Chapter 10 - Chapter 10:Lunar eclipse and falling stars: All animals mourn

Xingyuan suddenly trembled violently, and all the bronze coffins opened at the same time. Tens of thousands of first-generation phantoms stood up from the coffins, and the resonance of their voices shattered the three nearby coffins: "Wrong... We... are all first-generation!" Their movements were completely synchronized, and star-patterned silk threads shot out from their hands, weaving into a contract net covering the entire Xingyuan. The material touched by the silk threads instantly turned bronze, and Mo Yan's left arm was rubbed, and his skin was immediately covered with bronze rust.

The Snow Shadow Wolf's blue flame suddenly surged, and the wolf kissed Su Ye's light blade. After absorbing the blue flame, the blade turned into a star sword, and the dual totems of the young wolf and the giant wolf appeared on the hilt: "Cut the thread... destroy the resonance node!" The trail of the sword light left a galaxy afterimage, and each strike caused the Star Abyss to break into more dimensional cracks. 

Su Ye's shadow suddenly materialized, and the star key in his palm was inserted into the void. The light of the bronze nova condensed into a giant claw to tear the cracks in the Star Abyss, and the moonlight of the real universe poured in from the cracks. The Snow Shadow Wolf's end blue flame burned out at this moment, degenerated back to the cub state and fell into Su Ye's arms: "Go... He is about to wake up..." The star pattern on the tip of the cub's tail oozed bronze pus, and the golden pupils were dim like a dying charcoal fire.

When everyone escaped back to reality, the bronze star in the night sky had expanded a hundred times, with countless eyeball-like structures protruding from its surface. Under the moonlight, the shadow independent body was reassembling the first generation corpse, and each bronze fragment carried Su Ye's genetic information. Qian Shisan's body knelt on the ground, and the mechanical voice trembled with fanaticism: "Welcome... the Lord of the Starry Sky!" His spine cracked, and he stretched out the unique biological cable of the first generation laboratory and connected it to the back of the shadow Su Ye's neck.

The star pattern on Su Ye's forehead suddenly reversed, and bronze spots appeared on the tip of the snow shadow wolf's tail. Sister Ling Shuang's pupils reflected a terrifying omen - the moon in the real world split in half, revealing a huge bronze eye, and the star pattern flowing in the eye flashed synchronously with the crack on Su Ye's chest. And in the depths of the Star Abyss, tens of thousands of Su Ye clones opened their eyes at the same time, and the fragments of the Star Key on their chests formed a complete first-generation star pattern.

The huge bronze eyes suddenly turned, and the pupils focused on Su Ye. The Snow Shadow Wolf cub blasted the last starlight and teleported everyone a thousand meters away. The ground where they were standing was covered with bronze crystals, and the final chapter of the first generation's notes appeared on the surface of the crystals: [The container returns to its place, and everything restarts]. Mo Yan kicked away a piece of crystal and found that the incomplete face of Madam Hong was sealed inside it - she was smiling.

The fissioning moon disk was like a festering wound, and bronze slime oozed from the cracks, drawing a fluorescent green track in the night sky. Every drop of slime made a corrosive hissing sound when it fell to the ground. The grass and trees were twisted and mutated under the erosion of the slime - vines twisted into the shape of human arms, bark cracked to reveal star-shaped blood vessels, and even rocks softened and reorganized into animal-shaped puppets. The bronze markings on the tip of the Snow Shadow Wolf cub's tail suddenly grew, turning into a thorny chain that wrapped around Su Ye's wrist and pulled him away from the slime splashing area. A drop of slime brushed against the corner of Su Ye's clothes, and the cloth instantly hardened into a bronze shell, with the genetic map of the first generation laboratory emerging on the surface.

"Isolate with pure fire!" Mo Yan's red lotus fire burned the approaching puppet, but when the flame touched the mucus, it suddenly backfired. The holographic log of the first generation laboratory emerged in the red flame. In the picture, Madam Hong was standing in front of the lunar eclipse star map and recording: [The moon pupil is open, and all beasts return to their origin. Experimental subject X-1997 has been implanted with the first generation core, and the gray spot stability rate is 91%]. Her fingers slid across the glass of the incubator, and the gray spot on the tail tip of the Snow Shadow Wolf cub could be vaguely seen at the heart of the baby Su Ye in the cabin.

Ling Shuang's Ice Soul Spider Emperor tore through the surface ice, and its spider legs pierced deep into the frozen soil: "Come to Kanwei! There are people from the Beast Alliance here..." 

"Too late." Qian Shisan's afterimage suddenly materialized, and the mechanical palm smashed the core of the ancient formation. Thousands of bronze beast coffins rose from the broken formation pattern, and the symbiotic star pattern on the surface of the coffin lid was resonating with Su Ye's heartbeat. Mucus tentacles flowed out from the cracks of the coffin and wrapped around the nearest puppet beast. The eyeballs of those beasts bulged and exploded, replaced by miniature moon pupils, and the deep pupils flashed with the same gray-white frequency as Su Ye's right eye.

The Snow Shadow Wolf exploded into the form of the embers of the end, but the blue flame was suppressed by the moon pupil into a swaying spark. The star crystal in Su Ye's heart cracked into a light blade, cutting off the star pattern core of the puppet beast. What gushed out of the fracture was not blood, but the memory of the Snow Shadow Wolf's childhood—— 

**Memory flashback**: In front of the observation window of the first generation laboratory, the young wolf licked Su Ye's fingers through the glass. Suddenly, the alarm sounded, and Madam Red rushed into the room and stuffed the baby into the bronze coffin. The gray spot on the tip of the wolf's tail appeared for the first time at this moment, piercing the glass and piercing into Su Ye's heart.

The roar of the beast coffin opening shattered the cumulus clouds, and tens of thousands of star pattern puppet beasts came out in droves. Their joints were inlaid with ancient jade fragments, and their attack trajectories were completely synchronized with the moves of the Snow Shadow Wolf. Mo Yan's red lotus pattern climbed up his neck, and his sister's afterimage emerged in the fire - she was wrapped in bronze mucus into a cocoon, and was being transformed into a young mother beast. "Sister..." Mo Yan's wrist was suddenly entangled by Ling Shuang's ice soul spider silk, and the other end of the spider silk was connected to the spider egg fragment on his sister's chest.

"Purify the toxins!" Su Ye's light blade pierced the ground, and the star pattern chain entangled the spider egg fragments. Ling Shuang's ice soul spider silk pierced into the puppet beast's eye sockets and forcibly extracted the star pattern toxins. The mucus condensed into a gene chain model in the spider silk, showing that the DNA of all puppet beasts was mixed with Su Ye's stem cells. A puppet wolf suddenly stood up, and its chest cavity split open to reveal the skull of the Snow Shadow Wolf - that was the skull fossil of the first generation original. 

Qian Shisan's afterimage was suspended in the crack of the moon wheel, and the mechanical sound shook the atmosphere: "Host fusion progress 61%..." His spine extended a biological cable and connected to the star pattern interface of the nearest beast coffin. A bronze tentacle suddenly stretched out from the coffin and pierced into the afterimage of Sister Mo Yan. Her body instantly swelled into a three-meter-tall mother beast, and her abdomen split open to reveal hundreds of beating spider eggs, and each egg membrane reflected Su Ye's face.

"They use your cells as culture medium..." Ling Shuang's Spider King suddenly went berserk, and the Ice Soul Spider Silk shredded three puppet beasts, "These monsters can regenerate infinitely!" 

The Snow Shadow Wolf leaped onto the crack of the moon, and the embers of the end burned the bronze slime. The cub's golden eyes burst out with starry aurora, etching the forbidden totem of the Beast Alliance on the moon surface - that was the annihilation array on the wall of Madam Red's laboratory. Su Ye's light blade flew out of his hand and turned into a meteor. The moment it pierced through the core of the moon pupil, the head of the first generation corpse was revealed in the broken bronze.

"You are my most perfect carrier..." The eyeballs of the first generation corpse turned, and the star pattern on the forehead perfectly overlapped with Su Ye. Mucus flowed out from the cracks in the skull, condensing into the shadow of Madam Red when she was young. She stroked the star crystal on Su Ye's chest: "Back then, I put you into the coffin with my own hands, and used the gray spots of the Snow Shadow Wolf to balance the star pattern's rampage..." The shadow suddenly twisted, revealing half of Madam Red's face corroded by bronze, "Now it's time to complete the symbiotic ritual!"

The ember form of the Snow Shadow Wolf was annihilated at this moment, degenerating back into a cub and falling into Su Ye's arms. The bronze mucus suddenly flowed back, wrapping everyone into a cocoon. Qian Shisan's mechanical voice echoed in the cocoon: [Final stage of the End Protocol: Host fusion initiated]. Su Ye's right arm was covered with gray spots, and the first generation star pattern condensed deep in his pupils.

Holographic memories emerge from the cocoon wall: Madam Red kneels in front of the bronze coffin and puts the baby Su Ye into the blood pool. The tail tip of the first generation of Snow Shadow Wolf pierces the baby's heart, and the gray spots and star patterns coexist at this moment. The scene suddenly changes, and the first generation corpse stands up from the blood pool and hugs Madam Red's waist: "Our child will become the cornerstone of the new world..." 

"You are the mother beast!" Su Ye's light blade pressed against Madam Red's phantom, "Feed the first generation with bones and blood!"

The illusion shattered, and the real cocoon was heard from the Snow Shadow Wolf: "Father... kill me..." The gray spot on the cub's tail tip had spread to the spine, and the golden pupil cracked with the first generation star pattern. Su Ye's light blade pierced the Snow Shadow Wolf's heart, but the gray spot moved to his wrist when it touched the blade—— 

**Contract Reversal**: The cub's star pattern was suddenly purified, and the tail tip returned to star blue; Su Ye's right arm was covered with gray spots, and the first generation star pattern condensed deep in the pupil.

Su Ye, who had cut through the giant cocoon, looked up and saw that the moon had completely turned into bronze. Qian Shisan's body was suspended in the center of the moon pupil, and the mechanical palm held the complete brain of Madam Hong. The lips of the brain opened and closed, uttering the ultimate secret: "The first generation... is my husband... We are all cursed by the starry sky..." 

Deep in the ruins of the Star Altar, the last bronze beast coffin quietly opened. In the coffin was sleeping a boy with the same appearance as Su Ye, experimental number [X-000]. The first generation of the Snow Shadow Wolf in his arms raised its head, the tip of its tail was pure and flawless, and its golden eyes reflected the unpolluted starry sky.
