Pink Suspenders!
When it comes to suspenders, one can't but mention that real eel, but why pink?
Lin Yi guessed that his brother must have changed his skin.
He suddenly felt somewhat wistful, being a true fan who couldn't immediately share the joy with his peers.
Having traveled through time for these days, he figured that over ten months must have passed on Blue Planet, which meant the Soul Land anime must have concluded by now.
Lin Yi sighed again. The anime he had followed for four or five years—he actually couldn't witness the grand finale... Of course, he received a privilege no other Douluo fans could yearn for, that was, having traveled through time.
Without further ado, he checked the panel.
[Blood Loss: 387643]
[Remaining Health: 899859816437]
[Damage Grade: Red (Intermediate)]
[Random Reward: The Right to Roam Parallel Space-Time]
[Host Reward: The Right to Roam Parallel Space-Time (No Critical Hit)]
Lin Yi was somewhat surprised by this reward. Roaming parallel space-time? Could an intermediate-level red reward achieve this?
He looked towards the annotation on the panel, guessing there must be some limitations.
After scrutinizing the annotations for a while, Lin Yi's expression went through several changes, making Dai Ben who was waiting beside him somewhat anxious. A moment later, Lin Yi said:
"Damage 387643, red intermediate level, the reward you received is the Right to Roam Parallel Space-Time."
Dai Ben was stunned.
The Right to Roam Parallel Space-Time?!
He had always heard of this term, and the concept of parallel space-time was somewhat hard to comprehend for Dai Ben, and yet it was astonishing.
It was something very new that incited both longing and fear in him.
Because Senior Lin Yi once said that in parallel space-times, there also exists another him.
Dai Ben could hardly imagine what it would be like to interact with another him.
Could it be that this reward created that possibility?
Lin Yi said, "I won't go into detail about the concept of parallel space-times. This reward is actually similar to Emperor Xueye's Time Machine. His Time Machine can go back to the past but cannot influence the past, only to watch as an audience. Likewise, your Right to Roam Parallel Space-Time allows you to visit other parallel space-times, but you cannot influence them, only to watch as an audience."
Dai Ben asked, "So it's also roaming in a spirit form?"
Lin Yi nodded, "That's right."
"Each person has a variety of parallel space-times, and every space-time you roam is randomly selected."
Suddenly confused, Dai Ben asked, "What do you mean, I... I have more than one parallel space-time?"
Lin Yi smiled and said, "What if I tell you, there are currently 1346 parallel space-times related to you, would you believe it?"
"What?! There are so many?!"
"Yes, and the number is still increasing."
Just like a river, in its flow encountering various unexpected events, it can create a tributary at any time, and tributaries can create more tributaries, each new tributary being a new parallel space-time.
Actually, the biggest unstable factor that keeps producing "tributaries" in parallel space-times is the various time travelers...
Lin Yi: "Besides, you can not only roam your own parallel space-times but also explore others' parallel space-times, though you can only roam one person's at a time."
"While roaming, you can accelerate the story's flow, observe a certain character, or your own ending in that parallel space-time, but all you can do is accelerate, you cannot affect their original story progression."
Dai Ben was extremely astonished.
In other words, he could not only see the various different lives he could have led but also the different lives of others.
This was simply...too wonderful!
"Hmm, I've got it,"
Lin Yi flicked the red orb of light in his hand towards him, and after the fusion reward was integrated, Dai Ben's spiritual body momentarily floated above his physical form before settling back down into it.
Then, he heard Lin Yi's voice, "Now, you can navigate your own parallel universes, or rather, you can randomly select someone on the spot and navigate their parallel universes. I will broadcast the real-time scene on-site for your first use of the reward."
My parallel universes... Dai Ben suddenly hesitated. He was, in fact, reluctant to share his life with everyone, especially with so many people present.
He laughed awkwardly, "As for me, let's not. How about we take a look at everyone else's? Is there anyone who wants to see their parallel universes? I can tell you how many you have."
But as soon as he finished speaking, no one responded.
Probably harboring the same thoughts as Dai Ben just now, everyone was reluctant to share their lives, even if it were a life they had never experienced.
Perhaps some unspoken secrets existed in another parallel universe as well?
Lin Yi: "No one's willing? Then we'll have to draw lots."
"What?!"
A series of gasps echoed through the area, and everyone's face involuntarily turned sour.
Was it like being randomly picked by the teacher to check homework at school? Seeing the reactions of the others, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of this.
He watched the panel flashing with names and silently said "stop" in his mind.
The name that appeared on the panel consisted of three characters.
[Bi Bidong]
Oh? This was drawn by the system, not by my intention.
Lin Yi said, "The lot has been drawn for Bi Bidong. Please share one of your lives with us."
"Ah?"
Bi Bidong looked over in extreme surprise, and having received no reply from Lin Yi, she walked towards Dai Ben with a troubled expression.
Dai Ben watched Bi Bidong, his eyes flashing with a momentary glint of gold, then said, somewhat shocked, "Your Holiness' parallel universes number an astonishing 34,368!"
Bi Bidong stood there, stunned.
Everyone looked on, visibly astonished.
Over thirty thousand?!
That's just outrageous, isn't it?!
This is thirty thousand different lives!
And Dai Ben had only slightly over a thousand, which was funny, considering he had thought that he was already on the higher side.
Only Lin Yi's cheeks bore no sign of surprise.
Bi Bidong, as a fiery character in Soul Land, was the focus of many transmigrators, and it was completely understandable for her to have so many parallel universes.
As for Dai Ben, the Star Luo Emperor, he didn't even have a presence in the original story, not even a name, so the little over a thousand parallel universes he had were due to the tricky perspectives of transmigrators.
And Lin Yi alone contributed almost a thousand parallel universes for Dai Ben.
After all, he was the strongest Douluo crossover character, no doubt about that.
As for Bi Bidong, Lin Yi's transmigration added more than twenty thousand branches to her life, meaning that out of Bi Bidong's more than thirty thousand parallel universes, over twenty thousand were contributed by Lin Yi.
His rewards, his power, his impact on Bi Bidong were all much stronger than those of other Douluo crossover characters.
