Su Yu desperately wrote billions of words in his Book of Narrative to reshape the collapsing logic, but interference from an upper narrative layer's counter-writing outpaced him. Abandoning environmental fixes, he repeatedly inscribed 'Su Yu can cross the narrative layer,' harnessing his High-dimensional Destiny to sense the upper realm. As collapse neared completion, a fragment of his will successfully crossed into the upper narrative layer, enabling him to target its story for rewriting and end the crisis.

Su Yu currently holds merely a fragment of his will, and through the Book of Narrative, he has broken beyond the narrative layer, permitting him to detect a spot within the higher layer.

Still, his fundamental essence and strength stay far from achieving true transcendence.

Thus, rewriting the tale becomes essential, letting his core essence ascend as well.

Nevertheless, employing the Book of Narrative from the inferior narrative layer to alter the superior layer's tale proves nearly unattainable, despite Su Yu now perceiving fragments of that upper realm; success remains elusive.

In the end, dwelling in the lower layer places him inherently inferior. How could a subordinate Book of Narrative overwrite its superior counterpart?

Yet Su Yu's Book of Narrative stands apart from the common variety; post-employment, it formed from his very essence—he embodies the book, and the book embodies him.

Furthermore, Su Yu carries a mysterious trait from an unknown source; within this narrative realm, he isn't merely a story character but a "spectator," a "reader."

This grants him an intrinsic essence that surpasses narrative boundaries by nature.

Though full transcendence eludes him, he lingers within this narrative layer.

Upon shifting into the Book of Narrative, this trait transfers over, endowing the book with matching essence.

Subtly overcoming the confines of narrative tiers.

Such a trait offers Su Yu the chance to dwell below while reshaping the upper narrative layer's storyline.

Therefore, in this instant, a mere intention from Su Yu suffices to modify the upper narrative layer's tale via inscription.

Armed with this astonishing power, Su Yu teeters merely one step from genuine transcendence across narrative layers.

Still, Su Yu refrains from writing right away.

For he grasps almost zilch about the upper narrative layer—so how could he reshape its "story"?

Rewriting demands prior knowledge of the story's content; only then can true "rewriting" occur.

Ignorance breeds mere haphazard scribbles.

Thus, Su Yu urgently needs to probe the upper narrative layer's state, comprehend its "story," and execute precise alterations.

Upon finishing the rewrite, the combined influence from lower and upper layer tales will propel Su Yu beyond narrative barriers into the higher realm.

Should Su Yu manage to elevate his essence past the narrative layer, the ongoing logic breakdown in the lower layer would cease to impact him, averting the present peril.

But here's the crux of the issue!

Su Yu has barely glimpsed aspects of the upper narrative layer, detecting its space-time dimensions.

Yet, gaining a full, sharp perception stays hazy and indistinct.

Su Yu merely realizes life and civilizations undoubtedly thrive in the upper layer.

However, the precise nature there, the specific "story" unfolding, eludes both sight and sense.

Meanwhile, Su Yu's remaining time dwindles rapidly!

His personal logic disintegration intensifies, with normal awareness and processing capacity now below half.

Should this persist, total collapse beyond the Book of Narrative's activation would spell true demise, rendering the Profession Panel powerless to revive him.

"This is truly tough..."

Su Yu strains his will to its utmost, but the upper layer's details refuse to clarify.

Peering into the upper narrative layer from below proves staggeringly arduous.

Imagine a novel's figure or film character attempting to fathom the real world's state—utterly implausible!

Surpassing narrative layers defies possibility by design.

That Su Yu vaguely detects upper layer fragments counts as a rare boon; pushing further appears utterly forlorn.

Truthfully, maxing out the Book of Narrative profession might enable it—direct insight into the upper layer from below.

However, fresh from employment, its level sits at a mere one.

Amid the logic collapse threat, zero time exists for leveling up.

All paths to hope vanish entirely.

Su Yu finds himself utterly trapped.

"Damn it, time's almost gone..."

Su Yu senses the logic breakdown accelerating, anxiety surging within.

In theory, Su Yu might ignore the upper narrative layer's "story" altogether.

Simply invent a fresh tale from nothing, leveraging it to breach the narrative layer.

Yet a disjointed, baseless "story" like that, devoid of logical ties, risks instant logic failure upon creation.

Much like Su Yu's current ordeal.

Though, the logic collapse afflicting Su Yu presently unfolds strictly within this narrative layer.

Should he scribble carelessly once more, the upper narrative layer would inevitably crumble.

The lower layer's collapse combined with the upper one's would surely seal Su Yu's fate.

Thus, Su Yu finds himself trapped from both sides—writing spells doom, and refusing to write does the same.

"Wait... maybe I can do this..."

In this dire instant, a bold idea sparks within Su Yu’s mind.

Without a second's delay, he swiftly starts penning words in his Book of Narrative.

Strangely, the words he inscribes remain unchanged: still just "Su Yu can transcend the narrative layer!"

Before, inscribing this line aimed to overhaul the tale of the current narrative layer, sparking a logical breakdown.

Now, he's overhauling the tale from the upper narrative layer instead.

True enough, the upper narrative layer crumbles as well!

Harnessing the might of that sentence, Su Yu abruptly perceives the upper layer with far greater clarity.

Su Yu vaguely detects within the upper narrative layer what appears to be a city, a planet, or maybe a continent? Details blur in the haze.

Regardless of what's unfolding there, it all seems to be falling apart right now.

This stems from the abrupt "one-sentence story" declaring "Su Yu can transcend the narrative layer", slapped down without setup or closure, triggering the upper narrative layer's downfall.

At the same time, fueled by this sentence's power, Su Yu’s core essence starts rising, surging toward the upper narrative layer.

Though this "one-sentence story" lacks proper beginning or end, its inscription in the upper narrative layer grants it iron grip over the lower one.

It's like Su Yu has forged a fresh "High-dimensional Destiny" for himself, one where transcending narrative layers defines his path.

Moreover, by etching this sentence into the lower narrative layer too, he claims that same destiny below.

Through this synergy of upper and lower layers, Su Yu stands on the brink of "ascension."

He's poised to genuinely rise into the upper narrative layer, abandoning the crumbling lower one behind.

Still, even successful ascension leads only to another disintegrating narrative layer, offering no true reprieve from doom.

But Su Yu betrays no hint of fear; he presses on with his writing.

He repeats that very same sentence from before.

Every inscription hastens the upper layer's disintegration.
