The Campaign Against the Annihilation Abyss
At the Source of Epochless, where day and night cease, at the pinnacle of the convergence of the Void Principle, stands an ancient palace of immeasurable grandeur, at the center of the confluence of countless causes and effects.
This is the True Word Extremity Hall.
The entire temple seemed to be woven from Cause Annihilation, with nine hundred and ninety-nine floating steps suspended above the sky, each step inscribed with the true words and runes that recorded the origin. The gray main hall pierced the silent sky, inscribed with ancient incantations that could not be written. Twelve streams of light laws hung between heaven and earth like star chains, slowly rotating in the chaotic and unknown high sky, influencing the flow of destiny of the entire era system.
Inside the main hall, countless wheels of destiny floated in the air, each wheel carrying the shadow of the will of a Ji clan, as if once a decision was made, the fate of all worlds could be rewritten.
In the very center of the hall, a circular stone pedestal, hundreds of feet long, floats suspended. Eight uniquely styled illusory figures stand in sequence, each representing one of the eight most influential forces in the current Source of Epochless.
The Fate Que Hall: A middle-aged man wearing a robe of seven golden bones sat upright inside, with an ancient incantation engraved on his brow. His eyes, like lamps of death, stared coldly ahead.
The Fate Cause Spirit Tower: A female priestess, her body pure white, her figure like a bubble, seemingly existing between reality and illusion, her palms constantly writing words that vanish, each character bringing a wisp of Fate-Cause wind.
The Law God Origin Court: A towering deity in purple-gold shackles stands in the mist, his body inlaid with the laws of divine conferment. Every step he takes drags a heavy, resounding sound of rules, like the echo of the Heavenly Dao.
Epoch Book Sealing Abyss: An old man dressed in a long robe with a cover sat cross-legged on the floating pages. Every word he spoke immediately condensed into a page and flowed into the ten thousand volumes of Soul Book behind him, forming a river of commemoration.
Eternal Consciousness Evolution Clan: A girl whose body is covered with cracks in her mind, with multiple flowers of consciousness emerging behind her, her thoughts intertwining and pulling at the gate of the misty realm of logical change.
The Ink Spirit Annihilation Clan: The figure shrouded in black mist is both real and illusory, and no one can see its true face. Only the dark eyes reflect the sea of memories that once annihilated thousands of worlds.
Dream Lock Palace: A phantom woman with intertwined dream patterns sits on a cloud bridge, holding a key to seal dreams in her hand. Her expression is distant and indifferent, as if she does not belong to this world, or as if she has already locked away the future dream path.
The Returning Stone Clan: An elder with a body full of jagged rock bones sits on a stone chain, his arms intertwined, his skin like eternal stone, carrying a weight that can crush space itself.
High above the main hall, an old man clad in a golden robe of mantras stood with his back to the crowd—the Vice Elder of the True Word Extremity Hall. He stood amidst the flowing starlight, holding a jade scepter engraved with the words "Law Inscription," gazing silently at the sealed projection of the Source of Life in the void.
He slowly turned around, his gaze authoritative yet dignified, sweeping over the entire room like a judgment from the heavens:
"Gentlemen, the Soul Cavern Dense Forest has subsided, but Qin Yu, who was hailed as the 'Master of Fate,' has completely vanished from the entire Source of Epochless."
As the voice faded, the entire main hall fell into a brief silence, as if weighed down by Fate-Cause force.
The vice elder's scepter trembled slightly, and a sealed illusory remnant appeared in the void. It was the Ultimate causal segment intercepted at the end of the [Soul Cavern Dense Forest] anomaly three months ago—the last trace of Qin Yu's "Fate Shadow".
His voice was deep, yet it resonated like a tolling bell in the main hall's dome:
"Since the anomaly in the Soul Cavern Dense Forest, three full months have passed, and in all areas and realms—including the Source of Epochless, the thirty-seven sub-dimensions, and the one hundred and forty-nine Fate Realm nodes—no trace of his aura or soul consciousness has been detected."
His gaze sharpened, sweeping downwards, and his voice abruptly changed:
"Gentlemen—do you have any comments on this?"
The silence lasted only a few breaths before being broken by a chilling sarcasm.
On the lower left, Elder Zhu He, representative of the Fate Que Hall, suddenly stood up. A scarlet life curse slowly emerged from the golden ring between his brows, and he coldly snorted:
"That guy? Hmph... He's just a hapless fool who survived for a few days by relying on the power of the Annihilation Abyss."
He raised his hand and flicked it, and a series of aura tracking diagrams appeared in the void. The entire line was severed, leaving no trace of any consciousness.
"I Fate Que Hall to mobilize the [Fate Wheel Thirteen Measures Array] and the [Silent Consciousness Thousand Mirrors] within three months, tracing along the three paths of destiny, soul traces, and willpower, but to no avail. Unless this person has already ascended to the 'Consciousnessless Realm'... the only conclusion is: this person has been completely Annihilation."
He finished speaking with a cold expression, as if he were reading an irrefutable death announcement.
As soon as he finished speaking, several representatives on the right nodded slightly, followed by a chorus of agreement:
Representative Epoch Book Sealing Abyss raised his eyes and calmly said, "The chaos in the Soul Cavern Dense Forest was already mixed with remnants of ancient soul sacrifices... It's not surprising that some souls have dissipated."
The purple-gold shackled god of the Law God Origin Court resonated heavily. "Since he was involved in the non-lawful soul-constructing war, and formed his own annihilation structure, it is inevitable that he left no trace."
The phantom woman in the Dream Lock Palace chuckled softly, "When a dream ends, how many people vanish without a trace? This person... may not be worth dreaming about again."
The old man of the Returning Stone Clan rocky bones, said in a deep voice as if a rock had crumbled, "If he has already Return to Dust, then go with him."
With the exception of a very few silent bystanders, almost all the people present were inclined to believe that Qin Yu had perished.
At this moment, the illusory curtain of destiny above the main hall slowly closed, as if quietly marking the end of an era for a certain name.
An eerie silence fell over the main hall.
After a long while, the deputy elder of the True Word Extremity Hall slowly raised his head. His face was no longer as cold and stern as usual, but instead contained a deep and unfathomable mockery and cold light.
His voice was no longer low and deep, but pierced straight into the abyss of the soul, like the beating of a life-or-death drum:
"Today's gathering is not for remembrance, nor for making arbitrary judgments about life and death."
"Regardless of whether Qin Yu has been erased at the end of the Soul Cavern; even if he has turned to ashes and his soul's essence has been annihilated..."
He suddenly stood up, raised his hand and shook open the void of the palace, revealing a causal projection marked with the "Annihilation Abyss"!
"Seven days ago, the progenitor of my True Word Extremity Hall broke through the 'Epoch Origin Extremity Sight Layer' and observed an unprecedented Annihilation Abyss Domain—a self-consistent and complete cluster of destiny logic forcibly forged at the edge of the deep space of the Source of Epochless."
This place is named: [Book Realm: Annihilation Abyss Epoch]
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire main hall erupted in cheers!
The scribe of the Epoch Book Sealing Abyss, was visibly shaken. "He dares to create another realm? That's a provocation against the 'Epoch Book Main Ring'!"
The Shackled God of the Law God Origin Court suddenly stood up. "Outside the Source of Epochless? How could he possibly bypass the Source Law structure without our permission?"
The phantom woman in the Dream Lock Palace murmured, "How did he write 'Chronicle'? Where did he get the pen... Could it be..."
The deputy elder's gaze was sharp as a blade as he coldly swept over the representatives, uttering the most shocking sentence, word by word:
"He possesses the [Book of Fate Law]."
A thunderous roar shook the very void!
The projection of the celestial trajectory floating above the palace roof clearly depicted a scene of an expanding interface:
An independent Fate Abyss squeezed out of chaos, filled with fragments of time that have been broken, rewritten, and sealed; its origin flows with more than a dozen rules of the main era, and a remnant of an Azure Ring surrounds the boundary wall.
"The Annihilation Abyss Epoch... is not just one realm."
The deputy elder's voice slowly faded, freezing the thoughts of everyone present like a command:
"That's his own universe, the Source of Epochless he wants to write about as a footnote to 'others.'"
"Gentlemen, he doesn't want to rebel. He wants to 'replace'."
Inside the palace, the elder representative of the Returning Consciousness Clan slowly rose from his seat. He wore a long robe with shimmering patterns, his face was ashen and cold, and his eyes seemed to have long since merged with the abyss of his sea of consciousness, exuding a chilling aura.
His voice was deep and hoarse, yet it seemed to tear through the silent night like frost, echoing among the various clans in the palace:
"Qin Yu... attacked three core disciples of my Returning Consciousness Clan at the Source of Epochless, completely erasing them with the Annihilation Structure Life Technique, preventing them from entering reincarnation and leaving no trace."
"This kind of ruthless method of eradication is not an ordinary grudge—it's a blood debt."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, carrying an undeniable killing intent, as he stared at the center of the hall:
Even if he has truly been erased from that dead land—we, the Returning Consciousness Clan, will never let this score rest.
After saying this, he slightly shifted his gaze and turned to the deputy elder of the True Word Extremity Hall.
Their gazes met in the void, and they remained silent for a moment, as if they had formed a tacit curse, weaving an inescapable causal deadlock.
The deputy elder chuckled softly, raised his hand to press down the ethereal [Fate Deliberation Spirit Disc] before him, and a wisp of gray-blue soul flame ignited in his eyes:
"That's right. Even if Qin Yu has truly perished and been completely erased from the 'Records of History'... so what?"
"What we need to do is not just wait for him to return, but—to annihilate every remaining thought, soul, and clan connected to him."
"Sever the root, burn the seal, break the cause, lock the fate."
He slowly uttered a vow as clear as a celestial inscription, his voice like the tolling of Realm Splitting, causing specks of light and dust to rise from the floating fragments at the edge of the palace:
"I want him to see only ruins destroyed because of him, even if he miraculously returns to this world."
-
The entire venue fell silent once again.
At this moment, Qin Yu's entangled Fate-Cause is no longer a personal grudge, but has become the fuse for a hidden storm that will soon sweep through the Source of Epochless · Upper Layer.
Above the palace, the lingering, hazy light continued to shift, when a dreamlike female voice drifted from the eastern side hall, carrying a mesmerizing yet undeniably chilling aura:
"Gentlemen, please don't forget— Qin Yu is not some rootless person."
The speaker was a representative of the Dream Lock Palace, a woman draped in a silver silk dream robe, with eyes like sleeping mirrors. A "Dream Imprint Lock Ring" mark was etched between her brows. Her voice was ethereal and profound, as if emanating from the depths of a dream.
"He is a 'Temple Guardian' appointed by the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, possessing a Law-level Inherited Seal, and his Soul is connected to the Source of the Annihilation Era... If we truly intend to harm his Annihilation Abyss Epoch, then—"
Her gaze swept lightly over the eight powerful and influential families present:
Will the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall issue an edict to intervene...? Will this be seen as a challenge to the authority of the Primordial Palace of Epoch Origin?
After he finished speaking, the hall fell into an awkward silence.
Among those eight clans, many exchanged glances secretly.
No matter how resentful they may be, they cannot deny the status of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall within the Source of Epochless:
That is the First Divine Hall the Source of Epochless, directly inherited from the "Origin of Discipline". Its temple master is a Supreme being who has stepped into the Silent Mystery Realm and possesses the dual authority of "Sovereignty of Fate" and "Decision of Source Law".
If the True Word Extremity Hall, the Returning Consciousness Clan, and others join forces to launch a full-scale purge of the Annihilation Abyss Epoch, even if it's just a covert operation—if the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall issues a "Source Lord's Decree," the consequences will be unbearable for these secondary palace clans.
Some coughed lightly, some silently turned their eyes away, and a few representatives even began to conceal their breathing with their breath, no longer expressing their opinions.
However--
The deputy elder sneered, slamming his hand on the table and rising abruptly. His voice, carrying the force of gray thunder and annihilation, caused the surrounding Soul Seal to tremble slightly.
"Hmph! So what if it's the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall?!"
"Do you really think our eight clans are destined to kneel and submit for life? To allow that brat to establish a boundary and seal souls in the Source of Epochless, allowing his remaining forces to lurk?"
His pupils reflected the distorted flames of the destiny chart, and his words echoed like a golden bell severing the boundary:
"If we don't act against him today, tomorrow a second and a third 'Qin Yu' will establish their own territories within the Origin Rift. At that time, everything we control will cease to exist!"
He suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a semi-transparent array composed of "Fate Track Severed Chain" and "Source Consciousness Interference Lock" appeared in the void. It was clearly the seventh-order logical encirclement structure diagram of the plan to seal the consciousness and sever the source of the ** Annihilation Abyss Epoch **.
"As for the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall..." His gaze turned icy, "If they really dare to punish us for the sake of a mere palace guard, then let Source of Epochless completely tear open the rift—at that time, we eight clans will see how they manage to hold the line alone!"
--
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became as heavy as a rock.
Many people lowered their heads, their expressions shifting slightly, a mixture of anger and deep-seated fear—but, it seemed, at this moment, some bottom lines were gradually being breached...
Above the main hall, a gray-gold annihilation flame array suddenly appeared in the vice elder's palm, as if the laws of the Epoch Origin were being written on their own at his fingertips. He slowly reached out and took out two items from the void layer.
The first item was a pill that emitted a faint blue light. Its body was translucent like starlight and amber, and within it was sealed a soul from the core of a world that had been annihilated!
Nine layers of Fate Soul chains coiled around it, and the elixir fire rotated on its own, as if nine cosmic furnaces were operating within it, with the elixir's name appearing in each ray of flame:
"Silent Origin Elixir of the Silent Origin - Primordial Era Level"
The second item is an ash-covered scroll sealed within the life-patterned collarbone chain. Its outer shell is constructed of "Recognition Annihilation Bone Crystal," and every inch of the scroll is inscribed with the deepest source texts of the ancient Source of Epochless.
And on the cover, there were only four words:
The Silent Beginning Evolution Transcendence Record.
This cultivation technique, according to legend, was only granted to deputy hall masters above the core direct lineage of the True Word Extremity Hall. The hall master personally inscribed the "Path to Transcendence" using the Soul Writing technique, and it possesses:
The ability to reverse one's original destiny;
Before crossing the logical boundaries of "Silent Profundity";
There was even a sliver of a chance to glimpse the initial stage of the "Severed Intent Realm".
The deputy elder's eyes were resolute, and his voice, like a heavy hammer of destiny, struck into the souls of everyone present.
"This pill can break all the 'final limitations' within your Fate Soul, allowing you to step above the Annihilation Origin and reshape the Great Dao of Silent Origin."
"This method can untie the knot in your clan's cultivation tradition, allowing it to emerge with its own logically sealed boundary, forever severing the control of the Heavenly Dao."
"And all you need to do is grant my allied forces' order to launch a full-scale attack within three days, mobilizing the highest fighting force of your entire clan—"
He abruptly changed the subject, his voice lowering, like a battle bell striking a deep chasm:
"The Annihilation Abyss Epoch"
--
The moment those words were spoken, the hall fell silent.
But that silence lasted only a moment.
The next moment, like the echo of breaking chains, an elderly man with white hair from the Law God Origin Court was the first to stand up, clasp his hands in a fist salute, and bow his head in a deep voice:
"If such a method, such a pill, such a battle exist, I, the Law God Origin Court, swear to go through fire and water for the temple."
Next came the leader of the Ink Spirit Annihilation Clan, clad in a black mist soul robe. His soul and eyes had long since vanished, yet he still stood in the hall, slowly bowing and whispering in a hoarse voice:
"Qin Yu, slay Annihilation Abyss, seal the Book Realm—at the command of the Divine Palace, my Ink Spirit Clan will act accordingly."
In an instant, the representatives of the eight clans in the hall stood up one after another. Their original fear and hesitation had been burned away by greed, hatred, ambition and irresistible temptation.
"I'm willing to go through fire and water for the temple!"
"I swear to sever Qin Yu's Fate Soul in the True Word Extremity Hall, and to wipe out the Annihilation Abyss evil forces of the Abyss!"
"Our race is willing to align with the divine mandate and resolve this chaos forever!"
The sound was like waves, the Fate Soul shook the heavens, and the entire main hall trembled violently, as if the bloody storm of the Source of Epochless had been sown at this moment.
The elder's gaze seemed to pierce through the void, spanning countless ages, and he saw Qin Yu's figure, who had not yet returned. He slowly whispered:
"Your Annihilation Abyss Epoch... will eventually cease to exist."
