As the Stardust Train crossed the Orion Wall, the Symbiotic Mark on Arui's palm suddenly revealed chaotic patterns—golden bands of light undulated like cosmic microwave background radiation, every ripple corresponding to the fluctuation frequency of the Creation Singularity, yet revealing a shattered Taiji Totem at its core. Ice Drip's algorithmic halo burst into a pure white alert on the starmap: "Origin anomaly detected! At the edge of the observable universe, a 'Hongmeng Civilization' composed of pure creation energy exists, and its original resonance is degrading into disordered singularity foam at a rate of 0.32%."
Outside the porthole, the once-stable cosmic background radiation was twisting into a boiling sea of light. Countless creation singularities shattered like soap bubbles, and the erupting energy currents instantly reduced the stardust into quark soup. Aori's Photon Harp String emitted a roar resembling the Big Bang; the light particles condensing on the strings scattered into cosmic microwaves the moment they touched the Hongmeng turbulence: "They are 'forgetting' their original intent of creation—just like a symphony forgetting its very first note. The symbiotic foundations of all civilizations are losing their original resonance."
Arui touched the mark, and the chaotic patterns suddenly sprouted tendrils, resonating with the Hongmeng rift—her consciousness was dragged into a world made of pure energy: there were no stars or planets here, only a boiling sea …
