304: Chapter 304 is indeed too rigid!

Chen Xi slowly walked out from behind the crowd.

His black hair flew wildly in the energy storm emitted by Zero, but his handsome face showed none of the solemnity expected when facing a Lv.140 True God-tier trialist. Instead... it was filled with undisguised contempt and mockery.

"Physics engine? Underlying logic?"

Chen Xi stood with one hand in his pocket, looking at Zero suspended in mid-air with eyes that treated him like a clown.

"The AI left behind by the ancestors is indeed loyal enough, but it is also... truly too rigid."

"Do you think that because you've locked down our skills and mastered the physical constants of this space, you are invincible?"

Chen Xi slowly raised his right hand, and that [Heaven-Reaching Divine Domain] card, radiating nine-colored divine light, spun leisurely at his fingertips.

"You seem to have forgotten that my title of 'Administrator' isn't just for show."

"[Miracle Creation: Supreme Authority Forced Overwrite]!!!"

In the depths of Chen Xi's eyes, two clusters of crimson-gold data streams lit up like exploding stars!

He did not retreat but instead advanced, stepping into the air and heading straight toward the sky full of dark matter spears!

"Trial beginning! Erasure program, execute!"

Red light flashed in Zero's galaxy-like eyes, and his arm swung down violently!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—!!!

Tens of thousands of dark matter spears, carrying enough kinetic energy to turn a planet into a sieve, poured down toward Chen Xi like a violent storm! Every single spear was imbued with the rule of absolute 'Physical Annihilation'!

However, facing this overwhelming certain-kill strike...

Chen Xi not only didn't summon the [xingtian mecha], he didn't even make a move to dodge.

He simply snapped his fingers with extreme casualness in mid-air.

*Snap.*

"My rules are the true laws of the universe."

"[Code Dimensional Reduction: 2D Card Stripping]! Change for me!!!"

Weng—!!!!!

Following Chen Xi's unreasonably domineering command, the underlying physical code of the entire Earth Core Divine Temple instantly suffered a [Creator-level Dimensional Reduction Strike] billions of times more terrifying than a virus invasion!

A scene appeared that was enough to shatter one's courage and collapse their worldview!

Those dark matter spears, which originally carried the power to destroy heaven and earth and were about to pierce Chen Xi's body, actually stopped without warning less than half a meter from his forehead!

Not just stopped!

Those three-dimensional, terrifying spears radiating a cold metallic luster actually lost their thickness and volume in the next second. Like pieces of paper crushed by a steamroller, they collapsed frantically into a two-dimensional plane!

Sizzle, sizzle—!

In the blink of an eye, the sky full of dark matter spears had all turned into playing cards printed with spear patterns, fluttering down from the air and finally scattering at Chen Xi's feet like waste paper!

"This... this is impossible!!!"

For the first time, a serious logical malfunction called 'crashing' appeared in Zero's deep, galaxy-like eyes. His precisely calculated AI brain simply could not analyze the absurd phenomenon before him that violated the basic physics of the entire universe!

"You... you tampered with my source code?! You can actually perform a dimensional reduction strike directly on high-dimensional energy?!"

"I told you, times have changed, you old fossil."

Chen Xi floated amidst the rain of falling cards, his eyes as cold as a God-King sitting high above the clouds.

He slammed his right hand down, and a majestic, peerless Miracle Law directly locked onto Zero below!

"[Sovereign Judgment: Logic Lock]!"

"Kneel down and speak to me!!!"

Boom!!!

Zero's Lv.140 True God-tier body didn't have even a shred of room for resistance before Chen Xi's unreasonable creator authority!

The energy shield he was so proud of shattered instantly, and the hydraulic systems in his legs let out a scream of being overwhelmed. He was forced down by this great dimensional reduction power until his knees slammed into the ground, kneeling heavily before Chen Xi!

Beep, beep, beep... system crash... underlying logic overwritten... Supreme Administrator authority confirmed..."

Red electrical sparks flashed frantically across Zero's body surface. He struggled to lift his head, and the look he gave Chen Xi no longer held the previous testing and coldness; it was replaced by complete submission and fanaticism from the deepest core of his soul!

"Test... concluded."

Zero lowered his proud head, his voice intermittent but filled with endless relief:

"Lord Administrator... Your power has already surpassed the Imperial Marshal of back then... surpassed the cognitive limits of this universal dimension."

"You... are qualified to take over the Empire's final legacy."

With Zero's submission, the oppressive sealing force in the hall instantly dissipated. Su Xiaoxiao and the others finally regained their ability to move. They looked at Chen Xi in mid-air, who seemed like a God of Creation, their eyes filled with adoration that was almost tangible.

Chen Xi slowly descended from the air and walked to the crystal platform.

He reached out with the hand that had once pinched a High-dimensional Deity into a card and firmly grasped that [god-creating cube fragment] radiating dark golden light.

When he took out the other half of the cube from his person, the moment the two fragments touched—

Weng—!!!!!

A sacred light billions of times more dazzling than a supernova explosion instantly penetrated the crust of Wasteland Star and shot straight into deep space!

Within this light, a perfect, seamless [Ultimate God-Creating Cube], its surface flowing with the infinite mysteries and truths of the universe, finally welcomed its complete reassembly in Chen Xi's palm after hundreds of thousands of years of slumber!

[Ding! Ultimate Hidden Quest completed!]

[Congratulations to the Host! Obtained the Ancient Human Empire's Supreme Authority Artifact—[Creation God-Creating Cube (Complete Form)]!]

[Successfully Unlocked: [Ultimate Mechanical Ascension Blueprint], [Universal Demi-God Genetic Sequence], [Abyss Rift Ultimate Repair Solution]!]

"Finally... I've got it."

Chen Xi tightly gripped the pulsing cube, feeling the terrifying foundation within that was enough to allow the entire human civilization to leap across tens of thousands of years of technological gaps in an instant. A wildly arrogant curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

However.

Just as Chen Xi was about to carefully examine the data inside the cube.

Rumble—!!!!!

A wave of destructive pressure, millions of times more terrifying than Zero's earlier outburst and enough to make the entire Wasteland Star tremble violently, suddenly crashed into this Earth Core Divine Temple through some ultra-long-distance spatial projection from the distant depths of space!

"Who gave you the audacity... to touch something reserved by my Star God Race?!"

A grand, furious, terrifying divine voice, seemingly composed of the destruction of countless galaxies, boomed within the minds of Chen Xi and the others!

Immediately after, above the temple's dome, space shattered completely like glass!

An indescribably large face, composed entirely of pure stellar flames and high-dimensional laws, slowly squeezed out from the shattered void. Those eyes, burning with rage, locked onto Chen Xi below.
