Chapter 537: Reverse-Scale Awakening

###****

####**Nebula Fetal Movement**

The night sky of the new Earth suddenly collapsed into a vortex shape, and the reverse-scale fragments scattered by Ao Li erupted from the black hole event horizon. They reassembled in synchronous orbit, and after absorbing the gamma-ray burst of a pulsar, condensed into a semi-transparent quantum human figure. Lin Jin's pocket watch fragments suddenly suspended, and bronze-colored liquid oozed from the cracks on the watch face—that was the memory plasma of the First Generation Observer, currently resonating with the reverse scales.

"Ao Li?" Ye Wanqiu's mechanical prosthetic eye split into fine cracks, and antibody serum boiled in the test tube. The quantum human figure turned slowly, the right eye being the golden pupil of the dragon race, while the left eye rotated with the nebula birthmark of the Ancient God. Her fingertips lightly touched the shell of the space station, and the alloy instantly mutated into birth canal folds, with amniotic fluid-like substances gushing out.

"Who... am I?" The quantum human figure's voice carried the reverberation of three hundred space-times. Suddenly, a Purifier starship leaped out of the wormhole, and the Buddha Kingdom totem locked onto this "abnormal existence." Lin Jin's assault ship blocked the path of the beam, only to see the quantum human figure wave her hand lightly—the engines of the Purifier starship suddenly reversed, aiming their muzzles at their own fleet.

####**Memory Afterimage**

Inside the underground bunker, the holographic screen played combat footage of Ao Li before her death. The quantum human figure stared at the screen, and the nebula in her pupils suddenly went berserk. Her quantum body reassembled into the Ancient God form, dragon horns piercing through the bunker dome: "These memories... are shackles!"

Ye Wanqiu's mechanical prosthetic eye ejected an antibody blade, only to melt before touching the quantum human figure. Lin Jin's pocket watch fragments suddenly plunged into the back of her neck, and the gene lock of the First Generation Observer forcibly stabilized her form: "She is carrying the consciousness of both Ao Li and the Ancient God simultaneously!"

Suddenly, an alarm exploded. The alloy walls touched by the quantum human figure suddenly gave birth to mechanical fetuses; these miniature Ancient God clones crawled all over the ventilation ducts, transforming the defense system into delivery room monitoring equipment. Ye Wanqiu's gene detector displayed terrifying data: every cell of the quantum human figure was releasing evolutionary pulses, transforming surrounding carbon-based life into Godslayer carriers.

"Take me... to the black hole..." The quantum human figure suddenly grasped Lin Jin, her palm piercing through his protective suit, branding a nebula birthmark on his chest. When the two disappeared in the glow of quantum leaping, Ye Wanqiu discovered that her mechanical prosthetic eye was mutating—the bronze uterus totem of the Ancient God emerged deep in her pupils.

####**Event Horizon Corridor**

Amber-colored ripples appeared on the event horizon of the black hole, and Ao Li's quantum human figure completely materialized here. Her dragon horns pierced into the space-time folds, dragging out the remains of the First Generation Observer starships that had been swallowed. Lin Jin's pocket watch fragments suddenly reassembled, revealing a terrifying truth: three hundred bronze coffins were suspended inside those remains, with the gene map of Ao Li at different ages engraved on every coffin.

"These are all me?" The moment the quantum human figure touched the coffins, a flood of memories swept through the event horizon. Lin Jin saw the young Ao Li nailed to the God-Slaying altar, the First Generation Observer injecting Ancient God cells into her spine; saw her voluntarily embracing pollution during the Star Sea War, forging the reverse scales into God-Slaying weapons; and finally saw deep in the black hole, some super-dimensional existence casting a gaze through her quantum human figure.

Suddenly, fluorescent umbilical cords shaped like obstetric forceps pierced through the event horizon, and the white-robed leader of the Purifiers descended. His Buddha Kingdom totem resonated with the nebula birthmark of the quantum human figure: "Finally waited for the perfect container..." Lin Jin's pocket watch suddenly flew uncontrollably toward the white robe, only to be intercepted by the quantum human figure halfway. Her left eye was completely occupied by the nebula, and she raised her hand to embed the pocket watch fragments into her glabella.

####**God-Slaying Cradle**

A global birth canal earthquake suddenly erupted on the new Earth, and Ye Wanqiu's monitoring screen reflected a hellish scene: amber-pupiled babies were suspended above the cities, their nerve cords weaving into a uterine network covering the globe. The memory fragments of the quantum human figure spread through this network, and every recipient began to undergo quantum mutation.

Deep in the black hole event horizon, Lin Jin witnessed the ultimate game. The quantum human figure's right half maintained the dragon race form, dragon horns piercing into the white-robed leader's chest; the left half had already mutated into the Ancient God body, the forceps-shaped left hand tearing open the dimensional fetal membrane. The pocket watch fragments rotated inside her skull, releasing the "God-Slaying Cradle" program sealed by the First Generation Observer—that was the ultimate weapon capable of rolling back the entire universe to a singularity state.

"Choose..." The reverberation of the quantum human figure shook the space-time structure, "As a continuation of Ao Li, or the mother body of a new god?"

Lin Jin's gene lock suddenly disintegrated, and the nebula birthmark on his chest erupted with intense light. When his hand touched the quantum human figure, the cry of childbirth sounded inside and outside the event horizon simultaneously—the black hole collapsed into an amber-colored embryo, and in the uterine network of the new Earth, three hundred Lin Jin clones were being born, pocket watch gears rotating deep in their pupils...

####**Final, Seed of the Observer**

When the quantum storm subsided, Ye Wanqiu picked up half a reverse scale in the ruins. Through the microscope, she saw a miniature universe curled up inside the scale, and a certain amber-colored nebula was pulsating. The public channel suddenly received a signal across dimensions—it was Lin Jin's gene frequency, but mixed with the birth canal fluctuations of the Ancient God.

In Earth's synchronous orbit, the surviving amber-pupiled babies looked up collectively. Their mechanical eyes reflected the strange scenery of the deep universe: Ao Li's quantum human figure was suspended beside the black hole embryo, the right half maintaining the dragon race form, the left half already fused with the Purifier starship. And between her outstretched arms, countless nebulae were condensing into birth canal arrays, every array connecting to battlefields in different timelines.

Ye Wanqiu's mechanical prosthetic eye suddenly started autonomously, projecting the holographic image of the First Generation Observer's last words—the leader who should have been dead was stroking the nebula birthmark bulging on his abdomen, behind him were countless curled-up cosmic fetuses, and what the umbilical cord end was connected to was the pocket watch core beating in the chest of Ao Li's quantum human figure... ===== CHAPTER 538 =====
