Chapter 99 The ugly man who plays with flowers
Does the Son of Destiny really exist in this world?

Wen Rui is very concerned about this issue, because according to historical experience, the time traveler is most likely no match for the Son of Destiny. Even if the situation on the battlefield is one-sided, it will be reversed by the meteors summoned by the Son of Destiny.

After years of research, Wen Rui determined that there are a series of complex black box formulas for "luck" related attributes in the prehistoric world, such as blessings, sources of fortune, chance, cause and effect, etc. If these attributes are concentrated on one person, then this person may become the son of luck.

But even if these lucky attributes are bestowed upon a person, they will not remain absolutely unchanged.

"Impermanence" is one of the core concepts of Western religions. The Tao Te Ching says: "It is better to stop when you have enough than to hold on to it; it is impossible to keep something sharp for long. A house full of gold and jade cannot be guarded; pride in wealth and honor will bring disaster upon oneself."

The sons of luck are not rule gods with constant and infinite luck values. Their great luck will be constantly diminished due to their sins and crimes, and they will eventually become like ordinary people.

Although Wen Rui understood this principle, he did not have the special ability to directly identify the identity of the Son of Fortune. Therefore, setting up an experimental field to screen the Son of Fortune became an important change he made when modifying the secret realm formation.

At the entrance to the final hidden vault in the secret realm, there are nine layers of barriers. Each layer of barriers has a door, which is called the "Door of Impermanence". The Door of Impermanence leads to both the "Door of Life" and the "Door of Death".

"Gate of Life" and "Gate of Death" are just as their names suggest. Entering the Gate of Life will allow you to get phased rewards and pass barriers, while entering the Gate of Death will activate a powerful mechanism that will instantly pounce on anyone below the Immortal level.

Inside the "Impermanence Gate" is a fully enclosed space that cannot be observed from the outside world. There is a switch controlled by radioactive material inside.

After someone is teleported into the trap, the timer starts running. During the countdown, there is a 50% chance that the radioactive material will decay and the switch will teleport the person to the death gate, while there is a 50% chance that the radioactive material will not decay and the person will be teleported to the life gate.

That’s right, the monks in the Wuchang Gate space are in a quantum superposition state like Schrödinger’s cat, which is both alive and dead. It will collapse into a definite state of life and death after the countdown.

The reason why there is no direct setting of the gate of life and death for the monks to choose is to prevent teammates from stepping on mines. At most nine people can be sacrificed to find a correct route.

This setting can eliminate all off-site interference factors and set each person's passing probability at 50%.

Once you enter the Gate of Impermanence, life and death are unpredictable. You cannot judge the pattern based on whether your teammates can pass, nor can you cheat. You can only rely on your own luck to endure.

The probability of passing through all nine barriers with an absolute 50% chance is only %. Since Gu Changfeng can stand here intact, it proves that he is truly a son of luck and there is some unknown underlying logic of the world's rules that helps him cheat.

This screening experiment itself also has the effect of weakening one's luck. The principle is very simple. Every time you pass through the Gate of Impermanence is a test of life and death. Even if a cat tries to die nine times in a row without dying, its life will be used up by the tenth time.

The opportunities to consume luck and avoid fatal disasters were wasted in the trap room of the experimental area set up by Wen Rui. It was like a cat lying on the railroad tracks to sleep. No matter how strong its life was, it could not withstand being crushed by a train. All the good steel was used on the handle of the knife, and when encountering a real crisis, there was no luck left.

This screening test is not aimed at Gu Changfeng. Any candidate selected will become the target of Wen Rui's long-term surveillance and observation in the future. If he can be won over, he will be won over. If not, he will be eliminated at any opportunity.

For Wen Rui, the fact that his old enemy Gu Changfeng could stand out was a pleasant surprise. It provided reliable intelligence support for him to continue hunting him in the future. For five hundred years, Wen Rui has been a lone wolf, with no reliable teammates around him. It would be better for him to do it himself than to hand over the collection of key intelligence to Jarvis, an artificial idiot. Otherwise, if there are a few more mistakes, Wen Rui will suspect that Jarvis has awakened the personality of Ultron and started to plot to kill his master and establish himself.

However, from another perspective, Gu Changfeng's victory may not be a sign of his good fortune, but may also be a sign of his bad fortune. Because a person with real good fortune will seek benefits and avoid harm. Even if he doesn't know that this secret realm is a trap set by Wen Rui, he will avoid it by chance and will not enter the game at all.

Wen Rui knew exactly what this old white-faced man surnamed Gu had done. Just based on all the dirty things he had done in the past, it would be enough to send him to hell ten times.

Even if he had saved the world in his previous life, the blessings he inherited in this life should have been ruined. He chose to collude with the elders of the sect and manipulated the situation behind the scenes to make himself a false hero. This in itself was an evil act that ruined his luck. It was due to karma that he fell into Wen Rui's trap.

If God wants to destroy a person, He will first make him crazy. He will rely on his good luck and do nothing. If a person is crazy, God will punish him. If God does not punish him, auspicious signs will come to punish him.

This world-famous highlight moment was probably the pinnacle of Gu Changfeng's life. What followed was the ups and downs of trough gliding, with the background music being "My Love Has All Healed". It was an absolutely thrilling and authentic extreme sport, and the mortality rate was even comparable to that of wing suit flying.

Enjoying the admiration of the female monks below the stage, Gu Changfeng felt very good. He glanced at the wretched and humble Wen Rui beside him and said with a smile:
"Boss Wen, long time no see. I have some history with you. If you hadn't spent tens of millions of spirit stones to buy me a fresh demon corpse, I would have made up for the lack of 'wealth' in my Dharma, Lu, and Caidi. With sufficient resources, I would have made rapid progress and achieved what I have today. Thinking of this, I would like to thank you very much."

"Okay, okay. I didn't expect that Mr. Gu would still remember a lowly businessman like me."

Wen Rui smiled and solemnly made the Jinling Sect's international friendly gesture to him. "Let's talk business. I wonder if Mr. Gu is interested in making some extra money?"

"Oh?" Gu Changfeng's eyes lit up: "Boss Wen, you are addicted again. Do you want to buy the corpse of a beautiful female fairy from me to play with? It's a pity that I don't have any stock on hand. But if Boss Wen has the patience to wait, I will need some time to purchase more."

This guy was talking about something that was not relevant to him. Wen Rui's eyes twitched when he heard it. He almost lost control of his expression. He waved his hands awkwardly and said, "I'm quitting... It's too expensive and harmful to my health. I haven't played it for a long time. I'm tired of it."

What else can Wen Rui say? Should he tell him the truth that he collected the corpses of his junior sisters to study the killer weapon of the demon god, and record all of you murderers in the "Death Note" so that when he has the strength in the future, he will capture you all and drag you to the graves of his junior sisters to bleed you!

Just go with the flow and let this extremely disgusting rumor become the best disguise. After all, people only believe what they want to believe and don't care about the truth.

"That's a pity..."

Gu Changfeng was slightly disappointed, and looked at Wen Rui with eyes full of contempt and arrogance.

It seems that he regards Wen Rui as a man who is keen on playing with the corpses of women he has played with, a perverted and resentful man who is incompetent in pleasing women, and who is like a toad chasing frogs and is ugly but plays with flowers.
