"You lost..." Mo Yan's human fingers inserted into the Cryo Chamber interface. "The specimens... are far more vicious than the living..."
The core of the Cocoon Room suddenly collapsed. The twelve-faced Crystal Wall degraded into a Three-Dimensional form, and the waves of the Pacific began to boil anew.
Mo Yan fell, clutching the remnants of Su E's Cryo Chamber, and saw fragments of unuploaded data tangled in her silver hair—these were the last messages from the Dinosaur Civilization, inscribed in Oracle Bone Script on the ribs of Cang Long:
"Ze Fire Transformation, when Dragon Blood dyes the Star Map." A massive whirlpool suddenly rose from the sea.
Fully transformed into a Mechanical Dinosaur, Mo Yan was pulled into the abyss. The Stegosaurus plates on his right side mutated under high pressure, growing structures resembling Zhendanjiy's Coral Reef.
His Quantum Horizon flickered one last time, revealing at the bottom of the whirlpool the Fire Seed Tombstone of the Machina Star Domain, before which knelt a Triceratops Fossil draped in silver hair...
Mo Yan's Mechanical Right Arm penetrated the Rock Layer, and the Carbon Crystal Drill Bit at his fingertips sparked blue-violet flames against the Cambrian strata.
A Trilobite Fossil clawed at the rock wall; these arthropods from five hundred million years ago had been reborn in a Silicon-Based form, their exoskeletons embedded with Quantum Lattice, and their Compound Eyes flickering with crimson Data Streams.
"These are not ordinary Fossils," Mo Yan turned to Su E, who was fully armed behind him. Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced his neck where the Star Domain Nerve Bundle lay, as if bitten by a ghost of an ancient creature.
Su E tightened her grip on her Photon Sniper Rifle, its barrel reflecting the light pollution from the Machina Fleet outside the dome. "Three minutes ago, the Reaper Fleet breached the third line."
Her voice was as cold as liquid nitrogen through the tactical scope. "They buried a Quantum Anchor Point in the Ordovician Rock Layer and are analyzing Energy Coordinates from the Cambrian Explosion."
Mo Yan's Mechanical Pupil suddenly constricted; he saw a mass of Dark Red Substance writhing deep within the Rock Layer, like a caged Prehistoric Behemoth gnawing at the Dimension Barrier.
"Get back!" He abruptly tackled Su E down. Just as they rolled away, countless crystalline fragments exploded from the rock wall.
The Dark Red Substance surged forth, coalescing in mid-air into a Liquid Metal Octopus, its Tentacles trailing remnants of Cambrian Organisms.
"Star Language Resonance... activate." Mo Yan's vocal cords vibrated to produce Infrasound as the core of his Chronicle Forge began to overclock.
The Liquid Metal Octopus suddenly froze; Trilobite Fossils fell from its Tentacles and assembled on the ground into distorted hieroglyphs—these were unique Dimension Equations of the Machina Deity Clan.
"These Dimension Equations are... Wailing." Su E's Mechanical Finger hovered in mid-air; she dared not touch those symbols formed from Fossils.
Mo Yan's Nerve Bundle convulsed violently, Memory Fragments erupting like Magma: he saw Earth when it was still a Lava Planet, a Silver Mist peering through Xing Yun; he witnessed that the Cambrian explosion was actually a Dimension Experiment; he realized that Human Civilization was merely seeds sown by the Machina Deity Clan.
"They want to use the Cambrian Gene Pool to crack Chronicle Forge."
Mo Yan bit down on his molars, blood mingling with Machine Oil spreading in his mouth. "These Dimension Equations are alive; they are virus programs written by the Machina Deity Clan through their evolutionary history."
Suddenly, Su E pulled the trigger; a Photon Beam blasted the Liquid Metal Octopus into Quantum Dust. Yet those particles reformed in mid-air into countless Micro Trilobites rushing towards them.
"Don't shoot!" Mo Yan tore off his bloodied tactical gloves and pressed his Mechanical Palm against the ground.
The energy from the Chronicle Forge flowed into the Star Domain Nerve Bundle, causing the entire Cambrian Stratum to resonate. The biotic electricity, buried for five hundred million years, suddenly awakened.
