Chapter 539: I Am the Universe
This inference, though without any evidence, is nevertheless the most logical.
"Exactly!"
"That's right! He's scared! He's scared of us!"
"Turns out he isn't invincible either!"
A sense of relief at having survived a catastrophe quickly spread through the collective consciousness network.
Qin Hao didn't stop, continuing to strike while the iron was hot.
"He gave us six hours."
"These six hours aren't meant for us to wait for death."
"This is the biggest flaw he exposed due to his timidity and caution!"
"This is our only chance!"
Qin Hao's will became exceedingly high-spirited.
"Since he doesn't dare come in, then we'll... go out and strike!"
"Go out and strike?"
Qin Wu's will surged with excitement: "How do we strike? We don't even know where he is now!"
"We don't need to know where he is."
Qin Hao's gaze once again turned to the converging seal ring.
"This wall is his weapon, his tentacle."
"If we can't hit his person, can we still hit his hand?"
"As long as we can smash a hole in this wall before it fully closes!"
"Then we can rush out through that hole!"
"Once we reach the vaster expanse of the Cosmic Sea, catching us again won't be so easy!"
"Smash the wall?"
Qin Zheng raised the key question: "We now possess the power of the entire universe, but this power is essentially two-dimensional; can we break through that three-dimensional wall?"
"Relying solely on ourselves, of course not."
Qin Hao admitted, then shifted his tone.
"But what if our universe itself were upgraded?"
"What if we went from a two-dimensional universe to a three-dimensional one?"
"What?!"
This idea left everyone puzzled about what it meant.
"Let the universe upgrade itself?"
"How could that be possible?"
"Nothing is impossible."
Qin Hao's tone became utterly resolute.
"The universe we just seized is too old and aged, its functions deteriorated, and the previous owner left it full of bugs."
"Like an old computer loaded with viruses and junk software."
"We are now the new owners of this computer, and we have two options."
"First, spend time removing viruses, cleaning junk, applying patches, fixing those corrupted underlying parameters.
Perhaps after several million or tens of millions of years it could run normally, but we don't have that time."
"So we are left with only the second option."
Qin Hao's mind was filled with the frenzy of "break and rebuild."
"No more repairs."
"Just format and reinstall!"
"Clear out all data, programs, and junk from this old computer, whether good or bad!"
"Then, using the collective will of our Yanhuang Civilization as a seed, and the most fundamental matter and energy absorbed from the energy broth as nutrients..."
"... we will create a brand-new, healthy universe entirely our own upon this ruin!"
"A new universe that is three-dimensional, even four-dimensional, from the moment of its birth!"
"At the moment the new universe breaks out of its shell, the creative force it generates will be the power we use to smash open that seal wall!"
As soon as this plan was proposed, everyone began contemplating its feasibility.
"Create... a universe?"
Qian Yin's mind was all agitated.
"The theory is sound! With source code and raw materials, we could truly play god!"
"Haha, Dad, this idea is great!"
Qin Wu was the first to roar out.
"Hesitating isn't our style! Break and rebuild! Damn it! Out with the old, in with the new!"
"I agree too."
Qin Si followed closely after.
"Using creation to counter the seal is itself the supreme logical suppression; we are destined to win!"
"For the new universe!"
"For Yanhuang!"
The will of hundreds of millions of Yanhuang converged into an unstoppable torrent.
This is a high‑stakes gamble.
The stake is the entire civilization.
"Fine."
Feeling this overwhelming resolve, Qin Hao also became excited.
"Heaven Opening!"
"Initiate the Genesis Project!"
【Command confirmed.】
The sound of Heaven Opening rang out.
【Step One: Collapse Core.】
【Please merge the seed of civilization into a Genesis Singularity.】
"Understood."
Qin Hao showed no hesitation.
He spread his arms, his will tightly embracing the seed that bore five thousand years of history, technology, and emotion.
The next second.
His own body began to contract.
He relinquished control over the old universe.
All light and heat collapsed infinitely toward the central point.
Outside.
G-37 Division.
The Snail Evening Spirit let out a terrified scream.
"Crazy? Is he self‑destructing?"
The Great Reset, which had halted, erupted again, a hundred times fiercer than the previous universe‑instinct trigger.
The entire universe was wildly annihilating toward the central point.
Stars turned to dust, space turned to void.
This time there would be no restoration, only destruction.
The Lord of the End stared fixedly at the collapsing core.
His soul trembled.
It was not fear.
It was a glimpse of a Miracle.
"No."
"This is not destruction."
"This is creation."
Within that singularity where all things converge, a speck of golden, infinitely possible vitality was being nurtured.
【Step Two: Inject Nutrients.】
【Transforming remnants of the old universe…】
Qin Hao felt as if he had become a fetus.
The corpse of the entire old universe turned into the purest umbilical cord blood, continuously flooding his body.
His mass expanded wildly at a speed that defied physical laws.
【Step Three: Set Parameters.】
【Please set the fundamental physical constants of the new universe.】
Countless options floated in his mind.
What should the speed of light be?
How many dimensions?
What direction should time flow?
"No upper limit to light speed! As long as information can reach, matter arrives instantly!"
"Space is based on eleven dimensions, freely rising and falling!"
"Time is reversible, can be halted!"
"Physical constants are no longer rigid rules, they move with the will of civilization!"
"The most important one..."
Qin Hao's consciousness became unprecedentedly clear.
"In this home, the law of entropy increase is nullified."
"Rewrite it as the civilization entropy‑decrease law!"
"The more prosperous the civilization, the more ordered the universe."
"We are no longer parasites; we are the heart!"
【Parameters locked.】
【Final confirmation complete.】
【Step Four…】
【Genesis, initiate!】
Boom—!!!
As the final command fell.
That singularity, formed from Qin Hao's will and having absorbed the essence of the entire old universe, suddenly burst open.
It was a blossoming so grand it could not be described.
A new universe brimming with infinite vitality burst forth from the corpse of the old era!
This newborn force violently collided with the converging higher-dimensional seal.
That was the power of creation.
It was the most unreasonable newborn sunrise.
Rip—!
The higher-dimensional wall that had driven the Lord of End to despair, before this force, was like a soggy piece of toilet paper.
It was easily torn open, leaving a huge rift!
"Success!"
"We've broken out!"
The cheers of the Yanhuang Civilization echoed through the newborn universe.
This moment.
Qin Hao felt himself everywhere.
He was the starry sky of this new universe, its laws, light and time, cause and effect destiny.
