108: Chapter 18 God of Gamblers, Elitas!

The ball of light entered his hand, and an indescribable warmth spread from his palm.

"Tower of God..."

Lu Yin repeated the name in a low voice.

On Habitable Planet No. 35, there were many kinds of strange tall towers.

But most of them required an entry ticket to enter.

The Tower of God was the most mysterious, dangerous, and at the same time, the most rewarding among these towers.

Holding this entry ticket, Lu Yin could clearly feel a distant and ancient calling.

However, the entry requirement of level one hundred made Lu Yin frown slightly.

After all, he still had a long way to go before reaching level one hundred.

This entry ticket felt more like a generous reward paid in advance, or a clear goal hanging in front of him.

"Human, you have already approached the gods. I look forward to the opportunity in the future for you to enter the true Divine Realm using your own strength."

The Dream God's lazy voice rang out again, bringing Lu Yin back to his senses as he asked in confusion.

"Humans can enter the true Divine Realm?"

"Of course, but the process might be very arduous."

The Dream God gave a mysterious smile: "Alright, it's time for you to leave."

"If you have time today, the Gods Arena will be very interesting."

As the Dream God's voice fell, the entire hall began to grow hazy, and the starlight on the starry dome around them gradually dimmed.

Ripples like water appeared on the mirrored floor beneath his feet, as if this world was gradually dissipating.

The next moment, a sense of weightlessness washed over him.

When his vision cleared again, Lu Yin found himself standing outside that starlit portal once more.

Then the light gate vanished, and everything returned to normal.

Only the golden paper ticket in his hand proved that what had just happened was real.

Lu Yin put the entry ticket into his inventory and stepped onto the teleportation array to leave.

Returning to the dormitory stairwell, Lu Yin looked at the steps to the second floor.

Since he had completed his first turn, he was actually qualified to move to the second floor.

As long as he passed the Golden City's trial, he could reside on the second floor.

However, recalling what the Dream God had said earlier, he decided to head to the Gods Arena first.

After all, he had won far too many things from the Dream God; it was like an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Moreover, his time was indeed running out; he would be setting off for the Western Alliance tomorrow.

He consumed a God's Credential, but the familiar starry scene did not appear as expected.

Instead, it was a bustling world so magnificent it was dazzling.

Huge crystal chandeliers hung from a ceiling so high it was out of sight, refracting thousands of blurred spots of light.

The air was thick with the richness of cigars, the sweetness of champagne, and an... indescribable, heart-pounding restless energy.

The spinning of wheels, the clatter of dice, and the clinking of stacked chips intertwined with cheers and sighs in various languages to form a wild and passionate symphony.

Lu Yin stood by a large roulette table, looking at the various 'people' around him.

Some were dressed in gorgeous formal wear, behaving elegantly.

Others had strange forms, either with scales and wings or tails swinging behind them.

Clearly, 'they' were not human.

But the only thing these creatures had in common was the flicker of desire for 'victory' and 'chips' in their eyes.

Looking at the completely different scene, Lu Yin raised an eyebrow.

What kind of trick was this Dream God playing now?

Just as Lu Yin was thinking this, his gaze pierced through the spinning roulette and the mountain of chips.

It landed deep in the hall, beneath the dome, where the only silent gambling table sat.

There were only two chairs at the table, and an elegant woman shrouded in mist sat alone on one side.

Lu Yin looked closely, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

That figure was actually not the Dream God!

"Is this the interesting thing the Dream God mentioned?"

Lu Yin walked forward in confusion and naturally took a seat on the other side of the gambling table.

When Lu Yin sat down at that silent gambling table, all the surrounding noise...

...seemed to be cut off by an invisible barrier, instantly receding into the distance.

His entire attention was drawn to the elegant woman across from him, shrouded in a hazy mist.

The mist was not solid, yet it skillfully distorted the light.

It made her specific appearance faint and indistinct, only outlining a graceful figure and a temperament as calm as an abyss.

"You've finally come, interesting human."

Lu Yin's heart tightened slightly, but his face remained calm: "Do we know each other?"

"And why isn't it the Dream God this time?"

Hearing Lu Yin's confusion, the figure in the mist replied.

"You don't know me, but I have been observing you for a long time."

"Since the first time you stepped into the Dream God's domain and engaged in that interesting 'challenge' with Her."

Lu Yin immediately understood that the other party was also a god-level existence and seemed to be well-acquainted with the Dream God.

He said in a deep voice: "May I ask for your honored title?"

"You can call me... the God of Gambling."

The God of Gambling elegantly raised her hand, and the mist flowed with it, revealing a section of her forearm that was so white it was almost transparent.

"The... God of Gambling?!"

Hearing the other party's title, Lu Yin's pupils constricted, and waves of shock surged in his heart.

He never expected that after the Dream God, he would so abruptly face another god.

And a god named after "Gambling."

"You needn't be surprised; Mebius and I are intimate friends."

"Her hobby of playing games was also influenced by me."

"As for why I am here..."

"It can only be said that you have piqued my interest."

She lightly raised her hand, and the mist curled around her fingertips, turning into a die with constantly changing patterns, floating in the center of the table.

"Lucky human, you have won many good things from Mebius."

"This luck and strength make even me want to... play a bit with you."

Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat; playing a game with the God of Gambling was obviously a guaranteed loss.

"Uh... Lord God of Gambling, your divine name is Gambling. If I play this kind of game with you, I will surely lose ten times out of ten."

Hearing Lu Yin's words, Ailithos let out a low and pleasant laugh.

"A cautious human, I like it."

The mist rippled slightly, seemingly reflecting her interested expression.

"Then how about this: you decide how we duel this time."

Hearing this, Lu Yin's gaze narrowed, and his thoughts raced.

He gets to decide the method of the duel?

This seemed like a great favor, but in reality, it could be a deeper trap.

Since the God of Gambling dared to say such a thing, she must have absolute confidence in any form of "gambling."

But this might also be an opportunity, a chance to fight for a glimmer of victory for himself.

He quickly scanned the surroundings.

The magnificent casino and the high-spirited crowd.

Only this gambling table seemed to exist independently of the entire space.

"Well? Have you not decided yet?"

The God of Gambling Ailithos's voice carried a hint of playfulness.

"There's only one chance. If you disappoint me this time, you might never see me again in your life."

"Furthermore, the stakes I'm putting up are definitely worth no less than the three divine artifacts the Dream God gave you combined."

These words were like they possessed infinite magic.

"Then, may I know what your stakes actually are?"

Lu Yin suddenly withdrew his gaze and looked directly at the hazy figure in front of him.
