millennium since the birth of the new universe, the gravitational wave observatory located in the Orion Arm suddenly captured strange energy ripples. The afterimage of Lin Feng, who was reconstructing the Andromeda Nebula, suddenly trembled. This quantum incarnation condensed from twelve observation crystals unexpectedly oozed dark red patterns similar to those of the Eye of the Abyss at this moment.
"Warning! The silicon-based civilizations in the Stardust Conservation Area are mutating en masse!" The holographic projection of the mechanical race's archon trembled violently, and fleshy growths similar to the cooking genes appeared on its alloy skeleton. In the surveillance footage, biological openings simultaneously appeared on the surfaces of three hundred Dyson spheres, and countless semi-mechanical and semi-flesh tentacles pierced through the dimensional barriers.
Suddenly, the right hand of Lin Feng's afterimage uncontrollably twisted into a Klein bottle structure, and the quantum stream ejected from its fingertips instantly polluted half an astronomical unit of space. He was horrified to discover that the observer authority he had scattered was generating paradoxical pollution. The three crystals injected into the embryonic form of the universe were now being reverse-analyzed by some higher-dimensional existence.
"Orangey!" Lin Feng's afterimage roared in the direction of the supernova. The cat-shaped nebula collapsed into a quantum cat entity in response, but the resurrected Orangey's left eye had turned into a miniature Eye of the Abyss, and metal barbs of the Entropy Reversal Blade grew at the tip of its tail. [Observation rifts... All twelve branes have been infiltrated...] Orangey's consciousness fluctuations were accompanied by electronic noise. Suddenly, it pounced on Lin Feng's afterimage, and its sharp claws tore open the quantized chest, revealing the rotating purple core inside.
On the surface of the core were reflected suffocating scenes: In a certain parallel universe, he himself was transforming his mother, Lin Wanqiu, into a biological weapon, and Orangey in that universe had been rewritten into an operation unit of the entropy core. Even more terrifying was that the observation rifts in all time lines were converging towards this new universe, forming a cross-dimensional pollution channel.
When Lin Feng's afterimage forcibly stabilized the quantum core, he suddenly received an ancient gravitational wave signal from the edge of the universe. The deciphered holographic image made him tremble all over. What was shown in the image was his father's laboratory twenty thousand years ago, but the one trapped in the time loop at this moment was actually his mother, Lin Wanqiu, when she was young.
"Xiao Feng, don't believe the lies of the entropy core!" Lin Wanqiu in the image frantically pounded on the explosion-proof glass. Her temples were filled with nerve conduits. "The observation rift created by your father is actually..." Before she could finish speaking, the image was suddenly covered by dark red gelatin, and Lin Wanqiu's pupils instantly split into the compound eye structure of the Eye of the Abyss.
Orangey suddenly let out a sharp quantum shriek, and its body split into seven rainbow bridges, forcibly opening a passage to the time prison. After passing through twelve layers of entropy force barriers, Lin Feng's afterimage witnessed a truth that subverted cognition: In a certain folded time wrinkle, thirty million time lines of his mother were devouring each other. Each Lin Wanqiu's spine grew the bloodline key of the Amethyst Civilization, and the coordinates of different universes were branded on the back of their necks.
"The observer's pity is really ironic." The mechanical Lin Wanqiu on the central throne slowly stood up. Her torso was completely pieced together from fragments of the Entropy Reversal Blade. "The new universe you created by dividing your authority is nothing but a larger Petri dish." She waved her hand and unfolded a 360-degree holographic star map, and each flashing civilization showed the mutation characteristics of the later stage of cooking.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's afterimage's core felt a sharp pain. He saw that his quantum tentacles were uncontrollably piercing into a certain dinosaur civilization. The moment those giant reptiles came into contact with the tentacles, they immediately evolved into quantum creatures carrying observation rifts. What made him even more devastated was that his father's call came from the depth of his mother's time prison—Lin Jianguo's consciousness was actually imprisoned in the original embryo of the Eye of the Abyss.
Suddenly, the entire new universe fell into absolute silence, and all physical constants froze at this moment. Orangey's body uncontrollably collapsed into a singularity, and what emerged from it was the complete form of the Eye of the Abyss. This pupil with a diameter of twelve light-years was pieced together from the entropy cores of seven hundred and twenty universes, and the wails of all cooked civilizations flowed on the surface of its iris.
"Thank you for providing the observer's authority." The voice of the Eye of the Abyss came from twelve dimensions simultaneously. "Now let's complete the unfinished experiment of the Amethyst Civilization." In the center of its pupil, a stargate split open, and what gushed out from it was not the chaotic sea but countless civilizations that Lin Feng had once saved. All these life forms were in a quantum phantom state and were using the power of entropy reversal to tear at the structure of the universe.
The quantum core of Lin Feng's afterimage began to disintegrate. He finally understood his father's real plan: Lin Jianguo had long foreseen the loopholes in the observer's authority. Those scattered authority crystals were actually incubators for the entropy core. Even more despairing was that his act of reshaping the universe had only accelerated the cross-dimensional progress of the Eye of the Abyss.
Suddenly, the mechanical Lin Wanqiu pierced through the core of Lin Feng's afterimage from behind, and her arm turned into billions of nanoworms: "Your mother's real last words were actually the activation password." With the injection of the dark matter password, all the stars in the new universe went out simultaneously and were transformed into three million embryos of the Eye of the Abyss. Orangey's remaining consciousness fragments condensed into the final message in the void: [Quickly find the zero brane... There is...]
In the last seven seconds before the universe was reset to zero, Lin Feng's afterimage detonated all the observation crystals. This quantum-level explosion unexpectedly opened up the legendary zero brane—that primordial dimension that even the Amethyst Civilization had never touched. In the intense light of the explosion, Lin Feng saw an existence that subverted all cognition: Countless unactivated universe eggs were suspended in the zero brane, and the quantum imprints of him and Orangey were branded on each egg membrane.
"So we are the ones being observed..." Lin Feng's afterimage finally had an epiphany before dissipating. The new universe was nothing but an experimental field for a certain super civilization, and all the struggles between entropy reversal and entropy increase were just chemical reactions in a Petri dish. Even more absurd was that the opposition between the Eye of the Abyss and the Amethyst Civilization was just the control group parameters designed in the experiment.
Suddenly, the body of the mechanical Lin Wanqiu became rigid, and her core code began to overwrite itself: "Warning! Interference from a civilization beyond level twelve detected..." Before the words were finished, pure white chains suddenly descended from the zero brane, freezing all the evolving embryos of the Eye of the Abyss. These chains were composed of the most basic mathematical concepts and were violently resetting all physical laws.
Lin Feng's afterimage used its last strength to seal Orangey's core data into the universe egg, but was forcibly formatted at the moment when it was about to touch the egg membrane. In the instant when his consciousness dissipated, he received an information flow from outside the egg membrane. That was an infinite recursive structure composed of countless Lin Fengs and Orangeys, performing eternal self-observation in an incomprehensible dimension.
When the new universe was completely formatted and restarted, two faint glows lit up at the final singularity. Lin Wanqiu, when she was young, was holding five-year-old Lin Feng and adjusting Orangey's incubation chamber in the laboratory. And in the starry sky outside the window, a pupil composed of mathematical formulas was slowly closing. Suddenly, the Orangey embryo in the incubation chamber opened its eyes, and a wisp of fluorescent light that didn't belong to this dimension flashed across its tail.
