(AN:Readers Consider the Will of the universe == will of the author of the Douluo multiverse.)

Adam remained silent, as the future Qian Renxue continued.
"You all are unique."
Her gaze was steady.
"There is only one of each throughout this multiverse."
Yet her voice remained clear.
"But I..."
A smile appeared on her bloodstained face.
"Am not only unique, but also an anomaly"
The observing Qian Renxue's pupils contracted.
At that moment, she suddenly understood what her future self had been planning or she herself was walking towards it unknowingly
"The River of Memories does not merely connect the past and future."
"It connects possibilities to countless versions of myself."
The smile on her face became increasingly dangerous, yet beneath the madness was terrifying clarity.
"What are the odds..."
"That the psyches of countless Qian Renxues across countless possibilities can contend against the madness of higher sequences?"
Adam's eyes narrowed. For the first time, genuine seriousness appeared within them.
The future Qian Renxue laughed softly. The observing Qian Renxue felt her heart pound violently.
Because she finally understood.
The future Qian Renxue slowly spread her remaining arm, as if embracing the entire River of Memories and every possibility that could ever exist.
"All of us..."
Her voice became softer.
"Fighting toward the only possibility."
"The will of this multiverse may be a being that controls fate across all timelines."
Her purple eyes shone brilliantly.
"But can it contend against a Sequence One..."
A smile filled with madness appeared.
"...Author?"
The future Qian Renxue's smile widened, blood continuously flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Like a gambler who had finally found a way to overturn an unwinnable game.
"Adam."
Her voice was filled with certainty.
"I am going to make one final gamble."
A terrifying gleam appeared in her eyes.
"A gamble that may very well flip the chessboard."
The River of Memories seemed to surge behind her.
Countless illusory currents emerged of Past, Present and Future, which converged around her figure.
"Let's see..."
Her purple eyes locked onto Adam.
"...who gets the last laugh."
CRACK.
The memory shattered, like glass struck by an invisible hammer.
The observing Qian Renxue was abruptly expelled from the memory.
The River of Memories reappeared around her. Its endless waters flowed quietly through the darkness.
However—Qian Renxue's attention had become fixed upon, the upper reaches of the River of Memories.
A blurry silhouette stood whose figure seemed impossibly distant, yet at the same time, it felt unbelievably close.
Countless streams of fate flowed beneath its feet, past and future revolved around its existence.
As though it existed beyond the limits of observation itself.
Qian Renxue's breathing unconsciously slowed, a strange sense of familiarity emerged within her heart.
Qian Renxue felt a familiar feeling from the silhouette standing at the upper reaches of the River of Memories.
An indescribable loneliness.
For a moment, Qian Renxue stood silently amidst the endless currents of memories, her thoughts drifted.
Throughout her life, countless people had stood beside her,yet none of them had truly understood the path she was walking.
To them, she was mysterious, powerful, unfathomable.
Nobody knew that every step she took brought her closer to the edge of madness. The burden of carrying memories that did not belong to her.
Yet despite all of that...a smile slowly appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
Because one thing had become clear after witnessing that memory, a truth she could no longer deny.
"Only I am eligible to walk this path."
The words echoed softly within her heart.... it was acceptance.
The path she had chosen could not be inherited. Her purple eyes gradually brightened.
Meanwhile, high above the collective subconscious of the Douluo Continent, Qian Renxue began to think.
The future memory had shown her a possibility, a chance to overturn the chessboard itself.
However, a gamble did not mean recklessness.
If she intended to challenge the strongest powers within the multiverse, then every step had to be calculated carefully.
Qian Renxue quietly organized her thoughts.
'First...'
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
'The seal cannot be broken within the Douluo Continent.'
The beings sealed beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were far too dangerous.
Even leaking a fraction of their influence could bring catastrophe.
'The Undead Plane...'
'That is a suitable location.'
The demiplane was not part of the Douluo continent unlike the dragon demiplane.
The gears in Qian Renxue's mind continued turning.
'The will of the universe will interfere.'
Her expression became serious, the endless future memories had revealed enough clues.
It was as if the world itself was partial. Whenever Spirit Hall approached victory, fate seemed to subtly tilt against them.
'The fate of Spirit Hall's defeat has already been deeply rooted.'
The realization made her smile, because fate could be deceived. A true conspirator never fought fate directly.
'However...'
Her eyes shone with intelligence.
'Before Spirit Hall falls, the faith of the Angel Goddess will reach its peak.'
That was inevitable, because all the miracles she had performed in the continent all these years.
The smile on Qian Renxue's face slowly widened.
'For misdirection...'
'A virtual persona must be sent into the River of Memories.'
After all, if she intended to challenge beings capable of observing timelines, then ordinary deception was meaningless.
Only another story could hide the true story.
An eerie smile gradually appeared on Qian Renxue's face, yet there was something deeply unsettling about it.
It was the smile of someone standing at the border between genius and madness. The smile of someone preparing to gamble everything.
Her opponents included the strongest being within the Douluo Multiverse: the hidden power manipulating fate or what she had referred to as the Will of the universe
And the terrifying existence sleeping beneath the Ice and Fire Seal.
