Final Order Interrogation · World Silent Judgment

The moment Qin Yu was engulfed by the crimson and purple life light, the entire world seemed to be inverted and distorted. The space beneath his feet collapsed into millions of fragments of life patterns, which then reformed into a sea of light.

Inside the Fate Abyss Dragon Palace, First Layer: The Fate Abyss Embryonic Domain.

It was a realm without ground, without sky, without up, down, left, or right.

Countless "unborn destinies" floated all around, like mist formed from fetal breath, gently pulsating in the void, each pulse flashing with an extremely brief trace of destiny light.

Those light traces appeared and disappeared rapidly, each one like the "first thought" of countless lives, but before they took shape, they were collected by the Fate Abyss Dragon in some way and stored in this embryonic domain.

Extinguished Light stood beside Qin Yu, her light wings retracted, gazing silently at the space. For the first time, a rare, slight restraint appeared in her eyes—as if even she was facing some ancient and unfathomable being.

Qin Yu looked up. The sky... had no color.

There is only one enormous river of life force that runs across the entire world, formed from crimson and purple life force light. Countless dragon patterns are engraved deep within the riverbed, as if the ancestral life force of billions of the Dragon Clan lies dormant there.

The River of Primordial Fate. The river has no direction, as if time has been hollowed out, leaving only an eternal source of destiny, without beginning or end, without cause or effect.

Just as Qin Yu was about to speak, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook.

Deep within the Dragon Palace, a massive staircase slowly rose from nothingness.

Each step is a dragon bone. Each dragon bone has complete life patterns, and the light spreads slowly like a heartbeat.

The staircase leads to the entrance to a completely dark and Emptiness abyss.

Extinguished Light said softly, "This is... Dragon Bone Stairway."

Just as Qin Yu was about to take a step, the world suddenly converged into a single point.

A deep, ancient sound, as if it came from the beginning of the universe, resounded throughout the entire womb.

"--You've arrived."

The light dissipated, and a colossal dragon shadow, large enough to shatter the world, slowly appeared.

It was not in the form of that colossal dragon from before.

That's just the outer shell. The real thing is here.

The true form of the Fate Abyss Dragon is forged from destiny itself; it has no scales, no flesh, and no physical form.

Its body is a river chain Origin Framework, resembling a dragon, yet incredibly abstract.

It exists simultaneously in front of Qin Yu, above his head, below his feet, and in every direction.

It's as if the whole world is filled with it. "This place."

As the dragon's voice resounded, every inch of the world's life-bound patterns trembled. "It is the palace left behind by the primordial Origin Dragon of the universe— the Fate Abyss Dragon Palace."

Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat. The Origin Dragon...

That is the origin of all Dragon Clan, the original lifeblood of the world before it was created.

Fate Abyss Dragon continued, "All those I have brought here have attained the initial awakening of their Fate Authority. You are no exception."

Qin Yu took a deep breath. "Senior, why was I brought here?"

The dragon's life-giving eye slowly lit up. "You will have the opportunity to obtain -- The Silent Mirror: The Unconstructed Dragon Page."

Qin Yu frowned slightly upon hearing the name for the first time. "Senior... what is the Silent Mirror: The Unconstructed Dragon Page?"

The dragon's response resounded throughout the entire womb like a thunderous roar, "When you truly pass the Three Contemplations Trial... you will understand."

The River of Primordial Fate trembled with the sound, and the life patterns within the embryonic domain all floated up, as if converging deep within the Dragon Palace.

Qin Yu remained silent for a few moments. "Then... senior, what if I fail?"

The dragon's voice suddenly deepened, like the echo of a broken primordial Time Splitting: "--The loser will be stripped of all cause and effect for having been here."

Qin Yu's eyes trembled slightly. The dragon added, "You've never been here before. You've never spoken to me. You were erased by the Fate Abyss... not even your 'failure' will be recorded."

Extinguished Light's aura tightened beside him, but she didn't stop him. Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then looked up. "Alright, I'm willing to accept the test. Now that I'm here, I won't back down; forging ahead is my principle."

Suddenly, the dragon fixed its life-giving eyes on Extinguished Light.

The light of destiny reflected on her dark, radiant hair, yet it could not reach her very essence.

The dragon murmured, "She... is also within your destiny."

Qin Yu nodded. "Could she come with me?"

The dragon nodded, its Fate Shadow pressing down towards the abyss entrance. "Alright."

Deep within the Fate Abyss Dragon Palace, three enormous life runes began to light up.

Three Contemplations Trial - First Value, Second Value, Third Value -

The three fundamental laws governing destiny in the world.

The light deep within the Dragon Palace slowly shone forth, as if waking from a dream.

"Step onto the Dragon Bone Stairway." The dragon's voice echoed throughout the entire Palace of Fate Abyss: "The Fate Abyss Three Trials... Begin."

Deep within the Fate Abyss Dragon Palace, three life runes have already lit up.

The first life rune presented a strange "light without light"—not bright, not dazzling, yet it made the entire Dragon Bone Stairway appear as transparent as if its skin had been peeled off.

When Qin Yu stepped onto the first tier of the dragon bone, the River of Life suddenly trembled. A deep abyss-like crack opened up in the Fetal Domain.

The ancient voice of the dragon echoed throughout the palace, "First View— Contemplation of Fate's Beginning."

"You as you are now are something that 'came into existence later'."

To obtain the Unconstructed Dragon Page, you must first confront the question: what would happen if you had never been born?

The world exploded instantly. Qin Yu's vision went completely black, but that blackness wasn't from shadows...

It is the darkness of "no light, never created".

It is black, Does Not Exist before color was conceived in the universe.

The world beneath Qin Yu's feet suddenly cracked open.

He saw himself—not the person he is now.

It wasn't him from his weaker days, but rather... a version of himself from the moment he emerged.

It was a phantom without form, name, Fate Soul, or any "basis for being recognized by the world."

It's as if the name "Qin Yu" shouldn't even exist.

The illusory figure slowly raised its head. That face... resembled Qin Yu, yet also didn't...

Because that wasn't "Qin Yu who was allowed to appear by fate".

Instead, it says, "Qin Yu, rejected by the world." It opens its mouth.

The voice was like the first scream before the universe was torn apart, "--What right do you have to exist?"

Qin Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest; it wasn't a physical injury, but rather a tearing at the very root of his Fate Authority.

The dragon's voice echoed from the depths of darkness, "The first question in the Contemplation of Fate's Beginning— "

Answer your own Unborn self.

Qin Yu stared at his "Unborn self," his voice steady. "I exist because I came here by myself."

The phantom did not back down; instead, it became even clearer. "You exist because of countless coincidences."

You live because no one killed you. You become stronger because of countless external forces propelling you forward.

Without them, you have no right to stand here.

Qin Yu's gaze was sharp as a knife, and he said, word by word, "What others give me is opportunity, not definition. I am defined by myself."

The phantom was jolted back half a step, darkness surged as if to engulf it, but then reformed in the next moment, roaring:

"And what about me? If you were 'Qin Yu, born with the world' --"

Then I am the one who should have been replaced by you and never been born!

What makes you think you deserve to exist more than me?!

The River of Primordial Fate suddenly surged, its waters flowing backward. Countless unborn destiny patterns from the nascent realm rushed towards the illusory figure, making it increasingly real, increasingly resembling a "Qin Yu whose destiny was stolen."

Qin Yu raised his hand. The Fate Abyss Initial Opening lit up in his palm.

"You were not replaced by me." "You are the direction I have not yet traveled." "You were not erased." "You are the destination I reach if I do not move forward."

Qin Yu raised his finger, and a faint wisp of unnamed primordial light shone from his fingertip.

"So—you are not 'the reason I shouldn't exist.' You are the reason I must continue to exist."

The illusory figure froze. The entire womb seemed to be suspended in time at that moment.

The phantom slowly cracked open, transforming into countless "unnamed fate patterns," which drifted within the Fate Abyss Palace and were absorbed deep within the Dragon Palace.

A distant dragon's low murmur echoed, "--The Contemplation of Fate's Beginning - Passing."

The River of Fate flowed again, and the second life rune lit up on the Dragon Bone Stairway.

Extinguished Light glanced at Qin Yu gently, a faint soft light appearing in his dark eyes for the first time.

Qin Yu looked up, and the darkness of the first view completely dissipated. He was standing on the second level of the Dragon Bone Stairway.

The dragon's voice rang out again. "The Second View— The Contemplation of Fate's Sin."

"You possess the Fate Authority creation, yet you have not proven that your existence will not bring disaster to the world."

The moment Qin Yu took a step, the world beneath his feet instantly collapsed.

He plunged into a sea of light composed of "Judgments of Fate." That light wasn't light at all, but rather a series of propositions "about Qin Yu's future":

Qin Yu will destroy countless worlds in the future.

Qin Yu was destined to become the Origin Destroyer.

Qin Yu's very existence is the greatest variable in the universe.

These propositions manifested as countless beams of light, entangling him, questioning him, and oppressing him.

The Fate Abyss Dragon's true voice echoed like the tolling of hell's bell.

"The second question—would your existence kill the entire world?" Qin Yu asked in a deep voice:...

Deep within the Fate Abyss Embryonic Domain, a resounding boom, seemingly from the Unborn era, ripped through the heavens and earth. The entire second level of the Dragon Palace trembled violently, the black surface of the Abyss of Fate Abyss cracking into countless reverse currents, as if an invisible hand had swept it back from the "future" to the "past." The earth beneath Qin Yu's feet began to peel away layer by layer, each layer revealing a face both strange and familiar—the "projections of his life's sins"—all those that had been Annihilation, betrayed, and shattered throughout his life.

Extinguished Light was isolated from the outside world. A dragon-patterned light barrier, seemingly composed of "unwritten shadows," blocked her in place, preventing even her aura of annihilation from penetrating. Qin Yu stood alone at the center, the power of the Fate Abyss gathering from all directions, like a judge who had slumbered for ten thousand years opening his eyes.

There was no sound, yet it was as if the entire universe was whispering at the same moment.

A dark shadow rose from the bottom of the River of Fate Abyss. It wasn't just one person.

Rather, it is a judgment body composed of fragments of Qin Yu's own future destiny.

The moment it raised its head, the world was split in two: on the left was Soul Sea formed from all the enemies Qin Yu had killed, and on the right were the shadows of all the living beings he had saved, who had died because of him in another branch of fate. With each breath it took, thousands upon thousands of "causal projections" vibrated in sync.

With a single step, the entire second level of the Dragon Palace was as if struck by a cataclysmic impact, with all the time-related patterns shattering.

Qin Yu's brow furrowed, but he did not back down.

With the first wave of the Judgment Body, the fate of heaven and earth was reversed, and countless "chains of rebellion" were flung out from the void, sweeping in with a terrifying pressure capable of tearing apart the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme.

Qin Yu raised his left palm, and the invisible ring of absolute Annihilation vibrated gently in his palm.

That is -- Boundless Return to the Abyss, the Annihilation Other Shore.

The instant the ring opened, the scene seemed to be seized by an unspeakable force. All the chains within three feet of Qin Yu were prematurely deleted by the "future self that Does Not Exist," turning into gray light and dissipating. The walls of the Dragon Palace were stained grayish-white, as if all meaning had been erased with a single stroke.

The body of judgment roared, a furious cry that shattered heaven and earth, as the second attack pressed down like a raging tide.

This time, it wasn't chains, but countless shadows of "Qin Yu himself" falling backward from various timelines. Their eyes were empty, soulless, and devoid of thought, and each shadow was followed by a trail of annihilating flames. They simultaneously raised their swords, simultaneously raised their palms, and simultaneously released all the skills that Qin Yu had already mastered, had not yet mastered, and might master in the future.

This is an attack on "the sum total of all possible future possibilities for oneself".

The moment Qin Yu's gaze darkened, a halo of overlapping black and white light appeared behind him, like the final solar eclipse at the end of the universe.

Heavenly Annihilation - Overlord's Ultimate Classic - Annihilation - Final Abyss Judgment

The moment his right arm rose, all the light was drawn into his palm and then exploded.

The black and gold power of judgment swept across the Dragon Palace.

One by one, the shadows of Qin Yu from the future were shattered into ashes, the flames of destiny were devoured, and even the "future possibilities" from which they originated were completely severed. In that instant, the entire Dragon Palace seemed to have its future wiped out, immersed in Timelessness night of Annihilation.

But the body of judgment did not dissipate. It raised its hand a third time.

Before the attack landed, all the light in the Dragon Palace went out, the surface of the River of Fate Abyss shattered like glass, and millions of "Unborn sins" turned into dragon bone fragments that floated in mid-air.

Each piece of dragon bone records the "crimes Qin Yu may have committed but never did" in his life.

The body of judgment pressed these fragments down on Qin Yu's head, bit by bit.

That wasn't an attack, but rather conceptual annihilation. Qin Yu did not retreat.

He took a deep breath and gripped the Silent Origin Stainless Sword in his right hand.

The sword was devoid of light, yet it reflected a "No Definition crack" that seemed to belong to a realm entirely different from this one.

He murmured, "Undefined Destruction Sword."

The sword light did not strike, but rather removed the premise of "the act of attack" from the very foundation of the world.

Just before they fell, all the dragon bone fragments were stripped of the condition that allowed them to fall by the Stainless Sword, stopping them completely in mid-air. Then, they were peeled away layer by layer from existence, concept, and destiny, eventually turning into unrecoverable dust.

At this moment, the body of judgment finally became truly enraged. It attacked for the fourth time.

A huge black line suddenly rose from the bottom of the River of Fate Abyss -Abyss--

That was the true Ultimate Judgment of the second aspect of the Fate Abyss: "Not because of the overturned sea, but because of the reversal of fate."

The entire Dragon Palace transformed into a massive pool of Fate Abyss Ink, with Qin Yu standing at its very center, entangled by countless "reverse lines of cause and effect." His past was rewritten, his present was inverted, and his future was erased.

A "reverse-written image of Qin Yu" slowly rose from the ink pool, its face distorted and its eyes empty, like an evil spirit of "Qin Yu's complete form of sin."

It has no emotions, no voice, and its every step can World Extinguisher.

For the first time, Qin Yu frowned deeply. Because it... was his "possible end."

The Judgment Body and the original Shadow attacked simultaneously.

A chilling aura, unlike anything he had ever displayed in any battle, erupted from Qin Yu's body. A life seal appeared on his left hand, and sixteen pillars of life-orbiting light lit up simultaneously.

Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence: Six Severances Seal - Final Order Interrogation: World Silent Judgment.

With his life as a pen, his soul as ink, and his existence as paper, he wrote his final words upon his own "true self-image of sin": -- "You cannot exist."

The moment the Six Severances Seal descended, it was as if the heavens and earth had been cleaved apart by a giant brush. The true form of the sin was extracted from the order of destiny, without even the right to struggle, and instantly evaporated from all levels.

Before the body of judgment could react, Qin Yu's second palm strike landed. Fate Principle Reflection Severance - Erase the Name to Ashes.

A gray wound appeared on the chest of the judgment body; the wound was not a wound, but rather "the place where its name was deleted".

The next instant—the body of judgment was swallowed up by a silent gray light from top to bottom and inside to outside, turning into dust and falling to the bottom of the River of Fate Abyss.

The second level of the Dragon Palace was completely calm.

The true form of the Dragon of the Fate Abyss slowly emerged high in the sky, its enormous horns hidden in the Unborn nebula, its pupils unfathomable. It gazed down at Qin Yu for a long time, its voice echoing like the first breath of wind in the universe:

"Second viewing... you have passed."
