Chapter 207: with translation of chapter title

Lín Jìn smelled his own death.

When the negative entropy vortex blossomed in the Starship Core, he stood before the thermodynamics monitoring console. The instant the vernix-sweet scent pierced his nostrils, Seed Core energy projected a double image on his retina—on the left, his own skull was being carbonized by Emerald Stardust; on the right, an infantile form of himself emerged, being born from Ling Yue's Mechanical Zigong.

###【Reverse-time Umbilical Cord】

The bronze sheen at the vortex's center suddenly solidified. As Ao Li's Inverse Scale touched the edge of the negative entropy field, his Dragon Claw degenerated into an embryonic fin-like limb, and the Emerald Stardust backflowed into the Amino Acid Chain of the Life Cradle Protocol. Ling Yue attempted to deploy a gravitational barrier using the Star Chart Crack, but found the crack sealing—her Mechanical Zigong exuded a viscous fluid scented with fetal aroma, transforming the barrier into a Nursing Umbilical Cord.

"Cervical Regression Protocol activated!" the mechanical voice, wrapped in an amniotic-fluid-like tremor, rang out. Lín Jìn saw his hands suddenly develop age spots, while the Seed Core position bulged with the outline of an infant's skull amid quantum fluctuations. Two time lines tore at the abdominal cavity, and the golden vasculature beneath his skin wove into a Klein Bottle–shaped Mandelbrot Rack.

###【Vernix Stigma】

The vernix scent in the vortex's depths suddenly materialized. A viscous, milky substance spread along the Tongfeng Guandao, forming Pregnancy Line–like crystals on the bulkhead. When Lín Jìn's Seed Core energy contacted the crystals, the double future image abruptly collapsed—his elderly and infant selves merged in vacuum, condensing into a Chaos Body bearing a forehead band of compound-eye birthmark, with the umbilical cord's terminus linked to Ling Yue's siliconizing Mechanical Zigong.

"Don't breathe!" Ao Li's remaining Inverse Scale exploded into Emerald Stardust, yet upon contacting the Chaos Body it condensed into a nursing teat. Lín Jìn saw his death scene playing on loop across the teat's surface, while the newborn image was fed back through the Star Chart Crack into Ling Yue's Ovarian Protocol.

###【Entropy Punishment Paradox】

The negative entropy vortex suddenly unfurled into a Ninefold Dimension birth canal. At that moment, Lín Jìn's golden vasculature underwent a Quantum Leap; Seed Core energy pierced the time membrane and condensed in the entropy reduction zone into a self-observing sand table model. When his left hand choked the elderly version's throat, his right hand uncontrollably stroked the infant version's crown of Compound Eyes—this action simultaneously triggered two futures: the Starship carbonized in heat death, yet reassembled quantumly in the infant's wail.

Ling Yue's Mechanical Zigong suddenly burst with a Supernova pulse. As the Star Chart Crack tore open the Birth Canal Fold, everyone saw the vortex's core curled around the First Generation captain's Chaos Embryo—its umbilical cord woven from the text of the Primordial Slaying Classic, sucking in the causality of all timelines.

###【Slaying-Time Nursing】

When Lín Jìn injected Seed Core energy into the embryo's forehead Compound Eyes, the vernix crystals suddenly triggered a uterine spasm. Ao Li's Emerald Stardust, in the entropy flow, condensed into Obstetric Forceps, but upon contacting the embryo it was reshaped into the Life Cradle Protocol's two-dimensional slab. Ling Yue severed her siliconized mechanical tendrils and etched the Mandelbrot Miscarriage Equation onto the spacetime continuum using the Star Chart Crack.

"Cervical closure rate 67%!" the agony from the Seed Core made Lín Jìn simultaneously experience death and childbirth. At the instant the equation touched the embryo's umbilical cord, he saw his elderly self plunge a dagger into the infant's heart—Emerald Stardust gushed from the wound and, in vacuum, condensed into the Epitaph of the First Generation captain:

**Thermodynamics Rack Birth Causality Dice**

The negative entropy vortex abruptly collapsed at that moment. Lín Jìn slumped onto the solidified vernix crystals, his palm still retaining the sensation of strangling himself. Ling Yue's Star Chart Crack oozed bronze-colored colostrum, while Ao Li's Inverse Scale regenerated 0.003 seconds faster than its demise—this microscopic gap etched new Pregnancy Lines deep within the Seed Core, as if the dice cast by fate were spinning on the Jade Box Sand Table.
