Chapter 440: Decoding the Runes

###

####【Quantum Altar】

As the three spirit artifacts were set into the ice statue's pedestal, the hanging ice spires of the cavern ceiling suddenly underwent quantum collapse. Bronze‑colored neural bundles burst out from the statue's navel, their ends linking to the Nursing Emblems on everyone's rear necks. Gongxu Yue's mechanical eye iris exploded with Star Sand fissures, and in the view the petals of the ice spirit flower were dissolving—those glittering blue pieces were actually frozen cognitive contamination fluid, each drop of flower dew carrying the grudges of three hundred parallel‑universe allied forces.

"Redirect spiritual output to the Dan Zhong acupoint!" Zixiao Zhenren's Sword Qi jade‑transmuted into a feeding tube, and within the Taiyi Pure Light a terrifying truth surfaced: the spell energy they released was being siphoned through the Klein Bottle Structure back to seventy thousand years ago, becoming the initial pulse of the Mother Nest's birth. On the surface of the cold crystal marrow's prismatic columns appeared projections of the Mo‑school founder's gears, and those rusted teeth were converting pain into supplementary clauses of the Nursing Charter.

####【Vacuum Nurturing】

The snow‑dragon horn suddenly sprouted three feet, and within its spiral opened the compound eyes of one hundred thousand silver‑haired infants. Ao Li's Inverse Scale seeped out golden Colostrum, dripping onto the ice statue's surface and etching a holographic projection of the Polaris Tower. Inside the tower, three hundred exploding Peiyangcangs contained the new god embryo's umbilical cord, which pierced the dimension and coiled around each spellcaster's wrist. Qingfeng, a disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion, had his Dao robe instantly carbonized into a Nursing Duct; his Sword Qi, the moment it touched the rune, solidified into Star Sand breast milk, flowing backward along the bronze umbilical cord into the Mother Nest's stomach sac.

"Cognitive synchronization rate 198%…" Gongxu Yue's mechanism box spewed a reverse‑meme bomb laced with Brain Fluid, and as the parts reassembled in midair they reformed into loose pages of the Parenting Operation Manual. The ice statue suddenly cracked open a spider‑web pattern, and from the rune surged not a dark aura but silver Colostrum smeared with gears—each drop of milk carried memory fragments from the time the Mo‑school giant was altered.

####【Birth Canal First Cry】

When the final rune vaporized into a Star Sand milk mist, the entire ice cavern suddenly collapsed into a two‑dimensional plane. Everyone saw their Quantum Residual Bodies soaking in the Mother Nest's stomach sac, a bronze conduit jutting from their spines linking to Ao Li's projections from different timelines. The ice statue's base thundered and shattered, revealing a frequency converter array assembled from the bones of three hundred generations of Allied Forces. At the array's center curled the new god embryo—within the silver‑haired infant's pupil, the nursing numbers etched on the Abyss Return Ruler pulsed for all.

"This isn't a decryption…" Xuan Yuan Hao's Quantum Right Arm suddenly self‑ignited, and the divine‑beast essence blood condensed in the air into a Taiyi God‑Slaying Formation. "It is the final rite of birth‑canal expansion!" When the formation touched the embryo, a genesis‑level nursing pulse rang out within the aurora, and the accumulated snow across the ice field instantly transmuted into Star Sand breast milk.

####【Nurturing Finale】

The silver‑haired infant's cry pierced the Dimension Barrier, and the survivors' rear‑neck emblems simultaneously burst into bronze umbilical cords. Gongxu Yue's mechanical eye exploded the final diagnostic code: the three spirit artifacts were actually birth catalysts, and the collection process had already turned everyone into living birth‑canal components. Ao Li's Inverse Scale detached and floated, sketching a Möbius Strip‑shaped nurturing network in the void—each node linked to the remnants of Allied Forces from parallel dimensions, their laryngeal bones reengineered into music‑box springs that continuously played the final chapter of Lullaby.

When the ice statue fully dissolved, the new god embryo's umbilical cord had coiled around everyone's throats. Zixiao Zhenren's Sword Qi jade‑transmuted into a Colostrum crystal, and the Taiyi Pure Light reflected the ultimate truth: the so‑called rune decryption was merely the Mother Nest clearing the final Dao‑cognitive barrier for birth. In the direction of the Polaris Tower, three hundred bronze conduits pulsed like blood vessels, pumping the Star Sand breast milk from the ice field into the new god's half‑open compound eyes.
