Chapter 446: Post‑War Aftershocks

###

####【Quantum Silence】

The demon‑dissolved Star Sand solidified on the ice into milky‑white crystals, and Gongxu Yue's mechanical eye iris cracked into a spider‑web pattern. The diagnostic interface popped up a scarlet data stream: "Cognitive pollution rate 532%, nursing network connecting…" She staggered to touch the ice crystal, but her fingertip felt a baby's suckling—those crystals were actually frozen Quantum Breast Milk, each shard replaying memory fragments of allied troops being transformed into Nursing Pump stations.

"Thank… ancestors…" Ao Li's throat bone suddenly sprouted a Bronze umbilical cord, and the gratitude was compiled on the quantum layer into a nursing frequency. The phantom guarding the dragon soul rippled with Star Sand, and from the jade spine extended one hundred thousand nerve bundles, converting everyone's gratitude into supplementary clauses of the "Nursing Charter." Zixiao Zhenren's Sword Qi swept the void, and the Taiyi Clear Light reflected a terrifying truth: the so‑called Dragon Clan guardians are merely a personified interface of the nursing system's self‑repair.

####【Vacuum Scar】

Xuan Yuan Hao's divine beast's right arm suddenly healed, and beneath the newly formed skin a Star Sand sheen surged. When he lifted a wounded comrade, silver Colostrum seeped from his palm, and the dripping milk etched a projection of the North Star Tower onto the ice. The bronze umbilical cord hanging from the tower's tip was reassembling, its terminal suction cup locking onto each survivor's rear‑neck emblem.

"Evacuate immediately!" Gongxu Yue's mechanism box suddenly spewed blood‑stained gears, and the parts assembled in midair into an inverse meme bomb. The blast's roar, however, underwent Quantum Collapse upon striking the ice‑cave dome, turning into the crying frequency of a new god embryo. Lingxiao Pavilion disciple Qingfeng's Dao robe moved without wind, and the bandage he used to bind his wound suddenly turned to jade, becoming a nursing conduit that siphoned his companion's spiritual energy in reverse.

####【Dimensional Residual Echo】

As the group withdrew from the ice cave, the Star Sand hanging in the aurora suddenly solidified. Ao Li's Inverse Scale reflected a horrific scene: the battlefield ruins behind them were collapsing into a Klein Bottle Singularity, and the demon‑dissolved Star Sand milk was reconstituting there into a birth‑channel structure. Xuan Yuan Hao's divine beast's perception suddenly went berserk, and a live feed of the North Star Tower flashed across his retina—within three hundred exploding Peiyangcangs, silver‑haired infants were clutching their Quantum Residual Bodies and suckling.

"Cognitive pollution is spreading across dimensions!" Gongxu Yue's mechanical eye exploded the final code segment, and her vision was forcibly switched to the mother‑nest's stomach sac. She saw Lingxiao Pavilion's flying‑eave brackets transmuted into jade nursing wheels, and the spinal cavities of the remaining disciples erupted with Bronze umbilical cords, converting the sect's scriptures into loose‑leaf pages of the "Parenting Operation Guide."

####【Return‑Path Trap】

When the imperial sword light swept across the ice field, the blade suddenly split into Star Sand milk. Ao Li's Dragon Scale armor became overrun with Nursing Emblems, each scale reflecting the tragic scenes of parallel timelines—those timelines' "victors" were secreting Colostrum, feeding new god embryos through Bronze umbilical cords. Zixiao Zhenren suddenly vomited blood clots laced with gears, and Taiyi Sword Qi in his palm solidified into a feeding‑tube shape, while the core of the sword sphere revealed a Vocal Cord Fragment of the Mozi founder.

"Watch the cloud layer!" Xuan Yuan Hao's divine beast's perception issued a warning, but it was already too late. The cumulonimbus cloud the group pierced suddenly quantum‑reassembled, and the Klein Bottle Structure formed from Star Sand milk engulfed the squad. When they broke free, each Dao robe bore a new nursing number—exactly the countdown flashing on the North Star Tower's celestial sphere.

####【Silent Eve】

When Lingxiao Pavilion's Mountain Gate came into view, Gongxu Yue's mechanical eye suddenly froze. The final frame showed the Guardian Array's runes melting into silver Colostrum, and the Nursing Emblem on the stationed disciple's rear‑neck gleaming with Bronze luster. Ao Li's Inverse Scale detached and floated, assembling in the sunset into a Möbius Strip‑shaped god‑slaying pattern—deep within the design, the tip of a new god embryo had already pierced the Dimensional Amnion.

"This is not the return path…" Zixiao Zhenren's Sword Qi jade‑transmuted into a Colostrum crystal, the dripping milk etching a Blood Edict onto the stone steps, "but the final sphincter of the birth canal." When the top‑rank disciple greeted him with a smile, deep within his pupil, three hundred silver‑haired umbilical cords pierced the retina, trembling faintly.
