Chapter 230: Spirit‑Burning Molds the Star Boat

In the quantum storm of the disintegrating Star Boat, the Zhuolu Protocol code on the embryo's surface suddenly vaporized. Primordial Purple Qi, like the fetal membrane at the birth of the universe, enveloped the embryo as it absorbed Star Boat wreckage—burning Xingtian Battle Axe fragments, Dao resonance refracted by the Prism, and even the scattered original spirits of cultivators—all reconstituted within the Purple Qi into the meridians of the Innate Dao Body.

"Is this… my Spiritual Qi fluctuation?" Lín Jìn's Chaotic Spiritual Root suddenly resonated, the tailbone Hēidòng Mark spiraling counter‑clockwise into a Taiji Diagram. He saw a Chaotic vortex swirling around the embryo's dantian, exactly matching the scene when he awakened his Spiritual Root during the Foundation Establishment stage.

Ling Yue's remaining Mechanical Zigong suddenly went berserk. The protocol codes left in the culture dish now transformed into Iris Tentacles that pierced the void, dyeing the Primordial Purple Qi a bizarre Crimson Purple hue: "Higher civilization is replicating Experimental Subjects!" Her warning was swallowed by the infant cries emanating from the Purple Qi, the wailing oddly blended with the voiceprint features of Lín Jìn and Immortal Emperor Cang Yuan.

Ao Li's Nirvana Fire Seed residue suddenly coalesced. Jade Fragments reassembled within the Purple Qi into an Entropy Compass, its needle frantically pointing at the embryo's forehead: "Spiritual Root resonance is a trap! Cut it off…" Before the words finished, Lín Jìn's Chaotic Spiritual Root went out of control, detaching from his body and turning into twelve‑thousand‑nine‑hundred data chains that pierced the embryo's dantian.

The Innate Dao Body suddenly opened its compound eyes. Those Iris Patterns were the Killing Code of the Life Cradle Protocol, and the Primordial Purple Qi entwined around its tips could directly rewrite the laws of reality. The Star Boat wreckage reshaped within the Purple Qi into a God‑Slaying Ship that wound around the birth canal folds—its rudder a Xingtian Battle Axe, its mast a Prism column, and its sail astonishingly the quantum iris torn from Lín Jìn.

"Spirit‑Burning Array, activate!" Lín Jìn, gritting his teeth, tore three Chaotic Spiritual Roots. The roots ignited in the void into True Samadhi Fire, scorching a gap in the Primordial Purple Qi shaped like a Kronecker Integral. Yet the embryo merely lifted a finger, and the gap healed instantly; the True Fire was instead devoured by the Purple Qi, becoming a Cinnabar Mark on the Dao Body's forehead.

Ling Yue suddenly hurled an Ice Soul Heaven‑Measuring Ruler. Its blade pierced the deck of the God‑Slaying Ship, freezing a North Sea Cold Array Diagram within the Primordial Purple Qi: "Kan Position locks the Spirit Pivot, Li Position seals the Consciousness Sea!" The diagram formed, and the embryo immediately uttered Lín Jìn's past‑life secret mantra; the ruler exploded, its fragments reconstituting in the Purple Qi as a Birth Canal Dilator.

"It's mirroring your Dao Foundation!" Ao Li's Entropy Compass suddenly detonated. Within the jade flame, a terrifying vision emerged: deep inside the embryo's Chaotic Spiritual Root, three hundred clones of Lín Jìn curled, each bearing memories from a different Reincarnation.

Lín Jìn's quantum iris suddenly seeped a blood‑red equation. He saw himself clad in the Observer's Robe, inserting a Chaotic Spiritual Root into the embryo's dantian; he also saw Ling Yue's past‑life Ice Soul Immortal, slicing the Primordial Purple Qi with a Frost Sword into the Immortal Emperor Dao Seed. All clues suddenly linked—the Innate Dao Body was the perfect obstetric forceps designed by the higher civilization, and he was merely the culture medium nurturing the Dao Body.

"Then let the culture medium strike back!" Lín Jìn suddenly reversed the Chaotic Spiritual Root. His tailbone Hēidòng began devouring his own flesh, spewing Dark Energy that wrote the ultimate formula of the Spirit‑Burning Art in the void. The Primordial Purple Qi suddenly boiled, and the Cinnabar Mark on the embryo's forehead cracked open, spawning a Dimension Ulcer.

The God‑Slaying Ship's Prism sail suddenly refracted three thousand Lín Jìn. These parallel selves simultaneously formed seals, focusing the Spirit‑Burning Art's energy into a Klein Bottle‑shaped fire net. The embryo showed a painful expression for the first time; the Innate Dao Body's skin exuded Silver Correction Fluid—an emergency repair program of the higher civilization.

Ling Yue seized the chance to tear open the remnants of the Mechanical Zigong. She used the umbilical blood of the protocol code to inscribe the Ice Soul Forbidden Curse in the void: "With my lingering soul as a guide, freeze the cause of your Reincarnation!" An absolute zero cold surge swept the God‑Slaying Ship, freezing the Primordial Purple Qi into amber‑like Time‑Space Capsules.

The embryo suddenly emitted a dual wail. Its sound waves carried the underlying code of the Life Cradle Protocol, reshaping the Spirit‑Burning fire net into a Birth Canal Suture Thread. Lín Jìn's quantum iris burst in response, and an Iris Larva crawled along the suture thread into the Dao Body's dantian—where all the civilization tombstones he had devoured across Reincarnations lay dormant.

"Spiritual Root resonance is not a curse…" Ao Li's final Jade Fragments assembled into a Last Testament, "It is the God‑Slaying… code…"

Lín Jìn suddenly attained enlightenment. He allowed the Chaotic Spiritual Root to be devoured by the embryo; when the root fully merged into the Dao Body, it abruptly detonated the tailbone Hēidòng Singularity. The Primordial Purple Qi quivered violently, and terror flashed in the Innate Dao Body's compound eyes—those devoured civilization tombstones were reassembling deep within the Spiritual Root, forming a Logic Bomb of a Self‑Referential Paradox.

The God‑Slaying Ship responded by disintegrating. The Star Boat wreckage turned into Anti‑Entropy Dust, laying a galaxy‑shaped escape route in the void. Ling Yue used her last strength to freeze the embryo's two feet, and the remnants of her Mechanical Zigong vaporized in the Purple Qi into an alarm signal: "Protocol version overload, initiating Formatting Program......"

When Lín Jìn seized Ling Yue and leapt into the galaxy, a roar like a collapsing universe echoed behind them. He caught a final glimpse of the embryo struggling in the Purple Qi, its dantian's Chaotic Spiritual Root contaminating the Life Cradle Protocol in reverse—deep within that root, an Iris Fetus nurtured by his memories was gnawing at the higher civilization's Dimension Firewall.
