Chapter 511: The Xuanyuan Sword Becomes Dao, Using Civilization's Will to Forge a Heavenly Moat

"Build... build a wall?"

Wo Xiling hadn't even come to her senses when she heard Qin Hao's casual remark.

She instinctively grabbed the armrest of the command seat.

Not just her; all civilizations trapped within the Absolute Defense were now caught in a strange mix of extreme terror and manic excitement.

What they were about to witness might be a civilization launching the craziest, most magnificent challenge against the entire universe.

Victory would mean carving out a kingdom and birthing new life amidst the apocalypse.

Defeat would mean eternal ruin, wiping out this star field completely clean.

"Dad..."

Qin Zheng's voice came through Qin Hao's private channel; usually steady, he could hardly hide the tremor in his voice: 'Are you really going to bet everything?'

What he meant by 'everything' was not just the energy reserves, but the fate of the entire Yanhuang Civilization.

If the construction of Absolute Defense fails, or if they cannot withstand the subsequent rule reshaping, their energy exhausted, they will have no power left to resist.

"Do we have a choice?"

Qin Hao's reply was calm.

"Behind us are countless Yanhuang compatriots, allies who trust us. Beneath our feet lies the land we have won inch by inch."

"When the flood comes, if we don't build our own levees, are we supposed to hope the flood will have mercy and flow around us?"

"In the Yanhuang dictionary, there are no words for \"leave it to fate. \""

"Our destiny lies only in our own hands!"

These words were not just for Qin Zheng to hear, but for all Yanhuang compatriots, and even for Qin Hao himself.

He stared at the glaring one hundred gou down payment on the system panel, his attitude resolute.

"System, activate the Concept Creation Agreement, construct the Absolute Defense Rule Framework!"

【Command confirmed: Initiate Concept Creation.】

【Deducted one hundred gou Energy Points.】

【Absolute Defense Rule Framework construction begins!】

Boom——!!!

At the moment of system confirmation, the Xuanyuan steel pen on Qin Hao's chest suddenly burst forth with billions of rays of brilliant golden light!

It was no longer a pen; it disassembled and reassembled into a heaven‑piercing, earth‑splitting giant sword!

Along the blade, the billions‑year history of Yanhuang Civilization, from slash‑and‑burn farming to the sea of stars, unfurled like a scroll.

Countless martyrs' heroic spirits roared within it, and the will of countless compatriots gathered.

This sword is the Dao of Yanhuang Civilization!

"With my will as the core and the civilization's sword as the cornerstone!"

Qin Hao roared, fusing his soul completely with the Xuanyuan Sword.

Hum!

The giant sword shot up, piercing the dome of the Miracle Garden and hovering at the exact center of the safe zone he had drawn.

Immediately, a surging golden heavenly river burst forth from the Origin Crucible of the Miracle Garden, wildly pouring into the blade of the Xuanyuan Sword.

The tip of the Xuanyuan Sword began to drip downward liquid—Rule Primordial Fluid.

Each drop of the fluid contained the supreme concepts of absolute, inviolable protection.

The fluid fell.

It merged directly into the substrate of space.

Then a miracle occurred.

Centered on the point where that drop of fluid fell, a golden wall as fine as a thread yet indestructible began to spread through the void.

It ignored distance, it ignored dimension.

Like a bug that appeared out of nowhere, it forcibly divided cosmic space into inside and outside.

Wherever the wall passed, whether stars, nebulae, or spatial rifts, it pierced through them without hindrance.

It reacted with neither matter nor energy, simply declaring its existence there in an unreasonable way.

"Is this Absolute Defense?"

Lord of End widened his eyes, wanting to use his divine sense to analyze that golden wall, but his divine sense, upon contacting the wall,

was directly bounced back by a gentle force.

This feeling was more frightening than a direct attack.

This indicated that the wall's logic priority far exceeded what he could comprehend.

It is not a product of this universe!

Whoosh——

On the Xuanyuan Sword, more Rule Primordial Fluid poured down like a downpour, merging into the ever‑extending golden wall.

The wall's spreading speed grew ever faster, from a line to a surface,

then from a plane, forming a perfect sphere in all directions.

It was like an enormous golden soap bubble, slowly being inflated to completely envelop the entire safe zone Qin Hao had previously drawn.

And just as the soap bubble was about to close completely.

A sudden anomaly arose!

The paused, silent universe finally detected the existence of this illegal construction.

The universe's instinctive will was enraged once again!

Boom!

The entire dark cosmic background shuddered violently!

A will far more violent and chaotic than the previous reset command awakens!

If the previous reset was a ruthless formatting,

then now it's like a virus-addled patient, frantically pounding his own head with his fists!

Black, tentacle-like rifts in the rules are born from the void,

Like a pack of sharks smelling blood, they frenziedly tear at the golden circle about to close!

They seek to prevent the formation of the Absolute Defense!

"Oh no! It's a backlash of the rules!"

"The Lord of Terminus shrieked, 'The universe itself is rejecting this nascent rule! It wants to strangle it in the cradle!'"

Those black rifts are void blades born when cosmic rules collapse; each can easily slice a black hole and annihilate a star system.

At this moment, countless such rifts concentrate fire on the not-yet-fully-formed golden circle.

Crack!

A clear sound of shattering glass rang out in everyone's souls.

On that golden wall, a massive black rift tore open a gap!

Although the gap is being swiftly repaired thanks to the energy replenishment of the Xuanyuan Sword, this is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous signal!

The down payment's energy is only enough to build the framework.

And now the universe itself is carrying out a forced demolition of this illegal structure!

"Hold on! Hold on for me!"

Qin Hao's eyes turned blood-red as he poured all his soul power into the Xuanyuan Sword without reservation,

accelerating the generation of the rule's primordial fluid.

But the black rifts are too many, endless, as if all the malice of the entire universe has gathered here.

The golden circle sways on the verge of collapse under the storm-like assault, flickering bright and dim.

"What do we do… are we going to fail?"

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of the valley.

At this critical moment.

Qin Hao, however, suddenly laughed.

He raised his head, gazing at the black rifts madly attacking the bulwark, his eyes not filled with despair but with greed?

"I understand…"

He muttered to himself.

"System, you old fox, you were waiting for me here all along."

"What installment payments…"

"You never expected me to honestly repay the loan from the start, did you?"

He suddenly raised his head and let out a deafening roar at everyone:

"What are you all standing around for?!"

"Can't you see? Those out there aren't enemies! They're building materials!"

"It's the universe, this deadbeat, delivering free bricks to us!"

"Qin Zheng! Qin Wu! Pull out all those white blood cell legions we just remodeled!"

"Make me devour all these black rifts! Convert them into energy to add bricks and tiles to our wall!"

"Today I will make the whole universe see!"

Qin Hao's gaze pierced the wavering bulwark, staring straight into the deepest darkness of the universe.

"What does it mean to use local materials and sustain war through war?!"

"The harder you hit me, the sturdier my wall becomes!"

"Today I am the Heaven's Principle!"
