When the last ray of blue flames died out, Su Ye's heart was filled with star crystals, and the surface of the crystals was glowing with the faint light of the first generation star pattern. The Snow Shadow Wolf shrank back into its cub form, and the gray spots on the tip of its tail faded away, but its golden pupils reflected the horrible truth - the star pattern between the eyebrows of the first generation corpse was slowly branding on his forehead through quantum tunneling, like a branding iron engraving an eternal curse.
Sister Ling Shuang fell like a puppet with its strings cut off. The spider egg dust spelled out the first generation of secret code in the air: [The container eventually becomes the host]. Madam Hong's mechanical prosthesis split into a star-patterned carving knife, and the tip of the knife carved a new contract inscription in the void. Deep in the collapsed ruins, the bronze fragments automatically reassembled into a coffin. The star map on the coffin was missing only the Canglang star position - the vacant shape perfectly matched the lines on Su Ye's forehead, as if waiting for fate to return.
The Snow Shadow Wolf suddenly grabbed the corner of Su Ye's clothes, and carved a fragment of the first generation's notes on the ground with its claws: [On the night of the complete star pattern, the host will sacrifice to the starry sky]. The Canglang constellation in the night sky exploded, and star fragments fell like a rainstorm. Each fragment reflected the illusion of Su Ye's future turning into stardust - his body quantized and dissipated in the light, and his consciousness was imprisoned in the eternal corridor of the bronze coffin.
"The End Protocol has been detected to be activated—" Qian Shisan's afterimage condensed in the star rain, and the electronic sound was filled with cold joy, "Countdown to the rebirth of the star dome: 30 days." Under the moonlight, Su Ye's shadow stood up independently, and the first-generation star pattern on his forehead was as red as blood. In the magma lake at the deepest part of the mother nest, the newly born star pattern cocoon was slowly pulsating, and the twin totems of the Snow Shadow Wolf and Su Ye were quietly growing on the cocoon membrane.
The remains of the Canglang constellation pierced through the clouds like a sword of heavenly punishment, and crashed into the earth with a bloody tail flame. The moment each piece of fallen star debris touched the ground, the shell broke apart, and countless gray-white star-patterned insect swarms emerged. These insects were only the size of a fingernail, but when they flapped their wings, they made a piercing sound like metal scraping. The suction cups at the end of their limbs left a charred first-generation secret code on the ground: [The starry sky is me, and I am eternal calamity]. The blue star marrow oozed out of the scorch marks, crawling like a living thing, etching the land within a radius of 100 miles into a huge energy-eating magic circle.
Su Ye's right arm spasmed uncontrollably, and the star pattern activated and condensed into a three-meter-long light blade. He swept his sword across, and the chopped insect corpses reorganized in the pool of blood, turning into smaller energy-eating runes. The runes spread like a plague, and wherever they passed, the grass and trees withered and the rocks collapsed into powder. "They are devouring the energy of the earth veins!" Mo Yan's red lotus fire formed a fire net, but he saw the insect swarm penetrate the flames, and the star pattern on the shell was actually absorbing the entropy energy in the flames.
The Snow Shadow Wolf cub leaped onto the bronze pillar at the top of the ruins, and the star-blue lines on the tip of its tail spun back into a black hole vortex. The violent gravitational field tore the insect swarm apart, and the gray-white star remains were sucked into the core of the vortex like the Milky Way rolling back. The cub's fur stood up, and its golden eyes oozed painful bloodshot - every time it absorbed a bit of the power of the first generation, the contract pattern on its forehead dimmed a bit. Mo Yan's red lotus pattern suddenly burned to his shoulder blade, and the boy staggered to his knees: "The contract backfired... these star remains are rewriting our gene chain!"
Madam Hong's mechanical prosthetic eyes burst out a dazzling red light: [Mother Nest Regeneration Protocol Activated - Star Remains Conversion Rate 71%]. She inserted the tungsten steel prosthesis into the crack in the ground, and the ancient jade energy was injected into the ground along the prosthetic meridians. The ground collapsed, revealing the remains of the mother nest that was a thousand meters deep below - countless spider eggs were floating in the viscous star marrow solution, and the surface of the egg membrane was beating with the same countdown as the back of Su Ye's hand. Ling Shuang's ice soul spider silk pierced the core of the swarm, and the mother larva pulled out actually had a human face, which was 70% similar to Su Ye. "They use your genes to cultivate the core of the mother nest!" Ling Shuang exclaimed in a trembling voice, and the spider silk suddenly broke, and the larva fell to the ground and exploded, and the holographic coordinates of the first generation laboratory emerged in the blood mist.
Su Ye's heart was struck hard, and the crystal of the star skeleton burst into strong light. His shadow twisted and expanded under the moonlight, and the first generation of star patterns crawled all over the shadow blade like thorns, condensing into a dark quantum humanoid. The shadow blade grinned silently, and wherever the blade pointed, the space cracked like brittle glass.
The trajectory of the shadow blade slashed through reality, and a wolf star exploded from the forehead of the Snow Shadow Wolf cub. The moment the two energies collided, the space-time rift opened like a giant mouth. Ye Wuhen's broken blade stuck to the joint of the shadow blade, and the bronze blade surface and the quantum blade rubbed against each other to produce dazzling sparks: "Enter the rift! The source of the first generation's fear is inside!"
Everyone fell into the quantum turbulence, and the shadow blade turned into gray mist and followed. The fragments of space and time passed through the skin like a sharp mirror, reflecting countless possibilities: Su Ye was swallowed by the mother nest, Madam Hong controlled the starry sky, and the Snow Shadow Wolf became a puppet of the first generation... Finally, it was frozen in the original scene of the first generation laboratory-a blood pool with a diameter of one kilometer surging with star pattern solution, tens of thousands of experimental subjects were suspended in it like puppets, and the umbilical cord gathered into a biological cable, connecting the hundred-meter-long beast at the bottom of the pool.
"That is... my origin." The thoughts of the Snow Shadow Wolf cub entered Su Ye's mind. In the bronze culture chamber in the center of the blood pool, the gray spots on the tail tip of the first generation original body were devouring the host's life essence through the blood vessels. Madam Hong embedded the star skeleton crystal into the mechanical prosthesis, and the surface of the prosthesis appeared with energy-eating runes that were the same as the bronze coffin: "Your mother destroyed the experimental data before the fire, but she didn't expect... I backed up all the core codes."
The shadow blade reassembled at the edge of the blood pool, and the thoughts of the first generation shook time and space: "See? You are just the key to my rebirth!" The blade pointed directly at Su Ye's brow, but was blocked by the phantom of the Star Sky Giant Wolf before touching the skin.
The Snow Shadow Wolf cub howled and jumped into the blood pool, and the gray spots of the first generation original body flowed upstream along the tip of its tail. The water in the pool boiled and vaporized, and the cub and the giant wolf phantom merged into the Starry Sky Giant Wolf - the left pupil was as blue as the vortex of the galaxy, the right pupil was as gray as the frozen soil of death, and the star pattern on the forehead cracked into a double mark. The giant wolf waved its claws and set off a storm of time and space, and the laboratory scene shattered like brittle glass: "The first generation gave me the power of devouring, and you gave me humanity."
Shadow Blade solidified in the storm, the first generation's roar resonated with the wolf's howl: "Kill him! Otherwise you will always be a dog bound by the contract!" The star crystal in Su Ye's heart was overloaded and cracked, and golden blood oozed from the cracks. He held the fragment and stabbed it at his forehead, and the star veins burst out under his skin like a dragon: "If this is my fate... let the star dome reclaim everything!"
The giant wolf's claws pierced through Shadow Blade's chest, and the blue flames and gray spots intertwined into a purifying storm. The first generation of star patterns peeled off from Su Ye's body and condensed into the remaining pages of the star dome contract in the center of the storm. On the yellowed paper, the bloody clause was exactly the taboo regulations that Madam Red burned with her own hands twenty years ago: [Sacrifice the host and restart the star dome].
"Do you think I'm helping the first generation?" Madam Hong's mechanical prosthesis inserted into the remaining pages of the contract, and the energy of the ancient jade tampered with the terms. The moment she tore off the mask, Mo Yan's Red Lotus Blade almost slipped out of her hand - that face completely overlapped with the experimental photo of Su Ye's mother, only the mechanical prosthetic eye in the left eye flashed a cold blue light. "Your mother tried to distort science with maternal love, and I... completed her research."
The shock wave of the explosion of the Starry Sky Contract shocked everyone back to reality, and the reorganized Canglang constellation was suspended above the ruins. The missing core star position corresponds to the crack between Su Ye's eyebrows, and the star dust seeps out from it, condensing in the air into the final chapter of the first generation's notes: [Host returns, Starry Sky restarts].
The Snow Shadow Wolf retracted into its cub form, and the star pattern on the tip of its tail retained the ancient jade code of Madam Hong. The sister in Ling Shuang's arms suddenly opened her eyes, and her ice-cracked pupils reflected the holographic star map of the first-generation laboratory - the position of Su Ye's heart was the center of the entire energy matrix. Qian Shisan's afterimage flickered between the constellations: [Final stage activated], Madam Hong's mechanical prosthetic eyes reflected the bronze coffin deep in the starry sky. The coffin lid slowly opened, and on the outstretched bronze palm, the star pattern frequency was beating exactly the same as Su Ye's.
Madam Hong's mechanical prosthetic eyes burst out with a strange ancient jade light, and the tampered Star Sky Contract was like a living tattoo, burning blood-colored veins on the surface of the Canglang constellation. When each vein cracked, sticky star marrow oozed out. These liquids condensed into bronze chains in the vacuum, wrapping around Su Ye's limbs. The barbs on the chain pierced deeply into his skin, and the blood drawn condensed into the first generation of ciphertext on the chain links: [Container returns to its place, Star Sky restarts].
"Mother... Is this what you want?" Su Ye's tears of blood dripped onto the star crystal on his chest, and the sealed memory emerged from the crystal——
**Memory flashback**: Under the cold light of the underground laboratory, Madam Red, wearing a bronze mask, injected a tube of star serum mixed with the first generation corpse powder into the culture chamber. The baby in the chamber was full of catheters, and the Snow Shadow Wolf cub in his arms was whimpering faintly. Outside the glass chamber, Qing Lan's holographic image screamed: "Stop! You will destroy him!"
