Dungeon Reward: Guiding Fate
Under the intimidating power of the God of Fun, Lin Xiao could only obediently hand over the small notebook he had just used to record gossip.
The God of Fun flipped through it, then put it into her pocket.
At this moment, Lin Xiao asked the question that the God of Fire dared not ask in her presence, "Does the armor of the Avatar of the City Lord of Light really need the 'Eternal Kindling Flame' to be destroyed?"
This was the God of Fire's innate flame!
He didn't believe that the armor of the Avatar of the City Lord of Light was so sturdy that it required a flame of the 'Eternal Kindling Flame' level.
However, since the God of Fun had said it first, he naturally couldn't go against her.
So, he waited until the first round was over and the dust settled before asking.
"Hehe~ Of course not. A casual wisp of fire from the God of Fire, combined with Old Goat's oil, would be enough. But aren't you going to find Old Goat? This flame can be a stepping stone," the Goddess of Fate explained.
Hearing her words, Lin Xiao immediately understood.
Old Goat is the God of Forging. The only two things he values are rare metal materials and special flames!
The God of Fire's 'Eternal Kindling Flame' would be his bargaining chip.
"You even thought of that?" Lin Xiao looked at the God of Fun in surprise.
"Hehe~" The Goddess of Fate chuckled and snapped her fingers. Everything that had been destroyed by the God of Fire instantly returned to its original state.
She then said, "I'm a good person. Not only did I tell you the solution, but I also provided people and effort to help you. You really should thank me properly."
...
Hearing this, if it were anyone else, Lin Xiao would definitely thank them.
But the one who said these words was the Goddess of Fate, a malicious individual who enjoyed watching fun and toying with others' destinies.
So, it was hard to say.
Lin Xiao glanced at her and said indifferently, "You just like to watch the fun, don't you?"
Not getting too entangled in this question, Lin Xiao continued, "You can also call Old Goat over."
Now, with just Old Goat's oil, he would be able to enter the Tower of Heaven.
"No," the God of Fun shook her head. "That guy is a homebody. He just likes to hammer away in his cave all day and rarely goes out."
Lin Xiao suggested, "Trick him into coming?"
The God of Fun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you want to be smashed to death by his hammer?"
"It's not really a trick, is it? Don't I happen to have the 'Eternal Kindling Flame' on me?"
"Even then, he won't come out unless you go to him."
The Goddess of Fate knew Old Goat very well.
After all, he was one of the oldest gods in the Holy Temple.
"Where is he?" Lin Xiao asked.
"He's in the Forging God Mountain dungeon. This dungeon doesn't have a fixed location and is generally hard to find, but I can contact him. Once I confirm his location, I'll tell you."
This was the only way to find Old Goat.
"Thank you."
Lin Xiao expressed his sincere gratitude.
Regardless of what mindset the God of Fun had in helping him, she had indeed helped him solve many troublesome matters.
"Hehe~ You can thank people too?"
Lin Xiao ignored her and asked about something else he cared about.
"Do you know Xiao Mo?"
He had heard from her that she had met the Goddess of Fate and received a Fate Revelation, which was why she left various means to completely kill the Evil God in the future... which was now.
However, he was very curious about Xiao Mo's origin, so after seeing the God of Fun, he asked about her.
The God of Fun blinked, "Xiao Mo? Who's that?"
"A girl who uses psychic powers. She received a 'Fate Revelation' and sealed the Evil God, waiting for a fated person to completely kill the Evil God," Lin Xiao said.
"Oh~ Now that you mention it, I remember. There was indeed such a person, a very interesting little fellow," the God of Fun looked at Lin Xiao curiously, "Isn't she your summoned beast now? What do you want to ask?"
Lin Xiao: "I want to know her origin."
"Origin?" The God of Fun was surprised by Lin Xiao's question, but still replied.
"She was originally an ordinary child, but after Green Capital was destroyed, she became a collection of grievances. Because the grievances were very clear, I integrated them to make her at least look like a person.
Due to her own reasons, she couldn't leave Green Capital and had to stay there forever.
However, she seems to have found a way to escape."
The God of Fun paused, then added, "If you want to ask if the current Xiao Mo is the same as the previous Xiao Mo, I can only tell you that I don't know either."
...After learning what he wanted to know, Lin Xiao also prepared to leave.
Old Goat's current location was still unknown and required news from the God of Fun. During this time, he could continue to level up, which would provide an extra layer of security when entering the Tower of Heaven.
"What reward do you want?"
Seeing Lin Xiao about to leave, the God of Fun suddenly asked.
Lin Xiao was startled, "Reward? What reward?"
"dungeon rewards, of course. The Gods Assembly Hall is also a special dungeon. Since you've cleared it, you definitely need to be given a reward, otherwise, it wouldn't follow the rules."
The God of Fun explained.
Lin Xiao suddenly realized.
No wonder he suddenly received a coin of destiny after leaving last time. So that's how it was.
"You can decide the reward?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Yes, you can. Whichever god you meet in the Gods Assembly Hall, after completing their challenge, you can receive a clearance reward from them."
The God of Fun knew Lin Xiao was unclear, so she specifically explained it.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, "Anything I want?"
"Theoretically, yes, as long as the relationship is good." Then, the God of Fun changed her tone and looked at Lin Xiao, "But our relationship isn't that good, is it? You're on the God of Fire's side, not mine."
"...Wasn't I cooperating with you? Otherwise, how would the God of Fire lend me the 'Eternal Kindling Flame'?" Lin Xiao looked at the God of Fun and asked, "You wouldn't have failed to see through that, would you?"
The God of Fun snorted, "Of course I saw through it. Your clumsy acting couldn't even fool the God of Fire, let alone me."
The Goddess of Fate spread her hand, and a quill pen appeared in it.
"You won't get to choose your own reward, but I can give you three 'Fate Guidance' for you to choose from."
"This is something others beg me for, and I wouldn't even give it to them. You've really hit the jackpot this time."
Lin Xiao pouted, muttering in his heart: She just asked what reward I wanted, but in the end, she's still deciding it herself.
However, he was also curious about what the God of Fun's "Fate Guidance" would reveal.
Buzz~~~
The brilliant starry sky seemed like a giant mirror suddenly inverted, with chaos surging as the Goddess of Fate stood still, holding a quill pen.
Her exquisite figure seemed to merge with the vast galaxy, emanating a dreamy halo. A mysterious power flowed like a babbling brook from every inch of her skin and every strand of her hair, as if to penetrate endless time and space, with the light and shadows of the past and future appearing faintly in the ripples of this power.
A moment later, this mysterious power slowly converged, finally gathering on the quill pen she lightly held between her fingers.
A faint light flickered. Whether the person moved with the pen or the pen moved with the person, characters were imprinted in the void.
