Chapter 569: Masquerading Under the Enforcement Bureau's Nose

What method is this? Directly saying someone died? Too strong!

This is Qin Hao's power! The power of Flame Yellow!

All Flame Yellow people who had just come into contact with the power of rules witnessed for the first time this divine-level clash, and the awe and fervor in their hearts reached their peak.

However, inside the core hall, the atmosphere was not relaxed.

Qin Hao's figure reappeared on the throne, his face as pale as paper, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Dad!

Qin An rushed over immediately, divine power surging, to calm Qin Hao's churning inner breath.

"I'm fine." Qin Hao waved his hand, his breathing a little ragged.

The backlash from tampering with causality is too great.

It's not an energy backlash, but a logical backlash.

Forcing an unreasonable outcome upon the universe, the universe's self-correction mechanism inflicted heavy damage on his soul.

The cost is high.

Qin Hao said softly, as if speaking to himself, "This move can only be used as a trump card."

Just then, the two Purgers outside finally finished rebooting.

They did not launch another attack, but simultaneously emitted a dispassionate message.

Anomalous variable detected; logical judgment exceeds clearance for purging.

Data has been uploaded.

Retreat.

Their forms turned into streams of light and shadow, dissipating into the void.

They came quickly and left just as quickly.

But this does not mean the crisis is over.

"They will come back."

Qin Zheng's face was grave, "Moreover, next time they come, they will surely bring countermeasures against your kind of ability."

Qin Hao nodded.

He understands this better than anyone.

Just then, a series of piercing alarms sounded.

"Report! The Myriad Scale Mystic Light Wall structure is damaged 3.7%."

"Universe primordial energy reserves down 19%."

"Logical backlash causing unstable tremors in the fundamental rule chains!"

Bad news came one after another.

The screen showed that the Flame Yellow Universe's recently upgraded shell was actually covered in fine, spiderweb-like cracks.

That was not done by the enemy.

That was the self-inflicted damage caused when Qin Hao earlier unleashed causal tampering, the violent rule shockwave that the universe's main body could not withstand.

Qin Hao gazed at those cracks, and for the first time a deep sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.

All along, he has been striving to make this ship stronger and harder.

But now he realizes that the ship itself has become his greatest weakness.

It is too big, too cumbersome, too conspicuous.

Its very existence is a huge target, constantly consuming massive amounts of resources to maintain.

Against low-level enemies, it is a fortress.

But against the Purgers, high-level enemies who can erase existence with a flick of a finger, this heavy shell is no longer protection but a burden.

It is a prison.

"Our approach is wrong."

Qin Hao muttered to himself, his voice hoarse.

Everyone looked at him.

"We have been trying to reinforce our shell, but the true path to survival is not to build a harder shell."

He slowly rose to his feet, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"But rather, discard the shell."

This sentence struck like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone stunned.

Discard the universe?

That is their homeland, the foundation that has borne civilization for billions of years!

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Qin Wu asked, puzzled.

"The universe is a vessel, but also a shackle."

Qin Hao's train of thought has never been clearer.

"It limits our mobility, consumes our energy, and makes us a target for all."

"Look at those true powerhouses, like Mysterious Capital and the Purgers—do they need to ride a ship?"

"No, they themselves are the strongest vessel."

"The path we must take is not to wander while carrying our homeland."

He pointed to the people in the hall.

"But rather, let every Flame Yellow person become an independent universe, so that everyone can break free from this universe's constraints and become a more powerful lifeform."

"We will dissolve the universe, break the whole into nothing, scatter like dandelion seeds into the sea of stars, but the spark of civilization will never be extinguished."

This is a plan to completely sublimate the entire civilization.

The hall fell into utter silence.

Everyone was digesting the huge impact this plan brought.

This is the path to survival, and also the path of rebirth through fire.

"But before that,"

Qin Hao's voice pulled everyone back to reality: "We must first repair our current home."

"We lack energy, we lack materials, we lack everything."

He turned his head to look at the star map.

His gaze locked onto the area marked in red, the Execution Bureau's jurisdiction.

"Since they want to hunt us, we'll go to the hunter's lair and take what we need."

A cold ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"It's time to carry out a raid."

The plan is set.

Civilizational sublimation is the ultimate goal, but survival right now is the top priority.

The Yanhuang universe is like a wounded beast, needing to lick its wounds and replenish its strength.

And the best hunting ground is undoubtedly the enemy's territory.

"Old Four, scan the resource distribution map of the Execution Bureau in the Seventh Sector."

Qin Hao gave the order.

"Yes."

Qin Si's fingers flew, and a detailed star map appeared on the main screen.

That was the Execution Bureau's dominion in the Seventh Sector, covered with countless dots marking its territory.

"Select supply stations that possess high-tier energy and regulatory materials, yet have relatively weak defenses."

The star map flickered; most dots went out, leaving only a few dozen.

Qin Hao's finger tapped one of them.

"This is it, the G-3 Resource Depot. It stores a large number of stable logic anchors, exactly what we urgently need to repair the cosmic rifts."

"This resource depot lies deep within the Execution Bureau's patrol zone; once we enter, we will be detected immediately."

Qin Zheng frowned.

"Who said we have to go in boldly?"

Qin Hao's lips curled into a faint smile.

He looked at the new layer of the myriad-scaled mystic light wall on the Yanhuang universe.

"The technology we snatched from that hunter is not merely for defense."

"Qin Si, Qian Yin, I need you to cooperate. Use the system's simulation ability and the mirror-armor's characteristics to carry out a perfect disguise."

"I want our universe to appear from the outside as a standard Execution Bureau sweeping patrol ship—not just in shape, but in energy fluctuations, regulatory frequencies, and even friend-or-foe identification signals."

This is an undertaking of extreme difficulty.

It amounts to forging a perfect key at the atomic level.

But for the Yanhuang Civilization, which has gained the ability to weave regulations, it is not impossible.

"Give us three cycles."

Qian Yin's confident voice came from the Engineering Institute: "I guarantee the mission will be completed."

The entire Yanhuang universe once again became a high-speed operating machine.

The surface mirror armor began to undergo subtle changes; countless microscopic units rearranged and combined, simulating the cold, orderly energy-reflection frequency unique to Execution Bureau warships.

Qin Si then led the team, frantically cracking the Execution Bureau's identification protocols and forging a convincingly authentic signal code.

After three cycles.

The Yanhuang universe underwent a tremendous transformation.

Its exterior became smooth and pure white, emitting a cold, orderly energy fluctuation.

A standard Execution Bureau patrol ship bearing the designation CL-7384 silently appeared in the void.

"Disguise complete."

Qin Si's voice sounded excited: "The similarity is 99.99%; unless an Arbiter-level being conducts a face-to-face inspection, no one can see through it."

"Good."

Qin Hao stood up: "Let's set out to claim our compensation."

The patrol ship ignited its engines and proceeded openly toward the Execution Bureau's territory.

The smooth progress along the way was astonishing.

They encountered a few genuine patrol squadrons, but after a simple signal exchange, the other side let them pass without any suspicion.

No one expected that the universe-level civilization listed on the extermination order would dare to disguise itself as a hunter and swagger straight into the enemy's stronghold.

Soon, the G-3 Resource Depot loomed ahead.

It was a massive void fortress, surrounded by layered defensive arrays and automated weapon platforms.

"Unidentified vessel CL-7384, please report your mission code."

The fortress's automated defense system sent an inquiry.

Qin Si replied calmly, simultaneously transmitting a perfectly forged authorization code.

By order of Arbiter Kai'er, carry out a special inspection mission.

The Fortress System fell silent for a few seconds.

"Code accepted, welcome, inspector. Please proceed to Berth 7."

The fortress's defense shield opened a gap.

The Yanhuang Universe successfully slipped inside.
