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

Like the will to death, the primordial cosmic will has no physical form; it is merely a separate force of will. Therefore, the only way to achieve its goal is to control living beings.

Lin Feng stood in the courtyard, looking up at the white figure spanning the sky, his eyes flashing with a cold light. The primordial will cannot be directly attacked, destroyed, or controlled—because it has no physical form; it is merely a will, a law, a power.

It needs a vessel, a puppet, a creature it can control to realize its ambitions. The will of death controls the dead and resurrected warships, while the primal will controls living beings and existing civilizations.

As the primordial cosmic will emitted a white light that filled the entire universe, that light poured down from the sky, cascading down to the earth, the ocean, and every corner of the starry sky like a waterfall.

It pierced the atmosphere, the Earth's crust, and space itself, covering every galaxy, every star, and every planet in the nine merging universes. All life trembled under its white light, all civilizations trembled in fear under its primal power, and all existence submitted to the majesty of the cosmic will.

A divine tree, large enough to cover the entire universe, appeared throughout the universe.

White light coalesced in the starry sky, and from the center of the universe, a colossal divine tree was growing at a visible speed. Its roots penetrated the spatial rifts created when the nine universes merged, drawing upon the most primal power of the cosmos from those rifts. Its trunk was as thick as a thousand galaxies side by side, its diameter measured in light-years, and its height in billions of light-years.

Its canopy spreads across the starry sky, covering every corner of the nine merging universes. Each leaf is as big as a star, and each branch is as long as a galaxy.

The divine tree was exactly the same as the one in the Pandora galaxy. Purple light poured down from its canopy, illuminating the nine merging universes, every human planet, and the fearful faces of every human being.

"This is?"

Lin Feng stared at the divine tree that covered the entire universe, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"The Tree of Pandora".

Lin Feng looked at the divine tree before him and spoke coldly. His voice echoed in the courtyard, in the command center, and in the ears of every human being.

The divine tree that they defeated and fled in the colorful galaxy, the enemy they routed in the parallel universe, the nemesis they searched for for countless years but could never find—it turns out that it had always been in the hands of the primal will, under the control of the primal will, and under the protection of the primal will.

He destroyed the death will of nine universes, and he helped the primal will merge the nine universes into one. He had once searched for the Pandora Tree to destroy this enemy, but he did not expect that the Pandora Tree had now been controlled by the primal will. No wonder he could not find the other party.

From the very beginning, the Primal Will has been exploiting human civilization, using them to purify the Will of Death, to merge the nine universes, and to clear away all obstacles. And when all obstacles have been cleared, when human civilization has lost all its enemies, when only the Primal Will and human civilization remain in the entire universe—the Primal Will finally reveals its trump card.

"Human civilization, your existence is doomed."

The primordial cosmic will, controlling the Pandora Tree, decisively launched an attack on the entire human civilization.

In an instant, the crown of the divine tree shone with a blinding purple light, a light more terrifying than the black mist of the will of death, and more despairing than the resurrection speed of the undead legion.

Hundreds of millions of branches extend from the tree's canopy, each branch stretching hundreds of millions of light-years, each carrying the terrifying power to destroy an entire galaxy. The branches lash across the starry sky, shattering space and collapsing time wherever they pass. Stars extinguish in a purple light, planets are reduced to dust by the lashes of the branches, and nebulae dissipate within the tree's roots.

Those star systems that had just been reborn in the light of purification were once again plunged into destruction by the attack of the Divine Tree. Those souls that had just found peace were awakened anew by the purple light of the Divine Tree. Those civilizations that had just glimpsed hope were plunged back into despair by the betrayal of the primal will.

Lin Feng watched all this, only smiling coldly. A slight upturn of his lips revealed a chilling, cruel smile, tinged with vengeful satisfaction. The Primal Will believed that human civilization had exhausted its power after purifying the Will of Death, that it had lowered its guard in celebration of victory, and that it had forgotten war in its peaceful existence. The Primal Will was wrong.

The next moment, Lin Feng decisively used the Final Judgment, a weapon designed to prevent the use of primal will.

"Final Judgment, initiate." Lin Feng's voice echoed in the command center, calm yet cold.

Deep within the solar system, a colossal device a thousand kilometers high emitted a profound black light. Ten thousand times the compressed singularity of the universe's origin simultaneously detonated at its core, releasing an ultimate power capable of creating a void. The Final Judgment—humanity's last trump card, a final judgment to perish alongside the will to die, the ultimate weapon Lin Feng had prepared from the very beginning for the primordial will—was activated.

The cannon of the Final Judgment was aimed at the divine tree that covered the entire universe, at the puppet controlled by the primordial will, and at the heart of the traitor. A deep black beam of light shot out from the cannon, containing the power of nothingness, the law of ending, and the ultimate judgment that would utterly erase all existence.

Wherever the beam of light passed, space shattered into nothingness, time ceased to flow after collapsing, and matter vanished completely after disintegrating. It wasn't destroyed, it wasn't annihilated, but rather it was utterly erased from the level of existence.

The branches of the divine tree were like paper before the black beam of light. The purple branches, carrying destructive power, vanished into nothingness the instant they touched the beam, leaving not even a fragment. The canopy of the divine tree began to dissipate under the illumination of the black beam. The leaves, some the size of stars, turned to dust in the power of nothingness, and the branches, some as long as the Milky Way, disappeared completely in the law of termination.

The trunk of the divine tree was struck by the black beam of light. At that moment, the entire universe trembled. The primal will let out a deafening roar, a roar filled with disbelief, rage at betrayal, and fear of annihilation. "Impossible…this is impossible…how could you possess such a weapon…how could you create such power…this is impossible…"

Lin Feng stood in the courtyard, looking up at the divine tree collapsing in the black beam of light, and at the primal will dissipating in the power of nothingness. His eyes held no pity, no hesitation, only a cold, resolute determination. "You're wrong, primal will. You were wrong from the very beginning. You thought human civilization was your pawn, your tool, your servant. But you didn't know that human civilization has never been anyone's pawn."

We are not your tools, not opponents of the will of death, not playthings of the cosmic will. We are humanity, a civilization that emerged from Earth, a race that has endured countless wars, countless desperate situations, and countless sacrifices, yet still stands strong. We purified the will of death, not because of you, but because we chose to do so. We created the final judgment, not for the will of death, but for you.

The primal will hadn't expected Lin Feng to have prepared a weapon capable of eliminating it at any moment. The Divine Tree utterly collapsed under the black beam of the Final Judgment; hundreds of millions of branches vanished into nothingness in the power of nothingness; its canopy, covering the entire universe, completely dissipated under the laws of termination; and its roots, embedded in spatial rifts, were completely erased in the realm of nothingness.

The Pandora Tree—the enemy that escaped into the colorful galaxy, the nemesis that grew stronger in a parallel universe, the puppet controlled by the primal will—vanished completely under the power of the final judgment.

He was utterly terrified and told Lin Feng that he could coexist peacefully with humanity and rule the entire universe together.

The voice of primal will echoed in Lin Feng's mind, no longer majestic, no longer aloof, no longer cold and ruthless, but filled with fear, pleading, and despair at death. "Lin Feng, stop...stop...we can coexist peacefully...human civilization and I can jointly rule the entire universe...you do what you want to do, I'll do what I want to do...we won't interfere with each other...we'll become gods of the universe together..."

Lin Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. "Peaceful coexistence? Joint rule? Non-interference? Primal Will, do you think I'd believe you? You betrayed human civilization once, and you'll betray it a second time. You deceived human civilization once, and you'll deceive it a second time. You used us once, and you'll use us a second time. Human civilization doesn't need to share the universe with anyone, doesn't need to coexist with any will, and doesn't need to acknowledge any god."

However, Lin Feng overlooked the fact that the Final Judgment was about to be activated, preparing to completely destroy the original will and liberate the entire universe. It would not allow any will to control the universe again, and the civilizations in the universe would only act according to their own ideas, whether it was war or destruction.

The black beam of final judgment continued its advance, piercing through the remains of the divine tree, through the light of the primordial will, and through the very origin of the universe. The primordial will began to dissipate within the black beam; its power crumbled in the force of nothingness, its consciousness collapsed under the laws of finality, and its existence was erased from the realm of nothingness.

"Damn it, you destroyed me, and the entire universe will collapse, because I am the universe, and the universe is me."

The final voice of the primal will echoed in Lin Feng's mind, filled with despair, anger, and a mad urge to perish together with his opponent.

"Die."

Lin Feng laughed coldly, completely destroying the primal will.

The black beam of final judgment pierced the core of the primordial will, utterly erasing its existence from the universe. The moment the primordial will vanished, the entire universe began to collapse.

When the primordial will collapsed, the entire universe did indeed begin to collapse. The nine merging universes, having lost the primordial will's ties, began to shatter from within. Stars went out one after another, not destroyed, but having lost their reason for existence.

Planets shattered one after another, not from attack, but from the loss of their natural order. Space was collapsing, time was flowing backward, matter was disintegrating, and energy was dissipating. The entire universe, the nine merging parallel universes, all the galaxies, all the stars, all the planets, all life—was heading towards its end.

But Lin Feng didn't care and used his last trump card, Time-Space Restructuring.

He stood in the courtyard, looking up at the collapsing sky, at the extinguishing stars, at the universe heading towards its end. His eyes held no fear, only tranquility. The spacetime reconstruction device—the ultimate power he had secretly researched for countless years, the power of creation capable of reconstructing the entire universe, the last trump card he had prepared for himself—was activated.

A soft light shone from the core of the spacetime reconstruction device. This light was different from the black of the Final Judgment, the gold of the Spear of Purification, and the white of the Primal Will. It was a light that encompassed all colors in the universe, yet transcended them all. It was the light of creation, the light of rebirth, the first light at the birth of the universe.

Light spread from the deepest reaches of the solar system, enveloping the nine collapsing universes, the extinguishing stars, and the shattering planets. Under the light, the collapsing space began to reassemble, the reversed time began to return to normal, the disintegrated matter began to reform, and the dissipated energy began to gather again.

He spent three months erasing all the original will, then rebuilt the entire civilization, and finally the universe stabilized.

Three months, ninety days, two thousand one hundred and sixty hours. Lin Feng spent a full three months, under the power of spacetime reconstruction, gradually reshaping the entire universe as a god.

He erased all traces of the primal will in the universe, eliminated all its interference with the laws of the universe, and reshaped all its distortions of the order of all things. He made the universe no longer need any will to sustain it, all things no longer need any god to control them, and civilization no longer need any ruler to govern it. The universe operates according to its own laws, stars burn according to the laws of physics, planets orbit according to gravitational forces, and life evolves according to natural selection.

He rebuilt human civilization, resurrected comrades who died in war, rebuilt homes lost in conquest, and reunited families shattered by betrayal. He gave human civilization the brightest future, human warriors the most glorious rest, and humankind its people the most peaceful life.

He made human civilization one among countless civilizations in the universe, no longer a chosen hero, no longer a tool to save the universe, no longer a pawn of any will. Human civilization is simply human civilization, free to develop, free to choose, and free to determine its own destiny.

The universe stabilized. The nine universes merged into one, and all life reunited under the same starry sky. Stars burned, planets revolved, life multiplied, and civilization developed. There was no threat of the will of death, no control of the primal will, and no dominion of any will. The universe operated according to its own laws, all things existed according to their own principles, and civilization developed according to its own will.

Lin Feng stood in the courtyard, gazing up at the stable starry sky, at the twinkling stars, at the planets orbiting in their orbits, a calm light shining in his eyes. The war was over, all wars were over. The will to death had been purified, the primal will had been destroyed, the universe had been reorganized, and human civilization was free.

He turned around and went inside. Shen Moran was waiting for him, Lin Guodong was waiting for him, Su Wenqing was waiting for him, Lin Sibin was waiting for him, and Lin Nianxing was waiting for him.

The family can finally be truly reunited in a peaceful universe, under the free starry sky, in a future without war, betrayal, or sacrifice.

In the starry sky, the sun, five thousand times larger than itself, radiated a warm light. The light illuminated homes being rebuilt, families reunited, and the faces of every free human being.
