The will of the Lord of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch had not yet been extinguished, and the Azure Ring light still echoed in the void. Just as Qin Yu had completely subdued the inner divine core and the array shapeshifter, a familiar yet mysterious fluctuation quietly rose from the depths of the void.
Ahead—on the edge of the once silent Annihilation Radiance Fire Domain, a piece of spacetime was slowly torn apart, like fragments of memory collapsing and overlapping. A strange creature pieced together from a "broken logical structure" slowly stepped out.
That was the same eerie figure they had secretly observed when they first entered the inner layer of the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm.
It resembled a shattered boundary marker, its entire body entwined with gray-white remnants of cause and effect, fragments of time, and dead ends of logic. It had no facial features, nor even any soul fluctuations, but at this moment it suddenly knelt slowly before Qin Yu, its entire body beginning to emit sharp tremors like "annihilated words".
This scene left both Qin Yu Yan Yue in shock.
At that very moment, deep within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, the Azure Ring suddenly hummed softly, and a clear yet ancient azure spiritual sound resounded within his consciousness:
"It... is begging you... to save its parents..."
Qin Yu frowned slightly and slowly said, "Yue'er, Azure Ring told me that it wants to ask us to save its parents."
Yan Yue frowned and pondered, "Their parents? But we can't even fully identify their true form, so how can we communicate with them?"
Azure Ring murmured softly, and a blue ripple appeared from her sea of consciousness, transforming into a feather of light that gently touched the shattered spirit body of logic.
In an instant, the shattered spirit body was radiating a blue light, as if the out-of-control narrative was being straightened out again. Its body began to tremble violently, and then it slowly stood up, turned around and stepped towards the distant abyss Realm Splitting. With each step its broken body took, large swaths of causal mist flames dissipated from its body.
It didn't look back; it simply used its own trajectory to tell Qin Yu and Yan Yue:
"Please keep up with me."
Qin Yu slowly raised his eyes, gazing at the shattered spirit shadow that was gradually receding into the distance.
Azure Ring's voice rang out again:
"Qin Yu, just follow it. It... trusts you."
Yan Yue nodded gently. "Let's go."
At this moment, the two slowly stepped into the unknown "Shattered Spirit Sorrow Origin".
--And that unknown end is the "Logic Primordial Severed Realm" that even Azure Ring has not fully deciphered.
The shattered spirit ahead continued to stagger, but as it stepped into the final passage, an indescribable "pressure of existence" suddenly descended upon it.
That was the original logical domain of the entire Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm, known as the "Annihilation Origin Logic Realm Heart Domain".
The sky no longer displays stars and stardust, but is as black as ink, yet from its depths emerge billions of blood-red rays of light—these are the reflections of the "laws of logic" between collapse and reconstruction, each one seemingly a fragment of a cosmic rule.
Qin Yu swept his divine sense across the area and immediately felt as if his sea of consciousness had been subjected to a thousand hammer blows, an overwhelming chaotic pressure that seemed capable of negating the very essence of cultivation washing over him. His expression changed slightly. "Not good... This is a state of Logic Origin out of control... We've entered the 'Undetermined Realm'!"
For the first time, Yan Yue eyes, as white as frost, reflected the black and gold light cluster of the "Logic Annihilation Core" in front of her, a dead point like a fallen star, desolate and oppressive.
"This place... even the Annihilation Dawn Silent Wheel within me is beginning to experience backpressure... Yu, this place is no ordinary core location; it has already—transcended the logical limits of the Source of Epochless."
The next breath.
Qin Yu didn't move, but his aura was already as imposing as the sky, and he slowly said, "Yue'er, be ready to fight at any time."
"Um."
Before she finished speaking, Yan Yue fluttered as she took a step forward. The [Radiant Starfrost Robe] she wore, which had been tattered but was now as bright as new, suddenly shone brightly, like shattered frost from the Milky Way falling down.
Behind it, the Annihilation Dawn Silent Wheel was activated once more, the star orbits were sealed, and the patterns of destiny locks swirled in the void.
At the same time, Qin Yu slightly raised his right hand, and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword appeared in the air, with a ten-layered broken ring wrapped around the sword's spine, annihilating black light and severing space and time.
Behind him, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram slowly unfolded deep within his sea of consciousness. The Azure Ring trembled slightly, and strands of azure-gold "Primordial World Construction Diagrams" circled his body like pages of a book, imprinting countless lost destinies and the logic of world separation.
Now.
The two of them were like two Extreme Realm masters descending upon the chaotic universe, their aura solidified before all logic.
But what was even more suffocating was that the forbidden area ahead, which should never have been spied upon, was actually... beginning to tremble slightly.
As the Shattered Spirit approached the abyss-like annihilation core black realm, it emitted an extremely strange, low-frequency murmur, as if pleading with some enormous being.
The next moment, a blurry figure slowly emerged from the core of the "Black Gold Vortex".
It has no physical form, no light or shadow, only annihilation ripples spreading out from around it like shattered star rings.
Qin Yu's eyes darkened, Yan Yue's fingers twitched slightly; both of them had locked onto hostility.
Yan Yue asked in a low voice, "Is it... one of the parents of the Shattered Spirit?"
Azure Ring's voice appeared in Qin Yu's mind. "No, it's a fragmented projection of your parents... They may have already been torn apart into logical structures, leaving only the soul of obsession."
"A soul bound by obsession?" A flash of blue light appeared in Qin Yu's eyes. "That means—it's not a living being, but it still possesses aggression?"
"Yes."
The moment Azure Ring's response landed, the void collapsed with a "hum".
An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire space. Qin Yu and Yan Yue stood at the mouth of the Black Abyss, their swords flashing and their Star Frost Heavenly Robes shining together.
The sky suddenly darkened, the void collapsed, and a Black Abyss vortex from the depths of the era tore open beneath Qin Yu and Yan Yue's feet. Protected by the Azure Ring, their figures were forcibly pulled into the depths of the dimension, where everything spun into points of light, annihilated, and then reconstructed!
When they regained their footing, the whole world was different.
It was a mysterious realm that transcended the logic of the universe.
Ahead lies a colossal spatial region composed of crystal-blue divine rocks, embedded in the ancient starry sky. Ancient starlight inscriptions flow across its surface, as if recording an unfinished "God Clan Codex." It descends from the clouds ten thousand meters high to the abyss of the dark sea, with annihilating starlight flashing between the cracks, as if billions of battle spirits roar endlessly within it.
All around, "Star Realm Floating Rocks" floated, each layer radiating azure soul light. Crystals grew like a tide, and fireflies-like spirit butterflies flitted and danced among the crystals, creating a dreamlike scene. Meanwhile, "Spirit Crystal Streams" surged and rose from the rock layers, resembling an inverted galaxy hanging vertically, piercing through the Heavenly Abyss!
Above the sky, a golden-blue double-ringed planet slowly rotates, with gravity, light, and sound all descending from it, as if a god is gazing upon the mortal world. Floating islands are stacked down, each with a crystal platform suspended above it, upon which high-level logical laws seem to intertwine and flash, as if fragments of fate are sealed within.
Above ground lies the shimmering Blue-Gold Divine Lake, with rainbow bridges spanning the Shi Lin, seemingly leading to the gate of cause and effect.
This is the true core realm of the Heavenly Emanation Treasure Realm.
Yan Yue a deep breath and slowly said, "Yu... this place doesn't seem to be prepared for cultivators; it's more like a 'nest' for some kind of being."
Qin Yu looked around, gently gripped the Book of Fate Law, and said in a deep voice, "This is the end of the cycle, and also the beginning of the origin..."
The Azure Ring shone quietly, and the being of the logic fragment stood a hundred feet in front of it, its eyes reflecting deep sorrow and guidance.
Their fate is irreversible.
The creature of logic fragments slowly walked into the crystal-clear, shimmering Lake of Life Source. With each step it took, a dark blue light array rippled beneath the ground, as if unlocking some kind of "lost seal of life."
Just as Qin Yu and Yan Yue were on high alert—
Boom!!
In the sky, two enormous crystalline pillars of light suddenly pierced through heaven and earth, falling from the void nebula and crashing into the sea of spirit crystals ahead, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the Fate Realm to resound.
Then, a floating altar rose from the center of the lake, and two figures slowly materialized on the altar.
Those were two ancient beings who transcended the constraints of logic—their forms were neither human nor beast, their bodies were in the form of shattered star core crystals, and their surfaces were covered with chains of runes indicating a loss of Fate-Cause. Their breaths caused fluctuations in the entire spatial dimension, and even Qin Yu faintly felt a "shattering of the Consciousness Realm."
The female being resembled the mother, wearing a crystal dress that resembled a galaxy of interwoven feathers, but her eyes had lost their brilliance, with only fragments of logical flow lines flashing in a loop; the man, on the other hand, was half-shattered, his sea of consciousness like a burning Realm Splitting crystal wheel, his right hand long since severed, and his body was covered with annihilation marks caused by the collapse of time.
And they... are the parents of those beings born from fragments of logic.
Azure Ring transmitted words into Qin Yu's mind through divine sense:
"They... are the { Star Law Construct Mother } and { Order-Extinguishing Logic Father } from before the Primordial Era, who provided the core power for the logical construction of the early era. They were thrown into the Annihilation Layer due to a 'Cause Annihilation the Book World'. Now... their remnants await redemption here."
Yan Yue in shock. "They are actually beings at the Origin Logic level..."
At this moment, the creature of logic fragments collapsed before its two half-crippled parents, emitting a series of intermittent light pulses, while the "Life Source Crystal Bell" in the center of the altar suddenly lit up with intertwined gold and blue light, connecting the three into a line.
The Azure Ring shone brightly, announcing:
"Qin Yu, they bound the last thread of logic, the 'clan chain,' to their offspring, using all their remaining soul fragments to guide you and me into this place... They want to ask you: to completely [liberate] them—either redeem and elevate them, or... to utterly sever them from the logic of the universe through the 'destiny-based extinction,' so they will no longer suffer."
Qin Yu's gaze sharpened, and the phantoms of the [Fate Cause Master Seal] and the [Book of Fate Law] appeared in his divine soul. He said in a deep voice:
"Yue'er... let's decide their fate."
Yan Yue gently stroked Qin Yu's shoulder, a resolute glint in her eyes. "Let's give them a true home."
Heaven and earth were silent and still, the realm of destiny remained stagnant.
The Azure Ring slowly rose above Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, releasing a ray of azure divine light, the light condensing into...
[Fate Cause Master Seal - Hidden Style, Life Breath Wheel Penetration], fused with the [Endless Dawn Radiance] star track guided by the Sea of Yan Yue's consciousness, locks the remnant souls of the entire logic fragment race into a "Destiny Track Field".
At that moment, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly, and the entire world seemed to be sealed within a court of destiny judgment composed of nebulous streams of light.
Within this Court of Fate, a "Fate Cause Severance Altar" constructed of lapis lazuli rings appears, inscribed with hundreds of shattered destiny sequences—traces of soul thoughts left behind by all the logical remnants abandoned by the universe.
Qin Yu stepped forward slowly, holding the [Book of Fate Law - Realm Severing Origin Brush], his voice low yet unwavering:
"I offer my Fate-Cause a guide to Sever the Fate Trajectory should exist in this world."
Yan Yue stood beside him, clad in Radiant Starfrost Robe, slowly opened her phoenix eyes, activated [Annihilation Abyss Dawn Canon · Chapter Four · Law Alters the Eternal Epoch], and said:
"If guilty, their names shall be erased; if innocent, they shall be elevated. By the sovereignty of the Annihilation Abyss, I grant them the authority to continue their lives."
At this moment, the three Spiritual Sense were connected.
The logical fragment sub-body slowly stood up, raised its hands high, and fused its own soul consciousness into the remnant core of its parents' sea of consciousness, forming an ascending candle wheel composed of pure "logical fragments", which slowly rose to the "Fate Cause Severance Altar".
"Let's begin."
Qin Yu uttered the command in a low voice.
The Azure Ring's divine light suddenly surged, and three [Fate-Cause Chains] were released from its center, transforming into three azure life bars that pierced through the altar:
The first principle permeates the sea of consciousness that Star Law Construct Mother, severing the cause of its logical pathology;
The second line, which runs through the Order-Extinguishing Logic Father, washes away the remnants of the annihilation curse;
The third principle runs through the entire lineage, awakening its potential for ascension.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Yue's phoenix eyes Yan Yue, releasing the Ultimate core power [Dawn Breath Annihilates Heaven], like billions of rays of dawn fire shining into the life chain, causing the originally dim soul of the clan chain to transform into an ascending life light of mixed blue and gold.
Boom!!
The center of the altar suddenly collapsed, and all the life-marking chains detached instantly. [Liberation Ritual - Completed]
At that moment, Yan Yue's palm fell, and the "Radiance of Destiny" slowly emanated from her palm. With the blessing of the Azure Ring, the Destiny Seal slowly flowed into the two huge, broken figures imprisoned in the shattered crystals of the logic of Fate Soul.
They were the parents of those beings born from fragments of logic, the "original logical souls" when the components of the rules collapsed. Now, their forms are half-broken, their souls scattered, and only their torn origins remain, whispering and groaning in the chaos.
As the light of annihilation gradually brightened, it slowly washed away the chains of logic binding them like a river. The "shackles of logic" constructed from destiny, time, and cause and effect began to crumble, turning into fragments of gold dust in the blue light and dissipating into the sky.
Just then, the creature of logic fragments slowly walked forward, its hands trembling as it stretched out. When it was still a foot away from the two remnant souls, it suddenly stopped.
Yan Yue asked softly, "Why don't you walk over?"
The Azure Ring trembled slightly, casting down a Daoist voice. "It is afraid... afraid that they no longer recognize it."
The next moment--
The two remnant souls suddenly trembled! As if awakened by some familiar soul wave, they abruptly raised their heads, and countless fragments of memories flashed through their empty sea of consciousness, all converging on that faint but real aura of "it".
"... you..."
An unbelievable whisper emanated from the remnant soul; it was the instinctive incantation uttered by the shattered soul after its life force was completely destroyed!
The creature, its logic fragments shattered, froze, and then--
It finally stopped hesitating and took a step forward.
Bathed in the Azure Ring light, it lunged at the two lingering soul fragments. Those two fragments, on the verge of dissipation, suddenly embraced—at that moment, the void froze, the rules closed, and the world fell silent; only three soul shadows—merging, converging, and confirming each other—remained.
In an instant, at the center of the collision of the three Soul Rend Spiritual Sense, a "pure blue life spirit flower" bloomed. It was the logical original soul flower born from the consensus of the three souls. Only the deepest bonds and memories that cannot be taken away by the rules can bloom outside the era.
The Azure Ring light faded away quietly, leaving only the deepest recesses of the Fate Soul to silently etch this tender moment of reunion.
