Chapter 569: Ao Li

The crown of the Statue of Liberty in New York suddenly quantumized, seven thousand tons of bronze collapsing into a Klein bottle structure in the moonlight. Ao Li's dragon tail swept across the bottle mouth, the sparks scraped from her scales transforming into *I Ching* hexagrams and falling into the East River. NASA engineer Jackson's holographic tablet sounded a frantic alarm—gravitational wave detectors showed that dragon clan mass equivalent to three Mount Everests was oscillating between the Earth and Moon orbits.

"The *Kan* and *Li* are reversed, *Zhen* and *Xun* are swapped!" At the Daming Palace in Chang'an, Li Chunfeng's armillary sphere exploded into fragments. He dipped his finger in the black blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth and drew hexagrams on the palace bricks, the hexagrams matching the stress cracks of the space elevator "Kunlun" perfectly. When the 108th abacus bead flew off, he saw Ao Li's projection flickering in the star map, the Λ-crystal shackles of the Mars Buddha Wheel incident coiled around her dragon horns.

When Su Yaoji's star-raft crashed through the ice crystals of the stratosphere and landed, it was raining bronze in Manhattan. Every one of those dragon scale fragments overflowing from the phase space was engraved with the seal script of the *Yellow Court Scripture*. She raised her hand to catch a reverse scale, and a blood-red hexagram immediately appeared on her palm—it was the memory scene of the Moon Annihilation Battle three hundred years ago: the moment Ao Li destroyed her own star marrow left eye, the source code of the quantum anchoring system had splashed into her genes along with the dragon blood.

"Use the *Luo Shu* sequence to reconstruct the gravitational constant!" Su Yaoji's crane cloak swept over the NASA console, and the relativity equations on the holographic screen suddenly twisted into *He Tu* trajectories. When she drew the first *Luo Shu* Nine Palaces grid in the void, Ao Li's dragon claws were piercing the Tokyo Tower, the dragon blood dripping from her claws melting the Shibuya crossing into a glazed Buddha-land.

Li Chunfeng's paper crane transmission suddenly self-ignited, blood-red characters emerging from the ashes: "The anchoring core is in *Yinghuo* (Mars)." Su Yaoji's star marrow compass exploded, the fragments reflecting a terrifying truth—the carbon nanotube cables of the space elevator were flowing with dragon vein spinal fluid extracted from Ao Li's true body. Those flickering dragon bodies were not out of control, but were being used by someone to squeeze out her quantumized essence with gravitational waves!

Twelve mechanical Arhats suddenly rose from the base of "Kunlun," the lasers spraying from their eye sockets currently carving the *Heart Sutra* onto the surface of the space elevator. Jackson pulled up the gravitational wave spectrum, discovering that the scripture frequency was in perfect resonance with the thunder tribulation: "Someone is using Buddhist scriptures to simulate the heavenly tribulation!" His mechanical prosthetic eye suddenly exploded with Sanskrit code, his entire right arm uncontrollably grabbing toward Su Yaoji's crane cloak.

Su Yaoji's hairpin drew the trajectory of the Big Dipper, severing the mechanical arm, but dark red dragon clan secret texts gushed from the wound. Those characters automatically assembled into an armillary sphere structure, the center of which was shockingly Ao Li's anchoring coordinate on Mars. She suddenly vomited black blood containing stardust—her own mitochondrial DNA was being rewritten into the password of the dragon clan observation station.

A heaven-shaking thunderclap came from the direction of Chang'an, and the armillary sphere projection catalyzed by Li Chunfeng burning his life essence shrouded the sky. When the positions of the Twenty-Eight Mansions were forcibly twisted, Ao Li's dragon head suddenly manifested in Martian synchronous orbit. Her amber vertical pupils reflected Su Yaoji's figure, the dragon roar mixed with binary encoding: "... black blood Buddha wheel... anchor..."

NASA's quantum computer suddenly overloaded, and the figure of the Pavilion Master appeared on the holographic screen. He toyed with the black hole singularity recovered from the Ninth Laboratory, the star map behind him showing three hundred dragon clan mass points converging toward the solar system. "Time to welcome the true observer," the Pavilion Master's fingertips brushed Ao Li's true body curled up in the phase space, "use your dragon bones to pave the star road."

Su Yaoji's star marrow tattoo suddenly burned, and in her agony, she saw a new scene: the wounds left by the Pavilion Master during the Mars Buddha Wheel incident were actually API interfaces for implanting the dragon clan observation station into himself. That flowing black blood was currently compiling the smart contract of the *Nirvana Sutra* on the blockchain.

"Reverse the *Luo Shu* sequence!" Li Chunfeng's voice pierced the ionosphere. Su Yaoji tore open the void, using her hairpin dipped in dragon blood to rewrite the equations on the surface of the space elevator. When the final Greek letter Ω was replaced by the hexagram "Weiji," the entire elevator suddenly glazed over, the causal chain of the Mars Buddha Wheel incident emerging on its surface.

Ao Li's dragon tail suddenly swept across low Earth orbit, space station wreckage transforming into the golden characters of the *Sutra of Salvation* amidst the friction of dragon scales. Her true body finally manifested completely—the thousand-meter dragon body was covered in quantum suture lines, every wound connected to a version of herself in some parallel time and space. When NASA's gravitational wave detector aimed at her heart, Su Yaoji saw the cruelest truth: the core of the anchoring system was Ao Li's own star marrow left eye, currently beating in the Martian lava.

"Use the supernova model!" Jackson suddenly regained consciousness, his mechanical prosthetic eye projecting Einstein's field equations. Su Yaoji embedded the *He Tu Luo Shu* into the relativity model, and a Congenital Eight Trigrams array suddenly appeared on the ground of Manhattan. When the gravitational wave and thunder tribulation frequencies were forcibly decoupled, Ao Li's dragon horns pierced the dimensional barrier, revealing the terrifying existence hidden in the phase space—a star gate composed of ten thousand dragon clan corpses, currently absorbing her quantumized mass.

Li Chunfeng committed suicide on the roof of the Daming Palace, his gushing blood activating the ultimate form of the armillary sphere. Chang'an transformed into a three-dimensional *He Tu*, producing quantum entanglement with New York's *Luo Shu* matrix. In the singularity of time-space oscillation, Su Yaoji grabbed Ao Li's Reverse Scale and leaped into the phase space, using the Λ-crystal sealed in her star marrow tattoo to rewrite the anchoring code. When the crystal shattered, she saw the memory erased three hundred years ago—she herself was the original designer of Ao Li's phase anchoring. ===== CHAPTER 570 =====
