Chapter 217: Chapter 217
As he checked, Jiang Ye was once again stunned.
He had been a little curious—
Now that his appearance had changed from Administrator Luo Qi (1010) to his real self, Jiang Ye...
What name would the data panel display? “Luo Qi” or “Jiang Ye”?
The data panel no longer showed any name at all!
Instead, like with the Observer clone before, the panel now read:
【Special Status: Wordless】
【Physical Strength: 322】
【Combat Power: 20985】
【Survival Points: 62】
【Talents: Light Element Affinity (SS), Super Stamina (S), True Sight Eye (S), Dark Element Affinity (S), Fire Element Affinity (A)】
【Skills: Holy Light Judgment (S), Sacred Purification (S), Light and Shadow Escape (S), Savage Force (S), Titan’s Grip (S), Gate of the Underworld (S), Soul-Binding Puppet (S), Shadowfang Devour (S), War Stomp (A), Abyssal Condensation (A), Shadow Shroud (A), Shadow Pulse (A), Shadow Clone (A) >> Click to expand more】
【Mystic Arts: Concept Erasure (SS), Concept Substitution (SS), Truth Reversal (S)】
【Glyph Patterns: Gluttonous Body (Tier 4), Flesh Weaving (Tier 1)】
Right now, the Administrator clone had fused with the Light-type clone, Super Stamina clone, and True Sight Eye clone.
That was why this clone’s combat power had broken past 20,000!
At the same time, both the talent and skill sections were insanely stacked.
But Jiang Ye didn’t pay particular attention to those.
What truly caught his eye on the panel came down to three things—
First, the whole panel resembled that of the Observer clone!
There was no longer a personal name like “Luo Qi” or “Jiang Ye.”
The first line began directly with the title: 【Reincarnator】
If Jiang Ye’s previous speculation was right—
The Observer was a kind of authority-based identity.
Then this title of 【Reincarnator】...
Should also represent a type of authority-based identity.
And the disappearance of the 【4444 Administrator】 identity...
Could that mean the Reincarnator is an evolved version of the 4444 Administrator?
Then his past theories about the uniqueness of the 4444 Administrator role were all true!
That seemingly ordinary Administrator title was, in fact, hiding deep secrets!
That term carried some serious weight.
From Wu Ying’s memories, Jiang Ye knew—
The Rookie Apartments would go through cycles of destruction and rebirth.
Apartment 4444 would also be destroyed and reborn accordingly.
But the hidden graveyard of 4444—the Reincarnation Graveyard—
It wouldn’t be destroyed with the Apartment.
It would reincarnate, moving from the destroyed 4444 to the newly born one,
Just like the Reincarnation Trickster.
Does “Reincarnator” refer to the graveyard’s reincarnation?
Or does it hint at something even greater—
A reincarnation cycle involving the entire Doomsday Apartment system?
According to the Wandering Merchant—
The key to reincarnation might lie in the Reincarnation Key, as it links destruction and rebirth.
But… what if the Merchant misunderstood?
What if the true key to reincarnation isn’t the Reincarnation Key,
But this special authority identity—Reincarnator?
Either way, the Reincarnator identity was clearly anything but simple!
And this shift from 【4444 Administrator】 to 【Reincarnator】—
Wasn’t just a promotion like going from Newcomer King to Administrator,
Or Administrator to Apartment Owner.
No—this was more like… identity evolution.
Jiang Ye thought the difference was this—
When an Administrator is promoted to Apartment Owner,
Their old Administrator role becomes vacant.
Someone else can take that spot.
But when a 【4444 Administrator】 evolves into a 【Reincarnator】—
The Administrator identity doesn’t become vacant.
In other words, Jiang Ye’s identity was both Reincarnator and 4444 Administrator.
The Reincarnator identity included everything from the 4444 Administrator.
That was how Jiang Ye interpreted it.
He also had a theory in mind—
Apartment 4444 was a special Apartment,
So its Administrator identity was unique as well.
If that’s the case, then maybe other special Apartments also had unique identities.
Could it be that Administrators of those special Apartments
Also experienced this kind of “evolution”?
Take the 0000 Administrator, for example.
Among all the others, he clearly stood out.
Maybe his 0000 Administrator identity had also gone through some form of evolution?
Whatever the case—Jiang Ye had made up his mind.
He would eventually grasp every Administrator identity under his control.
Aside from the identity change to Reincarnator,
Two other lines on the data panel drew his attention:
【Special Status: Wordless】
【Mystic Arts: Concept Erasure (SS), Concept Substitution (SS), Truth Reversal (S)】 Content orıginally comes from novel-fire.ɴet
These were similar to the Observer clone.
First, the Wordless status, described as:
“Silence is existence, speech is a shackle.”
“Your existence is silent and formless, undefinable, indescribable, immune to cause and effect.”
He hadn’t yet fully grasped the effects of this state—
But one thing he knew for sure: he really couldn’t make a sound anymore.
Could the “immune to cause and effect” effect mean he was now unaffected by Chen Cang’s Protagonist Halo?
Maybe he could try testing it later with the Corpse Whisper Bone Charm?
As for the Mystic Arts, Jiang Ye had previously assumed they were simply high-tier abilities based on talents—something like advanced skills.
Mystic Arts might actually be exclusive to special authority identities?
And the three mystic arts he now possessed were much easier to understand compared to those of the Observer clone.
Concept Erasure (SS):
Effect: You may designate a single “character,” “word,” or even a “phrase” to temporarily nullify it from reality.
If erasing a character: "Fire"
All fire-related concepts within range disappear. (Fire-element talents and skills vanish; fire itself ceases to exist)
If erasing a word: "Death"
All concepts related to death vanish within the area. (An Undying Domain forms where no one can die)
If erasing a phrase: "Darkness fears light"
That unspoken rule is nullified within range. (Dark-type beings no longer fear light)
Mystic Art Range: Depends on the user’s “conceptual comprehension.” (Minimum radius: 10 meters; maximum: a full apartment complex)
Duration: 10 seconds to 24 hours (The more fundamental the concept, the longer it lasts)
Note: Effectiveness is not determined by attributes, only by “conceptual comprehension.”
Even though that’s a long description,
It’s actually not that hard to understand.
And the other SS-ranked mystic art, Concept Substitution, is pretty similar to Concept Erasure—
Just that instead of erasing, it replaces.
For instance, in Erasure, you’d erase “fire.”
In Substitution, you could replace “fire” with “water.”
Then there’s Truth Reversal,
Which lets you invert a certain concept entirely.
All three of these mystic arts were honestly god-tier.
Used to their fullest potential, Jiang Ye could literally rewrite the rules of reality!
But here came the very practical problem—
They were powerful… but temporarily useless!
Because these mystic arts weren’t based on his attributes.
No matter how high his Physical Strength or Energy got, it wouldn’t help him use them.
To truly harness these mystic arts in combat—or to rewrite the rules—
What he needed was so-called Conceptual Comprehension.
Jiang Ye still wasn’t sure what that really meant.
But from what he could guess, it probably meant—
For example, if he wanted to erase the concept of “fire,”
He’d need to fully, absolutely believe that fire didn’t exist in the world.
And then use his “conceptual comprehension” to project that belief into the surroundings.
Achieving that... wasn’t going to be easy.
Still—there was hope for the future.
The potential of mystic arts was far beyond that of ordinary skills.
After all, mystic arts could even overwrite talents and abilities themselves!
As Jiang Ye tested his mystic arts,
He was also mulling over everything that had happened since entering the tombstone.
It was only by borrowing his Light-type clone
That he had been able to get close to the massive cross-shaped tombstone.
And only by using Light and Shadow Escape had he been able to enter the tombstone’s inner space.
But here's the problem—
What about the previous 4444 Administrator?
There was no way he had light-type abilities.
So how had he entered the tombstone’s inner space?
Or maybe... he never did.
Maybe he never bound the Wordless Tombstone,
Never evolved his identity into Reincarnator.
Maybe he simply used the tombstone by some other means?
Could it be that triggering the Reincarnator identity required both Light and Darkness within the same body?
Actually, it might be even more complicated than that.
Not long after, Jiang Ye undid the fusion between himself and the Wordless Tombstone.
His data panel identity reverted back to the usual 【4444 Administrator】.
Which meant—the Reincarnator identity only triggered when the tombstone was fused with him.
And even then, it might not be the full version.
According to Lin Ling, there were a total of twelve tombstones.
Maybe only after fusing with all twelve could he become the true Reincarnator.
Even if some past 4444 Administrator really had achieved Light and Darkness in one body,
And even managed to use Light and Shadow Escape to enter this space and bind the Wordless Tombstone…
Without Clone Merge, how could they fuse the tombstone with themselves?
Without the fusion effect, even binding the tombstone wouldn’t change their identity.
Could there be some other method to fuse a tombstone?
And even if there was—
There was still another problem.
How would the 4444 Administrator, once inside the tombstone’s internal space, get back out?
Jiang Ye had entered via Light and Shadow Escape.
But once inside, he couldn’t use that ability anymore.
For a regular player, escaping would be a real issue.
But for Jiang Ye, he had a way out—
A single Clone Swap, and he was free.
But what if he didn’t have Clone Swap?
Whether it was the rare fusion of Light and Darkness,
Or the two unique clone abilities—Clone Merge and Clone Swap—
It all felt a little too perfect.
Without those, his experience exploring the tombstone would’ve been much harder.
So this feeling of everything being “just right”—
Was it a design laid out specifically for him?
Maybe even without those skills, there were other ways to solve these challenges.
But Jiang Ye couldn’t say for sure.
After a bit of thinking, his gaze fell once more on the Wordless Tombstone.
