Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Cosmic Noise Rhapsody The morning bell of Starvault Academy of Music echoed over the ruins of the String Weavers' home world. Chen Feng gripped the newly forged Star String Commander's Baton, the gear crystals at its tip vibrating gently to the rhythm of the Milky Way's spiral arms. This should have been an ordinary workday, until Su Yuhan's emergency transmission shattered the peace: "Chen Feng! The String-Song Civilization in the Beta Lyrae sector has suddenly lost contact. Their resonance beacon... has turned into harsh, screeching noise!" The holographic star map was instantly flooded with a noise spectrum. Chen Feng watched as the glowing point representing the String-Song Civilization leaped frantically across the map, like a singer whose throat was being choked. The gears of the Resonance Compass emitted an unbearable grinding sound, fine cracks blooming across the center of the dial—the harbinger of a cosmic-scale resonance disorder.
