That's not all.

Although the "emperor's" words had already shocked Qianhuan, Old Zhou, and Li Hua.

All three were shocked that he had gone to such lengths to guard against Lin Yu's [Guest Appearance Invitation].

But Lin Yu knew...

The emperor's plans didn't stop there!

He was wary not only of inviting other Deity to his place using the "Guest Appearance Invitation."

Even...

The emperor's method against him was to completely prevent him from using any [Guest Appearance Invitation] or any [Item].

This "Venue selection" is just one aspect.

Lin Yu could sense that the real killing move... originated from his own body.

Even though he had used the power of four Authority in that instant...

However, this only lasted for a fleeting moment.

Lin Yu can now sense that his body has been covered by another Authority.

"Domination!"

During the time he was affected and trapped by that "closed perception" method, the "emperor" had already invoked the Authority "Domination" and completely brought his body under the control of Domination Authority.

Although I have now enabled four Authority overlays, it has indeed affected the effect of the "Domination" Authority to some extent.

But...

This Authority "Domination" has not failed.

The emperor slowly raised his hand, his fingers gently moving in the air. Lin Yu could feel his body breaking free from his will, forcibly twisting his desires.

He threw the [Guest Appearance Invitation] on the ground.

Subsequently, Lin Yu even felt himself uncontrollably taking out the [Limit Breaking Jade Cleaver] from his [Item Space].

"That was dangerous. You really do have this 'creation' from the Limit Breaking Jade series," the emperor remarked, looking at the Kitchen Knife with its bluish-green blade. "She really did find a way to leave one of her most prized creations to you."

Lin Yu's hand involuntarily tossed the Kitchen Knife toward the emperor. The young man on the dragon throne caught the Kitchen Knife and carefully placed it aside.

While Lin Yu was shocked that the emperor's "Domination" Authority could allow him to Domination his will to open the [Item Space] and retrieve specific [Item], what concerned him even more was...

"What do you mean by 'the most prized creation'... Is the Limit Breaking Jade related to my sister? Isn't this a creation of the Gray Domain?"

The emperor sneered, "Even with its powerful 'computing power' and understanding of high-ranking Authority, the Central Mechanism formed by the aggregation of the World Will is ultimately a pathetic existence lacking imagination and agency... They could never design an Item like the 'Limit Breaking Jade' that directly targets the loopholes in the 'Death game', no matter how hard they try. It is, of course, her creation, and can only be a creation she designed."

"Only someone like her, who once held the Authority both the 'Game' and the 'Rule,' and who isn't as unimaginative as 'Nine Waters,' could have designed such a [Item]."

"This manipulation of the 'Death game' mentality could only be her doing... As her only family member, didn't you realize this?"

Looking at the [Limit Breaking Jade Cleaver] beside the other person, Lin Yu immediately felt it made perfect sense.

"No wonder you're so wary of her... to the point that you're going to expend so much effort on someone like me, a mere 'Tier 2'."

Lin Yu murmured, and the Emperor spoke, "I absolutely cannot allow such a calamity to happen again..."

"Of course, my initial interest in you was indeed because of her... But now, my apprehension towards you is not solely based on your 'purpose'," the Emperor said in a low voice. "You yourself are someone who will always surprise me... Indeed, although you are not her, as her 'blood relative,' you have inherited some of her terror."

Lin Yu said coldly, "If I had truly inherited even a third of my sister's skill, you wouldn't dare appear before me like this... and I wouldn't have given you so much time to scheme against me in secret."

As Lin Yu spoke, the emperor burst into laughter.

Hahahaha!

He smiled, shook his head, and held up a finger, shaking it. "You're wrong..."

The emperor paused for a moment, then corrected Lin Yu very seriously.

"Let alone three points, even one point would be too much for me to handle with such a hasty and careless plan."

The emperor spoke earnestly and arrogantly.

"But unfortunately, you are not her."

Upon hearing this, Qianhuan couldn't help but interject.

"Damn it, what's with this emperor acting all high and mighty? He's acting like the 'Director's' sister is his sister!"

Having heard this far, Qianhuan had roughly understood some of it, so she naturally started to complain.

Old Zhou said in a low voice, "But no matter what, the 'Director' is awake... This emperor is very wary of him, perhaps we should find a way to further loosen the Director's restrictions!"

"Fang Qing Boss once said that if you don't know how to defeat your opponent in a battle, you should observe and guess what the enemy least wants you to do; there must be a key to breaking the deadlock there."

Li Hua's voice rang out.

"What the Player's said makes a lot of sense... She really is a genius. It's a pity that I don't have many opportunities to talk to her anymore."

Qianhuan looked at Li Hua and said smugly, "Do you need to tell me how amazing our Boss?"

Li Hua ignored Qianhuan, instead bending down to pick up the [Twenty-sided Die] from the ground and looking at the "Emperor".

A string of probabilities appeared in his glasses.

Following those probabilities, the aura and power flow of the "Authority" level, which Li Hua couldn't see before, became clear, outlined in the form of those "dynamic probability numbers".

The "death by a thousand cuts" torture inflicted on him had caused significant blood loss, and Li Hua was already experiencing mild dizziness.

In addition, the physical pain he was experiencing was also interfering with Li Hua's thinking.

With more numbers popping up and a massive influx of information flooding into Li Hua's brain, he felt extremely tired and strained, even to the point of feeling "struggling."

"It's been so long..."

Li Hua sighed.

From childhood to adulthood, whether it was calculating cards and probabilities at the card table or doing math olympiad problems when he was bored at school, he never had this feeling of "overworking his brain".

When was the last time I had this feeling?

It was probably during my time in university, when I was doing research for those truly brilliant alumni in the "field of mathematics"...

Li Hua took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from her nose.

"If only I could connect remotely and they could help me out..."

Li Hua thought to himself, then looked at the "Emperor".

"Paying attention to Comrade 'Director' is indeed a correct strategy," Li Hua said calmly, "But... you shouldn't look down on me or let me do whatever I want because of it."

Li Hua paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, it's also possible that, as you said, this is your 'Heart Domain,' your Divine Kingdom Projection, and this place is still within the seal of the Prison Mountain Realm... So although you seem to be handling things with ease, in reality, your 'Authority' power is insufficient to support you in completely sealing off the 'Director' and confronting his Authority- level methods, even if you spare just a little bit of power for me."

That's where you went wrong.

Upon hearing Li Hua's words, the emperor turned his gaze to the "Gambler."

"What kind of trouble can you possibly cause? You're just a mere 'Tier 3'."

Li Hua held up the [Twenty-sided Die]: "Tier 3 is enough... because Tier 3 will grant you [Exclusive item]."

The emperor said in a low voice, "This is not your [Exclusive item]."

Li Hua nodded. "Yes, this isn't my [Exclusive item]. It's a [Item] that the 'Secretary' designed for me, and it suits me perfectly... However, the 'Magician' over there has always thought that this [Twenty-sided Die] is my [Exclusive item]."

Qianhuan's voice came through. "What? This thing isn't your [Exclusive item]?"

Li Hua gently tossed the Dice down.

"Of course not, but it's understandable that you might misunderstand, because this [Item] is indeed very powerful and perfectly suited to my 'Profession' abilities... It can create a 'probability judgment' event out of thin air, so some people might actually believe it's my [Exclusive item]."

"Furthermore... my [Exclusive item] is often used in conjunction with it."

As he spoke, Li Hua gently raised his hand, and a metallic bell appeared in his palm.

He rang the metal bell.

"Bite--!"

As the crisp bell, usually heard in Casino at the moment of "place your bet and close your bet," rang out, Li Hua spoke.

"This is my [Exclusive item]... It's kind of funny, its name is [God Does Not Roll Dice]."

"Perhaps it's because although I've awakened to the 'Gambler' mentality, I'm still essentially in the Casino business, so deep down I don't really believe in 'probability' and 'luck' that much..."

As Li Hua finished speaking, the spinning Twenty-Sided Dice came to an abrupt stop, landing on the number "15".

It wasn't just that the Dice stopped spinning.

In Li Hua's field of vision, all those fluctuating and changing "probabilities" were instantly locked down by him.

All the uncertain, changing, and observable probabilistic events, though not yet "certain outcomes," have in themselves become a kind of "constant."

This is the effect of [God Does Not Roll Dice].

But...

Its effect is not limited to the probability of "locking in".

This is merely a preliminary effect of its true capabilities.

The next moment...

In Li Hua's view, all the probabilistic events "jumped" again.

That was the last "beat" he artificially induced.

Each fluctuation is precisely "0.1%".

A one in a thousand probability, jumping downwards.

What he forcibly observed within his field of vision were hundreds of probability events.

The cumulative effect of these events, along with the "probabilities" that Li Hua had lowered, became the "material."

This is another effect of [God Does Not Roll Dice].

Li Hua can adjust the probabilities of all probabilistic events in units of "0.1%".

The accumulated "0.1%" can be added to a specific event.

At this moment, Li Hua has chosen an event that originally had an almost zero probability.

Right now...

"The possibility that 'Gambler' Li Hua might forcibly activate his 'Heart Domain' at this moment."

The convergence of hundreds of "0.1%" cases rewrote the probability of this event.

It turned out to be completely impossible, and then...

It is possible to achieve this!
