[Novice Gift Pack · Ultimate Custom Martial Soul:]

[2. "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core," God King Level Martial Soul.]

[Martial Soul Details: "Divine Core" is a fourth-dimensional technological creation capable of temporarily granting three-dimensional lifeforms the authority to ascend into fourth-dimensional lifeforms.]

[The specific functions of the "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core" must be comprehended by the host.]

???

Qin Moyu fell silent on the spot, his eyelids twitching slightly.

Wasn't this beyond perfunctory? It was not even trying to hide it.

Perhaps Qin Moyu should have realized it the moment he first saw "Equivalent Exchange Technology"...

Even before transmigrating, Qin Moyu had loved reading novels. Back then, he had been fairly young and often argued with people online in the comment sections until his face turned red.

A single line—"If you're so capable, write one yourself"—had enraged him enough to make him scribble something out, leading him to create the technological concept of the "Divine Core."

The so-called "Divine Core" was a technological creation developed to transcend the constraints of the three-dimensional universe and rival the Fourth Dimension.

Its sole purpose was to shatter dimensional barriers, allowing lifeforms in lower dimensions to touch the fundamental rules of the Fourth-Dimensional Universe.

The Herrscher of Reason originated from the setting of Honkai. Honkai was a cyclical disaster phenomenon, a trial of civilization imposed by the Honkai God. The more advanced the technology, the more prosperous the population, and the higher the overall level of civilization, the more terrifying the Honkai disasters that descended would become.

The "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core" was a conceptual entity he had fused together back then.

According to the setting, not long after the Divine Core was developed, future New Human scientists successfully deciphered the authority of the Fourth Dimension: "understanding." They then infused that authority into the Divine Core, ultimately creating this technological creation.

Once someone successfully fused with the Herrscher of Reason Divine Core, an ordinary person would immediately transform into a fully realized Herrscher of Reason, gaining the heaven-defying abilities to analyze all things, reconstruct all things, and alter the laws of physics!

The Herrscher of Reason's power was obvious to all.

It could be said that this Herrscher of Reason Divine Core was the harshest father and the most unsolvable judge of every technological civilization!

Whenever a technological civilization was born, developed, and progressed, unless it could completely kill the Herrscher of Reason the instant he awakened, it would be destined to remain incapable of resisting the authority of reason.

To this day, not a single technological civilization had been able to defeat a fully developed Herrscher of Reason who held the truth of all things in his grasp!

With that, the options for the ultimate custom Martial Soul had all been revealed.

One was the path of the Dragon God deity: the ultimate physical body, invincible combat power, and the burden of tens of thousands of years of karma.

The other was the technological path of the "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core," which analyzed all things, held truth in its grasp, and stood above every law through dimensional technology.

The Dragon God's strength was obvious to all.

Moreover, this was the Soul Land I Era. Soul Guidance Technology in this era was primitive and backward; even a basic technological system had yet to take shape, making it fundamentally unfavorable for the growth of the Herrscher of Reason.

If this had been Soul Land II, the era of The Unrivaled Tang Clan, the Herrscher of Reason Divine Core would have advanced by leaps and bounds, crushing the Martial Soul system.

Yet after only a brief moment of thought, Qin Moyu already had his answer.

"System, I choose the Herrscher of Reason Divine Core!"

Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to Divine Core technology!

The birth of Divine Core technology began with a group of mad scientists. They shattered the cognitive barriers of the three-dimensional universe and, by sheer luck, glimpsed the mysteries of the Fourth Dimension.

Using frail human flesh as a vessel, they ultimately created an artificial Honkai God capable of spanning timelines, fixing the laws of causality, and possessing the ability of One Proof, Eternal Proof!

As for whether the Honkai God or the Dragon God was stronger?

This was simply a contest between a stat monster and a mechanic monster.

One was a Dragon God with no upper limit to his growth. The other was a Honkai God with limitless potential through the development of technological civilization. Which was superior was obvious at a glance!

And most importantly, Qin Moyu was incomparably familiar with the concept of the Herrscher of Reason Divine Core.

The Herrscher of Reason Divine Core originated from the authority of "understanding" within the Fourth Dimension, the Dark Plane Dimension. Its power came from Dark Matter, rather than Honkai energy, which possessed immense corrosive power and an inherent disaster attribute.

That meant that even if he awakened the power of the Herrscher of Reason, he would not trigger the descent of Honkai!

Without Honkai energy backlash or catastrophic Honkai disasters, the Herrscher of Reason Divine Core retained only the Herrscher of Reason's unique authority of "understanding."

Qin Moyu's sights had never been limited to this small corner called Soul Land. His goal was to span the myriad heavens; a single Douluo Continent could not contain his ambition.

Since that was the case, there was no need to consider the Dragon God Martial Soul, trapping himself within the system of the Douluo God Realm and becoming a local tyrant limited to one region in a universe built on three extra spoonfuls of sugar.

Rather than throw his weight around as a local bully, he would choose the Herrscher of Reason, seize the great path of technology, and carve out an entirely new road for himself!

With his mind made up, the ultimate Martial Soul awakening began at once.

A gentle power surged forth from within Qin Moyu, rushing through his meridians toward his limbs and every part of his body.

Every cell in his body gave off soft, delighted sounds, as though a body sealed away for more than a decade had finally broken free from the shackles of its genes!

Qin Moyu slowly spread open his palm, and a spherical technological creation with a precise structure and brilliant radiance quietly appeared...

"Buzz—"

An ethereal tremor that seemed to pierce the soul rang out beside his ear.

[Anchoring the Fourth Dimension. Dark Plane Dimension coordinates locked!]

[Genetic chain matching. Soul anchor locked!]

[New universe detected. Prototype Herrscher of Understanding Divine Core, eternal binding successful!]

As the voice fell, Qin Moyu's eyes abruptly changed.

His originally ink-black pupils were entirely covered in silver-white patterns. Intricate gear motifs emerged, like an industrial machine that would never cease operating, carrying an icy divinity capable of analyzing all things and seeing through their essence!

"The Herrscher of Understanding's core. All systems functioning normally!"

"I grant you wisdom, comprehension of the principles of all things, omniscience and omnipotence—the King of Truth!"

"Herrscher of Understanding! The one challenging you bears the name of truth!"

The ethereal, sacred mechanical whispers echoed without end. The youth's figure then vanished from the three-dimensional universe, crossing the dimensional barrier in an instant and stepping into an endless expanse of black void...

"Dark Plane authority connection complete! Dimensional transition complete!"

"Please accept our highest regards, Your Excellency, the first First Herrscher born in this universe—the Herrscher of Understanding!"

Qin Moyu kept his eyes tightly shut as a gentle, ethereal voice sounded beside his ears. This was the intelligent assistant of the Herrscher of Reason Divine Core.

"Welcome to the Dark Plane, Your Excellency Herrscher of Understanding. How may I be of service?"

Qin Moyu then slowly opened his eyes.

This was the first time he had personally seen the Fourth Dimension that existed both in the setting of his novel and in scientific definition!

The magnificent sight before him completely overturned the understanding he had built over the years.

It was a breathtaking scene that defied all his attempts to describe it—a pitch-black realm of dazzling colors?

A contradictory and bizarre description...

With Qin Moyu's limited understanding, if he had to describe it, he could only do so in such an abstract manner.

The Dark Plane universe was black and boundless. There was no brilliant starlight here, much less a vast sea of stars. All around him were endless clusters of Dark Matter, pure to the extreme.

The real three-dimensional world was likewise filled with Dark Matter, but it could not be observed, and the scientific community had yet to discover its exact form of existence...

But here, Dark Matter flowed clearly. It was the sole origin that formed the Dark Plane universe—vast, mysterious, and so desolate in its beauty that it was suffocating.

The Dark Plane was merely the tip of the iceberg of the Fourth Dimension. The two shared a clear relationship of inclusion; it was a derivative part of the Fourth-Dimensional Universe, one of the most basic sights within the higher-dimensional universe.

What did it mean to be the tip of the iceberg?

An iceberg appeared majestic and magnificent because only one-eighth of it floated above the sea.

The small tip of the iceberg above the water was bathed in sunlight, while the iceberg's main body beneath the surface remained cold and dark all year round.

The Dark Plane before him was that small icy tip of the Fourth-Dimensional Universe rising above the water. The truly complete world of the Fourth Dimension was far beyond what he could glimpse at his current level...

Carrying that shock in his heart, Qin Moyu subconsciously raised his hand and touched the slowly flowing stream of Dark Matter before him.

There was no sensation of a solid collision, only a deathly chill that seeped through his senses and burrowed into his flesh...
