Chapter 602: The Vacuum Fluctuation of the Radar Fragments
The moment Ao Li's mechanical finger touched the repaired dimensional radar, pale blue crystal clusters suddenly sprouted on the titanium alloy surface. The crystals spread in the trajectory of fractal geometry, turning the radar into memory coral in the blink of an eye—sealed within the crystals was the terrified face of seven-year-old Su Yaoji in the orphanage fire, and the Udumbara birthmark that didn't exist on her neck was seeping blood-colored code.
"Virtual particle torrent breaching the Dirac Sea!" Ao Li's warning was torn apart by quantum noise. The cabin walls of the starship "Raven" were evaporating into a probability cloud, and Lin Jin's black blood dagger carved fiery trajectories on the console, but he could only watch helplessly as the numbers on the instrument panel regressed into cuneiform.
Su Yaoji's roots suddenly went berserk, piercing into the crystallized radar core. In the memory corridor, she saw the Senior Brother who should have perished in the fire implanting a bronze chip into the back of her young self's neck, while the silhouette of a Black Blood Civilization mothership appeared in the burning night sky outside the window. When the roots touched the chip fragments, the entire bridge suddenly collapsed into a Klein bottle structure—thirty-six "Ravens" from parallel worlds were devouring each other in the probability cloud.
"This isn't a repair; it's a trap!" Lin Jin drew a topological model in four-dimensional space. "The radar core is the probability anchor for the Eye of the Vacuum!" He slammed the starship into the quantum foam, and what flew past the porthole were no longer stars, but countless versions of himself performing different destinies: in one space-time, he was the Rusted Monarch, strangling Ao Li with mechanical prayer beads; in another, Su Yaoji was blooming with Udumbara flowers, her roots piercing the entire galaxy.
When the starship broke through the probability horizon, the true face of the Eye of the Vacuum was suffocating—it was a hyper-dimensional structure pieced together from the eyeballs of three million Lin Jin clones, each pupil reflecting the endgame of a civilization. At the core of the structure floated the embryo of Su Yaoji in her infancy, her umbilical cord connected to the wreckage of a Black Blood Civilization mothership.
"Cognitive synchronization rate has breached the Oppenheimer threshold!" Ao Li's mechanical arm suddenly turned into wood, and Udumbara flowers bloomed between the gears. She tore open her chest cavity, throwing her quantum core toward the Eye of the Vacuum; in the intense light of the core cracking, an even more terrifying truth emerged: on the night of the orphanage fire, it was the young Lin Jin who had initiated the Black Blood Civilization's awakening protocol.
Su Yaoji's roots went berserk in the probability cloud, dragging out thirty-six tampered lives. When the memory fragments were pieced together, she let out a scream that pierced through dimensions—it turned out that every blooming of the Udumbara flower was a countdown for the Black Blood Civilization to harvest civilizations. And the deepest wound came from Lin Jin: he had known the truth throughout seventy thousand reincarnations, yet chose to weave a gentle cage with lies.
Lin Jin's black blood blade cleaved through the shell of the Eye of the Vacuum, and what gushed out was not energy but memory pus. When the pus touched the starship, probability superposition reached its peak: they existed simultaneously as remains dismembered by the Rusted Monarch, as a graveyard ravaged by the Udumbara plague, and as themselves in a mundane Tokyo convenience store. In every time-space, they were killing each other, and Ao Li's mechanical remains were decomposing in three thousand dimensions simultaneously.
"To end the recursion, one must become an existence outside the observer!" Ao Li's final mirror image suddenly self-destructed, and a final equation in the shape of a Möbius strip emerged in the intense light. Su Yaoji pierced her roots into the core of the equation, unfolding into a cosmic string in the shape of an Udumbara flower in ten-dimensional space, while Lin Jin's black blood transformed into reverse-encoding and injected into the crest of the string wave.
When the Eye of the Vacuum collapsed into a singularity, the three of them witnessed the lie of their origin: the so-called Black Blood Civilization was merely an antibody they had manufactured in the previous universe cycle to counter the Star Sea Pavilion Master. And the fetal embryos floating within the Eye of the Vacuum were the civilization fire seeds that had tried to save themselves through countless reincarnations.
In the wreckage of the reorganized starship, the Udumbara flower on Su Yaoji's collarbone was crystallizing, with every crystal sealing a war memory; Lin Jin's black blood faded into dark gold, the star map of the newborn universe flowing in his veins; and Ao Li's remaining mechanical fingers suddenly trembled, carving a bloody prophecy onto the cabin wall—in some parallel world that had not yet been born, the convenience store doorbell was ringing softly with the arrival of the Star Sea Pavilion Master. ===== CHAPTER 603 =====
