In the 51st year of the Star Dome Calendar, the quantum ghost engine of the Forgefire Embryo Starship hummed at the edge of the parallel universe. Chen Feng gripped the Ancestral Forge Hammer, its chaotic surface markings resonating with the mirror star map beyond the porthole—it was the gateway to a parallel forgefire universe. The entire space appeared like a shattered mirror, with countless reflections of Chen Feng forging different star orbits within the fragments.
"Chen Feng! The forgefire frequency of this parallel universe is an anti-phase wave of our own," Su Yuhan said, her monitor flashing an eerie purple. "But... in the core mirror region, we have detected a forging frequency identical to Old Zhou's Gear Mold, and... the sound of your father's wrench striking!"
Liu Ruyan’s transmission suddenly broke through with chaotic forgefire noise. In the barely stabilized image, a mirror-version of Chen Feng wearing steampunk armor appeared. "Outsider! Your forgefire embryo is polluting the pure laws of the mirror universe. Leave at once!" Energy, originating from the same source as the Ancestral Forge Hammer, flowed across his armor, yet it carried a bone-chilling cold.
