The Realm God's Daughter · An Oath to the Sealed Wings

The Star Gate rippled like waves. The moment Qin Yu's fingers touched it, the vortex-like light suddenly transformed into a torrent of billions of starlight, instantly engulfing him into the depths of the void.

Time seemed to break free from constancy at this moment, and the boundaries of space were utterly shattered. As if traversing billions of galaxies from silence, crossing the limits of his soul, his figure suddenly paused, and the next instant, he was already standing in another dimension.

It was a miraculous space that could not be explained by common sense.

Above, a sea of stars stretched as if the entire cosmic dome had been tilted over, each star no longer distant but almost within reach, slowly rotating, whispering, and burning, constructing an eternal order that transcended dreams. The void shimmered with spiritual light, like wisps of silver flowing around, and every inch of air resonated with the "primordial rhythm" from before the formation of the Heavenly Dao.

In the Stainless and tranquil depths of the universe, Qin Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened—

It was the image of a holy spirit formed from crystalline light.

She descended from the heavens like a dream woven from shooting stars, standing silently within a "Silent Realm Light Egg" suspended in the void. The light egg was translucent, condensed from the radiance of billions of stars, reflecting ancient laws and the remnants of divine light. The woman's figure resembled the primordial light spirit before the birth of the universe, clad in a crystal feather holy robe, the thin gauze cascading down like a waterfall of light, reflecting the starlight like glass; her six wings unfolded behind her, refracting the light like glass, each wing concealing spatial cracks and annihilated stardust.

Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she were asleep, her face serene as the moon without a speck of dust, and a pale blue star mark flowed across her forehead, like the source of a divine seal. A layer of silent light bubbles, similar to the sea of divine consciousness, floated around her, seemingly isolating her from this world on a different logical level.

She is both "existence" and "entity" --

It's more like an embodiment of a concept.

An entity that has yet to be named, yet already dominates the laws of this world.

Standing at the edge of this Silent Realm, Qin Yu gazed at this incredible scene, and a remarkably clear perception arose within him:

This being is neither human, nor god, nor soul.

Her true nature is most likely that of the original recorder of "Annihilation Origin Dream Consciousness".

Or perhaps—a "reflection" of the true source anchor of the Sword of Dream Silence!

The void trembled slightly. She seemed to sense Qin Yu's arrival; her dormant pupils slowly opened, and a gaze shimmering with starlight quietly entered the depths of Qin Yu's soul...

Qin Yu before the Starlight Bubble Realm, gazing at the mysterious woman imprisoned within the light egg. Although her eyes were open, they showed no reaction, neither hostility nor joy or sorrow. She was like a still-awakening god in a desolate star field, quietly suspended within that ethereal, flowing shell of light.

"Is she... asleep? Or sealed away? And who could possibly trap an existence of this level within her?" Qin Yu frowned slightly, muttering to himself as he quietly released his divine sense, but failed to penetrate the crystalline eggshell.

This light shell is not an ordinary law seal, nor is it a confinement of the soul consciousness domain. Rather, it is a "dream world logic blockade" that transcends his current understanding—not a material confinement, but a "definition of existence" that locks him within the boundaries of dream consciousness, stripping him of even the world's response to his perception.

"A seal of this level requires at least Only Book Realm · Peak or higher... even higher." Qin Yu murmured, the faint light of the [Fate Cause Master Seal] surging at his fingertips, but he did not act rashly.

But the next moment, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Behind the crystalline shell, a hidden "entrance," almost perfectly aligned with space, slowly emerged—its shape resembling the twisted arc of a broken star core, with dreamlike starlight cracks flowing along its edges, like a "gateway to the true world" concealed beneath the folds of the universe.

The entrance to the cave was small and hidden in a spatial distortion; if Qin Yu's soul sense hadn't been sharp enough, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

"There's more depth?" he murmured, his gaze slightly darkening, but his steps were unwavering as he stepped forward.

He bypassed the imprisoned woman and headed towards the astral rift.

Starlight surged like a tide, space layered and churning. The moment you stepped into the rift, the entire world suddenly transformed—

The surrounding starlight transformed into a deep blue cascade of mist, and his soul seemed to be drawn into some kind of unstable "dream realm fold." Before him lay a staircase leading to an unknown abyss, engraved with ancient inscriptions. The script was not the familiar Language of the Epoch, yet a vague image naturally surfaced in his sea of consciousness:

"Dream Cause Return Realm."

At the end of the stairs, a faint glimmer of light flickered.

Qin Yu did not stop.

Step by step, we ventured deeper into the unknown dream world.

As the dim light gradually sank in, Qin Yu stepped into a deeper dreamlike space beyond the star gate.

There was no wind or sound here, but every step he took felt like stepping into the "logical skeleton" of the universe. The surrounding space vibrated and hummed like the veins of the eternal world, as if this world itself was communicating with him in some silent way.

Suddenly, a milky white ray of light descended from the dome, like a celestial river flowing from the other side of an endless sea of stars, its rhythmic flow piercing through space, illuminating a secluded ancient forest surrounded by flowering trees and shrouded in mist.

In the radiant light of that day, a divine bird, its body as white as snow crystals, stood out prominently.

It was neither an eagle nor a crane, but its body resembled a dragon's head and phoenix feathers. When its wings were spread, they revealed crystalline edges that reflected the brilliance of all things in the universe, as if it were a bird of law formed from the logic of the heavens. It stood quietly on a layer of "primordial spring" that seemed to be formed from the crystallization of the boundary core. What flowed in its eyes was not emotion, but the pulse of structure, rules, and the world.

Before this divine bird, a magnificent ancient scroll lay quietly unfurled, resting on the water mirror.

It was not a paper book, but rather a "logical book" woven from countless original texts of the construct world. On each page, billions of complex clues emerged, as if they were the initial cross-sections of countless cosmic structures—planetary orbits, spacetime spirals, dimensional collapse models, and coordinate systems of all worlds—all condensed within these pages.

The surrounding vegetation was all derived from the causal relationship of the celestial realm. Petals floated in the air, like fragments of crystallized logic drifting about. The aura did not appear malevolent, but rather resembled a realm where all paths slumbered—any thought that was not in accordance with the "rules" would be rejected, shattered, and annihilated by this place.

"This is..."

Qin Yu stopped in his tracks. In the instant his divine sense surged, the "Logic Anchored Consciousness" from the [Silent Beginning - Ring Master Soul Diagram] resonated slightly.

"... a complete 'world-constructing core'... it's not even a cultivation ground, but a 'cosmic framework construction point'."

The divine bird slowly lowered its head, and a ring of transparent star-like runes appeared in its eyes—it remained silent and still, yet it seemed to have already made its intentions clear.

That book is the Book of the Dao Core.

Those who read this will glimpse the true meaning of "logic as the way"—how to build a complete universe "possessing time, space, matter, consciousness, cause and effect, and destiny" with one's own strength!

It does not teach cultivation or impart magical arts; it only grants one ability—"to construct boundaries as the Way, and logic as the boundary."

The next moment, the Source-Extinguishing Divine Sword trembled slightly behind Qin Yu, as if it had sensed some extremely high-level "world-structure authority".

Meanwhile, his Innate Martial Soul, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram, was no longer under Qin Yu's control. It appeared on its own, hovering behind him and slowly rotating.

On the Soul Diagram, the engravings regenerated, and a new "Destiny Ring" was spontaneously emerging.

If Qin Yu could truly grasp the logic within this book, he might not only be able to create combat techniques and understand the origins of enemy techniques, but also take a real step forward—"constructing a world."

At this moment, a white light dissipated between the wings of the divine bird, as if the feather light folded out to form a shadowy body. The divine bird, which was as white as snow crystals, suddenly lowered its head, let out a soft cry, and its body gradually disintegrated into spiritual flames and starlight, and then condensed into a human form in front of the Book of Realm Construction.

In an instant, an old man wearing a robe with feather patterns appeared before Qin Yu.

His figure was hunched, and his steps were slow, yet he possessed an invisible pressure like the ruler of a realm, as if all the rules governing the world had fallen silent in his presence. His face was thin yet ancient and weathered, with long eyebrows that seemed to traverse galaxies and droop down to his cheeks. Between his brows was an incised azure ring, with countless structural cracks carved within it, resembling the remnant core of a shattered universe.

He opened his eyes—his pupils were white without any pupils, containing a dark light. At a glance, it seemed as if he could see through Qin Yu's destiny in an instant, but then he suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing.

"Your fate... is unfathomable."

His voice was deep, like an echo from the end of the world, and a hint of confusion and shock flickered deep in his eyes, "Behind you... there is only— Does Not Exist."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding space trembled slightly, and the floating Book of Realm Construction suddenly shook as if responding to the "unobservable" destiny.

Qin Yu was greatly shocked, realizing that this old man was extraordinary, and hurriedly bowed in respect:

"May I ask who this esteemed master is?"

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the dome of the enclosed space in the distance, his voice deep and resonant:

"I am—the guardian of the Fate-Attached Annihilation Construction Realm."

"As you have already seen, my master's sealing crystal core is sealed within the outer ring of this realm."

He slowly raised his hand and pointed outwards, to the place where the woman with feathered light that Qin Yu had seen earlier was located.

"She... is the true ruler of this world."

"Millions of years ago, she was sealed by a Nameless being from the ancient depths. The rules of the seal were constructed outside of destiny, and there was almost no power in the world to break it. My master did not want her to suffer the calamities of the mortal world, so he ordered me to hide the 'Book of Realm Construction' here. Only those who truly possess the soul of 'Constructing Realms as the Dao' have a sliver of hope."

Qin Yu was shaken to his core. He never imagined that the woman sealed by the crystal core was the original owner of this entire "Realm-Construction Logic Domain"! And this divine book before him was the only hope she had left behind.

"This... is the Book of Realm Construction..."

Qin Yu murmured to himself. His Innate Martial Soul, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram, reappeared behind him, and a semi-transparent boundary shadow floated behind him—a natural reflection of the "Realm Master Anchor Point".

The old man's gaze sharpened slightly as he watched this scene, but he quickly shook his head and sighed.

"Your current cultivation level is still too low, far too low."

"Although you have touched upon the principles of Annihilation Origin, the logic you have constructed is still in its infancy. It is far from enough to shake the sealing crystal of my lord and deconstruct its external chains of destiny."

Qin Yu cupped his hands and said solemnly:

"Senior, may I ask who your master is? Could you please tell me his name?"

The old man's face showed neither joy nor sorrow; he simply said:

"... When you have enough power to truly break the seal of my Lord, you will know."

"Now--"

You should go back first.

After he finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly began to distort slightly, and a gradually appearing "Star Gate Turning Path" emerged beside Qin Yu, which was the way back.

The Book of Realm Construction quietly closes, revealing the reappearance of divine birds.

Azure Ring appeared at this moment, her figure slowly emerging from Qin Yu's body, like a blue light tearing through the silent dimension and falling on the space above the boundary. The floating divine light resembled the wandering boundary data, deep and clear.

She glanced at the woman in the ice crystal cage, then snorted softly:

"I think I know who she is."

"If I'm not mistaken, that woman... is the bloodline inheritor of the [Master of Realm Construction - Realm God] from billions of years ago."

Qin Yu's brow twitched, and he whispered, "Realm God...?"

Azure Ring's voice became exceptionally clear and deep at this moment, and an unprecedented solemnity appeared in her eyes:

You still don't know the final chapter of that war.

"That was the last time the Master of Realm Construction intervened in the 'logical order.' On the day the era ruptured, to resist the invasion of an unknown entity, he personally dismantled his own logic and sealed it within eight structural cores. His daughter—the one before us—should have escaped here to continue some kind of 'world order.'"

She paused, gazing at the silent, sleeping figure within the crystal cage.

"But... unexpectedly, she was still discovered by 'that kind of creature'."

"The ability to achieve such a logical seal is likely a forbidden technique left behind by the ancient [Dark Annihilation Origin] lineage."

After Azure Ring finished speaking, a faint "Annihilation Mark" appeared behind her. The light flowed in the void, creating several dimensional light marks that reflected the original text of the sealed woman's body. It was extremely complex and obscure, and obviously could not be analyzed by conventional numerology.

"Let's go, Little Qinzi."

She gently patted Qin Yu's shoulder, her tone carrying a smile, yet tinged with an unprecedented seriousness:

"Just as the old man said, with our current level of logic, we simply cannot shake the sealing logic within her. It's not an ordinary 'technique barrier,' but a complete sealing framework of 'undefined layers.'"

"If we act rashly, not only will we fail to save her, but we might also trigger the collapse of the entire [Realm-Construction Origin Core]'s logic."

Qin Yu stood before the Feather Crystal Cage, motionless for a long time, gazing at the woman's folded wings and Ji Ran spirit, a thought that was hard to describe flashing in his eyes.

Then, there was a long silence.

He took a deep breath and solemnly bowed towards the place where the woman was.

His posture was as upright as a pine tree, yet when he bowed, it was as if he had submerged all his thoughts in the sea of consciousness, and murmured softly:

"Junior Qin Yu, I swear this oath today."

"One day, this seal will be broken, and I will help you escape this predicament."

"No matter who you are."

As she finished speaking, Azure Ring smiled slightly, and the serene blue spiritual light transformed into swirling ripples, returning to Qin Yu's body.

The Star Gate rift quietly opened behind him, transforming into a slowly surging stream of the Silent Realm light. Qin Yu turned around and stepped into it. The surrounding space twisted and folded, the Book of Realm Construction closed again, and the sealed domain once more sank into ancient stillness.
