Su Yu senses the upper narrative layer with partial will through the Book of Narrative but cannot clearly perceive its story amid accelerating logic collapse in the lower layer. Desperate with time running out, he writes 'Su Yu can transcend the narrative layer,' causing the upper layer to collapse while propelling his essence upward. Unfazed, he repeatedly inscribes the same sentence, hastening the upper layer's disintegration as his ascension advances.

Su Yu was certain the beings in the upper narrative layer wouldn’t allow that realm to fall apart.

"Since my tale remains fragmented and overly basic, you can assist by fleshing it out and enriching it for me..."

Su Yu placed a bold wager, confident that the upper narrative layer’s entities wouldn’t permit the collapse and would inevitably act to rescue the situation.

Naturally, this hinged on the disruption Su Yu triggered being substantial enough.

Therefore, Su Yu persisted in crafting that disjointed one-sentence tale, lacking any coherent logic yet packed with immense weight, centered on the ability to traverse narrative layers.

Consequently, the ensuing breakdown was bound to be catastrophic.

The goal was to provoke the utmost chaos in the upper narrative layer, possibly outpacing the lower layer’s own downfall.

This would compel certain beings in the upper narrative layer to make their move.

Their method of intervention would most likely involve reshaping the narrative.

The simplest approach might be deleting the one-sentence story Su Yu had penned, halting the logical unraveling.

Indeed, right when Su Yu reached the midpoint of his "Ascension," he felt the crumbling upper narrative layer steady itself.

Simultaneously, the one-sentence tales he’d just composed began vanishing at a rapid pace.

His "Ascension" seemed poised to halt as well.

Su Yu promptly began writing once more!

Now to test whether they could delete quicker than his writing pace.

Su Yu didn’t limit it to himself; he added "Tie Long can cross narrative layers," "Xiao Shengyin can cross narrative layers," "Qu Tong can..."

He bundled up all the familiar members of the Transcendence Council and inscribed them swiftly.

Every one formed a standalone, broken one-sentence narrative, dashed off with barely any pauses.

The upper narrative layer’s breakdown suddenly surged forward.

Before, Su Yu held back his efforts, but now he unleashed his full might!

In that instant, Su Yu realized the upper layer’s erasure speed lagged behind his furious writing.

"Looks like their Book of Narrative falls short of my class ability..."

A faint smile curved in Su Yu’s mind as he kept scribbling wildly.

Continuing like this, his ascension could fail entirely, and soon both layers would shatter under his one-sentence onslaught!

Right then, a shift finally happened!

Su Yu discovered his ongoing one-sentence stories weren’t vanishing anymore; instead, they were... growing and gaining depth!

The tale "Su Yu can transcend narrative layers,"

swiftly ballooned from one line to tens of thousands of characters, still expanding nonstop!

Witnessing this, a subtle grin formed in Su Yu’s heart; stability achieved!

The upper-tier beings had yielded!

Upper layer entities stopped erasing Su Yu’s writings and started aiding in broadening and refining that single-sentence story for him.

Because without their aid, letting Su Yu keep going would doom both narrative layers to shared annihilation! A classic mutual assured destruction ploy!

Su Yu lacked a clear view of the upper narrative layer’s state and couldn’t craft a seamless, logical tale to breach layers conventionally.

Yet that was irrelevant; through coercion, he’d forced the upper beings to refine the "plot" and narrative coherence for him.

Now, Su Yu observed his place within those freshly fleshed-out stories in the upper narrative layer.

Within this elaborated, polished narrative, Su Yu led a human faction called "Yu Country" on the "Origin Continent."

Earlier, Su Yu wielded a "Tiered Artifact" to manage affairs in the lower narrative layer, and with the task done, he now harnessed its might to come back...

In any case, it formed a complete, sensible storyline starring Su Yu.

Should this narrative solidify into reality, Su Yu would emerge as a native figure in the upper narrative layer, equipped with narrative-transcending tech.

This perfectly matched the line "Su Yu can transcend narrative layers."

Thus, no paradox-induced collapse would arise.

At the same time, Su Yu could leverage this refined tale to legitimately "ascend" into the upper narrative layer.

Or better phrased, "return" and reclaim his role as "Yu Country"'s leader.

Normally, Su Yu’s "Audience Reader" status barred him from starring in Book of Narrative tales, preventing the upper layer from casually inserting him.

However, an exception existed: Su Yu could pen himself into the starring role via his own words, impacting his own fate.

That prior one-sentence story exemplified it perfectly.

At this moment, those beings from the upper layer began reshaping everything around Su Yu’s single-sentence tale, allowing them to directly manipulate and impact Su Yu himself.

This setup was precisely what Su Yu had planned for.

His goal was to leverage this very setup for his ascent to the upper layer.

"Very good!"

Upon witnessing those elaborated narratives unfold, Su Yu felt a surge of satisfaction deep within.

He then decided to wipe out all the remaining one-sentence stories, preserving just the one that had been expanded.

With the upper layer already yielding by reworking the tale to pull Su Yu upward, he naturally needed to play along and eliminate those one-sentence fragments that risked causing a total logical breakdown.

Once all other one-sentence stories were deleted, Su Yu began revising the surviving narrative.

The rewrite focused on weaving in the Transcendence Council—lost to the prior logical collapse—right into this tale.

In the original version, Su Yu stood as the sole protagonist, and the upper narrative layer obviously aimed to elevate only him.

Yet now, Su Yu aimed to hoist the Transcendence Council alongside him.

Within Su Yu’s revised account, the Transcendence Council belonged to "Yu Country" as his loyal underlings, who had sneaked into the lower narrative layer with him for a grand mission, and were now ascending back together.

After all, surrounded by so many familiar faces, Su Yu refused to let them all vanish in the logical chaos; he grabbed this chance to carry them with him.

The moment Su Yu began his revisions, the upper layer’s "expansion" halted briefly, as if stunned that he sought to rise with such a crowd.

But soon enough, the upper layer’s "expansion" picked back up, incorporating the Transcendence Council and refining the entire storyline’s framework.

This was undoubtedly yet another concession; if Su Yu insisted on bringing others, they would allow it.

They were powerless against it, since Su Yu held the weapon of mutual annihilation, compelling their compliance.

Observing this development, Su Yu grew more confident, feeling his true entry into the upper layer drawing ever nearer.

Barring any sudden twists, he would achieve transcendence just before his own logic fully crumbled.

Still, Su Yu stayed vigilant, scrutinizing the growing story for any snares set by the upper layer’s inhabitants.

Sure enough, he spotted concealed pitfalls within the narrative, such as vulnerabilities tied to Su Yu.

Su Yu promptly removed that section.

Finding no further openings, the upper layer’s beings ceased their trap-setting and proceeded with steady writing.

At last, the story reached completion.

Su Yu sensed he had fully breached an unimaginable divide, stepping into... the upper narrative layer!
