A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 349 The Ending Battle
Deep within the solar system, in a hidden void far removed from the orbits of all planets, space ripples like the surface of water tossed with a pebble, creating circles of invisible waves that can be detected by the most sophisticated instruments.

The Arbitrator aircraft, shaped like a dark prism and no bigger than the palm of a hand, emitted a final, faint pulse from its glowing curvature engine.

The next second, it didn't accelerate or roar; it simply vanished from its original spatial coordinates like an erased pixel.

It left no trace, only a faint, almost undetectable tremor in spacetime, proving that it had existed. It had merged into the slipstream defined by Chen Hui, and along the invisible gradient of the cosmic gravitational potential energy, it began its death gliding beyond the speed of light.

At the Blue Star Tiangong Command Center, the light spot representing the arbitrator on the main screen, the moment it leaps into the curvature slipstream, its signal changes from real-time monitoring to a cold, pre-set status bar indicating that the mission is in progress.

It has transcended the realm of conventional communication, becoming a rolled die, a die that determines the fate of the enemy.

Within a curvature bubble, time loses its meaning.

From the perspective of the external universe, time may have passed in weeks or months.

But for the highly compressed spacetime bubble inside the arbitrator, it may only be a fleeting moment.

It glides along the boundary between reality and illusion, passing through nebulae, skimming over dying stars, and traversing the vast ocean of dark matter, like a raindrop silently blending into ink, approaching the ominous home star system of the Web Weaver civilization.

On the homeworld of the Webweavers, the Temple of Resonance is still trying to analyze the data remnants of the previous failed attack, a mix of frustration, doubt, and unease permeating their mental networks.

Their deep space monitoring network is still operational, scanning for any possible threats.

However, they detected nothing.

The arbitrator's departure from the slipstream is not a leap out in the traditional sense.

It's more like a drop of ink spreading naturally on rice paper, penetrating back into regular spacetime from a higher dimension.

Without an energy burst, gravitational anomalies, or radiation leaks, it appeared abruptly and naturally on the outskirts of the Webweaver's home planet's gravity well, in the shadow of a gas giant, as if it had always belonged there.

Lock, activate, fire.

The arbitrator's cold, logical core completed all procedures in a fraction of a second.

It showed no anger, no hesitation, and not even a confirmation of the concept; it simply carried out the destructive command woven by Chen Hui himself, which contained the deepest rules of the universe.

An invisible, energy-free deconstruction ray shot towards the busy and prosperous Web-weaver homeworld at the speed of light.

The ray itself is not a physical entity; it is a coded physical rule, a forced phase offset instruction.

When this command touched the atmosphere of the Webweavers' homeworld, judgment was swift.

There was no explosion, no fire, no sound.

The upper atmosphere, which is the first to come into contact with the radiation, saw its surging energy storms and suspended web-weaver spacecraft freeze instantly, as if thrown into absolute zero ice, before beginning to disintegrate at the molecular level.

It didn't shatter, but rather dispersed. The spacecraft's structure lost all cohesion, turning into a mass of primitive particles of metal and composite materials. Atmospheric molecular bonds broke, reducing it to a chaotic cloud of atoms.

This effect spreads to the planet's surface at the speed of light.

The magnificent city of the Webweavers, constructed from strange crystals and biopolymers, lost its color, its structure, and its very existence the instant the rays swept across it.

The towers crumbled silently like sandcastles, but the process of collapse was not yet complete; the materials that made them up had already disintegrated.

On the streets, the residents who weave networks in all their different forms, whether they are busy, communicating, or looking up at the sky in fear, have their thought networks physically severed at the same moment. The molecular bonds that make up their bodies and the electromagnetic forces that maintain their nerve signals are forcibly silenced.

They have no pain because they have no time to feel pain.

Their bodies, like sand paintings scattered by the wind, transformed from distinct outlines into a diffuse mist of organic particles, which then completely dissipated and merged into the surrounding disintegrating environment.

When the ocean evaporates, it doesn't turn into gas; instead, it decomposes directly into hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and then even the atomic structure can no longer be maintained.

The earth cracked open, and rocks, soil, and all orderly structures were reduced to chaos.

The entire process was suffocatingly silent.

From a distant cosmic perspective, the once vibrant colors of the Webweaver's home planet are being covered by a rapidly expanding, featureless expanse of gray and white.

That's not death, that's existence being revoked.

It's like an exquisite painting being erased bit by bit, yet irresistibly, from the canvas by an infinitely large eraser.

When the effects of the deconstruction rays finally penetrated the Earth's core and thoroughly combed through the entire planet from the inside out, the space where the Webweaver's home planet once existed was left with only a perfectly spherical, thin cloud of elementary particles, slowly spreading in orbit.

Its track was once empty.

Once the Arbitrator drone confirms that the mission is complete, its internal self-destruct mechanism is activated.

Without an explosion, it quietly disintegrated, just like its effect, into the most basic particles in the universe, leaving no trace of any civilization from Earth.

On another planet in the Webweavers' domain, Chief Navigator Zeraka witnessed this scene firsthand. His tentacles trembled as he sensed the fear in the minds of the other governors who had been woven into the web with him.

They never imagined that a civilization that had only just set foot in space would possess such high-level offensive weapons. According to their investigation, just a few years ago, they had only mastered controlled nuclear fusion.

What exactly enabled them to achieve such explosive growth in just a few years?
He couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, the terrifying weapon only targeted their home planet.

Zeraka secretly rejoiced.

With their current technological capabilities, they have immigration bases on various planets in the Webweaver Starfield. The destruction of their home planet has indeed had a great impact on them, but as long as they are still alive, they will eventually have the day of revenge!

However, he soon widened his eyes.

Just now, the satellite closest to the Webweaver's home planet disappeared without a trace.

Zeraka was devastated to discover that the enemy's attack was not over.

In the conference room, all the officials exchanged glances and completely gave up resistance.

According to data from the sensors, the destructive ripple is spreading outwards at the speed of light.

Although they can accelerate the Purification Threads to faster than light speed, they cannot accelerate a spaceship carrying several people to the speed of light. The energy required is vastly different, and even they cannot do it.

Twenty minutes later, the entire Webweaver Galaxy completely disappeared, as if it had been erased from the entire universe by a mysterious force.

At this moment, the deconstruction rays that had been spreading outwards also disappeared. It turned out that when Chen Hui activated them, he injected a decaying information into them. When the entire Webweaver Galaxy was erased, this decaying information decayed to the critical point, causing the deconstruction rays to lose their effect and the entire chain reaction to terminate completely.

This is the security mechanism designed by Chen Hui!

At the Tiangong command center, the indicator light signifying mission completion turned from red to green, accompanied by a soft notification sound.

Chen Hui glanced at the indicator light, his face expressionless.

He turned around and calmly said to the silent crowd behind him, speechless with shock at the final scene on the screen, "It's all over!"

The sea of ​​stars remained silent, but within that silence, a new judge wielding the laws had emerged. The Blue Star civilization, with a judgment spanning tens of light-years—absolutely precise and absolutely ruthless—issued its own unquestionable declaration to this dark forest.

The barriers stand firm, the deconstruction remains silent.

Under the protection of absolute military power, the solar system entered a golden age known as the Era of Truth.

In the first year of the Truth Era, the first manned research vessel, the Yuanwang, equipped with a mature glow warp engine, successfully reached the Proxima Centauri system after three months and returned safely, marking the formal establishment of the Blue Star civilization as an interstellar civilization.

In the second year, based on curvature gliding technology, a stable stargate channel was established between the solar system and Proxima Centauri. Initially used for unmanned cargo transport and resource exploration, it was gradually opened to rigorously selected research teams and explorers, reducing travel time from several months to several weeks.

In the third year of the Truth Era, the first phase of the first large-scale solar particle farm was completed.

By capturing almost 100% of solar radiation energy through countless energy collectors scattered throughout the solar orbit, and then transmitting it to all parts of the solar system with near-zero loss via a quantum energy transmission network, energy has become a free and ubiquitous public resource, just like air.

In the fifth year of the Truth Era, based on the reverse application of the principles of deconstruction and reconstruction, the technology of material transformation has matured, and any element can be synthesized and transformed at will, making the scarcity of matter a thing of the past.

With the widespread adoption of matter recombination technology, any consumer product, from food to personal aircraft, can be synthesized from basic atoms in near real-time using matter printers. The concept of private ownership is gradually fading, and the socio-economic model is shifting towards one centered on contribution value and creativity.

Eight years later, virtual reality technology has made a breakthrough after being combined with consciousness science. Humans can seamlessly access their own consciousness into a highly realistic virtual universe, a "temple of inspiration." Scientists can build models at the speed of thought, and artists can create art forms that transcend physical limitations.

Energy avatars serve as a vehicle for humans to freely switch between the virtual and the real world.

Under Chen Hui's guidance, the team of biologists successfully deciphered and mastered the underlying logic of life's code, completely eliminating genetic diseases, significantly extending the theoretical upper limit of human lifespan, and making aging a reversible physiological process.

However, the question of whether to carry out large-scale life optimization has sparked a wide-ranging philosophical debate about the nature of humanity.

Twelve years later, in order to prevent tragedies similar to those of the Webweavers civilization and to preserve the potential diversity of life in the universe, the Blue Star civilization launched the Civilization Ark Project.

Tens of thousands of unmanned probes, carrying all the knowledge about Earth's civilization, including warnings and a desire for peace, as well as the necessary seeds for the revival of life, are being sent to various star systems in the Milky Way that may harbor life, not to colonize, but to sow the seeds of knowledge and hope.

The first fully self-consistent ecosystem has been operating successfully for a century on Titan, Saturn's moon, marking humanity's mastery of interstellar survival capabilities independent of Earth. Mars has been completely terraformed, becoming a second blue planet with oceans, an atmosphere, and a thriving ecosystem...

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Hui has long since become a god-like figure in the Blue Star civilization, but he has never given up his pursuit of truth.

Based on Chen Hui's theoretical research on dark matter and dark energy, the Blue Star civilization launched the most ambitious engineering project in its history: the Deep Space Eye.

This is a super observation array built on the framework of the entire solar system's law node network, designed to directly map the distribution of dark matter in the Milky Way and monitor vacuum energy fluctuations on a cosmic scale in real time.

Chen Hui wanted to use this to observe the realm that accounts for about 95% of the total mass-energy of the universe, yet remains invisible like a ghost: dark matter and dark energy!

It's not through indirect calculation, but through actual observation.

Unfortunately, even with the current level of technology of Earth's civilization, progress in this area is still minimal.

Even with chaotic rings, traditional detectors' attempts to capture dark matter are like searching for a snowflake of a specific shape in a blizzard; they pass through the most sophisticated detectors like ghosts, leaving no trace.

Because dark matter and dark energy do not interact with electromagnetic forces, it is fundamentally impossible to detect them through matter composed of electromagnetic forces.

In the Deep Space Eye's central control center, Chen Hui frowned in deep thought.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he summoned the data panel.

[Host: Chen Hui
Chinese Level 8 (98%)

Mathematics Level 10 (31%)

Foreign language proficiency level 8 (91%)

Physics Level 10 (17%)

Chemistry Level 9 (87%)

Biology Level 9 (94%)

Physical Education Level 5 (0%)

Geography Level 2 (0%)

History Level 2 (0%)

Politics Level 10 (99%)

After more than ten years of improvement, his data has been completely transformed. Moreover, after breaking through to level 9 and 10 in a single attribute, he gained two free attribute points, and breaking through to level 7, 8 and 9 in 6 subjects also gave him three attribute points.

His basic attributes have now also received a huge boost.

[Host: Chen Hui
Insight Level 12: (12.3/13)

Judgment Level 11: (11.4/12)

Creativity Level 12: (12.6/13)

Memory Level 9: (9.8/10)

Not only through the free attribute points, but the basic attributes are also slowly improving on their own. Chen Hui's learning can also slowly improve the basic attributes, but the speed is too slow, and it was impossible to notice it before because the time was too short.

Looking at the data panel in front of him, Chen Hui fell into deep thought. So, could the data panel be composed of dark matter or dark energy?
This is also the original motivation behind his obsession with observing dark energy.

"Alternatively, we could try working with the data panel."

Chen Hui had a bold idea: since dark energy and dark matter cannot be observed in the universe, why not observe his own data panel instead?
