Annihilation of Spirit and Extinction of Evolution

The Source of Epochless, Nightmare-Descended Desolate Domain, Ruins of the Dream Lock Palace.

Cracks have long since spread across this ancient palace. The "Dream-Locking Heavenly Mirror," which once hung high in the sky, was shattered in the chaos of battle several days ago, leaving only remnants of light floating in the sky like ice shards.

The entire Dream Lock Palace is now in ruins.

The sky was a deep purple, the sea of clouds looked like it was crying, and the night was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

In the shattered main hall, an old man clad in an ice-purple robe stood atop the ruined steps, holding the Dream Soul Seal Staff, his back to the disciples. His body was covered in cracks, his aura was extremely weak, and his soul power was exhausted, as if he would dissipate at any moment.

The only remaining elder of the Dream Lock Palace —Elder Wang You Mirror.

He gazed at the azure storm tearing through the sky in the distance, watching the space continuously collapse, and a Fate Soul pressure named "Qin Yu" was approaching step by step from the depths of the Heavenly Abyss, as if the very foundation of Source of Epochless was trembling.

He spoke, his voice trembling slightly:

"... The Dream Lock Palace is now a desolate wasteland, withered flowers and fallen petals."

"Even the Soul Name of those immense beings like the Returning Consciousness Clan were directly deleted and erased by Qin Yu."

"We... can't stop them at all."

The hundreds of remaining disciples of the Dream Lock Palace below all looked ashen-faced.

Some of them had already damaged their souls, some even had half of their Fate Soul shattered, only their eyes remained fixed on the master who had once protected them—

--This old man, who did not leave even though he was severely injured and his Fate Soul was collapsing.

"Disciples, run!"

"From the day he returned to the Annihilation Abyss Epoch and annihilated countless enemies, I knew that the Dream Lock Palace was merely a page in his wrathful reckoning."

"If you still have a sliver of hope, leave the Source of Epochless, escape into the Abyss Beyond the Stars, and never look back for the rest of your lives."

Wang You's voice seemed to flow from hell, expressing both pity for her disciple and a calm acceptance of her own fate.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the palace was already in tears.

"Master!"

How could we abandon you!

Even if Dream Lock Palace perishes, it will die on this land of souls!

Wang You seemed not to hear the shouts, but simply raised her head and murmured:

He will come.

"Bearing that divine halo, bearing the Silent Wheel Stele Seal, bearing the causal destiny that will destroy everything we have."

"This is his reckoning as the 'Lord of the Annihilation Abyss' —there is no going back."

Before the words had even finished --

In the void, a point of cyan-blue light suddenly bloomed.

It's not thunder, it's not elemental power--

Rather, it is a "destructive node" recognized by the logic of the world!

That is the arrival of the "Ring Master's Seal"!

The entire main vein of the Dream Lock Palace —at the moment that light appeared—was as if simultaneously deleted from the script of countless worlds, and its Fate Soul began to spontaneously disintegrate!

In the distance, a familiar figure appeared, seemingly walking slowly from the very end of the universe.

His gaze was icy, his azure light like that of a god descending, delivering a merciless judgment.

Qin Yu has arrived.

Beneath the gloomy sky, Qin Yu in the void, azure light slowly flowing from his body, like a divine judgment from beyond the records, cold and murderous.

Elder Mirror Nightmare, Wang You, stood on the shattered altar, dragging his battered body as he slowly knelt down. His right hand gripped the cracked "Dream Soul Seal Staff" tightly, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly:

"Lord Qin Yu, we... were all threatened by the True Word Extremity Hall, and were forced to participate in the campaign to annihilate the Annihilation Abyss Epoch."

"The Dream Lock Palace was nothing more than an insignificant little clan within the Source of Epochless ten thousand years ago. If not for coercion, how dare we offend your Annihilation Abyss Realm?"

"Now we know we have repented, we only beg you to show mercy and spare our Dream Lock Palace... to spare our bloodline."

His voice reverberated through the void, each word like a desperate plea.

He knelt on both knees, his old body bent like a collapsed monument, an elder of the Epoch Origin bowing his head and pleading with this young, Consciousnessless master.

However, in the sky, the young man draped in Azure Ring divine light had a gaze as cold as Ji Yuan, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Qin Yu slowly looked down, his tone like that of a judge:

"Back then, when you joined forces with the True Word Extremity Hall, the [Fate Que Hall], the [Law God Origin Court], and the [Returning Consciousness Clan] to hunt down my Annihilation Abyss Epoch, slaughter my disciples, and seal my Soul Domain—"

"Did you ever imagine that you would be kneeling and begging me today?"

In the void beneath his feet, as his words fell, a blue soul pattern appeared, like a chain of fate 'Fate-Cause retribution, an echo of the logic of the entire world, serene and resolute.

Wang You has not yet responded.

Behind him, a young disciple of the Dream Lock Palace roared out.

He was a young man who had just entered the Final Cycle Realm, yet his body was already stained with blood, and his eyes burned with an indomitable flame until death.

"Elder, there's no need to beg him!"

"This Qin Yu is merely Consciousnessless Middle Stage Realm cultivator. Although he possesses a divine ring, he is not invincible."

Even if our Dream Lock Palace is wiped out, someone must tell this demon— the Source of Epochless is not ruled by him alone!

After he finished speaking, he suddenly roared, raised his hand and summoned an ancient Soul Seal, which directly crashed into Qin Yu in the sky!

But at the very moment the imprint burst forth—

Suddenly, a ten-layered Fate Soul star wheel slowly rotated above Qin Yu's right shoulder, with mysterious ancient gold inscriptions hanging from the wheel, like a pen that Realm Splitting to inscribe the laws of reality.

[Fate Cause Master Seal - Abyss-Turning Star Platform]

The Tenfold Fate-Cause Inscription Plate slowly rotated, and the Soul Consciousness Chains drew out billions of gray-silver lines in the air, accurately locking onto the node where the Dream Lock Palace's soul bloodline was located.

The sky suddenly went black, and all sound seemed to be detached from its dimension at that moment.

The next moment.

Azure Ring Light Erupts!

The logic chain of Fate Soul Construct Techniques explodes!

--"Abyss-Turning Star Platform: Annihilation of Dream Souls!"

A sapphire chain suddenly shot out from Qin Yu's palm, tearing through the entire Dream Lock Palace Heaven Domain like a Soul-Judging Brush, its end piercing straight into the sea of consciousness of the roaring disciple!

"Ah--!!!"

The disciple's screams ripped through the heavens and earth; his body withered, collapsed, and burned into a hollow soul shell in an instant, leaving not even a trace of his death.

His existence logic was "deleted" the moment his skill was triggered!

Immediately afterwards, the Fate-Cause Star begins its cycle.

The second, third, and fourth divine chains appeared in the void like ten thousand strokes of ink falling on paper, directly severing the soul cores of over a hundred disciples of the Dream Lock Palace.

"Don't want--!"

"Please--Aaaaaaaaah--!!!"

"Mother... I don't want to forget my name!!!"

"My... my soul is still... still...! No--"

One by one, the disciples of the Dream Lock Palace burned and vanished silently under the azure light, like fallen leaves.

Some struggled to escape the palace, some offered up their Fate Soul for help, and some simply knelt and wailed.

But no one could withstand the soul-deleting power of the "Fate Cause Master Seal"!

Twenty breaths later.

The entire Dream Lock Palace was deathly silent; all the main soul nodes had been destroyed.

The mountain gate collapsed, the inscriptions shattered, and the splendor of the Heavenly Lock vanished.

Wang You staggered to his feet, his lips trembling slightly, blood slowly flowing from his eyes. He had failed to save any of his disciples.

He gazed at the master of the blue light, his voice trembling like a deathly bell:

"You... you are a demon..."

Qin Yu simply lowered his eyes and replied calmly:

"Do you know that the name 'Dream Lock' is no longer recorded in history?"

Having said that, he waved his hand, and the Azure Ring slowly manifested in his sea of consciousness, erasing the last trace of his dream soul.

The sky returned to silence.

--The Dream Lock Palace, and then it's destroyed.

Above the void, the Dream Lock Palace had long since vanished, leaving only a faint blue light drifting gently among the Emptiness ruins and ashes, as if scattering a final, silent lament for that fragmented land of souls.

Qin Yu high in the sky, the Azure Ring slowly rotating, the Fate Cause Master Seal encircling his right shoulder. The azure and blue radiance surged like a torrent of stars, illuminating the desolate land for thousands of miles. The wind and clouds around him were still, only the might of his Fate Soul, like an invisible celestial monument, suppressed all the lingering thoughts of heaven and earth.

He didn't lower his head, but his gaze swept across the former Dream Lock Palace with a sharp, cold edge, and he uttered a single word:

"Your actions have already been predetermined by cause and effect."

"And you are nothing more than obstacles that must be destroyed on my path of destiny."

His voice echoed like the will of heaven, neither roaring nor showing pity, but simply a predetermined death sentence.

At this moment, the entire world was utterly silent, as if even the passage of time itself seemed to freeze beneath his footsteps.

Just then, Qin Yu slowly raised his eyes. Deep within his gaze, azure and blue hues gradually ignited like heavenly fire. His gaze traversed thousands of dimensions, directly fixed on a deep spatial ravine, and he whispered, each word deliberate and chilling as if it were destiny:

"The Ink Spirit Annihilation Clan..."

The next instant, his consciousness trembled, and countless threads of cause and effect appeared in his sea of consciousness, following a preordained destiny, piercing through the silent sky, and locking onto the next target.

"Your turn."

The Azure Ring suddenly accelerated its rotation, and a point of azure light transformed into Star Abyss Lightning, cleaving through the spatial barrier.

Before the wind rises, the boundary has already been broken.

He took a step forward.

In the deep space of the realm, amidst the azure vortex, the once incomparably prosperous main hall of the Ink Spirit Annihilation Clan is now nothing but broken walls and ruins, its starlight reduced to ashes, and its magic tablets collapsed. The Eternal Consciousness Evolution Clan, born from the same source and belonging to the lower order of the Source of Epochless, has also lost its former glory and holy light. The remaining disciples and elders of both clans gathered after the main hall was destroyed, their souls weary, and their eyes filled with a resolute determination.

Amidst the swirling mist, beneath a half-collapsed Ink Annihilation Divine Platform, Que Yu, a surviving high-ranking elder of the Ink Spirit Annihilation Clan, sighed softly. His face was withered, his body covered in wounds, and his bloodline bore the scorching marks of the "Power of the Silent Ring." He gazed at the heavens, murmuring softly, his voice seemingly emanating from the depths of time:

"Alas... we've fallen to this state... all because we believed the bewitching words of that True Word Extremity Hall."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Lian, an elder of the Eternal Consciousness Evolution Clan sitting to the side, slowly opened his eyes. He had once been the compiler of the Eternal Consciousness Evolution Clan's Logical Soul Master Chain, his logical cultivation reaching the Limit of the Only Book Realm, but now he was nothing more than a broken shadow with a disordered soul and a collapsed sea of consciousness. His low, hoarse laugh was full of desolation:

"Our sense of belonging has vanished, our dreams are shattered. All we can ask for now... is to die with dignity."

A figure appeared deep within his eyes—it was Qin Yu's arrival.

That was an unparalleled Fate-Cause destiny was beyond comprehension, stepping slowly into the pinnacle of the heavens, his steps like a pillar of heaven descending, crushing the last remaining beliefs of the two races.

In the distant sky, a cyan-blue light slowly spread from outside the Annihilation Void Barrier. That light was not light, but a ring of divine light, which enveloped the entire star field in an instant. Countless fine threads of cause and effect fell from the sky, passing through the void and locking onto the Consciousness Soul Core of each survivor.

Qin Yu's figure finally appeared at the edge of the sky.

Without emotion, without words.

He just watched quietly.

That one glance sealed their fate.

The star field was silent, as if even the void itself had held its breath.

Qin Yu atop the void, Azure Ring slowly unfolding behind him. Countless threads of blue light rose from the Star Abyss, constructing a Silent Realm map covering the entire Epoch Origin Dimension. It was the primordial order before the beginning, the prototype before the Fate Soul Unborn and consciousness arose. Now, it was awakened once more, solely to end all betrayal.

The remaining thousands of disciples and dozens of broken elders of the Ink Spirit Annihilation Clan and the Eternal Consciousness Evolution Clan stood solemnly. There were no wails, no struggles, only silent acceptance of their fate.

Among them, the last remaining elder with reason, Que Yu, slowly raised his head and looked into Qin Yu's eyes. Those eyes, as deep as Silent Abyss, reflected the omen that the entire clan would be destroyed.

He sighed softly, his voice low and firm:

"Qin Yu... we already knew this day would come... come on, give us a quick death."

This sentence was like tolling the final bell of destiny for the entire clan.

Qin Yu did not respond. He simply raised his right hand.

With a flick of the wrist, a faint light appeared at the fingertip, initially a single point of blue glow, then a myriad of rays converged, and the entire space suddenly froze.

Time was suppressed, laws were sealed, Causal Severance, and only his will remained in the world.

His voice was deep, cold, and carried an unquestionable air of judgment.

"The Silent Realm Returns to the Beginning; Fate's Existence Completely Covers All."

In an instant, the Azure Ring erupted with an extremely powerful Silent Abyss force, tearing five ring-shaped cracks in the sky, as if five heavenly fingers were piercing through space and time.

The first move – Draw the Silent Edge to Break the Realm – shatters the spatial structure of both races, completely obliterating all hiding places of soul consciousness;

The second move – Sever the Fate Trajectory – directly targets the source of consciousness and soul, cutting all life logic in two.

The third technique – Shatter Soul Consciousness: The sea of consciousness collapses, and the logic of memory and thought is annihilated together;

The fourth move – the Sever the Art's Beginning – forcibly reverses the burning of all the techniques and martial spirit origins they had learned, rendering them as if they had never learned them at all;

The fifth technique— Corrupt Heaven's Cause —completely severs their connection to the cause and effect of heaven and earth, leaving no evidence of their existence in the universe.

The light faded, and the world fell silent.

The Ink Spirit Annihilation Clan, the Eternal Consciousness Evolution Clan, and everyone else vanished without a trace.

Without a single scream, without a ripple, they didn't even have the definition of "being killed" before being completely erased by logic outside of "life". Their destiny, Dao roots, sea of consciousness, and records of existence collapsed completely and were erased into the Silent Realm Opening Chapter, a place no one could return to, a starting point that even divine sense could not trace.

There are no tombstones, no ashes.

Only the void illuminated by the light remained, still trembling slightly, as if the world itself was terrified of that moment's "deletion power.

Qin Yu slowly withdrew his right hand, his eyes still cold and indifferent, neither sad nor happy, like a god writing a divine decree, showing no mercy and leaving no name.

He looked at the now-flattened boundary in front of him and said softly:

"Your karma is now complete."

The starry sea is silent; all Return to the Abyss.
