Heavenly Emanation's Realm Rift · A Fated Trap

The Source of Epochless, the Master of Ji Lü, the Ultimate Domain of the Observation Hall.

This place is devoid of light, Boundless Realm, and forms; only countless lifelines flow like a sea of stars across the main hall's dome.

As Qin Yu stepped inside, the aura around him was instantly suppressed to an extreme stillness.

He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, stepped into the center of the hall, and addressed the white-clad woman standing before the Myriad Fates Star Chart in a respectful voice:

"Junior Qin Yu pays respects to Venerable Lord Tong Ning."

"I wonder what important matter Your Majesty has summoned me for?"

The woman slowly turned around.

Her eyes reflected the entire Epoch Realm, yet her expression was as cold as a mirror slicing stars; she was none other than the Origin Venerable Judge · Tong Ning — the Supreme of the Silent Mystery Realm, the master of the Source of Epochless.

With a flick of her sleeve, an image of overlapping destiny diagrams unfolded in the air, and she said:

"Please sit down, this is of great importance."

After a moment, her tone became extremely serious:

"At the very moment you Annihilation your Tyranny Clan, I sensed through the 'Observation and Prophecy Realm' that... the True Word Extremity Hall and the Returning Consciousness Clan simultaneously implemented a 'Epoch Realm- Level Name Deletion Strategy' against you."

"They not only made their own arrangements, but also relayed the message to the high-ranking officials of the main halls within the era, including the Fate Que Hall, the Tower of Fate Cause Spirit Tower, the Law God Origin Court, and the Epoch Book Sealing Abyss."

"At the same time, the three pure-blooded Epoch Origin Clans— the Ancient Clan Eternal Consciousness Evolution Clan, the Ink Spirit Annihilation Clan, and the Dream Lock Palace— have also been affected... and have jointly launched a plan to kill you."

Qin Yu's gaze sharpened, but he remained expressionless, only asking:

When to make a move?

Tong Ning looked at a broken point in the center of the destiny chart and whispered three words:

Three days later.

"Three days later, the 'Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm,' which only opens once every ten million years at the Source of Epochless, will open in the Epoch Eastern Void Layer of the Source of Nothingness."

With a flick of her finger, the Destiny Chart began to rotate, and a fantastical universe, created by a spacetime rift and manifesting itself, appeared in the projection.

She said slowly:

"The Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm was not constructed by human hands, but rather a divine rift born from the chaotic flow of Spiritual Qi and logic Source of Epochless of time."

Legend has it that the Treasure Realm contains the source of all the world's greatest treasures—magical artifacts, immortal herbs, divine weapons, talismans, extraordinary flames, celestial formations, and primordial cultivation techniques...

"Each treasure possesses its own consciousness, and after taking human form, its weakest is at the 'Realm Lord Realm · Initial Stage'!"

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly:

"A realm is formed in a breath, souls harmonize with the laws... Those below the Realm Master can't even collect treasures?"

Tong Ning nodded:

"Even more so, some are formed from fragments of cosmic rules, possessing complete Dao Source logic... Some illusory beings have reached the Only Book Realm, and even..."

She paused, then uttered four words:

"Annihilation Dawn Realm: Supreme"

Qin Yu's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:

"Beneath the Epoch Realm, such a thing was conceived?"

Tong Ning stared at him:

"You should know best, because you yourself... have already come into contact with the fundamental logic of the 'Annihilation Dawn Realm'."

She warned in a deep voice:

"This time, they chose the best time to act."

"If you step into the Treasure Realm, it will be like 'entering a multidimensional killing array alone.'"

"Countless forces within the realm will use the pretext of plundering the treasure to set up their own formations, leveraging the power of the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm... to utterly annihilate you."

The hall was silent, and the reflection of the star map slowly swirled in Qin Yu's eyes.

He whispered only one word:

"... They chose the wrong time."

Then he turned and stood up, the Azure Ring appearing and disappearing in his palm, and the pages of the Life-Annihilating Dawn Codex Scripture silently turned a corner.

"Because I'm going this time too."

"Not to hide... but to seize."

Tong Ning's tone was slightly gentle, yet it contained supreme authority:

"... The most important point is--"

"Deep within the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm, all the treasures, living beings, cultivation techniques, and divine artifacts..."

"They all possess an extremely terrifying attribute— 'Supreme Origin Destruction Thought'."

Qin Yu frowned slightly, his expression gradually hardening.

With a light wave of her hand, a luminous seal appeared in the void, transforming into a line of gleaming golden characters:

The Supreme Origin Destruction Thought – a concept forbidden to be discussed in the Epoch Realm.

Tong Ning's eyes turned slightly cold, and her voice was slow and deliberate:

"It is not a skill, not a law, nor the power of cultivation, but rather—"

"The Ultimate will of annihilation originating from the very origin of the universe, beneath its narrative mechanism."

As she finished speaking, the star map behind her shook violently, as if the entire Source of Epochless was shaken by this "thought".

Qin Yu stood quietly in the center of the hall, listening as Tong Ning slowly uttered those four words—

"The Supreme Origin Destruction Thought."

In an instant, the Fate-Path Star inside the observation hall suddenly went dark.

Above the palace dome, a black-gold magic seal suddenly appeared, swirling around the Heavenly Dao engravings, with the following clearly imprinted at its center:

Extinction of Thoughts

Tong Ning shone with a deep light. She turned and walked towards Qin Yu, her voice ethereal and Silent Realm:

Do you know what 'the source is extinguished' means?

"It's an Existence Denial that transcends dimensions, logic, causality, and narrative."

She walked slowly forward, and with a wave of her jade hand, a series of astonishing afterimages appeared on the Destiny Chart:

A powerful expert at the Annihilation Lord Realm was instantly annihilated simply by touching the shadow of the transformed strange fire; even his name was "erased" from the family genealogy.

When an Annihilation Lord Realm · Supreme elder of the Epoch Book Sealing Abyss, was facing a divine talisman, he was instantly annihilated by the "thought" before he could even ask a question, and even the time in which he existed was reversed to blank.

"That wasn't an attack, that wasn't killing..."

"Instead, in a single thought, you can be made to 'never have existed'."

She paused, then added in a low voice:

But you don't need to panic.

"This thought, though terrifying, only causes absolute annihilation to those below the Primordial Void Realm."

"Now that you have entered the No Consciousness Realm, Yan Yue, Yunyi, and Extinguished Light are all beings who have surpassed the Primordial Void."

"Therefore, while these Source Extinction Thought can suppress you, they cannot be completely wiped out with a single thought."

Qin Yu then slowly nodded, his eyes flashing with a sharp, piercing light.

Therefore, anyone below the Primordial Void who enters this realm will almost certainly die.

Tong Ning nodded. "Yes."

With a wave of her sleeve, the interior of the "Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm" reappeared in the void:

In a realm where countless dimensions intersect, immortal herbs sit like goddesses in the void, strange flames condense into dragons, divine artifacts fill the sky with thunder from the heavens, and even the cultivation techniques themselves manifest their souls. Human figures sit cross-legged within the array of laws—

"Each of them is no longer an 'object,' but a 'spirit of its own.'"

"If you wish to subdue them, you must choose one of three methods: defeat them, kill them, or subdue them."

Her gaze was fixed on Qin Yu:

"Any hesitation will invite the 'source destruction backlash'."

After a moment, her expression unusually turned serious:

"The Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm will be the site of an epoch-making reshuffle."

"It is also the first tribulation on your destiny path..."

The Star River of Destiny continues to rotate. Tong Ning stands before the Mirror of All Things, gently raising her jade finger.

She gazed at the image of the "Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm" replaying in the void, her tone slightly softened, carrying a low murmur that foreshadowed the course of destiny:

"Although the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm is extremely dangerous--"

"But you should know that the real opportunities to shake up the world's logic never lie in safe havens."

Qin Yu listened quietly, his expression silent, yet his sharpness was concealed.

With a flick of his wrist, Tong Ning projected the deepest interior of the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm onto the Destiny Orbit Divine Mirror: myriad realms overlapped, heavens appeared, and star systems formed staircases with flowing Dao patterns. Each level had an ancient god sitting cross-legged, all transformed from naturally formed treasures.

Her voice was low and slow, yet it was as loud as thunder:

"Any item in there... if you can subdue it--"

Even the once mighty True Immortal Great Emperor who dominated countless dimensional eras will have their memories utterly crushed.

She turned to look at Qin Yu, his silhouette reflected in her silver eyes:

"That's a destiny that can rewrite the fate chart and overturn the causal priority of the universe in one fell swoop."

Therefore—it's not just the Primordial Void powerhouses from the Source of Epochless who will go there.

The void trembled violently, and another scene began to emerge on the chart of destiny—

Above the ancient star temple spanning multiple dimensions, the True Immortal Great Emperor held the Nine Luminaries Divine Disc, while the Saintly Dao Ancestor stood atop the Dragon Bone Starship.

"Those ancient races, those ancient Dao Ancestor who once ruled over half the structure of the universe..."

"Everything will come."

Qin Yu raised his head and looked at the Heavenly Emanation illusion that spread across countless realms, and suddenly uttered a word:

"They... are coming to gamble too."

Tong Ning nodded:

"Yes, they know they can't reach the core area."

She raised her hand and drew a "Nine-Layer Treasure Realm Diagram" in the air:

The outer three layers are suitable for cultivators at the Realm Lord Realm and Heavenly Fate Realm to compete for;

The middle three levels require Fate Soul at the Primordial Void Realm and those at the Consciousnessless Level to compete for their lives;

The final three layers represent the pinnacle of transformed rule fragments and Source Dao consciousness, accessible only to the realms of Annihilation Origin and Annihilation Dawn.

She pointed to the deepest crack:

"'Supreme Origin Destruction Thought' truly demonstrates its absolute annihilating power--"

It will only happen in the core third layer.

"That is the starting point of the rift between the Epoch Realm and the entire multiverse's divine soul logic."

She paused, her eyes becoming solemn:

"True Immortal Great Emperor cannot touch the core." "Those who do will surely die."

"But those at or above the Source of Epochless (Primordial Void Realm) are eligible."

Qin Yu said in a deep voice:

"You sent me not just to oppose the plans of the True Word Extremity Hall and the Returning Consciousness Clan."

"Do you want me... to come into contact with the true 'Primordial Creation' deep within the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm? Or...?"

Qin Yu stood silently in the temple, his gaze deep and thoughtful. His Fate Ring was faintly visible, and the starlight rose and fell without a sound.

Tong Ning stood before the light curtain of destiny, suddenly raising her eyes slightly, her tone gradually shifting from cold and piercing to a low, almost reverent tone:

"Do you know... why this 'Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm' is so different?"

"It's not just that the rift has reopened... but because there are rumors that—at the deepest depths... there is a very high probability that 'the Pen of First Cause, Epoch Realm have never written before' will emerge."

A glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.

Tong Ning slowly turned around, her silver hair flowing like a waterfall as she danced with each step. With a wave of her jade hand, the destiny diagram reappeared in the void, repeating itself:

All I saw was --

Throughout the Source of Epochless, countless temples, spirit towers, Ancient Clan celestial domains, and forbidden Divine Rank, beams of light soared into the sky, reaching straight to the Ninefold Void Realm, creating a scene as vast as the roar of all the gods.

Her voice was like thunder, hidden deep within the fog:

"After the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm opens, all beings in Epoch Origin who have reached the Primordial Void Realm or above --"

"Whether it's temples, the God Clan, pure-blooded Ancient Clan, or those Rogue Cultivators who have long resided in extraterrestrial star regions..."

"I'll go."

"This is a battle for the leap of origin that cannot be missed."

In the void, the trajectory of fate twisted like a nebula, reflecting the soul shadows of countless cultivators— Realm Master, Primordial Void, True Immortal, saints, and even those at the Annihilation Origin level were all stirring with anticipation.

Tong Ning's tone grew increasingly somber:

"Especially those ancient monsters that have existed across dimensions for multiple eras... they are not fighting for the Different Fire Artifact."

"They are after that legendary divine script—"

She whispered four words: "The Pen of First Cause."

The chart of destiny trembled, and the four characters seemed to be branded into the depths of the narrative, radiating a divine flame as if the very foundation of destiny were burning.

It's not a pen.

"It is the authority to write about the 'origin structure' of the universe."

"Whoever obtains it may—"

She paused, her gaze turning cold:

"--To rewrite the Epoch Realm the future."

Qin Yu's eyes gleamed with unending light. He understood now: this battle was not just to stop the assassination attempt on him by the True Word Extremity Hall and the Returning Consciousness Clan, nor was it just to subdue the treasure, the strange fire.

It was not a struggle for Fate Authority.

Whoever reaches the summit will be able to write the next chapter of the Epoch Realm.
