Chapter 468

Universal Alliance G-37 branch, monitoring center.

On the holographic light curtain, two utterly different images were being displayed in real time.

On the left, it was the scarlet Zero-Return lesion area.

Countless star systems were silently annihilated in the collapse of rules, turning into a chaotic energy turbulence.

The Causality Law in that region had completely broken down; any detection signal extending into it would receive absurd feedback.

Some signals showed that it was a void,

while others showed it packed with countless overlapping universes, like a program whose logic had utterly collapsed.

On the right, a massive cluster of blue light dots represented the expeditionary force of the Yanhuang Civilization.

At this moment, that blue cluster was advancing straight toward the scarlet "death forbidden zone" with a resolute posture.

"They're crazy! They actually charged in!"

At this moment, a personnel member of the Spiritnet Civilization responsible for monitoring data shouted loudly.

His data-stream body flickered violently from shock.

"We're three… two… one… away from contacting the outer edge of the Zero-Return energy!"

"Contact!"

Inside the monitoring center, representatives of all civilizations held their breath, staring intently at the light curtain.

In their expectation, when the Yanhuang fleet touched the Zero-Return energy, it should have been like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan,

evaporated, assimilated, and then completely vanished from the light curtain.

However, what happened next left everyone's thoughts in a state of crash.

Only see that the massive blue light dot cluster, upon touching the edge of the scarlet region, experienced no violent conflict, nor was it devoured.

Instead, they… simply merged into it smoothly and steadily.

Yes, they merged into it.

It seemed as if the Zero-Return storm that could make even seventh-level civilizations tremble was not a destructive natural disaster at all.

but rather a gentle blue ocean, and the Yanhuang fleet was like a school of fish returning home.

"What's going on!?"

"The signal disappeared? No! Their signal is still there,"

but… but their energy signature is synchronizing with the Zero-Return energy in a way we cannot comprehend?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The fluctuations of Zero-Return energy are disordered, chaotic, and full of destruction! How could they be synchronized?"

"What new technology is this? It has actually reached this extent!?"

Inside the monitoring center, an uproar erupted.

All representatives widened their eyes, watching the Yanhuang fleet sail steadily through the outer region of the Zero-Return energy as if strolling in their own backyard.

Those violent turbulences, capable of tearing dimensions,

strangely became gentle as they approached the Yanhuang fleet.

This scene completely overturned their understanding of Zero-Return accumulated over hundreds of millions of years.

"Snail Chancellor…"

Yun Ling's light and shadow fluctuated violently, his voice filled with disbelief: "This… this is what's happening?"

Wa Xi Ling was also completely dazed.

Standing in place, her mind went blank.

She had imagined countless possibilities.

the Yanhuang fleet being destroyed, suffering heavy losses and fleeing in disarray, or triggering an even more violent energy explosion…

but she never imagined it would be this harmonious scene before her eyes.

"How… how did they do it?"

Wa Xi Ling murmured to herself, her voice dry.

The experience she prided herself on and the council's ironclad rule passed down for countless years became a joke at this moment.

……

Pangu flagship, bridge.

Unlike the shock and despair outside the monitoring center, here all was calm.

Zhou Yunhai and all the crew felt the warship passing through a peculiar energy field.

Outside the window, the universe was no longer deep darkness,

but rather flowing, colorful, constantly appearing and disappearing fragments of rules.

They resembled multicolored auroras, beautiful yet harboring deadly danger.

However,

these dangerous auroras, as they flowed past the Pangu's Mirror Flower Water Moon shield,

were gently combed and smoothed by an invisible force field.

Then, following the golden rule-altar runes on the hull's surface, they slowly flowed into the ship's internal energy conversion core.

"Report! The mimetic agreement's second phase is operating stably."

"We have successfully replicated the 'immune identification' marker of Zero-Return energy; the current synchronization rate with the disaster zone environment reaches 99.999%!"

"Report! The energy conversion core is converting the absorbed violent Zero-Return energy into standard energy reserves! Conversion efficiency… is 17 times that of the dimensional engine!"

Hearing the report, the bridge filled with a chorus of gasps.

Everyone's face showed ecstasy and admiration.

Their gazes, in unison, turned toward the figure standing at the front of the bridge, hands clasped behind his back.

Qin Hao once again turned the impossible into possible!

In others' eyes, an apocalyptic natural disaster, but in the Chief Commander's hands, it actually became……an ultra-efficient mobile power bank?

This is no longer a crushing at the technical level; it's a dimensionality reduction strike at the cognitive level!

Zhou Yunhai clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

He finally understood what Qin Zheng meant by 'eating a buffet.'

This is more than just eating a buffet; it's practically moving a five-star Michelin restaurant straight back home!

"Maintain speed, continue advancing deeper."

Qin Zheng's voice sounded timely, he patted Zhou Yunhai on the shoulder, a smile of everything being under control on his face, "The good show has only just begun."

He turned to the communications officer: "Send a message to the G-37 branch of the Universal Alliance."

"What to send?"

The communications officer asked blankly.

Clearing his throat, Qin Zheng spoke in a sorrowful and urgent tone:

"The Yanhuang Expeditionary Force has encountered an unknown rule storm; the fleet is severely damaged and has lost contact with the rear!"

"Requesting aid from the Alliance… uh, never mind, don't request aid—just say we are shedding our last drop of blood to defend cosmic peace!"

"Ah?"

The communications officer became even more confused.

Are we not doing fine?

We're still charging.

"What are you talking about! Send it as I say!"

Qin Zheng glared at him, "You have to act the whole show! Understand?"

"I understand, I understand!"

The communications officer shuddered, hurriedly beginning to edit this battle report where every word was written with tears and blood.

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Palace Microcosm Headquarters, Qin Hao watched the fleet sail smoothly through the disaster zone, the corners of his mouth slightly rising.

The core of the second phase of the Mimicry Agreement is not merely a simple frequency simulation.

but rather utilizing the "identity marker" left behind by an eighth-level civilization, deciphered from the Rules Altar,

and with the support of the Replication System, thereby disguising themselves as friendly units of the cosmic immune system.

This is like a skilled hacker who not only broke through the firewall but also gave himself an administrator account with the highest privileges.

Thus, the frenzied antivirus program will not only not attack them,

but will instead treat them as allies and even provide them with energy.

"A quack doctor only thinks about how to fight the immune system, while a divine doctor knows how to coexist with it—and even… guide it."

Qin Hao's gaze was directed toward the very core of the lesion area.

There lies the home star systems of three seventh-level civilizations, and also the place where null energy is most violent and rules most chaotic.

"The first step of the guidance has been completed."

"Next comes the second step."

Anticipation flashed in Qin Hao's eyes.

"Turn these violent energies into……the backyard of our Yanhuang Civilization."
