Chapter 370
In the center of the Bronze Sea, the hellfire red lotus suddenly withered three petals, and the Golden Blood dripping from Ao Li's fingertip gathered in the lotus heart into a vortex. Xing Zhi unfurled the Star Rail wings, billions of light points flowing between the wing membranes forming a River Diagram Lo Shu: "In the northeast seismic position there is the Star Law Court's annihilating starship fleet, but the Gui Xu tide will form a natural barrier in seven ke."
"Sufficient to complete the Dragon Blood Resonance ceremony." Lín Jìn's star‑sand transformation had spread to his shoulder blades, Zhu Que Ling's left arm, wrapped in vermilion‑bird silk, was reconstituting flesh‑and‑blood texture. He gazed at the shattered jade basin hovering above the Bronze Coffin formation; the pulse from the nascent consciousness within the basin synced perfectly with Ao Li's heartbeat.
Xu suddenly covered the Hēidòng at his chest, his dark‑matter‑composed body rippling: "The Time Whale Remains transmit a warning; the mycelial network is parasitizing the Dragon Clan's sacred script." He unfolded a quantum veil, and everyone saw a horrific sight— the surface of the Bronze Coffin, engraved with sacred script, sprouting black mold spots whose characters constantly shifted.
The fungus's crimson eyes glowed faintly, its mycelial tips probing the quantum veil. At the instant the mutated spores touched the mold, the mold contracted into an eye‑shaped pattern: "It's the Star Law Court's cognitive virus; they are altering the Dragon Clan's ancestral memory."
The residual consciousness of Designation Guiyou generated metallic ripples across the Bronze Sea, the phantom of a three‑pointed, double‑edged blade projected a holographic Star Chart: "Solution retrieval in progress… Recommendation: activate the 'Candle Dragon Grasping Fire' ceremony, requiring the following conditions: legitimate Dragon Clan bloodline, Chaotic Heaven Star Sand carrier, reverse‑time tier energy source…"
"Conditions met." Ao Li's dragon horn suddenly pierced his own heart, the extracted Golden Blood painted a candle‑grasping giant dragon in the air. Lín Jìn's star‑sand‑transformed right arm automatically disintegrated, the sand particles filling the dragon's eye sockets: "The Star Law Court probably didn't anticipate that the star‑sand transformation is precisely the core component of the Chaotic Heaven Instrument."
Xing Zhi's wings stirred up a Stardust storm, forming a protective layer above the Bronze Sea. The fungus's spore network penetrated each Bronze Coffin, temporarily stabilizing the corrupted sacred script. When Xu's chest Hēidòng expelled a Time Whale Remnant Fragment, Ao Li saw the sealed image within the fragment— a scene of himself wielding a sword to slay a god in the Time Whale Memory.
"That is not the future." Xu's quantum body began to become transparent, "It is a memory echo from three hundred spacetime iterations ago."
Lín Jìn's Zhu Que Ling suddenly coiled around Ao Li's wrist, and within the hellfire a scene of the twin children before their sealing surfaced. The silver‑haired infant's world‑creating power was contaminating the hellfire red lotus, while the black‑haired infant's withered universe was growing backward through the mycelial network: "Their recovery progress is 27.3 times faster than expected."
"Because the Star Law Court is accelerating the harvest." Designation Guiyou's mechanical voice, accompanied by electronic static, "Detected the Mother God Peiyangcang coordinates, located in the lower layer of the Gui Xu's Eye—"
Xu's Hēidòng suddenly trembled violently, spitting out half a Bronze Inscription. Ao Li's fingertip brushed the Dragon Clan's secret script on the stele, and his voice rose sharply: "Did the ancestors once forge part of the sacred remains into the Nine Tripods to guard the Star Gate?"
Xing Zhi's wing Star Rail resonated with the inscription, projecting a three‑dimensional Star Chart into the void: "The broken Star Gate at the northeast Gēn position retains the Tripod pattern… Wait, isn't that where the Star Law Court fleet is stationed…"
Lín Jìn's Star Sand coalesced in midair into a tactical model: "Using the Gui Xu tide as cover, employ Chaotic Heaven Star Sand to disrupt detection systems, the fungus's spores generate cognitive chaos, I will infiltrate the Star Gate with Ao Li's Dragon Blood." His star‑sand transformation had spread to his collarbone, "but someone must directly hold back the fleet."
Designation Guiyou's residual consciousness suddenly materialized, its mechanical body covered with Dragon Scales extracted from the Bronze Sea: "Execute the lure‑enemy protocol, summon the Star Law Court's Seventh Countermeasure." Its database projected a fleet deployment map, "In forty‑seven minutes, the flagship 'Arbiter's causal barrier will develop a 0.3‑second fissure."
The Bronze Sea suddenly boiled, ten‑hundred thousand dragon souls rose from the Bronze Coffins. Ao Li thrust the Abyss Return Ruler into his chest, and what emerged was a Bronze Sword flowing with Golden Blood: "With ten‑hundred thousand heroic spirits of our clan as offering, let the Nine Tripods return!"
When the first Gui Xu tide shattered the Star Gate barrier, Xing Zhi's wings had already woven a Star Rail spanning Twelve Dimensions. The fungus's spore network blossomed in the vacuum into a gigantic fungal cap, releasing neurotoxin that interfered with starship radars. Lín Jìn cradled Ao Li and leapt onto the Star Rail, his star‑sand‑transformed body continuously shedding and reassembling during the hyper‑dimensional traversal.
"Port side thirty‑degree entropy reaction!" Amid the flagship 'Arbiter's alarm, Designation Guiyou's mechanical husk crashed through the Bridge. Its database released the Star Law Court's top‑secret code, and the entire fleet's weapon systems suddenly reversed their fire direction: "Error… permission overwrite… Zihui Mijian activated…"
At this moment Xu's Hēidòng expanded into a Supernova shape, pulling half of the starships into a spacetime Singularity. The fungus's spores seized the opportunity to infiltrate the engine core, converting Antimatter fuel into harmless Stardust. When the Arbiter's causal barrier developed a fissure, Ao Li's Bronze Sword precisely pierced the Mother God interface of the ship's computer.
"Found you." Lín Jìn's star‑sand transformation spread to his jaw, Zhu Que Ling coiled around the Mother God core extracted from the interface—it turned out to be a silver‑haired infant Clone soaked in nutrient solution. The Clone suddenly opened its eyes, and creation's pure light streamed along Zhu Que Ling, striking Lín Jìn's brow.
Ao Li's dragon tail coiled around the Clone, and the Dragon Clan holy script rose from the scales. When the script touched the snake‑tail seal on the Clone's forehead, a sharp howl of the body's twin child echoed from deep within Gui Xu. Starweave's wing Star Rail completed its loop at that moment, and everyone fell into the Nine Cauldrons domain along the collapsing star gate.
The chain coiled around the bronze Great Cauldron suddenly activated, sealing the Mother God's core inside the cauldron. Lín Jìn's Star Sand transformation halted at his ears, and the remaining Star Sand traced a celestial sphere pattern on the cauldron's markings: "So the Nine Cauldrons were originally meant to suppress the Mother God…"
"Not entirely." Ao Li stroked the mottled sword scars on the cauldron, "the ancestors forged the holy relic cauldron, both to guard and to surveil." Her Golden Blood dripped onto the cauldron's rim, revealing a coordinate map of the Star Law Court Peiyangcang.
The fungus's spore network suddenly sounded an alarm, and the bronze ground beneath them began to tremble. Gui Xu's Hēidòng expelled the last time‑whale remains, and in the scene Ao Li, sword in hand, was thrusting the Abyss Return Ruler into Lín Jìn's chest. Starweave's wing Star Rail began to destabilize: "This is about to happen..."
"The future can be changed." The residual consciousness of designation Guiyou suddenly accessed the Nine Cauldrons core, "Original Code of the Mother God retrieved, execute formatting?"
Ao Li and Lín Jìn pressed their hands on the cauldron's markings simultaneously. At the instant Dragon blood mingled with Star Sand, the Nine Cauldrons emitted a roar that spanned past and present. The silver‑haired infant Clone dissolved within the cauldron, turning into nourishment for the bronze sea. The mold spots on the fungal network began to recede, and the tainted holy script once again radiated Golden Light.
"Just one final step left." Lín Jìn's Star Sand transformation began to flow backward, and the Vermilion Bird's veil wrapped around the torch rising from the Nine Cauldrons, "someone must carry the Mother God Code deep into Gui Xu's Eye..."
Starweave's wing suddenly enveloped everyone: "Star Rail navigation system locked onto the coordinates, but it requires Celestial Star Sand as jump fuel." Her gaze fell on Lín Jìn's continuously shedding Star Sand embodiment.
Ao Li's dragon horns suddenly snapped, turning into two bronze keys that were inserted into the Nine Cauldrons: "The Dragon Clan never walks alone." Within the cauldron three hundred and sixty dragon souls rose, their tails forming a ring that shielded Lín Jìn's body as it began to dissipate, "It's time for the Star Law Court to witness the true…"
Gui Xu's tide reached its peak at this moment, and countless Starship explosions flashed outside the Nine Cauldrons domain. The database of designation Guiyou ran at full power, compiling the Mother God Code into a God‑slaying incantation.
