Chapter 550: The System Actually Shares the Same Origin with the Blue Universe

However, Qin Hao's mood was unusually calm.

"Second Brother, seal the dimension! Third Brother, hold down its corpse, don't let a drop of oil leak out! Eldest Brother, collect all the rule fragments!"

Qin Hao ordered.

"Don't worry, Dad! Once it's in my pot, even if it turns to ash, it won't escape!"

Qin Wu laughed, the dark red war god's phantom suddenly swelled, his hands reaching into the void, as if kneading an enormous dough,

He forcibly squeezed and gathered back the galaxy clouds that were exploding and dispersing energy due to losing their core.

The violent energy became docile in his hands, those rule storms capable of tearing apart a normal universe,

were directly suppressed by his brute force.

Qin Zheng was more meticulous, he remained silent,

but countless crystal-clear spatial crystal walls rose from the edges of the Yanhuang Universe, layer upon layer.

Completely freezing this dying universe's remnants.

From the outside, that originally chaotic debris now looked like a specimen sealed in a huge amber,

every wisp of dissipating starlight, every broken law, was frozen in an eternal moment.

"Rule fragments are escaping, their number……uncalculable."

Qin Yue's voice was cold as moonlight, only to see countless silver rule threads stretching out from the walls of the Yanhuang Universe.

Woven into a net covering billions of light-years, it captured and dragged back each speck of rule light.

At the same time,

All members of the Yanhuang Civilization turned into the most efficient scavengers.

They surged into the remnants through the safe passage opened by Qin Zheng, beginning the most thorough dissection and disassembly of this massive corpse.

Each extinguished star, each energy-bearing meteorite,

even every fragment of spacetime structure,

were marked, packed, and transported back, ready to be fed into the Yanhuang Universe's furnace as nourishment for its growth.

The external bustle did not disturb Qin Hao.

His consciousness had already surpassed these physical layers of plunder, sinking, sinking further,

directly reaching that mysterious light cluster deep within his soul.

"System, activate Conceptual Energy Consumption Mode."

At this moment, there was no sound, but in Qin Hao's perceptual field, the massive blue universe remnant sealed in amber,

suddenly blurred.

It was no longer a physical entity composed of matter, energy, time, and space, but under the System's great power,

was forcibly stripped of all its physical attributes, reduced to strings of information and concepts waiting to be read and transformed.

"This blue universe, all its rules, energy, matter……from now on, its purpose is to serve me."

Qin Hao silently chanted in his heart.

He defined the blue universe as a 'high-energy battery.'

Hum——!

That fuzzy concept mass began to frenziedly collapse toward a point.

Qin Hao only felt an immense, unimaginable energy surge, breaking through dimensional barriers and wildly flooding into the System!

The System's energy increase began to skyrocket in an unprecedented violent manner!

100 jing……1000 gai……10,000 gai……10 zetta!

However, this was only the beginning!

The energy torrent showed no sign of stopping after reaching a certain threshold.

The System gave a prompt:

【Energy met standard, converting to host origin……】

Qin Hao felt his consciousness like parched land receiving sweet rain.

Each of his thoughts became more condensed and solid under this energy's scouring.

His understanding of laws was no longer like viewing through frosted glass, but became perfectly clear, revealing countless previously obscure underlying logics before his eyes.

His control over the Yanhuang Universe also advanced from a hundred percent to a more mysterious realm.

"Is……this the power of conceptual origin?"

Qin Hao was shocked in his heart.

It is directly defining the other's value from the level of existence, then squeezing them dry!

Just as Qin Hao was immersed in the exhilaration of his surging power,

on the System panel, a blood-red prompt popped up without warning.

【Warning: Detected deep-layer same-origin logic residue……】

The blood-red characters carried a bone-chilling chill.

Qin Hao's joy from his power surge instantly vanished.

"Same-origin?"

Qin Hao's heart clenched, "System, what does this mean?"

【In the energy currently absorbed by the host, there exists an energy fluctuation sharing the same conceptual origin as the System itself.】

The System's response made Qin Hao not only think,

He carefully recalled the blue universe's traits—consumption, transformation, strengthening itself by devouring its kind.

Then he recalled his own System—replication, optimization, absorbing external information to upgrade.

Hidden within this is the same cold, predatory logic!

Thinking of this, an indescribable chill crawled up his spine.

He had always thought the system was a one-of-a-kind fortuity, a cheat that transcended this world.

But now the system tells him that the monster universe, which regards devouring its own kind as instinct, actually shares the same conceptual origin with it?

What does that mean?

Is the system a product of this dark cosmic sea?

Or… is the entity that created the system itself the ultimate predator of this sea?

Could his so‑called host merely be a keeper for some even more terrifying existence?

"Interesting…"

After a brief shock, the chill in Qin Hao's eyes turned into a kind of frenzied ambition.

No matter where the system comes from, and no matter what price hides behind this power.

As long as I can survive in this man‑eating sea and bring Yanhuang Civilization to the pinnacle, even if it's poison, I'll drink it without hesitation!

【Common-source energy, usable for activating the system's deep functions.】

【Activate immediately?】

"Activate!"

Qin Hao without hesitation.

He wants to see what this so‑called common‑source power can bring him.

【Activating deep functions……Activation complete.】

【New function: Conceptual Analysis.】

【Conceptual Analysis: can analyze anything the host defines as a "concept," obtain its underlying logic, and extract its core rules.】

Qin Hao's pupils contracted sharply.

If conceptual devouring is eating, then conceptual analysis is stealing!

Steal the opponent's essence, pilfer their wisdom!

"Level of comprehension and willpower…"

Qin Hao chewed on the system's latent meaning, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

He had found the true key to dealing with this cosmic sea.

Since we can analyze, let's strip this cosmic sea down to its bare bones!

Even the system's secrets will one day be personally analyzed by him!

"Dad, the remnants of the blue universe have been completely squeezed dry!"

Qin Zheng's excited voice interrupted Qin Hao's thoughts.

"Energy and rules have also been fully reclaimed!"

"Data analysis is nearing completion—we've struck it rich!"

Qin Hao snapped out of his reverie in the system, looking at the excited faces in the collective consciousness network,

the wariness in his heart was deeply buried.

"Excellent!"

Qin Hao commanded, "All personnel, hear my orders! Begin digesting the spoils, prepare for an upgrade!"
