Dream Realm Rift Source · The Silent Sword Finds Its Master

Deep within the Illusory Dream Spirit Realm Temple, the woman, now in human form, her robes fluttering, spoke with a voice as gentle as a night spring's whisper. Her gaze drifted into the distant distance as she slowly began to speak, "At the edge of the Illusory Dream Abyss, there stands a solitary mountain called [Dream Abyss Floating Peak]. At its summit, a sword has never been drawn. That sword belongs neither to this world nor to reality—it is called [Blade of Dream Silence], the weapon used by Lan Billowing Annihilation Dream Vulture to suppress her soul, carrying the oldest fragments and remnants of logic from the Soul Annihilation consciousness."

She turned to look at Qin Yu: "If you can pull out this sword, perhaps... you can not only obtain it, but also possibly break the deepest seal in this place."

Qin Yu's gaze was calm as he stepped forward. "Then I'll trouble you, Fairy, to lead the way."

The woman nodded gently, and with a flick of her sleeve, a dreamlike staircase shimmering with blue and gold ripples appeared in the air, like a rainbow bridge connecting the other side of the abyss. She lightly touched the air with her toes, gracefully leaping onto the staircase, and turned to Qin Yu with a charming smile, "Come with me— Dream Abyss Floating Peak, you won't be shy here."

Qin Yu took a step forward, his figure merging into the dreamlike staircase. Ahead, the illusion surged, and amidst the intertwining of dreams and reality, a solitary mountain floating above millions of dream mists slowly appeared on the horizon.

[Dream Abyss Floating Peak],.

Mountains are not mountains, boundaries Non-Realm; countless shattered dreams rise from the mountains, swirling in the air like bubbles; atop the mountain stands a black-silver blade, its tip slightly curved, piercing the heart of the floating peak, seemingly having pierced the dreams of countless realms—that is the legendary [Blade of Dream Silence].

The Limitless Evolving True Flow around them ceased, and the aura fell silent. At that moment, even Azure Ring quieted down in her sea of consciousness, only uttering a soft murmur, "This sword... seems not to belong to 'existence'..."

The woman stood in mid-air, nodding to Qin Yu from afar. "It only recognizes one person. If you succeed in pulling it up, the Dream Realm will recognize you as its master."

Qin Yu's gaze narrowed slightly as he slowly ascended to the top, stepping into the true core of the dream.

At the summit of Dream Abyss Floating Peak, the wind has ceased and the clouds are still. Only the ancient sword, [Blade of Dream Silence], which is obliquely stuck at the top of the floating peak, has already shaken the realm of dreams even before its sharpness is revealed, standing between the void and reality. The entire blade emits ripples of silver and black dream-annihilating energy, slowly surging like the dream tide of a night sea.

Qin Yu slowly stepped onto the Heart of Floating Peak. With each step, the dream mist beneath his feet receded like the tide, and all was silent.

He stood before the sword, his gaze calm, and reached out to touch the hilt—

Right now--

A Kong Ling yet majestic voice boomed from the void:

"This sword is not one you can touch."

As soon as the words were spoken, the sky above the entire Dream Abyss Floating Peak suddenly darkened, and a vortex of stars slowly rotated in the air.

Above the sky, the stars dimmed, and a majestic figure, seemingly woven from the entire galaxy, descended from the void. His body was like a crystal star, every inch of his skin like the burning core of a star, and every drop of light on his body was the flowing dust of the universe.

The figure slowly emerged, stepping out from the starlight, as if the Milky Way had descended and taken form. The world instantly fell into a transparent and stagnant spacetime barrier. All the surrounding space, all the energy and causal fluctuations, froze completely, and even the Azure Ring behind Qin Yu froze and stopped flowing in an instant.

At this moment, the man held no weapon, yet his slowly raised arms seemed capable of shaking the heavens and earth. His gaze fell downwards, his eyes showing no anger, only an ancient and desolate scrutiny like a galaxy.

This sword must not be touched.

His voice resonated like a chorus from the nine heavens, and endless starbursts pressed into Qin Yu's sea of consciousness, forcibly constructing a logical field of 'do not approach'.

Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

Azure Ring softly spoke in her sea of consciousness, "This person is not human, but a remnant of the ancient astronomical observation, the 'Seal Body of Sui Star,' created specifically to suppress extraterrestrial forces. Its body has no soul, forged from components of the cosmic sequence."

Just as I expected.

Since he is the one who commands the sword, then shatter his qualification domain!

Qin Yu waved his right hand, and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword was instantly unsheathed. Before the cold light even arrived, its Realm Severing factor had already caused the starlight to collapse. Immediately afterward, the Fate Cause Master Seal took shape in the void of his left hand, and the logic of the sixteen-fold naming structure emerged and surrounded it, with layers of silent patterns shining brightly!

"You won't let me take it, but I'll take it anyway." With that, he declared!

The Seal Body of Sui Star right hand, a "Sequence Star Crystal Seal" condensing between its fingers, and pressed it forward with a sudden force!

Countless star trails swept out from his palm, forming a triple-layered celestial array, like an inverted Milky Way, intending to freeze Qin Yu's space.

Qin Yu's mind jolted, and the sixth form of the Fate Cause Master Seal, [Cause Lock - Mirror Binding Law], was released instantly!

"Freeze the 'exclusion logic' of your principal proposition!"

The life seal unfolded like a star mirror, locking the "untouchable" logic back into the other party's consciousness. Instantly, the star trails scattered, and the pre-heaven star wall shattered!

The Seal Body of Sui Star whispered, "[Incineration Structure - Star Soul Judgment]."

Behind him, a fiery star erupted, collapsing into countless threads of starlight. These threads were not fire, but "Soul Consciousness Component Burning Factors," specifically designed to sever the enemy's martial soul essence!

Qin Yu's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly raised the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword high in his right hand, slashing out diagonally!

[Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword - Sever Fate, Cut Off Return] --

A black annihilation streak that stretched across the sky slashed diagonally across the Star Soul Field, causing the star flames to disintegrate and all the Soul Structure Burning Patterns to be shattered!

"You burn the structure, I 'Origin Destroyer; let's see who burns more thoroughly!"

At this moment, twelve Seal Body of Sui Star. Each platform represented a "qualification assertion," reflecting Qin Yu's entire aura and attempting to deduce all the possible causes and effects of his "unwarranted sword-wielding."

"Fate has not written your name, therefore you should not wield this sword."

This is a "cosmic arbitration" of the legitimacy of existence!

Qin Yu calmly closed his eyes, uttering a soft murmur:

"[Fate Cause Master Seal, Final Order, Fate-Severing Question] -- A Question of Necessity!"

A chain of profound gold emerged from the life seal, nailing itself into the logic of the void's judgment, directly piercing through the twelve star judges!

"You judge my existence based on the logic of a universe other than yours? Then I will write 'inevitability' myself!"

The Twelve Star Platforms collapsed, and the heavens were plunged into shattered light!

The Seal Body of Sui Star finally revealed a solemn expression, and with one step, its form instantly swelled into a body of ten thousand feet of starlight!

"I am already a half-god of creation; how can I tolerate disobedience?"

Three "Star Destiny Severing Structures" rose above his head, one of which contained the very consciousness of the "Sword of Dream Silence"!

He intended to use his "Sword Soul" to suppress Qin Yu in reverse!

And at this moment--

Suddenly, the Azure Ring appeared automatically, its nine forms of light flowing and finally converging into [Azure Ring - Super Awakening Form 1: Return to the Silent Realm Returns to the Beginning - Fate's Existence Completely Covers All]!

Five-shot burst:

Sever the Fate Trajectory in one move!

One move to Shatter Soul Consciousness!

The first Sever the Art's Beginning!

One style Corrupt Heaven's Cause!

One move to the Draw the Silent Edge to Break the Realm!

The entire mountaintop was swallowed by the azure light, and the broken structures of the star's destiny exploded and vanished amidst violent distortion!

The star-studded figure finally let out its first cry, which sounded almost like a painful scream!

"What is this... Annihilation Structure- level destructive technique... Who are you?!"

Qin Yu raised his hand and pointed directly at the Dream Silence Sword.

"I am... the one who has come to unseal you from false logic."

The Azure Ring and the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword converged, and the Three Forms of the Fate Cause Master Seal reappeared!

The Seal Body of Sui Star —collapses!

With a deafening, starburst-like explosion, the Seal Body of Sui Star finally crumbled completely under the triple logic of Annihilation. Its body, constructed from the brilliance of countless stars, fell from the divine platform like a shattered star core after being pierced by Qin Yu's three life seals and the Azure Ring Annihilation Blade. Having lost all logical support, it slowly disintegrated into the void.

Starlight fell like the Milky Way flowing back into the silent valley below, and the sword standing atop the mountain finally began to tremble slightly.

It was a sword that appeared ancient yet whose structure could not be described in words. It was forged entirely from a kind of "Anti-Dimensional Crystal Iron." The blade did not reflect light; instead, it absorbed all the colors and sounds around it. Three ancient inscriptions were engraved on the blade, each character constantly changing its meaning, as if it did not belong to any language system, yet it could shake one's mind.

[The Sword of Dream Silence].

This sword is no ordinary weapon, but a "Soul Consciousness Logic Anchoring Sword" left over from the ancient times of the Illusory Dream Spirit Realm, specifically designed to break through the construction of dreams and annihilate all sources of soul consciousness distortion.

At this moment, the entire mountain seemed to gradually loosen due to the collapse of the sword suppressor. The logic that had been frozen in the air began to thaw, and the Spiritual Qi at the foot of the mountain and the Limitless Evolving True Flow flowed again. On the rocks under Qin Yu's feet, a naturally extending cyan-gold staircase appeared, leading straight to the sword.

The dreamlike woman slowly descended from the sky, her white robe with gold patterns dancing in the wind. She stood on one side of the steps, quietly gazing at him.

"Young master, the sword's guardian has shattered, and the Sword of Dream Silence no longer holds any will to resist... Whether it is willing to be wielded by you depends on whether your Fate-Cause align."

Qin Yu remained calm as he slowly walked forward.

With each step, the Azure Ring in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly, while the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword resonated behind him.

As he stepped onto the last stone step, the Sword of Dream Silence suddenly unleashed a dim sword light!

It does not use brilliance to intimidate, but rather causes cracks to appear in "existence" itself.

This is a sharp and insightful interpretation of real-world issues, so powerful that even Azure Ring trembled slightly at its edge.

Qin Yu slowly raised his right hand, his fingertips touching the sword hilt for a fleeting moment—

Boom--!!

The entire Dream Spirit Mountain suddenly trembled, and a sword cry, consisting of tens of thousands of layers of soul consciousness defenses, resounded throughout the heavens and earth, as if the entire Illusory Dream Spirit Realm was awakening at this moment and beginning some kind of invisible "memory processing".

The Sword of Dream Silence, gently drawn from its sheath.

At that moment, everything before Qin Yu's eyes reversed, and a stream of memories about the "Annihilated Dream Chronicles" quietly entered his sea of consciousness—but the sword intent was not yet fully unleashed, and there was still a deeper layer of sealing it.

The woman's eyes narrowed slightly. "You have successfully triggered its first response... It has not yet fully recognized you as its master, but it... acknowledges that you are qualified to wield it."

"The Sword of Dream Silence must be wielded by someone who can sever dreams and establish understanding."

Qin Yu gripped the sword hilt tightly with his right hand, turned around, Azure Ring transformed into light, swirling back to his brow.

He spoke slowly:

"Since the Sword of Dream Silence acknowledges me... then I should also be able to see with my own eyes the reality deep within the Illusory Dream Spirit Realm that it suppresses."

The woman smiled gently, and as she turned around, she transformed into thousands of silver rays of light, which coalesced into a guiding gate.

Her voice seemed to come from the other side of a dream:

"Young Master... what you will be walking next is the path of the [Dream Realm Rift Source]... where the true essence of the dream core is sealed, and it is also the fundamental logic of the existence of the Illusory Dream Spirit Realm."

"If you can break through the Dream Core... the Sword of Dream Silence will truly belong to you."

Qin Yu's eyes sharpened, he sheathed his longsword, and slowly stepped into the gate of light.

Deep within the dream realm, the unknown lies sealed, waiting to be shattered.

As Qin Yu stepped into the guiding gate constructed of countless silver rays, the world around him suddenly transformed.

The once real mountains, forests, sky, and starlight all vanished.

In its place lies a completely unbalanced dream world.

Without up or down, without left or right, countless fragments of dreams float like streams of light in the void. Each fragment of memory is a possible logic of "never existing, yet truly happening"—for example, some are immortal, yet were never born; some Spirit Transformation or emperors, yet die in the womb. This is—

The Dream Realm Rift Source.

The deepest part of the Illusory Dream Spirit Realm, a place that no one should have set foot in, is the source of the True Soul construction logic remaining in the "Annihilation of Dreams" era, and the original place of cause and effect abandoned by all dream creators.

At this moment, after Qin Yu stepped in, the Sword of Dream Silence vibrated incessantly behind him, as if it was automatically reading the surrounding shattered dreams and analyzing the Ultimate cause and effect mission buried within itself.

At this moment, an icy cold female voice slowly echoed from the depths of the dream:

"Dream Chaser... you've finally arrived."

Qin Yu remained expressionless and looked ahead.

A female phantom stood in the center of the shattered dream torrent, her clothes billowing like waves in the stillness of the wind. She wore a crown with star rings on her head, and behind her was a map of the entire collapsed dream realm, as if she were the master of this dream and the eye of this world.

Her name is -- Annihilating Dream Spirit Lord.

The supreme will sealed within the Dream Realm Rift Source, the true master of the Illusory Dream Spirit Realm, and the first wielder of the Sword of Dream Silence.

Her gaze was fixed on Qin Yu, her tone carrying a hint of probing after a long period of slumber:

"You come wielding your sword; are you willing to undertake the final mission of 'The Record of Annihilated Dreams'? The Sword of Dream Silence's is not for slaying enemies... but for—ending countless illusory dreams, restoring the world to its sole logic."

"If you approve of this sword... then answer my three questions."

Qin Yu's gaze was as indifferent as a star, and he responded in a deep voice:

"Explain."

The Annihilating Dream Spirit Lord extended her pale fingertip, and a wisp of soul light flowed, transforming into three inquiries that encircled the origin of the Dream Realm:

Question 1:

If all dreams in the world were true, which dream would you choose to sever?

Qin Yu: "Sever my own delusional dreams."

Second question:

"If your sword strikes and millions in reality die with their dreams shattered, would you still draw your sword?"

Qin Yu: "If the dream entrusted to us by millions has endangered the reality of all realms, then drawing the sword is to protect that reality."

Third question:

"If you become the only one who remains conscious, standing alone between dream and reality, with no one to accompany you... would you still be willing to wield your sword and move forward?"

Qin Yu: "The dream world may be lonely, but reality cannot be destroyed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sword of Dream Silence emitted a deep, resonant sound, as if it had completely completed the final layer of "binding the sword wielder's logic."

The Annihilating Dream Spirit Lord's eyes trembled slightly, and he smiled softly.

"Very good... you deserve it."

She slowly extended her hands, injecting a "Silent Dream Seal Ring," formed from fragments of the core structure of dreams, into the Sword of Dream Silence. In an instant—

The entire dream world collapsed!!

Fragments of dreams swirled back like an inverted galaxy, and the Sword of Dream Silence was unsheathed from within, a beam of aurora cleaving through the chaos, annihilating all uncertain illusions.

Qin Yu stood at the center of the collapsed dream source, his clothes unmoved, and where his sword pointed, only the truth of reality remained.

The Annihilating Dream Spirit Lord transformed into a golden dream butterfly, slowly dissipating in the light, leaving behind a whisper:

"Qin Yu, from now on, the only one who will fight for their dream... is you."

The Dream Realm Rift Source has finally been broken.

The Sword of Dream Silence has completely returned to its master!
