Qin Yu transcended fixed boundaries and used the nine True Evolution Dharma Wheels to uncover how the Touch Emanation Beast’s attacks continually created new emanation, revealing a possible way to make it collapse from within. The beast saw through his deductions and struck Qin Yu’s deepest foundation, “I am I,” freezing his consciousness and Dao.

• The Touch Emanation Beast struck Qin Yu repeatedly, damaging his body, Fate Soul, Evolution Name, past, future, and Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel.

• The beast’s attempts to extinguish the invading power produced more emanation, trapping it in an endless cycle of touching and generating new life.

He traced the abyss’s recursive structure to Myriad Laws Return to the Ruins, where the remains of past challengers revealed the cost of failing to escape its binding knowledge.

• The Endless Abyss of Knowing exposed Qin Yu’s past, possible choices, name, Dao foundation, and fundamental self, revealing that complete knowledge could seal an existence against further evolution.
• Five Knowing Layers offered conflicting answers about whether the fully known could remain alive, trapping Qin Yu between omniscience, ignorance, clinging, doubt, and emptiness.

• Qin Yu raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword without aiming it at the beast, accepted his fear, and held on to his resolve.

As his past, present, future, body, and Evolution Name disappeared, he remained barely alive, still bracing himself with the Silent Origin Stainless Sword and refusing to kneel.

• Qin Yu’s Wordless True Scroll manifested, and the Intent Root Emanation Domain, its Knowing Layers, Knowing Realms, and Myriad Laws Return to the Ruins turned to light and vanished.
• Qin Yu recognized that the Wordless True Scroll had returned to a state before writing, laws, and the twelve authorities had taken shape, while his injuries remained.

• Qin Yu allowed the question to exist and return to stillness without answering it, and a point of light arose anew within the fragment.
• The Intent Root Fragment entered Qin Yu’s intent, completing the sixth faculty’s trial.

After completing the six faculties, Qin Yu reunited their fragments and returned to the True Evolution Divine Hall, where the Grand Progenitor’s inheritance and the trial’s final reward appeared.

• Qin Yu learned that he was the sole source of the divine ability and could not be its target; the ancient scroll was left pale and empty.

After completing the six faculties, Qin Yu watched the True Evolution Divine Hall disappear and departed the Wanyan Ancestral Land. Two years later, he secretly observed Hua An in a restaurant in Returning Light Heavenly City.

• Chen Jinrong stepped out and confronted Hua An, whose damaged treasure left him with little chance of escape.
• When Hua An asked why he had attacked, Chen Jinrong said Hua Yin was responsible for their deaths and struck again.

Chen Jinrong defeated Hua An after using the bones and residual Dao traces of the Skeleton Star Sea to break his protective treasure. He discovered Hua An was Hua Yin’s Soul Thrall and, despite Hua An’s warning that his master would learn of his death, made clear that he still intended to annihilate him.

• Hua An realized Chen Jinrong was the man who had secretly hunted Hua Lineage disciples for two years and identified him as the gold-robed disciple of the Primordial Dao Clan.

• Hua An warned that Hua Yin would know if Chen Jinrong annihilated him and would avenge him.
• Chen Jinrong declared that he dared to annihilate Hua An, and Hua An’s confidence gave way to fear.

Chen Jinrong avoided killing Hua An outright to keep Hua Yin from discovering his identity, so he extracted Hua An’s Fate Soul and uncovered evidence implicating Hua Yin in Hua Jingyun’s death. He recorded the memories on a jade slip and planned to deliver it to Hua Nongrui to bring Hua Yin down.

Hua Yin sensed that Hua An’s Fate Soul origin was being extracted and went to investigate, while an ancient disturbance awakened powerful figures throughout the five multidimensional universes. Hua Jingyi linked the disturbance to a possible Primordial Origin Supreme Treasure or the opening of the Gate of the Epoch Barrier, and the immemorial trace at the heart of the Primordial Grave stirred for the first time.
