In the 108th year of the Star Dome Calendar, the portholes of the Forgefire Embryo Starship were sliced into irregular prisms by the gold-purple glow of the nest-pattern. A sharp pain, like tearing root systems, surged from the bee-patterned nest core in Chen Feng's palm. Outside the portholes, the "Nest-Pattern Labyrinth"—formed by the intertwined root systems of twelve primal crystal nests—was undergoing a deadly petrification. The silver-blue nest-pattern root systems looked like vines drained of moisture, their surfaces sprouting dark golden "Entropy Annihilation Root Nodules." Every single nodule was devouring the primal fluid within the roots, while from the "Symbiotic Root Network" at the core came the cracking sounds of impending death. At the far ends of the root systems, the embryo cradles were being forcibly converted into a cold metallic graveyard.
"Chen Feng! The symbiotic transmission rate of the root network has plummeted to five percent!" Su Yuhan's monitoring screen was overrun by dark golden root nodules. "The String Breakers' remnants have implanted a 'Root Nodule Stripping Core' into the root system core, and they are rewriting the water-ripple genes of the nest-pattern roots into pure-quality entropy annihilation metal chains!" She suddenly pointed at the tactical display. "The root system imprint of the Cold Pool Water Ripple... is being etched into the transmission tracks of mechanical gears!"
Liu Ruyan's communication was torn into static by the crac…
