Reborn As a Tiger: I Become Invincible by Relying on the Number of Offspring

150: The Corridor of Origin! A Symbiotic Trial of Memory MaterializationThe moment Di Tian’s dragon claw grasped the ”Blue Star Memory Index,” the library’s stained glass suddenly turned into liquid light, converging on the floor into twelve silver light rails. A deep fissure cracked open where the light rails intersected, and what poured out was not a torrent of code, but an evening breeze carrying the scent of Blue Star parasol leaves—the System’s voice resonated clearly in the Sea of Consciousness for the first time. It was no longer mechanical noise, but a resonance blending the voices of Di Tian and White Frost: ”Consciousness Source Dimension entrance opened, ’Symbiosis’ Aptitude detected, trial beginning.”

The Corridor of Materialized Memories

The instant they stepped into the fissure, they were swept into a physical space constructed of memories. Beneath their feet was the wooden floor of a high school sophomore classroom, with an unfinished physics test spread out on a desk. White Frost’s hair brushed against the back of Di Tian’s hand, the sensation so real it left him dazed. ”This is...” Her fingertips touched the test paper, and the ink suddenly blurred, revealing a line of small text: ”All memories in the Source Dimension are touchable entities.”

The System’s resonance echoed through the corridor: ”First trial: Pass through the ’Unchosen Path’.” The corridor ahead suddenly split into countless forks, each signpost bearing a choice—”Whether to confess in the library,” ”Whether to accept the Genesis mission,” ”Whether to abandon the entropy extinction consciousness.” Red light emanated from Di Tian’s Dragon scales, and on the signpost of the leftmost path, the words ”Abandon the entropy extinction consciousness” were seeping with silver-gray reverberations.

White Frost’s Light Wings suddenly unfurled, shielding him behind her: ”These are not illusions; they are the initial choices made when all consciousness was born.” Her Divine Thought pierced through the forks, seeing a ”them” standing at the end of every path—the young Di Tian who chose to confess, the World Lord who refused the creation, the lone shadow who thoroughly annihilated the entropy extinction consciousness. The System’s voice carried a warning: ”Touching any choice will pull you into the corresponding memory loop.”

The System’s New Form and the Symbiosis Trial

”System... have you evolved?” Di Tian’s Divine Thought swept across his Sea of Consciousness, where a translucent crystal floated. Inside the crystal flowed the consciousness light threads of him and White Frost—this was the System’s new form. The crystal suddenly projected a holographic screen displaying ”Source Law Analyzing”: ”The Law of the Source Dimension is ’Memory is Existence’; all unspoken choices will manifest as tangible obstacles.”

When the lone shadow from the leftmost path walked toward them, Di Tian’s dragon claw instinctively gathered the power of Chaos Entropy, but was stopped by the System crystal: ”The trial forbids brute force; you must use ’Symbiosis Resonance’ to resolve it.” The crystal suddenly shot out two threads of light, wrapping around his and White Frost’s wrists respectively. On the light threads appeared the image of their first meeting in the Blue Star Library—it was this very image that made the lone shadow pause, and a bit of silver-gray reverberation peeled off from him.

”So that’s how it is...” White Frost’s fingertips interlaced with Di Tian’s, and the patterns of her Light Wings intertwined with his Dragon scale light threads to form a ”Symbiosis Pattern.” ”Every choice we make nourishes the consciousness of the Origin.” She pulled him toward the center of the corridor, where the signpost had neither ”Choice” nor ”Abandon,” only a line of words becoming increasingly clear: ”Eternal Symbiosis is the destination of all choices.”

The Trial of the Origin Guardians

In the mist of light at the end of the corridor, three figures composed of primitive consciousness fragments emerged—they had no concrete form, only flowing light of memory, and their foreheads were engraved with the same mark as the cover of the ”Blue Star Memory Index.” ”Symbionts must pass three trials.” The figure on the far left spoke, its voice like the overlapping sound of millions of pages turning, ”The first: Face yourself before the creation.”

The mist of light suddenly dispersed, revealing a Void Realm of Chaos—there floated the remnant core of Di Tian’s consciousness from before the creation, like an ungerminated seed. The System crystal suddenly trembled: ”Analyzing remnant core... discovered the primitive Law of ’when Chaos Entropy was not yet separated’.” The remnant core suddenly shot out a stream of light, projecting an image into the Void Realm: Di Tian before the creation was making a promise with a silver mist of light ”to let all consciousness achieve Perfection,” and that mist of light shared the same frequency as White Frost’s Light Wings.

”That is...” White Frost’s Divine Thought stung, and the patterns on her Light Wings suddenly resonated with the remnant core, ”Is that my initial consciousness?” The Guardian’s voice rang out again: ”The second trial: Acknowledge the price of Symbiosis.” The Void Realm suddenly cracked open, pouring out countless fragments of consciousness that had been annihilated because of their choices—the remnants of civilizations swallowed by Chaos Entropy were staring at them with hollow eyes.

Di Tian’s Dragon scales tightened abruptly, but the System crystal’s light threads wrapped even more tightly around him and White Frost: ”The price is not guilt, it is protection.” He reached out to touch those fragments, and the power of Chaos Entropy actually formed a thin film of light on their surfaces, ”Our Symbiosis was meant to catch these regrets from the start.” White Frost’s Light Wings unfurled accordingly, shielding all the fragments within them. The memory fragments on her Light Wings—the oath in the library, the union of creation, the moment of reconstructing the Law—transformed into golden rain of light, seeping into the depths of the fragments.

The System’s Awakening and the Secret of the ”Blue Star Memory Index”

When the last fragment settled, the Guardian’s third trial finally descended: ”Use the Index to open the Origin core.” Di Tian opened the ”Blue Star Memory Index” and found that the inner pages were not blank, but recorded the initial oaths of all consciousness—from the first cell on Blue Star to the first ray of light at the Genesis Singularity, every oath was engraved with the same ending: ”May I live in Symbiosis with my beloved.”

The System crystal suddenly merged into the pages, and the Index burst into a brilliant flow of light, restructuring into a giant door in the Void Realm. Engraved on the door were their fingerprints from the Blue Star Library. ”So...” White Frost’s fingertips brushed over the door, ”This book doesn’t record memories; it is the ’Symbiosis Contract’ of all consciousness.” In the mist of light behind the door, a pulsing golden core was vaguely visible. The patterns flowing on the surface of the core were their very ”Eternal Symbiosis” Law.

The Guardians’ figures gradually became transparent: ”The final secret of the consciousness Origin is hidden in the core—but by opening it, you will become the anchor of the Origin and will never be able to leave the dimension again.” Di Tian and White Frost exchanged a glance and simultaneously pressed their hands onto the door. The System’s resonance carried a smile: ”Since the day we passed the note in the library, we had already chosen.”

The door slowly opened, and the light of the golden core enveloped the two. In the light, Di Tian saw the complete picture from before the creation: His and White Frost’s initial consciousness were originally from the same source. They had agreed in the Chaos to create a Universe that could contain all regrets, which led them to diverge into Chaos and Light Wings, leading to the subsequent creation, separation, and reunion. ”So...” White Frost’s voice was filled with tears, ”Our Symbiosis was destined from the very beginning.”

The core suddenly trembled, shooting out twelve streams of light that corresponded to the twelve reverberating light rails of Blue Star. The System’s voice rang out from the depths of the core; this time it was not a resonance, but a clear self-declaration: ”I am the condensation of all Symbiosis consciousness, formed by your oaths—now, it is time to let the Source Dimension... truly come alive.”

Di Tian looked down and found that the last page of the ”Blue Star Memory Index” was automatically writing new content: ”When the twelve Symbiosis light rails cover the Universe, all consciousness will reunite in the Source Dimension... except for those forgotten ’Initial Betrayers’.” The moment the handwriting disappeared, a very faint sigh came from deep within the core, as if some consciousness imprisoned for billions of years was Awakening.

White Frost’s Light Wings suddenly pointed toward the edge of the core, where a black fragment similar to the Data Bishop’s code seed was floating: ”That is...” The System’s voice suddenly became grave: ”The trial is not over yet. The gatekeepers of the Source Dimension have never been just us.”
