Chapter 533: Taking the Big Bang as a tonic

Qin Hao started making big promises, wanting to talk feelings and future with this emotionless system.

【……】

The system fell silent.

After a long while, a line of text popped up.

【Detected that the host is making fraudulent business promises; currently available system function: balance inquiry.】

Damn it!

Qin Hao couldn't hold back any longer.

This damned system won't budge!

Now I can only check the balance?

What's the difference between this and chopping off my hands and feet!

Qin Hao's heart sank.

Without the system, this biggest cheat, not to mention drinking porridge, I don't even know how to proceed.

Do I really have to rely on myself, gritting my teeth to figure something out?

Inside the Civilization Sword, Qian Yin and the others sensed the violent fluctuations in Qin Hao's will.

Dad, what's wrong?

Qin Zheng asked concernedly.

What problem occurred?

How can I say this?

Say my credit card was stopped, I can't afford utensils?

Do I still want my glorious image?

Cough cough.

Qin Hao forced himself to calm down, putting on an inscrutable façade.

No problem.

I'm just pondering a deeper philosophical question.

A philosophical question?

Qin Wu's will was completely bewildered.

Yes.

Qin Hao spoke nonsense with a straight face.

I'm thinking, when we have tools that can easily obtain everything, will we thus lose the drive for our own evolution?

Does excessive reliance on external objects make civilization itself fragile?

Qin Hao paused, his tone becoming impassioned.

So, I've decided not to use any tools this time.

We will use our own strength, with the mouths of our Yanhuang Civilization, to taste the fruits of victory!

He said it so convincingly that even he almost believed it.

Sure enough, after hearing Qin Hao's words, the entire collective consciousness network erupted.

As expected of Commander Qin! His perspective is on another level!

Exactly! Our Yanhuang Civilization relies on ourselves! Not some illusory tool!

Using our own mouths to eat! That's inspiring! Let's do it!

Watching the excited populace, my heart bled.

I don't want this either!

It's not like we have no choice!

But... Father.

Qin Si's will carried a hint of worry.

Without tools, what should we do? The suction of that energy vortex is too strong.

Once our sword body gets close, it will be sucked in.

By then, it won't be us eating it; it will be eating us.

Who said we have to approach with our sword body?

Since the system is unreliable, we can only rely on ourselves.

Fortunately, while spouting nonsense just now, a bold idea actually popped into my mind.

We are the Civilization Sword, right?

Formed from countless souls, five thousand years of history, innumerable technology and culture, a conceptual composite, right?

Yes.

Qin Zheng replied.

Then why do we confine ourselves to the fixed form of a sword?

Qin Hao's will began to sharpen.

The sword is merely our combat form!

Now, it's mealtime!

We should switch to a dining form!

Dining... form?

Qin Wu's will became even more dazed.

Open Heaven!

I directly called that reliable super AI.

I'm here.

Immediately deconstruct and reconstruct the structure of the Civilization Sword! Form a huge digestive system, call it the Ruins Furnace!

Our history and culture become teeth and esophagus, responsible for chewing and grinding those most stubborn rule fragments!

Technology, especially soul technology and information technology, becomes countless probes, or rather, tubes!

We will become a Leviathan beast with infinite suction!

No need to approach that vortex; we extend our tubes from afar.

Suck up that pot of energy porridge, not a drop left!

This crazy yet concrete idea, through the deduction of the Kaitian System, turned into a clear dynamic structural diagram, appearing in everyone's consciousness.

They saw,

That invincible Civilization Sword was rapidly melting and deforming.

The main body of the sword turned into a furnace burning with golden flames inside.

The hilt and blade decomposed into billions of fine, tough, rune‑glimmering golden tendrils!

These tendrils seemed to have a life of their own.

They unfurled and danced in the void, emitting a heart‑pounding extreme craving for energy and information!

It really became……

Qian Yin exclaimed in admiration.

This is true concept armament!

According to combat needs, freely switch one's existence form! It's simply beautiful!

Cool! So cool!

Qin Wu roared excitedly.

I feel like I am a tendril now! Full of power! I want to suck something!

【Form switch complete.】

【Ruins Leviathan mode activated.】

【Billions of primal suction tubes ready.】

The voice of the Kaitian System marked the successful switch to the dining form.

Good.

Qin Hao could feel a new sense of control welling up.

Now it is no longer a sharp sword.

But a greedy mouth.

Well then… let's eat!

Suck for me!

At the command!

Those trillions of primal suction tubes forged from technology and civilization, like billions of awakening golden divine dragons, tore through the void!

They spanned the vast distance, plunging headfirst into the energy vortex representing the Big Bang!

Hum——

Strands of chaotic will and logic cosmic primal energy, along these billions of tubes, were continuously drawn out!

No!!!

The terrified, desperate cry of the cosmic instinctual will rang out again!

It felt it was being drained!

That cosmic Big Bang meant for self‑destruction has truly become a buffet feast prepared for the Yanhuang Civilization!

It desperately struggled, trying to sever those tubes.

But all its power was restrained by its own explosion, unable to mount any effective resistance!

It could only watch helplessly as its accumulations over hundreds of millions of years leaked out through those damned tubes.

Quick… quick stop…

We… we are about to be drained…

Its wail grew ever weaker, full of despair.

And in the Ruins Furnace,

all Yanhuang descendants were bathing in this extremely pure energy spring.

They involuntarily emitted waves of satisfied thought.

So awesome! This feeling is ten thousand times better than before ascension!

Not just energy, it also contains much information, including the primitive framework for constructing this universe,

forming the causality of all things. Vast as smoke‑filled seas, surpassing anything any civilization could comprehend.

Exactly, the essence of gravity is the gradient manifestation of spacetime curvature!

No, wrong, that's just the surface; its root is……

A physicist from the Academy of Sciences, upon contacting this information the next second, expressed an insight,

a problem that had troubled him for thousands of years was resolved at this moment.
