In the 92nd year of the Star Dome Calendar, the portholes of the Forgefire Embryo Starship were filled with a seven-colored halo refracted by ice crystals. A sound like a glacier cracking emanated from the bee-patterned mist core in Chen Feng’s palm. Outside the porthole, the "Forgefire Symbiotic Rime Belt" at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy resembled a frozen river of stars. Along the million-kilometer-long chain of rime crystals, the Cold Pool mist-forging patterns and stardust ice crystals were in violent repulsion; the Pure Quality ice armor covering the surface of the crystals was crushing the symbiotic structures into powder, and the "Rime Resonance Core" at the center emitted a dying buzz.
"Chen Feng! The equilibrium index of the Rime Belt has fallen below the critical threshold," Su Yuhan said. On her monitor, the light bands representing mist and ice crystals were splitting into two poles. "The remnants of the String Breakers have embedded 'Pure Quality Ice Cores' into the crystal chain, turning the mist-forging patterns into absolute solids!" She suddenly pointed to the tactical screen. "Worse yet, the Cold Pool Quantum Imprint of the resonance core... is being rewritten into a glacial code of anti-symbiosis!"
A fragmented noise of clashing ice crystals broke through Liu Ruyan’s incoming communication. It was the semi-solid Rime Clan leader, "Frost-Locust," whose body was composed of mist-condensed ice crystals, with a "Rime Core" homologous to the Cold Pool mist…
