Chapter 528: A logic dead end with no gaps? Then I'll chisel it open myself!

This thing isn't alive.

Qin Si's will tensed.

Countless logic threads like probes stabbed into the opponent's data stream, analyzing at high speed.

Rather than calling it a lifeform, it's more like an antivirus program piled from countless death codes.

Its underlying instruction is only one.

Format all living things that want to enter the gray light sea.

Is this the last firewall left by the cosmic instinctual will?

Qin Hao's will sank.

Before us, this grave guardian stitched together from countless civilizations' remains has a rule mass that's terrifyingly heavy.

Even more absurd than the previous logic black hole.

It disdains to devour.

It plays assimilation.

It wants to turn us into a tombstone on its body, into a piece of cold, meaningless code in cosmic history.

【Warning: Concept entropy index detected surging exponentially.】

【Civilization's Sword's vital activity is being suppressed by dimensional reduction.】

【Expected in 17 seconds, everyone will enter a rule-based deadlock state.】

The Open Heaven System's red light exploded directly in everyone's minds.

Can't get entangled!

This thing's health bar is too thick, and it even reflects damage; draining it could exhaust the Yanhuang Civilization to death here.

17 seconds.

Life-and-death countdown.

Qin Hao's will instead entered an absolute rational sage mode.

Brain.

No, it's a super cloud brain gathering the entire civilization's computing power, frantically overclocking at faster-than-light frequencies.

Force a breakthrough?

No.

This thing's size is like blocking the whole entrance; a head‑on crash would only smash us to pieces.

Detour?

Even more ridiculous.

The death‑silence field covers the whole map, leaving no blind spots.

Then.

A crazy, even somewhat heretical thought flashed through Qin Hao's mind.

Since we can't smash through the wall nor climb over it,

then let's become air and slip through the cracks!

"Open Heaven!"

Qin Hao's will roared and shook.

"Reset the navigation algorithm immediately!"

【Please specify new coordinates.】

"Target unchanged! Still that cosmic hub!"

Qin Hao's gaze locked onto the gray light sea behind the giant, exuding a decaying aura; his eyes burned with the fervor of a gambler going all‑in.

"But we need to shift our posture for the jump!"

【Please explain the jump method.】

"We won't take the ordinary path!"

Qin Hao grinned.

"We'll drill straight into its body and jump from within!"

At that command, the countless souls inside the Civilization's Sword exploded in an uproar.

"Dad! You're exploiting a loophole!"

Qin Wu's will was about to split apart.

"Drill into that monster's body? That's like throwing a meat‑bun at a dog—we'll be assimilated in an instant!"

"No."

Qin Hao's voice was calm to a frightening degree, as if he'd seen through the universe's hand.

"You think it's an airtight wall."

"But in my eyes, it isn't."

"It's an image pieced together from countless pixels."

"Each civilization's remnant, each dead star, is an independent death‑coordinate point."

"Since it's assembled, no matter how tightly it's fitted, to maintain each part's independence there must be repulsion between the points, and thus a safe distance!"

"That distance could be smaller than the Planck scale by countless orders of magnitude."

"But as long as it exists, it's a path!"

"It's a path of life squeezed out between death and death!"

"All we need to do is compress ourselves smaller than those gaps and slide through!"

Compress a macroscopic cosmic civilization to an infinitesimal scale?

【Theory is feasible.】

Just as everyone's jaws dropped, Kaitian gave the most hardcore answer.

【Based on superstring theory models, multi-dimensional entities can undergo dimensional curling while preserving total information.】

【This operation requires compression algorithm precision at infinite singularity level; a single decimal mistake and it's all gone.】

"First save our lives, then talk!"

Qin Hao spoke with firm resolve.

"Kaitian, can you do it?"

【Yes.】

Kaitian's answer remained concise.

【The Zhou Tian star array operating at full power is enough to support such micro-manipulation.】

"Good!"

Qin Hao no longer wasted words.

"All hands, listen up! Fasten your seat belts!"

His will swept over every corner of the sword's body like an electric current, notifying every Yan-Huang descendant.

"Get ready for the most insane dimensional drift in history!"

"In an instant, we will shift from macroscopic giants to microscopic specters!"

"We will infiltrate the reverse side of space to steal its tower!"

"Leap! Target—the heart of the universe!"

Hum—!

As Qin Hao gave the order, the immense Civilization Sword underwent a strange change.

Its volume remained unchanged.

But its shape became thinner.

It was as if an invisible hand had forcibly pulled it from the three‑dimensional world, curling and folding it into a higher, deeper dimension.

The five‑thousand‑year history on the sword's body, those countless shining souls, were all packed and compressed into a singularity.

All of this happened so fast that even light couldn't react.

From the Tomb Keeper's external perspective, that daring little worm finally couldn't hold up under its stillness field.

The light quickly dimmed, as if it would go completely cold in the next second.

Its azure eye sockets' ghost fire flickered once, flashing a semblance of contempt.

Another clueless fool seeking death.

However, just before the Civilization Sword was about to go completely out.

It vanished.

It evaporated into thin air.

Like a file mistakenly deleted by a system administrator, it disappeared instantly.

The Tomb Keeper's ancient computational core stuttered for the first time.

It could not comprehend what had happened.

And inside its body,

in the narrow gap between countless death coordinates, so tight that even light couldn't squeeze through,

minute strings, faster than thought, were racing wildly!

Ignoring physical barriers, ignoring spatial distance.

This is the Civilization Sword's complete stealth form!

It became a single stream of information, wildly growing in the crevice between dimensions.

"Hold on!"

Inside the sword, Qin Hao bore the terrifying pressure of having his soul compressed into a cookie.

The starry sky had vanished, replaced by a sea of bizarre, fantastical code.

They were like data fish sprinting through undersea fiber‑optic cables, the surrounding pipe walls being lethal death‑on‑contact rules.

A slight tremor of the hand, touching the pipe wall, would mean the whole village feasting—i. e., death.

【Traversal progress: 10%……50%……80%……】

【Alert! Ahead lies the Tomb Keeper's core region!】

【This region is an absolute stillness point, gap density zero! The path is cut off!】

Kaitian's red‑text warning made everyone's consciousness tense.

No gap?

Wouldn't that mean being stuck alive in this monster's belly?

"No!"

Qin Hao's will burst forth with a blinding light.

That was the frenzy of humanity refusing to accept fate.

"No way? Then I'll carve one out myself!"

"Qin Si! Use your logic laws to force‑define a gap on its core for me!"

"Impossible! Its core logic is absolute death; my definition authority isn't enough, the system will reject it!" Qin Si's voice also grew urgent.

"Then don't define a gap!"

Qin Hao roared like thunder, directly flipping the table.

Go define itself!

Give me, in the 0.000...... 1 second moment, to alter its core attribute from absolute death to absolute life!

In the extremely short time of life‑death conversion, logic must be mutually exclusive!

Then use this logical loophole produced by the mutual exclusivity to let its core rip open a gap!

We'll drill through!
