Due to Chiori needing time to make the clothes, Furina took the group to wander around some nearby streets.
She also bought them all sorts of trinkets, or rather, decorations.
Whenever the two little ones saw something they liked, Furina would buy it directly, not caring about the price at all, acting like a domineering CEO.
As for the Kamui Dimension, Momoshiki originally didn't care. He was about to continue reading his novel when he suddenly felt Toneri's call.
He opened his Rinnegan, and used space transfer to bring him over.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Momoshiki looked at Toneri with a strange expression, especially seeing his slightly bizarre face.
Taiwan Novel Network is super smooth, 𝚝𝚠𝚔𝚊𝚗.𝚌𝚘𝚖 is super worry-free
He had the Tenseigan. What was there to be afraid of in Teyvat? Could it be that he was facing the Heavenly Principles?
That shouldn't be right. Wasn't that guy sleeping?
"It's like this, Lord Momoshiki."
Toneri didn't hesitate at all, directly recounting everything that had just happened.
Of course, Toneri, who had been erased by time, had no idea, he just told Momoshiki everything he knew.
As for Ronava's previous threat, Toneri simply chose to ignore it.
After listening, Momoshiki fell into brief thought.
No wonder he had felt a strange sensation just now. Who would have thought such a thing would happen?
Momoshiki's eyes turned into light purple Rinnegan. He used the power given by the old man to look at his own causality lines.
Sure enough, some causality lines that were originally fine had inexplicably disappeared, and some other causality lines had appeared.
Listening to Toneri's description, the huge eyeballs in the sky, emitting an aura of death and ominous red light.
Besides Ronava, the Archon of Death, Momoshiki basically couldn't think of anyone else.
Because Toneri's description was too vague, Momoshiki opened the system panel, found the ability attribute column, and glanced at the remaining Origin Chakra Energy.
Origin Chakra Energy: 30597 points.
To reach a point where even he couldn't detect it, it must be that one of the three, causality, fate, or time, exceeded his own.
Among the Four Archons, only Isthar, the Archon of Time, had absolute control over time.
Currently, Momoshiki's mastery of time was very poor, only having some basic abilities. He definitely couldn't compare to the embodiment of the concept of time.
He was truly caught off guard!
He found this light purple Rinnegan in the ability column, and a pile of attributes burst out.
He scrolled down a few times and found the main ability.
Great Divine Imperial High Spirit Life.
This was the name of the ability to see and change causality lines.
Although the ability given by the Sage of Six Paths sounded very strong, with his weak state, this ability couldn't be developed much. To improve it, he could only rely on refinement.
He had originally planned to save it for upgrading more awesome skills, but now he had to guard against the old man.
He allocated 10,000 points entirely to Great Divine Imperial High Spirit Life, directly boosting its refinement value to 10,000.
A unique and incomparably terrifying power instantly surged into the light purple Rinnegan. The originally blurry causality lines began to solidify, and could even be touched by his hand.
Even chakra could be injected, entering edit mode.
The causality lines that had originally been deleted appeared out of thin air.
Feeling the power gradually surging out, Kinshiki and Toneri didn't make a sound, just quietly watched Momoshiki.
Although they didn't understand what had happened, Lord Momoshiki had clearly become stronger again.
When Momoshiki opened his eyes again, the light purple Rinnegan emitted a terrifying aura.
Jumping down from Kinshiki's arms, Momoshiki reached out and directly grabbed the altered causality line.
At the same time, the cause and effect of this causality line also appeared in Momoshiki's mind.
From Ronava coming to find Isthar as the cause, until Ronava was pulled back by time as the effect, everything that happened in between was clear at a glance.
"I see."
After watching the entire process, Momoshiki was deeply shocked by Isthar's abilities, and also felt a lingering fear.
So time could be played like this?
Considering Isthar's terrifying ability alone, if Momoshiki were to master it, facing an uncertain threat, he would directly generate an opposite version of himself, and the two overlapping would directly erase it. He wouldn't slack off at all.
In other words, Isthar in Teyvat was fully capable of erasing any existence not within predetermined fate. This was the true power of time.
But for some reason, she chose to slack off, allowing him to grow.
While feeling lingering fear, Momoshiki also breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Now, his causality ability had been refined to 10,000 points. He no longer had to fear the effects of time. Even if he was erased, causality could directly pull him back.
The light purple Rinnegan switched back to golden yellow Rinnegan. Momoshiki reached out and touched it.
Isthar's authority came from the Heavenly Principles. The Heavenly Principles slept in Teyvat, so time couldn't interfere beyond Teyvat.
But he was different. He was himself, and didn't need any source at all.
So if this time-related Rinnegan was infinitely refined and evolved, wouldn't he have Isthar's abilities in any universe?
It was simply unsolvable.
It seemed Urashiki's eyes had to be obtained as soon as possible. He would have to send them back to Naruto after a while.
Thinking this, Momoshiki, perhaps out of muscle memory, involuntarily curled his lips into a smile.
Previously, due to the conceptual skill of Takami-Musubi, he had devoured power everywhere in the universe, abandoning the development of time, space, causality, and fate.
This feeling was like a whale being invincible in the sea, but easily being exhausted to death by a rabbit on land, yet the whale was unaware.
But now it was different. Having felt the authority of time, Momoshiki's hexagonal warrior form was about to make its debut.
He slid the panel to Takami-Musubi Time. Momoshiki directly spent another 10,000 Origin Chakra Energy.
In an instant, an incomparably vast power surged in again. This time it involved the concept of time. Originally, he could pull the past to the present. With 10,000 refinement, he could perfectly observe a time progress bar almost identical to Isthar's.
However, he could only pull it backward, unable to see the future.
But that was already enough.
Although Takami-Musubi's devoured abilities couldn't be used on himself, only decomposed into basic power amplification, this also ensured a perfect body.
Then there were only the two shortcomings of fate and space.
He only had a little over 10,000 Origin Chakra Energy left. Momoshiki closed the system panel.
He didn't plan to upgrade space for now. After all, the causality lines showed that he had transferred Ronava, which meant space was currently sufficient.
It was better to save the remaining energy for upgrading stronger abilities in the future.
He looked at the Rinnegan in both his hands. An invisible pressure seemed to dissipate. Momoshiki took a deep breath, feeling a headache.
"Tsk..."
How great would it have been if he had transmigrated later? He hadn't seen the plot after Natlan at all. He had originally thought Venti was the Archon of Time.
But then Isthar popped out. Fortunately, her face was full of resignation, otherwise he wouldn't even have had an early game.
And Ronava, wasn't she a giant eyeball? What was with this beautiful human form?
It was hard to imagine how many players, after seeing the true appearance of the Archon of Death, would immediately betray their captain overnight.
...
In a bookstore.
Haku and Kimimaro curiously squatted together, flipping through manga.
Although they couldn't understand the text, the illustrations were quite interesting, and they could roughly understand what was happening.
Focalors was choosing which mystery novel was the best, while her good sister beside her grabbed one after another, quickly accumulating a pile of books.
"Alas..."
Looking at the pile of miscellaneous books in Furina's arms, Focalors sighed helplessly.
"Furina, these books aren't about quantity, but quality. What if Momoshiki loses interest in novels after reading them?"
"It's fine." Furina smiled confidently, then turned and took the group to the checkout.
"I've never been picky about books before. I just buy whatever's available. Momoshiki reads what he likes, and the ones he doesn't like are used as a bed."
Focalors: "..."
Recalling Momoshiki lying in the pile of books, it seemed that was indeed the case.
Many books hadn't even been unwrapped, clearly indicating Momoshiki wasn't interested in them just from the cover.
She lowered her head and looked at the two mystery novels in her hand, unsure which one was better. Focalors stacked the two together and walked towards the cashier.
Never mind, she would buy both. Buying more would allow her to make a bed.
The two little ones each carefully hugged a manga, as if it were a precious treasure.
After Furina paid, she put all these books into the Kamui Dimension.
...
"So, Lord Momoshiki has gained the power to control causality?"
Under Kinshiki and Toneri's curious questioning, Momoshiki told the two about his new power, successfully seeing their shocked expressions.
"That's right. This is an ability I developed to deal with time. With this, no matter what happens, it will be accurately recorded, and can also influence myself again."
Momoshiki explained, arms crossed.
This was why he could deal with time. Time couldn't erase causality, only change it. But this Rinnegan also had another ability, which was the ability to fix causality, as the old man himself said.
Under this ability, causality would not be changed by time at all. Even if the growth period was erased, it could still influence himself again, so that his abilities and everything would not disappear.
Thinking this, Momoshiki opened his light purple Rinnegan, slightly activated the causality lines, and injected chakra into them.
With chakra injected, Kinshiki and Toneri, two inexperienced bumpkins, saw causality lines with their own eyes for the first time.
Feeling the power contained within, they both widened their eyes in shock.
Momoshiki reached out and grabbed a causality line. The cause and effect within it immediately surged into his mind.
Furina put away a manga, placing it in the Kamui Dimension, but it appeared above her head.
"Heh heh."
Momoshiki smiled confidently. He didn't even need to look up. He casually reached out and directly grabbed the newly appeared manga.
He looked at the cover. It was still the one Kimimaro liked.
Kinshiki and Toneri also felt it. Lord Momoshiki hadn't used any perception when he grabbed the causality line, but he could predict out of thin air that this manga would be put in by Furina.
The power of cause and effect was indeed terrifying!
The two exchanged glances, both seeing surprise and admiration in each other's eyes. They both turned to look at Momoshiki, just about to say some flattering words.
But then a pile of novels suddenly appeared above Momoshiki's head, raining down like a storm.
Because it happened too suddenly, Momoshiki, caught up in his triumph, didn't react at all and was directly buried.
"Lord Momoshiki!"
