The Flaw in Simultaneous Contemplation of Myriad Fates

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

One figure after another stepped out from the Wheel of Fate. In the blink of an eye, Hua Jingmeng on the arena had multiplied from one person to a hundred, then to a thousand, and continued to spread towards an even more astonishing number. These figures were not clones in the ordinary sense; each one came from a future that had truly existed as a possibility, and each Hua Jingmeng carried the complete Dao Intent of the Great Void that had already evolved in that future.

Their faces were identical, but their expressions differed subtly. Some had cold eyes, some had sinister smiles on their lips, some had intense killing intent between their brows, and some even had blood-stained robes, clearly from a future where the two had already experienced a brutal battle.

Countless Hua Jingmeng simultaneously surrounded Qin Yu, while the Silver-Gray Fate Wheel spread across the sky behind them. In an instant, there was no gap in the entire final arena. Hua Jingmeng truly transformed the art of observing Simultaneous Contemplation of Myriad Fates into a killing trap.

The first to act from the east side, a pair of Future Destiny fingers, suddenly descended, the Dao of the Great Void splitting at the fingertips into hundreds of slender, sharp marks that simultaneously slashed into Qin Yu from the side and behind; on the west side, more than ten Hua Jingmeng dispersed almost at the same time, their bodies transforming into streams of light under the activation of the Grand Void Dao Transformation Art, which then transformed into countless constantly shifting fragments of Dao principles.

The location where each fragment fell corresponded to a possible landing point for Qin Yu in the next moment; above, hundreds of future destiny figures simultaneously raised their palms, and Great Void radiance of the void poured down along thousands of destiny wheels, weaving in the sky to form a flowing canopy that covered the entire arena.

A sudden surge of power erupted from the very origin of the Great Void, and the boundless silver-gray radiance transformed into a tidal wave of Dao principles sweeping across heaven and earth.

Before Qin Yu could even take his first step, over thirty Hua Jingmeng had already blocked his retreat to the left; the moment Qin Yu's right shoulder showed a slight sign of raising his sword, hundreds of life wheels reflecting this choice lit up simultaneously, with Hua Jingmeng among them already unleashing her killing move;

Even Qin Yu's choice to remain stationary in the future wasn't overlooked; a dozen or so Destiny Wheels suddenly unfolded directly in front of him, and dozens of Hua Jingmeng simultaneously burst forth from them. Every future was attacking; every choice had already generated its corresponding killing intent.

Hua Jingmeng gave Qin Yu no chance to find a safe destination, because at this moment, the Simultaneous Contemplation of Myriad Fates had turned the "choice" itself into a source of killing intent—as soon as Qin Yu made a decision about his next destination, Hua Jingmeng in the corresponding future would immediately follow that fate line into reality.

Laugh!!!

A Great Void blade swept past Qin Yu's ear, instantly slicing open a rift hundreds of feet long in the space behind him on the arena. Immediately afterward, another future destiny figure swooped down from above the rift.

With a palm strike, the Dao principles that had just gathered around Qin Yu were instantly dragged into dozens of different forms by the source of change; Qin Yu dodged to the side, and before that life form could land, the third, fourth, and fifth future attacks had already arrived one after another from the other life marks.

Bang!!! Qin Yu raised his arm and collided head-on with one of the future destiny images. A powerful source exploded between the two, and Hua Jingmeng's body instantly disintegrated into a large number of silver-gray fragments. However, the fragments had not completely disappeared.

The corresponding Destiny Wheel behind him began to turn again, and a future different from the one before immediately filled the gap. Then, another Hua Jingmeng stepped out from within, raising her palm to press down on Qin Yu's brow.

Clang!!! The Silent Origin Stainless Sword was finally raised.

As the sword swept across, dozens of future destinies rushing towards him were simultaneously severed by the sword intent, and countless silver-gray fragments of light scattered in all directions like a torrential rain. However, as soon as Qin Yu's sword fell, thousands of layers of destiny wheels lit up the entire sky, Hua Jingmeng within those destiny wheels launched a new attack almost at the same moment.

Some pressed down from the sky, some broke out from beneath the arena, some attacked Qin Yu's Fate Soul directly along the causal trails, and some simply merged into the flow of the Great Void, transforming themselves into a formless source of killing intent.

All the attacks, born in different futures, converged in the same reality. From afar, the center of the arena where Qin Yu was located was completely swallowed up by countless crisscrossing silver-gray light traces. Thousands of Hua Jingmeng advanced and retreated at the same time, attacked at the same time, and changed at the same time. The entire battlefield was forcibly dragged into a vast sea of fate where the future was besieging the reality.

Just as this deadly game was fully unfolding, the four referees from the Supreme Transformation Primordial Domain finally had different reactions.

Nalan Yanqing remained seated high above, his plain sleeves hanging at his sides. His aloof expression did not change significantly, but his gaze had already pierced through the Grand Void Fate Wheel and was firmly fixed on Qin Yu.

She watched for a long time, her eyes gradually becoming more serious. While Hua Jingmeng's displayed foundation was enough to make her take her seriously, it was Qin Yu who truly made her gaze linger several times. From the Eternal Tribulation Fate-Determining Wheel the current Simultaneous Contemplation of Myriad Fates, the level of challenges Qin Yu faced had increased time and time again, yet even now, his Fate Soul aura remained completely undisturbed.

Nalan Yanqing's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a silent whisper traveled across the distance between the two seats, reaching Xuanyuan Canglan's ears. "It seems the grudge between Hua Jingmeng and Qin Yu is quite deep. Today's battle has gradually deviated from ordinary sparring."

Xuanyuan Canglan did not turn his head. He continued to look at the arena, his eyes flashing with a faint light. Especially after Qin Yu swept away dozens of future destiny signs with a single sword strike, his admiration was even more undisguised.

Nalan Yanqing paused briefly, his gaze sweeping over the Hua Lineage's camp in the distance. His voice transmitted again, "If Qin Yu, such a promising talent, truly manages to kill Hua Jingmeng in the final battle, the Hua Lineage will not stand idly by. If anyone breaks the rules of the arena, you and I will have to intervene. It would be a pity if such a person were to perish here because of the grudges between the Lineage. He is an invaluable asset to both your Xuanyuan Lineage and my Nalan Lineage."

Xuanyuan Canglan's admiration deepened, and he nodded slightly without saying anything more. His gaze towards Qin Yu was completely different from before. It was possible for a young cultivator to occasionally decipher a profound divine ability, which could be attributed to chance and inheritance. But to reach the final battle and be able to quickly grasp the essence of the opponent in every clash of different Daos, this level of comprehension was difficult to measure by ordinary talent.

On the other side, Murong Yunche frowned slightly. She looked at Qin Yu, who was constantly dodging and weaving amidst the thousands of life-threatening figures surrounding him in the center of the arena. The words she had just spoken about "killing Hua Jingmeng" had clearly displeased her.

Her gaze darkened slightly, and she immediately transmitted her voice to Nangong Xingyun: "Xingyun, isn't Qin Yu, the outside aid from the Chi Lineage, far too disregarding the rules of the competition? The final is supposed to be Four Great Lineage Grand Competition, yet he publicly declared that he would kill Hua Jingmeng. Isn't that far too arrogant?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xingyun's gaze swept only briefly over Qin Yu, his eyes showing no admiration but rather a faint hint of disdain. His lips twitched slightly, while a sinister scheme, hidden from view, lingered deep within his eyes.

He replied telepathically, "Junior Sister, don't worry. This Qin Yu is nothing but a clown. He relied on a few methods to deconstruct propositions to get here, and he really thinks he can overpower his peers. Hua Jingmeng's true strength is far above his." He looked at the Simultaneous Contemplation of Myriad Fates that filled the sky, his eyes growing increasingly deep.

"Since he made those remarks himself today, it's all for the best. If Hua Jingmeng Annihilation him in the confrontation, no one else can say anything. We can then act accordingly." Nangong Xingyun lightly tapped the armrest of his chair, and when his gaze turned to Hua Jingmeng, a look of determination finally appeared in his eyes. "As for Hua Jingmeng... my Nangong Lineage is determined to have her. Let's wait and see."

Murong Yunche did not speak after hearing this, but turned his gaze back to the arena.

The four judges, all at the Void Emanation Realm, remained seated, not making a single unnecessary movement to each other. However, even before the final battle had truly entered its most intense phase, their opinions on the two young men on the stage had already diverged drastically.

At this moment, Qin Yu, who was being besieged by countless future figures, finally showed a very subtle change in his eyes. He had already destroyed hundreds of future destinies of Hua Jingmeng.

But he didn't pursue eliminating more, because it was pointless.

When one future destiny disappears, another destiny mark will immediately fill the gap; when ten future destinies are severed, the Great Void Flow will generate dozens of variations from the remaining destiny marks. Hua Jingmeng's true reliance has never been on these figures that emerge from the future, nor on the astonishing number of Eternal Tribulation Fate Wheel above her head.

Qin Yu's eyes slowly rotated the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel, and the extremely complex fate marks in the sky gradually layered in his perception. The first layer was the future fate signs that were constantly being made; the second layer was the Eternal Tribulation Fate Wheel of Fate that carried those fate signs; further inward was the Great Void Origin that connected all the Wheels of Fate and allowed different futures to fall into reality at the same time.

As the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel continued to be read and interpreted more deeply, all the complex changes suddenly began to become clear.

No matter how many cycles of destiny there are, no matter how many futures exist, no matter how many possibilities Hua Jingmeng can emerge from—at the deepest part of all the Fate Traces of the Great Void, there is a wisp of the same Fate Soul aura.

Hua Jingmeng, the Nine-Wheel Dharma Wheel deep within Qin Yu's pupils paused for a moment. He discovered that while the Simultaneous Contemplation of Myriad Fates simultaneously allowed Hua Jingmeng to observe countless destinies at the same time, it could not conjure up countless truly independent Hua Jingmeng out of thin air.

Every future can be observed, and every destiny can move from the future into reality, because it requires an initial "observer." Hua Jingmeng can allow her existence to infinitely change among all destinies, and can allow each future to have a different self, but she cannot allow those selves to deviate from the original essence of her Fate Soul.

All fates are different, but the observer is unique. Qin Yu slowly lowered the Silent Origin Stainless Sword in his hand.

This scene, witnessed by countless spectators on the periphery, immediately caused a stir. Many elders of the Hua Lineage even sneered, believing that Qin Yu was finally exhausted under the endless onslaught. Only Nalan Yanqing and Xuanyuan Canglan, high above, narrowed their eyes almost simultaneously.

Because Qin Yu showed no signs of defeat at all; on the contrary, his eyes grew increasingly calm.

Another "Hua Jingmeng came from the Wheel of Fate, but Qin Yu didn't even look at it, only slightly turning his body to avoid the Great Void mark; the second "Fate Image" pressed down from behind with a palm, but he still didn't turn around, and casually swung the Silent Origin Stainless Sword horizontally behind him.

Clang!!! The Great Void light collided with the sword's edge, and the future destiny image was knocked back dozens of feet. Qin Yu, however, had been watching the real Hua Jingmeng from beginning to end.

The wheels of destiny continued to turn, countless futures were still being born and dying, and thousands of Hua Jingmeng continued to approach from all directions. But in Qin Yu's eyes, the once complex and almost endless sea of destiny had begun to gradually shed all its branches and leaves, leaving only a main vein of Fate Soul hidden in the deepest part of countless futures, running through all the wheels of destiny.

Qin Yu slowly tightened his grip on the sword hilt, and the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel approached the source layer by layer along the main vein. He was no longer prepared to continue slaying those futures.

Since all lives originate from the same source, then let us sever that source.
