Meanwhile, the female leads of the Douluo IV Interstellar Federation Era had strange glimmers in their eyes.

Thanks to the Federation's advanced modern education, they had little trouble understanding the modern concepts written in the diary. That only made them better appreciate the value of what Qin Moyu was explaining.

Even in the Douluo IV Interstellar Federation Era, people focused more on improving their strength. Few ever settled down to contemplate philosophical questions like these.

Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Mengqin, and the other female leads clutched their personal Diary Copies, their hearts trembling more deeply the further they read.

Qin Moyu's wildly imaginative ideas were full of the unknown, and the unknown stirred the girls' desire to explore. Curiosity wrapped around their hearts like vines, scratching at them until they could barely stand it.

Qin Moyu... what exactly was the background of this mysterious transmigrator?

What kind of genius was he, and what sort of dazzling, flourishing civilization had the country he came from before transmigrating possessed?

By comparison, the era of Soul Land I, where Spirit Hall was located, was practically a desert of knowledge.

And this was Soul Land, without even getting into subjects like dimensions, physics, and chemistry.

Even a nine-year-old child who could fluently recite the multiplication table would be praised as a genius prodigy on Soul Land, as though the Star of Literature had descended...

At the same time, within Spirit Hall's Papal Palace.

"A transmigrator... In that case, this little fellow is currently somewhere on Soul Land. What if we recruit him into Spirit Hall and confer upon him the position of Elder?"

Bibi Dong gripped the armrest of her throne and murmured in a low voice, her gaze dark.

What she valued was Qin Moyu's innate knowledge!

And since he had been chosen by that strange diary, he surely possessed something extraordinary.

Most of the scientific theories in the diary were obscure and difficult to understand. Even with her breadth of knowledge, Bibi Dong found them hard to fully grasp. Still, she had personally tested that simplest literacy bug: staring at a single character for a long time.

Sure enough, just as the diary described, that character gradually became unfamiliar!

At that moment, Bibi Dong's shock was beyond words. She had personally proven Qin Moyu's theory!

Because of this, the importance Bibi Dong placed on Qin Moyu instantly rose by countless levels!

Not to mention that, from Qin Moyu's words, it was clear that he knew the future course of Soul Land. That alone would be enough to help Spirit Hall develop better in the future...

It had to be said that Bibi Dong was truly love-brained, but when she was not in love, her brain might actually be online... perhaps?

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei."

Her cold, authoritative voice suddenly echoed through the hall, and two figures appeared from the shadows in unison.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan held his signature orchid-finger pose, while Ghost Douluo Gui Mei stood beside him with black mist roiling around his body, his expression solemn.

The two dropped to one knee and awaited the Pope's orders...

"I have a secret mission for you. Search the entire realm for an ordinary person named Qin Moyu..."

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly as she carefully reviewed the details in the diary. Her tone was especially serious. "He... is male."

"And this person is rather unusual. He has no Soul Power, lives in poor conditions, and speaks differently from normal people..."

Based on those scattered clues, Bibi Dong had roughly inferred Qin Moyu's personality and behavior.

Yue Guan, Gui Mei: "???"

Both Yue Guan and Gui Mei froze in place. They exchanged glances, their eyes full of confusion.

"Your Holiness, is that all the information there is?"

Still kneeling on one knee, Yue Guan kept his fingers pinched in the orchid-finger pose as he asked in a somewhat bewildered tone.

How was this any different from looking for an ordinary person?

Soul Land was vast and filled with all kinds of people. Searching for one ordinary person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Who would deliberately pay attention to a commoner with no Soul Power?

"What? Isn't that much information enough?"

Seeing the hesitation and troubled expressions on their faces, Bibi Dong's gaze suddenly turned icy. Her aura quietly leaked out, and the temperature in the hall plummeted. Bone-chilling cold and crushing pressure swept across the entire hall!

"It is enough, Your Holiness!"

Gui Mei's hairs stood on end, cold sweat soaking his back. He hurriedly slapped the dazed Yue Guan, then quickly bowed and said, "Your subordinates accept the order! We will set out at once to search for him!"

The slap jolted Yue Guan awake, and he hurriedly bowed to accept the order as well.

In the blink of an eye, the two Title Douluo tools hurriedly withdrew from the Papal Palace.

The pressure within the Papal Palace gradually faded. Then, the diary floating in midair flashed with silver light, and new writing appeared:

[The first day after crossing over to Soul Land and obtaining the Diary System: treading on thin ice. I just want to live carefully, QAQ~] [Soul Land is ultimately a fantasy world where strength reigns supreme. On this continent, even ordinary people can awaken martial souls, but only those with Innate Soul Power are qualified to embark on the path of a soul master.] [However, as a transmigrator who crossed over in the flesh, I do not belong to this world. Naturally, I did not awaken a martial soul. Not to mention that I am already eighteen and an adult, having missed the golden age for soul master cultivation.] [As an ordinary person without a martial soul, I can only hope the cheat system is more reliable and gives me at least a little beginner's gift pack. It would be best if I could directly become a Title Douluo. That would be enough for the era of Soul Land I.] [With the strength of a Title Douluo, as long as I do not provoke Spirit Hall, Sea God Island, or the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest... I can lie low and develop. That will definitely be enough!]

"No martial soul... that situation is rather rare, isn't it?"

After reading those words, Bibi Dong gave a soft laugh, with no trace of disdain or contempt in her tone.

On the contrary, the matter of his martial soul made her trust Qin Moyu's identity as a transmigrator even more.

Though that trust had already reached ninety percent long ago...

Just then, a timid female voice sounded from the side of the hall.

"Teacher, can we really recruit this transmigrator and make him an Elder of Spirit Hall?"

Hu Liena cautiously glanced at Bibi Dong, whose expression had relaxed. Seeing that her teacher was no longer angry, her body loosened slightly.

As it happened, it was already ten at night, and the world was quiet.

The reason Hu Liena was in the Papal Palace so late was that during the day, Bibi Dong had lightly patted the back of her head twice. Then, pretending to be angry, she had left directly through the hall's rear door.

As clever as Hu Liena was, she immediately understood Bibi Dong's hint.

The two taps on her head that morning had seemed angry, but they had been especially light and could hardly count as punishment.

Furthermore, Bibi Dong was always orderly in her actions and never left through the back door. Such deliberate behavior...

Clearly, she had not been angry at all. She had been hinting that Hu Liena should come around through the back door in the middle of the night. Her teacher Bibi Dong intended to give her private instruction behind closed doors!

And just then, this strange diary had appeared before Hu Liena, while Bibi Dong happened to possess an identical one.

The master and disciple had tested it earlier. Even when they took out the diaries in front of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, or even spoke some of the diary's contents aloud, the two Title Douluo remained completely unaware, as though they could neither hear nor see anything.

At that moment, the two women understood that this was a secret known only to the holders of the diaries.

Bibi Dong glanced sideways at her quick-witted disciple, and a trace of approval flashed through her eyes.

Qin Moyu having no martial soul was a good thing in their eyes!

With no roots, no backing, and no one to rely on, someone as blank as a sheet of paper would be easiest to control.

What people sought in life was nothing more than wealth, companionship, methods, and territory.

As long as Spirit Hall offered money, status, and the promise of protection, they need not worry that this knowledgeable transmigrator would refuse to submit and wholeheartedly assist Spirit Hall.

"We all have a bright future!"

At that thought, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up, and Hu Liena smiled. Both of them began to look forward to it, as though they could already see the future Spirit Hall standing at the pinnacle of Soul Land, flourishing day by day!

However, the diary's next entry instantly made both their expressions collapse...

[I spent quite a while writing this. The first day's entry was already up to here, and I was about to sleep, but the system actually said the word count was insufficient? It told me to write a little more...] [Eh, I have an idea!] [Since I have already crossed over to Soul Land, and I arrived during the era before Tang Buddha started bullying everyone, as a qualified transmigrator, if I do not straighten out Tang San a little, people in the transmigrator community will point fingers at my back in the future.]

Soul Land II Ah Yin: Who did Tang San provoke? Why are you targeting my son for no reason?

Soul Land I Ah Yin: No! Hao! Where are you?! Someone wants to bully our child, sob sob~ (A useless wife, QAQ)

Soul Land I Ning Rongrong: ???

Soul Land I Zhu Zhuqing: Third Brother is such a good person. Why do you want to deal with him?

Soul Land I Tang Yuehua: If he does not target Tang San, the entire transmigrator community will look down on him? What sort of person is this child?

Soul Land II Meng Hongchen: How miserable...

Soul Land I Xiao Wu: ???

Soul Land II Xiao Wu: ...

Soul Land III Xiao Wu: You have invited death upon yourself!

Soul Land I Dugu Yan: Go ahead and deal with him! I will forever support Lord Qin Moyu!
