Chapter 473: Just like that, they bestowed a title on me?

Heavenly Palace Microcosm.

Qin Hao quietly looked at the star map; the light point representing the Inspector emitted an eerie fluctuation.

"The visitor comes with ill intent!"

"Wan Ge's expression became unusually solemn."

"According to the secret information risked by Woxi Ling to transmit, this Inspector comes from an eighth-level civilization called the 'Chronological Observers,' who proclaim themselves as the maintainers of cosmic order,"

"Their greatest expertise lies in using Causality Law technology to correct everything they find displeasing."

"Causality Law..."

Qin Hao repeated this word, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

This is precisely the direction he prepares to focus his main attack on.

I didn't expect to meet a professional so soon.

"He is currently being brought by Woxi Ling to our newly demarcated territory, the Miracle Garden, and specifically requests to see you."

Zhou Yunhai added, his tone laced with vigilance.

"A Hongmen banquet!"

Mao Xinyang snorted, "These guys from headquarters are indeed not of the same ilk as those from the branch. At most, the branch just wants to take advantage, while headquarters wants to take our lives directly."

"No, he doesn't want our lives."

Qin Hao shook his head to correct.

"He wants to... abolish our martial arts, turn us into people like him, content with the status quo, clinging to life as tomb keepers."

In Qin Hao's mind, the System's description of the nature of the Universal Alliance surfaced.

A group of desperate viruses, trying to survive a few more days on the body of a giant about to die.

And this divine doctor who tries to cure the giant is, in their view, naturally the greatest heresy.

"Dad, how should we respond?"

Qin Zheng's voice came from the communicator; he had already led the Pangu Fleet, standing ready on the outskirts of the Miracle Garden.

His tone was full of soaring fighting spirit.

Regardless of whether it's an eighth-level civilization or an Inspector, if they dare to cause trouble, we'll fight first and talk later.

"Don't be nervous."

Qin Hao smiled, soothing his own battle-eager eldest son, "When guests arrive, we naturally must fulfill our host's duty."

He stood up and tidied his clothes.

"Let's go, we'll go meet this headquarters' imperial envoy."

"I'd like to see how he intends to put shackles on me."

Qin Hao's figure instantly vanished from the Command Center.

The next second, he had already crossed a distance of hundreds of millions of light-years, appearing at the core of the Miracle Garden,

quietly sitting on the throne of the Divine Hall, awaiting the guest's arrival.

Several days later,

The doors of the Divine Hall opened silently.

Woxi Ling and the Inspector in a gray robe entered, one after the other.

Woxi Ling's face showed obvious tension and unease.

While the Inspector, as if surveying his own backyard, casually glanced over everything around,

beneath his blurry visage lay a barely perceptible contempt.

"Truly... a foolish creation."

The Inspector's gaze fell upon the cores simulating stellar motion on the Divine Hall's dome, and he uttered his first evaluation.

"Converting violent null energy into this inefficient, unstable life force is like smelting gold into scrap iron."

"You are not only polluting the cosmic environment, but also wasting precious resources."

His voice sounded directly in Qin Hao's consciousness, carrying a condescending judgmental tone.

Qin Hao laughed upon hearing that.

"In my view, gold and scrap iron have no superiority; only their uses differ."

He likewise responded with consciousness, "Iron that can be forged into a plow, letting all things grow, is good iron; only that which lies in the treasury molding is useless gold."

"Flattering words and a pleasing countenance."

The Inspector's gaze finally moved away from the surroundings and fell upon Qin Hao on the throne.

The two gazes collided invisibly in the air.

In an instant, Qin Hao felt as if he had been torn from spacetime, placed within a ceaselessly flowing river of fate.

His past, present, and future,

all of his information lay like an open book before the other's eyes.

Is this the power of an eighth-level civilization?

Directly reading all of a person's information from the causal level.

However,

Just as the other's gaze tried to delve deep, investigating the existence of the 【System】 in his mind,

a similarly vast power instantly reflected that gaze back.

"Huh?"

The Inspector's figure showed, for the first time, a barely perceptible wobble.

His blurry visage flickered, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

He actually…… couldn't see through this person!

On the opponent's body, a layer of mist even more mysterious than the Causality Law he mastered shrouded.

"It seems, the variables on you are greater than I imagined."

The Inspector's voice, for the first time, carried solemnity.

"I prefer to call it possibility."

Qin Hao smiled in response.

"Possibility often means loss of control."

The Inspector coldly said, "My duty is to eliminate all loss of control."

He no longer wasted words, slowly raising one hand.

"The strong one of the Yanhuang Civilization, Qin Hao."

His voice, like a deity's proclamation, echoed throughout the temple.

"Due to your actions, you severely disturbed the stability of cosmic macroscopic causality, causing immeasurable destruction to the predetermined future

I, in the name of the Inspector of the Universe Alliance Headquarters, hereby impose a Causality Law Seal on you and your civilization.

As his words fell, the rules of the entire temple began to undergo drastic changes!

Chains composed of illusory, golden runes appeared out of thin air in the temple.

They ignored space, ignored energy, extending from dimensions higher than the fourth, emanating absolute and predetermined rules.

"Here, all faster-than-light travel is prohibited."

A chain flew out, merged into the void, and the space inside and outside the temple instantly became like solidified cement,

The theoretical foundation of any warp drive was erased from the underlying logic at this moment.

"Here, the use of all energy weapons is prohibited."

Another chain flew out, and the weapon systems of the Pangu and all Yanhuang warships had their energy circuit pathway concept forcibly defined as an open circuit.

"Here, the deployment of all dimensional technology is prohibited."

The third chain flew out, and the interface between four-dimensional and three-dimensional space was forcibly welded shut.

……

One after another, Causality Law chains continuously generated, their target being all core technologies on which the Yanhuang Civilization depends for survival and strength!

This is a relatively unsolvable attack.

It does not attack your warships, nor your shields; it directly attacks your technology tree.

It directly declares that your physics is wrong.

Your dimensional technology is ineffective.

This is the Causality Technology of an eighth-level civilization, "Words Become Law"!

Beside her, Wo Xi Ling had already turned pale.

She knew the Inspector was strong, but didn't expect him to be this strong!

Just a few words almost completely disarmed the entire military of a seventh-level peak civilization!

Yanhuang Civilization, it's over!

At this desperate moment, Qin Hao on the throne not only showed no panic,

but instead watched everything with interest, as if enjoying a splendid performance.

Until the last, and also the thickest, chain, emanating an aura of termination, flew toward him personally.

"Finally, here all…… thought operation is prohibited."

The Inspector spat out the final judgment.

He wanted to turn Qin Hao into a living dead unable to think.

At that very moment, the hitherto silent Qin Hao finally moved.

He didn't stand up, just lightly snapped his fingers.

"Pa."

The crisp sound was especially abrupt in the silent temple.

Immediately after, a clear, pleasant yet slightly lazy and dissatisfied female voice sounded from behind Qin Hao.

"I say, Dad, this guy is so noisy!"

Only seen, behind Qin Hao, space slightly fluctuated, a person wearing a white dress,

looking about sixteen or seventeen, with twin tails, a girl appeared out of thin air.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and was indeed Qin Hao's fourth daughter, extraordinarily logical—Qin Si.

At this moment, her face was full of displeasure.

The Inspector's pupils contracted sharply; he had completely failed to notice when this girl appeared!

Qin Si didn't even look at him, merely muttering dissatisfiedly, then offhandedly said to those dancing Causality Law chains:

"I say, all prohibitions here should be changed to double efficiency."

The moment her words fell.

The world changed.
