In Xiao Meng's pupils, the ancient hourglass tattoo seemed to come alive, coiling around her retina like a greedy snake, consuming her sanity. She felt as if she were trapped in a swirling time tunnel, with countless bizarre images flashing before her eyes—ancient altars, futuristic laboratories, castles from other worlds... These were her own, yet utterly unfamiliar Memory Fragments.
“Meng Meng, what’s wrong?!” Sunshine's voice was close at hand, filled with evident urgency, yet it felt as if it were separated by a thick layer of glass, unable to reach Xiao Meng's ears clearly. She wanted to respond but found her throat blocked as if something were choking her, rendering her voiceless.
Suddenly, a piercing shriek shattered the chaos in Xiao Meng's mind. The sound seemed to emanate from the depths of the distant starry sky, exploding right beside her ear and sending shivers down her spine.
“Jie jie jie... Finally... finally it will be completed!” A manic voice echoed in Xiao Meng's mind; it was sometimes childish, sometimes ancient, sometimes frenzied—indeed, it was the long-lost Old Grandpa Plugin! No, more accurately, it was the reassembled consciousness fragments of the hourglass!
Xiao Meng's body began to tremble uncontrollably as the Starlight Energy within her seemed to respond to some call, surging wildly toward her heart. Soon after, an ethereal outline of an hourglass appeared before her chest, radiating an eerie glow.
“To grant the Witch Clan eternal life within the tattoo... Jie jie jie... this is true immortality!” The voice of the plugin grew increasingly deranged as the illusory hourglass outline became clearer and ultimately transformed into a blood-red beam of light that violently pierced Xiao Meng's heart!
“Puh!” Xiao Meng spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if her internal organs were being twisted together in agony, nearly causing her to faint. She wanted to struggle but realized she had completely lost control of her body, helplessly watching as the blood-red light formed a grotesque tattoo on her chest—a hideous centipede coiling around her skin.
But that wasn’t all! Just when Xiao Meng thought she was about to meet her end, an even colder aura erupted from Xing Jian. Countless tiny cracks spread across its surface as if something terrifying was about to break free.
“Jie jie jie... Bloodline Loop... Dual Womb... is the true key!” A hoarse and sharp voice rang out like nails scraping against glass. Following that, a gaunt figure emerged from Xing Jian.
It was a withered old woman clad in tattered Miko Robes, her face covered in wrinkles like weathered bark. Her eyes were murky and cold, resembling two pools of stagnant water that sent chills down one’s spine.
This... this is the Witch's Remnant Soul! A thought flashed through Xiao Meng's mind as she finally understood Black-hearted Grandpa's scheme. He wasn't trying to cultivate any genius children; he aimed to use these children with special bloodlines to resurrect the Witch Clan!
As soon as the Witch's Remnant Soul appeared, its gaze locked onto Xiao Meng. Her eyes were greedy and frenzied as if she had spotted an unparalleled treasure.
“Jie jie jie... A perfect vessel... First Generation Witch's Bloodline... finally found!” The Witch's Remnant Soul cackled wickedly and reached out with its bony claws toward Xiao Meng. Its target was none other than Xiao Meng’s womb!
At that critical moment, the Starlight Babies suddenly let out deafening roars filled with rage and hatred as if they intended to tear apart space itself.
“Ah ah ah ah ah—!!!” Countless youthful voices converged into a terrifying wave that crashed violently against the Witch's Remnant Soul.
The Witch's Remnant Soul froze instantly; the smile on her face turned into disbelief as she looked at the Starlight Babies. “No... impossible... how could you...”
Before she could finish speaking, her body began to crumble inch by inch into countless tiny fragments before vanishing into thin air.
With the Witch's Remnant Soul dealt with, the Starlight Babies did not cease their roaring; their gazes turned back toward Xiao Meng filled with compassion, expectation, fear, and a hint of... reverence?
Xiao Meng felt utterly exposed, as if her clothes had been stripped away, leaving all her secrets laid bare before the Starlight Babies. Suddenly, she sensed a change within her body once more. The Triple Birthmark on her chest, back, and arms began to heat up; what had once been faint traces now darkened and sharpened as if ink were being injected into them. Eventually, the Triple Birthmark transformed into the shape of an hourglass.
"The bloodline of the First Generation Priestess... must devour the Witch Clan..." A chilling voice echoed in Xiao Meng's mind, a voice that did not belong to her or Old Grandpa Plugin but rather emanated from deep within her bloodline, as if an ancient will that had slumbered for millennia had awakened.
In that instant, the Star Pattern Lock Core on Xiao Meng's chest erupted with dazzling light. Golden Chains shot forth from the Lock Core, piercing fiercely into the Ancestral Core.
"Ka Cha—"
A crisp sound of breaking resonated, as if something had been utterly destroyed. Everything fell silent. The Starlight Babies ceased their howling, their gazes vacant as if they had lost their souls. The Witch's Remnant Soul vanished completely, leaving only a faint metallic scent in the air.
Xiao Meng's body collapsed weakly to the ground; she felt as though she had endured a long nightmare and was utterly exhausted. Sunshine rushed over and held her in his arms, his voice trembling with concern. "Mengmeng, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Xiao Meng weakly shook her head. She wanted to say something but found her throat painfully dry. Sunshine carefully propped her up against his shoulder and looked around, only to see that all the Starlight Babies stood motionless, as if turned to stone.
"What happened to them?" Sunshine's voice was filled with unease.
Just then, a faint voice broke through: "That is..."
It was Xiao Meng speaking; her voice was weak and hoarse but carried an undeniable shock. Sunshine quickly followed her gaze and saw a cluster of Xing Hen's Robe Fragments slowly reassembling...
Those Xing Hen Robe Fragments seemed drawn together like iron filings to a magnet, or like pieces of a puzzle entering automatic mode, swiftly coming together with a "swish swish swish." Sunshine watched in awe, wondering what kind of high technology this was.
An automatic sewing machine? Or perhaps 3D printing technology? Too bad he couldn't post it on social media; otherwise, he would definitely receive a flood of "666" comments!
In the blink of an eye, the fragments completed their assembly—or rather, their reorganization—transforming into... a mirror?
Indeed, it was a mirror—an antique one with a frame intricately carved with strange patterns. The surface gleamed like water, reflecting the faces of Xiao Meng and Sunshine, along with those petrified Starlight Babies behind them—and then...
"Hey? What is this?" Sunshine pointed at the suddenly appearing image in the mirror, looking utterly bewildered.
In the mirror, it was no longer their reflections but rather a scene—a sort of old-fashioned family drama mixed with elements of science fiction.
In the image stood a woman dressed in luxurious priestess robes, cradling a wailing infant before a massive hourglass. This hourglass was larger and more bizarre than any Xiao Meng had ever seen. The sand within it was not golden but blood-red, flowing like fresh blood and sending chills down one's spine.
"The son of the True Priestess... must consume the Time-Space Loop..." The priestess murmured, her voice echoing from afar yet resonating deep within one's soul with an indescribable magic.
She stepped closer to the hourglass with the baby in her arms. The infant's cries grew louder as if sensing some impending horror.
Sunshine felt a pang in her heart and couldn't help but comment, "This mother is too cruel! What is she trying to do? A sacrifice? This is her own flesh and blood!"
Just then, an unexpected change occurred!
"Whoosh—"
A Bone Flute shot through the air like an arrow from the depths of hell, piercing the atmosphere with a sharp whistle and striking the center of the mirror!
"Ka Cha!"
The mirror instantly became covered in cracks, spreading rapidly like a spider's web.
The image within twisted and shattered, ultimately vanishing from sight.
The hourglass tattoo of Old Grandpa Plugin, which had been quietly "lying dead," suddenly exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the hourglass tattoo transformed into countless tiny stars, bursting forth in the air like fireworks.
Each star seemed like a small life, twinkling with dazzling brilliance.
"Now... it must end... a millennium of Reincarnation..."
A fragmented voice emerged from the starlight, resembling the last words of a dying person or the initiation of some ancient incantation, carrying an inexplicable sense of sorrow and determination.
Sunshine and Xiao Meng were both stunned; they had no idea what was happening and could only watch this "starry spectacle" unfold before them.
However, just as the "fireworks" were about to extinguish, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from Wu Tong's body, like a malevolent spirit crawling out from the depths of hell!
That shadow was none other than the remnant soul of the Witch!
She twisted and roared like a burning black flame, exuding a nauseating stench.
Her eyes—no, they should be called two black holes—fixed intently on Xiao Meng, as if she wanted to swallow her whole.
Then, several crystalline tears flew out from the shadow.
These were not ordinary tears; they sparkled with an eerie Starshine, known as Starry Tears!
They shot toward Xiao Meng's back at lightning speed, as if they had eyes of their own!
"Watch out!" Sunshine exclaimed in alarm. She wanted to intervene but was already too late.
The shadow let out a sinister laugh, like a demon whose scheme had succeeded.
Its voice was hoarse and sharp, grating against the ears like sandpaper on glass: "Little girl, your body..."
