The Source Serpent's Gift: The True One Definition Register
The world after Qin Yu stepped into the Nebula Gate--
In that instant, the entire universe seemed to have shifted to a different dimension for him.
The cliff platform beneath our feet resembles a circular platform left behind by some ancient ritual, with faint golden patterns flowing as if it were breathing. Beyond the platform lies an endless abyss of utter blue, where churning mists resemble the aftershocks of a time fracture gently lapping against the Emptiness walls.
The moment he looked up—the sky suddenly opened an "eye".
That's not an eye. But it's more like an eye than an eye—a giant, azure pupil that covers billions of stars.
Its iris is composed of countless broken stars, each bearing tiny golden runes, slowly floating in the sea of annihilating blue light; and deep within its pupil is a hole that cannot even be described as "black," Beginningless Endless, without bottom or edge, as if swallowing "existence" itself.
Qin Yu stared at it for only half a breath, and the entire sky seemed to be pulled down rapidly.
Boom------!!!
The sky is no longer the sky.
Instead, it is the eye of a giant serpent in the starry sea that is gradually "enlarging".
The eyes were originally on the snake's head, but they were too huge and too ancient.
So vast that the entire sky could only contain "a corner of its pupil".
A blue wind, carrying countless shards of ice-like light, burst forth from the edge of the giant pupil, illuminating the entire desolate blue rift valley.
The mountain range beneath Qin Yu's feet seemed like meaningless dust set up under the gaze of a colossal beast.
Azure Ring couldn't help but whisper:
"Holy crap, Little Qinzi, this thing... is ten times more terrifying than the Annihilation Devil Pupil..."
Extinguished Light looked up, his golden-black eyes revealing a deep solemnity for the first time:
It is not a living thing...
Rather, it is a remnant of 'ancient cosmic memory'.
The next second.
The giant serpent's true form slowly rose from the abyss.
--The roar is not a sound, but a vibration of space itself.
The cliff beneath Qin Yu's feet trembled. The sea of stars seemed to be rolling backward.
Time seemed to be shrinking.
The first part of the body appeared.
As if woven from obliterated blue stardust, ancient gold patterns, and billions of points of light, each of its scales is like a fragment of the universe embedded in a vast stream of light; ancient circular arrays, annihilation inscriptions, and unspeakable symbols appear on the scales, like the secret language between stars.
The second body segment appeared.
Like an endless galaxy hanging upside down in the sky, it meanders from one end of Qin Yu's vision to the other, its body coiled into some incomprehensible topological shape.
It resembles a "time loop," a "nested logic," and even more like two impossible structures forcibly superimposed.
Third paragraph... Fourth paragraph... Fifth paragraph...
Until Qin Yu realized—this giant snake didn't have a "tail" at all.
It appears to be a "loop Beginningless Endless".
It also resembles an "infinitely extending straight line".
It's more like an "endless entity formed by the self-derived nature of an incomplete narrative."
Extinguished Light took a soft breath, her voice never sounding so solemn:
"... Little Qinzi, this is not a giant beast."
This is a conceptual remnant left behind by the 'Primordial Annihilation Void'.
Qin Yu nodded slightly. "I know."
Because at the very moment he gazed at the giant serpent—
His Book of Fate Law - The Realm Severing Origin Brush trembled slightly in his sea of consciousness, as if he had seen something "more ancient than the Book of Fate Laws".
The giant serpent lowered its head, and the entire sky darkened by half an inch.
When His vast, ocean-like golden eyes fell upon Qin Yu—
Qin Yu could even hear the space around him being compressed and shattered like glass.
It was not an attack. It was not a threat. It was not a test.
Rather, it is one being observing another.
He looked down at Qin Yu. Qin Yu stood on the cliff and looked up at Him.
The two are separated by what seems like an ancient cosmic slumber spanning billions of years.
It felt like our first meeting.
Azure Ring whispered, "Little Qinzi..."
This place... will definitely bring us a great fortune...
Extinguished Light's gaze deepened. "Moreover, it's a destiny that can allow you to surpass the 'Severed Observation'."
Qin Yu simply watched as the colossal serpent slowly coiled, rose, and then bowed its head again, meeting his gaze in an indescribably ancient way.
He seemed to be waiting, as if confirming something.
It was as if they were "examining" some kind of essence of Qin Yu that no one could understand.
Until the very end--
A beam of azure-gold light shone deep within the giant serpent's eyes.
That light was extremely deep, extremely stable, and extremely ancient...
It's as if the "first proposition of the ancient universe" is awakening.
Qin Yu thought to himself, "I see..."
This is the true gift that Nebula Gate prepared for me.
The Star Abyss Rift Valley was silent, save for the colossal blue serpent that stretched across the entire sky, slowly gazing down.
Just as Azure Ring and Extinguished Light held their breath—the universe... spoke.
It's not the sound, but the primordial resonance that even ripples through "time and narrative."
The giant serpent's golden-blue pupils contracted slightly, and from the vast, deep sea of its eyes, which resembled several stacked galaxies, an ancient and indescribable light and will slowly emerged.
The next moment, its will pierced through the void and shook into Qin Yu's sea of consciousness. "I am the Primordial Source Serpent..."
Born before all things were separated, before light, before darkness,
Before cause and effect, before narrative.
From the very first wisp of existence that rose from the void...
I will dwell here—waiting for those who can hear my breath.
Countless epochs. Countless extinctions.
Countless civilizations turned to dust, countless Realm Sea collapsed.
I haven't moved an inch, all for one thing—waiting for... you.
The heavens and earth roared, the stars stood still, and at that moment the whole world seemed to bow to Qin Yu.
Azure Ring leaned on Qin Yu's shoulder, Extinguished Light nodded slightly.
They knew that this being had transcended all meaning of life; it was a pure "original will remnant from the ancient universe."
Qin Yu raised his head, bowed deeply, and spoke with unprecedented respect, "Senior, you have lived for billions of years and measured every year in dust..."
Qin Yu dares not tarnish this connection that has earned your summons.
It is Qin Yu's good fortune and destiny to meet you today, senior.
The giant serpent slowly lowered its endless head, a hidden light flashing at the bottom of its enormous pupils, its voice like the rebirth of the ancient universe:
Answer me. Since you are one of us,
Then you are qualified to make a wish in this world. I can grant your wish--
Any request. Any level, any concept, anything impossible.
As soon as the words fell, the azure sky instantly exploded into countless silent vortexes of light.
It's as if they're waiting for Qin Yu to give an answer that will change the fate of many.
Azure Ring was stunned and speechless. "Little Qinzi, this... this is true unconditional fulfillment! It gives you whatever you want... this is too incredible!"
Extinguished Light raised his eyes and said softly, "Choose with caution... This is no ordinary gift; it is a direct bestowal of the 'Cosmic Origin'."
But Qin Yu didn't hesitate. Because he already knew—
There is only one thing that he needs for his next breakthrough.
He looked up at the giant serpent's azure eyes and said in a deep voice, "This junior desires— Void Ash Dust."
A fleeting hint of surprise flashed deep within the giant serpent's enormous eyes...
Then came a gentle warmth, like the smile of billions of stars.
"Void Ash Dust... So you have already seen through the barrier beyond the Severed Observation."
It slowly raised its endless body, its star-like scales shimmering with ancient annihilation patterns.
He turned once in the heavens. Just once.
The entire world... then a deep void of "nothingness" appeared.
That deep cave had no light, no shadow, no color, and no form.
It's like an absolute emptiness, as if both "existence" and "Does Not Exist" have been removed.
The next breath--
A speck of dust appeared in front of Qin Yu.
It neither falls, nor hangs, nor shines, nor casts a shadow.
It has no weight, no shape, no fluctuation, and no time.
It left no trace of "Does Not Exist".
Qin Yu could only see the faint, almost Does Not Exist afterimage of the "erased erasure" by relying on the "forgotten will" of the Supreme Severed Observation Realm: Ultimate to look back at a moment in the past.
The giant serpent breathed softly. "Void Ash Dust..."
The sole precursor Supreme the Annihilation Dawn Realm: Ultimate.
Only this dust can allow the Severed Observation to break through its limits and reach the pinnacle of Annihilation Dawn.
Azure Ring was completely dumbfounded. "Little Qinzi... your request... is too crazy...? This is Ultimate treasure that can destroy countless great realms! You... you really asked it for this! Legend has it that the Void Ash Dust is an unparalleled sacred object that allows one to directly leap from the Supreme Realm to the Supreme Realm,"
Extinguished Light glanced sideways and chuckled softly, "Good question, Little Qinzi."
Only you deserve this.
The giant serpent continued, "Take it. Once you refine it—"
The Severed Observation will no longer be the extreme point, but a transition.
The Annihilation Dawn Realm - Supreme will naturally form within you.
Like breathing.
Qin Yu took a deep breath and bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your kindness, senior."
The Void Ash Dust hung silently before him...
Imperceptible, yet more intense in the depths of destiny than any sun.
The giant serpent slowly closed its azure eyes for a moment.
It was as if it were a blessing, or as if it were a witness.
Qin Yu then extended his hand.
Heaven and earth stood still. The Star Abyss was a deathly blue.
The giant serpent silently surveyed the scene. Azure Ring and Extinguished Light held their breath.
Qin Yu reached out and took that tiny particle—invisible, imperceptible, and unrememberable—
"Void Ash Dust" gently entered his palm.
In that instant—the universe stopped.
It's not static, it's stopped because "operation permissions were forcibly deleted".
The texture of time breaks, the lines of narrative crumble, and the meaning of light is stripped away.
The myriad worlds are like a giant sheet of film that has been neatly sliced.
Because the Void Ash Dust are "the forgotten ash of oblivion."
Even the word "gray" is just a slander against it.
It Does Not Exist. Does Not Exist in "Does Not Exist".
It has even negated "negation" itself.
But Qin Yu grasped it. The very instant he "touched" it—
The entire world erupted in an unprecedented and indescribable spectacle.
All the "conceptual disturbances between existence and Does Not Exist" within Qin Yu's body instantly surged:
His shadow was ignited—not by flames, but by [the concept spontaneously combusting].
His consciousness was illuminated—not Spiritual Sense, but [disturbed reflected light].
His breath became an echo—not a sound, but the aftershock of a deleted definition.
Hundreds of millions of "disturbing color bands" around Qin Yu burst into flames, as if the entire universe was being drawn out, ignited, and transformed into a long river of fire.
Azure Ring's voice cracked with shock. "Little... Little Qinzi, you've burned yourself to ashes!! This realm reshaping is even more terrifying than annihilation--!!"
The Extinguished Light flickered and faded, a despair mixed with awe. "This is... Severed Observation complete burning of the entire self-system."
Not a single thought, not a single soul, not a single obsession remains...
Even the word 'burned out' will be erased.
The giant serpent nodded. "This is the only path that Annihilation Dawn must take."
Only those who have thoroughly ravaged the land are worthy to enter the realm of the "unwritten."
Those burning "disturbances" resembled countless blue cosmic flames.
Centered on Qin Yu, it roared into the sky, illuminating the entire abyss.
Phase Two: The Void Ash Dust Enter the Body
Qin Yu raised his palm. That single speck of dust—invisible to the human eye, yet capable of "feeling it erasing its own vision"—
It slowly drifted towards Qin Yu's brow. The moment it approached—
The image went out of focus. Colors faded. The universe then plunged into darkness.
Because the Void Ash Dust entered the body, even "observation" was erased.
Then, a beam of light that could not be described in any language exploded!
It's not white light, not blue light; it's. "The possibility of light that has never existed before."
Countless specks of light swirled around Qin Yu's body, like billions of broken "cosmic laws" being torn out, shattered, and compressed into mist.
Qin Yu's body was torn apart—not his physical body, but his conceptual skeleton.
It completely dismantles all the possibilities of his "I am Qin Yu"!
Azure Ring was so frightened that her eyes flashed with a blue light. "Little Qinzi!!!!"
Extinguished Light reached out, but Void Evolution Yan Hui pushed him away. "Don't touch it!"
This is the 'absolute window of opportunity before the Annihilation Dawn Realm descends'...
Those who touch it will be rewritten along with themselves as 'Does Not Exist wind'!!
Phase 3: Extinction of Residual Disturbance
The Void Ash Dust finally touched Qin Yu's brow. In that instant—
A "Annihilation shockwave" appeared in the universe.
Shock waves are silent, colorless, and patternless.
But everything along the way—the stars, space, cause and effect, timelines, and the memories of bystanders—
They all disappeared completely, as if erased by an eraser.
Qin Yu instantly became: devoid of light, shadow, substance, soul, life, Nameless.
Even the fact that "he is breaking through" itself,
It was deleted more than three times. But the next moment--
A burst of light, like a Big Bang, violently erupted from the "Emptiness center"!
Phase Four: Annihilation Dawn Realm -Supreme
The universe's structure is showing signs of collapse: countless azure cracks are being torn open in the sky.
Each crack connects to an "absolutely narrative-free space".
Countless streams of annihilating light erupted from the cracks, converging towards the center where Qin Yu was located.
What I saw before me was an infinitely folded vision, as if I had crashed into and merged into a five-dimensional space.
But all the special effects are older, higher-dimensional, and more absolute. Suddenly—
Qin Yu opened his eyes. His eyes instantly swallowed up the light of the entire abyss.
The Annihilation Dawn patterns spread from between his brows, like thousands of Annihilation stars lighting up.
The giant serpent solemnly declared, "Annihilation Dawn Realm - Supreme... Completed."
Extinguished Light took a step back and whispered, "Little Qinzi... you've already reached the darkest and highest level in this universe..."
Even I have been surpassed by you... by a single step.
Azure Ring froze for three breaths, then suddenly jumped up. "Hahahaha!!"
Little Qinzi, you've become so strong! Will I have to look up to you from now on?!
Qin Yu looked down at his hands.
Feel the pure, unwritten "annihilation" flowing slowly.
He exhaled softly. The breath settled—
The void hundreds of kilometers away was instantly annihilated into white mist, which was then automatically repaired by "Annihilation Dawn Logic" in the next instant.
This is the Annihilation Dawn Realm: Supreme – beyond imagination, beyond writing, beyond description.
Qin Yu himself knew that he had... stepped into the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme.
The wind had completely stopped. Even the light had ceased to refract.
Qin Yu had just broken through to the Annihilation Dawn Realm - Supreme, and had not yet fully recovered from the state of "annihilation that cannot be written," when he bowed respectfully once again:
"Senior's great kindness... Qin Yu will remember it forever. This junior thanks you for your great favor."
His tone was extremely steady, but Azure Ring and Extinguished Light could hear the tremor in his heart.
The Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme is already the threshold to the pinnacle of the universe, and the number of beings who truly stand at the top is extremely limited.
The Source Serpent is one of them. It is an existence so ancient that even the word "ancient" cannot accurately describe it.
--It slowly lowered its endless, sprawling blue-gold head.
The myriad realms seemed to tremble slightly under the weight of its movements.
The voice of the Source Serpent resounded from the depths of the vast universe, not echoing, but etched into the very foundation of all existence.
"You are destined to find that you possess two of the thirteen volumes of the true scriptures."
When it uttered the words "thirteen volumes",
The light from the trillions of stars overhead dimmed for a moment.
Qin Yu's heart pounded violently. Azure Ring was stunned into silence.
"The true scriptures... thirteen volumes? Those were lost before the beginning of time— oh!"
Extinguished Light immediately covered Azure Ring's mouth. "Don't talk nonsense, Little Qinzi, listen up."
The Source Serpent continued, its voice carrying the calm and indifference of countless millennia:
"You possess the 'Beginningless Origin Record' and the 'Origin Truth Framework Scripture'..."
That was the beginning, the prologue. But you... only have two volumes.
Qin Yu paused slightly. That's right.
He never revealed these two volumes of scriptures to anyone. Their origins were too strange and too shocking.
And this "Source Serpent" before him directly revealed his secret.
Immediately afterwards, the Source Serpent slowly raised its head, and the sky tore open a ten-thousand-foot-wide azure rift:
"Since we've come this far by chance... I shall give you the third volume."
Qin Yu was stunned. Extinguished Light his breath.
Azure Ring grabbed Qin Yu's shoulder. "Little Qinzi, you've struck it rich!!!"
The next instant—the universe collapses, and the true scriptures descend.
Boom!!!!!!!!!
It's like trillions of universes exploding at the same time.
--It wasn't an explosion, but rather a "page turn." The sky above suddenly transformed into Sea of Form.
Every ray of light no longer illuminates the world, but rather the "underlying structure of existence."
Golden light spread. The abyss was illuminated.
Golden lines resembling "cosmic underlying calculation formulas" appeared in the void.
Then—the entire sky was torn open from the inside out by an invisible "hand".
From the torn gap—billions of "fragments of the multiverse" flashed simultaneously!
Like countless mirrors: each facet is a universe.
Every universe reflects infinite possibilities.
But three breaths later, a small but absolutely distinct sound rang out.
The sound was like a pen tip lightly touching white paper, yet it instantly caused all the mirror universes to—
Erased. Not annihilated, not vanished, but "deleted from the records".
Extinguished Light's eyes widened. "... This is the 'True One Definition' law... it's determining the qualification for the existence of the universe..."
Azure Ring was stunned. "This is too outrageous... They even delete the universe like that..."
Deep within the cracked sky, a scroll of golden pages slowly—slowly—drifted out from the endless void.
That's not a book; it's a slice of truth itself.
As soon as it appeared--
An ancient saying arose directly from the depths of Qin Yu's soul, "The universe can be reborn, but I will sever its source."
With a single turn of the page, billions of universes shattered.
Countless galaxies were deemed "meaningless structures" and disintegrated.
The void rifts devoured the narrative layers, and the chains of laws extinguished piece by piece like a power outage.
--The entire space transformed into a sea of golden storm.
The Source Serpent spoke, its voice like that of the very first breath of chaos:
"Volume Three: The True One Definition Register." "Granted to you."
The true scripture was bestowed, Source Serpent slowly raised its massive tail.
The entire sky was instantly "gently ripped" as if by a piece of cloth.
The golden pages of the sutra pierced through the sea of light, falling like a "star formed from the rules of the universe"!
Boom--------!!!
The space in front of Qin Yu was torn open into a massive "vortex of truth".
Golden pages slowly descended, rewriting every inch of air along the way into indescribable shapes.
Qin Yu bowed respectfully to greet him. The Source Serpent spoke softly, its majesty as if it had just created the heavens:
"He who possesses this scripture can discern the 'truth' and 'falsehood' of all paths."
May you... eventually find all thirteen volumes.
The book page fell and landed in Qin Yu's palm. The world instantly turned white.
It's not light, it's "emptied blankness".
The true scripture entered his body. Qin Yu's eyes instantly emitted golden and blue "True Scripture Marks".
Both Azure Ring and Extinguished Light were so shocked that they knelt on the ground, barely able to breathe.
Extinguished Light murmured, "Qin Yu... you have already stood in the position closest to the 'Source' in this world..."
Azure Ring gasped, "This is... an unparalleled opportunity..."
The pages of the book completely merged into Qin Yu's body. The world slowly regained its light and color.
The Source Serpent closed its golden eyes: "Go, master of the third volume of the True Scripture." "The future turns its page because of you."
The heavens and earth still trembled slightly in the afterglow of the golden light, a sign that the cosmic tremors caused by the "True One Definition Register" were gradually subsiding. The embers of truth still resonated within Qin Yu's heart, yet he remained respectfully bowed, his voice steady and devout:
"I will forever remember your great kindness, Qin Yu."
The enormous Source Serpent remained silent for a moment, its ancient golden eyes, so ancient they could shame time itself, fixed intently on Qin Yu.
That glance—was like the first ray of dawn after billions of years of Annihilation.
It's like an old man witnessing a new chapter in destiny, looking at a young person who will one day tear open the sky.
The Source Serpent nodded slowly, its massive body slightly curling up in the boundless sea of stars. "Go, Master of the Third Volume of the True Scripture..."
"May you be able to make 'Origin' whole again in the future." The words faded.
It didn't cast any spells; it merely touched the void with the tip of its tail.
Buzz----!! It was as if the whole world had been switched on by a gentle touch.
The space-time beneath Qin Yu, Azure Ring, and Extinguished Light's feet instantly collapsed into silver-blue light fragments.
In the next instant, the three of them were swept into an invisible vortex by an irresistible azure teleportation force.
The last shadow of the Source Serpent gently dissipated in the depths of the collapsing alien world, as if it had never existed.
Call--!
As the dizzying light dissipated, Qin Yu landed steadily in Nebula Gate.
The magnificent Nebula Arch still floats in the center of the sky, with stars flowing continuously from the depths of the archway like tides.
Just as he regained his footing—"Young Master Qin!"
A clear, slightly excited voice rang out.
Ling Liangyan was standing in Nebula Gate, her long hair fluttering gently in the pale silver starlight, her eyes shining almost undisguised when she saw Qin Yu.
She was stunned for a moment, then burst into joy. "Young Master Qin, you... Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme? Congratulations! Congratulations!"
Qin Yu smiled slightly; the aura he exuded after breaking through to the pinnacle was unfathomable, like an invisible abyss.
He looked at Ling Liangyan with admiration in his eyes. "Haha, Elder Ling has also reached the Void Emanation Realm · Ultimate... I congratulate you as well."
The two exchanged a smile. Their laughter echoed through the sea of starlight Nebula Gate.
It's like the relief and joy of finally seeing each other after a long and perilous ordeal.
Azure Ring, arms crossed, snorted, "These two, they broke through, and they're laughing like they stole a heavenly treasure—"
Extinguished Light gently patted Azure Ring's head and whispered, "Shh, let them be happy for a while."
Just then—BOOM!!!
The Nebula Gate suddenly lit up! Streams of starlight flowed down, as if the entire sky had been poured into that giant gate.
From within the gate came a nebula-like chant, like ancient poetry: "One person, one realm; the star gate opens for the first time." "The path reopens; the stars journey together."
Qin Yu and Ling Liangyan exchanged a glance. They both smiled knowingly.
Without a word, they understood each other's meaning.
"Let's go." "Okay."
Amidst the magnificent spectacle of countless stars cascading down,
Two figures—one at the Annihilation Dawn Realm · Supreme, the other at the Void Emanation Realm · Ultimate—
They stepped side by side into the Nebula Gate, which had opened for the second time.
The sea of light surged instantly, and their figures were swallowed up by the starlight of the universe.
