Chapter 425: Turning the Supercluster into a Private Backyard

This inference is dark, but under the cosmic dark forest law, it is extremely reasonable.

If the system is a fixed-point drop coordinate.

Qin Hao is a perfect vessel that constantly upgrades and improves itself.

When this vessel becomes strong enough to bear the other's descent, the original consciousness will be erased.

Just thinking about this makes one's spine turn cold.

Qin Hao fell silent for two seconds, then reached out and gently embraced Qian Yin's shoulders.

"Yin Yin, I've thought about what you said before."

Qin Hao's voice was steady, revealing a calm that saw through everything,

"When I first got the system, I was afraid too. Afraid of being sliced for research, afraid of being possessed by aliens, afraid this is just a dream I could wake from at any moment."

"Later I figured it out."

He pointed at the vast cosmic starry sky.

"Without the system, I would have long died of old age, not even leaving bone fragments."

"Yanhuang Civilization could not have developed to today's state of all nations coming to court in such a short time."

"These years, and even the next thousand or ten thousand years, are what I have earned."

Qin Hao stared directly into Qian Jun's eyes.

"Even if I were raising pigs, I would be the happiest, strongest pig that has overturned countless butchers."

"If one day that so-called creator comes to collect debts……"

A fierce cold light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, the killing intent amassed from slaughtering countless beings.

"Whether it's possession or destruction, misfortune cannot be avoided."

"If you want to take my life, you'll have to see if your fangs are strong enough, or else I'll shatter all your teeth."

Qian Yin looked at the man before her.

That familiar, reassuring domineering feeling returned.

She sniffled, her emotions slightly calmed, and reason reclaimed the high ground.

"No, we can't just wait for death."

Qian Yin muttered a string of professional terms.

"Since it's a program, it has logic; since it has logic, it has vulnerabilities."

"No matter how deeply it's hidden, as long as it's still running, it will surely be detected."

"Starting today, I will set up a new project team dedicated to researching your system."

"One day, I will uncover all its secrets."

Watching his wife switch back to workaholic mode, Qin Hao felt both amused and exasperated.

"Fine, do as you like! Our honeymoon should be over."

Qin Hao smiled slightly and got down to business.

Qian Yin lifted her head, her eyes showing no surprise.

She is a smart woman; from the moment Qin Hao confessed everything to her,

she knew that leisurely days would not last long.

"Is it because of a jump in the cosmic constant?"

She asked.

"Yes, but not entirely."

Qin Hao stood up, hands behind his back.

"I killed the Overlord, integrated Laniakea, and it appears Yanhuang Civilization has reached the pinnacle. But this pinnacle is fragile."

"The current pan-supercluster community is more like a loose alliance. As long as I live, they submit."

"If one day Yanhuang Civilization meets with an accident or encounters a stronger enemy, this alliance will fracture and even turn against us."

"So I need absolute control."

Qian Yin walked to his side and stood shoulder to shoulder looking out the window at the starry sky.

"What do you plan to do?"

"I want to turn the entire Laniakea Supercluster into Yanhuang Civilization's backyard—not just in name, but physically."

In Qin Hao's eyes, a blueprint of the plan flickered.

"I will build a network of passages, a network that lets our fleet reach any corner in a short time."

"Let all resources serve Yanhuang Civilization. Let all civilizations survive according to the rules we set."

"Only then can we concentrate the power of the entire supercluster to face any future crisis."

"Only then can I peacefully accumulate enough strength to explore the system's secrets."

Qian Yin listened quietly.

She knew Qin Hao's decision meant a revolution sweeping the entire supercluster was imminent.

This is no longer mere conquest, but a thorough transformation.

"I support you."

She had no hesitation: "Yanhuang Civilization's Science Department will forever be your sharpest spear."

Qin Hao turned his head to look at his wife.

Sunlight fell on her face, her eyes brighter than the stars.

He reached out and gently caressed her cheek.

"Go home."

Hmm, heading home.

The Chasing Light adjusted its course, turned into a stream of light, and leapt into the dimensional depths.

……

Yanhuang Heavenly Court, conference room.

When Qin Hao and Qian Yin appeared at the conference room door, all the high-ranking officials who had been waiting there stood up.

Qian Bowen, Zhou Shaoqing, Zhang Xianzhong, Nangong Lin… and Han Ge, who was in charge of foreign affairs.

On each of their faces lay a hint of anticipation,

"All sit."

Qin Hao walked to the main seat and sat down, while Qian Yin naturally took the seat beside him.

Glancing around, everyone present was the true core of the Yanhuang Civilization.

"This time I've gathered everyone for just one thing."

Qin Hao wasted no words and went straight to the point.

"The Yanhuang Civilization will embark on a new expedition."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for his next words.

They knew that the "new expedition" Qin Hao spoke of was no small matter.

Last time he said that, they launched a campaign into Virgo.

The time before that, they ventured out of the Milky Way Galaxy.

"I've decided to activate the Heavenly Net Plan."

Qin Hao lightly tapped in the void, and a massive three-dimensional star map unfolded at the center of the conference table.

It was the full view of the Immense Heaven Supercluster, with about a hundred thousand star systems suspended within like dust, glittering with light.

"Our goal is, within the next hundred years, to use next‑generation dimensional gates to fully link every major star system in this territory."

His words fell silent, and the conference room fell into silence.

Everyone was stunned by the grandeur of the plan.

A hundred years to link a hundred thousand star systems?

That's an enormous challenge.

As the military representative, Zhou Shaoqing was the first to react, his eyes blazing with fervent light.

"If this plan succeeds, the entire Immense Heaven will be within our fleet's strike range! Any rebellion will be nipped in the bud!"

Zhang Xianzhong nodded.

"I agree with this idea! I'll treat the whole supercluster as my home to build—who'd dare play tricks on us in the future!"

At that moment, a newly promoted military engineer, Liang Qihui,

Only to see his brows furrowed tightly.

He then rose to his feet, pointed at the vast star map, and voiced his concerns,

"Commander Qin Hao, have you calculated the workload of this plan?"

"The dimensional gates we built before might not keep up with this plan."

"The technology still needs upgrading; we must blanket the entire supercluster with the network within a hundred years."

He shook his head.

"This entails some difficulty; the required resources will be an astronomical figure."

Apart from those who knew Qin Hao had a system, everyone else's gaze focused on him.

What Liang Qihui raised was the issue they all cared about.

Faced with the questioning, Qin Hao's expression didn't change in the slightest.

He pointed to his own head, the corners of his mouth turning up:

"Rest assured! You focus on research; I'll handle any technical bottlenecks."
