• The Nine-Winged Divine Phoenix realized Qin Yu was fighting cause and effect itself and recalled that he had annihilated the Three Nether Yin Puppets.

Qin Yu countered the Nine-Winged Divine Phoenix’s logic-extinguishing power with the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, first breaking his denial technique and then severing the validity that anchored his authority to Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins.

• After sensing a faint tremor from Wanning’s Fate Soul, Qin Yu and Zhou Yujin headed deeper into the Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins to rescue her.

Qin Yu and Zhou Yujin entered a strange, carefully formed sea of flowers while following the Fate Soul presence of Zhou Yujin’s younger sister, Wanning. Five curious flower spirits recognized a connection between Zhou Yujin and someone deeper in the forest, then led the two men onward.

• Qin Yu identified the radiant forest as a deliberately arranged buffer realm and warned Zhou Yujin that it might conceal danger.
• Qin Yu and Zhou Yujin followed the faint Fate Soul presence into the sea of flowers and encountered five childlike flower spirits.
• Qin Yu determined that the flower spirits showed no hostility, while Zhou Yujin stayed alert.
• One flower spirit sniffed Zhou Yujin, gestured toward the depths, and prompted Qin Yu to infer that they wanted the two men to follow.
• Qin Yu and Zhou Yujin followed the five spirits as they played along a path of light through the sea of flowers.

• The flower spirits led Qin Yu and Zhou Yujin to a lakeshore, where Zhou Wanning turned to greet her brother.

Qin Yu, Zhou Wanning, and Zhou Yujin thanked Zhi Huanuo and Wan Huaying for sheltering them, then left the flower-filled refuge in the Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins.

• Zhi Huanuo praised Qin Yu’s cultivation, and Qin Yu concealed that he had annihilated the Logic-Extinguishing Divine Phoenix.
• Zhou Yujin thanked Zhi Huanuo and Wan Huaying for saving Zhou Wanning and said the three needed to leave.
• Zhou Wanning thanked the two flower fairies and said goodbye to the five flower spirits before she, Qin Yu, and Zhou Yujin departed.
• Zhi Huanuo told Wan Huaying that Qin Yu had likely killed the Divine Phoenix, citing the terrifying remnant of causality he sensed on him.
• Qin Yu, Zhou Wanning, and Zhou Yujin reached the outskirts of the Return to the Ruins, where Qin Yu noticed an unusual ripple that suggested something was tracing the lingering causality.

Qin Yu brought Zhou Wanning and Zhou Yujin to a hidden refuge and revealed that the crystal fused with Wanning’s Fate Soul was the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow, a key capable of restoring or rewriting the Void Obliteration Domain. He warned that the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor sought it, and urged Wanning to cultivate until she could control its power herself.

• Qin Yu sensed that someone had begun tracking the trio after a causality fissure searched the Eternal Silence Return to the Ruins, so he led Zhou Wanning and Zhou Yujin to the Cinder-Bone Desolate Marsh.
• Qin Yu opened a concealed space beyond five dimensions and asked Zhou Wanning to manifest the crystal core inside her.
• Zhou Wanning revealed the inky-gold crystal, and Qin Yu and Zhou Yujin identified it as the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow.
• Qin Yu explained that the marrow could replenish causality, fate, rules, and worlds, and that the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor could use it to awaken the Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable’s fate core and rewrite the Void Obliteration Domain.
• Qin Yu told Zhou Wanning that the marrow had fused with her Fate Soul and could not be removed without killing her, then advised her to cultivate until she could control it.

Qin Yu considered how to protect Zhou Wanning and the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow from the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor, then consulted Azure Ring for a solution. He prepared to rewrite the marrow’s causal record so it would become a Silent Realm variable, leaving the dangerous procedure about to begin.

• Qin Yu warned Zhou Yujin and Zhou Wanning that the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor would keep pursuing the marrow and that awakening the Source-Suppressing Stillnessless Venerable could bring slaughter to the Source of Epochless.
• Zhou Wanning asked whether destroying her Fate Soul would stop the calamity, but Qin Yu explained that the marrow would find another host.
• Qin Yu proposed luring the emperor toward a causal double that he would bear, then offered to take Zhou Wanning to his Annihilation Abyss Epoch; Zhou Wanning rejected the latter plan to protect Qin Yu’s companions.
• Qin Yu consulted Azure Ring, who proposed using Causal Deconstruction and the Silent Origin Wheel Prison’s origin logic to change the marrow’s causal coordinates and record the Silent Realm as its host.
• Qin Yu returned to Zhou Wanning and Zhou Yujin, told them the procedure would be dangerous, and asked them not to resist as he began Cause and Effect Deconstruction.

Qin Yu severed the Void Evolution Causality-Replenishing Marrow’s traceable connection to the Source of Epochless, saving Zhou Wanning from being pursued by the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor. After learning that Azure Ring was nearing the awakening of the Blue Ring, which could help him find Yan Yue, Qin Yu took Zhou Wanning and Zhou Yujin toward the Chaos First Palace.

• Qin Yu told Zhou Wanning and Zhou Yujin that the Thought Severance Devouring Emperor would find only a blank if he tried to trace the hidden core.

Qin Yu left the Chaos First Palace to search for Ling Liangyan at the Lightless Blood Abyss, while Jin Hanyan tracked his Fate Soul but could not determine his location. At the abyss, Qin Yu sensed Liangyan deep below and drew the Blood Abyss’s attention, whereupon a powerful being began to emerge.
