The Battle Scroll Rolled Shut · The Book of Fate Reopened

The old woman roared wildly in the void, tearing the air apart as she cursed the divine tree, Qin Yu and his group, and all logic and rules.

But she didn't realize that the real sacred tree had already quietly made its choice.

The moment she tore the gold page—

The entire Void Divine Tree suddenly emitted a resounding "boom" that trembled like a heavenly drum!

The five people are Qin Yu, Yunyi, Yan Yue, Zi Xue, and Extinguished Light.

They didn't use any skills, didn't speak, and didn't even communicate.

But their bodies were slowly lifted into the air by an irresistible force.

A golden radiance surged from their feet, rising up their spines, piercing their souls, and reaching...

Between their brows, an unprecedented Annihilation Gold Starlight shone forth!

That's not a soul skill. It's not a martial skill. It's not a structural skill.

That was the opening of the only page of the sacred tree itself.

Five rays of light spun and converged rapidly in the air, forming an ancient circular seal.

There is no language printed on it.

Yet it carries with it the Ultimate law that is "unspeakable, unwritten, and inviolable."

At that moment, Annihilation Gold Starlight appeared between the brows of the five people—

It does not burn, but slowly emerges, as if a deity is silently writing an inviolable definition.

The entire space fell into absolute stillness; all wind, light, time, and the breath of the soul were frozen.

As the Annihilation Gold Starlight swirled, there was no killing intent, yet it suppressed the heavens and earth to the point that no sound could be heard, as if any syllable would be deemed "superfluous."

Within the starlight, there was no fire, no electricity, no shadow; only fragments of translucent book pages floated slowly at its core.

Those fragments, seemingly from countless lost world scrolls, were glued together and rewritten by the golden luster, ultimately forming a [Law-Sealing Circular Seal].

Its trajectory doesn't pierce through space; instead, it causes space to "self-delete."

Where the starlight passed, there were no explosions, no shockwaves; only the air transformed into words, each word a broken line, turning into fragments of dust, returning to the blank pages of Stillness Book.

The entire battlefield seemed to be slowly "erased" from the air by a pen.

The Annihilation Gold Starlight wasn't dazzling, yet it was blindingly bright, as if it weren't light, but rather the "defined brightness" of existence itself.

When it finally settled in the air, the line between heaven and earth split open, like a page torn off, then calmly closed, silently "peeling away the target".

No blood. No ashes. No sense of impact.

Its essence is this. "If you define yourself as 'nothing,' the world will no longer create images for you."

The old woman's face turned pale instantly; she finally realized what it was:

She screamed frantically, "That's... not what you wrote!!"

"That's itself... it's itself!!"

"No!! You can't write down my death!!"

She wanted to escape, to reintegrate herself into the main trunk of the sacred tree, but this time, the sacred tree simply refused to acknowledge her access.

Qin Yu softly uttered four words: "Write your final chapter."

--The golden seal slowly descended.

Unhurried and unhurried, yet carrying an irresistible destiny.

The entire Annihilation Heaven Overarching Realm fell silent for a moment. Then--

"Buzz!!"

All the golden pages on the Tree of the Void trembled simultaneously, as if paying their final respects to this attack.

The golden seal quietly imprinted itself on the old woman's soul page.

The next instant—her body did not explode.

Instead, it disappeared slowly from all records of existence, stroke by stroke, as if erased from the Book of the World.

She struggled, cried out, screamed, and cursed wildly...

But all the sounds, movements, and forms—can no longer be written down!

Until—she Annihilation completely into nothingness.

No wreckage. No breath. No corpse.

Only a faint, lingering message of the soul remained in the air before dissipating:

"... I just wanted to... be the one who was written down..."

She ultimately failed to understand: those who are recognized by the divine book are not those who are obsessed with "writing it into the book".

Rather, it is someone who can stand as tall as a book and walk shoulder to shoulder with a pen.

--The Annihilation Realm is desolate. The five people landed slowly, and the Annihilation Gold Marks on their bodies had returned to calm.

The Void Divine Tree once again fell silent, its branches and leaves swaying gently, as if completing its final annotation.

This World-Covering destiny has come to an end.

The void finally fell silent.

Qin Yu and his group of five landed slowly, the golden markings around them fading away, like the final chapter of a completed judgment, slowly returning to its page.

The Void Divine Tree, standing between heaven and earth, still stands tall deep within the World-Covering.

But now, it no longer commands the world, no longer shines like the sun.

It fell silent, like an old man who had completed his writing mission, standing in the wind, speechless.

--At this very moment.

The Azure Ring appeared in Qin Yu's sea of consciousness.

It appeared silently, yet as clearly as the whisper of life itself.

The Azure Ring slowly rotated in the void, eventually landing gently on Qin Yu's right hand.

A clear yet resolute voice transmitted. "With a drop of your blood."

Qin Yu remained silent, his right hand outstretched.

With a gentle stroke, Azure Ring released a drop of deep red life essence blood, which floated in the air without falling.

The blood neither splattered nor dripped, but instead—within the Azure Ring's radiance—was sealed as a still, suspended bead of blood.

The next instant, Azure Ring trembled and, carrying that drop of blood, flew towards the Void Divine Tree!

--Just as Azure Ring was about to approach the sacred tree.

The entire sacred tree suddenly hummed softly—

That was not a sound, but a divine pulse that seemed to emanate from the depths of the Annihilation Abyss!

Like the breath of billions of divine trees, billions of lonely souls simultaneously return to their source:

"Whoosh...--Buzz..."

The entire World-Covering trembled slightly.

The branches of the sacred tree emitted a rhythmic pulsation resembling the cracking of golden threads, which then manifested in a way visible to the naked eye—

Slimming down slowly! Inch by inch, foot by foot, until finally the size of a palm!

The divine tree, which resembled a pillar of starry sky, transformed into a palm-sized ancient branch of annihilated gold under the guidance of Qin Yu's drop of blood. The branch was still trembling, and its divine aura had not yet dissipated!

At this moment, the Azure Ring suddenly unleashed an Ultimate azure-blade light!

The Azure Ring circled the shrunken divine tree, its speed increasing until it transformed into a wheel of annihilating azure!

"Buzz--" Blue and gold blend together.

The brilliance constantly intertwines, collides, and merges!

Finally, the entire divine tree was completely enveloped within the azure ring amidst the Azure Ring light!

At that moment, blue and gold merged into one point simultaneously.

The Azure Ring flashed suddenly, carrying the "divine wood core," and entered Qin Yu's brow without any hindrance.

Deep within her sea of consciousness, the Azure Ring slowly returned to its original position.

And the core manifestation of that Void Divine Tree—

It quietly emerged in the deepest part of Qin Yu's consciousness, like a seed resting in desolate soil, waiting for the writer of destiny to write a new chapter.

Qin Yu slightly closed his eyes, feeling a sense of acknowledgment of the logic of the universe that he had never experienced before.

It's not just about possessing sacred trees.

It was the sacred tree that chose to be carried by him.

--The Annihilation Heaven Overarching Realm, and the divine tree was no more. The divine tree now belongs to the author.

And this pen is held in Qin Yu's soul.

The moment the Azure Ring disappeared into his brow, Qin Yu's sea of consciousness trembled slightly.

He slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness gradually sinking into a deeper layer of his soul—

--Until he "saw" it.

That was the deepest part of his consciousness, a source domain he had never touched before.

What was once Emptiness and silent place now has a building—

The realm of the divine tree, where shimmering gold and azure light intertwine.

An entire Void Divine Tree had already taken root and formed a forest at the bottom of the sea of consciousness, no longer just branches and trunks, but:

A tree that Fate-Cause the origin of the world.

The main trunk of the sacred tree still displayed a golden hue, but its branches were entwined with countless strands of green light, like threads of law, like the brush of destiny, like the tip of the Dao, gently undulating in the sea of consciousness.

Each leaf seems to record some kind of "unfinished technique".

And right at the very top of that sacred tree—

The Azure Ring hung there quietly.

It is no longer cold and silent, but releases wisps of green light like a child leaping, weaving back and forth among the branches, and even leaving green patterns on some leaves, as if trying to "rewrite the logic of the sacred tree".

The entire sacred tree swayed gently under its guidance, releasing an unprecedented divine power:

Non-attack, non-blocking, non-attribution.

Rather, it is—"the master of anti-logical constructs."

At that moment, Qin Yu seemed to understand:

The sacred tree is merely the pre-ordained writer of the world.

But the Azure Ring —that's the true essence of the brushstroke.

After I put pen to paper, I wrote the page.

Qin Yu gently opened his eyes, his consciousness returning to its place, but he knew—

He is no longer the same person he was before.

What he contains within him is not just a soul map, not just a life chain.

Rather, it is a single tree, capable of being written upon, overturned, and having its own Annihilation Realm determined.

And the vibrant Azure Ring on the branch, dancing joyfully, seemed to have finally completed its initial mission:

--It has found its own root in the main world.

In the instant that consciousness settled—

Qin Yu slowly lowered his head and looked at his right finger, which had just been cut by Azure Ring.

The wound, which should have stopped bleeding, now slowly revealed a faint mark of fused gold and blue light.

That was not an ordinary scar, nor was it a scab or surgical procedure.

It was a mark that seemed to have "grown" from the branches and leaves of the sacred tree, in the shape of a six-pointed star, appearing on the skin, yet also seemingly deeply embedded in the bone marrow and life chain.

As the mark slowly solidified and took shape, the entire space trembled slightly.

Deep within his consciousness, the divine tree and the Azure Ring simultaneously let out a low murmur, as if responding to the "destiny of the master."

He understood. It wasn't a mark—it was divine skill.

That was the only divine power left behind by the Lord of the Annihilation Heaven Overarching Realm.

[Annihilation Gold Starlight]

Skill Rank: Divine Tree's Unique Seal Technique

Owner: Qin Yu (Uniquely Bound, Non-Transferable)

Technical skills: Erasure, Deletion, Absolute Judgment

Skill definition:

Annihilation Gold Starlight is the unique life skill inherited by the Void Divine Tree Qin Yu the battle at the core of the Annihilation Heaven Overarching Realm.

This technique requires no explanation, no logic, and no technical construct.

Once released, the target will be immediately deleted from existence.

Unrestricted by the enemy's territory

Unaffected by skill resistance

Regardless of whether the causal chain is complete

Regardless of whether the enemy is under a legitimate state of world order

All of these should be considered "erroneous propositions" that can be deleted or modified.

Limitations:

This skill is permanently bound to Qin Yu and cannot be inherited, copied, or interfered with by others.

At this stage, it only has the effect of [eliminating and weakening].

Only after reaching the "Severed Intent Realm" can the Annihilation Gold Starlight truly unleash its power to "instantly annihilate all existence."

If used frequently and forcibly, it may result in Shenmu being blocked and Azure Ring being demoted.

Skill Forms:

After activation, the Annihilation Gold and Azure Seal appeared on Qin Yu's right finger, and the seal automatically guided the Divine Wood to make a judgment after rotating.

Once a target is determined to be "deletable," it will be directly [deleted from the world] without blood, explosions, or sound; it will simply Annihilation.

Those who are deleted will lose the possibility of being recorded by any logic, leaving no trace of their consciousness, no entry into reincarnation, and no possibility of going back in time.

The illusory gold and blue seal remained quietly solidified on Qin Yu's right finger.

Within the sea of consciousness, the Azure Ring returned to its place, and the Divine Tree remained silent, but the suffocating divine power still lingered.

Qin Yu remained silent, his eyes lowered gently, as if all of this was simply a natural progression.

At this moment, the four people standing behind him— Yan Yue, Yunyi, Zi Xue, and Extinguished Light —looked at him, but none of them showed the slightest surprise.

Their expressions were calm, even faintly smiling, as if they had always known that there would be no other outcome.

Yan Yue's eyes were clear, and she softly uttered a sigh:

"Hmm... As expected, the sacred tree has chosen you too."

Yunyi looked up, and Golden Radiance and purple lightning flashed slightly in the depths of her eyes. A soft smile appeared on her lips. Without saying a word, she slowly stepped forward and stood beside Qin Yu.

She didn't say a word, but her actions expressed all her trust.

Wherever you go, I will follow you.

Zi Xue lowered her phoenix eyelashes slightly, gently clenched her fist, but her eyes were no longer lost.

She knew she hadn't participated in the final ruling, but her heart had never strayed:

I'm willing to stand behind you, even if I can't see the light ahead of you.

The Extinguished Light remained silent, only its starlight trembled slightly.

Her aura, as distant and serene as the final light, also at this moment concealed all its sharpness—

It was as if, in her heart, the place where Qin Yu stood was where the light fell.

No one was surprised. No one asked why.

They'd all gotten used to it: he was supposed to be unsolvable.

He stood at the forefront, possessing the power to write his own destiny.

This is not a miracle—it is destiny, and he was destined to wield the pen.

At this moment, they stood at the deepest part of the Annihilation Heaven Overarching Realm, the divine tree had entered their bodies, and the Annihilation War had come to an end.

But they all knew in their hearts: this was not the end.

Rather, it is the prologue to the path they will take in the future.

Just as the five people's eyes met, and the divine tree's imprint returned to their hearts...

Beneath Qin Yu's clothes, a deep yet dazzling light suddenly shone out—

It was an ancient scroll of patterns, as deep and round as an abyss, as precious as life itself.

--[Annihilation Abyss Original Map]!

The divine image that had been quietly dormant deep within his soul armor seemed to be awakened by some invisible summons.

The scroll trembled slightly, as if the fate of a thousand years had been turned over at once.

"Buzz--!"

In an instant, a low, booming sound echoed from the depths of the entire Annihilation Heaven Overarching Realm.

The Annihilation Abyss Original Map suddenly burst forth with an irresistible light!

That light was invisible, silent, Nameless, yet—

An absolute command, you must return to your post. Yan Yue around, her gaze sharpening.

Yunyi's figure flickered slightly, and she was about to speak, but she was already unable to move.

Just as Zi Xue was about to form a hand seal, she discovered that her soul consciousness had been frozen.

As if sensing Extinguished Light "final light returning to its orbit," the light wings lowered, silently accepting the situation.

Qin Yu himself, at the center of the swirling light, watched as the image slowly unfolded.

One page marks the beginning of fate. One page marks the battle of fate. One page marks the return of fate.

The next page is titled "Death's End".

Before they could even speak, the scroll suddenly closed!

All five were simultaneously Annihilation Abyss.

There was no struggle, no refusal.

Their figures vanished instantly into the deepest part of the Annihilation Heaven Overarching Realm.

And after they left, heaven and earth slowly returned to true silence.

The light returned.

When they opened their eyes again--

I was already in a place that was all too familiar. That was--

The Source of Epochless, the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, the Main Courtyard.

The flowers and trees remain, the courtyard stones stand silently.

The stars slowly shifted, and the gentle breeze still caressed my clothes.

It was as if this chapter of annihilation had never happened.

But they all knew--

Everything is completely different now.

Qin Yu stood quietly in the courtyard, slowly raising his head.

The golden-blue seal on his right hand had not faded, and the divine light between his brows remained.

Yan Yue, Yunyi, Zi Xue, and Extinguished Light all stood behind him, quietly watching him and this place of return.

There were no words. Only the world awaited—as they turned the page to a new chapter of destiny.
