If anyone were to stand outside the Star Abyss Palace Hall, even just to observe from afar, they would likely hold their breath.
Because what came into their view was no longer an ordinary palace for cultivation and recuperation, but a grand spectacle that made even the logic of heaven and earth bow down.
The entire Star Abyss Palace seemed to have transformed into a "primordial guiding star" at the center of the Annihilation Origin Source.
Above the sky, the Limitless Evolving True Flow originally flowed slowly deep within the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall. It was a controlled energy, a supreme sacred object that only elders at the Chaos Realm · Supreme could guide their cultivation in minute quantities using the "Eternal Pole Crystal Core." Any cultivator who had entered the No Consciousness Realm or higher, even those who had reached the "Stainless" level, had to introduce it in units of "a few strands." If they were even slightly greedy, they would be devoured by the Logic Fragments and Dark Evolving Undercurrent within it, instantly annihilating their soul core, leaving not even their Soul Seal.
But at this moment, Qin Yu is in the Star Abyss Palace...
It was as if the Fate Soul Vortex had been deliberately activated!
The Limitless Evolving True Flow did not reject him; instead, it surged forth like millions of dragon whales swimming into a harbor, overflowing from the palace dome, side corridors, the gaps in the life patterns, and even the void rifts, all transforming into a vast ocean of light that poured into Qin Yu alone.
If the elders of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall were to witness that scene, they would likely gasp in shock, and even the Lord of Hengji would be enraged.
"Is he insane? Or does he simply not belong to the logic of this universe?"
That's a level of True Essence that only those who create the rules can bear; it's not a privilege that cultivators should possess!
If an inner disciple were to witness this from afar, they would likely collapse to their knees, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, their souls trembling violently. Their first thought would not be doubt, but rather—
Is what I see still real?
A wisp of Origin Void Substance flew into Qin Yu's brow, enough to make an ordinary Annihilation Origin cultivator go into seclusion for a hundred years.
A single Karmic Dust connecting with his Fate Soul is enough to cause Logic Realm Realm expert to trigger a celestial phenomenon ahead of schedule.
But now, he is using a method that is almost like "Realm Devouring" to make the Evolving True Flow actively converge, using the Fate Soul as an anchor, and the Yandao Return to One, like a prelude to the creation of the world.
... If one were standing high in the sky right now, looking down over the entire depths of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, one would clearly see--
Among those hundreds of cultivation halls, only the location of the Star Abyss Palace was shrouded in the radiance of billions of Fate Soul stars, like an "eternal meteor" illuminating the entire temple's destiny trajectory in reverse, becoming the "sole focus" into which the Limitless Evolving True Flow spontaneously converged.
That's not absorption, it's --
World-class build permissions, granted by the Fate Soul, are in operation.
Unfortunately, no one can witness this scene.
Only Qin Yu, in complete silence, sat upright at the heart of the Fate Soul Array with his eyes closed, like an ancient god calmly observing the formation of the starry sea, letting the logic of the world unfold on its own, with all things entering and ultimately returning to his single thought.
The Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, the top floor of the main hall.
Ordinary people are not allowed to go to this place. Even the Pillar Elder must ask for permission and report to the authorities, because there exists there Ultimate being who has guarded the Origin Fate Ring of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall since ancient times.
He was none other than Ancestor Hao Wuli, one of the highest beings in the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, second only to Hao Yuanzun Ancestor.
At this moment, deep within the long-silent Ancient Forbidden Land of the Silent Wheel, a figure seated cross-legged atop the Myriad Paths Star Abyss Altar suddenly opened his eyes—
Without a sound, the entire depths of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall suddenly trembled for half a breath, and the power of billions of life trajectories echoed from outside the temple!
A rapidly spinning golden-white Fate Ring appeared in Ancestor Hao Wuli's pupils. His gaze pierced through the barriers of countless Fate Soul and saw the phenomenon of the Limitless Evolving True Flow converging in a certain palace domain, as if the source of the flood had been severed!
His expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up. A wisp of Realm Breaking power quietly appeared beneath his feet. Without summoning the crystal core or using the life platform authority, it tore apart the high-level silent domain barrier in an instant!
"This is... the Limitless Evolving True Flow is actively converging?! This is not a quantity that can be manipulated by humans. Could it be that the logic of the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer has broken down?!"
With a soft shout, before the words had even faded, he transformed into a golden beam of light, piercing through the sealed forbidden zone of the Limitless Realm Ring, heading straight for the Star Abyss Palace, the convergence point of the Evolving True Flow!
... And at this moment, inside the Star Abyss Palace.
All the brilliance had faded, and the Limitless Evolving True Flow gradually returned to silence. Only faint, almost invisible particles of destiny remained in the air, flowing softly as if they were the last breaths of the celestial realm.
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes. The Azure Ring in his sea of consciousness had already automatically closed the Fate Soul Array, stopping the absorption.
The moment his consciousness returned to his body, he felt as if he were at the center of a molten nebula. His sea of consciousness was crystal clear, and the light of his Fate Soul, like thunder in the stillness, continuously struck his spiritual platform, reshaping him.
He took a deep breath and spoke softly:
"This feeling... is simply indescribable."
He looked down at his palm, where spiritual energy shone like stars and Fate Soul shone like rosy clouds. He could truly feel the source life particles within his body reconstructing himself in an unprecedentedly active state.
In just a moment, he had broken through.
Annihilation Source Realm - High Rank.
This is not a violent accumulation of forced breakthroughs, but rather an elevation of his status as "the world's logic actively acknowledges" his existence!
He couldn't help but chuckle softly, a hint of surprise in his voice. "I never imagined... the Limitless Evolving True Flow would be so terrifying. I've only absorbed it for a short time, and I've already broken through to the Annihilation Source Realm · High Stage... This is truly..."
"This is good stuff."
Before the words had even finished, Azure Ring gently appeared in her sea of consciousness, its calm and composed voice echoing at the edge of her soul:
"This can't be described simply as 'good stuff'."
Only you can absorb it this way.
"If it were any other cultivator, even a saint at the Stainless Realm · Supreme, they could only slowly refine a tiny amount. The slightest carelessness would result in a backlash from the fragments of cause and effect, with the Dark Evolving Undercurrent eroding their sea of consciousness, causing logical entanglements, and ultimately leading to their complete annihilation at the source level."
"And for mortals... even a trace of it is enough to directly ignite their Fate Soul, elevate them to a transcendent state beyond the records, and achieve the status of Primordial True Immortal, or be recognized by Heaven and Earth as a 'Logic-Transcendent Sacred Physique'."
Azure Ring spoke calmly, yet every word she uttered was as heavy as a star.
"But you—can absorb it like a drink, penetrate it like thunder, and not only is your consciousness not disordered, but it has also given rise to Logic Fragments interlocking structure compatible with the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword."
"This isn't cultivation; it's—rewriting how the world understands you."
As Qin Yu listened, his gaze gradually became focused. He looked up at the dome of the Star Abyss Palace, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
It seems... that some extremely powerful being in the world is rapidly approaching in an indescribable way.
... The starlight has not yet faded, the Fate Soul lies dormant.
Beyond the rising winds and surging clouds, a true storm, powerful enough to shake the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer, is quietly taking shape.
Above the Star Abyss Hall, the once silent sky suddenly twisted!
The void trembled slightly, like glass shattering, and a magnificent golden light tore through the sky, coalescing into a human figure above countless celestial orbits.
Ancestor Hao Wuli, one of the highest beings in the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall, did not manifest the power of his divine soul. With just a slight glimpse of his aura, the entire Star Abyss Hall Domain seemed to fall into a frozen zone where Fate Soul were frozen. The logic of time and space instantly froze, and even the spiritual array of the palace itself shut down instantly, bowing down as if paying homage to an ancient god!
Within the palace, several figures appeared in an instant; they were the inner sect elders stationed at the Star Abyss Hall.
Their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately bowed their heads in respect, their voices booming like thunder yet utterly deferential:
"Welcome to the Ancestor Hao Wuli!"
A huge wave of emotion surged within them.
Ancestor Hao Wuli someone who could casually go out to observe temples.
Each appearance in the world is a harbinger of some kind of great change, logical rupture, or impending rebellion in the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer!
But now, he has actually come to the Star Abyss Hall in person?!
Ancestor Hao Wuli stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his expression solemn, his gaze deep and distant, as if piercing through the curtain of countless universes, scanning the entire Star Abyss Hall, and also sweeping beyond the billions of Annihilation Domains.
Wherever his gaze fell, even the flow of the Limitless Evolving True Flow seemed to slow down for a moment, and the world became eerily quiet.
After a long pause, he let out a soft hum and muttered to himself, his voice barely audible:
"No... The Limitless Evolving True Flow clearly manifested like a flood in my sea of consciousness, so why is everything normal now? The Source of Epochless has not collapsed, and the logical framework remains intact... Could it be that I've been in seclusion for too long, and the image in my sea of consciousness... is causing me to experience a delusional state of demonic possession?"
Although the voice was soft, it reached the ears of the elders below, causing a slight tremor in each of them. Though their expressions remained unchanged, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
After a moment, the oldest elder in the hall, dressed in a golden robe, finally raised his head carefully and respectfully asked:
"I wonder what orders the Ancestor has given by visiting the Star Abyss Hall today?"
Ancestor Hao Wuli's gaze was calm, his voice cold:
"Did you sense any unusual fluctuations within the palace domain just now?"
The elder paused slightly, carefully considering his words, and finally replied in a low voice:
"Reporting to the Ancestor, this disciple has thoroughly examined the Fate Soul Crystal Diagram and the Palace Domain Spiritual Patterns, and found nothing unusual. The flow rate and concentration of the Limitless Evolving True Flow are stable, and the Derivation Array shows no signs of disorder."
Ancestor Hao Wuli remained silent, his gaze slightly lowered, his expression unchanged, as if he were deep in thought.
He gazed once more at the sky above the Star Abyss Hall. The Limitless Evolving True Flow in the void continued to flow slowly, as naturally as the breath of a slumbering god—there was no turmoil, no backflow, and no evidence to prove that his perception was accurate.
After a long silence, he finally withdrew his divine sense, his robes fluttering without wind, and stepped into the Void Realm.
Whoosh--!
His body was surrounded by swirling golden energy, and his figure faded from view in a silent twist of logic, disappearing completely.
The elders below slowly straightened up, exchanged glances, and had different expressions.
One person whispered:
"Ancestor Hao Wuli... what happened? Wasn't it said that he would be in seclusion for at least ten thousand years? Why did he suddenly come out of the temple?"
Another elder frowned, a look of doubt on his face, but his tone was calm:
"The Ancestor was no ordinary person; everything he saw in his sea of consciousness was not a delusion. Perhaps he sensed something beyond our dimensional comprehension."
"But such beings... are beyond our reach. Since we have not been commanded, we must not speak of them."
The third person sighed softly and shook his head, saying:
"Very well, the Ancestor will handle it. Let's just focus on our own tasks."
"Everyone, let's disperse."
Several elders quietly dispersed, leaving only a faint wisp of Fate Soul light above the Star Abyss Palace, as if the heavens and earth were still remembering the eternal supreme will that had not appeared for countless years, only to catch a fleeting glimpse of it.
... Meanwhile, within the Star Abyss Palace Hall, Qin Yu remained seated quietly on his spiritual platform, eyes closed, mind focused, his aura Anran, completely unaware of what was happening.
In a single moment, he had subtly shaken the decision of the highest being in the entire Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall to leave the temple.
It was the eve of a storm that no one witnessed, yet was enough to shake the chessboard of fate.
On his spiritual platform, Qin Yu sat motionless.
But in the midst of this utterly silent Star Abyss, a slight tremor, unlike anything he had ever experienced before, suddenly surged deep within his sea of consciousness.
--That was not an external invasion, nor a change in his soul, but a subtle transformation that was quietly unfolding from the deepest Fate Soul Nucleus.
His Innate Martial Soul— [Silent Beginning: Ring Master Soul Diagram]—after a long period of dormancy, finally underwent a subtle change under the deep penetration of the Limitless Evolving True Flow.
Within the vast Soul Map space, which resembled a universe of soul consciousness, the center of the main Soul Map, which had been as still as a monument, began to emanate extremely faint rainbow ripples, like the ripples of a nebula slowly spreading outwards.
Even more bizarrely, the ripples' glow wasn't caused by ordinary energy, but by a color never seen before—
Profound Limitless Radiance.
It was a light that could not be named, an Ultimate radiance formed by the flow of "Origin Void Substance" and the entanglement of "dark Dark Evolving Undercurrent"—mixed with cosmic black, iridescent flow, star silver and annihilating gold mist, as if the underlying logic of the entire Limitless Realm had been melted into the Soul Diagram.
It made no sound, had no temperature, yet it was slowly, little by little—
Enveloping, permeating, washing, and reconstructing the boundary patterns of the entire [Silent Beginning - Ring Master Soul Diagram].
The life trajectory inscriptions originally engraved on the diagram began to appear and disappear in the Wuji radiance, sometimes rewritten, sometimes blurred; the phantoms of the main soul pen and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembled slightly at the edge of the soul diagram, as if responding to a deeper constructive will.
At this moment, Azure Ring appeared in Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, her pupils slightly narrowed, her tone carrying a rare hint of pleasure and a light click of her tongue:
"Oh, okay..."
"It seems your Innate Martial Soul has also sensed the fundamental structure of the Limitless Evolving True Flow."
"This [Silent Beginning - Ring Master Soul Diagram] was originally the initial form of the ring-shaped Fate Soul Nucleus, belonging to one of the anchor points of cosmic logic, but it has always maintained its original structure without change. Now it has finally begun to slowly change."
Qin Yu's mind jolted, and he slowly focused on the changes in the soul diagram within his sea of consciousness.
"This light... is it a reaction to the Limitless Evolving True Flow?"
Azure Ring said softly:
"It's not a reaction, it's a fusion."
"Of the five essential elements of the Limitless Evolving True Flow, you now possess two within you: 'Origin Void Substance' and 'Dark Evolving Undercurrent,' which are resonating with the [Silent Beginning - Ring Master Soul Diagram]."
"This shows that it is resolving these essential aspects on its own and attempting to incorporate them into its construction logic... barring any unforeseen circumstances --"
Azure Ring paused slightly, her voice suddenly softening:
"In the near future, it will truly awaken... no longer in its 'initial form,' but rather—entering the true evolution of [Unique Soul Diagram - World-Constructing Level]."
"At that time, you will no longer be just a user of a martial soul."
"Instead—[Soul Diagram Realm Wielder]."
As soon as he finished speaking, his consciousness fell silent once more.
And that wisp of "Profound Limitless Radiance" continues to slowly and firmly entwine the entire soul diagram structure, like a gentle yet irresistible cosmic stirring, softly altering destiny.
Qin Yu closed his eyes, the Annihilation Wheel within his body spun silently, his Fate Soul stood like a monument, and his consciousness surged like a tide. In the darkness, he seemed to hear a distant "Gate of Realms Opening" from the depths of his future destiny.
... And [Silent Beginning - Ring Master Soul Diagram] will finally embark on the path of true awakening after this moment.
