330: Chapter 330 Zeroing Completed! A New Universe is Born

The Storm Recycling Station operated until the seventh day, when the last trace of grayish-white light was sucked into the golden vortex.

At that moment, the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms fell silent.

Those alarm sounds that had lasted for who knows how long, those piercing red warnings, those frantically jumping death data—all disappeared.

Replacing them was an unprecedented tranquility.

Zhang Hao stood at the entrance of the command center, looking up at the sky and murmuring, "Is it over?"

No one answered.

Because no one knew the answer.

Three seconds later, a golden light exploded from the void.

That light was brighter than the sun, farther than the stars, and more brilliant than any language could describe. It erupted from the center of the storm, instantly sweeping through the entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Wherever the light reached, the ruins eroded by the storm began to glow.

The tree of heavenly dao in the Dead Silence Star Domain, whose crown had originally withered, suddenly sprouted countless new buds. These buds grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the entire star domain in an instant. Golden light cascaded from the tree crown, illuminating every inch of the land.

The spiritual veins of the Spiritual Energy Star Domain, those mineral veins that had been drained dry, suddenly surged with new spiritual energy. That spiritual energy was purer and denser than before, making all Cultivators unable to resist taking a deep breath.

The ice fields of the Icebound Star Domain, those melted glaciers, refroze. The new layer of ice was thicker and firmer than before, and countless complex runes appeared on it—it was Morgana's inheritance fragments taking effect.

In the Virtual Heaven of the Data Star Domain, those extinguished points of light relit one by one. Data from countless civilizations revived from the ruins, and those beings once judged as "worthless" gained new life in the new universe.

Even those recycled civilizations—the low emotional concentration data turned into construction materials—now transformed into countless points of light, drifting to every corner of the new universe. They would become the foundation of the new universe, the cradle for countless future civilizations.

Zhang Hao watched all this, his eyes wide as copper bells.

"Boss, this... what's going on?"

Lin Chen did not answer.

He just stood there, watching the light, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Yuanshi's voice came from the side, carrying a sentiment never felt in three million years:

Zeroing is complete.

Zhang Hao turned to look at him.

"Complete? Then this light is..."

"A new universe," Yuanshi said. "As the old universe is annihilated, a new universe is born. This is the law of the universe and the inevitability of the rules."

He looked at Lin Chen.

"But this time, the new universe is different from before."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"How is it different?"

Yuanshi raised his hand and pointed at the sky.

There, the golden light was slowly condensing, transforming into countless stars. The arrangement of those stars was completely different from the old universe—they were not disordered but were arranged according to a certain rule, forming a giant pattern.

That pattern was a coin.

The character "Era" was engraved in the center of the coin, surrounded by countless points of light—it was precisely the logo of New Era Development.

Zhang Hao gasped.

"Boss, the new universe... is paying tribute to us?"

Lin Chen smiled.

"It's not a tribute. It's the rules."

He pointed to the stars.

"I designed the underlying rules of the new universe."

Yuanshi nodded.

"Yes. During the Kindling Project, the 'Civilization Continuation Plan' submitted by Lin Chen was adopted by the Administration Bureau. The physical constants, basic laws, and operational mechanisms of the new universe all follow his plan."

Zhang Hao was completely stunned.

"So, so... Boss is now the Creator God?"

Lin Chen looked at him.

"Creator God? I'm just a businessman."

Zhang Hao: "..."

Arrogant Dragon, who rarely spoke, chimed in from the side:

"A businessman can design a universe?"

Lin Chen shrugged.

"Why not? Designing a universe and designing a company are similar in principle. It's all about setting rules, allocating resources, and managing operations."

Arrogant Dragon fell silent.

He realized he would never be able to understand the boss's brain.

The young girl Morgana walked over and stood beside Lin Chen.

She looked up at the stars and said softly:

"Did she see it?"

Lin Chen knew who she was asking about.

"She saw it."

Morgana turned to look at him.

"How do you know?"

Lin Chen pointed at the sky.

"Among those points of light, there is a part of her."

Morgana was silent.

Then she smiled.

That smile was exactly the same as the Morgana of back then—proud, stubborn, and carrying a hint of relief.

"That's good."

The Chaos Ancient God, Ancient Immortal Emperor, and Mechanical God also returned from the void.

The Chaos Ancient God's chaotic aura was purer than before; although those barriers were broken through, it also allowed him to break through his bottleneck. He looked at the new universe, silent for a long time.

The Ancient Immortal Emperor's imperial robes were covered in dust, but his eyes were brighter than before. Those civilizations he had once comforted were now bursting with vitality in the new universe.

The Mechanical God's light screen flickered faster than ever; he was recording every bit of data from the new universe, preparing for future development.

The three of them walked up to Lin Chen.

The Chaos Ancient God spoke, his voice much gentler than before:

"Lin Chen, we are convinced."

Lin Chen looked at him.

"Convinced of what?"

The Chaos Ancient God pointed at the new universe.

"The universe you designed is stronger than any we have ever seen."

Lin Chen smiled.

"Nonsense. I spent money on it."

The Chaos Ancient God was stunned.

"Spent money?"

Lin Chen nodded.

"Doesn't designing a universe cost money? The deductions, the calculations, the plans—which one doesn't have a cost?"

The Chaos Ancient God fell silent.

He realized he truly could not understand this man's logic.

The Ancient Immortal Emperor said from the side:

"Lin Chen, what's next?"

Lin Chen looked at him.

"Next?"

He looked around at the cheering crowds.

Reconstruction.

Bring all the civilizations from the old universe into the new universe.

Let them start over here.

The Ancient Immortal Emperor nodded.

The Mechanical God had already begun calculating reconstruction plans.

Zhang Hao leaned in and asked in a low voice:

"Boss, what about those recycled civilizations? Are they really gone?"

Lin Chen was silent for a second.

Then he pointed at the starry sky of the new universe.

"Look at those stars."

Zhang Hao looked up.

Those stars were more numerous, brighter, and denser than in the old universe.

"Every star is a recycled civilization," Lin Chen said. "They have become the foundation of the new universe, the cradle of future civilizations. In the future, every civilization born in the new universe will use the construction materials they contributed."

"They are gone, but not completely gone."

Zhang Hao was silent.

After a long time, he said:

"Boss, does this count as... giving them eternal life?"

Lin Chen looked at him.

"It counts."

Zhang Hao smiled.

In that smile, there was relief and also admiration.

In the distance, the cheering grew louder.

Those surviving civilizations were celebrating the birth of the new universe.

And those civilizations that had turned into stars flickered quietly in the night sky.

As if they were also celebrating.
