Chapter 512

Qin Hao's remark about building materials was like a mental bomb, detonating in everyone's soul network.

The thoughts that had frozen from fear a second ago were, at this moment, blown into chaos by this earth-shattering, outrageous statement.

Building... materials?

We're about to have our home torn apart by this thing, and you call it building material?

"Dad... you're not joking, are you?"

Qin Wu was the first to voice his doubt on the private channel, his palms sweaty as he gripped his conceptual armament.

"Its destructive power is more than a level above those white blood cells before! It's not energy, not rule, but pure nothing! How can it be a material?"

"Idiot third brother! Dad has never joked like this!"

Qin Si's voice followed closely, though also full of shock, she seemed to have faintly grasped something.

"Dad means the essence of these cracks is the negative of cosmic rules! Just like a coin has two sides, they are the holes in this great sheet of paper that is the universe!

"We just need to patch these holes, and we'll obtain the fibers that make up this sheet of paper!"

"Patch?"

Qin Wu still didn't quite understand.

"Oh, it's just eat! Dad means we should go eat the holes!"

Qin Si stamped her feet in anxiety.

Listening to his children's discussion, Qin Hao laughed.

As expected of his own offspring, their minds work fast.

"Si Si got half of it right."

He spoke leisurely on the public channel, his voice carrying an air of nonchalant mastery: "These black cracks are indeed the negative produced when cosmic rules collapse, but they are not holes, they are necrotic tissue."

Qin Hao began his medical popular science again.

"In a healthy body, when tissue necroses, it is either cleared by the immune system or left inside, turning into an abscess.

"And in our universe now, the immune system has been recruited by us, yet it runs a high fever and is delirious. These necrotic tissues, unattended, have become the rampant rule‑cancer cells we see today."

"Their purpose is to infect and destroy healthy tissue, which is the wall we have yet to build."

"But!"

"Qin Hao shifted his tone, his voice suddenly rising: "What is the essence of a cancer cell? It is also a cell! It contains the most primordial life information and energy!"

"As long as we can remove its carcinogenic logic from within, isn't what remains just nourishing nutrients?"

This theory once again refreshed everyone's worldview.

To liken the world‑destroying rules' backlash to edible cancer cells?

This train of thought… no, this appetite—how did it even develop?

"You mean… we can digest them?"

The Lord of the End's voice was hoarse; he felt that the knowledge system he had built over hundreds of millions of years was being smashed to pieces by Qin Hao with a great hammer.

"Digest? No, we are doctors; we should be more refined."

"Qin Hao corrected, "This is called lesion excision and resource recycling."

"But how do we excise their carcinogenic logic?"

The Lord of the End posed the most critical question.

"Well asked."

Qin Hao's gaze fell upon his several eager children.

"The logic of these cancer cells is simple: destruction and disorder. What do we have?"

"Qin Wu!"

"Here!"

"What is your conceptual armament?"

Qin Wu blinked, then his eyes burst with brilliant light as he shouted, "It is suppression! It is order!"

"Qin Si!"

"What is your ability?"

Qin Si puffed out her small chest and proudly declared, "It is definition and logic!"

"Do you see it?"

Qin Hao's voice rang through the entire fleet: "Use our order to counter its disorder! Use our logic to cover its destruction!"

"It's not brick, but we can smash it into sand and mix it into cement! It's not building material, but we can eat it, and what we convert it into is the best fertilizer!"

"……"

The whole venue fell silent.

This metaphor is getting more and more outrageous,

and also becoming more and more… easy to understand.

"I understand!"

Qin Wu was the first to respond, his belligerent blood already boiling over.

"Dad, I'll go first!"

Without waiting for Qin Hao's approval, his whole body turned into a golden stream of light, actively charging toward the nearest black crack that was frantically tearing at the golden bulwark!

"Qin Wu!"

Qin Zheng turned pale with shock.

"You're risking your life!" Wo Xi Ling screamed.

In everyone's astonished gaze, Qin Wu showed no hesitation, charging straight in!

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Qin Wu's figure, at the moment it touched the black rift, was like clear water in a drop of ink,

swiftly swallowed and drowned by that all-consuming void.

It's over!

Everyone's heart gave a sudden jolt.

Even Qin Hao instinctively clenched his fists.

But the next second.

Just as that black rift was about to completely erase Qin Wu, a domineering roar exploded from the rift's deepest depths!

"Let me—set it!"

Hum—!

A golden ripple, formed purely from the concept of order, burst outward from within the rift!

That originally violent, chaotic, constantly twisting black rift,

seemed to be clenched tightly by an invisible giant hand, and actually solidified in the void!

Immediately after, Qin Wu's golden figure stepped out of the rift step by step.

He was unharmed, merely a little pale in the face, but his eyes shone terrifyingly bright,

filled with excitement.

"Hahaha! So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

He burst out laughing.

"The core of this thing is just a tangled mess! As long as we impose a stronger will and forcibly define a center point for it, it won't be able to stay chaotic!"

He turned his head, gazing at the black rift he had fixed in place, a flash of greed crossing his eyes.

"Now it's just a piece of meat on a chopping board!"

Having said that, he backhandedly slashed, driving the Concept Armament Soul-Repressing fiercely into the solidified rift.

"Break—apart!"

Crack! Crack!

The black rift, under the repeated chopping of the Soul-Repressing, began to break apart inch by inch.

But it did not dissipate; instead, it turned into countless fragments like pure black crystal.

Among these fragments, there was no longer that chaotic, destructive aura,

only a rich primordial energy remained.

"Science Academy! What are you standing around for? Come collect the goods!"

Qin Wu roared loudly.

The waiting research fleet surged forward, countless tractor beams shooting out, dragging those black crystal fragments back,

directly sending them into the Energy Conversion Matrix that was powering the Absolute Defense wall.

Boom!

The energy reading of the conversion matrix leapt upward by a large amount!

The golden wall, which had grown somewhat dim from the attack, blazed brightly after receiving this energy boost,

becoming even brighter and more solid than before!

It's done!

It really worked!

Everyone stared dumbfounded.

This… this actually works?!

Smash the enemy's attack, then use it as fuel to reinforce our own defense?!

What kind of unreasonable fighting style is this?!

"Did you see that?"

Qin Hao's voice sounded at just the right moment, full of smugness.

"Don't waste free building materials!"

"Stop staring! Get to work! Smear all this cement that's been delivered to our door onto the walls!"

"Our goal is——"

He paused, then shouted in an extremely infuriating tone:

"Let the cosmic instinct will build us the sturdiest house in the world!"
