Long after the performance Yan Yue had not yet subsided; Qin Yu's slaying of his enemy and sealing of a soul with a single seal still echoed like a phantom in the eyes of the audience. After this battle, two unexpected trajectories were suddenly written into the "Epoch Battle Register" of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall.
[Record of the Record: Qin Yu · Yan Yue]
[Level Label: New Epoch Practitioner - Practical Combat Skill Assessment - High Level]
The sealed battle record data was like a stone falling into a deep abyss, stirring up a tsunami of public opinion among the disciples within the discipline.
Law Observation Platform North Tower Level
"Did you see it with your own eyes? That Qin Yu killed He Huilin with his very first move. That's no ordinary Enforcer, he's one of the top twenty in the Enforcer's ranks!"
"Yan Yue is truly ruthless. She didn't just defeat Yan Sezhou; she logically eliminated her."
"Could they really be inheritors of some prehistoric remnant high structure?"
"I don't believe it. Without any prerequisite component recognition, and without a component chain number for the skill, what makes you think you can be given a high-level ranking?"
"It looks strong, but without a logical structure recognized by the system, it will be exposed as nothing by the Discernment Department sooner or later."
"Vice Commander Yu is right. The two of them will inevitably become a misrecorded record when Epoch Origin collapses."
Construct Chain Battle Group - Discussion among Melee Class Disciples
"I actually think it's great. Those guys at the Epoch Core aren't some kind of infallible geniuses; they're always reviewing all sorts of rules and regulations, and these two newcomers just blew them away."
"Especially Yan Yue, she didn't just win, she disassembled and rewrote a logical entity in front of all the elders."
"This is no longer a contest of skills; this is—writing 'the truth of construction'."
"Don't exaggerate too much. They won because Yu Yuance underestimated the pace of the battle."
"Did you see that clearly? Qin Yu's skills don't have a stable life-structure coordinate—this type of person's later growth path is extremely unstable."
"What a seemingly sourceless being fears most is being deconstructed and having its soul traced."
The Temple Guide and his junior disciples whispered among themselves.
"The higher-ups probably won't let them off the hook."
"Yan Yue's 'Annihilating Dawn Final Guide' triggered a feedback fluctuation in the Epoch Core... That's not an ordinary construct; it's a 'starting page' beyond the observation records."
"Those two... may have triggered some kind of 'Epoch Origin Warning Node'."
Meanwhile, in the distance, on a side staircase of the "Law Wind Tower," a female disciple with minimal clothing and no inscriptions leaned against the ceiling and softly uttered a sentence:
"Qin Yu... Yan Yue... Ha."
"This is finally getting interesting."
She gently turned her wrist, and a fragment of a book that had not yet been opened trembled slightly in her palm—it was the reservation voucher for [Future Rank Battle - Master Review].
She looked up at Ji Guang high in the sky, leaving only a whispered sentence:
"I'll be waiting for you... on the third floor."
No more than a day after the Epoch Battle, an invisible wind seemed to have swept through the entire Eternal Evolution Realm Hall.
This wind did not originate from the weather or the moving magic array, but was formed by the convergence of the gazes, thoughts, and soul fluctuations of countless disciples within the cycle. It did not scatter anything, but instead opened all the paths leading to Qin Yu and Yan Yue's residence.
Outside the Source Observation Hall, the once quiet Space Silence Xuan Stone Steps are now lined with visiting disciples.
Some carried "component gift certificates," some held "task scrolls," and others held "undefined skill annotation drafts," all with the appearance of "exchanging and learning," but in reality, their eyes were gleaming and full of ulterior motives.
⸻
"I am a seventh-level disciple of the Observing Abyss Law Hall, and I have come to present the performance score I performed the other day. If you two friends are available, you may study and analyze it together."
"This is a 'Nine-Resolution Cause Shell Stone' that I obtained from the Temple Market. I wish to offer it to Senior Brother Qin Yu as a small token of my appreciation."
"Ahem, I have a 'Gig Quest' that I need to form a team for. If either of you is willing to join, you can both give up your points..."
-
Yan Yue silent, only adjusting the barrier around her residence to a "soul-blocking" state, so that no matter who knocked on the door, there was no response.
Qin Yu sat in the hall, looking at the mountain of "applications for observation of techniques," "invitations for logic research," and "list of trusted confidants recommending themselves"—his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were carefully noting down each name.
They never verbally refused, yet they never allowed anyone to truly get any closer.
Rumors also began to circulate in Taiwan:
"I heard that Qin Yu ignored even the third-tier envoys of the temple, and even when Elder Lunsi sent someone to invite him, he was blocked outside the barrier."
"Yan Yue is ruthless. She directly sealed off the three layers of space in front of the gate with the Xi Jing light. Any disciple who dared to enter was affected and their soul collapsed after three days."
"Do you think they wouldn't... want to challenge the entire ritual system of the Epoch Core?"
However, beneath this facade of "rushing to try it out," some shrewd strategists had already discerned another underlying trend:
Those who truly want to get close to them will never truly get close.
What we should really be wary of is that they did not actively accept any faction, yet they were able to quietly create divisions among the various factions of the Ji Palace.
They haven't officially advertised for hire, but everyone is vying for the position closest to them.
They did not initiate an alliance, but the entire Eternal Evolution Realm Hall had quietly begun to split into two factions—those who recognized them as the true creators, and those who were waiting for them to be "judged."
One night, I gazed at the Jitai Terrace from afar.
A female scribe, dressed in a robe with long, piercing lines and three rings floating in her eyes, stood beneath the sky wall, gazing in the direction of the Source Observation Hall, and uttered a soft murmur:
"If this continues... they'll become 'core influential figures within the discipline' before they even reach the disciplinary level."
She turned around, her robe fell away, and a silver bar bearing the inscription "First-Class Court Law Enforcement Notice" slid out from her sleeve.
"Advance contact is necessary."
"Before Ji Yin resorts to even stronger measures."
The wind continued to blow that night.
But everyone knows—this is no longer just an echo of fame.
Rather, it is the "unrecorded name" that has already caused coordinate disturbances at the component level within this hall.
Night had fallen, the wind had died down and the grass had settled outside the Source Observation Hall. The barrier was still intact, but an extremely subtle soul aura quietly passed through Yan Yue "Dawnlight Counter-Realm" set up by Yan Yue and the logical isolation zone set up by Qin Yu with the "Fate Seal Master Ring".
The next moment, before the door opened, a figure quietly appeared on the stone steps in front of the hall.
She wore a pure white judge's robe, the hem of which was as straight as the edge of a book of records. Her eyes had no pupils, but three silver-gray consciousness rings slowly floated around them. Within each consciousness ring was a miniature light image of the entire Epoch Battle Arena.
Qin Yu and Yan Yue knew at a glance that this person was no ordinary person.
This person, whose name is Shi Huan, is a third-order examiner Shu Xunyan.
The only "Three-Construct Judgment Scribe" in office within the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall's Adjudication Group possesses the independent authority to access the Epoch Battle Register and intervene in the judgment results. She Bugui the jurisdiction of Yu Yuance, nor does she receive orders from any court master.
She is the one who writes the story of "discretion" above the act of trial.
Yan Yue withdrew the Dawn Realm, Qin Yu slowly opened the Life Seal Barrier. The two did not greet her, but merely looked at her indifferently.
Shu Xunyan did not bow, but merely raised his eyes, his gaze as clear as the bottom of Realm Mirror:
"I don't like making alliances, nor am I good at appeasing enemies."
"I'm only interested in 'constructors with unconventional features'."
She paused, put her hands behind her back, and spoke in a flat tone:
"You two are the first people in nearly three centuries to see hope within the 'Soul Rank Beyond the Epoch'."
I won't ask you where you come from, nor will I ask you where you're going.
I'll only say one thing.
The three rings in her eyes suddenly moved simultaneously, her voice as sharp as a pen cutting through pages, her words becoming an absolute decree the moment they landed:
"From this day forward, whether it's Yu Yuance, the Law and Decree Hall, or any other scribe who dares to attack you—they are attacking me Shu Xunyan."
"Now that I have signed my name, I swear by the Three Rings: whoever touches you is my enemy."
A moment of silence fell over the hall.
Yan Yue's gaze flickered slightly, but she remained silent.
Qin Yu slowly raised his eyes and, for the first time in front of all those who had finished testing, made a gesture:
He nodded slightly, placed his right hand on his chest, and the circular life seal glowed softly.
No words were spoken, no vows were made.
But this is the only time to date that he has responded to anyone else in the group.
Shu Xunyan's lips twitched slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips, and the ring of consciousness gradually faded.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to write more pages."
She tilted slightly, transformed into a pale silver light, and vanished into the night sky without a trace.
However, from this moment on, the highest levels of the entire Eternal Evolution Realm Hall understood:
Qin Yu and Yan Yue are no longer considered to be without support.
They were personally marked by the Three-Ring Oathbearer as the Unalterable.
Shu Xunyan has been gone for a long time, traces of her soul's tremors still remain in the Source Observation Hall.
Yan Yue sat quietly on her mat, saying nothing, her gaze still fixed on the direction where she had vanished, as if weighing the weight of that vow. Qin Yu, on the other hand, lowered his brows in deep thought, the Fate Cause Master Seal in his palm trembling slightly, as if resonating with some higher-dimensional echo.
After a long silence, Yan Yue finally parted her lips slightly:
"She's not here to form an alliance."
Qin Yu responded calmly, "She's here to take a stand."
Yan Yue slightly, a glimmer of calm and restraint appearing in her eyes. "But her stance is, for the time being, trustworthy."
In silence, Qin Yu rose, walked to the outside of the hall with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the law wall that stretched across the sky deep within the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall. His gaze remained unchanged, but his tone was as low as the law of destiny:
"The Source of Epochless is too vast."
"Even if the two of us can kill the enemy, it will only be a page of blood-written history."
"But what we need to change is the entire manuscript of the book."
He turned around, his gaze meeting Yan Yue's eyes, each word like a hammer blow:
"Then we need pen and ink, and also paper."
"And Shu Xunyan was the first person to give us paper."
Yan Yue nodded gently, and a ray of sunlight slid down from her sleeve, casting a pale golden arc on the ground.
Her voice was cold and indifferent.
"From this moment forward, we bear her oath."
"But if she breaks her oath—we will write her down as well on the [final page]."
After Shu Xunyan left, the hall fell silent once more.
But the silence did not last long.
Before half an hour had passed, a delicate and quiet footstep passed through the enclosed space outside the Source Observation Hall and landed lightly and quietly on the black stone steps.
The door wasn't pushed open, but under Qin Yu's unwavering gaze, it slowly opened a crack on its own.
She was a young woman dressed in plain clothes, her hair tied up tightly, holding a silver box in her hands, her demeanor gentle and not humble.
She did not reveal her origins, but only whispered:
"By order of the Three-Ring Adjudicator, I present two volumes of cultivation manuals. The implication is clear: 'This is not a gift, but merely a token of our covenant.'"
She raised both hands and placed the box between the mats on the floor in front of the hall.
After saying that, he turned and left silently, without looking back.
Qin Yu slowly stepped forward, gently opened the box, and saw two scrolls of records lying quietly inside:
One of them has black gold gilding, and its spine is inscribed with a four-character Mystic Seal: "Fate Principle Reflection Severance).
The other is a long scroll in white, with an inscription at the beginning as sharp as a knife cutting through bone—"The Light Abyss Return to the Beginning".
He and Yan Yue exchanged a glance. Without saying a word, they each reached out and took their respective scrolls into their sea of consciousness.
The moment the two beams of light entered between their brows, the space inside the hall trembled slightly, and even deep within the Ji Terrace, it seemed as if an indescribable "sound of causal misalignment" resounded.
Yan Yue spoke softly:
"She was prepared long ago."
Qin Yu quietly closed the box lid, his eyes losing their gleam:
She's not betting on us.
"She is—building a 'legal path' to victory in advance."
The moment the two structural boxes sank into the sea of consciousness, the world seemed to stand still.
In Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, a shattered Destiny Wheel slowly rose, ancient and majestic like a monument, revealing one dark destiny track after another, like inscriptions flowing backward, Death Book. He closed his eyes and concentrated, only to see that the five forms were like five stars floating in the sky, their brilliance not yet fully revealed, yet already possessing the power to destroy all worlds.
"The Five Methods of Fate Principle Reflection Severance"
1. The Sever Fate and Observe the Wheel - When the Wheel of Fate shatters, the path stops. All fragments of the enemy's fate are reflected in the monument, then shattered by a single palm strike. The future is severed, and existence can no longer be extended.
2. Attribution Total Erasure -- The chain of cause and effect emerges like a spider web. Qin Yu's finger falls into it, and the reasons for the enemy's existence are broken one by one, turning into component ashes.
3. Fate Reflection Illusory Enforcement – A mirror of fate appears in the air, reflecting the enemy's final moments and forcibly bringing them into reality. The enemy feels as if they have seen themselves die a thousand times, and their soul shatters.
4. Erase the Name to Ashes -- Void pages appear, Qin Yu uses his finger as a pen to cross out the enemy's name, the world logic responds to the clearing mechanism, and the enemy's soul is extracted from the world.
5. The Fate's End, One Question – He stood before the monument and posed the sole question, "What makes you exist?" If the enemy cannot logically justify their existence, the world will immediately execute the Annihilation order, ending in complete annihilation.
At the same time, in Yan Yue's sea of consciousness, a sealed scroll of the Dawn White Scripture slowly opened. The pages were blank, yet it seemed as if all books were returning to their origin. She gently placed her finger, and the light flowing from the Dawn Abyss immediately reversed the boundaries of time. Five magnificent battle techniques emerged from the scroll, as dazzling as the first light, yet concealing the fate of destruction.
The Light Abyss Return to the Beginning - Five Styles
1. Light Mirror Evolves the Abyss: A giant mirror appears, reflecting all of the enemy's skills and fate. When the mirror explodes, all of the enemy's spells are reversed and returned to the Return to the Abyss, as if they had never been used.
2. The Dawn Burns the Fate Manuscript - The Dawn's Flame ignites from the tip of the Heavenly Book, burning not the physical body, but the "manuscript principle" of the enemy's existence, causing the components to shatter like ashes.
3. Book Pages Cover the Void – The pages become empty, revealing all the enemy's actions. When Yan Yue the page, the enemy's actions become "misinterpretations," causing the logic to collapse.
4. The Light's Beginning, First Words – She used light as a pen to rename the enemy – but the new name is empty. The enemy immediately loses its world coordinates and can no longer be "addressed by rules".
5. The Light Abyss Return to the Beginning: Silent Book: Chapter Zero - The Ultimate technique is revealed. The wordless pages unfold, and before the enemy even exists, she tears apart its "Initial Chapter," turning the enemy into an "unwritable thing," and completely annihilating the world beyond its proposition.
The two opened their eyes at the same time. The light in their sea of consciousness had not yet dissipated, but they had already sunk into the deepest part of their souls.
Qin Yu chuckled softly, the Wheel of Fate in his palm trembling slightly; Yan Yue with her sleeves covering her face, the radiance of the sun like the tip of a brush, leaving Wuhen in the void, yet concealing profound meaning.
They didn't speak, but they both understood—
The pen that could truly rewrite the Source of Epochless was finally in his own hands.
