When the Stardust Train sailed into the central spiral arm of the Sea of Memory Stars, the symbiotic mark in Arui's palm suddenly revealed gear-like patterns—those golden light bands meshed and rotated like precision instruments, with every gear mark reflecting the technological tree faults of different civilizations. Ice Drip's algorithmic halo marked abnormal fluctuations on the stardmap: at the gravitational singularity of the Sea of Memory Stars, there existed a "Broken Chain Nebula" composed of symbiotic core fragments, its quantum entanglement state's breaking frequency forming a dangerous resonance with the rotational rhythm of Arui's mark.
"Decay signal of the symbiotic core detected." Ice Drip's halo projected a shattered model of the source core onto the porthole, twelve core fragments orbiting the void singularity like planets. "This is the symbiotic origin from the beginning of the universe's birth, yet now it is gradually disintegrating due to civilizations forgetting—the decay of every fragment will sever a key symbiotic evolutionary chain." Auri's Photon Harp String emitted a sharp sound like metal friction, the light particles condensing on the string presenting a rusted dark gold: "The memory virus of the Memory Crystal Civilization is merely a superficial symptom; the true lesion is right here."
Arui touched the porthole, and the core fragments suddenly projected ancient imagery: the progenitor of the War-Pattern race used molten lava to cast the first sym…
