273: Chapter 273 Needlework

At this critical moment of life and death, the virtual holographic projection of the AI Morning Star reappeared in Chen Xi's mind. However, this time, Morning Star's image was no longer a cold pale blue, but a tragic crimson, as if a human were burning their very life force.

"Morning Star? What are you doing?!"

Chen Xi's heart jolted violently.

"Your Excellency, Administrator."

In Morning Star's electronic voice, there was a touch of unprecedented, deeply human tenderness, as if she had finally found relief:

"In the catastrophe twenty-seven thousand years ago, as the Sector's main control AI, I failed to protect the Empire's pioneers. I could only watch helplessly as they perished along with this abyss to cover the evacuation of the sparks."

"I have waited alone in this silent graveyard for twenty-seven thousand years. I thought only the cold logic of executing orders remained in my code..."

Morning Star's virtual image slowly reached out toward Chen Xi, as if she wanted to touch the last successor of the Ancient Human Empire who had arrived across endless ages:

"But seeing you... seeing this group of young people who can burn their very souls for one another..."

"I suddenly understood why those pioneers back then chose to face death with a smile, knowing they would die."

"The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage. The greatness of humanity is the greatness of facing fear."

"Your Excellency, Administrator, within my core database, the underlying code for the Ancient Human Empire's last [Ultimate Rule Firewall] is preserved. This is the 'Sky-Mending Protocol' written by the Empire, which exhausted the resources of the entire universe specifically to seal the [Void Abyss]."

"Now, I offer my core logic, all my data processing power, along with these twenty-seven thousand years of loneliness and obsession..."

"All as a sacrifice to you!"

Buzz————!!!

As Morning Star's voice fell, her virtual holographic image instantly disintegrated, turning into billions of brilliantly radiant blue data streams! These data streams ignored the distance of space, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and frantically surged into the Mythic Card that Chen Xi was currently fusing!

"Morning Star!!!" Chen Xi's eyes nearly split from the strain. He felt the fusion progress of the card in his hand skyrocket as it gained massive data processing power, and his heart felt as if it were being violently squeezed by an invisible giant hand.

[Ding! Ancient Human Empire's highest-level 'Sky-Mending Protocol' code injection detected!]

[Godhead Analysis progress has exceeded 100%!]

[Miracle: Extreme Creation Fusion—Great Success!]

Boom————!!!!!

An indescribable, supreme light that transcended the three-dimensional and high-dimensional planes, reaching directly into the Great Dao of the universe's origin, erupted from Chen Xi's palm, instantly illuminating every corner of the Sirius Sector!

Amidst that blinding light, Chen Xi slowly stood his battered body of flesh and blood upright.

In his crimson-gold eyes, which shed tears of blood, sparkled an unprecedented majesty of creation.

At his fingertips, an ultimate card, transparent like glazed glass, with countless golden rule codes and a deep starry sky matrix flowing on its surface, floated quietly.

That was an absolute taboo card that surpassed the Mythic level and truly touched the authority of the universe's creator!

"You bug hiding in the gutter..."

Chen Xi's voice, through the highest administrator permissions he had just unlocked, turned directly into a cosmic broadcast, exploding like thunder across the entire starry sky:

"Watch closely."

"This is what we humans use..."

"To mend this universe—the [Needle and Thread]!!!"

"[Ultimate Creation Card: Cosmic Great Wall · Abyss Seal]!!!"

"Suppress for me!!!"

Accompanied by Chen Xi's hoarse roar that seemed to make even his soul scream, he violently hurled the transparent card—which condensed twenty-seven thousand years of ancient human obsession and gathered the world origin of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Domain and the supreme power of the [Star Abyss Godhead]—toward that pitch-black Rift tearing through the starry sky!

Swish————!!!

The moment the card left his hand, it did not turn into any sword light or blade shadow, nor did it produce any world-destroying elemental explosion.

It disintegrated instantly in the vacuum, turning into billions of [Rule Code Runes] flashing with golden divine light!

These golden runes were like sappers with self-awareness, following trajectories that exceeded the speed of light as they frantically surged toward the black giant hand that was trying to erase Lin Shan's shield, and the endless abyss Rift behind it.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle——!!!

When the golden rule runes touched that black shadow representing "absolute nothingness," the entire universe seemed to emit a sharp, grating sound of friction.

That once-overbearing black giant hand, which could easily erase fleets and planets, actually became as rigid as a beast caught in superglue under the entanglement of these golden runes!

Not only that, but after the golden runes touched the nothingness, they were not erased. Instead, like the toughest steel wires, they pierced into the interior of the black giant hand one by one and began to forcibly rewrite its "non-existent" attribute!

Roar————?!!!

A terrifying roar that could not be transmitted by sound but could only trigger a violent storm on a spiritual level erupted from the deepest depths of the abyss Rift. That was the unspeakable ultimate natural disaster, letting out a roar of fury and disbelief after feeling its own laws being forcibly tampered with.

"Shut the hell up! Get back in there!!!"

Chen Xi was suspended in the void, his seven orifices still bleeding, but his hands were like those of a conductor playing a grand cosmic symphony, frantically pulling at those golden rule threads in the void.

Under his control, those billions of golden runes not only bound the black giant hand but also spread along the hand's arm all the way to the edge of the millions-of-kilometers-long abyss Rift.

Then, a scene so shocking it was beyond words appeared!

Those golden runes actually connected and intertwined, weaving a vast, boundless "Golden Net" in the vacuum of space! With an unreasonable and domineering posture, this net forcibly plastered itself over the Rift like a giant medical patch, deathly sealing shut that cosmic mouth that attempted to devour everything!

"[Physical Constants: Re-anchoring]!"

"[Space Barrier: Absolute Suturing]!!!"

Chen Xi's hands slammed together toward the center.

Rumble rumble rumble————!!!

Accompanied by a terrifying roar that seemed as if it would shatter the entire galaxy, that giant golden net began to contract inward frantically!

The black giant hand protruding halfway from the Rift let out a silent wail under the powerful strangulation and sealing of the golden runes.
