677, Master of Rules, please act according to the rules_1

"Waking up only to the result of emotion but not remembering the cause of that emotion?"

Chen Xin repeated Lin Yi's words while touching the tears on his face. He now had a bit of a stuffy nose, which always happened after crying, along with a slight feeling of weakness. These signs seemed to prove that he had just cried in front of everyone.

Has the reward already taken effect on me?

Chen Xin felt utterly baffled. If it was really as Lin Yi had said, it was indeed miraculous. Had he been unconscious this whole time, totally at the mercy of others?

The thought sent shivers down Chen Xin's spine. Indeed, one should never underestimate the practicality of these rewards, no matter how impossible they seemed.

The Snow Emperor returned to the stage and bowed to Lin Yi, "Thank you, Senior, it seems this reward does indeed have very good effects. I am ready to begin my second attack today."

Lin Yi nodded in silence.

As the Snow Emperor exhaled a breath of white air, the low-temperature domain was once again deployed. What was once a calm stand started being filled with large snowflakes, and the wind formed a ring that ravaged the stand like a knife, bone-chillingly cold.

A life-sized puppet, formed from the wind and snow and similar in appearance to the Snow Emperor, stood by her side as the ice shards dispersed.

In the last attack, they both employed the Snow Emperor's Triple Extremes' Imperial Sword. However, the most damaging of the Snow Emperor's Triple Extremes was actually the Emperor Palm. Had Emperor Cold Heaven only been a domain skill, the Imperial Sword would have counted for little.

This time, the puppet obeyed the Snow Emperor's command and raised its right hand to release the Emperor Cold Sky Domain.

A pure white glow enveloped the stands, as a thick layer of ice made a "crack" sound, spreading across the platform and sparing not even the corners. The puppet controlled the intense Emperor Cold Sky Domain, which would normally extend as far as the eye could see, to the confines of just a few dozen square meters of stand. Had it not possessed the same proficiency in skill as the Snow Emperor, it would have been impossible to manage such a potent domain ability.

This time, the Snow Emperor herself would use the Emperor Palm from the Snow Emperor's Triple Extremes, her first time using it during an attack.

She stood still, closing her eyes, regulating her breathing.

The howling wind and snow seemed to quiet down at that moment, and the falling snow slowed its pace.

The Snow Emperor immersed herself in her own world, her right hand raising slowly, emitting a faint blue glow.

As she lifted her hand, all the surrounding wind and snow, as if drawn to it, spiraled towards the Snow Emperor's palm.

The Snow Emperor's long hair danced, and the dense wind and snow spun violently in front of her like a small storm. The next moment, her eyes opened, and she pushed her pale blue palm forward. A dark blue beam of light, wrapped in white snowflakes, surged forward. All the Cold Sky Heptagon Snowflakes in its path burst into powder with a grand, exaggerated, and terrifying majesty.

"Boom!"

Lin Yi's body took the blow, quickly developing a thin layer of ice on the surface. But in the next second, that ice melted away as if it had never been there.

The icy blue light in the Snow Emperor's eyes gradually returned to normal.

In all the cases where she had used the Emperor Palm, the lightest outcome for those attacked was their bodies shattering. But now, it was the first time the Emperor Palm had failed to affect someone.

The Emperor Palm met its Waterloo, expectedly but also reasonably, leaving the Snow Emperor deeply moved.

It was good that she was already familiar with Lin Yi; otherwise, she couldn't imagine the challenge her psychological endurance would face, especially since this could be considered her strongest skill.

She couldn't let her guard down now; the damage from this attack could very well have reached the seven-hundred-thousand mark.

The Snow Emperor looked at the puppet beside her and conveyed an order.

The puppet immediately repeated the same action as the Snow Emperor had just done.

Lifting its palm, it then blasted out.

Golden light surged on Lin Yi's body, breaking through the wind and snow and quickly reaching the Snow Emperor. Luckily, the puppet's timely palm shattered the Damage Rebound.

Snow Emperor looked aside with some lingering fear and noticed the puppet of equal strength was indeed comforting.

She gave another command, and the puppet dissolved into wind and snow on the stage.

At this moment, Lin Yi turned to look at the panel.

[Blood loss: 746354]

[Remaining health: 883035563954]

[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]

[Random Reward: Master of Rules]

[Host Reward: Master of Rules (Limited Restrictions)]

Lin Yi glanced at the reward name and then immediately opened the annotations to check it out.

Master of Rules, it sounded like a particularly prestigious reward.

Moments later, Lin Yi closed the annotation panel, and just as he was about to introduce the reward to Snow Emperor, he suddenly remembered something else.

"Today is almost over; don't forget to write in your diary."

Snow Emperor suddenly covered her mouth, realizing that she would have indeed forgotten about it if Lin Yi hadn't reminded her.

Writing in her diary yesterday was an agonizing experience for her, as the story it had to tell was very painful.

Fortunately, writing a diary was also a kind of catharsis. After letting out her feelings in the diary, Snow Emperor felt much better. Of course, the most important thing was that no one could peek at what she wrote.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Lin Yi. I'll write today's diary entry once I finish here."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "With a damage of 746,354 at the Golden Junior level, your reward is Master of Rules."

"This reward's ability allows you to create a rule that others must follow, controlling a group of up to ten thousand people. It's a rather strong crowd control ability."

"However, the difference is that this reward is only about setting rules, not about compulsory execution."

Lin Yi's next statement left Snow Emperor somewhat puzzled.

Snow Emperor: "Crowd control ability... Isn't it usually about controlling? If it's not compulsory execution, how can it be called a crowd control ability?"

Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "Life is like a competition, and every competition has its own rules. If you don't follow the rules, you face the outcome of being eliminated."

"So, when you start using the reward, the ten thousand people under your control are like participants in the same competition. They will face only two choices: to act according to your rules or to face elimination."

Snow Emperor's mouth was slightly open as Lin Yi's description made her realize the scope of this Gold Rank reward.

"Senior Lin Yi, what does elimination entail?"

Lin Yi: "Elimination means being out of the game, and the methods of elimination are diverse. The lightest is a descending punishment, and the harshest... is the loss of the right to live."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed a horrified expression.

Lin Yi: "The method of elimination is randomly generated; what elimination you face for not following the rules depends on personal fate."
