In the 91st year of the Star Dome Calendar, the portholes of the Forgefire Embryo Starship were shrouded in dense quantum mist. A light trembling, akin to a fledgling bird breaking its shell, emanated from the bee-patterned Egg-Nucleus Core in Chen Feng’s palm. Outside, the "Newborn Embryo Mist Domain" on the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy shimmered like a suspended liquid prism. Within a fog bank stretching ten thousand kilometers, semi-transparent, embryo-like structures rose and fell with the quantum tides. The Cold Abyss Ice Crystal ripples flowing across their surfaces harmonized with the Forging-Pattern of the Thirteenth Egg, yet twelve chains of Pure Quality mist—a "Symbiotic Blocking Net" woven by remnants of the String Breakers using dark matter—were wrapped around the embryos' umbilical cords, severing them from the cosmic energy field.
"Chen Feng! The embryo's quantum umbilical cord is necrotic," Su Yuhan reported. On her monitoring screen, the bands of light representing symbiotic connections were fading at a visible rate. "The Pure Quality fog core inside the Mist Domain is replicating Entropy Annihilation protocol code, and the embryo's 'Cold Abyss Resonance Crystal' is being converted into an anti-symbiotic prism!" She suddenly pointed to the tactical display. "The time flow in the Mist Domain has become anomalous. The embryo's growth cycle has been compressed to just 72 hours!"
Liu Ruyan patched in a faint signal composed of the sound of colliding mist droplet…
