The battle of the Annihilation Ash Plateau has finally come to an end. Yu Minghuang Final Wheel Supreme, was ultimately Annihilation by Yan Yue's [Dawn Breath Annihilates Heaven] attack. Even the reason for his existence was Entering Stillness, turning into dust that would never be remembered.
Source of Epochless, Northern Epoch Domain, Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, Central Inner Palace
Myriad Epoch Ring Cause slowly rotated, a silent figure stood before the Soul Mirror Steps within the vast cosmic ring.
He was Yu Yuance.
At that moment, a shockwave, as if a lifeline had been forcibly severed, pierced through the Ring Mirror and entered his body.
--Yu Minghuang has perished.
"Oh..."
His eyes were lowered, and his voice, as cold as Silent Abyss, rang out. "You dare to slay the elder who is the pinnacle of my clan outside the Epoch Realm."
He raised his fingertip, and as the life runes flickered, a chain of cause and effect appeared in the Soul Mirror, locking onto the four remaining figures—
Qin Yu, Yan Yue, Yunyi, Zi Xue.
Especially Qin Yu, the son of the Ring Master.
"Your existence has exceeded the Fate Trajectory Preview."
"Our Ceyuan Clan never tolerates 'logical variables'."
"I will personally—completely erase you from the entire [main track of the Chronicle]."
As the voice faded, a reverse-structured Fate Soul appeared above his brow.
The Fate Soul, perception, and consciousness circuits began to rehearse the plan of destruction.
And he only said one sentence softly:
"I want to completely erase Qin Yu from all logic..."
The Annihilation Ash Plateau, is utterly silent.
That battle, powerful enough to tear apart destiny and shake the very source of existence, has finally faded into silence.
Qin Yu stood atop the ruins, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword returning to his sea of consciousness. Within his sea of consciousness, the "Silent Beginning - Ring Master Soul Diagram" slowly closed and returned to its place, a deep golden light flashing within the Return to the Abyss Diagram. His aura quietly rose at this moment, finally condensing above the Abyss of Fate [Final Cycle Realm - Ultimate].
He looked up at the sky; his destiny was no longer extending, but beginning to turn back—the final preparation for entering a "logical closed loop."
Beside him, Yan Yue quietly closed her eyes, Annihilation Dawn Silent Wheel circled behind her, its anti-entropy light like still snow under an eternal day, exuding a completely new sense of status.
--Her cultivation level has already risen to: [Annihilation Lord Realm, Initial Stage].
The power that was once ineffable and beyond the grasp of concepts has now quietly taken hold within her.
Yunyi stepped into the air, and three soul rings unfolded around her. Golden Radiance light, purple lightning, and black flames intertwined and reflected each other, and the form of the Illusory Dragon was fully formed.
With the three souls merged, the Lord of the Annihilation Abyss was no longer vulnerable.
She exhaled softly, her soul pressure sweeping across the void. With just a flow of her aura, the surrounding fragments of the shattered world collapsed, as if this plateau had never existed.
Beside them stood a figure, quietly at the edge of the soul light.
--Zi Xue.
She was originally a transcendent True Immortal Supreme dimensions, standing alone at the pinnacle of all realms, looking down upon the mortal immortals, emperors, and ancient ancestors.
Now, thanks to the Flower of Stars summoned by Qin Yu and the restart of her Fate-Cause, she has successfully crossed that threshold—
She embarked on the path of the "Silent Source Realm," a place never before written about.
--[Silent Source Realm, Beginner Level]
She looked down at her palm and felt a response from the world she had never experienced before, as if the entire Source of Epochless was opening up new challenges for her.
At this very moment, this four-person team:
One person, the master of destiny, Realm Breaking, Final Wheel Ultimate cycle.
One person Annihilation Lord first appears, the Dawn Wheel shines in the sky.
An Illusory Dragon descends to earth, its soul rings fully formed.
One person, like a phoenix burning in the fire, embarks on a new journey into the Silent Origin.
They will be the ones to break the Source of Epochless.
The Desolate Abyss Trial Realm, the Annihilation Ash Plateau —and so it came to an end.
The Annihilation Ash Plateau has vanished, and four figures pierce through the void, stepping into the boundless ring domain.
Above the distant, epoch-making halo, the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall —the foremost of the twenty transcendent source palaces of the Source of Epochless —finally appeared before them.
It was a colossal palace domain Does Not Exist any foundation, floating above the flow of time itself.
An endless cycle of cause and effect surged from beneath the palace, the trajectory of billions of years and the future etched into the dome as a galaxy of soul light, each flicker a testament to the rewriting of destiny.
Qin Yu landed first, followed closely by Yan Yue and Yunyi.
Finally, Zi Xue, draped in starlight feathers, arrived, stepping on starlight, her phoenix shadow hidden behind her, her aura cold and solemn.
However, just as she was about to step into the palace, a golden barrier slowly unfolded, blocking her from entering.
[Lord Yuan's Law] automatically sounded:
"Without the guidance of the [Observer's Rank], no one other than a disciple of the Eternal Hall may enter the Hall."
Zi Xue stopped in surprise, her gaze fixed on the light of order blocking her way, vaguely sensing the "undetermined identity" of this Source Palace towards her.
She looked at Qin Yu. But Qin Yu had already turned his gaze and nodded slightly toward the depths of the realm palace.
In an instant, a Golden Radiance rose from the hall, the wind whistling like the first rays of dawn, and a man dressed in a robe of morning light walked in.
He had a calm expression, a handsome face, and a sun-shaped rune between his brows; his tone was authoritative without being angry.
"You brought outsiders into the palace; are you aware of Yuan Lu's authority?"
Qin Yu smiled and cupped his hands in response, "This is a new recruit I obtained in the Annihilation Trial Realm, possessing the 'Silent Origin Vein.' I am willing to assist him in beginning the assessment through the ceremony of an observer's introduction."
The other party stared at Zi Xue for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Very well. Since you have made the introduction, I will, in my capacity as the law enforcer, escort you into the hall."
"My name is [Fuyao], one of the elders of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall. Today, I will personally guide you to the test."
He looked at Zi Xue: "Starfire Girl, if you have truly crossed the Silent Origin as he said... then come and see—are you worthy to leave your destiny on this 'Origin of Time'?"
A glint of light flickered in Zi Xue's eyes, Xi Yu trembled slightly, and she nodded slightly.
"I will pass."
She glanced at Qin Yu, said nothing more, and stepped into the secondary path of the palace domain opened by Fuyao, heading towards the "Entry Examination Space" exclusive to the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall.
Its name is: [Star-Gazing Cause-Severing Tower] -- Observe the orbits of the stars and sever the Fate-Cause.
Those who succeed will be granted the "Source of Birth Position," and their names may be engraved in the Hall.
Yunyi stepped to Yan Yue's side and sighed softly:
"So strict... But Sister Zi Xue's aura is indeed very different, she shines brighter than any of the 'realm maidens' I've seen before."
Yan Yue silent, only watching as the palace doors slowly closed.
As Qin Yu gazed in the direction of Zi Xue's retreating figure, another familiar soul-like figure appeared in his eyes...
--This is part of his plan for the future.
Eternal Evolution Realm Hall - Outer Ring Trial Hall
Yan Yue stood on the floating steps of the star trail, her expression calm, but her gaze never left the closed door of the secondary hall.
Yunyi, however, seemed quite interested. She leaned against the edge of the floating mirror of light, a smile playing on her lips, and murmured to herself:
"Hmm... my sister has been inside for an hour now, could she have demolished that 'Star-Gazing Cause-Severing Tower'...?"
Qin Yu closed his eyes slightly, his divine sense already penetrating the tower domain, quietly sensing the wisps of soul fire aura that had been baptized Fate-Cause destiny.
Just then--
A spatial gate with flowing sun-shaped divine patterns split open from the hall. Amidst the flowing light, Fuyao's figure stepped out first, followed by Zi Xue, who wore the Xiyu Soul Robe and had a cold expression.
Her expression was calm, and her aura was even stronger than before entering the hall—a response to the baptism of the "Tower of Time and Star Causes."
Fuyao's expression shifted slightly. He glanced back at her, then looked at Qin Yu, and surprisingly let out a soft hum.
"You've raised a good seed."
He then glanced at Yunyi again, and said as if deliberately sighing:
"This level of purity of soul consciousness and integration with destiny... let alone being able to see through the trajectory of the nine stars in one go, it even deduced the Tower Heart Source Seal on its own."
"If they had known of this woman's existence earlier, why were those observers arguing and fighting over her... They were truly neglecting their duties."
Qin Yu chuckled, "It's not too late to make up for it now."
Zi Xue nodded slightly to Fuyao as a thank you, but her eyes remained calm and indifferent, clearly indicating that the assessment was merely a "procedure" for her.
She stood back beside Qin Yu, her gaze sweeping across Xinghuan Square, and asked softly:
"... So, I am now a member of this Eternal Hall?"
Qin Yu nodded. "You already possess the 'Source Rank,' and your name has been engraved into this source of time."
Yunyi immediately leaned closer, smiling as she took Zi Xue's arm.
"Sister, you're amazing! I heard that even Yan Yue and Brother Yu spent several hours on that tower, but you came out in just one incense stick's time!"
Yan Yue glanced at her indifferently. "You talk too much."
Zi Xue simply smiled quietly, neither confirming nor denying.
However, she gently tilted her head back and looked at the dome formed by the eternal orbital rings.
At that moment, she finally realized—
I have long since left that world that was once called "transcendence" and have truly stepped into this ultimate source of the upper realm—where fate can be rewritten and cause and effect can be reversed.
She murmured softly, as if bidding farewell to her former self:
"So... this is the true realm of the Dao."
Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, Starry Zone, Seventh Ring Master Constellation
Starlight streamed down the quiet palace path. Yan Yue, Yunyi, and Zi Xue walked side by side with Qin Yu. Not far away, a brand-new residence had been marked in the Star Stele Spirit Sequence. Fuyao had specially arranged a residence for Zi Xue, located to the right of Qin Yu's residence, directly opposite Yan Yue and Yunyi's Spirit Ring Residence.
"That's good." Qin Yu said softly.
Yan Yue glanced at this familiar place, but said nothing, only her expression softened slightly.
Just as they were about to move in, a wisp of water light flowed from the end of the star path, and a woman dressed in a deep blue feather gauze, with a Wenwan and composed demeanor, appeared.
A smile played on her lips, yet her steps were unhurried, as if she were walking on water, leaving a trail of pale silver cloud patterns behind her.
"You're finally back."
Her voice was like the gentle murmur of a night spring, mild yet carrying an undeniable air of clarity.
Yan Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "Shu Xunyan."
Yunyi rushed forward first, waving with a grin. "You're the legendary older sister who helped us with the entrance records and arranged the trial process?"
Qin Yu raised his eyes to look at the newcomer, a hint of familiarity in them. "You already foresaw our fate in this battle?"
Shu Xunyan gently. Her gaze swept over Yan Yue, Yunyi, and Zi Xue one by one, finally landing on Zi Xue. Her eyes flickered slightly, and after a brief look, she revealed a hint of surprise.
"This person... is not in the original life trajectory record."
She comes from beyond this realm.
"Yes, her name is Zi Xue," Qin Yu replied. "She was once at the pinnacle of True Immortal Ultimate, but I have now helped her transcend dimensions Entering Stillness Origin realm."
Shu Xunyan's gaze sharpened for a moment, then he smiled gently, "What you brought back this time wasn't just victory."
"A being who has truly transcended the 'Limit of all realms,' her addition is enough to rewrite our future plans."
She turned to Zi Xue and said earnestly, "Welcome, Miss Zi Xue. From now on, you will have a formal [Origin Inscription], a Star Tablet in the Register, and the right to be ranked among the disciples of the Eternal Hall."
Zi Xue simply nodded slightly. "If it weren't for Qin... him, I might not have been able to take that step."
"He changed more than just you," Shu Xunyan, "Perhaps the future of the entire Eternal Hall."
Qin Yu slightly turned his head, his gaze shifting from Zi Xue to Shu Xunyan, his expression becoming somewhat serious.
After a moment, he spoke, his voice steady:
"Your aura... has changed."
Yan Yue also slightly raised her eyes, quietly gazing at the faintly expanding logical layer within Shu Xunyan's body.
Yunyi smiled and blinked, "Oh? Sister, you've secretly gotten stronger too?"
Zi Xue glanced at her and, though she didn't speak, she felt a deep tremor in her heart—she could clearly sense that the woman's realm had already surpassed the dimensional level she had reached when she Entering Stillness Origin.
Shu Xunyan nodded quietly, a trace of indifference without any arrogance flashing in her eyes:
"You have shattered the cause of annihilation in the Desolate Abyss, and I will not stand still."
"I have now entered the [Intermediate Stage of the Primordial Void Realm]."
A flicker of light appeared in Qin Yu's eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Congratulations to Elder Shu on your advancement to the intermediate stage of the Primordial Void Realm."
Shu Xunyan then revealed a genuine smile, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and gazed at the ring-shaped divine stele in the sky. His voice was low but resounding:
"Seven days from now will be the day of the [Source of Epochless - Twenty Source Halls - Super Disciple Battle]."
"This battle was arranged long before I sent you to the Trial Realm—at that time, I wasn't sure if you would return Anran."
"But now, you have not only returned, but you have also brought with you a Silent Origin True Immortal, a Three-Soul Illusory Dragon... and even more terrifyingly, your own cultivation has reached the Ultimate Final Wheel."
"You are the participants born for this battle."
Yunyi put her hands on her hips, spun around, and laughed, "It feels like... we've only just warmed up."
Yan Yue merely raised her eyes slightly, saying nothing more, while Zi Xue lightly raised her finger and touched the Xi Yu cloak on her shoulder, as if she finally understood that the world she should truly step into had already unfolded.
Qin Yu, however, quietly closed his eyes, as if he could see through this star field the battlefield of Source of Epochless's highest disciple seven days later:
"Perfect."
"Within seven days, we will surely be in peak condition."
Countless extraordinary geniuses who have transcended the Ji Clan will gather, Fate-Cause ones of the Twenty Source Halls will soon clash.
He was no longer an outsider.
He is a returnee.
It is the ultimate conclusion of cause and effect, the reverse of proposition.
