Chapter 465

These precious resources capable of stabilizing rules will be continuously transported to the Wuxian Beijiangzuo Great Wall, to perfect and upgrade its neuronal base there.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, at this moment the system sent a prompt.

【Detected an unstable space node deep within the Misty Corridor Labyrinth.】

【This node exhibits a weak resonance with the signal source of the cosmic entity's brain.】

【Suggest the host consumes Energy Points to perform a causal traceback on this node to ascertain the specific cause.】

"Another clue." Qin Hao thought upon seeing the prompt.

The secret of the cosmic entity's brain is like a huge riddle, and now he has another puzzle piece in his hand.

But he did not immediately proceed with the traceback.

First, there aren't enough Energy Points; second, now is not the time.

Before possessing sufficient strength, prematurely contacting these ultimate secrets may not be a good thing.

Just then, an encrypted communication from the Wuxian Beijiangzuo Great Wall interrupted his thoughts.

It was the person in charge of constructing the neuronal base—Mo Wentiān.

"Chief Commander!"

Mo Wentiān's image appeared on the screen; he looked somewhat fatigued, but his eyes were unusually bright: "Now there is both good news and bad news."

"Tell the good news first."

Qin Hao replied.

"The good news is that the prototype of our first neuronal base has been completed!"

Mo Wentiān's tone was full of pride,

"It fully follows your design, capable of simulating the cosmic background pulse; theoretically, it can perfectly integrate into the universe without being detected by the immune system."

"And the bad news?"

Mo Wentiān's face grew solemn.

"The bad news is that during the just‑conducted first linkage test, we discovered a minor flaw."

"The base's energy fluctuations differ from the genuine fluctuations of the surrounding cosmic environment by approximately 0.001% in energy characteristics."

"0.001%?"

Qin Hao's brows furrowed.

This figure seems insignificant.

Yet before the cosmic immune system, a precision instrument to the extreme, any slightest discord could become a fatal breach.

"Yes."

Mo Wentiān said in a low voice,

"Our technology has reached its limit. To eliminate this final discrepancy, we need deeper, genuine data about the universe's underlying rules for optimization and calibration."

"We… need a more perfect template."

Qin Hao fell silent.

He knew Mo Wentiān was correct.

The Yanhuang Civilization's "mimicry" technology is ultimately a set of relatively superficial theory and simulated data.

To truly achieve seamless integration, one must seek the most perfect answer from the actual universe.

And aside from the system, where should we look for this answer?

0.001% discrepancy.

What he pursues is perfection, genuine "mimicry," not a flawed disguise.

Because he clearly understands that in the game against the entire cosmic entity's brain, any tiny mistake could lead to total loss.

"We must eliminate this discrepancy."

Qin Hao's voice was resolute.

He immediately summoned Qian Yin and the core team of the Academy of Sciences, convening a video conference.

"Immediately import all analytical data from the Misty Corridor Rules Altar and the complete fluctuation models of high‑dimensional energy from the Sea of Stellar Radiance into the neuronal base's optimization system!"

"I want you to smooth out this 0.001% discrepancy for me!"

Qin Hao's order mobilized the entire Academy of Sciences.

Vast amounts of data flowed into the Fuxi Superbrain, initiating a new round of simulation and computation.

But Qin Hao knew that relying solely on this was insufficient.

These data are ultimately external and partial.

To make the base resonate with the entire universe, we need to comprehend the universe's own heartbeat.

Thus he called up the system interface.

"System, construct a panoramic simulation program of the cosmic pulse! Centered on the Wuxian Beijiangzuo star field, simulate and deduce the most fundamental rhythmic laws of that region! I want to find its frequency!"

【Program activation requires consumption of energy units: 100,000 jing.】

【Simulation begins, estimated time one minute…】

Immense energy was instantly drawn away; before Qin Hao's eyes appeared a model of an immensely complex cosmic network composed of countless points and lines.

The system is stripping away the superficial aspects of matter and energy to seek the hidden underlying logic deep within that drives all things' operation.

While Qin Hao devoted himself fully to eliminating this 0.001% discrepancy, Lei Ge, far away at the Alliance branch, was also not idle.

Following Qin Hao's instructions, he formally submitted to the Alliance Council a proposal spanning several hundred pages.

The proposal's name is impressive—

"Treaty on Jointly Maintaining the High‑Dimensional Ecological Balance of the Universe and Sustainable Interstellar Development."

Its core content is to propose a unified grading and environmental certification for all kinds of rare resources in the universe that involve high-dimensional rules.

Only civilizations that possess eco-friendly mining technology and have passed the alliance certification are qualified to mine these sensitive resources.

And that so-called certification standard is almost tailor-made according to the existing technology of the Yanhuang Civilization.

This proposal,

It can be said that it has pushed the idea of 'having it both ways' to the extreme.

It flies the banner of protecting the cosmic environment, but its logic is that of monopolizing rare resources.

As soon as the proposal was put forward, it immediately sparked a huge controversy within the alliance.

Many mid- and low-level seventh-level civilizations that rely on these resources voiced strong opposition, believing that the Yanhuang Civilization is using the rules to suppress dissent.

But unexpectedly, several leading member civilizations headed by Guaxiling have shown a cautious interest in this proposal.

In their view, restricting the disorderly mining of high-level resources does indeed help slow the speed of cosmic 'lesion' on a macroscopic scale.

This aligns perfectly with their long-standing core strategy of lying low and self-preservation.

As for the Yanhuang Civilization's little selfishness, in the face of greater strategic interests, it also seems to have become acceptable.

Just as the proposal was being fiercely debated, the entire alliance's attention was drawn to it.

Qin Hao's system simulation has made a startling breakthrough.

【Host, during the process of simulating the cosmic pulse, a periodic weak arrhythmia phenomenon has been detected!】

【Data analysis: The outbreak cycle of this disturbance phenomenon matches the predicted outbreak cycle of the zero‑reset disaster with a similarity of up to 99.7%!】

Qin Hao's heart sank sharply.

"Does the cosmic brain itself have a problem? And its cycle matches that of the zero‑reset?"

A terrifying thought flashed through his mind.

"Zero‑reset, perhaps it's not just the immune system killing viruses……"

"It is more like a…… periodic outbreak of the cosmic brain's own disease!"

This discovery has once again overturned his previous understanding.

If the cosmic brain itself is pathological, then what are those so‑called 'viruses'?

"Brother Lei."

Setting aside his thoughts, Qin Hao connected to the internal communicator.

"I'm here, what's up?"

On the other end of the communicator, Brother Lei's voice was as calm as ever.

"How is the response to the High‑Dimensional Ecological Balance Convention we submitted earlier?"

"Very good,"

Brother Lei's tone carried a smile.

"The leading member civilizations basically expressed approval, considering our proposed environmental certification standard very constructive.

"They probably think that we Yanhuang Civilization are short‑sighted upstarts who only want to monopolize resources, and this can be used to counterbalance other factions."
