This villain is too popular.

Chapter 346 It wasn't that he chose the 'King,' but rather that whoever he chose became the 'King.'

After being subjected to Caroline's "silent treatment," Tiandao ultimately did not choose to pry and ask Caroline to explain her judgment. Instead, he asked her to make a choice for him.

"Caroline, just pick one for me, I trust you."

Caroline was taken aback, not expecting the Heavenly Dao to say such a thing.

Seeing the smiling expression on Tiandao's face, Caroline knew he wasn't joking.

After a brief moment of thought, Caroline glanced at the floating playing cards in the distance and made her decision.

Let's choose the 13th card from right to left.

"What's the reason?"

The Way of Heaven inquired with great interest.

"There's no particular reason, it's just that this guy's ranking happens to be 13."

Caroline's answer was simple and direct, without any further explanation, as if that was enough to form the sole basis for her choice.

"interesting."

Tiandao turned to look at Mi Yao and said with a smile, "Did you hear that, Mi Yao? Choose that one."

Mi Yao's face was gloomy, but he finally raised his hand and waved it.

Before long, a playing card wrapped in pale purple star energy slowly floated to the front of the Heavenly Dao.

Its face is still down, like an unsolved mystery, leaving people unable to know its true answer.

Before the mystery could be solved, Tiandao didn't even glance at the playing card in front of him before turning and walking towards the entrance of the passage.

The hem of the black trench coat swept across the gravel on the ground with a soft rustling sound.

With his back to Mi Yao, Tian Dao waved his hand and said, "Remember to come see me in a couple of days. I have something to arrange for you."

At the same time, the ninety-nine martial arts badges that were originally scattered in the training ground suddenly seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and they all soared into a subspace rift and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Caroline silently followed the Heavenly Dao.

Only Ghosn, Mi Yao, and Chen Kong remained in the training ground.

Strangely, Mi Yao stood still, staring intently at the playing card flying in mid-air, showing no intention whatsoever of raising his hand to flip it over.

It was as if he didn't even need to see what the card was to have already decided that he had lost.

"You're just giving up like that?"

Chen Kong leaned against the wall to stand up, though the pain in his chest was still lingering.

But looking at Mi Yao's appearance, his curiosity overcame his physical pain.

Even though the cards haven't been revealed yet, why does Mi Yao look like he's already lost?

The viewers on all 13 stations were equally puzzled by this.

Because they felt that this card was drawn randomly by Heaven.

It could be any hand; you can't say for sure it will win.

Moreover, the entire card-drawing process was handled by Mi Yao, and Tian Dao also said that he would not tamper with anything.

For someone like Tiandao, he would never break his word.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Mi Yao has a better chance of winning.

But the one who admitted defeat was Mi Yao, which is undoubtedly very unrealistic.

'Why isn't Mi Yao flipping his card? What if Lao Dao didn't draw the King?'

'He left without even looking at his cards? Lao Tian is way too confident.'

'If you're not a true friend, don't play the riddle game.'

Just as the viewers were wondering about the outcome, Ghosn, who had been standing in the corner, finally spoke up.

"No need to flip it, that must be the king."

Ghosn paused, then gestured with his chin toward the playing cards.

"If you don't believe me, you can open it and see for yourself."

Chen Kong hesitated for a moment, but finally raised his hand and gently touched the card with his star energy.

As the card slowly flipped over, a golden pattern shone brightly in everyone's eyes.

[Playing Card: Joker]

This result left Chen Kong stunned on the spot.

"It should be the future vision of the Star Eclipse Sky Eye."

Chen Kong believed he had revealed the reason for Tiandao's victory: that he had used his future vision to see the outcome of each card and then selected the 'King'.

But his words once again drew ridicule from Mi Yao.

"humor."

Mi Yao's voice was hoarse, tinged with self-deprecation.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the remaining playing cards were instantly spread out.

Shockingly, the remaining playing cards were all Kings!

"what?!"

Ignoring Chen Kong's astonishment, Mi Yao stared intently at his 'Little King' and said in a low voice, "This is a game card I specially made. The card's appearance will change according to the confidence of both players."

"I thought that after I revealed the Little King, the confidence of the Heavenly Dao would change slightly."

"If his confidence wavers even slightly, he won't be able to draw the King; at most, he'll only draw the Little King."

"Therefore, in my opinion, the outcome of this game is either a win or a draw; there is no such thing as a loss."

"But I overestimated myself and underestimated him."

At this point, Mi Yao looked up at the ceiling and sighed, "...because from the moment I had the thought that 'a draw would be acceptable,' the outcome of this game was already predetermined."

Mi Yao looked up in the direction Tian Dao had left, his expression complex.

"Heaven has always believed that it will win."

"Because for him, his world has no 'possibility,' only 'certainty.'"

"So no matter which card he chooses, that card will become the King."

Upon hearing this, Chen Kong and the audience on Station 13 understood.

It turns out that this game was never about the 'value of the cards,' but rather about the 'confidence' of both sides.

just
"What if we used regular playing cards instead? Would the outcome be different?"

Hearing Chen Kong's naive words, Ghosn couldn't help but speak up.

"Kong, don't you understand?"

"Understand what?"

Looking at Chen Kong, who still hadn't grasped the essence of things, Ghosn sighed, "Understanding is never about the Heavenly Dao choosing the 'King,' but rather about any 'card' chosen by the Heavenly Dao becoming the King."

"So even if you use regular playing cards, the result will be the same."

"This is the way of Heaven and the will of Heaven. Everyone else is hoping to become one of the lucky ones out of ten thousand, but he doesn't believe in this so-called miracle."

"Because he only believes in himself."

Upon hearing this, Chen Kong was completely stunned.

Looking at the Great King floating in mid-air not far away, and recalling the indifferent back view of the Heavenly Dao when it left, he suddenly felt as if something had hit his heart.

Yes, the power of the Heavenly Dao is never the crushing force of star sources or future vision, but rather the absolute confidence of 'I am the world'.

He doesn't need to resort to tricks or predictions, because he believes he will win, and the world will operate according to his belief.

As if to verify Ghosn's words, the camera focused on Caroline and Tendou as they left.

"Heavenly Dao, did you predict all along that Mi Yao would take out that set of game cards?"

Upon hearing Caroline's question, Tendou said nonchalantly, "More or less, because he's afraid that if he used any other method, he wouldn't even be able to achieve a one in ten thousand draw."

"What if he happens to choose regular playing cards?"

In response, the Heavenly Dao slowly came to a halt.

In the movie's art style, Tendou is bathed in sunlight at the entrance of the passage, and in the most relaxed tone, he utters the most arrogant words.

"That doesn't matter, because only the world I choose is the real world."

"So, no matter what Mi Yao chooses, I will be the one who wins in the end."

"."

Upon receiving this answer, Caroline was taken aback for a moment, and finally shook her head helplessly.

Because of her intelligence, she perceived a special meaning in the words of Heaven.

But she did not choose to expose it.

Is only the world chosen by Heaven the true world?
That really fits the kind of thing he would say.
