Chapter 13 - Chapter 13:Rebirth of Star Remains: Shadow Devouring the Sky

As soon as Ling Shuang's Ice Soul Spider Silk touched Su Ying's shoulder, it was instantly dyed bronze. The nano-scale Star Mark virus eroded along the spider silk in reverse, and ice crystals multiplied into barbs on the surface of the spider silk. "Be careful!" The moment Mo Yan pulled her back, the red lotus pattern had already crawled all over his right arm. Those flame patterns suddenly materialized, projecting a holographic picture on the surface of his skin - in the permafrost cave at the bottom of the Star Ruins, tens of thousands of Snow Shadow Wolf Primitives were gnawing on the remains of the first generation. What's more terrifying is that the same Star Ruins mark as the one on Su Ying's forehead is beating in the eye sockets of each wolf, and their biting rhythm is synchronized with Su Ye's heartbeat.

Su Ye fell to his knees, his spider heart trembling violently in his chest. He saw his blood seeping into the scorched earth, outlining the ancient totem of the Starry Sky Wolf Tomb on the surface. The gray spots on the tail tip of the Snow Shadow Wolf cub suddenly activated and drilled into his wrist veins like nano parasites. Those gray spot particles reorganized in the blood vessels, carving bronze gene chains along the way. "Is this... a reverse contract?" He pressed his twitching arm and found that the monitoring code of the first generation laboratory emerged under his skin.

The ground collapsed with a deafening roar, revealing a thousand-meter-diameter Star Dome Wolf Mound. Tens of thousands of frozen Snow Shadow Wolf Primitives broke out of the ice, their tail tips were all star-blue, but deep in their pupils were dancing the same mark as Su Ying. The Canglang constellation cast twelve beams of light, and quantum afterimages of Su Ye at different ages appeared on the foreheads of each wolf skeleton - the distorted face when the star pattern was implanted in infancy, the energy storm that went berserk when the contract was signed as a teenager, and the dying data stream when the heart was pierced by the first generation.

"This is... the true Starry Sky Contract." Su Ying's fingertips drew an annihilation spell in the air, and the wolves immediately formed a zodiac killing formation. Mo Yan's red lotus fire hit the first row of wolf skeletons, but Su Ye's genetic map appeared on the surface of those biological armors, absorbing all the flame energy and converting it into bronze mucus. When the mucus landed, it formed a star pattern puppet, and each puppet had a miniature spider web heart beating in its chest.

Ling Shuang's Ice Soul Spider King suddenly went berserk, and its eight compound eyes burst out with gamma rays. But when the rays touched the wolf pack, they condensed into a bronze mirror in the air - what was reflected in the mirror was not the current battlefield, but the scene of Madam Red putting the baby into the incubator twenty years ago. Hundreds of embryos were suspended in the culture fluid, each connected to the nerve bundle of the Snow Shadow Wolf. The most horrifying thing was that the gene sequences of all the embryos were mutating in real time, as if they were in some kind of evolutionary competition.

"Use your blood to awaken the last piece of the puzzle." Su Ying raised her hand, and the wolf pack sprayed out star-patterned chains. Mo Yan's right arm was pierced by the chain, and the blood vaporized into star key fragments the moment it left his body. Those fragments flew to the altar in the center of the wolf tomb and pieced together into half of a huge bronze door engraved with the Ω symbol. A "false color" that was neither light nor dark seeped out from the crack of the door, and the space-time structure collapsed like a mosaic wherever it went.

The dying Su Ye suddenly jumped up, and his skeletal left hand grabbed Su Ying's ankle. The quantum howl of the Snow Shadow Wolf burst out from the empty chest, and the sound waves shattered the star pattern connection of the wolf pack. A loud sound of glacier collapse came from the depths of the Star Tomb, and the remains of the first generation broke through the ice - every rib of the gray-white skeleton was engraved with the terms of the contract, and the broken brain tissue of Madam Red was suspended in the eye socket, and the neural network was like a vine wrapped around the cervical vertebrae.

"You forgot... I am the origin of the contract!" The bone claws of the first generation of remains pierced Su Ying's chest, pulling out not the internal organs, but a large stream of bronze data. The wolf pack instantly changed sides, and the star-blue lines turned into chains to entangle Su Ying. Ling Shuang took the opportunity to slap the Ice Soul Spider eggs into Su Ye's chest. The spider silk proliferated wildly at the heart position, and each spider silk carried the pure genes stolen from Xingxu.

"In the name of the Spider King...temporarily replace the star core!" Ling Shuang's pupils split into hexagonal compound eyes, and she saw that the backup of Madam Hong's consciousness was hidden deep in the heart of the spider web. When the spider web took shape, Su Ye's meridians lit up with a faint blue light - those lights were actually nano-scale contract rewriters, overwriting the star pattern code implanted by the first generation. The image of the dying Snow Shadow Wolf cub flashed on his retina, and the whimpering sound waves swallowed by the Star Ruins were being transformed into genetic keys.

Mo Yan suddenly let out an inhuman roar, and the red lotus pattern had spread to his neck. The karmic fire condensed into a red-gold spear in his palm, and the tip of the spear was engraved with the star map coordinates left by his sister's soul power. "Go to the end of the black hole to find the answer..." His sister's last whisper echoed in the flames. He threw the spear through the huge bronze door, and the first generation's screams came from inside the door.

Su Ying turned into a bronze rainstorm in the wolf pack's bites, and every drop of liquid formed a miniature star ruins gate when it landed. Su Ye stood up with the support of the spider web heart, and the star pattern on his fingertips touched the first generation of bones. The contract pattern spread like a living virus, decomposing the bones into a torrent of stardust carrying memory quantum packets.

"This time... the hound will write the contract." Stardust poured into Su Ye's chest, and the spider web heart was dyed star blue. The beating frequency of the new heart was perfectly synchronized with the whimpering of the remaining snow shadow wolves on the battlefield. The Canglang constellation suddenly collapsed into a ball of light and injected into his forehead to form a reverse Mobius star pattern-this topological structure ensures the perpetual cycle of the contract.

Inside the collapsed Star Ruins Gate, the remnant soul of Madam Red was inserting Qian Shisan's mechanical core into the eye socket of the last wolf skeleton. The mechanical eye suddenly came to life, and deep in the pupils scrolled the final chapter of the first generation's notes: [When the container awakens, the owner becomes the sacrifice]. And under Su Ye's feet, Su Ying's blood, which should have dissipated, was seeping into the heart of the spider web - a miniature Star Ruins mark appeared inside each spider silk, like a dormant virus waiting to be activated.

When the first ray of real sunlight pierced the bronze sky, all the star pattern puppets on the battlefield suddenly knelt down collectively. The shadows of snow shadow wolf cubs appeared on their chests, and those shadows were making contract gestures to Su Ye. In the deepest part of the star ruins, the eye sockets of tens of thousands of frozen wolf skeletons lit up with star-blue purifying light at the same time.

The mechanical wolf skeleton controlled by Madam Red tore through the clouds, and the bronze armor reflected a cold metallic luster in the sunlight. Qian Shisan's mechanical core rotated at high speed in its eye sockets, and every rotation ejected a mucus shell made of ancient jade and circuit boards. These mucus split into hundreds of tracking warheads in mid-air, and when they landed, they exploded not with fire, but with bronze data viruses. The infected soil crystallized instantly, growing star-patterned spikes, each of which twisted like a living thing, and the tip sprayed corrosive mist.

The spider web heart in Su Ye's chest suddenly spasmed, and a wisp of bronze blood seeped into the blue and gold veins. He staggered to one knee, and the spider silk bulged under his skin like a live earthworm, and the end of each silk thread was connected to the clone's nerve signal. He could clearly feel that the clone's consciousness was eroding him through the polluted blood - those cold electronic pulses were mixed with the whimpering of the Snow Shadow Wolf cub and the crazy laughter of Madam Red.

"There are... 3 hours left." He bit his tongue, and the severe pain temporarily suppressed the twitching of his heart. The countdown numbers on the retina twisted into the monitoring code of the first generation laboratory in the blood: [Host fusion rate 71%...Gene lock is being released...]

Ling Shuang's Ice Soul Spider Emperor sensed the danger, and its eight compound eyes simultaneously emitted aurora. The gamma ray beams intertwined in the air to form a honeycomb defense network, but were shattered by the bronze tail whip of the mechanical wolf skeleton. The star pattern on the surface of the tail whip absorbed the ray energy and multiplied more mucus shells. "Coordinate E7!" Mo Yan roared, the red lotus pattern had spread to his neck, and the phoenix formed by the fire of karma had a broken wing. The tactical eyepiece implanted in his right eye showed that the energy core of the mechanical wolf skeleton was hidden in the quantum chip set on its third rib - the shape of the chip was exactly the same as the star crystal in Su Ye's heart.

The chest armor of the mechanical wolf skeleton exploded, revealing the fused brains of Madam Hong and Qian Shisan. Ancient jade light and bioelectricity flowed in its grooves, and the neural network was wrapped around the mechanical spine like a glowing vine. The slime shells exploded as soon as they hit the ground, and semi-mechanized Snow Shadow Wolf clones crawled out of the deep pits created - their metal claws dripped bronze slime, and their tails pointed at Su Ye's heart at the same time, forming a quantum resonance field.

"Father... we should be alive..." The clones said in unison, and the fragments of the Star Key on their foreheads formed a complete Ω door. Data tentacles stretched out from the door and wrapped around Ling Shuang's spider web heart. Her pupils suddenly dilated, and the Ice Soul Spider Silk wrapped around Su Ye's limbs: "It is absorbing the data of the clones... I can't control it!" Fragments of Madam Hong's memory emerged on the surface of the spider silk - twenty years ago, she incubated hundreds of Su Ye embryos in the culture chamber at the same time, and the gene chain of each embryo was embedded with different Snow Shadow Wolf gene fragments. In the picture, Madam Hong's fingers flew on the virtual keyboard, and the light screen showed the progress bar of the [Star Corpse Rebirth Plan].

Mo Yan's red lotus pattern suddenly burst into flames, and the flames climbed up his skull along his spine. In the flames, he saw his sister's shadow being swallowed by the door, and the red-gold spear condensed from his palm: "Hold on! Their core is..." Before he finished speaking, the quantum chipset of the mechanical wolf skeleton suddenly overloaded and released an EMP shock wave. All electronic equipment was instantly paralyzed, and Ling Shuang's Ice Soul Spider King went out of control and ran wild due to the broken neural connection, and the eight spider legs indiscriminately attacked everything around.
