The aftershocks of the disordered resonance stirred thousands of ripples within the Symbiotic Network. Suddenly, Leila's Weld-Point Mark received a string of holographic coordinates composed of the weld-points of 138 civilizations. At the terminal point of these coordinates, the beam of Ice Drip projected a distorted spacetime membrane. Suspended there was a giant network woven from liquid weld-points and stardust, every connecting line flowing with the memory spectrums of different civilizations. At the core of the network lay a mixture of collapsing silvery-white order and brilliant flaws.
"This is the neural center of the Symbiotic Network." Ice Drip's beam trembled with a rare awe. Three subtle solder nodule protrusions spontaneously emerged along the edge of its mirrored shell—this was the first time it retained "imperfect" features in its outward appearance. "When the disordered resonance activated the collective consciousness of all weld-points, they began self-assembling into a new cosmic organ." Leila's Mechanical Heart suddenly vibrated at the same frequency as the network. Within the gear's optical stream surfaced the final page of Mother's Notes—that once-blank page now filled with a connection chart identical to the weld-point network, down to the crooked triangle left by her welding mistake at age seven, which precisely corresponded to the node of Earth Civilization within the network.
When Leila's consciousness touched the weld-point network, the memories of …
