The Mysterious Race Beneath the Saint Transformation Divine Domain

Deep within the palace.

On the ancient altar, the cracks in the black and gold Buddha statue grew larger and larger, and the cursed spirits boiled and tore and gnawed in the void, like a black mist tide devouring dimensions.

Just as Qin Yu locked onto the "Void Evolution Logic Chain"—the Buddha statue suddenly stopped.

It was as if the entire spirit realm had been instantly put on "pause" by an invisible hand.

Immediately following—BOOM—!!!

The crack in the Buddha statue's chest suddenly burst open. The Buddha's remnant spirit—its true form—appeared.

That was not a Buddha, but a remnant soul of the Void Emanation Realm that had been forcibly sealed into a Buddha's body.

It slowly raised its head.

At that moment, the entire area seemed to be torn into pieces, and time and space were like a canvas that had been crumpled up and then unfolded—the textures were distorted, the colors were inverted, and cause and effect were disordered.

The true form of the remnant spirit of the Buddha statue

A vertical pupil opens between the eyebrows, inside which is a constantly collapsing and regenerating void, like a spacetime cancer that devours itself and constantly reconstructs itself.

The golden body peeled away completely, revealing a black skeleton corroded by the Flow of Void Emanation —the skeleton was not a physical object, but rather composed of meaningless afterimages, each flash causing the surrounding space to "jump frames like a short film."

His hands formed a mudra, but it wasn't a Buddhist mudra; rather, it was a "Void Evolution Seal Form" that didn't belong to the Source of Epochless. Each overlapping finger seemed to be deducing another cosmic structure.

The next instant—BOOM!!!

The remnant spirit of the Buddha statue roars silently.

But the roar was silent, yet it shattered the surrounding space like shards of glass, with countless cracks spreading like black lightning.

The number of cursed spirits instantly increased a hundredfold! But Qin Yu merely watched coldly, remaining Ultimate calm.

The number of cursed spirits increased, but Qin Yu discovered something strange—

Each time the number of his Annihilation cursed spirits decreased, the Void Evolution skeleton of the "remnant spirit of the Buddha statue" would glow a little brighter.

Qin Yu murmured to himself, "... I see."

The cursed spirit is not an attack method of the Buddha statue, but rather an extension fragment of the Buddha statue's remnant spirit's 'Void Evolution True Body'.

The more I Annihilation, the closer it gets to completeness.

The realm of Void Evolution is essentially. "The flow of existence ceases to exist in the formless, yet proliferates itself within that formlessness."

It is not summoning a cursed spirit.

It is using cursed spirits to "build itself".

Qin Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened. "You want to use the cursed spirit to complete your own 'Void Evolution Chain'?"

By doing that... you've actually exposed your 'root of existence'.

With a flick of his palm, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword appeared. In an instant, the sword light illuminated the entire crumbling palace domain.

The Buddha statue's spirit, threatened, spoke for the first time.

Sound is not language, but rather "dotted lines of repeated failures," like audio that has been poorly edited.

"... You... come... and... don't... think... you... are... leaving..."

The runes written on the entire altar lit up simultaneously, like countless eerie eyes staring at Qin Yu.

The shadows of the "past" and "future" around him were stretched into distorted lines, overlapping beside Qin Yu.

As if subjected to "temporal entanglement," the remnant spirit of the Buddha statue raised its hand, and the Void Evolution True Body took shape.

Behind it, countless cursed spirits merged into a gigantic, hollow eye, like a bottomless abyss poised to devour the entire Saint Transformation Divine Domain.

Qin Yu's Silent Origin Stainless Sword - Second Form: Causeless Disillusionment Sword!

Space exploded. The trajectory of the sword light was neither bright nor dark, but rather:

--The "causeless shattering of light" that arises after negating both light and darkness.

There was no skill prelude. There were no psionic fluctuations. Does Not Exist even a sword aura.

Qin Yu lightly drew his sword. Instantly, the world became a still canvas.

At this moment, the Void Evolution surge of energy unleashed by the remnant spirit of the Buddha statue...

It came to a complete standstill, as if its definition had been "ripped out."

Each segment of the Void Evolution skeleton began to crumble.

But it wasn't a normal shattering; rather, it was as if it had been removed from "the very logic of existence."

The remnant spirit of the Buddha statue suddenly roared, "--No... possible...! I... am... a... Void Evolution... god... Buddha...!"

Qin Yu said calmly, "Void Evolution can escape cause and effect, but he cannot escape 'no cause'."

Sword light reverses and Annihilation.

The entire structure of the Void Evolution remnant spirit was as if it had been swallowed into a silent black hole.

Its propositions, causality, logic, narrative, future, past...

It shattered completely under a single sword strike. The cracks in the Buddha statue spread like paper.

The Void Evolution framework was removed from the "conceptual level".

The cursed spirits were all extinguished, not because they died, but because:

Even the possibility of "having ever existed" has disappeared.

The entire storage room fell silent. Even the air seemed to forget to vibrate.

Qin Yu sheathed his sword. His clothes fluttered without any wind.

He said calmly, "A remnant spirit of the Void Emanation Realm, you should have Annihilation ten thousand years ago."

The Buddha statue was completely shattered. The depths of the palace finally returned to deathly silence.

The moment the Buddha statue's spirit Annihilation, the entire sealed chamber seemed to have lost the "Void Evolution gravity" that supported its operation, and the world became eerily quiet.

The next second -- Boom--!!!

It wasn't a tremor; rather, the ground was "sinking."

The earth beneath the altar seemed to have some ancient mechanism triggered, with layers of soil, rock walls, and spatial structures all descending together, as if the entire depths of the Saint Transformation Divine Temple were being stripped of its disguise.

Qin Yu amidst the shattered stone patterns, his eyes slightly narrowed. "... This is a structure that the Ancestor would never have set up."

In other words, the true secret of the Saint Transformation Divine Domain is hidden even further down.

The ground completely cracked.

After the dust and debris scattered across the sky—

The earth beneath their feet vanished, replaced by a golden nebula path.

And at the end of that road was a door—

The Golden Gate is enormous, mysterious, and indescribably ancient.

The moment Qin Yu looked up, even his breath seemed to be momentarily held in place by some force.

Two colossal gates, forged from an unknown metal, pierce the summit of the sea of clouds; from their appearance, they resemble:

A giant golden book, flattened into a "door" shape.

The facade is covered with ancient runes, each line resembling a trace of fallen stars, radiating a brilliance that transcends eras.

Behind the door was not darkness, but a boundless sea of stars.

The sea of stars flows, carrying the "texture of an unwritten universe," as if a chapter beyond time is being quietly turned.

A bright new moon hung behind the door, its light spilling onto the nebulae, as if illuminating the path for some ancient civilization that was about to return.

Clouds surged and billowed, golden light rippled like a tide. Starlight poured down, as if countless slumbering worlds were awakening on the edge of a narrative.

Qin Yu stood before the entrance, as if standing on the cover of a new era about to be turned.

The wind stopped. The light stopped.

Even the ancient sacred book within the Annihilation Devil Pupil - Final Spirit Core trembled slightly.

"... This... is not something from the Chaos First Palace."

Qin Yu's heart sank slightly. "It seems to be... an ancient relic from another era?"

The road beneath his feet seemed to be illuminated, and golden light surged forward along his steps.

From the depths of the starry sea beyond the door, whispers drifted. They were neither incantations nor laws...

It was as if a forgotten civilization was breathing through the cracks.

Qin Yu took a step forward. The entire sea of clouds opened up to him in golden light.

The moment Qin Yu stepped through the gate of the golden giant book, the world seemed to turn upside down.

The golden light beneath their feet suddenly sank, transforming into a flowing river of star-shaped characters;

The sky is no longer the sky, but rather layers of giant crystal walls representing the memories of civilization.

Each layer of crystal wall is engraved with a flowing scroll of ancient civilization:

The God Clan refine stars, the Dragon Clan forge the heavens, the sages rewrite history, and all races record destiny...

That was the era before the attainment of sainthood, so ancient that even the Annihilation Abyss Epoch had no record of it.

The moment Qin Yu looked up, even his mind was shaken slightly.

"... This is the pre-Sainthood Era? An entire civilization... completely sealed underground?"

After the nebula faded from view, the entire world was revealed to Qin Yu:

A colossal, immeasurable "Heavenly Book City Realm" sits at the center of the void.

Its architecture is not stone, nor metal, but:

A temple formed from countless "information fragments, cosmic laws, and civilization data layers".

The temple is like a superstructure created by superimposing three-dimensional, four-dimensional, and five-dimensional elements.

The patterns of time and space folding leap in the gaps of the building.

Giant golden characters floated above the temple, like statues of fragments of civilization.

It is a thousand times larger than the Void Obliteration Domain outside, and ten thousand times older than the Qi Primordial Chaos Hall of the Chaos First Palace.

This is the secret hidden for ten thousand years in the Saint Transformation Divine Domain: -- The Prehistory of Sainthood: The Lost Main City of Civilization.

Qin Yu stepped into the central square of this massive city, a rumbling sound came from behind him—

The gate to the golden book slowly closed.

The two colossal gates, forged from the laws of an ancient civilization, seemed to sense that "the visitor has entered."

Boom! The giant gate closes.

The world was locked down. The golden light of the cloud sea was cut off from the outside world, and the entire deep realm fell into absolute silence.

Qin Yu looked back and only saw the ancient book's door pattern shimmering:

Nine divine markings used to Sever Karma, time, and destiny.

"... Once inside, it's never easy to get out."

Qin Yu muttered to himself, but did not back down.

Because the very next second after the gate to the giant book closed—

Suddenly, countless cold lights shone all around the square.

Thousands upon thousands of world-class "information life forms" have emerged.

They are not living beings. They are not the dead.

They are not a physical race. They are--

A "civilization-level life form" that is recorded, sealed, and imbued with symbolic culture.

Every living being frozen in the city seems to have had "absolute time frozen" pressed.

The Void Evolution Shadow Spirit Clan exists above the Void Emanation Realm.

Its appearance is that of a semi-transparent, golden-black humanoid figure, whose body is composed of countless floating runes.

The runes, like stardust, constantly reassembled; the head had no facial features, but rather was an ever-changing "conceptual mask."

Their chests are hollow, and inside is --

An unfinished world line. These shadow spirits stand on both sides of the street, each with a different posture:

Some held swords, some held lanterns, some looked up at the sky. But all were frozen, as if they had been eternally pressed into a "pause."

The Abyssal Time Ancient Dragon Remnant Clan, above the Stainless Realm

In terms of appearance, the dragon's body is composed of information particles, and each dragon scale shimmers with time-flow scales;

Reversed time runes encircled the dragon's horns.

Their enormous wings were spread out in the air, but they did not flap.

Time stood still, freezing their flight.

The enormous dragon shadow solidified in the air, like a reflection frozen in a rift in spacetime.

Sacred Chant Bookfolk (Chaos Realm and Above)

Its shape, its body like an unfolded page of scripture,

The face is a blurred human face created by light and shadow.

Bones are words and sentences, skin is symbols.

Blood is a constantly flashing stream of civilized information.

These life forms remained frozen in a prayerful posture.

Each page of the "skin" is inscribed with the language of an unfinished civilization.

The Realm-Rending Stele Guardians (Above the Stainless Realm)

Its shape resembles both a person and a monument.

Half of its body is decorated with stone tablet patterns, engraved with fragments of the world;

The other half is a golden humanoid figure, resembling an unfinished "higher civilization construct".

Three points of light floated in their eye sockets:

Representing "past, present, and future". Now everything is extinguished.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of such life forms within the giant city.

Utter silence. Everything seemed to be awaiting the command for the return of some civilization.

Qin Yu stood in the open space in the center, his heart skipping a beat.

"These... are all beings above the Void Emanation Realm?"

A temple actually houses tens of thousands...?"

The Annihilation Devil Pupil - The Final Spirit Core trembled between his brows.

It seemed to be telling Qin Yu:

Any race here, if alive, is a terrifying existence capable of destroying the entire Void Obliteration Domain.

And now, they are all... -- absolutely suspended.

It was as if someone had forcibly cast a spell to "freeze the entire city."

Qin Yu took a deep breath. "The pre-Saint Transformation Era... so powerful to this extent."

Suddenly, a message flickered in the starry sky. It was as if... some consciousness had sensed his presence.
