In the 89th year of the Star Dome Calendar, the portholes of the Forgefire Embryo Starship were stained a glazed hue by the quantum mist. Within Chen Feng's palm, the bee-patterned resonance core transmitted a tremor like an embryonic pulse. Outside the portholes, the "Forgefire Quantum Embryo Relic" at the edge of the Triangulum Galaxy resembled a suspended amber of time, nested with countless layers of quantum films. On each layer flowed water-patterned light traces identical to those of the Earth Cold Pool, while on the surface of the embryo-like structure at the core, twelve Pure Quality cracks oozed lethal entropy annihilation energy.
"Chen Feng! The relic's quantum embryo is collapsing," Su Yuhan said, her monitoring screen showing the light spots representing embryo activity decaying at a geometric rate. "The String Breakers remnants have deployed a 'quantum collapse field' around the periphery of the relic, and the 'Entropy Annihilation Embryo Core' at the center... is absorbing the quantum fluctuations of the Thirteenth Egg!" She suddenly pointed at the tactical screen. "The time flow rate inside the field is ten thousand times faster than the outside world; any physical entity that enters will instantly age into quantum dust!"
Liu Ruyan's communication was distorted by quantum turbulence, and the manifesting voice of the String-Weaver Civilization exploration captain trembled: "Our probes only survived 0.3 seconds inside the relic... but they captured images of th…
