Chapter 576: Dismantling the Yanhuang Universe

They floated in the void, each person wearing a logic fragment that emitted a dangerous red light.

"Dad, it's started."

Qin Zheng's hand rested on the void's control lever.

His voice choked with emotion.

After all.

This universe was built by him brick by brick.

Now he must destroy it with his own hands.

No one feels this pain more deeply than he does.

Qin Hao patted his eldest son on the shoulder.

"Don't be sad."

"Today's dissolution is for a better gathering tomorrow."

"As long as people remain, the universe remains."

At Qin Hao's command,

The core engine of the Yanhuang Universe reversed its operation at that moment.

The tremendous roar no longer shot energy outward but collapsed inward.

The once indestructible Myriad Scale Mystic Light Wall began to show spider‑web cracks under that terrifying pressure.

But what seeped from those cracks was not despair.

but countless streams of golden light, pure to the extreme and imbued with the aura of law.

These streams did not dissipate into the void; they were precisely captured by the Soul Network.

Like a grand meteor shower, they fell into the chests of countless citizens.

At that moment, every Yanhuang person felt, besides their heart, a new singularity pounding wildly in their chest.

That was the seed of civilization.

It was the most splendid flower blooming on the ruins.

And Qin Hao stood beside the crumbling core throne.

His body was turning phantom bit by bit, using his own soul as the final shield.

He stubbornly held back the frantic compression of the three cubes.

"Hurry……"

He whispered softly.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, turning into the purest rule before it hit the ground.

This was the longest yet shortest moment of Yanhuang civilization.

"Old Two, act!"

Qin Hao continued to order.

At this moment, the outskirts of the Yanhuang Universe were already a sea of fire.

That was the intense friction produced by rules under extreme compression.

Qin Zheng took a deep breath and pressed both hands on the control panel.

【Myriad Scale Mystic Light Wall, disassembly procedure activated.】

As the universe's first line of defense.

Those layers of mirror‑shimmering armor were originally enough to reflect most known attacks in this world.

But now, under command, they no longer opened outward; instead, like closing umbrella leaves, they began to fold inward and shatter.

Each shard of armor released an energy wave capable of destroying a small universe.

"Old Mom, it's your turn!"

Qin Zheng shouted into the channel.

Qian Yin, far in the Core Research Lab, stood before a huge miniaturization device at this moment.

"Got it, I'm receiving energy!"

With the collapse of the homeland shell, endless rule energy surged in like a tide.

What Qian Yin had to do was shocking beyond belief.

She would use the Logic Anchor as a template.

She would forcibly shrink the hundreds of millions of massive rule engines down to nanometer scale.

Qian Yin roared at the researchers behind her.

"This is rewriting the fundamental definition of matter!"

"Each cell must contain the total energy of ten Milky Way Galaxies."

"Those with weak will will have their souls directly vaporized!"

The miniaturization ceremony began.

Those colossal structures that once spanned millions of light‑years were forcibly curled by Qian Yin's control.

Spacetime there resembled a rag being repeatedly wrung out.

In the end they became individual light points invisible to the naked eye, flickering with faint light.

These light points followed the preset conduits.

They frenziedly injected into the bodies of citizens already on standby.

This was an extremely painful process.

Bones were restructuring, cells undergoing fission.

In the originally steady blood vessels, what flowed was no longer blood.

Rather, it was liquefied high-purity logical proto-fluid.

"Endure!"

Qin An's voice echoed across the entire network.

His emotional power was like a cool spring, covering every soul undergoing evolution.

"Embrace this pain!"

"This is the price of rebirth!"

Within the universe, stars began to extinguish one after another.

Not from natural aging.

But their cores were stripped away.

These stars became sparks, ignited at each person's dantian.

Qin Hao saw that the once bustling galaxy began to disappear.

Vast star fields collapsed like sand, turning into nothingness.

Every blade of grass and tree was deconstructed into the most basic energy units.

This large-scale self-destruction.

This left the outside harvesters stunned.

Those three massive blue cubes spun faster and faster.

They couldn't understand why these worms, facing imminent death, would burn down their own homes.

"No…… this isn't burning houses."

An observer within the Execution Bureau issued a terrified alert.

"Their signals are weakening, but each individual's energy level is growing exponentially!"

"They are compressing the entire macroscopic universe into their microscopic bodies!"

"This is self-consumption that violates the Universe Sea Conservation Law!"

Qin Hao gave a cold smile.

Conservation Law?

That's reserved for you livestock.

"Dad, it's almost done."

Qin Si appeared beside Qin Hao.

Her body had been fully digitized, appearing as a string of pulsing aurora.

"The core database has been split, each segment of core code etched into a random citizen's gene chain."

"As long as one Yanhuang person lives, our knowledge will not perish."

Qin Hao nodded.

He gazed at the once vast and boundless Yanhuang Universe.

Now it had shrunk to a thin, faintly visible membrane.

Former planets had turned into light rain.

Countless Yanhuang people had become points of light within that rain.

And this membrane had reached the point of complete shattering.

"The final fragment, return to its place."

The throne symbolizing supreme civil authority, beneath Qin Hao's feet, transformed into a blinding stream of light.

It shot straight toward his brow.

"Boom!"

The entire space emitted a heaven-shaking, earth-rumbling roar.

The cosmic membrane shattered, leaving no universe in its place.

Only countless gold particles, smaller than dust and emitting a piercing cold glow, floated silently in the void.

Three white harvester cubes hovered there.

They released countless probing waves, sweeping back and forth over this wreckage.

"Detection result: target carrier has collapsed."

"Residual energy reading: 0.003%."

"Verdict: target has self-destructed, threat level downgraded."

Within the harvesters' command system, a cold judgment was issued.

In their logic.

Without the universe as support, these so-called variables are like fish scooped from the water.

They will soon completely evaporate under the vacuum pressure of nothingness.

However,

In the microscopic scale invisible to those harvesters, another storm is quietly forming.

"First Sequence, consciousness link......"

Qin Hao's consciousness rang out in that microscopic world.

He now has no physical form; his consciousness clings to a tiny point.

This point is the core of the universe within his body.

"Dad, the rules here have been aligned."

Qin Zheng's voice was somewhat weak, but carried a hint of excitement.
