Shared Radiance in the Halls · Fate Returns to the Radiant Domain

As the five followed Yao Guangxun into the Heavenly Radiance Hall, they were greeted by a magnificent stone altar with a five-ring structure, and fifty pillars of light were carved on it from bottom to top, as if recording the history of the life path that protects glory.

Yao Guangxun stood atop the highest ring and proclaimed in a loud voice:

"From this moment forward, the five of you are officially enrolled in the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall Palace's Guardian Order."

With a shake of his right palm, five golden pillars descended from the sky, rising before Qin Yu, Yan Yue, Mirror Abyss Yu, Lan Xuanzhou, and Luo Guifeng respectively. On each pillar, the inscription of their rankings was clearly displayed:

Third Pillar Guardian - Qin Yu (Primordial Void Realm)

Second Pillar Guardian - Yan Yue (Mid-stage, Primordial Void Realm)

Fifth Pillar Guardian - Mirror Abyss - Yu (High-Rank Primordial Void Realm)

The Seventeenth Pillar Guardian - Lan Xuanzhou (Primordial Void Realm - Ultimate)

The Fifteenth Pillar Guardian - Luo Guifeng (Intermediate Level, Primordial Void Realm)

Yao Guangxun's voice fell like a waterfall of stars:

"From this day forward, you will be among the fifty guardians of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, bearing three great missions: to guard this source, to purge the enemies of the Abyss, and to uphold the order of life."

⸻

Three Major Missions - Solemnly Assigned

1. Guarding the Source Realm - No Loss Allowed

--Fifty guardians of the temple, each corresponding to key points such as the Abyss of Fate Sequence, the Heavenly Radiance Hall, and the Annihilation Realm Lock Domain, stand guard around the clock to resist external enemies from the Annihilation Abyss and anomalies in the realm.

2. Eliminate the enemy in the deep and uphold justice by punishing the false.

Those who obtain the status of a guard can command the discipline team to clean up those who disrupt order, those who lurk in the abyss of evil and engage in smuggling, and those who tamper with the course of fate.

3. Upholding Order and Determining Causes

--When the order of destiny is disordered, the proposition collapses, or the pillar of the Realm Master is shaken, the temple guards will become the last guardians of the destiny, and can perform the "Disruption of Order and Sealing of the Abyss" absolute destiny lock operation.

⸻

Yao Guangxun's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the five people:

"You have already stood at the forefront of one of the highest honors in the entire Source of Epochless. But the protection of the temple is not merely an honor, but the sharpest line of defense in the entire structure of destiny—if it breaks, all worlds will collapse."

At this moment, within the palace, the "Destiny Pillar Emblem" engraved with radiant light shone before each of the five individuals, symbolizing their formal investiture as pillars.

Yan Yue and Qin Yu stood side by side, exchanging slight smiles, their eyes reflecting stars like stars in a mirror, igniting waves of fighting spirit that would shake the very order of destiny.

The other three also looked solemn, incorporating their guardian life emblems into their soul consciousness, officially entering the strongest guardian sequence of the Source Realm!

Yao Guangxun stood atop the high altar, gazing at the five newly appointed temple guards standing solemnly before him. His eyes were calm and dignified, yet his voice, like a deep, resonant bell, penetrated straight to the soul:

"Alright, this concludes the Temple Guardian promotion ceremony."

The radiance of the dome of the Heavenly Radiance Hall slowly faded, and the five pillars of destiny within the palace fell silent. The starlight gradually dimmed, leaving only Yao Guangxun's figure standing atop the altar, his robes fluttering, like an unmoving wall of Jiyuan.

His gaze swept over Qin Yu, Yan Yue, Mirror Abyss Yu, Lan Xuanzhou, and Luo Guifeng again, and he slowly spoke:

"The five of you have undergone the trials of the Fate-Path Star Wheel and the Challenge of Fate Authority, and have all established yourselves as pillars of the temple with undeniable strength. From now on, you will no longer be novice disciples of your respective halls, but pillars of the temple and protectors of the destiny order of the Source Realm."

The conversation abruptly changed, Yao Guangxun hardened:

"Remember, from this day forward, temple guards are forbidden from engaging in private duels!"

"Your duty is to uphold the order of destiny, not to fight amongst yourselves for power. Anyone who disobeys this order will be immediately expelled from the temple, stripped of their guardian insignia, and forever forbidden from entering the temple!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall became solemn. Even the most flamboyant Mirror Abyss Yu and Lan Xuanzhou, stood at attention, not daring to slacken in the slightest.

Yao Guangxun then looked at Qin Yu and Yan Yue:

"You two are now ranked among the top three in the temple, and are also disciples of the temple. You must set an example by adhering to the temple's rules and regulations in all tasks, orders, and actions, and must not deviate from the established order."

The five men bowed in unison, their voices clear and solemn:

"I will obey the commander's orders!"

--A flash of light appeared in the palace, Yao Guangxun finally withdrew his oppressive aura, his tone softening slightly:

"You are all tired. You may now return to your respective main temples to rest. In the future, if the temple issues any orders, they will be communicated through the insignia. There is no need to bother others."

Having said that, he waved his sleeve, and five spatial runes appeared behind the hall, each leading to the exclusive temple residence of the five new guards. In the radiance, a silent yet magnificent world slowly opened up.

That was their glorious stronghold.

Qin Yu, Yan Yue, Mirror Abyss Yu, Lan Xuanzhou, and Luo Guifeng turned around in turn and stepped into the spatial gate one by one. The group glanced back at the top of the temple, their eyes no longer filled with the shock of their first arrival, but with a firm and silent determination as they steadily stepped into the core of Ji Yuan.

Behind them, Yao Guangxun watched their retreating figures and murmured to himself:

"The Abyss of Fate Sequence... perhaps it truly will be rewritten by you young people."

--The portal slowly closed, and the five returned to their respective temples. Thus, the entire temple guard promotion ceremony officially came to an end.

Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, Eastern Region – East of the Radiant Palace.

This previously unknown temple domain, after Qin Yu and Yan Yue officially became temple guardians, finally began to slowly unveil its brilliance that had been sealed for billions of years.

The vast, pillar-like gate to the Radiant Seal Realm quietly opened in the sky. Stepping inside, the group suddenly felt the world spinning, with countless rays of light sweeping in from all directions. It was no longer the restless chaos of spatial transfer, but an Ultimate, sacred cycle of destiny.

In the next instant, Qin Yu, Yan Yue, Zi Xue, Yunyi, Extinguished Light descended together into an unprecedented divine realm:

--The Radiant Palace Eastern Region Conradiance Halls!

Looking up, the entire temple complex stretched out like the light of an era, spanning thirty-three heavens and the Nine Abyss Realms, making it impossible to see through at a glance.

At the very center of the temple are two peaks, one named "Radiant Abyss Main Hall" and the other "Dawn and Silence Lady's Terrace," symbolizing the master and assistant guarding the order of destiny together—these are the exclusive main temples of Qin Yu and Yan Yue!

Every step, floating bridge, and palace wall is engraved with the Initial Fate emblem of destiny from the Celestial Order of Destiny. The inscriptions are extremely ancient, as if they were injected into this place at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth. They can only be viewed from afar and cannot be touched. The heavenly steps in front of the palace descend from the ninth heaven, and each step is paved with radiant stone. Each stone contains the core star crystal left behind after a star was annihilated.

The entire palace floats above a constant star sea called "Radiant Abyss". The star sea is calm, but every breath, billions of stars float and reconstruct, like an inextinguishable furnace of destiny, providing the palace with an inexhaustible power to construct the world.

Above Radiant Abyss, twelve floating star-shaped Divine Rank slowly rotated, each leading to different dwellings, spell-comprehension towers, destiny-construction pavilions, and even teleportation vortexes leading to the Annihilation Abyss Spirit Spring and the Silent Dawn Spirit Treasury. Each of these places is a top-level location for refining the soul, cultivating knowledge, sealing, and conceiving ideas.

Deep within this palace domain, there is a quietly rotating ancient wall of radiant light, with the eight characters "Radiant Palace of the East Pole, Together with Radiant Light, Suppressing the Abyss" engraved on it. It is said that the first leader of the temple personally carved it with the original bone of the Destiny Track, just to suppress the power of heaven and earth here!

Standing in this unparalleled temple domain, even Extinguished Light and Zi Xue, who had already witnessed the extremes of time, were filled with indescribable shock.

Zi Xue exhaled softly, her phoenix eyes reflecting the endless splendor of the Star Palace: "... This is the core domain of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall? It's practically an unmoving universe of destiny..."

Yunyi's eyes shimmered with Illusory Dragon light as she whispered, "This palace is not within the realm... it is itself a domain of Fate Abyss, enough to suppress countless enemies beyond the epoch."

Yan Yue quietly raised her eyes, gazing at the Xi Ji Platform, and suddenly spoke:

"This temple... seems to have been tailor-made for us."

Before her voice had even faded, the thirty-three rings of light above the palace suddenly hummed softly, and countless life patterns appeared, automatically Annihilation Dawn and falling, as if responding to the thoughts of Yan Yue.

Qin Yu remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

"From this day forward, this place... will be our origin."

His voice was deep and resolute.

At this moment, he stood side by side with Yan Yue, and behind them were three companions who had gone through everything together: Zi Xue, Yunyi, and Extinguished Light.

--The five stood amidst the radiant light of the Radiant Palace, as the wind rose in the Fate Realm, illuminating the future.

This Radiant Palace Eastern Region, surpassing all myths and cultivation scriptures, has thus begun a new chapter!

Above the Radiant Abyss, the five people slowly walked along the Radiant Divine Rank, and entered the depths of the palace gate through the double Radiant Main Vein Light Bridge that descended from the sky.

This palace gate, 90,000 feet high and 10,000 feet wide, is forged from the Crystal Soul of the Silent Radiance Crystal Essence and the Annihilated Star Gold Bone. It is like a seam where two realms meet. The gate is engraved with the totem of twin radiance, one bright and one silent, one born and one dying, intertwining to symbolize the eternal destiny.

When Qin Yu and Yan Yue stepped onto the star staircase of the "Threshold of the Main Radiance" at the same time, the entire Radiant Abyss instantly emitted a gentle yet profound divine sound!

Boom--!

The Radiant Gate slowly opened, not with a push, but with a sound like the tolling of a cosmic bell and the resonance of the Dao veins, as if the entire Radiant Realm was softly chanting for the return of the newly appointed Destiny Master.

Five people stepped inside.

Suddenly--

A deep palace world, sealed by time and woven by destiny, unfolded before them.

This is the true core interior of the Conradiance Halls:

[Silent Dawn Radiance Hall] -- The core of the main hall shared by Qin Yu and Yan Yue

The hall is three hundred layers high, with nine floating walls on each side, each recording the celestial orbits of the source of the Radiant Abyss. Each floating wall can be activated by the soul, automatically opening the spellbook, the life chain, and the celestial calculation.

At the center of the hall stands the Annihilation Dawn Dual Soul Seat, constructed from both the Radiant Crystal Light and the Annihilation Abyss Core. Every inch of its stone surface contains the convergence of countless destiny nodes, which can accelerate the cultivation of soul consciousness and seal skill structures, making it the true seat of destiny master.

On the two high walls on either side hang the soul inscriptions of Qin Yu and Yan Yue, all hand-drawn by the temple guards using "Annihilation Inscription Gold Ink," imprinting their main Fate Soul, core techniques, and realm changes, giving the entire Yao Palace a unique destiny mark belonging to them.

Qin Yu slowly took his seat on the left, Yan Yue sat gracefully on the right soul platform. Between dawn and dusk, divine light poured down from the ceiling, falling directly on them, as if the day of their life's origin and the night of their death were shining together!

[Radiant-Pattern Residence] -- The auxiliary hall where Zi Xue, Yunyi, and Extinguished Light reside.

Behind the main hall, three gates with radiant patterns lead to three independent floating palaces that resonate with the main hall.

Zi Xue Residence: Phoenix Radiance Star Terrace

The palace resembled phoenix wings unfurling their light, its walls constructed of Starfire Mystic Stone, with a blazing star core suspended in the center, echoing her Innate Martial Soul [Star-Commanding Mystic Phoenix]. Every day during her cultivation, starfire would fall from the sky, reshaping her destiny's fiery feathers.

Yunyi Residence: Abyssal Dream Illusion Tower

A mirage mirror hangs suspended in mid-air, and the four walls of the hall are covered with "dragon soul images" that can reflect the changes in one's own soul consciousness. Floating water flows in layers, leading to the Soul Realm Illusionary World and the Spirit Breath Platform, making it the ultimate place for illusions and imagination.

Dwelling in Extinguished Light: Annihilation Light Silent Gallery

A grey-gold domed palace floats in the deepest part of the world, devoid of any light source, yet radiating its own light. Within the palace are inscribed billions of "remnants of extinct skills," collected by the Extinguished Light, intended only for sedimentation, understanding, and rewriting.

These three floating palaces of the soul abode are entwined by the Radiant Abyss Star Orbit, like three radiant branches entwining the trunk of the soul tree of the life master, and they rise in sync with Qin Yu and Yan Yue's cultivation.

[Soul Realm - Initial Return to One]

The moment the five people took their places and completed the initiation ceremony, the entire Radiant Palace Eastern Region · Conradiance Halls began to truly resonate and connect with their soul structures.

The low murmur of the Annihilation Abyss, the breath of the Star Sea, and the soul-order rhythm of the Temple all began to slowly revolve around them...

At that moment, Qin Yu opened his eyes, looked at Yan Yue, and smiled slightly.

Yan Yue around and smiled calmly.

She spoke softly:

"From this day forward, this will be our roots."

Qin Yu continued, "It is also the starting point for the future Lord of Destiny to descend."

--The day when the silent dawn shines, the time when the destined master returns to his rightful place.

The moment Yan Yue finished speaking, the five of them finally lowered their guard and began to explore and settle into their respective floating palaces.

On the Phoenix Radiance Star Terrace, Zi Xue stepped in and froze on the spot. Between the palaces, starlight flowed, feather light soared in the air, and the phantom of the Nine Profound Phoenix Wings drew an eternal trajectory in the sky, as if all the palaces of the celestial realm had lost their luster.

She slowly looked up at the star core that hung high above the palace ceiling, constantly releasing the Fate-Path Star the Phoenix Clan. Her slightly widened eyes reflected the golden-purple starlight, and she murmured:

"This... this is more than ten times more magnificent than the Phoenix-Roosting Immortal Terrace... how is this possible... even the legendary 'Star Feather Soul Guidance' has been recreated..."

Zi Xue's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed a rare brilliance. She was once the daughter of the Phoenix, one of the nine realms of the Immortal Realm, a being who truly transcended the Dao Ancestor, True Immortal Emperor, and True God. She had seen countless Heavenly Palaces and wondrous palaces, but at this moment, she was willingly so shocked that she could not speak.

She slowly sat down, the sparks dancing in her hair like a phoenix in flight.

"So... this is where my destiny led me after being with him."

Meanwhile, in the Abyssal Dream Illusion Tower on the other side, Yunyi was playfully lying on the edge of the illusory mirror, her hands supporting her chin, watching the illusory images of "herself" around her constantly changing styles and shapes, having a great time.

She turned and shouted out:

"Yan Yue! Look! I think I can rehearse the trajectory of my soul skill here! And I can even see the deviation in the enemy's perception chain, hehe, this is so much fun!"

After he finished speaking, the illusion in the mirror suddenly changed, transforming into Qin Yu's appearance, except that he now had two small dragon horns on his head.

Yunyi chuckled, her eyes curving into crescent moons:

"Oh my, this is exactly what I was thinking! Hey, the Soul Mirror Residence play tricks on people, truly worthy of the Dreamlike Illusionary Tower~"

As she spoke, she leaped up and floated in the illusion mirror as if "swimming," the entire Abyssal Dream Illusion Tower becoming like the most vibrant ripple in the realm of spirits amidst her laughter.

At this moment, Qin Yu looked at the two of them, chuckled, and turned to look at Yan Yue.

Yan Yue's eyes remained calm as she whispered, "This is just the beginning. 'Our future, and the future of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, we are destined to write our own story.'

--Conradiance Halls, the Lord ordered to return to the stage.

The vast and profound destiny begins here.
