The Ice-Clear Heavenly Heart Realm, Void Evolution Finally Attained

After a long period of silence following the storm, the Nebula Gate suddenly trembled slightly, as if touched by some ancient and Nameless authority. Starlight spread outward from the center like a tide, as if millions of light veins emerged from the depths of time.

The next instant—the sea of nebulae suddenly lit up.

The light, imbued with divine patterns of gold and azure, spread outwards in concentric circles, forming an extremely magnificent cosmic echo.

At the heart of this tremor, lines of ancient poetry, formed spontaneously from starlight, slowly emerged.

Those phrases are not words, but "shapes of light," each word composed of billions of stars, reflected layer upon layer on the starry scroll inside the gate.

Qin Yu, Extinguished Light, Azure Ring, and Ling Liangyan all looked up at the same time.

The first line of ancient starlight poetry on the Nebula Gate slowly lit up. "A single thought severs all phenomena; the celestial wheel begins its ascent, traversing solitude."

Then, the second line of light patterns appeared. "All radiance Return to One realm of one mind, all stars cross over to unite into one path."

When the stars twinkle, it's as if billions of universes are reciting simultaneously, silent yet resonating deep within the soul.

Azure Ring, resting her chin on her hand, said, "Little Qinzi, the Nebula Gate is talking. Do they want us... to enter separately?"

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he lightly traced the star-shaped runes with his fingertips, clearly understanding their meaning.

He spoke in a deep voice, "Elder Ling, the Nebula Gate opens in two phases—the first phase is for individuals to enter alone; each person will be taken to their own private space, isolated from others."

The nebula deep within the stargate trembled slightly as he finished speaking, as if responding to his analysis.

Qin Yu continued, "The second time is for multiple people to enter together and travel together in the same realm. After we exit the first level, we will enter the second level together."

Ling Liangyan nodded slightly, her gaze wandering over the gradually opening rift of light in the center of the star vortex. She knew that although she had already Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme, compared to Qin Yu and the other two, when facing the unknown realm... she was actually the one who needed to be more cautious.

She took a deep breath and said softly, "Well then, Young Master Qin... take care. I'll take my leave now."

Azure Ring, saying, "Don't worry, Sister Ling, Little Qinzi won't be eaten by the Nebula Gate."

Extinguished Light didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Ling Liangyan, his pupils flashing with an annihilation starlight like black holes, as if silently watching whether the trajectory of her Fate Soul was stable.

--The light from the Nebula Gate suddenly plummeted down. Boom!

A beam of light, like the Milky Way cascading down, fell from the center of the nebula vortex. As if the Milky Way were falling from the sky, the water-mirror ground formed countless layers of refracted star patterns under the reflection of the giant light, as if the Thousand-Mirror Palace of Reality and Illusion were being lit up together.

At the very center of the pillar of light, a star path appeared, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

Ling Liangyan stepped out, her clothes fluttering, starlight illuminating her cool and aloof face.

The moment she stepped onto that path of stars—the entire nebula began to swirl around her.

A river of light, like long hair, encircled her figure; nebulae pushed aside like a tide; and endless starlight on both sides of the path formed barriers, as if allowing her to pass through a sacred corridor paved by the universe itself.

Her body was swept into the streak of the starlight, her form rising as if embraced by a sea of stars, one step, two steps...

It shattered into a streak of light with a deafening roar. Ling Liangyan was completely swallowed by the Nebula Gate.

The moment the Star Abyss closed, the world returned to stillness, as if nothing had ever happened.

Only Qin Yu, Extinguished Light, Azure Ring remained standing before the sea of light.

Azure Ring gently nudged Qin Yu's arm and chuckled, "Little Qinzi, it's time for us to go too. If we're any later, the Nebula Gate will get impatient."

Extinguished Light stepped forward and stood beside Qin Yu. Her long, black hair flowed like a sea of light under the starlight in the polar night. Her tone was calm but carried a protective intent. "Whatever is inside the gate, the three of us are one. If you leave, Azure Ring and I will naturally follow."

Azure Ring smugly snorted, "Of course, I am Fate Soul. Wherever Little Qinzi goes, I go, and so does Sister Extinguished Light."

Qin Yu took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the Nebula Path, which was gradually narrowing to the width of three people.

The swirling nebula emitted a faint, ancient hum.

As if beckoning, he reached out and gently grasped the light in front of the door.

"Then let's go."

The next instant—the nebula exploded. Boom!!!!

The three figures were simultaneously drawn into the rift in the star sea. The tide of light, like a divine curtain sweeping across all realms, swallowed them up, and their afterimages stretched into thousands of rays of light, gradually being drawn into the deep structure of the star gate.

Only countless stardust remained scattered on the mirror-like sea, as if the three of them had never left any trace there.

The heavens and earth gently folded. Ling Liangyan's figure was lifted up by the soft yet incomparably vast starlight, as if passing through an invisible cosmic water curtain.

When she opened her eyes again, everything before her no longer belonged to the "world in the ordinary sense."

--This is the true Nebula Deep Realm. She stood in the center of a silver-blue rocky valley.

Beneath my feet lies a dazzling stream, like a galaxy frozen into ice.

The ice flow is not water, but a slow flow of millions of tiny starlight in liquid form, with each speck of light reflecting the shadow of a miniature universe.

As the light flows, it's as if you can hear the universe whispering softly.

She looked up. The entire sky was filled with a giant, upside-down "Nebula Ice Heart".

That was a beauty that transcended dimensions.

A colossal stellar core, formed from trillions of frozen stars, hangs upside down in the sky.

Its surface is an endless blue crystal wall, while the golden patterns inside shimmer slowly like the bloodline of the Dao.

Each flash made the entire sky undulate like ocean waves.

Around the Nebula Ice Heart, stardust fell slowly like fragments of a star, leaving golden-blue trails in the air.

They trace faint curves within an area the size of a palm, as if the universe is gently depicting itself.

The world was utterly still. So still that it seemed time itself had chosen to stand still.

As Ling Liangyan gazed at the inverted Nebula Heart, an indescribable emotion welled up within her for the first time.

It wasn't fear, it wasn't awe, but rather that kind of...

A strange vibration, as if "heaven and earth were created for me."

She slowly reached out her hand.

A speck of starlight landed on her fingertip, its warmth gentle yet carrying an incomprehensible depth.

She said softly, "... This is the world after Nebula Gate?"

The wind silently passed through her hair, carrying a faint, shimmering starlight.

The luminous particles seemed to sense her presence, swirling, gathering, and humming around her, as if some ancient will was observing her.

There were no trial formations, no oppressive rules, and no forces of obstruction.

The whole world... seemed to be welcoming her. Suddenly—

A faint yet Ultimate beautiful golden ripple appeared deep within the Nebula Ice Heart.

It wasn't an attack, but rather a kind of "response".

Ripples spread outwards, illuminating the entire sky, brightening glaciers, mountains, and valleys, making every inch of space sacred and inviolable.

Ling Liangyan was stunned for a moment, her heart trembling slightly.

But he simply took a light breath and quietly observed everything before him.

Her intuition told her: This is not a test.

This is an "extremely precious gift, a cosmic prelude to what is about to arrive."

The starlight grew ever brighter, and the sky ever deeper.

She seemed to stand on the eve of the birth of a myth.

She murmured to herself, "Young Master Young Master Qin... Miss Extinguished Light... Miss Azure Ring... It seems I won't leave empty-handed this time."

She looked up at the nebula's giant heart, which was gradually brightening.

There, in the next moment, a tremendous opportunity will be bestowed upon her.

The Nebula Deep Realm were utterly silent. The "Nebula Ice Heart," hanging upside down in the sky, suddenly seemed to be "awakened" by some invisible rule.

A faint, interwoven gold and blue light flickered deep within. The next moment—

BOOM!!!

There was no sound, yet it was as if the entire universe was collapsing inward and then being reignited from a single point.

The sky exploded, unleashing a cascade of stars powerful enough to engulf countless worlds.

Inside the Nebula Ice Heart, billions of starlight suddenly flowed backward, as if the Milky Way were hanging upside down, stars were falling, and the universe was overturned and reshaped before Ling Liangyan.

The light and color of the world vanished in an instant.

Only "empty" remains.

An "absolute emptiness" that transcends heaven and earth, transcends Annihilation Dawn, and transcends cognition.

For a moment, even Ling Liangyan herself thought the world had disappeared.

However, it is precisely in this complete "emptiness"—

Something slowly appeared. No, it was—

"Suddenly, there was a different 'feeling' in the air, like something breathing softly."

A faint outline, almost Does Not Exist, trembled gently in the depths of the void.

It was as if it didn't appear, but rather was gently pulled out from the "unthinkable".

It is colorless, formless, shadowless, and intangible.

However, no matter whether Ling Liangyan closed her eyes, turned around, or even held her breath, the wheel seemed to be watching her.

--Perhaps it wasn't that it was looking at her, but rather that even the concepts of "looking" and "not looking" themselves were shattered into nothingness by it.

The heavens and earth began to tremble. No, it was the laws of nature that trembled.

All concepts that the Annihilation Dawn Realm can reach--

Annihilation, severance of cause, severance of effect, Nameless, Consciousnessless...

At that moment, they all turned into a wisp of dust, automatically retreating from Ling Liangyan's sea of consciousness.

The heavens Nebula Deep Realm.

The illusory wheel spun gently—once.

Boom--------!!!!!

The entire inverted nebula exploded into billions of starlight, like the universe dying and being reborn in splendor;

Thunderous light swept across all realms, each ray seemingly rewriting the world's original design.

In that dramatic reshaping—the Wheel-less remained serene.

Its appearance caused all the starlight in the Nebula Deep Realm to...

They all knelt before Ling Liangyan. Streams of light converged from all directions, enveloping her.

The mountains trembled but did not fall. Starlight flowed but did not dissipate. Space distorted but did not break.

It was as if the entire world was working for only one purpose at this moment.

The treasure of this region was handed over. The Void Wheel turned slightly for the second time.

Reality is torn apart—but nothing is broken.

The tearing is a tearing of the concept itself, not of space or time.

Ling Liangyan saw: her fingers stretched out in the starlight.

The virtual wheel trembled slightly. The next instant...

Her hand had already grasped the "empty" wheel.

It has no weight. No tactile sensation. No physical form.

But she knew clearly—she had grasped the "Beginningless Evolving Void Wheel".

At that moment, a faint, extremely faint ring of light erupted from the void...

A halo so faint that even nebulae cannot reflect it.

But the whole world fell completely "quiet" because of this faint light.

The nebula stopped. The waterfall of light froze.

The inverted sky once again ignited with golden and blue patterns.

The heavens and earth seemed to be waiting for her next breath.

Ling Liangyan was stunned. "This... is... the treasure bestowed upon me?"

A soft hum, a coexistence of annihilation and rebirth, emanated from the wheel.

It was silent. But the invisible tremor was like a gentle touch on her soul.

The next instant, a beam of extremely holy light suddenly burst forth from the Nebula Deep Realm, lifting her up.

The beam of light pierced through the inverted nebula and also through the starlight river and sea at the bottom of the world.

Ling Liangyan whispered in the light:

"--So... beyond the Annihilation Dawn Realm lies not just Annihilation, but... the Void Evolution Embryonic Form."

The beam of light slowly faded, and she landed back on the Starlight Glacier.

And that seemingly Does Not Exist "Beginningless Evolving Void Wheel"

It has turned into a faint ring mark, permanently imprinted on her palm.

When it is not visible, her hand is simply Emptiness.

But once her thoughts took hold—

Wheel marks will then gently appear, and even heaven and earth will fall silent.

She let out a soft breath, her gaze fixed on the edge of the Nebula Deep Realm:

"Young Master Qin... such an opportunity, if not for coming with you, I would never have encountered it in my entire life."

She clenched her fist. The wheel marks glowed faintly.

--The Flow of Void Emanation gently overflowed from her body.

The Nebula Deep Realm were so serene they were almost sacred.

Ling Liangyan had just grasped the [Beginningless Evolving Void Wheel] in her palm, and the radiance of the surrounding inverted nebula had not yet completely dissipated, in the next instant—

The world suddenly seemed to have been "paused" by some ancient being.

The light stopped. The wind stopped.

Even the beating of her heart seemed to be deliberately slowed down.

In this still universe... the void suddenly—

It breathed. Not the movement of air, not the awakening of laws.

Rather, it is "nothingness" itself that breathes.

Breathe--

With each breath, extremely faint, transparent ripples, invisible to the naked eye, spread across the depths of the sky.

The ripples seemed to emanate from the other side of the world, carrying with them the power to "forget you."

At the very center of the infinite transparent ripples—

A completely transparent, Wuhen, and undetectable "movement" slowly took shape.

It doesn't resemble a treasure, an object, a magic weapon, or a seal.

It looked like the outline of a sigh someone had inadvertently let out.

But that sigh resonated throughout all the stars of the Nebula Gate.

All went out. Boom!

The Nebula Deep Realm was plunged into absolute darkness.

The next second, a faint, delicate, and almost imperceptible glimmer of cold light ignited in the depths of darkness—

Like "forgotten thoughts" attempting to rekindle the world.

That cold light transformed into a seal.

A seal the size of a palm, as thin as air, and so transparent that it cannot even reflect light...

It slowly fell, landing on Ling Liangyan.

There is no wind. There is no propulsion. There is no gravity.

It was like, "It was already in her palm, but now she's noticed it."

She reached out her hand—but the next second—

Her hand... disappeared.

It wasn't a hallucination; it was a complete disappearance.

Her hands, her breath, her presence, her name...

Everything was erased by the aura of "Selfless Emanation Seal".

In the instant she disappeared, she heard her own voice:

"If I never existed, then who is speaking now?"

She froze. But that sentence—

She didn't say it.

Yet it is also her "self that Does Not Exist".

These words were spoken to "a self that still Does Not Exist."

In an instant—the world exploded!!!

Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme → Void Emanation Realm · Initial Stage

The Selfless Emanation Seal was gently placed between her eyebrows. Buzz

The Nebula Deep Realm shattered into billions of fragments.

It's as if her "sequence of existence" has been broken down into countless segments, countless memories, and countless versions that may have existed or never existed.

The fragments spun and coalesced silently.

Each time they gather, Ling Liangyan's figure will appear in a different form.

Sometimes she is a little girl. Sometimes she is an elder. Sometimes she is a stranger. Sometimes... Does Not Exist at all.

She flickered continuously between annihilation and reappearance--

With a final flash, the world lit up again. Void Emanation Realm, Initial Stage.

Void Emanation Realm · Initial Stage → Intermediate stage Selfless Emanation Seal - Second Regret**

A thin crack suddenly appeared on the transparent printing surface.

Emerging from the cracks—an indescribable, Flow of Void Emanation.

The Flow of Void Emanation surged into Ling Liangyan's sea of consciousness.

Her soul was instantly pulled into an "abyss of neither existence nor non-existence".

She saw--

My own past...

My own future...

One's own possibility...

My own impossibility...

It was all disassembled into transparent fragments of light.

These fragments of light were reassembled, disassembled, and reassembled...

With each reorganization, her level of understanding...

They're all jumping. Beginner level... Stable.

The next breath -- Intermediate level.

The celestial nebula collapsed and reshaped once more.

Void Emanation Realm · Middle Stage → High-stage, Resonance of the Beginningless Evolving Void Wheel

The [Beginningless Evolving Void Wheel] in her palm suddenly appeared automatically.

Buzz----!

When she, at the Void Emanation Realm · Middle Stage, resonated with the "Beginningless Evolving Void Wheel"—

Silent aurora bursts from the rim of the wheel.

The aurora is like the world playing in reverse, or like all existence being labeled "nothingness" and re-examined.

Ling Liangyan stood in the center of the aurora.

Her soul was extracted again.

Transformed into countless threads, drifting away into nothingness...

The next instant—everything returned to its place. High-level Void Emanation Realm.

Void Emanation Realm · High Stage → Ultimate

The Selfless Emanation Seal - Final Destruction**

The "Selfless Emanation Seal" disintegrated on its own in her palm.

No sound, no fragments.

Even the fact that "the seal once existed" was deleted.

But with the disappearance of the seal—

The world around Ling Liangyan suddenly "turned upside down".

The heavens and earth were upside down. Nebulae spun into enormous, Void Evolution vortexes.

All the rules of the Annihilation Dawn Realm collapsed.

All possibilities of the Void Emanation Realm arise.

The Flow of Void Emanation cascaded over her like a waterfall.

She was completely drawn into the heart of the "world rewriting".

Boom--------!!!

A silver light pierced through all realms in an instant, illuminating the heavens and earth!

The light dissipates. The world returns to silence.

Ling Liangyan stood amidst the swirling clouds.

The stars flowed backward behind me; nothingness stretched beneath my feet.

Her shadow was divided into three, but none of them were hers.

The Ultimate Void Emanation Realm.

The only step away from Supreme is "denying oneself one last time."

Ling Liangyan sighed softly, raising her hand, the Beginningless Evolving Void Wheel faintly appearing in her palm.

"So this is what the Void Emanation Realm is like...?"

The Nebula Deep Realm silently bowed to her.

It was as if she had acknowledged a fact—she was no longer the Ling Liangyan of the past.

Instead, it was the "Flow of Void Emanation" that created a new her.
