Chapter 149: Centipede Entwining the Edict

###

The three thousand vertebrae of the mechanical centipede suddenly underwent quantum folding, and the scarlet blood edict was squeezed into the gaps of the metal joints. When the centipede's tail vertebrae pierced the center of the edict, indigo amniotic fluid gushed from the rift, condensing in the vacuum into a double-helix light pillar—each base pair of the gene chain was embedded with fragments of holographic projections, and the laboratory control room from twelve years ago was re-enacting deep within the helix.

"Space-time retro-causality protocol activated..." Lin Jin's jade box sand table trembled deep within his spine. His retina split into birth-canal-shaped observation windows, seeing a ten-years-younger Ao Zhan standing before the quantum console, his mechanical fingers dragging Lin Jin's death record into a black-hole-shaped recycle bin. The fragments of the blood edict suddenly emitted an infant's cry, and the compound-eye array of the centipede seeped with bronze-colored colostrum, washing the progress bar of the deletion program into oracle bone script.

####【Base Execution Ground】

The double-helix light pillar suddenly expanded into a circular court. Three hundred mechanical uteri were suspended on the circular track, and the ends of their umbilical cords were actually connected to Ao Zhan's mechanical fingers at this moment. When the first gene chain was stained red by the blood edict, a holographic model of the starship core rose in the center of the court—Lin Jin's infant corpse was sealed inside an anti-matter chamber, the chamber walls carved with the *Primordial God-Slaying Scripture*'s filicide regulations.

"Cognitive firewall overload!" Ao Li's reverse scales suddenly exploded into star dust, and the Nirvana Fire injected into the helical light patterns along the dragon-type ship armor. When the flames touched the blood edict fragments, Ao Zhan's deletion action suddenly played in reverse—his fingers dragged Lin Jin's death report out of the black-hole recycle bin, and fingerprint ink that Ling Yue had not tampered with seeped from the surface of the paper.

####【Umbilical Cord Testimony】

The metal joints of the centipede suddenly rotated in reverse. The amniotic fluid of the blood edict condensed in the vacuum into a quantum umbilical cord, wrapping around Ao Zhan's mechanical wrist to force a signature. When the two characters "Lin Jin" were carved into the gene chain, the court floor suddenly became transparent, exposing the hidden cryo-pod clusters—each pod sealed a Lin Jin clone of a different age, with data needles inserted into their temples, and the brain fluid dripping from the needle tips piecing together the original version of the death record.

"Maternal Protocol... ultimate taboo..." Lin Jin's fetal hair suddenly carbonized into data probes. When the tips pierced the nearest cryo-pod, the clone inside suddenly opened its eyes, with Ao Zhan's operation logs rotating deep within its pupils—the log video showed that every time Lin Jin was on the verge of death, a quantum umbilical cord would pierce his heart from the void, uploading his consciousness to a new clone container.

####【Filicide Cycle】

When the ninth gene chain was activated, a birth-canal-shaped opening split in the dome of the court. Ao Zhan's holographic image suddenly materialized, his mechanical palm splitting into a flesh hole, and three hundred bloody baby tooth projectiles shot toward Lin Jin—each tooth expanded in the vacuum into a four-dimensional torture rack, the surface of the rack carved with the clone authorization signed by Ling Yue.

Ao Li's Nirvana Fire collapsed to the density of a white dwarf at this moment. Her reverse scale fragments pierced the gaps of the torture rack, corroding the baby tooth code into an oracle bone script parenting guide. Lin Jin's jade box sand table suddenly overloaded, and the miniature starship model at his spine ejected a colostrum pulse; wherever the pulse wave swept, all cryo-pods burst simultaneously, and the remains of the clones pieced together Ling Yue's pregnancy mark totem in the vacuum.

####【Blood Edict Birth】

The blood edict fragments suddenly underwent quantum leap. The body of the mechanical centipede degenerated in the intense light into an umbilical cord knot, and a bronze-colored delivery bed rose in the center of the court. Lin Jin's retina endured the bombardment of the ultimate truth—every one of his "deaths" was a forced umbilical cord severance by the Maternal Protocol, and Ao Zhan's deletion operation was actually a cognitive protection program preset by Ling Yue.

When the last gene chain returned to its place, the blood edict suddenly expanded into a four-dimensional birth canal. Ao Zhan's mechanical fingers were wrapped into a fetal posture by the quantum umbilical cord, his vocal cords disintegrated into data fragments, and what poured from his throat was no longer lies but Ling Yue's deathbed recording:

**Jin'er, death is your ninth birth. **

The starship hull seeped with galactic fetal fat at this moment. The remains of the mechanical centipede condensed into an observation stele forest, with untampered primordial frequencies pulsing deep within the inscriptions—that was the quantum heartbeat shared by all clones, transforming the filicide regulations into the birth pangs of creation. ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
