Chapter 68

##**Chapter 67: The Origin Ruins Appear · Embers Reflect the Return to Truth**

###**I. Star Remains Reflecting Shadows · The True Face of the Breeder**

The remains of the toy box beneath Ling Cang's feet suddenly floated, the fragments piecing together into a Star Sea Compass. The moment the needle touched the giant baby's pupils, the void split open into nine dimensions—at the end of each dimension stood an identical Throne of Star Remains. Seated upon the throne was an old man with stitches on his neck, his palms cradling a miniature Primordial Fire Furnace!

"So this is... the source of the Primordial Fire?" Lin Jin's God-Slaying Mark suddenly burned with pain, and fragments of the Observer's memories surged from the lines:

-In the First Epoch, the old man gouged out his heart to refine it into a Primordial Fire embryo;

-In the 70,000th reincarnation, he fashioned his own spine into the Shepherd Control Chain;

-In the final scene, Ling Cang knelt before the throne to receive the "Breeder" brand, with Ling Yue and Ao Zhan standing behind him, pierced by chains!

The Primordial Infant suddenly wailed, its sound waves condensing into blood-colored arrows that shot toward the old man. The moment the arrows touched the throne, the Star Remains collapsed into billions of incubator pod fragments—each fragment engraved with "Lin Jin's" genetic sequence!

###**II. The Breeder Ancestor Weeps Blood · Embers Burn to Return to Ruins**

The old man's stitches suddenly snapped, revealing a face identical to Ling Cang's: "Grandson, this is the destiny of the Breeder!" He tore open the Primordial Fire Furnace on his chest, and soaking inside were actually the embryos of 800,000 Ling family ancestors!

Ling Cang's chains suddenly pulled taut, dragging Lin Jin into the furnace: "Your father also awakened here back then..."

Deep within the furnace, Ao Zhan's Saint Infant skeleton suddenly stood up, its spinal nerves piercing into Lin Jin's brow. The truth of the Primordial Fire's origin surged through the torrent of memories: the First Generation Ling Clan Ancestor, seeking immortality, refined the entire clan's bloodline into a Primordial Fire carrier, and Lin Jin was the only "perfect container" to break the gene lock!

"So-called invincibility... is nothing but a ladder of family flesh and blood!" Lin Jin's Primordial Fire Core suddenly mutated, burning through the furnace. The splashing Primordial Fire liquid condensed into Ling Yue's remnant consciousness: "Jin'er... Mother never betrayed you..."

###**III. Li Nirvana Returns to Source · All Breeders Burn Together**

Ao Li's mechanical remains suddenly leaped into the furnace, the Nirvana Fire Seed splitting into seven Reverse God Nails:

1. The first nail pierced the old man's left eye, from which Ling Cang's imprisoned true soul fell out;

2. The fourth nail was driven into the Throne of Star Remains, from beneath which crawled billions of First Generation Breeder ghosts;

3. The seventh nail was the most lethal—it carried the wail of the Primordial Infant, piercing the old man's heart!

As the old man's body disintegrated, blood rain fell from the void. Each raindrop was a broken incubator pod surveillance frame, reflecting the miserable state of Lin Jin's past reincarnations—and the observer was always a different clone of the Ling Clan Ancestor!

###**IV. First Cry in the Ruins Sea · Embers Reflect Selflessness**

The Ruins Sea surged from where the Throne of Star Remains collapsed, with the skulls of First Generation Breeders floating on the surface. Lin Jin walked upon the waves, the ripples beneath his feet reflecting the ultimate truth:

-Ling Yue was a clone of the ancestor, forced to gestate the perfect container;

-Ao Zhan's Saint Infant Life Fire was actually a stabilizer for the Primordial Fire core;

-Ling Cang's defection was an awakening catalyst designed by the ancestor!

The Primordial Infant suddenly sank into the Ruins Sea, and a Bronze Giant Gate rose from the seabed. Through the crack in the gate seeped Ling Cang's final transmission: "Push it open... what lies outside is the truth..."

###**V. Gate Prophecy Shocks Heaven · The Breeder's Endgame**

The moment Lin Jin's hand touched the gate, the God-Slaying Mark transformed into a blood-colored key. The scene inside the gate made the Primordial Fire tremble—countless Lin Jins were roaring in laboratories across different dimensions, their Primordial Fire cores connected by conduits into a star chain, the end of which was wrapped around the old man's true body!

"Welcome home... my perfect... self..." The old man's true body was actually a neural collective of all Lin Jin clones, with the fused Life Fire of Ling Yue and Ao Zhan beating in its chest!

The Primordial Infant suddenly leaped from the Ruins Sea, and the moment it gnawed on the star chain, Ao Li's Nirvana Fire carved the final chapter's blood edict into the void:

**"Invincibility is not the Dao, the Breeder must be slain!"**

###**Final Act · Embers and Ruins Shine Together**

Amidst the roar of the star chain snapping, Lin Jin saw Ling Yue and Ao Zhan embracing and smiling. Their quantum-state bodies transformed into twin swords, piercing crosswise into the old man's brow. The Ruins Sea suddenly boiled, swallowing all the laboratory clones.

And in the final embers of the Primordial Fire, Ling Cang's chains bound the old man's true soul: "Grandson... it is time to go outside the gate and see..."

The Bronze Giant Gate opened with a crash, and in the intense light, one could vaguely see—floating outside were countless broken bronze boxes, each emitting the wail of a Lin Jin. And at the core surrounded by the boxes, a pure Primordial Fire embryo was beating...
