The Star Key Enters the Mind · Five Laws Destroy Treasures

Everything reversed, and the illusion collapsed.

Within the starlight of the ancient palace, three figures appeared simultaneously. It was the instant the gate to the illusion closed, and also the beginning of the return of destiny to its source. In the silent space, the stars continued to turn in the hourglass, but the center of the ancient palace was no longer as quiet as it had been.

The first ray of light illuminated the Silent Abyss.

Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes. The chains of fate around his body rapidly reconstructed. In his sea of consciousness, the rings of light reversed, and countless shattering forces surrounded his body. Ultimate aura of the Final Cycle Realm, centered on him, covered the entire ancient palace grounds. Beneath his feet were what appeared to be shattered traces of reincarnation, and behind him, a phantom of Azure Ring reflecting destiny surrounded him. Azure-gold light emerged from his eyes, slashing out diagonally like a divine revelation, dividing the boundary between heaven and earth into two ends. Even the flowing starry hourglass atop the ancient palace paused for a moment.

He stepped out, his clothes unmoved, yet he seemed to be the master of the entire "order of cause and effect." The spiritual energy lay dormant in his hand, and within his sea of consciousness, [Realm Abyss Reverse Evolution] and [Spirit Filth Annihilates Heaven] had sunk to the deepest part of the source of law. At this moment, he was no longer merely a newborn of the temple, but a candidate writer of the future destiny order of the Source of Epochless.

The second ray of light illuminates the Dawn Abyss.

Yan Yue materialized, her body enveloped in a slowly rising aura of annihilation and light. Beneath her feet, Annihilation Dawn -shaped Radiance Dawn Abyss Array appeared, light and silence rising and falling simultaneously. Her eyes were crystal clear, like the first light in a mirror, a single glance seemingly able to reveal the very essence of an enemy's destiny. Her realm had already surpassed the limit of the Final Wheel, stepping into the [Annihilation Lord Realm - Initial Stage]. This was an existence that truly grasped the "sovereignty of the rules of annihilation."

A phoenix cry drifted from afar beside her.

Its entire body was pure white, and it was ethereal and formless. Its figure was like a phoenix, like light, and Annihilation Abyss radiant flames were like waves. It arrived with a tremor from the end of the Abyss. [Absolute Abyss Dawn Phoenix] slowly appeared. Its tail feathers were feathers of annihilation, and its eyes were the light of the first dawn. It simply floated in the air, and the ancient palace suddenly fell silent. All the rules were lost and annihilated with the wave of its feather.

She remained silent, yet she was already the most enigmatic presence in the entire room, impossible to look directly at. As the light shifted, all hostile structures would crumble and perish.

The third ray of light—converging three flames.

Yunyi returned from the illusion and took a light step. Her figure was no longer the Yunyi had been when she first entered the illusion.

At this moment, three supreme rings swirled around her.

The first ring, with its abyss-like black flames, surged with destructive causal fire, swallowing up all surrounding false existence;

The second ring, purple lightning pierced the sky, enveloping the soul's consciousness like the sovereignty of a thunder domain, shattering the enemy's origin of their proposition;

The third ring, radiant with golden light, signifies the awakening glory of the dragon soul's true form, revealing its supreme status across all realms.

Behind her, three dragon shadows faintly echoed: the Black Abyss Dragon, the Purple-Gold Dragon, and the Radiant Gold Dragon. These were the Three Extremes Dragon Soul that she had destroyed in the illusion with her ultimate technique [Silent Abyss Single Gaze], and then unified with her will and merged with her soul consciousness.

She didn't say a word, just stood there smiling, her clothes and hair dancing like shooting stars, her eyes sparkling with starlight. At that moment, she was no longer just a fighter below Qin Yu, but a unique Tri-Dragon Lord who transformed her soul into a dragon and resonated with the theme.

The three stood side by side in the center of the ancient hall: one held the reins of Final Wheel, one Annihilation Dawn Soul, and one transformed into the master soul of the Three Extremes.

The ancient temple was silent, only the starlight and myriad phenomena on the ceiling illuminated their no longer identical trajectories.

As the sand gently falls, time seems to stand still.

Yan Yue slowly raised her head, the light in her eyes not yet completely dissipated. It was the afterglow of shattering the Annihilation Dawn Silent Wheel, and also the true mark of her stepping into the Annihilation Lord Realm.

She looked at Qin Yu ahead, her lips slightly moving. "You, at the Final Wheel your Ultimate, are even faster than I imagined." Her words were gentle, yet they held a tranquility she had never known before.

Qin Yu's lips curved into a slight smile, his gaze as gentle as ever. In that instant, even the vastness of heaven and earth paled in comparison to the starlight reflected in her eyes, making him worthy of his protection. He reached out and gently placed his hand on Yan Yue's shoulder. "I'll wait for you ahead of me, but I'll always look back at you. Besides, your cultivation level is now higher than mine, at the Annihilation Lord Realm Initial Stage."

As soon as the words were spoken, Yunyi's figure quietly approached, three beams of light pulsating around her, and the essence of the three dragon souls slowly resonating within her body.

She tilted her head and glanced at the two of them, her eyes seeming to complain yet also to whine, and softly hummed, "They didn't even wait for me to say anything, and I almost got my soul torn apart by that old golden dragon. Luckily... I'm back."

Yan Yue turned to look at her, walked slowly forward, and gently patted her shoulder. "You are the most formidable force among us. Your ultimate technique not only saved yourself, but also the future of all three of us."

Qin Yu smiled, his expression as indulgent as ever. "Yunyi, if one of the three of us has to face the storm of fate head-on, I hope it will be me."

Yunyi pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly became serious.

She looked at Qin Yu, then at Yan Yue, her voice soft but piercing. "No. It's us together. You're not destined to break this deadlock alone, and Sister Yue isn't destined to fight the Annihilation Abyss alone. There are three of us."

"Whether the road ahead leads to the opposition of the Epoch Construct Divine Temple, the emergence of logical catastrophes, or the world-ending questions deep within the Origin Abyss —I will stand with you."

"We are one."

At that moment, the light of dawn, the Azure Ring, and the radiance of the three dragons converged simultaneously above the ancient palace, the three primordial wills silently resonating.

Yan Yue nodded. "Okay."

Qin Yu responded softly, "That's it."

The three were perfectly in sync, needing no vows, yet their bond was stronger than any oath.

They knew that the real journey was only just beginning.

No matter who the enemy is, or how tragic their fate may be, the three of them will never be separated, and will never be defeated.

The moment the three finished speaking, the Wancai Key that floated above the ancient palace in the inverted dome suddenly trembled violently!

"Boom--!"

Countless brilliant streaks of light, like the broken flow of a galaxy, surged forth from the key itself, resembling the lingering cosmic glow that had not yet been extinguished after billions of years of collapse, illuminating the entire inverted ancient palace and the unnamed night sky above the three of them!

In that instant, all the starlight converged and surged toward Qin Yu!

"Brother Yu!" Yunyi subconsciously took a step back.

Yan Yue's eyes widened, and she murmured softly, "It's the key's—logic echo... His sequence with the key is... overlapping."

Starlight surges like a tide, and heaven and earth resonate like a song.

Qin Yu gazed up quietly. The key seemed to sense his "priority of existence," the fluctuations of his [Lord of the Azure Ring] source consciousness, and the "Ultimate Final Cycle Realm" he possessed. The next moment, three ancient runes appeared on the key: Logic, Cause and Effect, and Order.

Three runes, shimmering with a nebula-like brilliance, swirled around the key itself.

Deep within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, the Azure Ring trembled slightly, its three layers quietly opening, seemingly autonomously granting the key to reside within its "Positionary Consciousness Domain."

"Clang--!"

Like chains breaking, like gods falling silent, like a resonance of cause and effect reversed!

The key jolted violently—

In an instant, it rapidly shrank from a colossal object suspended in mid-air, transforming into an ancient key with star patterns that was only the length of a palm!

Then, the key slowly floated down towards Qin Yu, and the trajectory it left behind illuminated the entire ancient palace space with a "Destiny Track" of light!

It fell silently.

"Whoosh!"

It pierced directly through Qin Yu's forehead, without pain or sound, and fell straight into his sea of consciousness.

At that moment, a thunderous roar resounded deep within Qin Yu's mind, and a key domain woven from ordered rays of light, propositional bundles, and logical symbols suddenly unfolded.

Starlight abounds, and the Consciousness Realm is as deep as an abyss!

Both Yan Yue and Yunyi felt the terrifying sensation of "the trajectory of destiny being reconstructed," as if the logic of heaven and earth was being reshaped right before their eyes, revolving around Qin Yu alone!

Qin Yu slowly closed his eyes.

Within the sea of consciousness, the myriad phenomena of stars and planets appeared, and the "Key of Order" quietly hung in the deepest part of the Azure Ring, becoming an inextinguishable core of destiny beside the ring's core.

When he opened his eyes, the reflection of the entire star trails of the ancient palace was already in his pupils.

It was as if he was no longer just a "victim" of this world, but had begun to possess the right to rewrite part of its logical trajectory.

Yan Yue slightly. "Your resonance with the key... has surpassed the imagination of all 'novice key holders'."

Yunyi gently smiled and said, "Brother Yu has become more reliable—then it's our turn to fight for you with the key."

The three of them exchanged a silent glance.

In this ancient temple bathed in starlight, they understood that this moment was merely a turning point in their destiny's journey, not the end.

The ownership of that key is merely the beginning of Qin Yu's true journey to becoming the "Master of Destiny"!

At that very moment, billions of starlight suddenly erupted from the depths of Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, as if the primordial power of the entire universe was awakening.

The shrunken Star Key transformed into a glimmer of light and merged into Qin Yu's sea of consciousness between his brows. As it became fully embedded, starlight rippled around him, the sky darkened instantly, his consciousness domain trembled, and countless runes, like star trails, traced five self-derived star law chains in his sea of consciousness.

These are the five automatically released skills of the [Star Key], each a death sentence for the construction system of the magic weapon.

⸻

[Star Key - Fifth Form] (Automatic activation, no master control required)

1. The Star Extinction Order

Effect: Traces the source logic of the enemy's magic weapon's construction, reverses its causal chain, and causes it to perish before it is even born.

The moment the enemy unleashed its powerful weapon, the celestial orbits reversed, the logic of the components froze instantly, shattering into illusory stardust and returning to nothingness.

Result: The magical artifact was swallowed up at the point of its logical origin before it could even manifest, and is considered as if it "never existed."

2. The Eternal Fate Star-Splitting Edge

Effect: Sever the "connection of fate" between the magical artifact and its user, causing the artifact to no longer acknowledge its master.

A starlight-infused blade flashed within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, instantly severing the enemy's consciousness and the life chain of the magical artifact. Cracks appeared on the surface of the artifact, causing it to disintegrate on its own.

Result: No matter how strong the enemy is, they will be "rejected" by their own strongest magic weapon and will fall into emptiness like a discarded pawn.

3. The Origin Destroyer Light Collapse Law

Effect: Removes all energy fulcrums from the magic weapon, along with spare components and logic nodes, turning it into an empty shell.

Starlight surged like waves, covering the surface of the enemy's magical artifact. The runes receded like water, leaving only broken shells on the ground.

Result: All the energy mechanisms "used to exert their power" of the magical artifact failed, rendering it completely useless.

4. Abyssal Void Consciousness-Sealing Seal

Effect: Cuts off the "logical channel" through which the enemy summons magical artifacts; neither spells, intentions, nor Spiritual Sense bindings are effective.

A scroll with star patterns appeared in space, sealing off logic like a chapter, rendering all enemy summoning orders ineffective.

Result: The enemy wanted to summon the treasure but could not, his incantation went unanswered, his intentions were not fulfilled, and he could not be summoned; he could only clench his fists in despair.

5. Star Silence Myriad Orders Wheel (Final Technique)

• Effect: Judges all of the enemy's magic weapons and relies on logic, regarding them as "scrap" ideas, and completely erasing the basis for their construction.

A myriad-order star chart appeared in the void, dismantling, comparing, and negating the enemy's settings line by line, and finally crushing down with a star wheel, completely annihilating all evidence of existence.

• Result: The enemy's magical artifacts, attachments, and setting logic are retrospectively deleted and judged as "unfounded". Even if the transcendent magical artifacts and the Tower of Fate are destroyed at this moment.

⸻

At this moment, Yan Yue and Yunyi, who were present, also felt that supreme repulsive force that could not tolerate the existence of any enemy treasure in the world.

Yan Yue looked at Qin Yu and whispered, "This key is so incredibly powerful?"

Qin Yu nodded calmly. "This key Non-Self activated by me, but... it was created for me."

Yunyi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she said playfully yet solemnly, "If you go into battle in the future, no matter how powerful your magic weapon is... it will only be a self-destructive performance."

The three exchanged a light laugh.

In this Source of Epochless, from this day forward, no matter who attempts to establish authority with magical treasures, their words will be nothing but empty rhetoric and unfinished schemes before Qin Yu.

The Star Key slowly sank into silence within the sea of consciousness, while the pendulum of the Star Orbit quietly rewrote the logic of the magical artifacts in the entire world.
