Rejecting Tsinghua and Peking Universities: I Will Lead Harbin Institute of Technology to World Lead

In the following period, the Tree of Gods in the Pandora Galaxy also frantically plundered all the power of the other star systems in the entire galaxy.

Deep within the colorful river system, the colossal tree, covering millions of square kilometers, is devouring everything around it at an unprecedented speed.

Its roots extend in all directions from the main trunk, passing through nebulae, interstellar space, and galaxies that once belonged to other races.

Those races that lost their lives in the war—the Rock Race, the Jellyfish Race, the Crystal Race, the Light Spirit Race—though their star systems are now lifeless, their stars still burn, and their origins still exist.

The roots of the divine tree pierced into the core of those stars, extracting the essence of the stars without leaving a trace, and continuously transporting it to its main trunk through the veins of the roots.

One star went out, and then another star went out.

The stars that once illuminated countless worlds of life were successively transformed into lifeless, grayish-white spheres by the devouring of the divine tree, before collapsing and disappearing in the starry sky.

The power of the divine tree is constantly increasing.

Its trunk is expanding, growing from a diameter of one thousand kilometers to two thousand kilometers, three thousand kilometers, and five thousand kilometers.

Its canopy is expanding, from covering millions of square kilometers to tens of millions, hundreds of millions of square kilometers.

Its purple light grew increasingly intense, transforming from a dim candlelight into a dazzling lighthouse, illuminating the ruins of the entire colorful river system.

After all, although their race no longer exists, the origin of the stars still remains.

Those races disappeared, their civilizations were destroyed, and their lives came to an end.

But their stars are still there.

Those stars are the most fundamental energy sources in the universe, the cradle of civilization, and the beacon of life.

Today, they have all become nourishment for the sacred tree.

As the Tree of Gods in the Pandora Galaxy continues to absorb the stellar essence, the entire colorful galaxy is dimming at a visible rate.

The stars that once twinkled in the sky have gone out one by one.

The colorful light that was once visible even outside the Milky Way is gradually disappearing.

The colorful river system is dying.

And the divine tree is being reborn.

That's right, this divine tree absorbs the essence of the stars to strengthen itself.

This is why the Divine Tree is more powerful than the other evolved beings Lin Feng and his companions encountered, because it is the origin of the entire galaxy, and everything in the entire galaxy.

Lin Feng stood in front of the porthole in the command center, watching the changes in the colorful river system on the holographic projection, his eyes filled with solemnity.

He finally understood.

The Divine Tree is not an ordinary life form, not an ordinary evolver, and not an ordinary civilization.

It is the origin of the entire colorful river system.

Those stars, planets, nebulae, and life forms are all part of the power of the divine tree.

The star that once illuminated the Pandora galaxy was merely a portion of the power manifested by the Tree of Life, a source of life created to allow the Avatar race to survive.

The divine tree is the colorful river system, and the colorful river system is the divine tree.

This is why the Divine Tree possesses such terrifying power, such an astonishing regenerative speed, and the ability to tear through the void.

Because it is not a living organism, but a river system.

A galaxy with self-awareness.

That star in the Pandora system was merely a manifestation of its power, intended to ensure the survival of the Avatar race.

Lin Feng closed his eyes, and the image of the purple star he had seen in the Pandora galaxy three years ago floated into his mind.

The star emitted an eerie purple light, exactly the same as the light of the divine tree.

At the time, he thought it was just an ordinary star, merely affected by the power of the divine tree.

But now he understands—that star is part of the Divine Tree, an energy source created by the Divine Tree to sustain the survival of the Avatar race.

The Avatar race needs the light of the stars to sustain life, the warmth of the stars to reproduce, and the energy of the stars to develop their civilization.

So the Divine Tree transformed its power into a star, illuminating the Pandora Galaxy, the Blue Planet, and the home of the Avatar race.

This is the relationship between the Divine Tree and the Avatar race—

It is not about rulers and the ruled, gods and believers, but about symbiosis.

The Tree of Gods needs the Avatar race to gather information, carry out its will, and protect its home.

The Avatar race needs the Tree of Life to provide energy, protection, and the continuation of their civilization.

They are an interdependent community of life, a symbiotic relationship between the will of a galaxy and its people.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, a complex light flashing within them.

This enemy was more powerful than he had imagined.

Not a civilization, not a race, not a living being—

It is a river system.

A living, self-aware galaxy.

On the other side, the spacetime death ray that Lin Feng had researched was also being manufactured.

In the major factories of the solar system, the production line for the spacetime death ray is being set up at the fastest speed.

The experts from the technology alliance worked day and night to precisely manufacture every component in Lin Feng's design drawings.

The energy core of the Time-Space Death Ray is the most crucial part of the entire weapon, as it needs to generate three forces simultaneously: time acceleration, space compression, and resonant destruction.

These three forces intertwine, support, and amplify each other, ultimately forming a death beam powerful enough to destroy everything.

The outer shell of the energy core is made of the hardest alloy plundered from a parallel universe, and dozens of rare crystals are embedded inside, each of which is responsible for generating a specific energy frequency.

When these frequencies resonate within the core, the three forces of time, space, and destruction merge perfectly.

The design of the launching device is equally complex.

It needs to precisely guide the fusion energy generated in the energy core and split the beam into tens of millions of fine beams at the moment of launch, with each fine beam having an independent aiming system.

The aiming system uses quantum entanglement technology, which can lock onto tens of millions of targets simultaneously and adjust aiming parameters in real time at the moment the beam is fired.

Each beam of light will precisely lock onto a branch of the divine tree, without overlapping, wasting, or missing any.

Setting up the production line takes time, manufacturing the components takes time, and the final assembly and debugging also take time.

But Lin Feng believed that the Time-Space Death Ray could definitely be created before the Divine Tree completed its power accumulation.

Because humanity has a system simulation space, top experts from a technological alliance, and the resources of the entire Milky Way as a backing.

Both sides are constantly accumulating strength, but it is unknown who will complete the accumulation of strength first.

Deep within the colorful river system, the divine tree's devouring continues.

Its roots have extended to the most remote corners of the colorful river system, devouring the remaining stars one by one.

Its trunk diameter has expanded to eight thousand kilometers, its canopy covers hundreds of millions of square kilometers of space, and its purple light illuminates the last remaining star field of the colorful galaxy.

Its strength has recovered to pre-war levels and continues to grow.

But the colorful river system is also dying.

Those once dazzling, multicolored arms are now nothing but a deathly darkness.

Hundreds of millions of stars were swallowed by the divine tree, tens of thousands of nebulae dissipated under its roots, and the entire galaxy was disappearing from the universe.

The sacred tree doesn't care.

It only cares about power, only cares about victory, and only cares about completely annihilating human civilization.

When the last star in the colorful galaxy is swallowed, it will become the only one remaining in the entire galaxy, possessing unprecedented power.

At that time, it will launch its final attack on the Milky Way.

In the Milky Way, the creation of spacetime death rays is also accelerating.

The first production line was completed in the third month, and the first time-space death ray cannon rolled off the production line in the fourth month.

The test was conducted in the fifth month.

Lin Feng stood personally on the observation platform, looking at the brand-new weapon.

Its appearance is completely different from the Cosmic Death Beam Cannon. Its body is a mixture of dark blue and blood red, like a fusion of time and death.

At the muzzle of the cannon, a sphere of light is condensing.

The sphere of light was small, only about half a meter in size, but the energy it contained was enough to destroy half of the galaxy.

The ball of light spun at the muzzle, faster and brighter, its pale blue and blood-red light intertwining to illuminate the entire test star field.

"emission."

Lin Feng's voice was calm and firm.

The Time-Space Death Ray has been fired.

A beam of light shot out from the cannon muzzle, its color constantly shifting between dark blue and blood red, beautiful yet deadly.

During flight, the beam of light began to split.

One is divided into ten, ten into one hundred, one hundred into one thousand, one thousand into ten thousand, ten thousand into one million, and one million into ten million.

Ten million thin beams of light were emitted simultaneously within 0.01 seconds, covering the entire test star field.

Each beam of light precisely hit a pre-set target—ten million asteroids.

Ten million asteroids were pierced, disintegrated, and turned to dust in the same instant.

The test star field turned into nothingness in a second.

Lin Feng stared at the blank area, his eyes gleaming.

Successful.

The time-space death ray worked.

Ten million beams of light, more than three times the size of the cosmic death beam.

Each beam of light has five times the penetrating power of the cosmic death beam.

The interval between each launch has been shortened from thirty seconds to ten seconds.

This means that when one million branches of the divine tree are swung at the same time, the spacetime death ray can destroy them all in an instant, and there will still be nine million beams of energy left.

When the Divine Tree takes ten seconds to recover, the Spacetime Death Ray also fires at ten-second intervals.

This time, there was no time difference.

Humanity has finally gained the power to confront the divine tree head-on.

But Lin Feng knew that simply possessing the Time-Space Death Ray was not enough.

The divine tree is devouring the entire colorful river system and is becoming more powerful than before the war.

Once it has devoured all the stars in the colorful galaxy, its power will reach an unprecedented level.

By then, one million branches might become two million, three million, or even more.

By then, a recovery time of ten seconds may become five seconds, three seconds, or even less.

Humanity cannot wait for the divine tree to complete its power accumulation.

We must launch a final attack before it becomes invincible.

Lin Feng turned around and strode towards the command center.

On the holographic projection, the colorful river system is fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Those once-shining stars have gone out one by one.

The power of the divine tree is growing at an astonishing rate.

"Pass down the order."

Lin Feng's voice was deep and firm.

"Time-Space Death Ray Cannon, accelerate production."

"All fleets, enter maximum combat readiness."

"We need to have enough time-space death ray cannons in the shortest amount of time."

"Then--"

Lin Feng's gaze passed through the holographic projection, looking towards the direction of the colorful river system, towards the divine tree that was devouring the entire river system.

"Launch a final attack before it has finished gathering its strength."

"We can't give it any more chances."

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing throughout the command center.

In the solar system, the production line for the spacetime death ray expanded from one to ten, and then from ten to thirty.

Every minute, every second, new spacetime death ray cannons roll off the production line and are installed on the outer defense platforms of the solar system.

In the colorful river system, the divine tree's devouring continues.

Its power is constantly increasing, its branches are constantly multiplying, and its light is constantly intensifying.

Two forces, two galaxies, two arch-enemies.

Everyone is racing against time, accumulating strength, and waiting for the final battle.

Whoever accumulates strength first is likely to win this war.

Whoever possesses overwhelming power in the final battle will be able to completely annihilate the opponent.

Lin Feng stood in front of the porthole in the command center, looking at the sun forty times its size, at the spacetime death ray cannons being formed on the production line, and at the giant roc warships lining up in the starry sky.

A cold flame burned in his eyes.

Divine Tree, you wait.

I will come to find you soon.

This time, I won't let you get away again.

This time, you won't get a chance to recover.

This time—

That will be your end.
