Chapter 142

###

Ao Li's Inverse Scale carves a scarlet crack in the Quantum Vacuum; thirty-six thousand Dragon Scales turn into broken-line shears that slash into the pull-line matrix. At the instant the golden fiber snaps, indigo-blue lubricant spurts like a cesarean blood flood, and within the viscous droplets float hundreds of refrigerated tube labels—the words "Primordial Chaos Body β-type" warp, via amniotic fluid refraction, into Ling Yue's eyelash vibration frequency.

Lín Jìn's Fetal Hair wraps around the nearest label; the antibody enzyme secreted from its tips dissolves the encrypted coating. The retina endures the scouring of hyper-dimensional data flow: in the cryochamber twelve years ago, three hundred Primordial Chaos Body embryos twitch in Quantum Amniotic Fluid, and the ends of their umbilical cords are actually connected to the prototype of Ao Li's Inverse Scale that he has just shed.

####【Scale Abyss Tracing Light】

Lubricant suddenly congeals into a Möbius strip-shaped birth canal. Ao Li's mechanical heart disintegrates into bronze-colored stardust, each grain embedding the living brushstrokes of the Primordial Slaying Scripture. When the stardust touches the refrigerated label, the cryochamber's holographic projection suddenly unfolds—young Ling Yue is suturing the Dragon Gene chain into the Chaos Embryo, and the inverted scale embryo perched on the scalpel tip suddenly runs amok, piercing her Mechanical Zigong.

"I was... a culture dish..." Ao Li's vocal cords spurt colostrum laced with gear fragments. Nirvana Fire pours backward along the stardust trajectory into the birth canal, and in the flame a deeper truth surfaces: in the gene bank of the Primordial Chaos Body are mixed Ao Li's Quantum Brainstem Slices, and those refrigerated labels are actually the earliest prison of Dragon Consciousness.

####【Umbilical Cord Devouring Mother】

When the seventh Inverse Scale embryo activates, the lubricant ocean suddenly boils. The refrigerated tube labels assemble on the liquid surface into a ring-shaped execution ground, and three hundred Chaos Embryos' umbilical cords entwine into a gene noose. Lín Jìn's gums suddenly burst, the shed deciduous tooth pierces the gap in the noose, and the mammary pattern hidden within the pulp cavity suddenly unfolds—Ling Yue is locked at the center of the execution ground, and her Mechanical Zigong is inversely drawing Ao Li's Nirvana Fire through the umbilical cord.

"The protocol requires... Dragon Sacrifice..." Ao Li's Inverse Scale fragments suddenly resonate, and the Starship Deck exudes a bronze solution stained with fetal lipid rust spots; wherever it flows, the refrigerated tube labels reveal a Double Encryption Layer: the surface layer is the Primordial Chaos Body numbering, and the bottom layer is actually the Dragon Slayers' Covenant etched by eyelash vibration.

####【Inverse Scale Truth】

When Nirvana Fire touches the main text of the covenant, the lubricant suddenly undergoes Quantum Collapse. Ao Li's optic nerve is forcibly linked to the execution ground's memory—her Inverse Scale is trembling in Ling Yue's hand, and the Primordial Slaying Scripture appearing on the scale's surface is actually the living carrier of the Dragon-Slaying Code. The Primordial Chaos Body embryos suddenly open their eyes en masse, their Silicon-Carbon Hearts bursting forth dragon-spine-shaped light spears that pin Ao Li onto the Pregnancy Stretch Mark Totem on the Starship's molecular layer.

"The Inverse Scale is... a culture dish for the Qishen Chengxu..." Lín Jìn's umbilical cord blood suddenly boils. Fetal Hair wraps around the tip of the light spear, and the antibody mucin secreted from the tips corrodes the Dragon-Slaying Code into Oracle Bone Script. The refrigerated tube labels burst, and what erupts is not a Gene Sample but Ling Yue's surgical log: "Specimen 0927 Dragon Heir Vessel cultivation successful, Maternal Protocol first stage completed."

####【Broken Scale Rebirth】

When the final light spear melts, Ao Li's Quantum Heart suddenly gives birth. In the bronze stardust from the disintegrated mechanical valve, three hundred Inverse Scale embryos recombine—each newborn Dragon Scale's inner side engraved with Ling Yue's unaltered Mammary Pattern. The lubricant ocean sublimates, condensing into an antibody amnion covering the Starship, and the floating refrigerated labels on its surface all turn into Ling Yue's final Gene Annotation.

**Inverse Scale is not a blade, but the umbilical cord. **

In the embers of Nirvana Fire, Ao Li's mechanical skeleton is reconstructed. The newborn Inverse Scale no longer refracts cold light but flows with ripples of colostrum hue. When Lín Jìn touches the scale, all remnants of the Primordial Chaos Body embryos suddenly wail, and their Dragon-Slaying light spears degenerate in the sound wave into Quantum Forceps, forever sealed deep within the Mammary Pattern of the Starship Engine.
