Tang San, You and I Are Like Old Friends at First Sight

The flow of time in reality ground to a halt; only the consciousness of a select few was able to transcend the shackles of time...

Diary Copy message board.

Douluo Plane Dugu Yan: "??? What happened? Why can't I move?"

Douluo Plane Ning Rongrong: "Actually, it's not that we can't move, it's that time has been paused. It's just that because we have the diary copies, we can clearly see every move Mo Yu is making right now..."

Douluo Plane Xue Ke: "I see... I just heard Mo Yu mention in his diary that he was borrowing the power of the 'Herrscher of Finality Divine Core' and using future power to augment himself..."

Douluo Plane Ye Lingtong: "Holy crap, Sage Mode activated in a second?"

Douluo Plane Xu Tianzhen: "To be honest, I'm a bit confused. I have no idea what's going on."

Douluo Plane Xu Tianzhen: "As far as I can see, aside from the time stop and a centaur appearing out of thin air next to Mo Yu, there doesn't seem to be anything else unusual?"

Douluo Plane Meng Hongchen: "Isn't that unusual enough? Time stop! This ability is a bit exaggerated, isn't it!"

Douluo Plane Meng Hongchen: "Look at the diary screen. Everyone is frozen in place, and only Tang San and Mo Yu are free to move. This must be god-level power, right?!"

Douluo Plane Ye Lingling: "It's worth noting that I can't move here at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy either..."

Douluo Plane Xiao Xiao: "Mo Yu, you're strong!"

Douluo Plane Shui Yue'er: "Mm-mm~ Actually, I can't move either! My first reaction was that I'd stumbled into some time-stop series..."

Douluo Plane Shui Bing'er: "Little sister... you, you should read fewer of those unhealthy books in your spare time."

Douluo Plane Huo Wu: "You're one to talk, you've been sneaking peeks yourself..."

Douluo Plane Qian Renxue: "I've roughly figured it out. Generally speaking, when time is stopped, everyone's consciousness should be frozen."

Douluo Plane Qian Renxue: "But because of the existence of the diary copies, our consciousness can remain active, following Mo Yu's perspective to witness what happens during this time-stop interval..."

Douluo Plane Qian Renxue: "A God King Level Martial Soul, truly terrifying!"

Douluo Plane Ye Guyi: "A God King Level Martial Soul, truly terrifying!"

Douluo Plane Dai Yuner: "+1"

Douluo Plane Lan Mengqin: "No, so you all only see the surface of the time stop. Didn't you notice something truly chilling?"

Douluo Plane Bai Xiuxiu: "What did you discover, Mengqin? Tell us in detail!"

Douluo Plane Lan Mengqin: "The truly terrifying parts are the 'Herrscher of Finality Divine Core' and the 'Future Self' borrowing power!"

Douluo Plane Lan Mengqin: "First point: Mo Yu can borrow the power of his future self. This in itself confirms an ironclad fact: Mo Yu's future is real and absolutely exists!"

Douluo Plane Lan Mengqin: "So... is it because the future already exists, or is it that Mo Yu's actions in the current timeline have anchored the fact that the future must exist?"

Douluo Plane Lan Mengqin: "Secondly, how does the power of the future cross time to be lent to Mo Yu? The power of the fully realized future Mo Yu probably exceeds the limits of our imagination..."

Douluo Plane Bai Xiuxiu: "Damn, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Douluo Plane Dugu Yan: "I see... I thought starting with a time stop was already exaggerated enough, but I didn't expect such deep implications..."

Douluo Plane Dai Yuner: "Lan Mengqin's point, why does it sound so familiar... Wait! Isn't this the 'One Proof, Eternal Proof' rule of the diary copies?"

Douluo Plane Dai Yuner: "'One Proof, Eternal Proof' is actually real? This is truly chilling!"

Douluo Plane Dai Yuner: "ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh~ I really envy little sister Xue Ke. Why haven't a handsome and top-tier powerhouse like Mo Yu appeared in my era?"

Douluo Plane Dai Yuner: "Little sister Xue Ke, why don't we swap? I don't ask for much, just to stay in your era for one day? Or one hour... uh, one hour might not be enough... Onee-san~ please~"

Douluo Plane Xue Ke: "Sorry, no swapping! But you have reminded me of something..."

Time stop?

To be precise, the core ability of "Made in Heaven" is to interfere with the fundamental force of the universe—gravity—thereby achieving its own rate of time flow and reaching an "infinite" time singularity.

And under this "infinite" value, to the outside world, it is what is known as a time stop...

At this moment, the entire Douluo Plane fell into a state of suspended time. Between heaven and earth, only two figures stood in confrontation... or rather, it was a one-sided crushing.

Tang San stared fixedly at the young figure flickering and alternating between reality and illusion in mid-air, his heart pounding violently.

Without the slightest hesitation, a cold light flashed from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night at Tang San's waist. The soft click of mechanisms engaging bloomed silently, and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow fired instantly!

"Swish-swish--!"

Sixteen sharp refined iron bolts, carrying tremendous piercing power, accurately locked onto Qin Moyu's figure, sealing off all his escape routes.

A dense, piercing whistle tore through the air, and because of the "infinite" acceleration of time, the speed at which the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow bolts tore through the air reached nearly the speed of light!

But the next second, a bizarre scene completely overturned Tang San's perception.

The bolts were clearly within arm's reach, clearly having touched Qin Moyu's figure, yet they passed through without the slightest obstruction, eventually burying themselves into the fluffy clouds in the distance.

It was not preemptive dodging, nor was it superior speed.

It was a temporal dislocation.

Qin Moyu was currently permanently trapped in the cracks of time. His rate of time flow far exceeded that of this world. Tang San's attack trajectories, lead-time calculations, and other such attacks seemed as slow as stillness in his eyes.

Tang San's full-force assault, every precise and lethal angle, fell onto a timeline that had long since passed, unable to even touch the hem of Qin Moyu's clothing.

In this state, the only way to kill Qin Moyu would be like Emporio in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure—using toxins or pure oxygen, and nothing else!

Tang San's pupils shrank, and a chill swept through his entire body.

He activated his Purple Demon Eyes to their limit, yet his field of vision could only capture layers of blurred afterimages; he was completely unable to lock onto Qin Moyu's true form.

High above, the flickering figure of the youth let out a playful, cold laugh: "Tang San, you and I are like old friends at first sight. I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic."

"It's just a pity that time is limited right now, and I can't play with you properly."

"But don't worry, there's plenty of time. The days to come will only get more interesting~"

The moment the words fell, an aura originating from his genes, one that stood above the Soul Land martial soul system, instantly permeated the air.

Behind Qin Moyu, the silhouette of a martial soul gradually emerged; it was the "Herrscher of Reason Divine Core" in its martial soul form.

The next moment, seven brilliant soul rings rose from the base of the "Divine Core," hanging high in the sky, dazzling and eye-catching!

Purple, black, black, red, scarlet, scarlet, gold!

Seven soul rings spread out in sequence, distinct in color, and utterly shocking!

"How is this possible?!"

At this moment, Tang San's brain completely crashed. His entire body froze in place, his pupils trembling to the limit, his face filled with disbelief.

The first soul ring was a thousand-year one, the second was a ten-thousand-year soul ring, and there were even hundred-thousand-year soul rings—how could this be possible!

Didn't the Grandmaster say that the limit for a soul master's first soul ring was only 423 years?!
