Within the Transcendent Five-Dimensional Space, the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow continues to slowly rotate among the three.
On the surface of the dark gold crystal, the silvery-white causal threads pulsated gently, as if they were listening.
Qin Yu's gaze was calm, yet even more profound than before. "The key is—"
He spoke slowly. "Now, the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor knows that the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow is within your body."
The air was slightly chilly. "It won't stop." "It will search the entire Void Obliteration Domain." "Logical pursuit, destiny locking, causal reversal... it will approach you sooner or later."
Zhou Yujin's expression instantly turned serious. Qin Yu continued, "What's even more serious is—"
"If the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor truly breaks the seal, allowing the forbidden Demon Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable, to awaken..."
"Then it won't Wanning's problem alone." "At that time—" "The outer and middle layers of Source of Epochless will be engulfed in slaughter."
His voice was deep, but not exaggerated. It was a judgment made with Ultimate calmness. Zhou Yujin's breathing became noticeably rapid. "Brother Qin... what should we do?"
His fist slowly clenched. "Can we... stop the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor?" Zhou Wanning, on the contrary, was not afraid of the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor.
What she truly feared was that name. She had known since she was very young that the Void Obliteration Domain sealed away a Demonic Phoenix, Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable, whose cultivation was at the Realm Breaking Realm · Supreme.
Once awake, she became the catalyst. She slowly raised her head to look at Qin Yu, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "Brother Qin..."
Her voice trembled slightly. "Then... then if I..." She didn't finish her sentence.
Zhou Yujin instantly guessed. "No!" He stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders tightly. "Absolutely not, sister!"
Zhou Wanning bit her lip. "If I disappear... destroy my own Fate Soul... will I also disappear along with the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow?"
The air seemed to compress. Qin Yu slowly looked at her, his gaze gentle yet firm. "It's no use."
He said softly, "Even if you willingly shatter your Fate Soul," the "Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow" will not disappear. It will find a new host, and then slumber again, and awaken once more.
"It's just that someone else is bearing the burden." "The calamity is merely delayed."
Zhou Wanning's hand slowly fell to his sides. The dark gold crystal core suddenly trembled slightly, as if resisting the thought.
She lowered her head, her eyes slightly red. "Then what should I do..." Qin Yu didn't let the silence continue.
He looked at the brother and sister and slowly began to speak. "Actually," he said, "I have two solutions." Zhou Yujin suddenly looked up, Zhou Wanning also looked at him at the same time.
Qin Yu didn't speak immediately. Instead, he reached out his hand, Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow slowly flew into the space three inches above his palm.
The dark golden light magnified slightly. Silver-white causal threads intertwined in the air, forming a complex pattern of destiny.
"Rather than passively hiding," he said, his gaze turning slightly cold, "It would be better to actively lure it out."
The air fell silent. Zhou Yujin was shocked. "Brother Qin... what do you mean?"
Qin Yu slowly said, "Since the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor is searching for it, then let's give it a 'definite location'."
"But that location—" "Not Wanning." The Void Evolution Causality Threads suddenly lit up completely.
As if understanding those words, Zhou Wanning's heart raced. "Brother Qin... what do you want to do?"
Qin Yu turned his gaze to her. "I can temporarily construct a 'causal substitution circuit' for you."
"Projecting the external destiny trajectory of the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow."
"Creating a false impression." "Making the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor believe it has locked onto its target." "While the real you—" "Completely disappears into the blind spot of cause and effect."
Zhou Yujin gasped. "Then... that stand-in?" Qin Yu asked calmly. "I will take that role."
The air seemed to freeze. Zhou Wanning shook his head violently. "No!" Zhou Yujin also changed. "Brother Qin, this is too dangerous!"
Qin Yu merely smiled. "The danger was coming for me anyway." "Rather than letting it chase Wanning," "it's better to—" "Let it come to me."
The Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow Rotated slightly in front of his palm. The dark golden light slowly approached him, as if acknowledging his presence.
Zhou Wanning's voice trembled. "But... if something happens to you..."
Qin Yu said softly, "I'll be fine." "And—" his eyes were deep. "This might also be our chance to launch a counterattack against the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor."
Within the Transcendent Five-Dimensional Space.
The Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow floated in mid-air, its dark gold crystal slowly rotating, and its silvery-white causal threads extended and contracted like countless lifelines, reflecting the solemn expressions of the three people.
Qin Yu looked at Zhou Yujin and Zhou Wanning, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke again. "Then the second method."
His tone was no longer sharp, but extremely calm. "Take Wanning out of the Source of Epochless."
Both of them were startled.
Qin Yu continued, "To be honest, when I stepped into the outer reaches of the Source of Epochless, I personally created a realm of my own."
"It is called -- Annihilation Abyss Epoch." As he uttered these three words, the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow trembled slightly.
"That realm has its own set of rules, beyond the jurisdiction of the Temple of the Source of Epochless." "My beloved and my sworn brothers are all guarding that realm."
"If Wanning is sent to the Annihilation Abyss Epoch," "the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor will have no chance of finding him in a short time."
Zhou Yujin's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's a good idea, Brother Qin!" But Zhou Wanning showed no joy whatsoever.
She slowly lowered her head. "Brother Qin... no." Both of them looked at her. "If I go to your Great Realm..." "What if the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor finds my whereabouts?"
"It will still raise its army and slaughter." "Then it won't just be me who suffers." "It will be your entire realm."
She raised her head, her eyes resolute yet slightly red. "You said your dearest love and your best friend are in that realm." "I can't let myself... harm them."
The space fell silent. Qin Yu didn't answer immediately. His gaze deepened. Ruishan, Qingwan, Yunyi —those names gently surfaced in his mind.
He knew very well that if the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor truly targeted the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, it would be a true war of destruction.
The Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow vibrated slightly, as if it too were sensing this choice.
Qin Yu slowly closed his eyes. The next instant, his consciousness sank into his sea of consciousness. Above his sea of consciousness, the Void Divine Tree soared into the Entering Stillness sky.
Countless beams of light flowed slowly among the branches and leaves like shooting stars.
Azure Ring was lying on a divine branch. Her small figure was lying on her side. Her long, dark blue hair hung down, with faint blue flames flickering at the ends.
She was sleeping soundly, her breathing even, and even her soul wheel floated quietly behind her.
Qin Yu stood before the Void Divine Tree, suddenly frowning slightly. "Why have I been so sleepy lately?"
His voice was gentle, tinged with worry. He slowly approached, his fingertips lightly touching her shoulder.
"Azure Ring." There was no response. Qin Yu smiled helplessly and gently patted her again. "Wake up." "There's a problem; I need you to think of a solution."
Azure Ring's little nose wrinkled slightly. The tip of her blue flame twitched. Then she slowly opened her light Azure Ring eyes.
The swirling, Annihilation Pattern slowly lit up. She sat up, half-asleep. "Hmm... Little Qinzi... what's wrong...?"
The voice still trembled with sleep. "Azure Ring, I've found the person carrying the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow; they're right beside me."
Azure Ring lazily sat up, dangling her little feet on the branch, and looked out through Qin Yu's sea of consciousness.
The dark gold crystal core was floating in front of Zhou Wanning, with silver-white "Void Evolution Causality Threads" winding around it like veins, emitting an ethereal aura that subtly resonated with the rhythm of her Fate Soul.
Azure Ring suddenly opened her eyes wide and stood up excitedly. "Wow, Little Qinzi, it really is the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow,' hehe."
Qin Yu, however, remained solemn.
"Azure Ring, this is a very tricky situation. Although we have found the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow, how can we evade the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor's pursuit while also saving that woman's life?"
Azure Ring tilted her head, looking at the crystal core, a small smile playing on her lips. "Hehe. This is easy."
She leaped lightly from the sacred tree, her bare feet touching the void, the delicate chain around her ankle making a soft "clang."
"The key isn't how to dodge," she said, "but rather—" She raised her small hand and gently tapped the air.
Outside, within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, a wisp of extremely fine azure soul thread extended out, gently touching the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow.
Azure Ring's voice rang clearly in his mind.
"The reason why the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow was targeted by the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor is because its 'causal fluctuations' are still within the Source of Epochless."
"Although it now recognizes Wanning its master, its 'logic of affiliation' still belongs to the Void Obliteration Domain."
"Therefore—as long as it remains within this main causal framework, it will definitely be tracked."
Qin Yu's gaze sharpened. "You mean...?" Azure Ring smiled gently. "Change its causal coordinates."
She said slowly, "It's not transferring the host. It's not sealing. It's not hiding. It's—"
"Let the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow disappear from the Source of Epochless at the 'causal level'."
Qin Yu asked in a deep voice, "Disappeared from the Source of Epochless?? How exactly did you disappear?" Azure Ring crossed her arms, her tone becoming serious.
"First step."
"Use your [Three Forms of Fate Construction Structure: Cause and Effect Deconstruction] to temporarily dismantle the 'primary causal bond' between Wanning and Source of Epochless."
"Remember, it's not about severing her Fate Soul." "It's about making her, in the causal structure, a 'variable not recognized by the world.'"
"Step two." "I'll take action." The blue lines in her eyes slowly rotated.
"Using the fundamental logic of the Silent Origin Wheel Prison, I overwrote the 'host record' of the 'Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow' into the 'Silent Realm Opening Chapter'."
Simply put, "from now on," the host of the "Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow" will no longer be Zhou Wanning, but rather the Silent Realm.
Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat. "What will happen to her?" Azure Ring looked at Zhou Wanning outside, her voice unusually gentle.
"She won't lose the crystal core." "The Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow is still within her body." "But in the causal record, its 'attribute' has been rewritten."
"It's like a book with its cover torn off and rebound." "When others flip through the book, they only see blank pages." "They can't see her."
Qin Yu was silent for a moment. "That Thought Severance Devouring Emperor?" Azure Ring shrugged. "It will continue to seek out the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow."
"But it won't find its target." "Because from the perspective of the primary cause-and-effect logic of the Source of Epochless..."
"This crystal core is no longer within any existing host body." "It has become a 'Silent Realm Variable'."
She smiled slightly. "Unless it can deduce the Silent Realm itself, otherwise—" "It will never catch up. Even if it stands in front of Zhou Wanning, as long as Zhou Wanning doesn't activate the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow, it won't be able to sense that the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow is within her body."
Qin Yu's eyes lit up immediately. "Wow, it had to be you! Okay, I'm going out to tell her."
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes. Outside, Zhou Wanning and Zhou Yujin were watching him nervously.
The Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow slowly rotated in the air, its dark gold luster shimmering slightly.
Qin Yu spoke softly, "Wanning. I have a plan." And it's perfect, but the process will be very dangerous.
But if we succeed, we can perfectly hide the fish. "Do you believe me?"
Zhou Wanning n't hesitate at all. "I'm willing." Zhou Yujin nodded solemnly as well.
Qin Yu looked at the two of them calmly. "Then what's next?" "Don't resist."
He raised his hand. The causal lines of the Three Forms of Fate Construction silently unfolded at his fingertips. The Cause and Effect Deconstruction was about to begin.
