Who Is More Important to You

Pixiu couldn't understand what this thing was, that it could make a Huiyang cultivator use the power of rules.

They... have been hiding in the sea for too long and are unaware of the new ways of the world.

Then the only option is to follow the path.

Du Pingsheng had said that these dice shouldn't be used on people whose rank was too high. Qin Yi originally thought he wouldn't need them, but the Pixiu, following Qin Yi's advice, willingly agreed to the bet.

If only a contract is needed to witness it, then the rules of this dice game are established.

The covenant of the Gambling Clan is a resonance with the rules of heaven and earth, unchangeable, and its outcome is always determined by the winner of the gamble.

Golden characters seemed to flash across the sky, their meaning incomprehensible, yet a pact arose in everyone's heart: Heaven and Earth bear witness, the wager is established.

The battle was forcibly stopped, and neither side could attack the other or perform any other actions; they could only engage in a gamble.

Seeing the Pixiu's face contorted with disgust, Qin Yi laughed heartily, feeling extremely satisfied. What was the point of dragging it out with a fight? What he needed was to interrupt the spellcasting. Now, Bangbang was definitely going to be saved.

I've long suspected that Gambling Master is a powerful control technique; it's truly ingenious.

Before he could even finish gloating, Liusu yelled, "Idiot! You idiot!"

"Huh?" The giant Qin Yi was confused. "What's wrong? Why don't you take this opportunity to break free instead of cursing me?"

"I broke free, but I can't break your Heaven and Earth Contract, and I can't even kill this Pixiu!" Liusu floated over and cursed, "This is the power of the rules, you idiot, you have to really gamble with it!"

"Oh, I see." Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "Isn't it enough that you escaped danger? Who cares about all that? Let's just gamble with it."

Liusu retorted angrily, "Have you thought about what will happen if you lose the bet? You think your bet is just about not stopping it? It's not that simple. Heaven and earth are just. Since you've placed your bet on filling the Spirit of Jian Mu, if it loses, it fills it; if you lose, of course you fill it. Are you out of your mind?"

Qin Yi blinked. "But I... don't think I'll lose."

Liusu glared angrily, while Qin Yi remained calm.

The two stared at each other for a while, Liusu snorted and turned her head away from him.

What is the gamble? It's about whether Qin Yi values himself more or Liusu more.

The Pixiu beside him, with a sour face, finally asked, "How do you measure it?"

Who is more important in one's heart is something that cannot be quantified or measured, so how can one gamble on it?

Qin Yi slowly took out a balance scale.

Before coming to the Great Wilderness, I asked the Gambling Sect for War Preparation. Du Pingsheng gave me dice and a scale that I thought I would never need.

Du Pingsheng said, "When weighing everything, who is the most important?"

Qin Yi examined the scales for a long time, unable to understand their mechanism. If Heavenly Dao doesn't approve, then other methods must be used, such as creating an extreme situation where only one can survive, to see if you prioritize yourself or save Liusu.

Once you're subjected to that kind of torture, it's a tragedy. No matter what, only one can survive. Isn't this gamble just a trap you set for yourself? Winning is pointless!

Golden patterns flashed across the sky, enveloping the scales before disappearing into them, radiating a gentle glow. An image arose in everyone's mind: Yes.

Pixiu frowned.

Qin Yi let out another sigh of relief.

The gambling stuff is really fun...

It turns out this can actually be used for weighing, without resorting to extreme measures that could lead to death. This thing that resonates with the rules of Heavenly Dao is truly an amazing treasure. It seems I should go back and exchange ideas with the people of the Gambling Sect more often; it's quite interesting.

Just as Liusu was about to speak, an invisible force of heaven and earth enveloped her, placing the Little Ghost on one side of a scale like a figurine.

Liusu sat on the scales, looking at Qin Yi with a blank expression.

The scales didn't budge an inch.

It cannot cheat at all, and cannot exert any power.

The Pixiu couldn't help but sneer, "And then? You sit on the other end?"

Qin Yi tried sitting at the other end, but there was no response.

He looked up at the sky and knew he wasn't sitting on the other end.

This is the weight in one's heart, not the weight of a person.

Du Pingsheng had already explained how to weigh it. The Pixiu clearly understood as well, and laughed loudly, "Looks like we're going to have to dig out the heart."

Baxia turned his head.

Liusu gazed intently.

"Weighing? You don't even dare to dig out your heart, what are you measuring? Haha... hahaha..." The Pixiu laughed, looking up at the sky. "What a ridiculous bet, you've dug your own grave, filling me with Jianmu wood... uh?"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yi plunged his claw deep into his own heart.

Blood splattered.

The Pixiu's expression changed.

Liusu sat in front of him, staring blankly. The crimson blood in Qin Yi's chest exploded and fell in front of him like fireworks, a tragic and beautiful sight.

Qin Yi, without changing his expression, took out his heart, looked at it with a hint of curiosity, and then grinned. "A wonderful Cultivation Method given by the Heartless God. You can live even with your heart out. I feel that your lungs have temporarily taken over the effects of your heart. It's amazing."

You even have time to study the effects on your heart...

Liusu's lips twitched slightly, but she pursed them tightly and said nothing.

Baxia's voice echoed in the space, "A true hero indeed."

Whether or not one can survive by giving their heart away, the fact that one can give their own heart is something that is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

So what if I don't die? Most people would find it hard to cut off a finger willingly, let alone have their heart removed!

A true hero.

The Pixiu roared, "Put it up! Taking your heart because Cultivation Method that allows you to live without a heart—what kind of proof is that? This King don't believe anyone in this world isn't thinking of themselves! Your own opinion is useless; you're destined to lose this bet!"

Qin Yi and Liusu stared at each other, their arrogant conversations from the past few days echoing in their ears.

Everyone thinks they are the most important person.

"You think I'm doing this for you? Who isn't doing it for themselves?"

"No, I'm not..."

No, that's not me.

"Actually, you weren't either," Qin Yi said in a low voice, seemingly unconcerned about the blood gushing from his chest. "Just now, you stood in front of me with your arms outstretched, saying it was for your own sake?"

Liusu did not answer, but continued to stare at him.

His face was deathly pale, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing with excruciating pain, yet he remained calm and silent.

Qin Yi smiled, then weakly squatted down, placing his heart on the other side of the scale.

Baxia Pixiu's gaze was entirely fixed on the scales, and even the Spirit of Jian Mu in the distance seemed to be swaying.

How much does a person's soul weigh? Some say twenty-one grams, others say thirty-five grams.

How much does a person's heart weigh? Two hundred and fifty grams, or half a pound.

If it's a regular balance scale, the side with the heart is obviously heavier, so there's no need to measure it.

However, this kind of balance does not measure physical weight, but the most intangible and immeasurable thing—the weight in one's heart.

Only Heaven and Earth can bear witness, only Heaven and Earth can measure.

As the Pixiu's expression changed drastically, the balance on the Liusu side slowly sank.

The weight of a soul crushed a heart.

The Little Ghost in his heart truly outweighed his own importance.

Heaven and earth are our bond, victory and defeat are clearly determined.

A burst of golden light erupted from the scales, enveloping the Pixiu.

"No! You're cheating! You must have used a special Law Treasure to forge the token of heaven and earth!" Pixiu's voice rang out in the golden light, but no one paid any attention to it.

Qin Yi and Liusu remained locked in a stare-down. Liusu's eyes were completely unreadable, but Qin Yi's eyes held a smile as he beckoned with his finger, "See, we won."

"Boom!" The Pixiu's body was torn to pieces, and a Spirit Body wrapped in golden light was forcibly thrown into the Spirit of Jian Mu. The screams quickly stopped and there was no more sound.

The laws of heaven and earth are inviolable. My disbelief just now was my final words.

The Spirit of Jian Mu flourished, and the flesh and blood of Pixiu seeped into Jianmu, providing the missing energy nourishment. The energy of Jianmu, which was already reviving, became even more powerful.

Only one ring remained, rolling on the ground, with a Spirit Body resembling a small Pixiu hovering around it.

"Still not dead?" Qin Yi forced himself to lift the Wolf Tooth Club.

"No, it's dead." Baxia's deep voice sighed, "It's just a mindless... Treasure-Guardian Spirit."

It raised its head, its enormous dragon eyes looking at Qin Yi: "You... are remarkable."
