In the 105th year of the Star Dome Calendar, the portholes of the Forgefire Embryo Starship were shrouded in icy blue light. A muffled sound, like glass expanding, emanated from the honey-patterned prism core in Chen Feng’s palm. Outside the porthole, the "Rainbow Fleet," composed of prism symbiotes, was undergoing a bizarre crystallization: the starlight of the Light-Gravel Clan condensed into diamond-shaped ice crystals on their surfaces, the gear patterns of the Mirror Abyss Clan fractured into sharp crystalline prisms, and even the most supple Cold Pool Water Ripple forged patterns froze into translucent lattice chains within the vessels of the fused entities. From the "Symbiotic Community Cultivation Pod" at the core came the crisp sound of ice cracking, and the surface of the embryo suspended within began to sprout black crystal nuclei that devoured the forging patterns. "Chen Feng! The crystallization rate of the fused entities' biological forging patterns has exceeded 87%," Su Yuhan said. On her monitor, the rainbow Spectrum representing the symbiotic index was being engulfed by monochromatic ice crystals. "The remnants of the String Breakers have implanted a 'Crystallization Virus' in the core of the cultivation pod. These nano-scale crystal nuclei follow the forging pattern chains to devour heterogeneous traits. Even the harmonizing marks of the Cold Pool Water Ripple... are being parsed into crystal code!" Liu Ruyan’s transmission was torn by the sound of grindin…
