'll tell you. On the 95th floor of the Tower of Heaven, there is a City Lord of Light. You just need to obtain his heart."

"The 95th floor of the Tower of Heaven?"

Lin Xiao was stunned, then retorted, "But to climb to the 95th floor, you need at least Level 80, right? In my current situation, I can't even pass the Level 60 threshold."

If he couldn't Awaken, he couldn't level up to Level 60.

Once he Awakened, the curse would trigger.

The monsters above the 80th floor of the Tower of Heaven are almost all Level 80, 90, or possibly even Level 100.

Even the God of War only reached the 80th floor. It wasn't that his strength was insufficient, but that he didn't have time to continue climbing.

"That's why I said, come find me when you have the ability to enter the Tower of Heaven. I have a way to get you to the 95th floor," the God of Destiny said mysteriously.

A way to go directly to the 95th floor... "Alright, I'll come find you after I reach Level 30."

Level 30 is the minimum level required to enter the Tower of Heaven.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and asked again, "You said the Grass Set was sealed. Is there any way to unseal it?"

"Use modification stones. modification stones can remove some seals, but removing all of them might be difficult."

The God of Destiny did not hide anything and told Lin Xiao directly.

modification stones... Lin Xiao remembered having quite a few of those. They would come in handy.

"I understand."

Lin Xiao nodded, but was stopped just as he was about to exit the dungeon.

"Wait a moment. What if I told you that your ultimate victory was actually the result of destiny? Would you believe it?" the God of Destiny suddenly asked.

"No," Lin Xiao replied very bluntly.

"Why?"

"Because your claim of knowing my destiny is false."

The God of Destiny subconsciously blurted out, "How did you know?"

She then added, "Are you implying that I, the God of Destiny, am also fake?"

Lin Xiao shrugged, "I didn't say that. I only said your words were false. You didn't peer into my destiny at all; you were just making things up."

Vile!

Just as Lin Xiao had just said.

Of course, he only figured it out during the third round of the bet.

"How did you know?"

The God of Destiny didn't believe Lin Xiao had seen through her.

Lin Xiao was speechless, "You yourself said you don't use your abilities casually, and you like to manipulate other people's 'destiny' and find amusement in them. Most of what you say must be fabricated."

The God of Destiny was momentarily stunned by Lin Xiao's analysis, then burst into laughter.

"Yes, absolutely right! Lin Xiao, you truly are an interesting fellow. I look forward to our next meeting."
