The seal of Fate Que · the star core returns to the book

When the last wisp of darkness of the Annihilation Abyss Sovereign was completely Annihilation at the bottom of the Milky Way, the vast abyss finally returned to silence, and in the dead silence of the star stream, light slowly revived.

Qin Yu and his companions returned from the depths of darkness, their robes stained with blood yet their spirits unyielding. A beam of azure light surrounded them, protecting every inch of their damaged souls. Guided by Yan Yue's soul power, they teleported back to the summit of the Fate Que Divine Temple.

This temple, which was once on the verge of collapse, remains dilapidated, but the main pillar of light still slowly rotates.

Inside the main hall, the Lord of Fate-Traces, Che Ming, sat cross-legged at the top, his face pale and his breathing disordered. Beside him, Xingheng also looked tired, her spiritual energy slightly dissipated, as she regulated her breathing and protected her spirit.

The thirty-odd surviving powerful figures inside the hall were all sitting cross-legged between the divine pillars, immersed in healing. They were covered in wounds, but their souls remained intact.

The moment Qin Yu and his group stepped into the hall, everyone inside suddenly opened their eyes and looked up.

Xingheng's eyes widened, and she immediately stood up, quickly stepping forward with a look that was both urgent and gentle:

"You've returned... Annihilation Abyss Sovereign, you're already...?"

Qin Yu nodded, his voice low but firm:

"Completely Annihilation."

The main hall fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

Then came a tidal wave of tremors—

Lord of Fate-Traces, Che Ming, slowly rose, forcibly suppressing the blood welling in his mouth, and bowed deeply to Qin Yu and his group:

"You are not children of the Immortal Source, yet you are destined to fight against our clan's sworn enemy... Che Ming, have no way to repay you but this humble offering."

Qin Yu in the center of the temple, Azure Ring slowly falling silent behind him. His gaze was calm as he gently supported Che Ming's bowed figure and said indifferently:

"I did not come seeking anything in return. It is simply because—these pages are meant for me to write."

Xingheng smiled softly, a glistening Star Tear welling in her eyes. "Fate... has finally been rewritten by you."

Qin Yu didn't say anything more, but turned his head to look at Yan Yue, Zi Xue, Yunyi and Extinguished Light behind him.

They nodded slightly, a shared answer appearing in their eyes.

This battle was not for merit or glory, but for another possibility of life.

In the main hall at the bottom of the Milky Way, ruins still remain, and the fighting spirit has not dissipated.

Lord of Fate-Traces, Che Ming- legged on the palace steps. Although his body was steady, the bloodstains were still wet. Xingheng supported him with one hand, while tightly gripping the Fate Seal with the other, trying her best to maintain the breath of the remaining people.

Of the more than thirty experts at the Fate Que, less than half remained standing. The rest were all badly injured, some with shattered souls and others with holes in their sea of consciousness, unable to even utter a word.

Just then--

Qin Yu slowly stepped forward and stood in the center of the main hall, his Qingyi spotless and his gaze clear and sharp.

He took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand.

The void behind them trembled instantly, and a beam of ten thousand feet of azure light pierced through the roof of the palace, shooting straight into the Milky Way at the bottom of the sea!

--Azure Ring, now.

At that moment, it was as if the entire underwater world had fallen into a brief silence. The Azure Ring slowly rose behind Qin Yu, like a silent azure divine sun, upon which three unnamed patterns appeared, swirling like a wheel, reflecting the consciousness of all living beings.

Immediately, the Azure Ring trembled and opened, showering down azure light like divine light, like a rain of stars, like ancient pages of a book turning in the air, sprinkling into the consciousness of every injured person.

"What... what is this..." A dying elder weakly opened his eyes and murmured softly.

"My sea of consciousness... it's recovered... I see my construct chain being repaired..." Another guard trembled and wept.

Xingheng raised her eyes and gazed into the distance. In that instant, she seemed to see a god who wrote the cause and effect of destiny.

Every ray of blue light is a redemption from the sea of consciousness;

Every mark is a rebirth after annihilation.

Yan Yue said softly, "... He's made his move again."

Yunyi stood with her hands behind her back to one side, her eyes as calm as ever. "This is Azure Ring. Although we are familiar with each other, in this world... only he can activate it."

Zi Xue whispered, "This is... the true form of the Scribe of the Source."

Extinguished Light smiled gently, said nothing, and simply closed his eyes to feel the gentle light nurturing his sea of consciousness.

A moment later--

The Azure Ring slowly faded away, and everyone's injuries were fully healed. Their consciousness returned to stability, and their logical chains were restored to their original state. The broken formation shone again, and the life seals flowed, showing no signs of impending destruction.

The final chapter of this battle was truly closed by the life-saving healing at this moment.

Qin Yu turned around, looked at the Fate Que members who had stood up, and spoke softly:

"As long as you're alive, you haven't lost."

At this moment, the blue light still lingered in the main hall of the Fate Que Divine Temple, and everyone's injuries had just healed, returning to tranquility.

Qin Yu stepped forward slowly, his gaze calm yet carrying a heavy sense of responsibility. He looked at the Lord of Fate-Traces, Che Ming, and spoke in a clear, cold tone:

"Che Ming, my journey through time to assist the Fate Que Divine Temple in suppressing the darkness of the Annihilation Abyss was indeed no accident."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the remaining powerful figures in the main hall before turning to Xingheng:

"Firstly, it was entrusted by the future Xingheng Fate Master himself, who gave me the 'Star Abyss Fate Contract Ring' and the 'Fate Cause Memory Stone' to ask me to return to this place and help you reverse your fate and rewrite the tragedy of your Fate Que."

Everyone was moved again by her words. Xingheng nodded slightly, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Secondly--"

Qin Yu changed the subject, his eyes darkening.

"Our true objective in descending upon the Annihilation Heaven Overarching Realm is the [Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core] hidden deep within your race's lifeblood."

"That is an existence that transcends the laws of nature, the core keystone of an extremely important part of my future destiny."

He spoke frankly and without shame, revealing the reason without any concealment. At this moment, Yan Yue, Zi Xue, Yunyi, Extinguished Light also walked up behind him, standing side by side with firm attitudes.

A silence fell over the main hall.

Che Ming showed no anger, but instead let out a soft sigh, his voice deep and resonant:

"The Star Soul Core was originally the core that protected our clan's realm, but it sank into the Fate Abyss Forbidden Domain after a great battle ten thousand years ago. You are the one who reversed the Fate-Cause and reshaped its trajectory, and you have already saved my entire clan from the brink of annihilation."

"This thing--"

He rose and solemnly performed an ancient salute. "My Fate-Traces Clan, is willing to offer this with both hands."

Xingheng nodded slightly at this moment and said in a clear voice:

"The Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core is the core of Annihilation, but from now on its fate will be intertwined with yours. Perhaps... this is its true destiny."

Lord of Fate-Traces, Che Ming, nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

The group passed through the secret passage at the deepest part of the main hall and slowly walked along the long steps paved with silver star patterns. The surroundings were gradually shrouded in a faint layer of chaotic mist, as if time and space were discontinuous here, and perception became blurred and difficult to discern.

Yan Yue said softly, "The spacetime here... seems to be frozen by the 'Life Seal Barrier'."

Che Ming continued walking, replying in a deep voice, "Indeed, this is the deepest hidden Life Source Seal Domain of the Fate Que Divine Temple— "

[Star Abyss Annihilation Seal Altar].

As he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right palm, and a life pattern like a star track emerged from his palm. The nine rings of life track unfolded and led straight to the seemingly "Emptiness" chaotic barrier in front of him.

That is not a real door, but a cosmic fault line concealed by the principle of Fate-Cause. Only when the innate combat skill of the Lord of Fate-Traces, Che Ming Star Trace Cause-Opening Seal activated, will its true form as the "sole entrance" be revealed.

In an instant, a star pattern of annihilation light appeared on the wall, and after rotating for nine breaths, it suddenly opened with a roar.

Behind the door lies a closed dimension where even time itself is frozen.

Yan Yue said softly, "This door... gives me a sense of oppression that I can't 'decipher' at all."

Che Ming didn't turn around, but calmly said, "This seal is not subject to any rules or laws."

"Only the seal of my Lord of Fate-Traces, can open it. Even if your recently Annihilation Abyss Sovereign were to come here in person, she would not be able to budge it in the slightest."

"This gate cannot be deduced, cannot be traversed, and cannot be broken."

He paused, his voice low and solemn:

"This is the only irreplaceable forbidden area since the existence of the Fate Que Divine Temple."

Then, he placed the wisp of his Fate Soul imprint from his palm onto the core of his life rune—

Click--!

A soft sound, like the first chime of a celestial bell from the depths of the universe, deep and silent, yet resonating through the very souls of everyone present.

Immediately afterwards, the star-patterned gate slowly opened, and a beam of annihilated silver starlight illuminated the passage from within, revealing the true scene of the [Star Abyss Annihilation Seal Altar] to everyone's eyes...

Upon entering the final sealed door, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

That was a world completely different from any other place in the temple—

The silver sea flowed backward, and the four walls were all circular spiritual platforms constructed of starlight. Nine hundred and ninety-nine chains of life seals floated in the air, each linked to a sphere of light resembling an annihilated star core, slowly rotating.

The entire space has no physical form, yet it feels like being in the heart of the Milky Way, where galaxies flow, time sinks, and destiny whispers.

At the very center, a floating platform, seemingly forged from time itself, hangs alone atop the annihilation of light. Upon this platform, something silently floats—

It was that legendary artifact, long dormant for countless eons: the [Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core].

It is like a transparent crystal core that condenses the essence of countless stars, within which an entire star structure is slowly rotating. Every breath, a cosmic vortex of billions of particles flashes within it, only to vanish in an instant, like life and death, like the eternal flow, waiting only for the true ruler.

Yunyi murmured softly, "This... is the Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core... it's practically a life spirit condensed from the very origin of the universe."

Extinguished Light gazed silently at the Star Soul Core, his pupils reflecting the birth and desolation of an entire era.

Che Ming turned to look at Qin Yu, his gaze solemn:

"It is currently dormant; only the Fate Cause Master Seal and the Azure Ring Radiance in your hand can awaken its true power."

"From this day forward, the Fate Que Divine Temple... will have no further connection with it."

Qin Yu silently stepped forward, and Azure Ring slowly appeared behind him.

The next moment--

The Fate Cause Master Seal, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword, and the Azure Ring resonated together, illuminating the entire Life Source Altar Domain.

The Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core trembled slightly, as if responding to the sole destiny after countless eons...

--This moment marks the true beginning of the core returning to its master.

Deep within the [Star Abyss Annihilation Seal Altar], silver light shone like mist, and countless starlight floated in the air like a surging tide, as if the Milky Way had fallen.

At the heart of this desolate altar, the Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core floats silently in mid-air. Its shape is neither round nor heart-like, and its entire body is composed of countless flowing star tracks. Each track is engraved with ancient patterns of annihilation, life source, star soul, and time.

It was silent, yet it exuded a sense of dominance emanating from the depths of the universe.

As Qin Yu slowly stepped into the Fate Seal Array at the center of the Star Altar—

Buzz!!!

The entire altar suddenly trembled, and the Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core actually quivered on its own! The originally lifeless star trails were all lit up in that instant, as if the ancient Milky Way was awakening, and billions of stars rushed in like a tide, forming a "ten thousand stars paying homage to the master" posture around Qin Yu.

Azure Ring suddenly appeared in Qin Yu's soul!

The Azure Ring remained motionless, yet transformed into an anchor of Eternal Silence, suppressing the annihilation Fate-Cause surrounding the Star Soul Core.

The next moment, the Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core roared and a beam of Hengyuan Starlight that pierced through the entire altar domain shot straight into the sky!

This starlight pierced through the top floor of the temple, penetrated the seabed of the Milky Way, and caused nine Fate Abyss Star Seals to appear in the sky above the entire Fate Que Divine Temple.

All the powerful figures raised their heads in unison, their hearts filled with astonishment.

"That's... the complete awakening of the Star Soul Core!"

Within its core, the Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core actively released strands of primordial light, like fragments of billions of stars, which slowly merged into Qin Yu's body.

--boom!!!

In an instant, Qin Yu's aura surged like a heavenly thunderbolt Realm Breaking!

Behind him, besides the Azure Ring, a new star-patterned life seal appeared on his spine, as if he had forcibly taken over the primordial core of the Milky Way seal.

His blood began to boil, and countless star-path structures emerged in his sea of consciousness, like a "destiny plan" of the entire galaxy unfolding within him.

The Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword in his hand resonated and trembled, and newly engraved star soul chains appeared on the sword's body, their radiance intertwined with the rhythm of Fate-Cause and the eternal abyss.

In Qin Yu's eyes, the dual phenomena of star separation and life source recurrence were reflected.

Yunyi stared intently, murmuring softly, "He... is triggering the very logic of the entire Star Abyss..."

Yan Yue whispered, "No, Star Abyss chose him himself."

A few breaths later, the Eternal Abyss Star Soul Core completely merged into Qin Yu's body, transforming into a Fate-Cause star core deep within his sea of consciousness, spinning endlessly and controlling the beginning and end of cause and effect and destiny.

Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his demeanor was completely different from before.

Silent, ancient, the Lord of the Star Abyss.

He didn't speak, but at this moment, the lifeblood of the entire Star Abyss Altar seemed to revolve around him.
