Chapter 998: Chapter 361 One day, I will change the world

"Wayne, do you want to bring the people of the Inverted World back to the Outer World?"

"Is it possible?"

Three faces turned simultaneously towards Dreyne, waiting for her response.

The Moonlight Knight of the Outer World, who could not be duplicated by Mirror Space and moved freely between worlds, whatever Dreyne was about to say would determine the fate of William and Philomena.

"It’s impossible!"

Dreyne shook her head and pointed upwards, saying, "The Inverted World is a Mirror Space, which the Magic Realm incorrectly calls the reverse world of the Outer World."

"Mirror Space has already clarified everything; the world in the mirror is illusory, unreal. Even if the life from the Inverted World is projected into the Mortal World, it can only exist within the Projection Space."

"The real Inverted World is a stabilizer for the Outer World. It extracts negative information so that the people living in the Outer World are not affected by the chaos of the Void. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

William and Philomena felt devastated, slumping lifelessly on their chairs, their defeated look made Wayne very sad as he bitterly said, "Isn’t there even a bit of possibility? There’s a saying in the Inverted World that achieving demigod status might transcend."

"An escape from reality."

Dreyne first categorized the saying, then continued, "You must see for yourself, the eyes of everyone here are red. The Godchosen Artifact can ensure their sanity but cannot sever their connection with the Inverted World, much less make them real."

Seeing that the three of them remained silent, Dreyne shook her head, "I know this is cruel, but that’s the reality; I don’t want to make up a beautiful lie. Without the Outer World, there would be no Inverted World, either. If the mirror above us shatters, the Inverted World will also disappear."

And this world had already collapsed and reformed many times.

William and Philomena hadn’t taken in any of these words; Wayne paused for a moment, then asked, "How did the Inverted World come about? Did the Goddess and Heavenly Father jointly forge the mirror to protect their own faith in the Outer World?"

"I’m not sure about that," Dreyne replied. "The Inverted World appeared a long time ago, presumably as a self-protective mechanism of the world. The Void is too dangerous; the Outer World needs a mirror to stabilize itself."

Dreyne looked apologetically at William and Philomena, then said to Wayne, "I know what you want to do; seeing familiar faces, you wish to change the tragedy that’s befallen them. I’ve tried it too, but the next time I came back, the newly formed Inverted World was just as lifeless. Not even a God-chosen Knight can change a world, and perhaps not even the gods themselves."

She used the term ’perhaps’ as a gentle way of saying what wasn’t possible, respecting her own faith by phrasing it so.

The topic was too heavy, effectively serving as a death sentence for William and Philomena who remained silent, leaving Wayne at a loss for how to comfort them.

He belonged to the Outer World and could leave with Dreyne; anything he said at that moment would seem inappropriate.

He simply continued, "Dreyne, have you been to the Inverted World many times?"

"Mhm, tasks given by the Goddess."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"It was supposed to be confidential, but since you’ve reached the Inverted World and seen the situation here, I might as well tell you, just don’t spread the word, or it’ll be difficult for me."

Dreyne said, "The Inverted World sustains the White Night Purity Words..."

As she spoke, she suddenly realized something, guessing that Wayne was responsible for the acquisition of the White Night Purity Words that day, and she looked at him approvingly.

Good lad, I’ve seen your devotion to the Moonlight, you’re worthy of being the successor.

Dreyne did not expand on that topic, fearing that upon probing, Wayne might reveal the Elemental Mantra and Dawn Admonition, considering him also chosen by the three gods in the Inverted World.

The thought was unbearable to her eyes.

She continued, "The White Night Purity Words differ between the two worlds; those in the Inverted World won’t disappear even if the world is destroyed. This might be the origin of the rumor because, with this anchor point, I, as the Moonlight Knight, can enter the Inverted World."

"Mula and Leo have undertaken the same mission, entering the Inverted World to collect negative information."

"Why collect negative information?"

"I don’t know; I shouldn’t ask."

Dreyne paused for a moment, "Collecting negative information can delay the collapse of the Inverted World, reducing the number of times the Inverted World needs restarting. It might be the Goddess’s mercy or even a measure to protect the Outer World."

"Where does the negative information you collect go?"

"It’s taken by the Divine Envoy back to the Divine Nation; it probably returns to the Void..."

Dreyne knew not much more; she was just a knight, completing tasks assigned by the Moonlight Goddess, and questions beyond her capabilities were fruitless.

Rather than troubling herself, she preferred to remain unaware.

"Dreyne, can you remove all the negative information from the Inverted World?"

"Absolutely not," Dreyne motioned behind her towards the Bottomless Abyss, "the negative information is endless; I can only collect some." When the negative information filled up, her mission would be considered complete.

Wayne looked intently towards the Abyss, sensing through his mind that the entire Abyss was a container shaped like a Treasure Vase, meant to hold negative information. It was a one-way process; even The Book of Greed, eagerly watching from outside the vase, had to learn to sneak in like a mouse entering a rice barn, with Wayne going directly into the vessel.

"Even a God-chosen Knight can only collect some of the negative information; the majority still remains in the Inverted World..."

Wayne, puzzled, said, "Here comes the question, after the collapse of the Inverted World, where does all this negative information go, back to the Void?"

"It disappears."
