Chapter 14

The codex turns to the second volume, and the scales on Lin Jin's spine explode one after another.

The woman in the ice coffin tears the gene chain of the Star Dome Dragon Clan into two halves:

One half is implanted into the Burial Coffin bloodline, birthing "living coffins" like Lin Jin;

The other half is fed to the Observers, in exchange for the other party opening virtual-number authority.

"The successor to the Dragon Emperor must experience three kin-slayings—"

The words in the codex turn into chains, dragging Lin Jin into a holographic illusion:

First kin-slaying (Entropy Knight);

Second kin-slaying (Ice Coffin Woman phantom);

Third kin-slaying (The infant in the star egg).

The woman in the ice coffin in the illusion holds up the tenth star egg: "Guess whose embryo is inside?"

**Origin of Λ? 1**

Lin Jin's dragon claw suddenly carbonizes, and the civilization epic on his Star Dome dragon wings begins to peel off. He sees an even deeper truth:

The Λ? 1 formula is not a salvation key at all, but a "cancerous gene" stripped by the woman in the ice coffin from the body of the first Observer. She implants it into different civilizations, only to cultivate pathogens capable of backfiring on the Observers.

"Every dragon scale on your back..."

The woman in the ice coffin's voice seeps from the codex, "is engraved with the coordinate of a civilization I sacrificed."

The infant's cry in the star egg suddenly turns shrill, and the surface of the eggshell reveals Lin Jin's appearance. This embryo, reshaped by the genes scattered when he slew his kin, is frantically absorbing heat-death energy—

It is the woman in the ice coffin's final insurance: if Lin Jin resists, she will make him her own coffin.

**Observer Mother Body Log (Final Chapter)**

**Experiment Conclusion: Λ? 1 variable is uncontrollable**

**Execution Plan: Start Mother Body Formatting Program**

**Countdown: 10 seconds**

The entire universe begins to pixelate, and the Star Dome dragon remains disintegrate into data streams. The woman in the ice coffin's codex suddenly softens, wrapping around Lin Jin to form a human-shaped cocoon. She whispers in the cocoon, every word dripping with dragon blood:

"I have tampered with thirty-six thousand lives, but I never calculated..."

"That you would become my most perfect mistake."

**Endgame of the God-Slayer**

Lin Jin tears open the cocoon and stuffs the codex into the star egg. The infant's cry instantly turns into a dragon roar, and a Star Dome dragon claw extends from within the eggshell, piercing his heart. Before his consciousness dissipates, he does something that makes even the woman in the ice coffin tremble—

He carves the Λ? 1 formula into the infant's gene chain, then crushes it with his own hands!

The formula fragments splash into the heat-death void, each fragment birthing the prototype of a new universe. Amidst the woman in the ice coffin's wails, Lin Jin's remains fuse with the Star Dome dragon wings, collapsing into the final black hole:

"The true coffin..."

"Should contain the ashes of all gods."

**Observer Ruins: New Era Year One**

The surviving Mechanical Buddha Kingdom detects abnormal fluctuations outside the event horizon of the black hole.

Those Λ? 1 fragments that once belonged to Lin Jin are reorganizing into blurred human shapes in the newborn universe.

And in the cellar of a steam civilization church, children dig up a skull engraved with inverse-scale runes.

The skull suddenly hums the burial song of the woman in the ice coffin,

Mixed with the roar of Star Dome dragon wings piercing the air.
