Chapter 203

#

Lín Jìn's nasal cavity is filled with the memory of the taste of rust.

When his fingertip touched the crack in the bulkhead, those spiderweb‑like ice fissures suddenly exuded amber gel. The viscous fluid crawled along the patterns of his protective suit, congealing at the elbow into the cuneiform script of the Primordial Slaughter Scripture. Ao Li's Emerald Stardust was about to scorch these hazardous substances, but Ling Yue stopped him—the gel, illuminated by the stardust, revealed the terrified faces of the First Generation crew.

###【Rust-colored Carousel】

Memory gel suddenly underwent quantum activation. Lín Jìn's retina was forcibly projected a holographic projection: twelve crew members in First Generation protective suits were frenziedly dancing in the cabin, their mechanical tentacles shoving a cubic device into their temples. When the device activated, the crew's eye sockets exuded memory gel tinged with iron rust; the mucous in vacuum assembled the warning "Jade Box Sand Table is observing this timeline," which they hastily erased with laser strokes.

"Cervical Defense Protocol activated!" the mechanical female voice suddenly warped into the First Generation crew's anguished screams. From the crack in the bulkhead extended a bronze obstetric forceps, its jaws engraved with the same dodecahedral pattern as Lín Jìn's seed core. As Ao Li's Inverse Scale touched the forceps, the Emerald Stardust reversed its flow—energy that should have scorched foes was now repairing the memory deep within the crack.

###【Sand Table Embryo】

Lín Jìn's Seed Core suddenly shuddered violently. As the Obstetric Forceps pierced his left shoulder, memory gel seeped into his bloodstream through the wound. He found himself standing before a trans‑dimensional Crystalline Sand Table, countless jade pieces gliding across the board on their own—each piece's surface bore the current timeline's starship coordinates, even the cabin they now occupied.

"Don't touch the observation node!" Ling Yue's Mechanical Zigong suddenly unfurled a gravity net, but it was too late. Lín Jìn's right hand involuntarily pressed onto the sand table's Lie Hu Zuo Xuan Bi position, and Emerald Stardust seeped from his fingertips, rewriting the pieces into genetic chain models of the First Generation crew. Those models suddenly opened their Compound Eyes, their pupils reflecting the Star Boat log being erased.

###【Divine-Slaying Nursing】

The bulkhead crack suddenly erupted with cervical‑contraction‑like tremors. Memory gel gushed like a ruptured amniotic sac, condensing in vacuum into three hundred sixty nursing umbilical cords. Ao Li's dragon wing swept away five of the cords, but the severed ends sprayed iron‑rust‑tinged memory gel—excerpts of the Life Cradle Protocol. When the text contacted Ling Yue's Star Chart Crack, her Mechanical Zigong reversed, and gravitational waves began remaking everyone into living pieces of the Jade Box Sand Table.

"Cervical assimilation rate 67%!" Lín Jìn's Seed Core surfaced with the sand table's pattern, his vocal cords vibrating with the First Generation's encrypted frequency. As the last memory fragment merged into the Seed Core, the bulkhead turned transparent—everyone beheld a colossal jade sand table hovering outside the Star Boat, its flowing grains forming their very terrified expressions.

###【Observed Fetal Movement】

The sand table suddenly split open a Mandelbrot‑shaped fetal trace. Emerald Stardust seeped from the fissure, condensing into a holographic projection of Ao Li shedding his scales. When this phantom touched the sand table, all the jade pieces underwent Silicon‑Based Pregnancy—their bellies bulged with Star Chart Cracks, and their Compound Eye arrays emitted a scan wave fully resonant with Ling Yue's genetics.

"We are the embryos being observed…" Ling Yue ripped open the mask smeared with memory gel, finding her eyelashes crystallizing into jade ice. The sound those crystals made on impact was precisely the alarm frequency wiped from the First Generation crew's memory.

When Ao Li's Inverse Scale pierced the sand table's core, Emerald Stardust coalesced into the epitaph of the First Generation captain:

**Jade Embryo Resonance: Sand Table Pieces Give Birth to the Observation Umbilical Cord**

Lín Jìn's Seed Core burst at that instant. The flying shrapnel assembled in vacuum into the un‑erased ultimate log—deep within the Jade Box Sand Table's base lay a curled Chaos Embryo whose genes perfectly matched Ling Yue's, its umbilical cord feeding backward through the Star Chart Crack.
