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

The First Commander personally interrogated these guys.

In the military prison of the solar system, Old Zhou sat in the interrogation room, facing the captured commander of the Blood Demon civilization. His gaze was as cold as iron, his hands clasped on the table, staring at the other man without uttering a word.

The interrogation room was completely sealed, with energy shields flowing across the walls, impenetrable by any mental force. The Blood Demon Commander was bound in specially made energy shackles, which constantly emitted interference waves, making it impossible for him to concentrate his mental power.

The Blood Demon Commander's body resembled a human's, but was much larger, with unhealthy grayish-white skin and blood-red eyes that gleamed with an eerie light. He wore a tattered dark red military uniform embroidered with intricate blood-red patterns—the emblem of the Blood Demon civilization.

Old Zhou wasted no time. He knew that against an enemy capable of using mental power, any roundabout tactics or probing were pointless. Direct, forceful, and without room for compromise—that was the only way to deal with them.

They quickly pried all the information they wanted to know out of these guys.

The interrogation lasted three days. During these three days, Old Zhou used all the interrogation techniques that human civilization had acquired from countless galaxies, combined with the mental penetration ability of the Death Shockwave, to gradually break down the Blood Demon Commander's psychological defenses.

Their civilization is called the Blood Demon Civilization, and it is also a highly advanced civilization.

The Blood Demon Civilization was one of the most powerful civilizations in the original universe. Their history dates back billions of years, and their technology far surpassed that of any enemy humanity had ever encountered. They lived by plunder, reveled in destruction, and took pride in conquest. Their fleets were scattered throughout every corner of the universe, and their will permeated countless galaxies.

They were merely the weakest fleet; otherwise, they would have patrolled the entire universe, plundered resources from powerful civilizations they discovered, and returned to the Blood Demon Ancestral Star.

This colossal red ship, this terrifying warship that nearly destroyed the solar system, was actually the weakest existence within the Blood Demon civilization. They were sent out to patrol the universe, searching for civilizations with potential, plundering their resources, and then transporting those resources back to the Blood Demon ancestral planet. Human civilization was merely a target they stumbled upon during their patrols.

In the words of the Blood Demon Commander, the Blood Demon Ancestral Star was a place of utter terror. There, countless oceans of energy formed from the condensed essence of stars existed; countless enslaved civilizations served the Blood Demons; and unimaginably powerful fleets cruised through space. The rulers of the Blood Demon Ancestral Star each possessed world-destroying power, and each wielded weapons far more powerful than death shockwaves.

At the same time, their Blood Demon civilization possessed an even more powerful force, a force stronger than their shockwaves. As for what that force was, they didn't know, since they were the weakest existence within the Blood Demon civilization.

The Blood Demon Commander didn't know what that power was; he only knew it was something far beyond a death shockwave. He had sensed it once from afar on the Blood Demon Ancestral Star—it was a power that could make the entire galaxy tremble, a power that could reverse time, collapse space, and reverse cause and effect.

Old Zhou's brow furrowed deeper and deeper. A force even more powerful than the Death Shockwave. The Death Shockwave could already destroy half a galaxy in a single strike, so what kind of existence could be even more powerful? That kind of power was probably already close to the very origin of the universe.

Of course, these guys also told the First Commander that they could receive messages from the Blood Demon Civilization and could send them back.

During the final stage of the interrogation, the Blood Demon commander revealed a crucial piece of information: the Blood Demon fleet possessed a unique means of communication—a long-distance communication based on the very essence of the universe, capable of transmitting information to any corner of the cosmos in an instant. Although this giant red ship had been captured by humanity, its communication system remained intact and could still send messages to the Blood Demon's ancestral planet.

If the Blood Demon Ancestral Star received news that its weakest fleet had been defeated by humanity—how would they react? Would they send a more powerful fleet to seek revenge? Would they personally descend upon this parallel universe and completely wipe out human civilization?

Old Zhou didn't think about it any further. He knew that this news had to be told to Lin Feng immediately.

Although they possessed Blood Demon warships, they were merely warriors with no scientific research capabilities. Even if the Blood Demon civilization gave them the coordinates of their original universe and asked them to find a way back, they would have no choice but to stay in this universe if they couldn't return. They would either develop a new Blood Demon civilization or grow stronger until they could return home, or remain in this original universe for the rest of their lives.

After being captured, the Blood Demon commander attempted to use this information to save his life. He told Old Zhou that the Blood Demon warships' navigation systems stored precise coordinates from the original universe. These were the return coordinates pre-set by the Blood Demon civilization when dispatching its fleets, and every Blood Demon warship possessed them.

But they were warriors, not scientists. They knew the coordinates, but not how to use them. The Blood Demon civilization gave them warships, weapons, and the mission of plunder, but not the ability to traverse parallel universes. If they couldn't complete their mission, if they were trapped in this parallel universe, they would have to find their own way back—either develop sufficient technological power, establish a new Blood Demon civilization in this universe, or remain here forever.

Having gotten everything he wanted, Lao Zhou stood up and strode out of the interrogation room.

In his hand lay a data crystal extracted from the Blood Demon warship's navigation system. That crystal contained the precise coordinates of the Blood Demon civilization in the original universe—the location of the Blood Demon Ancestral Star—and, most importantly, the original universe's location data.

Lin Feng also learned of this news. Looking at the coordinates of the original universe, he understood that this was the key to returning home.

On the holographic projection in the command center, the information in the data crystal was displayed in its entirety. It was an extremely complex set of spatial coordinate data, containing the location information of thousands of galaxies in the original universe, precise parameters of the cosmic microwave background radiation, and a detailed description of the spatial structure.

This data is the most precious information ever obtained by human civilization. It is the key to home, the ticket to the original universe, and the only hope for human civilization to return to its homeland.

However, to figure out how to get home, we need to thoroughly study the portals and space jumps. Of course, the most crucial thing is to grasp the origin of the universe; otherwise, there is no way to return to the original universe.

Lin Feng stood in front of the holographic projection, his eyes fixed on the coordinate data, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

The fusion of the portal to another dimension and spacetime jump, guided by the will of the universe, once brought the entire solar system to this parallel universe. However, that was a passive, uncontrollable journey dependent on the power of the universe's origin. Humanity merely activated the device; the power of the universe's origin completed the entire journey.

If humanity wants to return to its original universe proactively, controllably, and independently of the universe's will, it must thoroughly master all the secrets of the spacetime gate and space jumps, and must possess its own cosmic origin.

Without a cosmic origin, it would be impossible to tear down the barriers between parallel universes. Without a cosmic origin, it would be impossible to accurately locate the original universe amidst endless parallel universes. Without a cosmic origin, it would be impossible to guarantee the safety of the solar system during the journey.

The origin of the universe is the key to returning home.

Lin Feng turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the command center. His eyes burned with an unprecedented light—a light of longing, a light of determination, a light of returning home.

"Pass down the order." Lin Feng's voice was deep and firm. "Analyze the Blood Demon Civilization's navigation data with all our might, pinpointing the coordinates of the original universe to the finest detail. Research the fusion technology of spacetime gates and space jumps with all our might; I want to master all the secrets of parallel universe travel in the shortest possible time. Conquer all the galaxies in this universe with all our might; I need more cosmic origins."

"When everything is ready—we will go home. Back to the original universe, back to where we came from. Back to the Blood Demon civilization, back to the enemy who took two-thirds of our people."

"This time, it's not about running away, hiding, or fleeing. This time, it's about revenge."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing throughout the command center and the entire solar system.

In the starry sky, the sun, five hundred times larger than the sun, shone with intense light, illuminating the scientists analyzing the data, the experts researching the portal to spacetime, and the fleets conquering the galaxy.

Lin Feng stood by the window, holding the data crystal that stored the original universe coordinates in his hand, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Blood Demon Civilization, you await your doom. When human civilization returns to its original universe with the power of countless galaxies, the weapons of the Heavenly Emperor, and the very essence of the universe—that will be your end.
