Annihilation Dawn Night Sky · Star Soul Dream Reflection

Just as the last petal of the Soul Mirror Illusory Garden slowly closed, the entire Radiant Heaven Imperial Capital suddenly trembled, and the night sky seemed to be ignited, with billions of streaks like flowing fire suddenly connecting from the void in all directions.

Boom--!

In an instant, the entire sky was ignited by countless star trails and fiery tides!

They are fluid in shape, yet possess a certain "path of destiny" structure. As they flow, they cut through dimensions, trailing wisps of starlight and waves of color, weaving a series of fiery domains across the sky.

That wasn't just fireworks.

It was a cosmic-level light flow derived from the fusion of "fragments of constructive will" and "aurora of Limitless Evolving True Flow".

Each sliver of starlight represents a segment of destiny, a flashback of a soul's thoughts, a leap in the logic of spacetime.

At this moment, all the people of the entire Radiant Heaven Imperial Capital stood looking up, and all sounds in the world were silent.

Only from afar, atop a floating island high in the sky, came a faint, ethereal melody.

That melody--

It is neither sound nor voice, neither melody nor incantation.

It is like the wind in the sea of consciousness, Unborn, like a whisper after Sever Thought.

It is "Silent Sound Heavenly Music".

An Ultimate ritual music constructed by the Annihilation Origin Priest using the Fate Soul as the medium, the life path as the string, and the soul's sound as the rhythm, is only activated at the fifth node of the "Moon Soul Convergence Festival".

At that moment, the entire Radiant Heaven Imperial Capital immersed in an indescribable intoxication.

Some people shed tears because the music played the last words of their deceased loved ones;

Some rejoiced, for the future wishes awakened within their souls;

Some stood frozen in place, reflecting on the fate they had once missed—

On the high platform where the Star Abyss Palace disciples were, Chi Ning and the others remained silent.

Qin Yu closed his eyes and listened quietly. In his sea of consciousness, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram slowly emerged at this moment, and it even resonated slightly with the flame track in the sky!

Within that scroll, a streak of starlight fell into—

The mark of [Fate Trajectory Profiling: You Didn't Speak, I Had Already Sealed] trembled slightly in the starlight!

Although Azure Ring did not appear, her barely perceptible "Qinghui Perception" deep within her sea of consciousness blinked slightly at this moment, seemingly resonating with some kind of ritual music.

At this moment, Chi Ning spoke softly, as if afraid of disturbing the utter silence of all things:

"It is said that this 'Silent Sound Heavenly Music' will last for the duration of an incense stick burning... Those who can attain enlightenment within it often awaken a buried memory within their Fate Soul..."

Shen Yuzhi responded softly, "Some people will see their own end in this melody."

Mo Zhiyan smiled enigmatically, "I actually hope to see a future trajectory of marriage and having children..."

"You're overthinking it." Mu Xun rolled his eyes.

Outside the crowd, strangers were whispering among themselves:

"I heard that in the previous 'Silent Sound Heavenly Music, a genius at the Annihilation Dawn Realm suddenly comprehended the' Fate Construct Reverse Trajectory's technique at the end of the piece, and broke through to the No Consciousness Realm three days later..."

"I heard that it was at this moment that the head of the main city's Weapon Pavilion discerned the 'Shattered Name Trajectory' of his own divine weapon, only then realizing its original name was 'Starfall Void Prison'..."

The music hadn't stopped, and the night was still young.

The entire Radiant Heaven Imperial Capital was bathed in this magnificent ceremony interwoven with star trails and silent sounds, as if billions of life trails were dancing together in the sky, as if the entire soul structure of the Source of Epochless was resonating and vibrating at this moment!

Just as the "Silent Sound Heavenly Music" slowly dissipated at the end of the Star Flame Orbit, a low, eerie murmur suddenly emanated from the entire southern void of the Radiant Heaven Imperial Capital. Immediately afterward, the Myriad Realms, awakened by the resonance of the sacrificial music, slowly began the most romantic, beautiful, and "soulful" ritual of this [Moon Soul Convergence Festival]—the Thousand Wishes Spirit Ritual.

"Whoosh--!"

Before anyone could react, the dazzling, dreamlike sea of radiant flowers had already descended from the sub-layer of the void!

Those are not flowers of the mortal world, but rather a [Willful Flower Domain] constructed from the fusion of the [Dark Evolving Undercurrent of Limitless Evolving True Flow " and the "Soul Wish Shattered Crystal"!

Each petal represents an unfulfilled wish from the depths of the soul.

Each flower stem is an echo of a trajectory etched by the Fate Soul.

The entire sea of flowers—not growing on the ground, but floating in the sky—forms a floating soul flower domain that spans the capital, like a cascading galaxy, stretching for hundreds of miles in the void!

Countless cultivators from the Source of Epochless rose simultaneously, slowly raising their palms into the air—

That's the gesture for a "wish offering".

Chi Ning murmured softly, "During the Thousand Wishes Spirit Ritual, as long as you make a wish under the sea of flowers, a real 'wishe imprint' will be planted deep within your Fate Soul. If your destiny grants it in the future, it will manifest as reality."

"But..." Shen Yuzhi gently reminded, "If one's intentions are not sincere or one's mind is unsettled, the flower seal can backfire; it's not unheard of."

"So, you see," Mo Zhiyan, leaning against the railing with a roguish grin, "When it comes to making a wish, you still have to have a clear conscience."

--Just then!

The entire sky filled with the radiant sea of flowers began to "droop" on its own!

Each petal, trailing extremely fine starlight threads, slowly descended towards the crowd below, giving each soul a "light kiss," as if testing whether their Fate Soul was stable and whether they were qualified to "carry wishes."

When it landed above Qin Yu, the Radiant Soul Flower suddenly froze!

In an instant, the entire sea of flowers trembled slightly, and thousands of petals turned at the same time, tilting slightly towards Qin Yu's head!

This scene startled many of the onlookers, who whispered among themselves.

"Who is he? How could he cause all the flowers to vibrate in unison?"

"Isn't that the inner disciple's attire of the Eternal Extreme Sacred Hall? How can someone who's only just entered the sect cause the Flower Sea to tremble?"

"This is outrageous! I spent six hundred years cultivating to awaken my three petals... and he actually..."

Qin Yu himself simply stood there quietly, without moving an inch.

His eyes were calm, yet scenes from the past surfaced in his mind—

The place where parents passed away, the moment the Azure Ring first appeared, the night of Annihilation Abyss, the battle at the breaking point of the Primordial Void.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, silently uttering a single sentence:

"I am willing to live up to everything, to break through the silence and return to the source."

The petals froze, then silently merged into his body, transforming into a deep blue wish pattern that faintly swirled at the bottom of his Fate Soul.

Just then, Azure Ring whispered a message from the depths of his consciousness—

"This thing... is fun. Maybe we can use these 'wishing patterns'... to do something big in the future."

He did not respond.

But a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, on another high platform, the veiled woman narrowed her eyes for the first time:

"His Fate Soul's wish actually fulfilled the 'Deep Azure Law'... Indeed, he was not the one destined to appear in this era."

He is—the only... 'Unwritten Chapter' beneath the fractured path of fate.

Just as the Thousand Wishes Spirit Ritual gradually fell silent, and the vast sea of radiant flowers began to slowly rise into the sky and dissolve into the starry sky of the Imperial Capital, a violent tremor suddenly occurred in the Holy Radiance Orbit Domain on the eastern side of the Radiant Heaven Imperial Capital.

"Boom--!"

Under the influence of countless moonlight particles, a massive bridge-shaped structure slowly emerged across the entire eastern Eastern Region of the capital!

That was not a bridge built by mortals, but the [Myriad Construct Resonance Bridge] automatically awakened by the core of the Moon Soul Convergence Festival, the "Moon Soul Law Codex"!

This bridge is constructed from 999 logical flow pillars that connect the celestial paths of destiny. Guided by the "Divine Light of the Moon Soul" and imprinted with the "Soul Seal Lines," it forms a multi-dimensional, structured soul resonance channel that spans the heavens and links countless possible destinies.

Its length is immeasurable.

Its width is such that it can accommodate a thousand ships sailing side by side.

Its texture is neither metal nor stone or wood, but a [Void Constant Life Layer Crystal Logic Matter] formed by the "Rules of Construction Techniques themselves". It is transparent, flowing with the colors of thousands of rules of construction techniques, and reflecting the orbits of billions of stars.

From afar, it appears as a "colorful, transparent divine bridge" that runs through the core of the star and moon.

Chi Ning's eyes widened slightly, and she sighed softly:

"It's here... The legendary miracle that only appears once every Moon Soul Convergence Festival —the [Myriad Construct Resonance Bridge]."

"It is said that this bridge will bear the 'structural frequency' of all the Fate Soul in the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer on this night. If one can step onto this bridge and successfully resonate, one can obtain a real 'divine-level structural pattern'. Even if it is just a fragment, it is priceless."

"But those who can complete the entire journey are extremely rare, perhaps only one in ten thousand."

Luo Huan's eyes burned with fervor. "I observed that of the 5,632 people who crossed this bridge last year, fewer than ten actually walked thirty feet."

Du Linglin sneered, "Ha, less than ten people? I think tonight, there might not be a single one."

As soon as everyone finished speaking, a halo suddenly lit up on the divine bridge!

Someone has entered.

She was a woman in a green robe who came from the Western Territory the capital. She was wrapped in five soul chains of construction techniques, each of which had a high-level logical self-consistent circuit.

But she only took the seventh step before she fell off the divine bridge with a "boom," caught by the gentle moon soul barrier, which forcibly erased her Fate Soul resonance frequency and pulled her out of the bridge domain.

Then, the second person, the third person...

They all tried, but none of them could take thirty steps.

Qin Yu stood on high ground, gazing at the divine bridge that flowed slowly like the veins of the Milky Way, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Azure Ring yawned in his mind's eye. "This thing is interesting. It can actually try to reconcile the Fate Soul with the origin of the technique... However, in our Ring Map, this kind of bridge is just one of the old-fashioned trials."

He didn't respond, but slowly raised his eyes and lightly clenched his right palm.

A shard of light from the "Silent Beginning - Ring Master Soul Diagram" slowly rotated in his palm, projecting towards the direction of the Divine Bridge of Techniques.

At the same time, a logic array at the deepest part of the bridge suddenly trembled, and three "Life Source Tracks" of completely different colors emerged from the depths of the bridge.

Red Soul Cause Severance Structure

Blue Sea of Consciousness Echo Track

Black Unnamed Track

All three tracks lead to the Resonance Altar at the end of the Divine Bridge!

"Isn't this... the 'Three Origin Guide Tracks' that only appears once every Moon Soul Convergence Festival?"

"It actually appeared ahead of schedule? Could it be that the core will of the capital is responding to some... special Fate Soul?"

But no one knew that all of this was merely a fleeting tremor of the "Silent Beginning Soul Diagram" in Qin Yu's palm.

Those three tracks then responded to his presence.

"Let's go," he whispered, without moving.

Azure Ring chuckled softly in his mind's eye, saying, "If you don't leave, I can't bear to watch anymore; if you don't move, the bridge won't open."

While everyone was still in shock, the divine bridge spanning the capital's starry sea slowly revealed a special staircase engraved with "azure patterns".

Only one level available--

But it seemed as if they were waiting for someone to finally take the first step.

The night in the Radiant Heaven Imperial Capital was like a dream.

As the starlight fades from the Myriad Construct Resonance Bridge, a secret realm of illusionary forest— the Star Soul Dream Reflection Forest —slowly unfolds south of the central axis of the capital city, the Starlight Divine Tower Palace. This forest, which has never been visible during the day, can only be revealed on nights when the moon souls converge.

It was a semi-real, semi-illusory forest suspended between the night sky and the city.

The entire Dream Forest, without roots or origin, floats in layers in the void, like the Milky Way falling to earth. One after another, Soul Shadow Trees spiral out, each one formed by the interweaving of "Dream Soul Impressions" and "Star Soul Orbit Remnants". Their branches are like crystals, their leaves like rosy clouds, flowing with indescribable dazzling starlight.

There was no dust or flowers in the forest, only the flowing starlight and the echoing of dreams. It was as if every gust of wind was the whisper of ancient techniques, and every shadow of a leaf reflected the past dream trajectory of the cultivator.

At this moment, countless beams of spiritual light emanated from the forest, and billions of onlookers gathered in dense crowds.

"Look, that's the Star Soul Dream Reflection Forest...!"

"Look! The Reflection Forest has opened! A 'Soul Forest Image Imprint' will definitely appear tonight!"

The so-called "Soul Forest Image Imprint" is a rare spectacle in the Star Soul Dream Reflection Forest. Legend has it that if someone condenses their own "Soul Seal True Image" in the forest, it can be reflected into the Heavenly Star Soul Chain. In the future, their cultivation can be accelerated to comprehend the form of the "True Body of Fate Soul". Millions of people pursue it but cannot obtain it.

Looking at the Kong Ling and profound forest, Chi Ning said softly, "This Dream Forest carries the echoes of every cultivator who left their Soul Seal here in the Source of Epochless · Middle Layer... If we enter it, perhaps we can see some possibility of our future."

Luo Huan nodded and said, "However, although this place is called 'Dream Forest,' it is actually controlled by the Moon Soul Master Chain. If someone with a weak will or impure soul enters, they are very likely to fall into an illusion and never know it."

"I've heard that... five thousand years ago, a senior at the Chaos Realm entered the Dream Forest, only to transform into a star shadow and sink eternally within it, becoming a Soul Vine that still whispers in the forest to this day."

The group fell silent.

Just then, a clear voice came from the depths of the forest, like a little girl singing softly:

Stars come and go, souls wander, dreams reside tonight;

A single leaf may stir, yet a thousand years may seem distant...

As the voice softly chanted, a "Annihilation Dawn Dream Soul Tree" suddenly rose slowly from the center of the Star Soul Dream Reflection Forest.

That is the core tree of the entire forest, which only appears when the night of convergence arrives.

This tree, with its deep blue starlight, reflects the soul of every viewer like a mirror. It has no branches yet can cover the sky, no leaves yet can reflect dreams. Its roots stretch across the vast void, seemingly connecting to the river of memories across billions of time and space.

"The Annihilation Dawn Dream Soul Tree... the true image of the soul will appear."

Suddenly, a faint light burst forth from somewhere in the forest, and a figure quietly stepped into the Dream Forest. It was a young cultivator dressed in a light purple robe.

"That's... Hun Yingzi of the Epoch Extreme Dao Clan? He actually came to the Star Soul Dream Reflection Forest in person?"

All eyes turned to that person, and then wave after wave of cultivators began to step into the forest on their own, each trying to find their own echo of soul light under the "Annihilation Dawn Dream Soul Tree".

"Let's go in too," Chi Ning said softly.

Qin Yu nodded slowly.

As he stepped into the dream forest where starlight surged, countless starlight rushed towards him like fragments of his consciousness, and the world fell silent in an instant.

The wind stopped, and my thoughts seemed to be stripped away, leaving only the deepest wisp of my original soul intent, resonating with the Dream Soul Tree from afar.

In an instant, a barely perceptible ring mark appeared on the trunk of the Dream Soul Tree!

"Huh? What's that? It's... a wheel ring?"

"Whose Soul Seal is on the core of the Shaking Annihilation Dawn Dream Soul Tree?"

"Look! The tree trunk is starting to turn bluish-green; that's a sign of a 'Source Soul Level Life Seal'!"

A murmur rippled through the crowd, but at that moment, Azure Ring silently materialized on Qin Yu's shoulder, chuckling softly:

"Tsk, the Dream Soul Tree? It dares to spy on my Qin Yu?"

"Come on, I'll teach you what true Soul Seal Echo is."

The next moment, deep within the Dream Forest, the Annihilation Dawn Dream Soul Tree slowly emitted nine-colored soul light.

This night was destined to be a miraculous night, one that would never happen again in the capital.
