Chapter 568: All People Are Gods

Qin Hao ignored the system's warning.

Illegal data?

In his view, this was the most legitimate data in the universe.

He greedily absorbed this insight, and his entire soul underwent an essential transformation.

If one were to say that his former self was the optimal user of this system program,

then now he is trying to become a programmer who can read the program's source code.

No one knows how long passed.

When he opened his eyes again, the bamboo slips in his hand had turned to flying ash.

But the world in his eyes was now completely different.

Qin Hao returned from the Origin Space to the Core Hall.

He looked unchanged, but Qin Zheng, Qin Wu, and the others felt that he now possessed an indescribable aura.

It was a kind of transcendence.

Clearly standing here, yet not entirely present here.

A part of him seemed to have merged with the fundamental logic of the cosmic sea.

"Dad, you……"

Qin Zheng was the first to notice the anomaly.

"I'm fine."

Qin Hao waved his hand, feeling the power within him that belonged not to the system but to himself, his heart filled with calm.

"I just came to understand some things."

He looked at his several children, then through the screen toward the countless billions of people busy inside the Yanhuang Universe.

A bold idea formed in his mind.

The next second, Qin Hao's gentle yet powerful thought echoed through every corner of the Yanhuang Universe.

"All Yanhuang people listening, I am Qin Hao."

"We are facing an unprecedented crisis; a powerful enemy has already issued an extermination order against us."

"They want to erase our existence, our history, our future."

His thought was calm, but each word struck people's hearts like a heavy hammer.

"But,"

Qin Hao shifted his tone, his voice becoming extremely resolute.

"I tell you this not to frighten you, but to tell you that our time to transform has come."

"The strength of the Yanhuang nation should not come from me, but from each of you."

"So I have made a decision."

"From today onward, I will open part of the system's permissions, open part of the ability to manipulate cosmic rules, to all Yanhuang people!"

The entire universe fell into dead silence at this moment.

Immediately afterward, an earth-shaking uproar erupted.

Open rule permissions?

To everyone?

This is tantamount to giving everyone the qualification to become a god!

"Dad, this is too risky!"

Qin Zheng's voice rang out in the Core Hall: "The sudden acquisition of power, if not adequately controlled, will cause chaos!"

"I know."

Qin Hao looked at him, "But we have no time; the enemy won't give us tens of thousands of years to slowly adapt."

"I believe in our nation; I believe this civilization that emerged from the Great Flood and endured the apocalyptic baptism can withstand this trial."

He turned his gaze back toward the void.

"I will establish a Path of Truth where all citizens can enter to learn and comprehend the power of rules. Qin Si will construct safety logic to prevent the abuse of power."

"I do not expect everyone to become top-tier combat power overnight."

"But I hope every engineer can weave the strongest materials, every doctor can rewrite the logic of disease, and every warrior can imbue his weapon with an unerring rule."

"I want to turn our entire civilization into an impregnable fortress!"

"I want to achieve everyone becoming gods!"

These words, carrying surging hot blood, ignited the flame in every Yanhuang person's heart.

At this moment, a vast and unified will rose from the Yanhuang Universe.

That was the cry of the entire civilization choosing to face destiny head-on.

Qin Hao felt this will and smiled.

This move was the right one.

The so-called Path of Truth is a virtual space constructed by Qin Hao using his insight into the "Dao" combined with the system.

In this space, the universe's basic rules are broken down into the most basic, comprehensible models.

Every Yanhuang person can immerse their consciousness in it, like a novice learning programming, to attempt to touch, even fine-tune these rules.

An unprecedented learning frenzy swept across the entire civilization.

Scientists were overjoyed, discovering that many bottlenecks that had troubled them for millennia could be bypassed simply by modifying parameters.

Warriors were thrilled, finding that their weapons could be endowed with concepts such as sharpness and irresistibility.

The entire Yanhuang civilization is undergoing a profound and far-reaching transformation.

They were evolving from technological civilization to true rule civilization at an explosive speed.

And just at the beginning of this evolution.

The enemy has arrived.

Warning! High-dimensional energy source detected approaching!

Qin Si's urgent voice broke the learning atmosphere.

On the main screen, the space outside the Flame Yellow Universe began to twist.

Three humanoid figures, their bodies radiating strong light, stepped out of the void.

They had no fixed features, appearing to be composed of flowing light and shadow, and were part of spacetime itself.

They were the Purgers.

They were not life in the conventional sense, but self-aware logic programs, the maintainers of order for the Execution Bureau.

"Target confirmed, Mutant K-779."

One of the Purgers spoke.

"Execute the final cleansing procedure."

It raised a hand made of light.

"Rule defines new value: zero."

Words become law.

Rules are commands.

A cluster of universes several hundred million gai light-years away from the Flame Yellow Universe silently collapsed.

All matter, rules, and spacetime...

In an instant, they turned into nothingness.

This was an attack that erased existence at its root.

And within the Flame Yellow Universe, extreme panic erupted.

This power surpassed everyone's comprehension.

The light hand of that Purger shifted direction, pointing toward the Flame Yellow Universe.

"Target definition: everything within the designated coordinates."

"Executing..."

"Have you had enough fun?"

At this critical moment, Qin Hao's voice rang out in the Core Hall.

He stepped forward, his form appearing directly outside the universe,

Alone, he faced the three terrifying Purgers.

"You play with logic, then I'll play with you."

Gazing at the Purger who launched the attack, his eyes were deep as an abyss.

Then he slowly extended a finger.

The power of the System surged, but the one guiding this power was no longer the System's logic, but Qin Hao's own understanding of the Dao.

I define —

"The reason for your existence is a logical paradox."

"Therefore, you do not exist."

A completely unreasonable statement.

A completely illogical judgment.

But on the level of the Dao, it holds.

The Purger who was about to launch the attack suddenly froze in motion.

Its radiant body began to flicker violently, like a segment of erroneous code.

The logic within was undergoing a mad conflict.

"My premise of existence is the order of the Execution Bureau...... order is absolute, but the definition of the paradox is wrong...... wrong......"

"I am a paradox, therefore I cannot exist...... but I am executing orders...... who am I?"

A silent scream from the data layer erupted from its core.

Its body collapsed inward and twisted.

The next second.

It disappeared.

It completely vanished from this timeline, this reality dimension.

As if it had never come.

In the void, only a slight spacetime ripple remained, proof that something had been forcibly erased just moments before.

The remaining two Purgers' movements abruptly halted.

Their logic cores could not process what had just happened.

Their companion, a perfect program, was actually killed by a single illogical statement.
