[Unlike in the era of Soul Land I, Food-Type Soul Masters were scarce, and powerful Food-Type Soul Masters were even rarer...]

[Ever since Soul Tools had flourished, Soul Tools themselves could provide Martial Souls with Soul Power, greatly diminishing the role of Food-Type Soul Masters.]

[Pure support-type Soul Masters could only develop in manufacturing and service industries. As for Soul Master competitions, they could not provide much help.]

[Those who knew, knew. Not even dogs wanted to work in the service industry. Money was hard to earn, and shit was hard to swallow...]

[The genius support-type Soul Master of the Soul Land II era, Ning Tian, could barely contribute to a team through the powerful amplification of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.]

[And Xiao Xiao, a genius Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls, did not follow a purely support-oriented path either. Instead, she forged a path combining support and assault.]

[Not only that, Xiao Xiao could simultaneously activate both Twin Martial Soul forms and use two Martial Soul Avatars at once. This talent far surpassed that of Bibi Dong and Tang San, who had also possessed Twin Martial Souls in the Soul Land I era!]

[With one cry of the Three Lives Cauldron, the phoenix rang out. Petite, delicate, and steadfast—she left a deep impression.]

[The good thing about diary records was that they could directly upload the beautiful scenes from my memories into the diary.]

The next moment, a lifelike portrait was simultaneously sent to every Diary Copy.

In the image, Xiao Xiao had tied up her dark green hair, while her emerald eyes were bright and captivating.

The girl held a long flute in her hand. The cauldron rang and the phoenix cried, while her petite body contained immense power, instantly drawing every girl's attention...

Soul Land I, Shui Yue'er: "Holy shit, sis, your talent was actually this terrifying?"

Soul Land IV, Ye Lingtong: "Twin top-tier tool-type Martial Souls... As expected of a genius from Shrek Academy..."

Soul Land II, Xu Jiujiu: "Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, there has never been a precedent for someone activating two Martial Souls simultaneously..."

Soul Land I, Ye Lingling: "I never expected that Xiao Xiao was not only more absurd than me, but her innate talent was also greater than mine. I'm crying with envy~"

Soul Land III, Dai Yuner: "Historically, Xiao Ding Douluo was indeed exceptionally powerful. A member of the Shrek Seven Monsters, deputy master of the Tang Sect, elder of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion, and the last disciple of Xuan Zi, the vice master of the Sea God Pavilion..."

Soul Land III, Dai Yuner: "Her most widely known achievement was defeating Ji Juechen, the Sun Moon Empire's genius sword cultivator, as a support-type Soul Master."

Soul Land II, Meng Hongchen: "She was that strong? That was Ji Juechen!!!"

Soul Land II, Xiao Xiao: "Hehe~"

[But unfortunately, Xiao Xiao barely had any scenes later on. It was all about the love and hate between the protagonist Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, and Wang Qiu'er.]

[Even this generation's Shrek Seven Monsters looked like a gathering of stars, but in reality, only Huo Yuhao became a god. Everyone else was just an accessory tagging along for the ride.]

[With Tang San stationed in the God Realm, did people from Tang Family Continent still want to become gods? Impossible, okay!]

Soul Land II, Xiao Xiao: "..."

Soul Land II, Wang Dong'er: "???"

Soul Land II, Wang Qiu'er: "???"

[As for other Food-Type Soul Masters, He Caitou's Martial Soul was also genius-level, yet he did not take the support route at all. From beginning to end, he fought with Soul Tool cannons in hand.]

[He personally proved one principle: a Food-Type Soul Master who did not want to fight was not a good Soul Master.]

[Sure enough, the greatest protection a support could provide to the team was killing all the enemies. That way, their teammates would not get hurt.]

[By the era of Soul Land III's Legend of the Dragon King, after the Dou Armor system emerged, support-type Soul Masters had completely declined. And the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which lacked the inheritance of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, did not even retain its name. It had probably vanished from the history books long ago.]

[Not to mention Soul Land IV. In Shrek Academy's storyline, the names of support-type Soul Masters barely appeared at all.]

[Technological advancement was simply that real. If Soul Power was insufficient, absorb a Milk Bottle. If combat strength was lacking, use Soul Tool cannons. Other technologies included Dou Armor, mechas, interstellar warships...]

[Under the crushing force of layer upon layer of technology, traditional support-type Soul Masters had gradually declined for this very reason...]

Soul Land I, Ning Rongrong: "..."

Soul Land II, Ning Tian: "Ancestor... I..."

In the Soul Land II plane, within Shrek Academy.

The words in the diary were clearly reflected in her eyes. Ning Tian's fingers would not stop trembling as she flipped through the pages again and again, repeatedly confirming them...

The naked outcome lay before her eyes: the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had been erased from history. It was so glaring that her entire body turned cold.

As the heir of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian had possessed one of Douluo Continent's finest support Martial Souls from birth. She had been hailed as a genius since childhood and entrusted with the sect's high hopes.

For a long time, she had always believed that she could preserve the final glory of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Yet the diary exposed the truth in a single sentence—

The top-tier support Martial Soul she had taken such pride in had merely managed to avoid being the first eliminated by the times...

The myth of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda forged by her ancestor Ning Rongrong, the foremost support sect that had dominated the continent for a thousand years, had ultimately failed to withstand the changing times and completely vanished without a trace.

The girl's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Bitterness and helplessness weighed down on her so heavily that she could barely breathe.

This was not only the fate of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It was the fate of all support-type Soul Masters...

Once indispensable to a team and the core of the entire group, the support role had gradually lost its irreplaceability with the flourishing of Soul Tool technology, eventually being pushed completely to the margins of the era.

The era of support-type Soul Masters had finally come to an end...

The tide of the times rolled ever onward, never pausing for anyone's obsession or glory. No one could avoid it.

In the quiet dormitory, Ning Tian lowered her eyes. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, carrying a faint hope:

"Qin Moyu, if you were here... would there be a way to change all of this?"

Strictly speaking, Qin Moyu's Martial Soul, the "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core," was also a support-type Martial Soul. It was simply that the one it supported was mostly himself.

How was supporting oneself not being a support-type Soul Master?

The "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core" seemed to possess no offensive methods, but its authority to analyze all things allowed it to wield the myriad laws of the world for its own use, unleashing peerless combat power far beyond the Soul Master system!

At that thought, unwillingness blazed to life in the girl's heart like wildfire.

Ning Tian truly could not accept this future. She looked at the diary, her fingers clenching tightly.

If Qin Moyu came to their era in the future, she also wanted to seize this fleeting opportunity from the future...

Meanwhile, Qin Moyu collected his Six-Character Battle Armor from the Diary System.

Dou Armor was divided into six main parts: a headband, chest armor, shoulder guards, gauntlets, leg guards, and battle boots—the six core components.

As for other derivative components, they depended entirely on the Battle Armor Master's personal preferences and Martial Soul traits.

The Six-Character Battle Armor before Qin Moyu was the same, but when the light faded, he froze slightly.

The Dou Armor before him shimmered with dazzling prismatic light. Sacred dragon patterns coiled across the metal surface, and layer upon layer of dragon-scale armor made it look incomparably majestic.

But... the overall outline of this Six-Character Dou Armor looked seventy-eight percent similar to the Prismatic Divine Dragon Armor from the Soul Land IV era?!

No, bro??

Had the Diary System directly yoinked the Prismatic Divine Dragon Armor from the Soul Land I timeline?
