The night sky is dead.
Qin Yu stood heavily injured, the Book of Fate Law behind him was tattered, the scorched cracks on the edges of the pages spreading to his soul; the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword hung low, its annihilation patterns dimmed and its spiritual light withered; and he himself, hundreds of life lines around his body were broken and suspended, his heart meridian was damaged, his sea of consciousness collapsed, and his Fate Soul was torn to its Limit.
But he remained standing.
The Mingsu hangs high in the sky, like a divine arbiter.
The Death Book tumbled behind him like a curtain rolling up the sky, and the text rewritten by the logic of billions of dead consciousnesses converged into one stroke, about to be the final chapter of "never existed" for Qin Yu.
"The son of the Fate Book."
You were not recorded in history.
You will eventually turn into a wisp of dust beneath the pages of death.
The sound of the Mingsu, like the echoing tolling of a death knell, is known as the sound of the burial mound.
"[Deathly Knowledge Pen - Opening the Book Extinction]!"
In an instant, billions of black and purple death runes surged out from the void, transforming into a torrent of ten thousand pages of text that completely engulfed Qin Yu!
Each link in the text is a collection of frequencies from the realm of death, and each word carries the weight of killing countless souls. This is the deepest level of skill in the [World-Constructing Death Book]—forcibly defining the opponent as a "false proposition" and completely erasing them from the pages of the Book of Records!
"Mo Chen!!!"
Yao Zhiyan cried out, fiercely ramming against the azure barrier, but could only watch helplessly as Qin Yu was swallowed up by endless death consciousness characters, his entire being being rewritten as—"the uncreated one."
--And at that moment.
Boom!!!
Deep within his consciousness, a transparent crystal suddenly appeared!
That is...
The Source-Cause Construct Heart.
Within the crystal core, the silvery-white causal threads suddenly surged, swirling wildly like a reversed galaxy, instantly covering Qin Yu's entire body! A burst of light erupted, like a blazing sun, and a net of silver radiance froze the entire Sea of Death Consciousness in an instant!
The next instant--
Karma Reversal mechanism activated.
--This is: Absolute Causality Reversal - Passive Protection Trigger.
Condition: When a Soul Contractor suffers an all-dimensional annihilation-level attack or is locked by malevolent intent, they can initiate the highest-level rebound operation by automatically activating their Mind Construct when on the verge of death.
Level: Surpasses the Fate Soul Level; only compatible with the original owner of "The Annihilation Abyss Writer".
Effect: Any physical, energy, mental, soul, time, space, causal, conceptual, or mental attack is completely reversed at the logical level into a "source return," and the attack is applied to the attacker unchanged, including intent, structure, logic, process, and result.
The Annihilation Abyss destiny surges within the abyss!
The crystal core within Qin Yu's chest fully bloomed!
A web of silvery-white cause and effect emerged from the void, capturing, dismantling, numbering, and rewriting every word, every incantation, and every chain of divination text released by the Mingsu, and then...
Reverse.
"You--"
Mingsu's eyes trembled violently as he finally realized the true nature of the crystal core!
You shouldn't... have it!
"You haven't even entered the Supreme Nonexistence Realm, how can you—"
"--Rebel against me!?"
But it was too late.
Above Qin Yu, the web of cause and effect flows in Reverse Order, and the chain of billions of dead consciousnesses transforms into "frequency echoes" that surge upwards.
At this moment, the "Death Book" of the Mingsu oscillates on its own for the first time, and its own frequency-constructing logic is embedded in reverse one by one, causing structural disorder!
Then--
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!
The six wings of the Burial Master, the Mingsu, shattered piece by piece!
The pages of the Death Book on the back burned outwards into a white flame!
The entire colossal skeleton, composed of remnants of life trajectories, began to disintegrate from the logic of existence, with each inch of its bones inscribed with:
[The decision to impose is the decision to be imposed]
[Those who die for their books will surely repay them with their own deaths]
He roared to the heavens, his bone throat shattering space:
"I am the Death Page of Annihilation Abyss!! I am the Judge of the Remnant Consciousness of the Constructed World!!"
How could you treat me like this... this incomplete being?!
But he could no longer change his fate.
Qin Yu, though not yet at the Great Void, was no longer a "living being" at this moment.
He was the author of Fate Book was sealed with his death.
Mingsu knelt on both knees, his body twisted into a tangled and shattering ball of death energy, and finally—
Beneath that star-like silvery-white radiance, it collapsed with a deafening roar, turning into ashes of death and being completely erased from the world.
No explosion, no aftershock.
They were simply forgotten by the world in silence.
-
Qin Yu slowly knelt down, blood sliding down his lips again.
He was still holding that sword.
The Book of Fate Law still has one last page unread.
Behind him, the Source-Cause Construct Heart slowly dimmed, and the silvery-white causal threads gradually converged back into the crystal core. The final ring of light sealed into his sea of consciousness, falling silent.
He did not die.
But he was on the verge of his life collapsing.
He had only one breath left.
The Ultimate enemy, the Burial Master, the Mingsu, has been completely Annihilation.
Soul Cavern Dense Forest - Annihilation Structure of the Dead Consciousness - Thoroughly Eliminated
Source-Cause Construct Heart: Due to the near collapse of the Fate Soul of the one who has formed a bond with the soul, the soul spontaneously releases itself, currently returning to dormancy. Reactivation requires the Supreme Nonexistence Realm and Supreme.
The Book of Fate Law: Reserving the final page - To be finalized.
Yao Zhiyan finally broke through the blue light, knelt down beside Qin Yu, and burst into tears.
"Mo Chen!"
"You can't fall! You haven't..."
But her words were interrupted by his weak yet firm voice:
Don't cry.
I... I still remember you.
"I'm still here."
He looked up at the sky— the Soul Cavern Dense Forest had finally regained its light, all the causes and effects of death had completely dissipated, and the wind blowing down from the sky no longer brought mournful cries, but rather... a renewed clarity.
The Soul Cavern Dense Forest is now silent.
Heaven and earth were silent, all things were still. The scorched earth, fragments, and remnants of death after the war faded with time, and the world returned to light.
Qin Yu leaned against the ancient Star Stone Platform, his breath extremely weak. Yao Zhiyan gently supported him on her shoulder, her eyes filled with both the disorientation of surviving a calamity and a sorrowful gaze upon this desolate place.
She wanted to say something, but found that any words seemed too weak at this moment.
But in this tranquil afterglow—
A sudden change occurred.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground trembled slightly, and the air began to distort unnaturally!
Immediately afterwards--
Centered on the two people's feet, a strange array of silver and black runes suddenly appeared. The runes rotated continuously, as if they were not bound by the logic of the mortal world, and their forms drifted between self-disintegration and recombination!
That was neither a spatial array nor a teleportation technique.
It is a guiding structure that is not named by the world.
Yao Zhiyan was suddenly startled and, just as she was about to protect Qin Yu, she felt her entire body being locked in place by an invisible force—
"Senior brother--!!"
Before they could even make any defensive move, a dazzling silver flame burst forth from beneath their feet, transforming into a causal vortex array that instantly dragged the two of them into the void!
Space collapses, reality is deconstructed!
Between the shattering of the azure light and the shifting of fate—
The two disappeared.
Only the silent Soul Cavern Dense Forest remains, along with the final page of the unwritten law of destiny, vanishing with the wind...
Time slowly passed...
Spatial reconstruction.
After an unknown amount of time, the world was reshaped, and light and shadow reunited.
When Qin Yu slightly opened his eyes, what he saw before him was no longer any Knowing Realm of the Source of Epochless.
That is...
- An indescribable, Starlight Illusory Realm.
They were currently in a vast dream forest built around a sea of stars. The branches of each ancient tree were like threads of the Milky Way, winding upwards from the ground and connecting to the layers of nebula and crystal dome in the sky.
The mountains are no longer rock and soil, but are formed by billions of star particles, fused into every curve of the mountain body, as if the entire mountain range itself is formed from the echoes of the universe.
The sky was not blue, but deep as an eternal night, yet it shone with billions of dazzling stars, as if the entire starry sky had been spread across the dome, and in the flow of light, one could almost hear the whispers of the ancient universe.
Beneath my feet lies a vibrant sea of Illusory Spirits flowers, their petals crystal clear and radiating starlight. Each flower sways in the wind, creating ripples of subtle gravity, as if resonating with a song from another era.
The water flows through the forest, and countless shimmering, iridescent water droplets float on the stream, reflecting colors such as amber, Zixia, and blue. Each drop of water reflects the sky of another world.
This is a space that cannot be categorized into any dimension or any era.
It's like a "transition zone between dreams and reality".
Or perhaps--
Above the Stars: Before the Narrative.
Qin Yu was slightly taken aback. Before he could speak, Yao Zhiyan beside him exclaimed in surprise:
"Senior brother... where... are we?"
"It seems... even the flow of destiny has ceased here..."
She probed with her divine sense, only to find that her own Fate Soul could not operate any set logic; all cultivation techniques, combat skills, and life trajectory were completely ineffective.
Qin Yu gazed into the distance.
He saw that at the end of the star-studded landscape, a huge tiered heavenly palace was slowly emerging from the mountain peak.
From the summit of that heavenly palace came an extremely ancient summons.
--Non-sound.
Instead:
The invitation extended to him by "Above the Writers".
Here--
Perhaps, this is the next page guided by the final chapter of the law of destiny.
The Starlight Illusory Realm is still slowly operating.
Here, there is no alternation of day and night, only the eternal flow of starlight; there is no wind yet there is rhythm, no rain yet there is water; all things are like dreams and illusions, yet they truly exist in a kind of "blank chapter in the book of history that has not yet been unfolded".
Amidst the sea of flowers and nestled among the star-like trees, a streak of blue light suddenly descended from the sky—
That's Azure Ring.
As always, that ray of light, like the primordial law, arose from nothingness, and wherever it passed through the void, it was gently reconstructed and repaired by the laws of destiny.
It first hovered silently above Qin Yu's head.
It then slowly rotated once, and a blue halo fell like ripples.
Buzz--
In an instant, all the broken life trajectories within Qin Yu's body were gradually repaired under the cleansing light of the azure light. His damaged consciousness was reassembled, and the lost Yuan energy, the scattered logical imprints, and even the page on the Book of Fate Law that had been burned were quietly restored.
The green awns fall like spring rain, carrying a gentle, healing quality that is "non-combat" yet more fundamental.
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes.
He felt as if he had been pulled back from the brink of death to the main trunk of his destiny, his mind clear and his consciousness calm. Even the foundation of his Fate Soul, which had been torn apart by the consciousness of death, had been "repaired beyond its Limit".
"... Azure Ring."
He looked up at the sky, his voice low but carrying a barely perceptible hint of gratitude.
Azure Ring remained silent.
With a slight turn, starlight shone all around, and arrays of light composed of azure and gold rings slowly unfolded in the void, as if confirming the level of existence of this realm.
Then, it slowly descended into Qin Yu's sea of consciousness between his brows.
--After a long period of silence.
Finally, the voice of the Azure Ring resounded in Qin Yu's sea of consciousness:
"... You are currently in [Unknown Epoch Space - Starlight Illusory Realm - Star Abyss Forecourt]."
"This place—also belongs to the Source of Epochless, yet it is not within the Source of Epochless."
"This is a hidden structure that has never been opened and has never existed, concealed within the gaps of all chronological logic."
"Just now, after you Annihilation the Burial of the Mingsu, the life frequency pulsation left behind by Him triggered the seal on this place, causing its 'illogical existence' to be briefly activated."
"In a sense... you've been thrown into a 'preview of a space where the narrative hasn't been built yet'."
"Since we're here, let's get started."
"Now, you and the girl beside you can explore at your own pace."
Azure Ring's voice was as lazy and casual as ever, but there was not a trace of frivolity in her words. Every sentence revealed an incomprehensible high-level intellect and the calmness of an observer.
Qin Yu paused for a moment, then looked at the girl standing beside him.
Yao Zhiyan looked at him, her expression Wenwan, but her eyes still held doubt. "Senior brother... where are we right now?"
Qin Yu sighed softly and shook his head slightly:
"I don't know either."
He paused, then gently patted the Book of Fate Law at his waist, his voice calm:
"But since we've been teleported here, it's alright."
"Let's go, explore slowly—we'll find our way back eventually."
Yao Zhiyan looked into his eyes and suddenly smiled. Though the smile was faint, it was as firm as the first rays of dawn rising in the Milky Way.
"Um."
"Senior Brother Mo, I'll follow you."
Her voice was soft yet clear, as if responding to the next chapter unfolding in the course of fate.
--
The path to starlight emerges beneath our feet.
The two walked side by side into the forest path paved with starlight, where countless sparks of starlight fell from the branches and then quietly rose again.
The night is not yet over, and the dream is just beginning.
Beyond the narrative, a truly unwritten destiny is quietly unfolding...
