Chapter 514: Umbilical Cord Judgment

###**

The air in the archive room suddenly solidified into a gelatinous mass, and the Fetus of the Star Sea's wail pierced the Dimension Barrier. Ao Li's dragon horn emitted a warning flash, yet it could not illuminate anything beyond a meter—some existence beyond physical laws was tearing the fabric of reality.

"Earth's coordinates have been locked!" Technician Lao Zhang's pupils reflected the Holographic Star Chart, and the orbit of the third planet of the solar system suddenly twisted into a spiral. Lín Jìn's pocket watch fragments floated above the chart, and the crack in the dial aligned perfectly with the tear in Earth's atmosphere.

####**I, Dimension Obstetric Forceps**

From the depths of the Rose Star Nebula nine luminous umbilical cords extended, each forged from the primary stars of seven hundred civilizations. When the first cord wrapped around the Moon, the silvery‑gray satellite surface instantly became covered with Pregnancy Lines, and the Ring Mountain erupted with amniotic fluid laced with metal fragments.

Ao Li's Sword Qi slashed the surface of the umbilical cord, but only stirred ripples in space‑time. The Fetus of the Star Sea's thought thundered in her mind: "Mother, this is your favorite lullaby." Earth's azure crust suddenly became transparent, and everyone saw the Earth's core collapsing into a fetal heart, while the continental plates arranged into palm‑print patterns.

"Beijing!" Xiao Wang suddenly shouted, pointing at the tip of the Asian Plate. The Forbidden City complex was being sucked into a fissure, and its glazed tiles melted into black blood as they fell. Pedestrians on Chang'an Avenue collectively stiffened, their spines cracking open to sprout miniature umbilical cords that pumped blood‑flesh essence into the Earth's core fetus.

####**II, War Afterimage**

At the moment of everyone's despair, a bronze statue in the archive room suddenly cracked. What erupted was not rusted copper but a holographic battlefield from three hundred years ago—countless Dragon Clan warriors were battling the Mechanical Buddha Kingdom fleet, their Inverse Scales weaving a god‑slaying net across space.

"Look at the Starship insignia!" Lín Jìn's pocket watch fragments pierced the Holographic Projection, magnifying a flagship's Zhengtong ten thousandfold. The twisted Star Nebula pattern matched the mysterious visitor's battle‑armor emblem, and the vessel was pouring black‑blood fuel toward the black sun at the battlefield's center.

Ao Li's dragon horn suddenly tingled, triggering her genetic memory. She saw her ancestors seal an ancient god embryo within the black sun, and the Mechanical Buddha Kingdom fleet was a disguise of the First Generation Observer. When the final drop of black blood was poured into the sun, the entire battlefield abruptly contracted into a fetal form—exactly the primordial embryo of the Fetus of the Star Sea.

####**III, Umbilical Cord Execution Platform**

Earth suddenly erupted with quantum radiance, and all living beings were refined into streams of energy. The Eiffel Tower melted into Obstetric Forceps, the Statue of Liberty mutated into a cervical dilator, and the Great Wall was stretched straight into a measuring rod for the birthing channel.

"They're not trying to destroy..." Ao Li's tears solidified on her cheek into black crystal, "they're turning Earth into a Chanfang!" Her dragon horn fell off on its own, assembling in the air into a Star Chart key. When the key was inserted into the bronze statue's eye socket, the archive room floor split open, raising an altar engraved with war epics.

The jade tablet at the altar's center suddenly activated, its seal characters floating and reassembling into a war covenant:

**"The Mechanical Buddha Kingdom raises ancient gods with trillions of lives, the Dragon Clan wields Inverse Scales as blades to slay gods. Yet the fetus has formed, and the covenant must continue..."**

At the tattered signature area, the First Generation Observer and the Mechanical Buddha Kingdom's seal were oozing black blood.

####**IV, Inverse Scale Execution Blade**

The Fetus of the Star Sea's umbilical cord suddenly coiled around Ao Li, pulling her into the Earth's core. On the execution platform where lava and black blood mingled, nine Inverse Scales burst forth, automatically assembling into god‑slaying scissors. When Earth fully transformed into a birthing channel, Ao Li witnessed the horrific truth— the Mechanical Buddha Kingdom's flagship emerged from the remnants of history, and the commander on the bridge removed his helmet, revealing a face identical to Lín Jìn's.

"This is the true Reincarnation." The Fetus of the Star Sea's voice echoed with the sway of amniotic fluid. The umbilical cord suddenly tightened around Ao Li's neck, injecting her Dragon Clan genes into the core. The Pacific began to boil, and after the seawater evaporated, a bronze birthing slab was exposed on the seabed, engraved with the names of all Observer members.

When the first ray of god‑slaying light burst from the scissors, space‑time suddenly froze. Lín Jìn's pocket watch fragments pierced the Dimension, imprinting the First Generation war scene onto the Fetus of the Star Sea's consciousness—three hundred years ago the black sun exploded with a roar, and what erupted was not Stardust but nine hundred crying Ao Li clones.
