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

In the time that followed, human civilization went even more mad.

In the solar system, all factories operate day and night, and all production lines are running at maximum capacity. One after another, death warships sail out of the docks, their silver-white hulls gleaming brightly in the sunlight. One after another, death armor pieces fall from the assembly line, their black armor surfaces flowing with a ghostly blue light.

In the spaceport, the number of warships has increased from 200,000 to 500,000, their dense, silvery-white hulls covering the entire starry sky, stretching as far as the eye can see. In the military base, the number of armored vehicles has increased from 500,000 to 1 million; these black steel giants stand like silent sculptures, awaiting the battle horn.

Humanity's fleet traverses the universe, conquering new galaxies and transporting new resources back to the solar system every day. The sun has expanded to a thousand times its original size, its golden light illuminating every corner of the universe, becoming the most dazzling presence in the starry sky.

They need to plunder more resources and obtain more of the universe's origin.

Commander-in-Chief Zhou led the main fleet in an attack on a supergalaxy deep in the universe. These galaxies were ten or even a hundred times the size of the Milky Way, containing countless stellar resources and rare minerals. Conquering one supergalaxy was equivalent to conquering a hundred ordinary galaxies.

Second Commander Zhang led the Second Fleet in an attack on the desolate galaxies at the edge of the universe. Although those galaxies were lifeless, their stellar origins and mineral resources were equally precious. Conquering them wouldn't require a great price, but the rewards would be equally substantial.

The Third Fleet, the Fourth Fleet, the Fifth Fleet... one fleet after another set off from the solar system, using space jumps to reach every corner of the universe.

For a time, human civilization's warships continuously used space jumps to attack other civilizations and acquire more of the universe's essence.

Every month, good news arrives back to the solar system. Every month, new galaxies are conquered by humankind. Every month, new cosmic origins are bestowed upon us by the will of the universe.

Fifty portions, sixty portions, seventy portions, eighty portions, ninety portions.

Within the system's simulation space, Lin Feng continuously sensed the newly acquired origins. With each additional origin, his perception of the resonance patterns of the universe's origin became clearer. When he reached ninety origins, he could completely simulate the resonance process of the universe's origin within the system's simulation space. Although it was only a simulation, and not yet the true origin of the universe, it was already the closest human civilization had ever come to the origin of the universe.

On the other side, Lin Feng's Heavenly Emperor Weapon has also reached a critical moment.

In the system simulation space, Lin Feng stood in the void, before him lay the complete design blueprint of the Heavenly Emperor's weapon. It was a weapon system of unimaginable size, integrating the penetration and explosion of the Death Shockwave, the time control of the Time Gate, the space jump to traverse space, the absolute defense of the Death Shield, the extreme speed of the Death Battleship, and the all-around combat capabilities of the Death Armor—all the technological essence that humanity had obtained from countless galaxies was incorporated into this weapon system.

The Heavenly Emperor Weapon possesses all the advantages of a death weapon: the power to penetrate everything, the destructive power to destroy everything inside, and the explosive power to annihilate everything.

When the death shockwave strikes its target, it simultaneously activates three destructive modes: Penetration Mode, tearing apart all of the target's defenses from the outside; Infiltration Mode, silently penetrating the target's internal structure; and Explosion Mode, triggering a chain reaction of explosions at its core, completely disintegrating the target from within. These three forces are released in the same instant, superimposing and amplifying each other, ultimately generating a destructive force surpassing that of any weapon.

Of course, the most important thing is the Heavenly Emperor's weapon, which possesses the power of time and space.

Lin Feng incorporated the time control principles of the Time-Space Gate and the spatial folding principles of spatial jumps into the Heavenly Emperor Weapon's launch system. When the Heavenly Emperor Weapon is launched, the launch system simultaneously activates time and space lockdowns—

Time freezes, completely halting time around the target. Within this time-frozen zone, all matter, energy, and information are immobile, unable to change, and unable to escape. Enemy warships cannot start their engines, enemy weapons cannot fire, and enemy communications cannot be transmitted. They can only watch helplessly as death descends, unable to do anything about it.

Spatial confinement completely folds the space surrounding the target. Within this folded area, all spatial coordinates are distorted, and all spatial passages are sealed off. Enemies cannot initiate spatial jumps, cannot tear through the void, and cannot escape. They are trapped in a sealed spatial cage, with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

When a Heavenly Emperor Weapon is fired, it can seal off time and space. In other words, once the Heavenly Emperor Weapon is fired, the enemy has no way to escape and can only watch helplessly as they are destroyed.

Neither the spatial tearing of the Divine Tree nor the parallel universe traversal of the Blood Demon Civilization could withstand the Heavenly Emperor's weapon. Time was frozen, rendering them unable to activate any abilities. Space was sealed, preventing them from escaping anywhere. They could only stand there, watching the all-destroying beam of light grow closer, brighter, and closer—and then, everything vanished into nothingness.

Lin Feng stood in the void, gazing at the complete design blueprints of the Heavenly Emperor Weapon, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. Thousands of years of research, thousands of years of deduction, thousands of years of accumulation had finally yielded a perfect result at this moment. The Heavenly Emperor Weapon, from theory to design, from principles to structure, from parameters to manufacturing process, was complete in every way.

Of course, at the most crucial moment, Lin Feng also discovered that the most crucial origin of the Heavenly Emperor's weapon was actually the origin of the universe.

Just as Lin Feng was about to export the design blueprints of the Heavenly Emperor Weapon from the system simulation space and hand them over to the Technology Alliance to begin manufacturing, he suddenly discovered a fatal problem.

The energy core of the Heavenly Emperor's weapon requires a special kind of energy to power it—the origin of the universe. It is not ordinary energy, not the origin of stars, not the energy core of a death shockwave, but the pure, primordial origin of the universe, belonging to the deepest level of the universe.

Without the origin of the universe, the Heavenly Emperor's weapon cannot be activated. Without the origin of the universe, time sealing and space sealing cannot be achieved. Without the origin of the universe, the Heavenly Emperor's weapon's three destruction modes cannot be released simultaneously.

To use the Heavenly Emperor's weapon, one must use the essence of the universe, and in extremely large quantities.

Lin Feng had precisely calculated the energy requirements of the Heavenly Emperor's weapon. The result sank his heart to the bottom.

One Heavenly Emperor Weapon requires one hundred portions of the Origin of the Universe.

One hundred portions. Since becoming the dominant power in the Milky Way, human civilization has gone through galactic competition, conquered countless galaxies, plundered countless resources, and received gifts from the will of the universe time and time again—but even now, it has only accumulated less than one hundred portions of the cosmic origin.

It should be noted that humanity has only obtained a few dozen portions of the cosmic origin so far, and using the Heavenly Emperor's weapon requires a full one hundred portions of the cosmic origin for a single strike.

Lin Feng stood in the void, silent for a long time. Dozens against a hundred—all of humanity's accumulated resources over so long were only enough to fire one shot. After that one shot, all the cosmic essence would be exhausted, the spacetime gate and space jump would lose their power, and humanity would lose its very foundation to stand in this universe.

Even if they did develop the Heavenly Emperor's weapon, they wouldn't be able to use it.

Lin Feng's fist slowly clenched. Thousands of years of research, thousands of years of deduction, thousands of years of accumulation, all for nothing more than a weapon that couldn't be used. This feeling was more frustrating than defeat itself.

Therefore, Lin Feng had no choice but to give up the Heavenly Emperor's weapon for the time being.

He stood in the void of the system simulation space, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. Frustration was useless, anger was useless, and giving up was impossible. The Heavenly Emperor Weapon was humanity's ultimate trump card against the Divine Tree and the Blood Demon Civilization, the greatest hope for returning to the original universe for revenge. He couldn't abandon the Heavenly Emperor Weapon; he simply needed more time, more resources, and more cosmic essence.

Instead, he issued an order to continue frantically plundering the origin. He needed to obtain more of the universe's origin in order to thoroughly comprehend it and then research it. At that time, they would be truly invincible.

Lin Feng exited the system simulation space and strode towards the command center.

"Pass down the order." Lin Feng's voice echoed in the command center, firm and powerful. "Accelerate the conquest plan. All fleets, launch an attack. Objective: Conquer all galaxies in the universe. I need more cosmic essence, not just a few dozen, not a few hundred, but thousands, tens of thousands."

"At the same time, we will concentrate all our scientific research efforts to study the composition and principles of the universe's origin. I want to unlock the secrets of the universe's origin and master its creation methods in the shortest possible time."

"On the day the Emperor's Weapon is born, on the day the Emperor's Weapon can be used at will—human civilization will become the true god of the universe. No civilization will be able to withstand our power, no enemy will be able to escape our judgment, and no being will be able to challenge our majesty."

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

Lin Feng stood by the window, looking at the sun a thousand times larger than the stars, at the death warships lined up in the starry sky, at the death armor that was preparing to go into battle in the military base, and at the original cosmic coordinates from the Blood Demon civilization on the holographic projection.

His eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

The origin of the universe, the Heavenly Emperor's weapon, the original universe, the Blood Demon civilization, the Divine Tree—all of these will come to an end the moment he unlocks the secrets of the universe's origin.

When human civilization possesses the infinite origin of the universe, when the Heavenly Emperor's weapons can be fired at will—Divine Tree, you cannot escape. Blood Demon Civilization, your end has come. Cosmic Will, you are no longer the only being that controls the origin.

Humanity will become the true gods of the universe.
