The next morning, as dawn broke, inside the Rose Hotel of Suotuo City.

Qin Moyu knew full well that Spirit Hall was not a place to linger.

With the boost of the first soul skill of the "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core," "Particle Control," Qin Moyu had gained a rudimentary understanding of the authority of "space" and set teleportation anchors in both Suotuo City and the Papal Palace.

As a simple application of the Dark Plane authority "space," he only needed to expend a small amount of Soul Power to teleport back and forth between the two cities.

After subduing Bibi Dong last night, Qin Moyu had not wasted her loyalty. Without the slightest hesitation, he emptied her private treasury—medicinal solutions to heal hidden injuries, all kinds of rare and precious forging metals...

As for how to deal with those people altered by the "Thought Imprint," Qin Moyu had temporarily arranged for them to maintain their usual personas.

Perhaps once he personally built up his own power in the future, these people would become the fuel feeding his empire's flames...

The mist from the medicinal bath slowly dispersed, leaving even the air in the room feeling refreshed.

The God-bestowed Spirit Ring had placed no small burden on his body. Many tiny blood vessels inside him had ruptured, and even now, they had yet to heal...

Qin Moyu quickly dried himself and changed into clean clothes. His vigor visibly returned.

At that moment, his gaze shifted slightly as he recalled the other two rewards from the Diary System last night.

[Six-Character Battle Armor] [God-grade Mecha]

He had not yet properly examined these two technological creations that had transcended the era of Soul Land I.

Qin Moyu then took out his diary and began recording the new day.

While recording images, he could selectively and quickly record his inner thoughts. It was far more efficient and time-saving than writing a diary by hand...

At the same time, the Diary Copies in the hands of the female protagonists across the myriad planes began updating.

For planes where time flowed more quickly, such as the Douluo God Realm, where one day in the God Realm equaled one year on Douluo Continent, the women viewed it with their divine senses.

A day spent reading the diary through divine sense only amounted to a few minutes passing in the real world for them...

[Third day of writing a diary after transmigrating to Douluo Continent. The sun rose as usual, and I remained invincible as usual!]

[Last night's diary rewards were absolutely top-tier: the "Herrscher of Finality Divine Core," Six-Character Battle Armor, and a God-grade Mecha.]

[Battle armor originated twenty thousand years later, in other words, from the setting of the Soul Land III era. It is a type of super mecha resembling armor, personally forged by Soul Masters and ultimately formed through that process.]

[The enhancement battle armor grants Soul Masters is extremely terrifying. A Battle Armor Master wearing battle armor possesses overall strength at least twenty levels above Soul Masters of the same rank.]

[The most straightforward example is that a five-ring Soul King who is a One-Character Battle Armor Master can, after putting on battle armor, directly contend with a seven-ring Soul Sage.]

[The strength of a Four-Character Battle Armor Master reaches the level of a Limit Douluo. Normally, however, only Soul Masters at the rank of Super Douluo can wear Four-Character Battle Armor.]

[But if one is personally a blacksmith and forges the entire Four-Character Battle Armor themselves, achieving perfect compatibility between their martial soul and Soul Power, they can wear it at the rank of Titled Douluo and unlock the terrifying combat strength of a Limit Douluo.]

[However, such genius Battle Armor Masters are exceedingly rare, and forging Four-Character Battle Armor itself requires the cultivation of a Titled Douluo.]

[That was precisely why Battle Armor Masters held such an esteemed status in the Soul Land III era. Wherever they went, they were elite talents sought after by all major powers.]

[And the reason Shrek Academy of the Soul Land III era could remain among the continent's top powers was because it possessed the largest number of Battle Armor Masters on the entire continent...]

Soul Land I Ning Rongrong: "Battle Armor Masters seem to be an entirely new cultivation system that completely overturns the traditional Soul Master system."

Soul Land I Qian Renxue: "Using external objects to erase a twenty-level cultivation gap outright... this method is simply inconceivable."

Soul Land I Qian Renxue: "If Spirit Hall had mastered this cultivation system in advance, the entire landscape of Douluo Continent would have long since been rewritten."

Soul Land I Huo Wu: "A five-ring Soul King can gain the strength of a seven-ring Soul Sage just by wearing battle armor?! Soul Masters of our era have it way too hard. We can only hunt soul beasts and painstakingly raise our Soul Power."

Soul Land II Xu Jiujiu: "Battle armor feels like an upgraded version of Soul Tools. The concept is very similar to the soul-guided mechas of our era."

Soul Land III Dai Yuner: "Not exactly. The upgraded version of Soul Tools is mechas. Ordinary Soul Tools are ultimately just external equipment, discarded after use."

Soul Land III Dai Yuner: "But battle armor is different. It requires the person and armor to become one, with Soul Power nourishing the battle armor and deeply binding it to the martial soul. This is a brand-new combat system, one that Soul Tools cannot possibly compare to."

Soul Land II Xiao Xiao: "Then our era is still considered fortunate. Even if one's innate martial soul quality is poor, they can still specialize in the Soul Tool department."

Soul Land I Dugu Yan: "I'm so jealous of people in the future. Their treatment is so much better..."

Soul Land III Xu Xiaoyan: "To be honest, in our era, Four-Character Battle Armor is already the limit of the age. I'm very curious—just how terrifying is the combat power of Mo Yu's Six-Character Battle Armor?"

Soul Land III Dai Yuner: "Indeed. Six-Character Battle Armor is completely unknown territory beyond this era's understanding. I'm curious too!"

Soul Land III Wu Siduo: "Curious +1"

Soul Land IV Ye Lingtong: "Curious +1"

Soul Land IV Bai Xiuxiu: "Curious +1"

Soul Land IV Lan Mengqin: "Curious +1..."

The female protagonists of the Douluo Plane voiced their own opinions. The differences between old and new cultivation systems, as well as the cognitive gap spanning ten thousand years, sparked lively discussion.

In particular, the power of the battle armor system, forcibly erasing an entire twenty-level gap in Soul Power and allowing Soul Kings to challenge Soul Sages across ranks!

Such an utterly unreasonable boost in combat power completely overturned the deeply ingrained cultivation knowledge of the women of the Douluo Plane.

Amid their shock and confusion, the girls were filled with curiosity. What kind of exquisite forging principles could battle armor possibly possess to achieve such a thing...

Yet the diary did not answer their expectations. Instead, its tone shifted, delivering a ruthless blow to the old forces of the Douluo Plane that had closed themselves off from the world, the pampered daughters of heaven, and countless support-type Soul Masters who depended on the traditional Soul Master system for survival.

[Honestly, there's one aspect that is... very realistic.]

[During the era of Soul Land II: The Unrivaled Tang Clan, soul-guided technology entered an age of flourishing prosperity. High-level Soul Engineers relied on soul-guided cannons to easily unleash destructive power beyond their own cultivation, and fighting above one's rank had become commonplace.]

[However, the soul-guided technology of The Unrivaled Tang Clan era was still relatively underdeveloped. Only before the rank of seven-ring Soul Sage could Soul Engineers steadily suppress traditional Soul Masters.]

[That was why the Sun Moon Empire, despite possessing top-tier soul-guided technology, had never been able to conquer Douluo Continent. Douluo Continent had a ten-thousand-year inheritance and countless veteran Soul Master powerhouses, especially Limit Douluos, whose numbers far exceeded those of the Sun Moon Continent.]

[The Soul Engineers of the Sun Moon Empire mostly relied on drugs to raise their cultivation, leaving their foundations unstable. They would remain stuck at nine-ring Titled Douluo for life, while even ninth-grade soul-guided cannons found it difficult to kill Limit Douluos.]

[It was precisely because of this insignificant advantage that certain old fossils on Douluo Continent still clung to their outdated ideas, looking down on the soul-guided technology system from the bottom of their hearts and believing that simply developing the traditional Soul Master system would ensure their continued inheritance.]

[But with their limited horizons, they would never understand the great tide of changing eras.]

[One may cultivate Soul Power bitterly for decades without making even the slightest advancement, yet technology advances by leaps and bounds with every passing day. Terrifying machines of steel gather into an unstoppable flood of war, and the tide of the age will ultimately crush every rotten idea from the old era.]

[Those old relics who stubbornly guard the glory of the past and cling to the rubble of outdated traditions will sooner or later be kicked off the stage of history...]
