"You..." Xing Hen was about to say something, but he found that his throat felt as if it were blocked by something, rendering him unable to make any sound.
It felt like getting a fish bone stuck in his throat while eating, wanting to scream for help but unable to do so—truly the ultimate experience of social death!
The external shadow didn’t care about any of this; it suddenly seemed to go into a frenzy, grabbing a piece of the glowing Sandglass Fragment without hesitation and lunging directly at the Ancestral Core's "shining" heart!
"What the hell! What is going on?!" Xing Hen thought frantically, this plot was just too cliché!
It was even more thrilling than an evening soap opera!
He felt as if his worldview was about to shatter!
"Hehehe... Want to end the Witch Clan's Reincarnation? It's not that easy!" The external shadow laughed maniacally, its voice hoarse as it spoke, "We must ensure that the Witch Clan completely rebirths at the moment the Umbilical Cord is severed!"
Its voice was rough and grating, like sandpaper scraping against wood, sending chills down one's spine.
That smile was more unsettling than a doll from a horror movie, making one want to punch it and let it experience the harshness of reality.
Just then, something even more bizarre happened!
The Starry Chain that had been entwined around the Witch's staff suddenly tightened as if receiving some mysterious command!
Like a hungry python, it swiftly wrapped around the Sunlight Star Cocoon Heart!
The Star Cocoon Heart, which had been radiating a gentle glow, began to throb violently under the constriction of the Starry Chain. Each pulse came with a heart-stopping "thump," as if it were about to explode at any moment!
Xing Hen felt his own heart racing in sync with it; he could even feel his hair standing on end!
It felt like riding a roller coaster and suddenly realizing that the safety belt had come loose—the sense of being on the brink of disaster made him want to collapse right there!
"This... Is this some kind of 'heartbeat' game?!" Xing Hen lamented internally, feeling as though he was about to suffocate!
Before he could recover from this "heartbeat" thrill, something even more horrifying occurred!
The previously unassuming Robe Fragment on Xing Hen suddenly seemed infused with life, expanding dramatically like a giant bat wing and enveloping Xiao Meng's back in an instant!
"Ah!" Xiao Meng screamed in shock at this sudden change; she felt as if her back were pressed against a cold iron plate, sending chills through her bones!
"The Witch's staff... requires the backlash of the Twin Bloodline..." A deep and hoarse voice emanated from the Robe Fragment, echoing as if from ancient times, filled with mystery and eeriness.
This voice was scarier than any sound effect from a horror film!
Xiao Meng felt her hair stand on end; she could even feel her teeth chattering in fear!
Before she could react, Starlight Baby's originally pure eyes transformed into eerie snake-like slits!
"Hissss..."
Two identical hissing sounds emerged from Starlight Baby's mouth, like venomous snakes flicking their tongues, filled with coldness and malice!
This sound was more unbearable than nails scraping against a chalkboard!
Xiao Meng felt as though her eardrums were about to burst!
"Bang!"
In the midst of the howling of the Starlight Baby, the Robe Fragment shattered instantly, transforming into countless tiny shards that scattered everywhere!
Xiao Meng felt as if her back was being sliced by numerous small knives, a fiery pain coursing through her! She couldn't help but gasp, feeling as though she was about to faint!
At that moment, something even more horrifying occurred! The Witch's already weak and fragmented soul suddenly surged with energy, bursting forth from the staff like it had been injected with adrenaline! Her twisted and deformed face became even more grotesque, resembling a demon crawling out of hell!
“Ahhh!” The Witch let out a piercing scream, a sound more grating than that of a slaughtered pig!
Then, an even more chilling event unfolded! From the already cracking Umbilical Cord of the Starlight Baby, three hundred pitch-black Bone Flutes suddenly shot out! Each Bone Flute emitted a nauseating stench, as if they had been dug out from decaying corpses!
“The son of the True Priestess... must consume the essence of the Starry Marriage Contract...” the Witch rasped, her voice rough and grating like sandpaper.
“Consume... consume?” Xing Hen's voice trembled; he felt on the brink of collapse.
“Indeed, only by consuming can one obtain the true...” Before the Witch could finish her sentence, her fragmented soul trembled violently.
Xing Hen felt as if he were in a large horror film set, one that was an intense version with no dull moments! All he wanted to do was shout, “Director! Can I please opt out of this script?!”
Just as he was internally ranting, another bizarre occurrence happened with Xiao Meng.
He saw that on her originally fair neck, the three birthmarks representing her triple identities—the Xing Wen of the Ancient Priestess, the circuitry of the Future Scientist, and the crown of the Otherworldly Princess—began to rotate in reverse with an eerie rhythm.
“Oh no! Is this a transformation?!” Xing Hen's eyes widened in fear of missing any detail. He felt like an audience member glued to a cinema screen, terrified of missing any thrilling moment.
Suddenly, that Star Pattern Lock Core seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force and shot up from her chest like an arrow released from a bow, piercing fiercely towards Xiao Meng's throat!
“Thud!”
With a muffled sound, blood instantly stained Xiao Meng's clothes crimson. She clutched her throat in agony, trying to stop the flow of blood but to no avail.
“Blood... blood...” Xiao Meng's voice became intermittent due to pain; she felt her life slipping away bit by bit.
“The Bloodline Loop must be completed through the Dual Womb...” The Star Pattern Lock Core emitted a cold and mechanical voice, sounding like a proclamation from hell.
Xing Hen felt his brain freeze instantly, completely unable to comprehend this statement. What was this Bloodline Loop? What was this Dual Womb?
What is going on here?! It's even harder to understand than advanced calculus!
While Xing Hen was still trying to digest this "heavenly book," something astonishing was happening with the plugin's residual shadow. The hourglass in his hand suddenly began to shake violently, countless tiny grains of sand splattering out and gathering in the air to form a blurry outline.
Then, the grains quickly reassembled, transforming into a lifelike infant form!
"What?!" Xing Hen felt his worldview being shattered once again. This Old Grandpa Plugin really knew how to play! It could even pull off a "transformation" like this?!
"Hehehe... now it's time to initiate reverse childbirth..." The plugin's residual shadow let out a maniacal laugh, and Xing Hen felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest. He had an ominous premonition that something even more terrifying was about to happen.
However, before the plugin's residual shadow could complete its "reverse childbirth," something even stranger occurred! The umbilical cord that had been wrapped around Starlight Baby suddenly seemed to come alive, twisting wildly. It was no longer the soft and fragile state it once was; instead, it transformed into a dark and evil Star Abyss Serpent Totem, exuding a nauseating stench.
The totem resembled a venomous snake that preyed on its victims, lunging at Xiao Meng with lightning speed and coiling around her neck!
Xiao Meng felt as if her neck were being gripped by a cold, hard hand, making it difficult to breathe. She struggled desperately to free herself from the Star Abyss Serpent Totem's grasp, but it was futile.
The Star Abyss Serpent Totem emitted a chilling hiss, tightening its grip even more, causing Xiao Meng's face to grow increasingly pale.
Xing Hen watched this despairing scene unfold before him, feeling as if his blood were turning to ice. He wanted to rush over and save Xiao Meng but found his body pinned to the ground, unable to move at all.
Just as Xiao Meng was on the verge of suffocation, a brilliant light suddenly erupted from her chest. Following that, Wu Tong's compass began to shake violently, countless tiny cracks appearing on its surface like a mirror about to shatter.
"Twin Bloodline... reversal..." the remnants of the Witch's soul let out one last scream.
Suddenly, with a sharp "Ka Cha," Wu Tong's compass split apart, transforming into countless crystalline Starry Tears that scattered and flew away...
The plugin's residual shadow gazed vacantly at the Starry Tears, murmuring to itself: "It has finally begun..."
