Chapter 832: Inverted World_1
Bi Ji looked at the box on the ground, which now did not display any scene within. It was empty, bereft of white fog, resembling a completely ordinary box.
Gu Yuena also glanced down, and with curiosity asked the last question, "Since it's called 'The Douluo Inside the Box,' does that mean only scenes from Soul Land can emerge? Is it impossible for places outside of Soul Land to appear?"
Lin Yi shook his head, "No, the reward level isn't enough. With Gold-tier advanced, one can choose any plane of existence at will, but it's not possible to switch planes at whim. To arbitrarily switch the plane inside the box might require an even higher reward level."
Gu Yuena nodded in understanding, and she asked Bi Ji to put away the box. Although she very much wanted to monopolize this reward, unfortunately, she was unable to use it.
The two women in the stands began their second attack. The green-gold Jade Light once again enveloped the surroundings. With increased power, Bi Ji obviously lost control over the range of coverage. Previously, her Jade Light covered the entire stand; now, the moment she released it without much thought, it covered the whole Soul City, something Bi Ji herself had yet to realize.
However, the Jade Light was not a skill that posed any threat and to ordinary people seemed indistinguishable from Holy Light. Merely being within it could relieve fatigue and restore vigor, which for most was beneficial. The Jade Light had a particularly notable effect on the injured; those on the brink of death and gasping for breath could quickly experience what was called a medical miracle under its radiance.
This was the enhancement that Bi Ji gained from her gains.
"It must be very comfortable to sleep in this light..."
Gu Yuena said somewhat sentimentally, her slender fingers tracing in front of her chest. White ice elements, red fire elements, cyan wind elements, and silver metallic elements sequentially took shape. She threw the slightly temperature-altered Elemental Mixture at Lin Yi, where high and low temperatures successively acted in the air, and the floating elemental particles released their might, each like a miniature bomb.
However, Bi Ji, who was in the midst of the Jade Light, wasn't concerned about the invasion of elemental particles. Even as the elemental particles outside underwent a terrifying reaction, Gu Yuena realized for the first time that Bi Ji now possessed significant defensive capabilities.
The attack ended, and Lin Yi looked at the panel.
[Blood Loss: 894637]
[Remaining Health: 883029164765]
[Damage Grade: Gold (Intermediate)]
[Random Reward: Invert the World (excluding Life and Death)]
[Host Reward: Invert the World (No Critical Hit)]
The panel displayed a reward that Lin Yi was certain had never appeared before.
Unable to guess what it meant, he could only open the description to see.
The content introduced left Lin Yi somewhat puzzled upon reading; in blunt terms, it was a reward with straightforward rules but seemed to hold an element of ambiguity. Essentially, Lin Yi's initial reading gave him such an impression; he thought that with Bi Ji's intelligence, it might again prove to be a reward that was not easily exploited.
Lin Yi said to Bi Ji, "The damage is 894637, and your Gold Intermediate reward is Invert the World."
"First, let me explain the scope of this reward; it includes all objects existing in the world, regardless of whether they are living beings or nonliving things, regardless of the opponent's strength or how extensive their size or area is; you can control them as long as the method of control falls within the permitted rules."
After hearing this, Gu Yuena was quite astonished—wasn't that scope a bit too vast?
The range of control including everything in the world, regardless of the level of the opponent's strength, probably meant that the only scenario where it couldn't be utilized was on Lin Yi himself.
Lin Yi continued, "The reward is called Invert the World, which means you can freely invert the operation trajectory of an item, as long as there is a space in its current state for such inversion."
While introducing it, Lin Yi merged the reward first.
He planned to use the reward while explaining it, after all, the reward was quite abstract at the end of the day.
At that moment, he pointed at Bi Ji and said, "Stand on your head."
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Bi Ji indeed stood on her head right where she was, with her long green skirt falling down due to gravity and covering her upper body, thankfully she was wearing pants under her skirt.
Gu Yuena frowned, "Words followed by the law?"
Lin Yi shook his head, "No, Bi Ji was originally standing, so standing on her head is her inverted state. Therefore, after integrating this reward, I can command the opponent to become the inverted state of their current state. For example, although Bi Ji is now standing on her head, she is still facing me."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yi moved his fingers, and Bi Ji, whose head was suspended above the ground, suddenly turned around, now showing her back to Lin Yi.
"Facing me is her state, her inverted state is with her back toward me, so I can command her to turn her back to me."
After saying that, Lin Yi looked at Gu Yuena, "Walk forward."
Gu Yuena hesitated but did as told, stepping forward. Suddenly, she found herself walking backward!
Moreover, her steps obediently moved backward, she was actively walking backward, not just her body moving backward!
"I... I'm walking backward, did you do this?"
Lin Yi, "The inverted state of moving forward is moving backward."
Lin Yi stopped casting the spell, and Gu Yuena's backward walk halted. She seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly asked, "Then is the inverted state of life death? Can you make every living person die on the spot?"
The moment these words were uttered, everyone felt a chill, their eyes wide with shock.
Lin Yi shook his head, that was precisely the content within the parentheses of the reward.
"The Inverted World reward allows control over inverted states but specifically doesn't include life and death. It also prohibits directly adding 'not' in front of a state to make it an inverted state, like if a person is breathing, you can't say 'not breathing' is their inverted state. That would be exploiting a loophole, and it is not allowed."
It's like antonyms in elementary Chinese language, the antonym of kindness is evil, not 'un-kindness'. If you wrote 'un-kindness', you'd be waiting for the teacher to reward you with a cherished slap in the face.
Lin Yi, "As I said, this reward can control people, but it can also control everything in the world."
Having said that, he pointed at the distant white wall and said, "Black."
In that instant, the distant white wall suddenly turned black.
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Lin Yi then pointed at the distant hazy mountain and said, "Stand on your head."
The unbelievable happened, the whole mountain uprooted itself, after which the peak plunged into the ground, presenting a bizarre inverted pyramid stance.
