Merit Belongs to Eternal Evolution · All Creation Pays Homage to Its Master

The sky above the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror still shone with the clear light after being shaken by the power of Stainless, but at this moment it was as silent as if time had stopped. In the sky, the majestic being of the Stainless Realm -Supreme - Hao Yuanzun slowly looked down, with billions of nebulae rotating around him. The eternal light of silence refracted billions of Karma Ripple, each ray of light as if shining into the marrow of time and space.

His gaze fell upon Qin Yu, his calm demeanor carrying an irresistible divine power, yet also revealing a serene composure that encompassed the entire universe.

"Young friend Qin Yu."

The voice, like the whisper of the stars, like the beginning of an era, like the sole call in the stillness of all things, slowly resounded on the battle mirror.

"I've kept you here alone to ask you a question—are you willing to become an inner disciple of my [Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall]?"

"I will not force you, but simply tell you the truth: entering the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall not only signifies entering the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer, but also grants you the right to analyze and use all the logical roots and resources of the middle layer. Whether it is 'Secret Realm,' 'Cause and Effect,' 'Construction Technique Principles,' 'Molecular Universe Arrangement,' or 'Immortal System,' 'Original Destiny,' 'Ultimate Cause of Rules,' and 'Spine of Spacetime'... all can be comprehended by you."

"More importantly, if you wish, my temple will generously reward your Observer Race, granting the entire group access to my temple's resources for up to three centuries, and cross-realm benefits."

As Hao Yuanzun finished speaking, the void remained Ji Ran, but deep within Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, an Azure Ring and cool voice suddenly resounded, carrying a faint vibration:

"Say yes."

"Entering the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer is not just about resources... It's a crucial resource pathway for my Azure Ring to break through the 'Blue Ring' blockade, and it's also key to accelerating my awakening of the Blue Ring and officially starting the next stage. The structure of the world, starting from the middle level, truly possesses the 'right to rewrite its origin.' If you miss this opportunity, you'll likely never have another chance. Moreover, for the sake of Yunyi and Extinguished Light, it might be possible to find powerful origin destiny institutions in the middle level to awaken them ahead of time."

Qin Yu remained silent for a moment, his gaze gradually focusing on the core of the realm. He took a step forward, his posture upright, and clasped his hands in a respectful bow to the Lord of the Silent Void.

"Junior Qin Yu is willing to enter the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall. I will not dare to slack off under your trust."

Upon hearing this, Hao Yuanzun laughed three times, his laughter fading as an invisible chain of light slid from his fingertips and slowly appeared before Qin Yu. It was a golden core, entirely forged from causal crystal veins and shaped like a spiral universe, seemingly embedded with billions of cosmic lines—a "Hengji Inner Sect Disciple Logic Crystal Core."

"Excellent! I am very pleased."

"This item is called the 'Eternal Pole Crystal Core.' You only need to inscribe your 'name logic' with your divine sense to truly make it yours. It is not just a proof of identity, but also a direct link to all the spatial and temporal logics of the middle level."

"Without it, no existence—not even the Supreme Being of the Silent Profundity Realm—can cross the 'Layered Boundary' of the Source of Epochless. Only if you can reach the Chaos Realm · Supreme will you be qualified to obtain the Source of Epochless Origin Crystal Core Source of Nothingness. At that time, you will be able to freely travel to any area of Source of Epochless."

"All the aura on your body has been imprinted on me. If you wish to comprehend the secrets of my palace in the future, the crystal core will unlock it for you. You may come to report at any time and enter the Gate of Eternity. Alright, I must continue watching the martial arts competition among the core disciples from other areas."

As soon as Hao Yuanzun finished speaking, he turned his palm, and billions of starlight followed his palm strike, his figure transforming into a stream of radiant light that slowly dissipated into the deepest layer of spacetime within the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror.

The light of the heavens receded, and all things returned to silence.

Qin Yu in the center, holding the ever-spinning Eternal Pole Crystal Core in his palm. He focused his divine sense into it, and instantly, a line of golden patterns appeared on the crystal core:

The Name of Logic: Qin Yu

Above the void, billions of epoch lines trembled slightly, as if the universe itself acknowledged the existence of this "newcomer".

He bowed deeply and slowly began to speak:

"Respectfully bidding farewell to Hao Yuanzun."

Silent light, without a sound, echoes throughout the universe.

The Source of Epochless: A new era has quietly begun.

The sky was silent, and the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror finally fell silent. Qin Yu put away the Eternal Pole Crystal Core, stepped into the void, and without a thought, the rules of the Annihilation Source Realm opened a rift on their own. He was like a ray of annihilation light that disappeared into the space-time rift and vanished from the Floating Cosmos Battle Domain in an instant.

The next moment, in the Radiant Palace Eastern Region of the Observer Race of the Source of Epochless, the temple guard hall of the Observation Clan of the Eastern Border of the Eternal Evolution Realm Hall, endless chronological patterns flowed above the golden dome, and a multitude of lights stood solemnly.

The main hall was already filled with important officials.

At the highest position in the center of the temple, Venerable Lord Tong Ning and Hall Master Yan Xu sat solemnly, their imposing presence and aura reaching to the Nine Nether. Below them, the clan ancestors, patriarchs, and leaders of the [Nineteen Divine Halls] all stood solemnly beneath the pillars of divine light.

They had been waiting here for a long time.

Suddenly, a chain of annihilating light tore apart above the palace gate in an instant.

A figure slowly stepped out from the spatial causal layer. Before his foot even landed, the light of the hall's rules split open on its own, and all divine power, suppression, authority... all dissipated.

Qin Yu, the first person in this era to truly Observer Race, has returned from the Annihilation Source Realm, the master of the Eternal Pole Crystal Core.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

The next moment, a surge of light erupted, and the many patriarchs of the Nineteen Divine Halls rose to their feet and bowed in unison towards Qin Yu's direction!

"Welcome back, Guardian Qin Yu, with glory!"

This voice seemed to awaken the Fate Soul of the entire Radiant Palace Eastern Region, causing countless causes and effects to resonate at this moment. All the clan leaders knew that if it weren't for Qin Yu today, the Observer Race in the Battle of the Floating Cosmos Battle Mirror would probably have been suppressed by the Star Descendant Clan!

And now, it is this young man at the Annihilation Source Realm · Initial Stage who has successively defeated Zhu Yiheng, directly Annihilation Ye Yuanyao, forced back two Silent Profundity Elders of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, Hao Yuanzun!

At this moment, he was no longer just a member of the Observer Clan, but a pivotal figure connecting the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer.

At the front of the main hall, Tong Ning parted her red lips slightly, her voice calm yet filled with boundless joy:

"Qin Yu, you're finally back."

Yan Xu also stood up, laughing heartily, "Hahaha, Qin Yu, this time you've truly made the entire outer clans of the Source of Epochless remember the name of my Observer Clan!"

Yao Zhiyan strode over from beside her seat, her beautiful eyes smiling, filled with undisguised joy and respect. "Senior Brother Qin... you are truly amazing."

Ju Ji, Dan Guikui, Luo Yuncang, and the others also bowed in greeting, their eyes filled with excitement, admiration, and the most sincere feelings between fellow disciples.

"If you weren't here for this battle, we would never have made it to the end," Dan Guikui said solemnly.

"That Ye Yuanyao of the Starborn Group, I knew I was no match for him... but you saved our dignity." Luo Yuncang sighed.

"This time we won not only the game, but also the recognition of the entire Source of Epochless!" Ju Ji said firmly.

Qin Yu simply bowed calmly, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone present, his voice steady yet devoid of arrogance:

"I was merely one of the Observer Race; this battle is a victory for all of us."

The hall fell silent once more, followed by thunderous applause that surged from the divine rune's light domain, lasting for a long time.

At that moment, everyone understood: Qin Yu of today was no longer among the guards of the past.

He will truly become the guiding force that leads the Observer Clan out of the periphery and into the main narrative stage of the Source of Epochless.

The sky was serene, and all things were silent.

At that moment, Qin Yu spoke calmly yet with thunderous force to the crowd, "Seniors, senior brothers, junior sisters... Hao Yuanzun has officially accepted me as an inner disciple of the [Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall], and has granted me permission to Observer Race's enjoyment of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall's resource inheritance and cross-realm enhancements for three eras."

--Upon hearing this, the hall fell into a deathly silence for three breaths.

In the next instant, as if the sky had been torn apart, countless eras of silence collapsed simultaneously—

"What?! An inner disciple of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall?! What did you say?!"

"He just said... the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, a resource inheritance spanning three eras?!"

Boom!!!

Inside the main hall, dozens of beings whose cultivation levels were all at the peak of the Annihilation Origin, the Sole Book, or even the Silent Profundity Peak, were completely out of control for a moment. Their excitement, shock, and disbelief surged like a tidal wave, overwhelming everything.

Even the three patriarchs who were the clan's guardians couldn't help but rise from their seats, their eyes gleaming with starlight and their Sea of Qi rumbling incessantly.

That's one of the core holy sites in the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer, the [Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall]!

That is the place that governs the logical order of the entire world, analyzes the fundamental structure, and controls the causality of space and time!

That is a sacred realm that even countless geniuses from millions of races could never set foot in during their entire lives!

The phrase "inner disciple" --

That was an identity that the entire outer clans of the Source of Epochless dared not even dream of, a threshold that countless experts in the Silent Mystery Realm could not obtain even if they exhausted their lives!

And now, such glory, such an opportunity...

It was actually captured by Qin Yu of the Observer Clan alone!

Not only that, he even brought with him a gift of resources from the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall spanning three centuries!

What does that mean?

This means the entire Observer Race --

Within the next three eras, they will gain access to mid-level resources, logical leaps, access to secret realms, causal enhancement, spatial teleportation, soul chain exchange, and even the authority to construct underlying rules!

A race that was originally completely blocked by the middle layer will now have the power to Realm Breaking!

"This... this is simply... a transformation of the clan's destiny across an entire era!"

"He... he single-handedly rewrote the fate of the entire Observer Race?!"

"Qin Yu! How did you do that?!"

Some were so excited they could hardly contain themselves; others had already knelt down and prostrated themselves in worship.

That was more than just reverence for Qin Yu—

It is also a true worship of the "power of Fate Soul reconstruction" that it represents!

Venerable Lord Tong Ning gently rose, his bright eyes revealing an irrepressible excitement and... deep satisfaction.

"Okay, okay... okay... I knew it, I knew I wasn't wrong about you."

Yan Xu then burst into loud laughter, slamming his fist on the balustrade beneath him, causing the laws of the entire palace to resonate!

"Hahahaha! Billions of years! Finally! Finally someone has taken this step!"

"Qin Yu! You are the first Fate Soul Envoy in our Observer Clan's billions of years to transcend the mid-level field of vision!"

"What you bring today is not just glory, but the future dominance of the entire race!"

Yao Zhiyan gazed at him, her eyes swirling with emotion, like a galaxy of stars and tides surging in her heart;

Ju Ji nodded solemnly, his heart surging not only with amazement, but also with heartfelt respect;

Luo Yuncang was even more shocked and speechless, muttering to himself, "As expected of someone at the Annihilation Origin Initial Stage, yet he slew Sole Book and five others... and today he has even entered the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall... Senior Brother... is the Key to our clan's Era."

Dan Guikui stepped forward, his expression solemn, and bowed deeply in respect.

"Dan Guikui, vow to follow Senior Brother Qin Yu on his life's journey."

At this moment, all the geniuses, protectors, divine generals, and clan leaders of the Observer Clan in the main hall rose up in unison, bowed in unison, and their soul consciousness surged like a tide, their fortunes soared like a rainbow, and converged above the sky.

"Congratulations to Qin Yu on entering the Eternal Sacred Domain and taking control of the destiny of his clan."

"Congratulations to our Observer Clan for Realm Breaking, advancing to a new era!"

Outside the hall, countless rays of starlight descended from the void, and the nine clan origin steles resonated automatically, their divine patterns stretching for thousands of feet, their historical records shining brightly.

And further away in the nebula.

At the core of the main lineage of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, a [Inner Disciple Crystal Core] quietly emerged. Within the crystal core, a brand-new life rune inscription slowly took shape.

The name is Qin Yu.

It is engraved into the main sequence logic and included in the constant core.

It represents--

He has stepped into the true central logic of the Source of Epochless.

Inside the hall, everyone was still immersed in the shocking aftershocks of Qin Yu into the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, their souls churning and their discussions never ceasing.

At this moment, the Venerable Lord Tong Ning, high above, slowly rose to his feet. His purple eyes reflected the starlight of nine eras, his demeanor solemn yet carrying an unprecedented air of carefree joy.

She looked at the crowd and spoke loudly:

"Excellent! Today's joy is the most glorious day I Observer Race!"

"Qin Yu led my clan into the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, claiming unparalleled glory. With his own power, he reconstructed our clan's causal destiny and logical order—"

"Such a grand event, how can we not celebrate!"

With a gentle wave of her hand, a nine-star soul beam rose up, transforming into countless soul chains that danced in the sky.

"From this day forward, the Observer Clan will commence its celebratory rituals across the entire realm!"

"From the Guardian Hall to the Divine Diagram Hall, from the Altar of Destiny and Law to the Main Hall of the Silent Temple, all 360 halls and over 70,000 branches can offer source lamps, wishing our clan's destiny to rise once more!"

"I Observer Race and will hold a grand feast for seven days!"

"Anyone who is a disciple of my clan, or True Immortal Great Emperor, Martial God Venerable, or Ancient Universe Emperor who has come from another dimension and has had dealings with my clan, may attend the banquet!"

"Seven days from now, our clan will hold a 'Regional Change Ceremony' at the [Epoch Origin Law Altar] to officially take over the region occupied by the Star Descendant Clan!"

Boom!!!

At that moment, the entire temple seemed to be pierced by the sound of drums from the Nine Realms!

Countless soul chains shot into the sky from all four directions of the palace, transforming into a boundless sea of light that surged into the azure curtain of the clan's domain.

Far, far away, those cross-dimensional True Immortal, alien Emperors, Dao Domain Spirits, and Reverse Realm Saints who had long gathered outside the clan's domain to fight were all shaken the moment Tong Ning's voice fell.

"A grand feast for the Observer Clan? A festival for the entire clan?!"

"They actually allow even us True Immortal from other realms to attend the banquet?"

"The Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall accepts new brothers, clan territories are changed, and resource inheritance begins... This is a complete epochal upheaval..."

In an instant, strange phenomena appeared in all races, and countless high-dimensional beings rose from the observation field in the void and came to the banquet.

Inside the temple, core disciples including Yao Zhiyan, Ju Ji, Dan Guikui, and Luo Yuncang bowed to Qin Yu, chatting and laughing.

"Senior brother, today you can truly be called the one who has secured the fate of our clan!"

"Seven days from now, upon entering the middle level, you, Senior Brother, will be the one to pave the way!"

Qin Yu merely smiled calmly, stood with his hands clasped, and said nothing more. However, within his sea of consciousness, the Azure Ring trembled slightly, its voice calm yet filled with anticipation:

"Let's go. The next step is the Blue Ring... The true 'World Constructor' should awaken by now."
