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

When the will to die was destroyed, the starry sky of the Ninth Universe was reborn in the light of purification. Those star fields that had been shrouded in black mist for countless years finally welcomed the light.

The stars shone with their warm light once more, the nebulae regained their vibrant colors, space returned to stability, and time began to flow again.

Those souls who had struggled for countless years under the control of the will to die were transformed into specks of starlight in the light of purification, dissipating into the starry sky of the ninth universe, finally finding eternal rest.

The human fleet returned in formation across the starry sky of the Ninth Universe. The silver-white hulls of one million Death Ships gleamed with the light of newborn stars, while three million Death Grim Reaper armored vehicles stood in neat rows behind them. The black steel giants stood silently, as if mourning this hard-won victory.

The solar system quietly operates at the edge of the ninth universe. The sun, five thousand times larger, emits a blazing golden light. The white light of the Creation Barrier slowly recedes after the victory. The Final Judgment stands silently in the deepest part of the solar system. The Spear of Purification—the ultimate weapon that just ended the war—has exhausted its energy core after firing its final shot, leaving only an empty shell.

Lin Feng stood in front of the porthole in the command center, looking at the starry sky that had been reborn in the light of purification, his eyes flashing with complex light.

The death will of the nine universes has finally been completely purified. From the first universe to the ninth universe, all the ending forces have found peace, and all darkness has ushered in the light.

Human civilization has traversed a long and arduous path, endured countless wars, and suffered immense sacrifices. But in the end, they triumphed. The life forms of the nine universes can finally rest in peace, the future of the nine universes holds hope, and human civilization can finally return home.

The primordial will appeared in the ninth universe, expressed its gratitude to humanity, and pledged to complete the fusion of the nine universes as soon as possible.

A soft light shone in the starry sky of the Ninth Universe. The light was different from the white of the Creation Barrier and the gold of the Purification Spear. It was a light that contained all the colors in the universe: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple; black, white, gray, gold, and silver. All the colors bloomed at the same time in that instant and then condensed into a pure, primordial light that belonged to the birth of the universe in the next instant.

The Primal Will—the being that created nine universes, the will that sealed the Will of Death for countless years, the power that has been guiding human civilization forward—finally appeared in its complete form in the starry sky of the Ninth Universe.

"Human civilization, Lin Feng, I thank you." The voice of the primal will echoed in Lin Feng's mind, no longer indifferent, no longer aloof, but filled with sincere gratitude, a sense of relief after countless years, and a feeling of liberation. "Countless years have passed. From the moment the universe was born, the will of death has existed with me. We have fought for countless years. I split the universe, sealed it away, and waited for the chosen civilization to complete its final mission. You have succeeded. Human civilization has succeeded. The will of death in the nine universes has been completely purified. Life in the nine universes is finally safe. The universe can finally be whole again."

"I will complete the merging of the nine universes as soon as possible. During the merging process, the civilizations of the nine universes will not be affected in any way. Stars will continue to burn, planets will continue to rotate, life will continue to reproduce, and civilizations will continue to develop. Everything will be as usual, except that the nine universes will become one complete universe, and all life will reunite under the same starry sky."

In the time that followed, the primordial will began to merge the nine universes.

The light of primordial will spread across the starry sky of the ninth universe, piercing through the boundaries of the universe, the barriers of spacetime, and the separation between the nine parallel universes.

The starry sky of the first universe began to overlap with that of the second universe; the Milky Way of the third universe began to merge with that of the fourth universe; the nebula of the fifth universe began to intertwine with that of the sixth universe; and the seventh, eighth, and ninth universes—all universes—began to merge under the power of the primordial will.

Stars rearrange themselves through merging, planets reposition themselves through merging, and nebulae intertwine again through merging.

But everything was as the primordial will had predicted; the civilizations of the nine universes remained unaffected. Those living in the first universe didn't even sense the merging of the universes.

Those civilizations that developed in the second universe were unaware that other universes were merging with their own.

Those poets who gaze at the stars in the third universe only see the starry sky becoming more dazzling, unaware that it is because the starlight of another universe is sharing the same sky with them.

The civilizations of the nine universes will not be affected and can continue their lives as usual. Lin Feng also returned to a peaceful life, staying with his family in tranquility.

Lin Feng finally returned home, the home he had left countless years ago, on Earth, in Beijing. Lin Guodong stood at the door, his hair white but his spirits high, his eyes filled with pride as he looked at his returning son.

Su Wenqing rushed out of the house and hugged Lin Feng tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, as if he were still the boy who had run away from home years ago. Shen Moran stood behind, tears silently streaming down her face, but a gentle smile played on her lips. Lin Sibin returned from Water Blue Star with Elena and Lin Nianxing, and the family was finally reunited.

They shared their first family reunion dinner, watched their first sunrise together, and took their first walk together in the courtyard. Lin Feng played chess with his father and listened to him recount stories of the days he had been away.

He helped his mother cook, listening to her reminisce about the funny things that happened when he was a child. He walked with his wife in the sunset, their fingers intertwined, needing no words.

He discussed science with his son, watching the child grow into an outstanding scientist. He played with his grandson, watching the little life run, laugh, and thrive in the sunshine.

As the nine universes merged, peaceful days passed by. Lin Feng thought it was all over; the will of death had been purified, the nine universes were merging, human civilization had become heroes, and he—could finally live a peaceful life.

Every morning he drank tea with his father, every noon he ate lunch with his mother, every evening he took a walk with his wife, and every night he told stories to his grandson. He thought this kind of life would continue forever, that the universe would peacefully merge, and that human civilization would prosper in peace. But he was wrong.

The primal will suddenly launched an attack on humanity because humans are the most powerful race, and it also possesses greed. It intends to control the entire human civilization, master the only universe, and become the only god in the universe.

It was a peaceful afternoon. Lin Feng was having tea with his family in the courtyard. The sun was warm, the breeze was gentle, and Lin Nianxing chased a butterfly on the grass, her laughter as clear as bells. Suddenly, the sky changed.

The once azure sky turned pure white in an instant. That white was different from the white of the clouds, different from the white of the sunlight, but a pure, absolute, and breathtaking white.

The voice of primal will came from the sky. It was no longer gentle, grateful, or gratified, but carried a cold, superior, and unquestionable majesty.

"Lin Feng, leader of human civilization. I want to thank you for purifying the will of death, for saving the nine universes, and for fulfilling my mission. But the mission is complete, the will of death has vanished, and the nine universes are merging into one complete universe. And in this complete universe, there can only be one will, only one god, only one ruler."

"Human civilization is too powerful, powerful enough to purify the will to die, powerful enough to create the Spear of Purification, powerful enough to threaten my existence. I cannot allow such a civilization to exist in the universe, I cannot allow such power to threaten my rule, I cannot allow such a will to challenge my authority."

"Therefore, human civilization, submit. Submit to me, submit to the primal will, submit to the one and only God of the universe. Your warships will be under my command, your weapons will be under my control, your civilization will be under my rule. You need not resist, for resistance is futile. You need not fear, for I will treat you kindly. You only need to obey, only need to kneel, only need to acknowledge that I am the one and only God of the universe."

The light of primal will coalesced in the sky into a colossal figure that spanned the entire heavens, looking down upon the earth, upon humanity, upon everything.

It held a white light in its hand, a light containing the power of creation, the power of destruction, and the power to control everything. It was the power of primal will, the power of the origin of the universe, the power of creation and destruction.

Lin Feng stood in the courtyard, looking up at the enormous figure in the sky, his eyes filled with disbelief. The Primal Will, the being that created nine universes, the will that sealed the Will of Death for countless years, the force that had been guiding human civilization forward—had betrayed them.

It's not because human civilization has done anything wrong, but because human civilization is too powerful. It's not because human civilization threatens the safety of the universe, but because human civilization threatens the rule of primal will. It's not because human civilization is untrustworthy, but because primal will has also possessed greed.

He understood, he understood everything. The primal will caused civilizations to plunder each other, not to select the strongest civilization to fight against the will of death, but to select the strongest civilization to devour.

The primal will guides human civilization forward, not to save the universe, but to make human civilization stronger, and then to seize that power for itself.

The primal will thanks human civilization not to express gratitude, but to launch a surprise attack when human civilization lowers its guard.

The Will to Death is the embodiment of the End, while the Primal Will is the embodiment of Creation. The End destroys everything, while Creation controls everything. The Will to Death desires to create a lifeless universe, while the Primal Will desires to create a universe with only one will.

The will to die is the enemy in the open, while the primal will is the enemy in the shadows. The will to die has been purified, and the primal will has finally revealed its true nature.

Lin Feng slowly clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his palm. There was no fear, no despair in his eyes, only anger—the anger of being betrayed, the anger of being deceived, the anger of being used.

Human civilization is not a pawn of primitive will, an instrument of the will of the universe, or a slave to any existence. Human civilization is the master of its own destiny, the owner of its own future, and the hero it has chosen.

He raised his head, his gaze fixed on the enormous figure in the sky, his eyes burning with an indomitable flame.

"Primal Will, you are wrong. Human civilization will not submit to anyone, will not kneel before any being, and will not acknowledge any god. We have purified the Will of Death, we have saved nine universes, and we have fulfilled your mission."

But that's not because of you, it's because we chose to do it. We chose to save the universe because we wanted to. We chose to be heroes because we wanted to be heroes. We chose to fight because we wanted to fight.

"If you want human civilization to submit, then come. If you want to control the universe, then come. If you want to become the only god, then come. Human civilization will not back down, will not surrender, will not yield."

We possess the Spear of Purification, the Barrier of Creation, the Eternal Guardian, and the Final Judgment. We have the power of nine universes, the will of countless civilizations, and the faith of all humankind. If you wish to become the sole god of the universe, then first defeat humankind.

The figure of the primal will trembled in the sky. It hadn't expected human civilization to reject it, hadn't expected Lin Feng to resist it, hadn't expected these ants to dare challenge the authority of a god. Its voice grew colder, more majestic, and more furious.

"Human civilization, you will regret this. You will pay the price for your refusal today, you will be punished for your resistance today, and you will face destruction for your arrogance today."

I am the primordial will, the creator of the universe, the origin of all things, the foundation of all existence. Your power comes from me, your weapons come from me, your civilization comes from me. I can create you, and I can destroy you.

Lin Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. "Then come on, Primal Will. Let's see who created whom, who destroyed whom, and who is the true master of the universe."

In the sky, the light of primal will grew brighter and brighter, filling the entire sky with white light. On the ground, Lin Feng's figure, though small, was as resolute as iron. The war between human civilization and primal will was about to erupt.
