Chapter 517: Make the Destructive Cataclysm Behave

Everyone's gaze focused on Qin An.

He is a somewhat shy-looking youth, compared with his several sharp‑edged older brothers and sisters,

Qin An's temperament is more like that of a neighborhood big boy—gentle, pure, and full of affability.

In previous battles, his role was mostly supportive,

responsible for soothing the populace's emotions and dispelling inner demons, like a priest in a team.

No one expected,

that at this strategic‑level meeting about ultimate weapon modification, he would speak up voluntarily.

"An'er, you speak."

A encouraging smile appeared on Qin Hao's face.

He has always dote on this son whose heart is the softest.

"Yes."

Qin An, a bit nervous, still spoke clearly: "The older brothers and sisters all say that the essence of this Rule Black Hole is chaos and destruction, so it is hard to control."

"But what I feel seems different."

"Oh? What did you sense?"

Qin Hao asked curiously.

"What I sense is hunger," Qin An's voice was soft yet clearly reached the depths of everyone's souls.

"Hunger?"

"Yes."

Qin An nodded.

"A most primal hunger for all existence. It does not destroy out of malice, but because it is starving, it must devour."

"It is like a newborn infant without reason, only knowing to express its instinct through wailing and swallowing."

This perspective left everyone stunned.

They all regard the Rule Black Hole as an enemy, as a weapon, as a mine.

Only Qin An,

this boy with the purest affability, sensed a trace of the original life instinct amid that endless destructive malice?

"So then?"

Qin Hao pressed further, his eyes growing brighter.

"So I think we perhaps need not control it, nor modify it."

Qin An's reasoning became clearer: "We only need to feed it to fullness."

"Feed it to fullness?"

Qin Wu said irritably, "What shall we use to feed it? Its appetite is such that even filling it with the entire universe wouldn't be enough!"

"No, that's enough."

Qin An shook his head and looked toward the fully solidified, radiant 【Absolute Defense】 barrier.

"Didn't Dad just irrigate the entire Safe Zone with Rule Primordial Soup a moment ago? Now our home has become an eternal ecosystem where energy and rules are highly self‑consistent and cyclically regenerative."

"Within this ecosystem, endless energy derivatives and rule waste are produced daily. To us they are trash, but to that black hole they might be the most delicious food."

"My idea is..."

A spark of wisdom flickered in Qin An's eyes.

"We could keep it, like a pet egg, outside our Safe Zone. Using a rule conduit, we would regularly and quantitatively feed it the trash we generate each day."

"That way, once it's full, it won't wander around devouring other things."

"And we would possess the perfect 'Cosmic Waste Processor', and also a most loyal and powerful watchdog!"

"When we need to strike the enemy, we simply pause the feeding. A starving Rule Black Hole, guided by us and hurled forward, I think no foe could resist its appetite."

The hall fell dead silent.

One could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was shaken by Qin An's wildly imaginative yet compassionate and wise pet‑raising plan, leaving them both stunned and exhilarated.

Modify?

No, we don't modify.

We domesticate!

Turning an ultimate cataclysm capable of destroying the universe into our own watchdog and waste processor?

What a divine brain loop!?

After a long while.

"Ha ha… ha ha ha ha!"

Qin Hao was the first to break the silence, laughing loudly, his body shaking with mirth.

He walked up to Qin An, ruffled his son's hair, his face full of pride and satisfaction.

"Good kid! Well said! Truly worthy of being my son, Qin Hao's son!"

"All that fighting and killing is too crude! We are civilized people, we value sustainable development and ecological cycles!"

"Then let's do it!"

Qin Hao immediately gave his approval.

"Qin An! This cosmic pet‑raising plan is yours to oversee fully! The Academy of Sciences and the Logistics Department will fully cooperate with you!"

"Yes! Dad!"

A happy smile spread across Qin An's face.

Soon, under Qin An's command, a project that left all onlookers baffled began.

A massive semi‑transparent pipe composed of raw Rule slurry,

extending from the Absolute Defense barrier, it reached the edge of that half Rule black hole.

Then, within the safety zone, energy purification stations and Rule filtering plants were erected one after another.

All waste generated by life activities, industrial production, and scientific experiments throughout the safety zone was gathered and continuously pumped through the pipe into that Rule black hole.

At first,

the Rule black hole initially scoffed at this offered food and tried to break free from the pipe's restraint.

But under Qin An's soothing and persuasive pure spiritual force, gentle as spring rain, its ferocious instinct truly began to calm down.

It tentatively devoured a mouthful of food delivered through the pipe.

Then it could not stop.

Although the nutritional value of this food was far lower than directly devouring planets and Rules,

it had the advantage of being endless, and the taste wasn't bad, right?

Gradually it stopped struggling, and like a dog tethered at the doorway, it obediently stayed there, awaiting its master's daily feeding.

A crisis that could have annihilated the entire universe was thus resolved in a way that no one anticipated, full of absurdity and warmth,

completely eliminated.

And the golden Absolute Defense barrier, at this moment, finally completed its final sealing and reinforcement.

Buzz—

A grand hum from the dawn of the universe resonated throughout the safety zone.

That immensely thick golden barrier,

at this moment gathered all its light, became semi‑transparent, and finally vanished completely.

As if it had never existed.

Yet everyone within could clearly feel,

an invisible, formless yet absolutely indestructible membrane had isolated them from the outside universe, which was resetting to zero.

Within this membrane, starlight glittered, life thrived, and time was tranquil.

Beyond the membrane lay dark, deathly silence, an eternal void where even concepts were fading away.

A wall apart, two worlds.

"Report, Commander."

The voice of the Fuxi Mainframe sounded at that moment, solemn and austere.

"Absolute Defense system is now officially online."

"Yanhuang Civilization — Absolute Safety Zone."

"Officially completed today!"
