Translation: "Hum——!"

A beam surpassing light speed, disregarding causality, even transcending existence, erupted from the array of the Yan-Huang civilization.

Translation: "A beam surpassing light speed, disregarding causality, even transcending existence, erupted from the formation of the Yanhuang Civilization."

Zero-dimensional, it was violently pulled into a one-dimensional line.

Translation: "Zero dimension was violently pulled into a one‑dimensional line."

That line stretched across the starry sky, cutting everything in the field of view in half.

A gorgeous, bizarre scroll unfurled above everyone's head, flowing with ancient physical laws long absent from the real universe, the afterglow of the early Big Bang.

Translation: "A gorgeous, bizarre scroll unfurled above everyone's head, flowing with ancient physical laws long extinct in the real universe—the afterglow of the Big Bang's inception."

Translation: "Finally, the two‑dimensional surface overloaded, exploded, and jumped to three dimensions!"

Boom!!

Translation: "Boom——!!"

Above the Divine Relics Garden, a firework exploded.

Translation: "Above the Miracle Garden, a firework exploded."

But this firework is a universe.

Translation: "But that firework was a universe."

A newly born universe still in its inflationary epoch.

Translation: "A newly born universe still in its inflationary phase."

Under the procedure, it was forcibly blasted out of that dead singularity.

Translation: "Under the procedure, it was forcibly blasted out of that dead‑silence singularity!"

Countless newborn stars flickered within, purple nebulae winding like ribbons, matter and energy were created in the frenzied collisions.

Originally came to destroy everything——death,

Qin Hao forcibly turned it into——life.

One second ago it was still the hell of all things returning to zero; the next second it became the site of the creation Miracle.

"Phew……The surgery was successful, stone passage smooth."

Qin Hao shook his hand, pointing at that gorgeous newborn nebula.

"Please look, everyone."

"This is the result of not caring about cosmic environmental protection. The patient's stones have been successfully shattered, and through drainage technique, transformed into a harmless scenic view."

"Although it looks pretty, having it inside the body is a disaster, easily causing cosmic endocrine disorder."

"From now on, everyone should take this as a warning: drink more water, exercise more, and avoid those bad habits that at the drop of a hat cause the world to revert to zero."

In the distance, those civilizational leaders who had originally closed their eyes awaiting death now each gaped with open mouths, the sound of dislocated jaws rising and falling.

Is this the legendary End?

Is that the strike that makes ninth-level civilizations tremble at the mere news, capable of rebooting the universe?

Now it's been made into fireworks?

Even worse, it might be used as a negative example and criticized universe-wide?

Qin Hao had his hands behind his back, gazing at the slowly rotating microcosmos, his pupils reflecting the rebirth of billions of stars.

Want to reset the world?

Not even a chance.

In my Qin Hao's place, even if the Grim Reaper came, he'd have to honestly pay the registration fee, finish the checkup before leaving!

……

Billions of light-years away.

That pitch-black chessboard space.

The entire chessboard appeared cracked.

The End's Master, who had been sitting cross-legged there, rose to his feet.

The two deep black holes in his eye sockets were now violently trembling and frantically contracting inward, as if he had seen some monster beyond comprehension.

"This……is illogical."

The End's Master's voice was hoarse and grating, like two rusted iron plates scraping against each other.

He had pursued this truth his whole life.

He firmly believed the universe's ultimate fate was heat death, i. e., returning to zero.

All his efforts were merely to delay that endpoint's arrival, or to make it come more dignified.

In his view, civilization is a virus, the culprit accelerating entropy increase.

Only death is eternal tranquility.

But just now.

That human called Qin Hao, in a nearly humiliating way, shattered his truth.

He actually created life from absolute death.

He reversed the ultimate entropy increase (return to zero) into negative entropy (creation).

"My Dao……is wrong?"

The End's Master lowered his head, looking at his own withered hands.

These hands were stained with the blood of countless civilizations.

He had always thought this was a merciful euthanasia, helping the universe clean house.

But if……

What if the patient actually doesn't need to die?

What if the universe that has been accelerating death can actually be healed?

Just as the End's Master's Dao-heart was about to shatter.

Whoosh.

A blade of light and shadow tore open dimensions without warning, descending upon this absolute forbidden zone.

Here, the rules dare not reject him.

Qin Hao still wore a white coat, clutching a thick medical record under his arm, like a chief physician making rounds entering his own backyard, and directly confronted the End's Master's face.

Slap!

The medical record was casually flung onto the chessboard representing cosmic order, shaking the ongoing game into chaos, and several pieces rolled clattering into the abyss.

"End's Master, male, elderly. Occupation: grave keeper part-time quack doctor."

Qin Hao completely ignored the opponent's terrifying aura, didn't even glance at this cosmic supreme being, and just read out the medical record to himself.

"Diagnosed symptoms: severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, destructive delusion, logical dead loop, and……"

He suddenly lifted his head; his black-and-white distinct eyes showed no reverence, only the frustration of looking at a poor student.

"Excessive fear of heat death."

"Old man, you're seriously ill."

The End's Master stared at Qin Hao.

The surrounding darkness instinctively wanted to devour this uninvited guest, but was repelled by an invisible defense when it came within three meters of Qin Hao.

That wasn't power.

It was a crushing of Life Level.

"You……what do you understand?"

The Lord of the End's voice was low and heavy, bearing the wear of ages.

"Entropy increase is irreversible; the universe is like a pile of burning bonfire, the more prosperous civilization, the brighter the fire burns, and the faster it extinguishes. I am helping the universe conserve fuel, so this fire can burn a bit longer."

"Conserving fuel?"

Qin Hao snorted, directly interrupting him, "You are completely wrong."
