Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow

In that instant, deep within Zhou Wanning 'Fate Soul, the dark golden crystal the size of a lotus seed vibrated once more.

It wasn't prompted. It wasn't awakened.

Instead, they intervene proactively the moment they perceive that "the legitimacy of their existence has been denied."

The silvery-white Void Evolution Causality Threads suddenly tightened, like thousands of invisible lifelines, spreading out from the crystal surface and directly piercing into every crack at the boundary between her Fate Soul and reality.

That power did not erupt or impact; it simply shifted the "Unreason Annihilation Chant" of the Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix from her definition of existence by an imperceptible angle in an extremely restrained yet absolutely precise manner.

It was as if fate had been quietly shifted a little.

But it is precisely this small inch that causes "negation" to lose its anchor.

Boom--

That absolute denial that had already nailed her to the outcome layer suddenly slid down, turning into an unsettled aftershock in the void, brushing past her side and wiping the depths of the icy plain into a blank space, but failing to touch her again.

Zhou Wanning was suddenly jolted. The world began to flow anew.

The wind returned. The ice shards fell to the ground. Time moved forward again.

Her chest heaved violently, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth again, but at that moment, she regained her footing.

She slowly raised her head, turned around, and faced the enormous figure that stretched across the sky.

Nine wings blot out the sky, starlight blazes across the heavens.

The Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix.

Its usually cold, almost mechanical phoenix eyes showed a noticeable freeze for the first time at this moment.

The next moment, it spoke.

The sound was no longer a judgment, nor a song, but a deep, ancient confirmation, seemingly transcending countless eras.

"... Finally found it."

Its nine wings folded slightly, Annihilation Starflame around it slowly receded. However, the oppressive aura that was powerful enough to tear apart all rules did not dissipate; instead, it became even more condensed.

"You are the one who nurtures the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow."

Zhou Wanning was slightly taken aback. "Void Evolution... replenishing the causal marrow?"

She had never heard of this name before.

She didn't know what it meant, but the moment she heard it, a chill instinctively arose from the depths of her Fate Soul.

That wasn't fear, but an intuitive reaction to being "confirmed by a higher being".

The Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix looked down at her, the light in its phoenix eyes slowly shifting, as if it were re-examining a crucial artifact that had been mistakenly placed in the dust.

"I can tell from your expression."

Its voice was low and cold, "Even you yourself don't know that such a thing is being nurtured within your Fate Soul."

"Since that's the case," then I'll let you die knowing exactly why.

The moment the words fell, the world seemed to be pulled into a sealed-away ancient time.

The voice of the Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix was no longer just speaking to her, but directly entered her Fate Soul and sea of consciousness, revealing the true essence of that dark golden crystal layer by layer.

The Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow.

That was no ordinary magical artifact, nor was it something obtained through cultivation, much less a rare treasure born of heaven and earth.

That was the core fragment of an ancient Dao artifact.

It coexists with the Annihilation Realm-Breaking Pearl, and was originally intended as a "repair and error-mitigation trump card" reserved for that supreme being.

During the Void Evolution stage, once the causal logic collapses, the cracks expand, and the backlash from the Dao heart goes out of control, this crystal will serve as the only remedy and intervene to repair the damage.

Its origins were so profound that they sent a shiver down Zhou Wanning's spine.

It was formed by combining the core of the Void Evolution foundation of the supreme being, the essence of cause and effect, and a wisp of "true meaning of Annihilation" that was released when the Annihilation Realm-Breaking Pearl shattered.

It's not a copy, not a replacement, but a unique and irreplaceable reservation.

It is sealed within the deepest cracks and folds of the bead, hidden and invisible under normal circumstances. Only when the causal logic of the Void Evolution stage is damaged will it manifest itself, like a calm and cruel patch, forcibly repairing the structure that is about to collapse completely.

Within Zhou Wanning's sea of consciousness, the crystal slowly rotated.

Its surface, a deep gold, is gently entwined with silvery-white causal threads. It feels warm to the touch, as if it never belonged to an external object, but rather was naturally in harmony with her Fate Soul. Every time she forcibly operated with her incomplete Void Evolution origin, every time she was on the verge of collapse due to logical rejection, it was this crystal that secretly guided, mended, and stopped the damage.

Even that she's still alive today.

After consuming the Nameless Root-Returning Grass, she was able to unleash the Wuji True Evolution Flow within her body, directly advancing to the Chaos Realm · Extremity.

It was also because of it. The voice of the Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix echoed deep within her consciousness, cold and resolute:

"Without it, your Fate Soul would have been shattered during the first Void Evolution rejection, leaving not even a trace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Wanning's body trembled violently.

It wasn't because of fear.

It's not because I finally understand, but because I've finally come to understand.

It turned out that such a thing was gestating within her Fate Soul.

The only thing capable of repairing the core of the Annihilation Realm-Breaking Pearl.

At that moment, she truly realized that it was not a "protective item".

That was a causal core powerful enough to attract the personal descent of the Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix.

She slowly raised her head, her white hair fluttering slightly in the cold wind of the icy plains, her chest still heaving violently, the pain in her Fate Soul not yet subsided.

But for the first time, her eyes became incredibly clear.

She finally understood the importance of this Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow.

The Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix lowered its head slightly, its nine wings slowly unfolded, and Annihilation Starflame flowed between its feathers, like a burning sea of stars.

Its voice no longer concealed its cold joy, but instead carried a sense of composure before completing its mission.

"Thought Severance Devouring Emperor, you'll have to reward me handsomely this time."

"If it weren't for that instant Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow spontaneously unleashed its divine power, forcibly diverting you from the final outcome of the 'Unreason Annihilation Chant'..."

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to sense its existence."

Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, like two Ultimate gazes locking onto their prey.

"You should have perished on the spot." But... you survived.

At that moment, Zhou Wanning felt neither anger nor despair.

She knew very well

Standing before her was a being of the Stainless Realm · Supreme, Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix capable of negating the "rationality of existence" with a single thought.

A direct confrontation is pointless; procrastination will only lead to a more cruel outcome.

The only way to survive is summed up in one word.

Escape.

But she also knew that simple spatial teleportation, escape techniques, and boundary jumps were simply ineffective against beings of this level.

The perception of the Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix had already covered the "result layer." Once she had any possibility of "successfully escaping," that result itself would be negated in advance.

So, in that instant, Zhou Wanning did something completely counterintuitive.

She did not flee immediately.

Instead, he actively suppressed all his "intent to escape".

Deep within her Fate Soul, she touched the dark golden Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow for the first time with her will.

It wasn't forced.

It's not about demanding power, but...

It conveys an extremely calm, almost cold-blooded judgment to it.

"Don't fix me."

Don't protect me.

"To make my existence seem... crumbling."

The Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow trembled slightly.

The silvery-white Void Evolution Causality Threads did not extend outward as before, but suddenly contracted inward, as if peeling away, folding, and compressing the "integrity" of her Fate Soul layer by layer.

The next moment

The aura emanating from Zhou Wanning's body began to decline rapidly.

The Chaos Realm · Extremity receded like a tide, and a clear "gap" appeared in her Fate Soul fluctuations, like an object that was losing its repair value, with cracks spreading rapidly.

Her life state was not strengthened, but rather artificially weakened.

In the perception of the Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix

The "Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow" that it truly craved seemed to be forced into a dangerous state of instability, irremovability, and unsafe extraction due to the collapse of its host.

Phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed. It wasn't worried about Zhou Wanning.

Its concern is bone marrow destruction.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Zhou Wanning made his move.

She did not flee to a distant place.

Instead, he suddenly raised his hand and poured all his remaining will into the Desolate Abyss Ice Field beneath his feet.

It's not an attack.

It's not defense.

Instead, it rewrites "the meaning of this place".

The Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow trembled slightly deep within her Fate Soul, releasing an extremely faint yet terrifyingly precise Void Evolution aura.

Following her will, it directly embedded itself into the "historical fault line" of the Desolate Abyss Ice Field, which had long been torn apart by countless Logic Remnants Annihilation, battle, and logic.

At that moment, the entire ice field seemed to have been pressed to an invisible point.

This is no longer a "battlefield".

Here, it is no longer a "traceable spatial coordinate".

And it was forcibly defined as "a place where cause and effect have been completed".

Boom--

The surface of the Desolate Abyss Ice Field did not collapse, nor did the sky crack.

But in the deeper logic and causal structure, this area seems to have been gently closed from the "progressive state" by an invisible hand, thus writing the ending in advance.

The Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix instantly sensed something was wrong.

It suddenly spread its nine wings, the Annihilation Starflame surged, and for the first time, its phoenix cry carried true rage.

"You—!" But it was too late.

At this moment, Zhou Wanning truly escaped.

Not under the identity of "Zhou Wanning".

Not as someone who "possesses the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow".

Instead, it appears as a lingering image of "causality coming to an end."

Her figure left no trace of movement on the ice field; instead, it simply faded in place, like a piece of history that had been written in advance and was being automatically archived by the world.

The next instant, her existence was "sent away" by the Desolate Abyss Ice Field themselves.

It's not teleportation.

It's not a boundary jump.

Rather, it is a natural departure after the causal loop has closed.

The power of the Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix crashed down, completely obliterating the latter half of the entire ice field into nothingness. However, that white-haired figure was no longer among the traceable figures.

Heaven and earth returned to deathly silence.

At the edge of the icy plain, only the Annihilation Starflame slowly burned.

The Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix hovered in the void, its phoenix eyes icy cold.

"... What a lovely little girl."

"They dare to use 'self-destruction' and 'premature termination of cause and effect' to buy a sliver of hope."

It slowly folded its wings, its voice low and dangerous.

You might escape once, but you won't escape a second time.

And in some unknown gap of cause and effect,

Zhou Wanning's consciousness was being carefully enveloped by the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow, falling into an unknown path that had not yet been marked by any other being.

The Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix hovered above the void of the Desolate Abyss Ice Field, its nine wings slowly unfurling, the edges of which reflected a cold, eerie light like blades cleaving across a world.

It did not immediately erupt in fury; instead, it remained silent for a moment amidst the flattened ruins of the icy plain.

Countless intricate and eerie causal patterns emerged deep within the phoenix's eyes, like billions of intertwined threads of fate unfolding, retracing, and recombining in its field of vision.

The next instant, it raised a phoenix claw covered in starlight, its fingertip lightly touching the void.

There was no roar, no burst of light.

The space itself seemed to be slowly peeled away by an invisible hand, revealing the causal framework hidden beneath. It wasn't a conventional spatial rift, but a gray-white passage woven from "results," "traces," and "negated possibilities," with afterimages appearing on both sides of the passage.

Zhou Wanning's faded figure, the logical tremors of causal closure, and the fleeting, non-existent aura of the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow were all forcibly extracted and suspended before Feng Tong.

The Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix spoke coldly, its voice low and sharp, like a final pronouncement before a judgment is handed down.

"The cause and effect have not been severed, and the traces remain."

Even if you write your story as 'completed,' it's just a change in the form of your existence.

Before the phoenix's cry could be heard, an invisible wave of pursuit emanated from its body, extending wildly along the gray-white passage.

Piercing through layers of boundaries, they attempted to re-lock onto the coordinates of the Fate Soul that was sinking into an unknown path.

"Hmph," a cruel smile curled at the corner of its lips, "Let's see where you can run to."

The moment the words left his mouth, the nine wings suddenly flapped.

The void was torn apart into an inverted barrier, with starlight and causal patterns churning at the edge of the rift.

The figure of the Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix transformed into a streak of annihilating light and stepped into it without hesitation.

The crack closed immediately, and the world returned to deathly silence, leaving only the remnants of the ice field, trembling slightly from the aftershocks of the pursuit of logic.

On the other side...

Deep within the Void Obliteration Domain, a place completely unrelated to slaughter, collapse, and the pursuit of cause and effect quietly unfolds in the void.

That was a place called Twilight Star Flower Sea · Yingyuan Plain.

There are no boundaries, no sky; it's as if the entire world itself is a floating dream.

Beneath my feet stretches an endless field of starlight flowers, each bloom seemingly formed from the night and starlight, its petals transparent and soft. As it sways gently, tiny specks of light rise like fireflies.

Then it transformed into a faint starlight mist in mid-air. The distant horizon was not clear, as if it had been smoothed by a layer of gentle light. At the boundary between heaven and earth, a river of light with warm colors flowed slowly, reflecting a tranquil and distant twilight.

A gentle breeze ripples through the sea of flowers, like surging waves of stars, yet without a sound, as if even the wind itself has been gently silenced by this area. A faint fragrance permeates the air, somewhere between flowers and night, making one unconsciously slow their breathing.

In this place that seemed to have been forgotten by time, Qin Yu and Jin Hanyan sat side by side on a rock platform formed from starlight.

Fine strands of light cascaded down the edge of the rocky platform, like waterfalls or curtains, flowing slowly into the Starry Flower Plain below.

Qin Yu turned slightly to let Jin Hanyan lean on his shoulder; her hair shimmered softly in the starlight.

I gently brushed my hand across the side of his neck, feeling a warm, real sensation.

Neither of them spoke.

I simply watched quietly as the river of light that stretched across the sky and earth flowed slowly in the distance, and as the starlight that occasionally lit up and then faded in the sea of flowers.

Watching the tiny specks of light intertwine and dissipate in the air, it's as if they are silently telling a distant and tender story.

At this moment, all the turmoil, conspiracies, pursuits, and collapse of the Void Obliteration Domain were isolated in a very distant place.

Here, there is only tranquility. Only the soft mingling of our breaths.

Qin Yu raised his hand and gently tidied Jin Hanyan's hair, which had been blown about by the breeze, his movements as natural as if he had done it countless times before.

Jin Hanyan gently closed her eyes, a faint but genuine smile appearing on her lips, her forehead resting lightly on his shoulder.

In this romantic, almost unreal, starlit sea of flowers, time seems to lose its meaning.

Behind this tranquility, a fierce pursuit that will shake the Void Obliteration Domain is unfolding.
