Tang San, We Hit It Off at First Sight

The flow of time in reality came to a halt, and only some people's consciousness could transcend the shackles of time...

Diary Copy message board.

Soul Land I Dugu Yan: "??? What happened? Why can't I move?"

Soul Land I Ning Rongrong: "It's not that we can't move. Time has been stopped. It's just that we have the Diary Copy, so we can clearly see Brother Mo Yu's every move right now..."

Soul Land I Xue Ke: "I see... I only heard Brother Mo Yu mention in the diary earlier that he was borrowing the power of the 'Herrscher of Finality Divine Core,' something about his Future Self empowering him..."

Soul Land IV Ye Lingtong: "Holy crap, he activated Sage Mode instantly?"

Soul Land II Xu Tianzhen: "Honestly, I'm a little confused. I didn't understand what happened at all."

Soul Land II Xu Tianzhen: "So far, aside from time being stopped and a Centaur figure suddenly appearing beside Brother Mo Yu, it doesn't seem like there's anything else unusual?"

Soul Land II Meng Hongchen: "And that isn't unusual enough? Time stop! Isn't that ability a little absurd?"

Soul Land II Meng Hongchen: "Look at the diary footage. Everyone is frozen in place. Only Tang San and Brother Mo Yu can move freely. That's already god-level power, isn't it?!"

Soul Land I Ye Lingling: "What's worth noting is that I can't move here at Heaven Dou Royal Academy either..."

Soul Land II Xiao Xiao: "Brother Mo Yu is awesome!"

Soul Land I Shui Yue'er: "Mm-mm~ I can't move either! My first reaction was that I'd run into one of those time-stop scenarios..."

Soul Land I Shui Bing'er: "Little sister... you should read fewer unhealthy books like that."

Soul Land I Huo Wu: "You've got the nerve to lecture her when you've secretly read plenty yourself..."

Soul Land I Qian Renxue: "I think I've roughly figured it out. Normally, when time stops, everyone's consciousness should be frozen as well."

Soul Land I Qian Renxue: "But because of the Diary Copy, our consciousness can remain active, allowing us to follow Brother Mo Yu's perspective and personally witness what happens during this period of stopped time..."

Soul Land I Qian Renxue: "A God King Level Martial Soul... terrifying indeed!"

Soul Land II Ye Guyi: "A God King Level Martial Soul... terrifying indeed!"

Soul Land III Dai Yuner: "+1"

Soul Land IV Lan Mengqin: "No, so all of you only noticed the surface-level phenomenon of time stop? Haven't you discovered something truly terrifying once you think about it?"

Soul Land IV Bai Xiuxiu: "Mengqin, what did you discover? Spill it!"

Soul Land IV Lan Mengqin: "The truly terrifying parts are the 'Herrscher of Finality Divine Core' and borrowing power from his Future Self!"

Soul Land IV Lan Mengqin: "First of all, the fact that Brother Mo Yu can borrow the power of his Future Self confirms an ironclad truth: Brother Mo Yu's future is real and absolutely exists!"

Soul Land IV Lan Mengqin: "Then... does the future exist inherently, or is it Brother Mo Yu's current actions on this timeline that anchor the future as something destined to exist?"

Soul Land IV Lan Mengqin: "Secondly, how did power from the future cross time to be lent to Brother Mo Yu? The complete Future Self of Brother Mo Yu is probably far beyond the limits of our imagination..."

Soul Land IV Bai Xiuxiu: "Holy crap, why didn't you say so sooner!"

Soul Land I Dugu Yan: "I see... I thought opening with time stop was already exaggerated enough. I didn't expect there to be such deeper implications..."

Soul Land III Dai Yuner: "Lan Mengqin's point sounds strangely familiar... Holy crap! Isn't this the Diary Copy rule, 'One Proof, Eternal Proof'?"

Soul Land III Dai Yuner: "'One Proof, Eternal Proof' is actually real? Now that's truly terrifying to think about!"

Soul Land III Dai Yuner: "Sigh~ I'm so jealous of little sister Xue Ke. Why didn't a handsome, top-tier powerhouse like Brother Mo Yu appear in my era?"

Soul Land III Dai Yuner: "Little sister Xue Ke, how about we trade? I'm not asking for much—just let me stay in your era for one day? Or one hour... Uh, one hour might not be enough... Please~ I'm begging you~"

Soul Land I Xue Ke: "Sorry, no trade! But you did remind me of something..."

Time stop?

More accurately, the core ability of Made in Heaven was to interfere with the universe's fundamental force—gravity—thereby accelerating its own flow of time until it reached the temporal singularity of "infinity."

And at the value of "infinity," it became what the outside world perceived as time stop...

At that moment, the entire Douluo Plane had fallen into a state of stopped time. Between heaven and earth, only two figures faced each other... Or rather, it was a one-sided crushing.

Tang San stared fixedly at the flickering young figure in midair, whose form alternated between solid and illusory, while his heart pounded violently.

Without the slightest hesitation, Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night at Tang San's waist flashed with cold light. A faint click of interlocking mechanisms sounded as the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow erupted instantly!

"Whoosh, whoosh—!"

Sixteen sharp refined-iron bolts, carrying tremendous penetrating force, precisely locked onto Qin Moyu's figure and sealed off every possible route of escape.

The piercing shrieks of the bolts tearing through the air rang out. With time accelerated to "infinity," the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow's projectiles nearly reached the speed of light!

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

The bolts were clearly right before him, clearly already touching Qin Moyu's figure, yet every one of them passed through him without obstruction, eventually plunging into the soft clouds in the distance.

It was not predictive dodging, nor was it greater speed.

It was temporal displacement.

At that moment, Qin Moyu was forever situated within the cracks of time. His flow of time far exceeded that of this world. In his eyes, Tang San's attack trajectories and predicted landing points were so slow they seemed frozen.

Tang San's all-out assault, every precise killing angle, all landed upon a timeline that had already passed. They could not even touch the corner of Qin Moyu's clothes.

The only way to kill Qin Moyu in this state was through poison or pure oxygen, just like Emporio in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Nothing else would work!

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

His Purple Demon Eyes operated at full force, yet all he could catch in his field of vision were overlapping, blurry afterimages. He could not lock onto Qin Moyu's true body at all.

High in the sky, the flickering young figure let out a mocking cold laugh. "Tang San, we hit it off at first sight. I never expected you to be so enthusiastic."

"Unfortunately, time is limited right now, so I can't properly play with you."

"But don't worry. We have plenty of time ahead of us. The days to come will only get more and more interesting~"

The instant his words fell, an aura that surpassed the martial soul system of Douluo Continent, originating from his genes, instantly spread outward.

Behind Qin Moyu, the figure of his martial soul gradually emerged. It was the Herrscher of Reason Divine Core in martial soul form.

The next moment, seven incomparably brilliant Spirit Rings rose from beneath the Divine Core, hanging high in the sky with dazzling radiance!

Purple, black, black, red, crimson, crimson, gold!

The seven Spirit Rings spread out in sequence, their colors distinct and their impact utterly shocking!

"How is that possible?!"

At that moment, Tang San's mind completely crashed. His entire body froze stiffly in place, his pupils trembling violently, his face filled with disbelief.

His first Spirit Ring was a thousand-year one, his second was already a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring, and there were even Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings. How was that possible?!

Didn't Grandmaster say that a Soul Master's first Spirit Ring could only be at most 423 years old?!
