Su Yu analyzed the anomalous narrative existences of old acquaintances from Azure Star and antagonists like the Brutal Evil God. Mastering its creation through super quality, he infused it into a new temporal universe called Void Realm and forged a Book of Narrative that manipulated stories across layers. Successfully testing its power, he completed the ascension ritual and assumed the profession of Book of Narrative, awakening the Power of Narrative within his will.

Su Yu managed to inscribe that sentence directly into his personal "Book of Narrative".

Su Yu then remained patient, anticipating the moment when the "story" embedded in that sentence would manifest into reality.

Should it succeed, he would acquire the ability to traverse narrative layers.

His profession's core power revolves around altering "stories" after all.

Within the original "story", Su Yu lacked any capacity to breach narrative layers.

But with a rewrite, wouldn't that power become his?

Yet, despite some time passing in wait, absolutely nothing shifted.

A faint smile crossed Su Yu's mind; clearly, it hadn't taken effect.

A mere single-sentence "story" proved far too simplistic, devoid of causal links or logical progression.

Stories like that were evidently invalid, unlikely to ever materialize.

Su Yu's thoughts raced as he contemplated ways to reshape the story, securing the power to transcend narrative layers.

Per his strategy, Su Yu planned to revise the tale so the Transcendence Council persisted in their experiments, supplying him ample data until they devised tech capable of piercing narrative layers...

This approach would establish proper "story" foundations, rendering it far more plausible.

Yet right as Su Yu pondered this, a sudden sensation hit him: his surroundings were crumbling away, vanishing entirely!

This erasure differed from the Power of Destruction's assault; it resembled a profound logical dissolution.

The sustaining "logic" of everything nearby appeared to be shattering apart.

Only now did Su Yu genuinely perceive the presence of "logic".

Su Yu had previously believed "Existence", synonymous with Super Quality, formed the bedrock and source of all reality.

But he now realized Super Quality alone fell short; logic was essential to uphold any form of existence.

Lacking logic, mere existence devolved into chaotic mush, incapable of self-sustenance.

Without logic, "existence" simply persisted statically, devoid of evolution or function, rendering it pointless and doomed to fade.

Earlier, Su Yu had faced the entity known as "Wisdom Existence", infused with inherent "logic".

Intelligent beings' deliberations and studies spawned existence brimming with robust logic.

This logic served as a framework, bolstering the persistence and dynamics of all things.

The freshly acquired "Narrative Existence" of Su Yu bound even tighter to logic, essential for forming any complete "narrative".

At present, every strand of logic embedded in the surrounding Super Quality fractured and evaporated.

Thus, even that Super Quality failed to sustain itself, dissolving rapidly.

The Primordial Universe, the Transcendence Council, along with Azure Star folks' freshly assembled Transcendence Council, all vanished amid this logical breakdown.

"Logic" could well surpass Super Quality as a primal force.

The famed "I think, therefore I am"—intelligent entities forging and upholding their existence via cognition—fundamentally hinges on "logic".

Thinking embodies logic at its core; absent logic, no thought could occur.

Before this, Su Yu grasped neither this elemental force nor fully appreciated its significance and nature, despite vague awareness.

Chiefly since logic lacks tangibility or shape, defying detection or capture as a purely conceptual notion.

Only upon transforming into the Book of Narrative could Su Yu finally detect it.

Yet even as he detected "logic", demise loomed for Su Yu.

Not just his environment crumbled; his very being did too.

His personal "logic" fractured and faded away.

Su Yu sensed his entire essence swiftly unraveling, total annihilation imminent.

This demise promised totality, beyond revival via the Profession Panel—a genuine end.

Logic's failure halted mental processes; "I think, therefore I am" ceased, inviting inevitable oblivion.

"Why has this struck so abruptly? An assault from higher layers?"

Currently, Su Yu's awareness and logic already disintegrated, hampering his thought speed and depth severely.

Fortuitously, Su Yu's might endured, preserving enough faculties for profound analysis to counter the peril.

Priority one: pinpoint the trigger for this abrupt logic implosion.

Su Yu's prime suspect remained an incursion from superior narrative strata.

Such a force inducing direct logic failure strongly suggested origins from above, as no current-layer foes wielded it.

Su Yu theorized his ascension to Book of Narrative, gaining potential to vault narrative layers, prompted the upper layer to deploy power eradicating him as an unpredictable factor.

Yet, Su Yu couldn't shake the suspicion that the line he had just inscribed, "Su Yu can cross narrative layers", was sparking this logic meltdown?

The phrase had no proper origin or conclusion, utterly stripped of any logic, springing forth unbidden.

Drawing from past trials, a setting so devoid of reason simply refused to take hold in the Book of Narrative.

Qu Tong had once tried etching directly into the Book of Narrative, compelling the civilization inside to advance and gain the might to transcend narrative layers.

Yet it wouldn't stick; even if scrawled, it faded away instantly.

Once Su Yu fused with the Book of Narrative, though, his command over its forces dwarfed Qu Tong's grasp.

To Qu Tong, the Book of Narrative remained a mere outside artifact.

For Su Yu, it embodied his very essence, his innate strength.

Hence, Su Yu could ignore all barriers, thrusting illogical decrees right into the Book of Narrative.

It had looked pointless at first, since he hadn't obtained the power to cross narrative layers.

Now, however, it appears that effect might not have been absent; perhaps it had already ignited.

But bringing such a randomly spawned "sentence story" to life triggered the full unraveling of the narrative layer's logic.

Su Yu was convinced that the mayhem unfolding stemmed from that very sentence he'd penned: "Su Yu can cross narrative layers".

Upon inscription, the sentence brutally overwrote the "story"—namely, the ongoing narrative layer.

Devoid of any rational thread and bursting into existence without cause, this sentence provoked the logic breakdown across the current narrative layer.

Similar to a tale gliding along flawlessly, only for an absurd, unexplained twist to crash in, toppling the entire plot.

Still, inscribing just one line shouldn't unleash such absolute devastation...

After mulling it over, Su Yu pieced together that both forces were at play.

The strike from the higher narrative layer, merged with the disruption from Su Yu's sentence, fueled this catastrophic collapse, hurtling toward total annihilation soon.

"At this point, it seems the only choice is to keep rewriting the story, reshaping logic..."
