In the 39th year of the Star Dome Calendar, the spectrum monitor of the Cold Pool Quantum Lighthouse suddenly erupted with a blinding red light. The gear assembly of the Resonance Compass in Chen Feng's hand vibrated violently, its pointer aiming straight at the "Light-Weaver Sector" on the edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud—where a civilization composed of pure energy light-nets was floating, currently disintegrating at a rate of thirty percent per second.
"The spectral frequency matches the helium-neon resonance wave of Earth's auroras." Su Yuhan's voice carried a tremor. On the holographic screen, the light-net of the Light-Weaver Civilization was being sliced apart by black rifts, every single one of them radiating dark matter radiation homologous to the String Breakers. "What's even stranger is... the rhythm of the light-net's disintegration matches the current fluctuations when Old Zhou was repairing the generator back in the day."
Liu Ruyan's interstellar communicator transmitted an emergency call from the String-Weaver Civilization: "Chen Feng! The Light-Weavers' 'Starlight Anthem' is being rewritten. Inside their memory light-cocoons... electric welding sparks from 1980s Earth are appearing!"
