Fate Unraveled, the Only Answer · The Realm of Techniques Fell Silent
They walked for a long time following the direction indicated by the sea of flowers, and finally stepped into the first area of the chain-like structure shown in the guide.
That area Nameless. In the historical map documents, it is temporarily marked as: [Construct Abyss Fragmented Page - Area One of the Broken Causes and Seal]
--Unnamed constructs, also known as "Construct Consciousness Ruined Road".
The moment you step into that area, the air seems to sink.
Space began to tremble at an extremely slow frequency, like a dream that had been torn apart countless times and was struggling to maintain its reconstruction.
What unfolded before them was a broken, intertwined path of souls and bones, forged from chains of old acquaintances.
The ground was no longer soil and stone, but was made up of pieces of broken chains. Each chain plate was engraved with half-disappeared "combat technique structure terms," some of which still shone faintly, while others had been completely burned.
It was as if countless instances of "failed technique construction" and "torn soul consciousness" had unfolded here.
Broken bridges, leaning tower shadows, and deep, misty ravines are scattered among them, connected by "logical gaps." They seem traversable, but in reality, they are extremely unstable, and the slightest fluctuation in one's consciousness could lead to their collapse.
Wang Long immediately felt the oppressive atmosphere and said, "This place... feels like the escape route for those with skills has been cut off."
Yunyi frowned slightly and said softly, "It's the trace left by the world after the soul's consciousness has passed through." "Not defeat, but... failure."
Luo Qingluan slowly took a step forward, her fingertips touching a soul chain stone slab.
In an instant, a blurry image flashed before her eyes:
One person activated a combat skill, but the skill chain was "rejected by the structure" the instant the link was deployed, and the skill chain was completely torn apart, ultimately causing the soul to self-destruct.
She took a deep breath and whispered, "These records are the skill marks of those expelled from the constructs of the world."
Gui Ming Luo's gaze was as clear as a mirror as he calmly stated, "This is not a place to kill enemies. Rather, it is the final resting place for those who fail in their techniques, forever forgotten."
Suddenly, the wind picked up.
It wasn't the wind of nature, but rather some kind of "echoing echo of an unfinished chain"—
Like a million skills collapsing halfway through, carrying the twisted will of "failed to be released," they transform into whispers in your ear:
"Why don't you shut up?"
"By what right are you allowed to exist?"
"Your failed skill... Do you want to try again?"
Tiny, inexplicable fragments of characters even floated in the air, falling like embers. If inhaled, they would cause slight disturbances to the soul.
This place doesn't seem like a place for people to walk on; rather, it's a place where the echoes of corpses resonate from those who "deny all skill logic."
Qin Yu stepped quietly at the front, his Azure Ring glowing faintly as he placed the soul-binding chains in front of him for defense.
He gazed into the distance: there was a half-ruined palace submerged in the sea of rocks.
The remaining Construct Abyss Fragmented Page cast a faint but undeniable glow upon it.
But at the end of the road, even the light cannot be defined.
He spoke softly, "What lies ahead... is not a battle, but a comprehensive critique of our entire skill system."
Yunyi chuckled lightly, "Alright. Let's see who gets exposed first."
The group prepared themselves and embarked on the [Construct Consciousness Ruined Road]. Behind them, deep within the mist...
Blood-red lines were still seeping from a certain part of the chain, as if an unfamiliar lifeline was quietly approaching.
As the team stepped onto the fifth broken chain slab of the Construct Consciousness Ruined Road, the atmosphere along the entire road began to subtly change.
The broken technique names, burnt chain patterns, and unclosed runes engraved on the ground suddenly began to glow.
It doesn't light up, but rather "echoes".
It's like some kind of constructive logic, retracing back at the end of time, attempting to release the unfinished "remnants" once more.
Gui Ming Luo's expression darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "... It's been triggered."
Qin Yu in front, the Azure Ring spinning rapidly, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently.
Rings of gray-white light appeared all around, each displaying an unfinished skill declaration:
"... Fate link not connected, transcription failed."
"... This technique has been rejected by the world."
"... You have lost control of the propositional structure."
These are not warnings, but rather "self-construction" left behind by those who have severed their skills.
When these constructs sense the soul frequency of newly created constructs, they will conduct a trial.
As soon as Wang Long took a step forward, his mind was suddenly shaken!
A blurry, illusory figure appeared in the air ahead.
It turned out to be the "Chain-Suppressing Five Seals Form that he himself had used in the first round.
But at this moment, the mark was broken and incomplete, its rotation direction reversed, and the five chains repelled each other, as if it had changed from "suppressing technique" to "locking consciousness."
"That was... one of my old moves?" He frowned.
Gui Ming Luo immediately shouted, "This is the Waste Road's Technique Judgment Mechanism—it will project back your most unstable technique chain release process based on the 'Technique Imprints' within your body!"
"If you fail to successfully reconstruct it within the rules, it will target you—leading to a backlash!"
The words had barely left his mouth when Heng Yan's expression changed drastically.
The [Shattered Cause Blade Fire Wheel] within his body was trembling automatically even without being activated!
"Wait—I didn't move—"
But the fiery wheel appeared uncontrollably beside him, and in an instant, it released its second chain of attacks!
Boom!!!
The fiery blade slashed down from the sky, Luo Qingluan's shoulder almost squarely!
Fortunately, Qin Yu acted in time, and a fragment of Azure Ring intercepted the flames, tearing them apart.
But at this moment, Heng Yan was already kneeling on one knee, his face pale, blood seeping from his forehead, and he was gritting his teeth in a low voice:
"My... technical thinking has been hijacked by it..."
"It's in my mind... altering my understanding of 'which skill to unleash'!"
A blue light emanated from Luo Qingluan's brow. He formed hand seals, forcefully pulling out a broken section of Heng Yan's consciousness chain, and said in a deep voice:
"His skill imprint was marked as incomplete by the 'judgment logic' of this abandoned road."
"And those who are 'incomplete' will be forced into the Infinite Completion Trial in this realm."
Yunyi chuckled softly, her Illusory Dragon flowing, and helped Heng Yan up. "Finish my head, my foot. I think this road is the incomplete one."
With a flick of her finger, she created a phantom technique projection line, actively tearing through the main beam of the abandoned path's recognition frequency, allowing it to determine that "Heng Yan's technique has disappeared."
Qin Yu said in a deep voice, "The judgment logic has flaws. It only recognizes the 'soul frequency release interruption state,' but it cannot handle the 'soul frequency being rewritten to zero.'"
"Qingluan, add a layer of 'Constructed Technique Void Annihilation Diagram' to our entire team's skill chain projection."
"Let's fight a battle that we ourselves have never unleashed."
Gui Ming Luo nodded, raised his hand and engraved a [Cognition Chain Stitching Construct Diagram], instantly repackaging everyone's combat skill chain frequencies, disguising them as unrecognized chain groups.
In an instant, all the echoes and shadows in the trial hall vanished, and the pronouncements ceased to be heard.
The deceased's skill chain no longer requires "completion," and the trial mechanism is temporarily frozen.
A moment of silence followed. Heng Yan stood up, panting, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "... I almost died by my own hand."
Qin Yu gazed at the still silent end of the Chain Path in the distance. "This isn't a test of how strong you are."
"This is a test—do you still remember the 'you who failed'?"
The trial of the technique has passed, Heng Yan's soul consciousness has been barely stabilized with the help of Qingluan and Gui Ming Luo.
But the abandoned road ahead grew increasingly dark and secluded.
The light dims, not because night has fallen, but because the right to reflect cause and effect has been stripped away—the boundary no longer "acknowledges" that the events that follow in this area can be observed, written, or even remembered.
As Qin Yu's team crossed the thirteenth broken piece of the Soul Chain, a figure suddenly appeared in the mist ahead.
Not an enemy. Not a living being.
It is an upright "fragmented monument".
The stele is covered with fragments of logical sentences, such as: "The name of the technique can no longer be used." "The proposition is obsolete." "The user has passed away."
Beneath the monument, a figure emerged, composed of soul dust and black and gray chains.
It looked up, its eyes empty, but every time it looked at someone, a fragment of a skill chain would appear from that person 'Soul Sea.
It's not "watching you," it's "reading your failures."
Gui Ming Luo's expression darkened slightly. "... This is [Logic Roadblocker]."
"It is a logically self-contained entity generated by the abandoned path itself, which uses 'failed techniques' as a trigger point to determine whether we are 'qualified to continue forward'."
"If the mark of failure is not erased, it will execute a blockade." At that moment, the Soul Chain of the Logic Roadblocker trembled.
Five fragments of broken skills appeared on its surface—clearly corresponding to a skill attempt by one of the five that had been "rejected in the past."
Yunyi sneered, "I'd like to see if it remembers how old I was when I failed."
She formed a hand seal with her right hand, unfurled the wings of the Phantom Soul Dragon, and confronted the obstacle blocking her path, staring directly at its core:
"I don't intend to deny failure." "But what makes you think I can't move forward?"
The person blocking the way sensed a slight movement in the core, but did not make a move.
But the next moment, its body slowly merged back into the monument, and a new inscription appeared on the surface. "Qualification: Temporarily Approved."
But from behind the monument, a low hum suddenly sounded.
The ground suddenly cracked open. That was the second level of the trial—the [Trial of the Failures' Return].
From the shattered realm behind the monument, wisps of black mist rose, each a phantom of a craftsman who had been rejected by the world and failed to traverse this abandoned path.
Their faces were indistinct, but the skill chains and life frequencies emanating from their bodies were remarkably similar to those of Qin Yu and the others!
Heng Yan's expression changed drastically. "... This is the fourth skill chain I had envisioned but never completed—[Double Fiery Reflection: Collapsing Flame Realm Style]!"
"It never even existed in the world... How could this be—"
Gui Ming Luo whispered, "They are the 'spirits of imagination,' the projection of your innermost being closest to failure. You didn't write them down, but you once thought of writing them."
"So, I've written this useless path for you." "And I ask you a question—" "Do you want to be replaced by it?"
With a mere flick of his wrist, Phantom unleashed the "unfinished technique"!
Its logical structure is far from mature, but because it has never been implemented, it is not limited by real-world technical laws, and thus it is faster and has a more bizarre path.
Before Heng Yan could react, Dao Flame was already upon him.
But Qin Yu had already rushed forward and broke the chain with a single palm strike.
He said in a deep voice, "Ignore its attack methods. They only have one true killing intent—"
"To make you deny the value of your current skill set."
"The moment you start to doubt yourself, you will be replaced by it."
Heng Yan gritted his teeth and roared, forcibly stabilizing the current skill chain [Shattered Cause Blade Fire Wheel] on the positive axis of his sea of consciousness.
The phantom trembled violently, and the decomposition began.
Meanwhile, stone tablets marking the burial of skill names began to appear ahead.
That place—is the final challenge: the Severed Technique Remnant Tomb.
Qin Yu spoke slowly, his voice low and deep. "We've come this far. We must use our own construction techniques to traverse through all the corpses of those who failed."
They stood Severed Technique Remnant Tomb. The whole world was so quiet it was deafening.
Hundreds of tombstones stood neatly arranged above the chaotic Soul Sea, all forged from the world's structure, each inscribed with the name of a technique—
"Severed Breath Ring Emanation", "Annihilation Wheel Night Gate", "Rift Abyss Lord's Authority" and "Cognition-Breaking Nine Constructs"
The edges of each inscription bear the imprint of a "world negation," that is—
"Due to invalidity", "disordered structural chain", "self-denial of technical logic", "proposition not approved for recognition".
This cemetery is the ultimate punishment from the world's will for a failed technique—to no longer acknowledge its existence.
If the creator's own soul frequency is similar to its logic, it will be considered a duplicate and immediately erased.
Wang Long stared at the stone tablet ahead, gritting his teeth and whispering, "... This isn't an enemy prepared for us."
"It's a 'graveyard' prepared for our construction techniques."
Luo Qingluan's gaze was indifferent as she softly said, "Wanting to get out of here alive—" only proves that our skills have never failed.
The next moment, Qin Yu's expression calmed, and he took a step forward. "Preparing to use my Innate Martial Soul to open the tomb passage."
He raised his hand, and his consciousness suddenly churned.
A massive circular image slowly rose up, its center shattering into an abyss, the proposition vanishing, and the structural lines collapsing.
--Silent Beginning: Ring Master Soul Diagram!
The entire realm of the tombs suddenly trembled.
As Qin Yu stepped onto the path projected from the Ring Master image, the countless tombstones that had logically conflicted with his skill name crumbled like gray fog!
Azure Ring whispered into consciousness, "You take the main soul as your anchor; your propositions need no external proof."
"Their techniques failed, but yours did not exist in the dimension of failure." "For you are the writer of the Lord's mandate."
The Ring Master Soul Diagram unfolds, constructing a virtual soul passage "where there is no path to failure".
And the people behind him followed suit! Gui Ming Luo, High-Level Annihilation Lord Realm
Innate Martial Soul: Annihilation Soul Lock - Netherworld Seal Chain
He softly uttered the Soul Chains' true name, and the four Soul Chains, like snakes, wound their way through the tombstones. Each time they touched a Technique Tomb, they immediately bypassed its causal conflict domain, constructing their own alternative paths. "I don't resist your denial." "I merely wrote down my Technique's cause 'before you denies me.'" "You cannot judge me."
Luo Qingluan and Silent Source Realm - Ultimate Innate Martial Soul: Tranquil Abyss Seal - Qingluan Legacy Pattern
Her figure moved lightly, leaving lotus-like imprints beneath her feet. She didn't "pass through" the tombstones, but instead switched her soul frequency to an "untriggered state" with each step, as if she had never possessed any skills at that moment.
"Without skills existing, there is no technique to negate." And her next step is a chain-based release—
"--Reconstruction of Fate Seal: Stillness Before the Abyss."
The world instantly identified it as a "new technology" and failed to compare it with the old monument.
-Heng Yan Annihilation Lord Realm - Initial Stage Innate Martial Soul: Shattered Fate Wheel - Due to Fire Blade Ring
He let out a low growl, and seven layers of fire wheels appeared around his body, their flames incinerating the shattered ground beneath his feet. "You once denied the technology—"
"Then I will destroy this 'land of negation'."
The fire reverses the structure and burns, turning every "structure monument" to ashes before it, making it impossible to complete frequency comparison.
Wang Long Annihilation Lord Realm High-Level Innate Martial Soul: Heavenly Emanation Fate Pressure Wheel
The five black-gold wheel seals slowly rotated. He neither avoided nor burned them, but used the power of his soul to suppress the entire logic-confrontation field.
You say my techniques are incompatible with the world's laws.
"But this world is beneath my soul wheel."
Under the cover of the "Wheel of Fate Pressure," all the tombstones lost their ability to respond. Qin Yu commented:
"He is a suppressor who uses the world as his technological foundation."
The five of them joined forces, each using the power of their Fate Soul diagrams, to cleave open the last and deepest dead zone of the Construct Consciousness Ruined Road.
And when they stepped out of the final boundary marker of the Severed Technique Remnant Tomb—
The true projection of [Construct Abyss Fragmented Page] finally appeared above the "Construct Shadow Mist Platform" at the end of the abandoned road.
It is not a physical entity, but a slowly rotating page-shaped projection, like a "world book with only one page left," waiting for them to touch it.
Qin Yu whispered, "The first Remnant Construct Soul Crystal —is right before our eyes."
The five of them slowly stepped into the "Construct Shadow Mist Platform".
That page—floats in the silent, deep fog of the world, as thin as a butterfly's wing, yet it keeps swirling gently.
It has no words, yet it seems to contain a thousand words; it has no light source, yet it shines brighter than the entire abandoned road.
That was the preview page of the Remnant Construct Soul Crystal [Construct Abyss Fragmented Page].
Qin Yu stared at it for a moment, then slowly reached out to touch it. The instant his fingertips touched it—
The entire world vanished in a flash, turning into silent pages.
The soul, reversed, fell into the "Initial Layer of Technique Conception" --
Before his eyes, all the skills replayed the logical tremors of his birth moment—every soul chain, every causal sequence, every proposition written...
--All transformed into "structural patterns" within the field of vision. [Technique Construction Field of Vision Trial, Begins.]
A pale, illusory figure appeared before him, like "an illusory manifestation of the logic of the world."
Its words, though silent, resonated like a thousand inscriptions: "By what right do you define skills?" "By what name do you write logic?"
"With what soul do you inscribe this world?" "Do you possess the qualifications for a 'factor-based' existence?"
Qin Yu remained expressionless as his Azure Ring swirled, revealing a series of skill chains in his field of vision:
[Destiny Inheritance - Knowledge Sealing Stage][Soul Suppression][Silent Origin - Boundless Ashes][Sever the Epoch Without a Trace]
The phantom then asked, "Do you know that seventeen segments of your established skill chain were on the verge of being rejected by the world's understanding?"
"Are you aware that 90% of your techniques have not been permitted to be recognized as 'legal techniques worldwide'?"
Qin Yu's gaze was calm, his voice light, yet it was like a hammer Realm Breaking:
"Of course I know." "So I don't need the world's approval." The next instant, his consciousness trembled!
The phantom suddenly changed, splitting into seven projections of the Deconstruction Denier, each representing Qin Yu's "past failed constructs." All of them launched an attack, attempting to send Qin Yu back to the source of constructs and completely strip him of his right to define concepts!
Wang Long and the others were all kept out of sight.
Only he faced the deathly echo of the entire construction system!
Qin Yu raised his hand— the Silent Origin · Wheel-Breaking Seal shattered the first layer.
The second wave of negation that shatters the "disorderly structure" is the judgment of "unauthorized command"!
Qin Yu's eyes flashed coldly, the Azure Ring resonated, and he suddenly Leaving Stillness the Ring Master Soul Diagram from his sea of consciousness.
The diagram breaks, the proposition rotates, and logic collapses!
Seven denials of the phantom drama shook the world! But it's not over yet--
At this moment, the illusory world began to collapse, and the seven shadows of negation began to merge into one, attempting to form the "Ultimate Negation Body"—
A world mirror that "denies all technological rights"! All your technological chains—are flawed concepts!
"You should Annihilation at the very beginning of the formation of meaning!"
Qin Yu closed his eyes, then slowly opened them.
In his sea of consciousness, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword appeared, with dozens of skill names engraved on it, which were his past that he had envisioned and then personally erased.
He raised his sword, but did not strike. Instead, he used the sword as a brush, tracing the heart of the Ring Master Soul Diagram—
He wrote, "Only I can define this proposition." The next instant, the heavens and earth trembled.
The ring flips! The sword enters the soul! -- [Abyss Explosion Ring Activation: The Fate Resolution Singularity]!
The entire world of technological vision has completely collapsed!
All logical axes, propositional chains, and negations of skills... were instantly burned away like ten thousand pages of a book!
Only the circular map remained in the void, with Qin Yu standing within it.
He has proven that every skill he possesses does not need the world's permission—it is valid simply because he wrote it down!
The field of vision shattered! The fog platform where the five people were located was completely cleared!
And beyond the shattered spatial rift—
A genuine soul crystal floated silently in the void.
[Remnant Construct Soul Crystal - Construct Abyss Fragmented Page] has appeared!
It is entirely fragmented, but not a solid crystal; rather, it is a penetrating image.
At the edge, countless technological logics burn and extinguish, as if the origin of the world is flowing, defining, and being rewritten within it!
With each breath, it would briefly appear under a technique with a name that had never existed before—
"Mirror of Annihilation - Rift", "Fate Wheel Script Breath", "Severed Construct Soul Epoch", "Nameless Technique"
In the next instant, they all vanished, transforming into a deeper chain of meaning.
This is not the core of a specific skill. This is the "source page" of a world-constructing technique.
Qin Yu stepped forward, followed by the five others. The light illuminated their souls, and tiny chains appeared in each of them.
Gui Ming Luo whispered, "This is a sacred object that can rewrite the very essence of skill logic."
Wang Long murmured, "So... this is what they call 'Remnant Construct Soul Crystal'..."
Qin Yu reached out and grasped the fragment. It had no weight, yet it shook the very foundation of the entire Ring Erosion Ruined Realm.
--First Remnant Construct Soul Crystal acquired!
But in the distant black mist, a pair of eyes slightly opened:
"Hehe, you... got the first one. Well then, I won't be polite. All those obstacles along the way, I really need to thank you properly."
That was the soul frequency of [Lü Tan].
