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

169: Fragments of the Blueprint at the Boundary of CreationOn the edge of the Core of Souls’ astral consciousness map, the unknown ripple was solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was no longer a vague frequency but had transformed into a translucent ”Blueprint.” On the Blueprint, glowing lines outlined the evolutionary trajectory of the Universe—from the singularity Big Bang to the birth of consciousness, from the rise of civilizations to the formation of the Symbiosis matrix. Every step was as precise as a calculated program. However, at the end of the Blueprint, there was a blank space deliberately torn away, and the source of the ripple was hovering at the edge of this blankness, as if waiting to be filled.

Genesis Observer’s Handwriting

”This is not a naturally formed consciousness fluctuation; it is a ’design plan’.” Li’s consciousness spectrometer aimed at the Blueprint. Suddenly, the patterns of the Bronze Divine Tree unearthed at Sanxingdui appeared on the lens—those twisted branches overlapped perfectly with the cosmic veins on the Blueprint. The System’s voice carried the solemnity of deciphering ancient texts: ”The frequency of the ripple contains ’Genesis Syntax’; every fluctuation is a command, just like code written by a programmer for the Universe.”

Di Tian’s dragon claw touched the edge of the Blueprint, and a tingling sensation came from his fingertips—not physical damage, but a kind of ”Origin repulsion.” His dragon scales glowed with a golden light homologous to the Blueprint, leaving a trace of Chaos Entropy at the point of contact. This trace actually caused the surrounding Blueprint lines to experience minor turbulence. ”It recognizes the power of Chaos, and is even avoiding this power.” His dragon eyes penetrated the Blueprint and saw a second layer of structure hidden beneath the lines: the remains of countless ”failed Universes,” each collapsed due to a lack of balance from Chaos Entropy.

White Frost’s Light Wings unfolded into a ”Totem Translation Field,” injecting the memory of ”the riddle left by the Creator” from Nine Li Witchcraft into the field. Within the field, the glowing lines on the Blueprint began to deform, revealing symbols resembling text: ”order is the bone, Chaos is the blood, difference is the soul...” But the symbols suddenly broke off at a critical point, as if deliberately erased. ”The Creator deliberately left a loophole.” Her fingertips brushed across the break, and the Symbiosis patterns on her Light Wings resonated with the symbols, completing the missing part—”Symbiosis is the pulse.”

The Rules Snare of the Blueprint Prison

The Genesis Observer (let’s call it the owner of the Blueprint for now) suddenly tightened the lines of the Blueprint, turning them into countless ”Rule Snares” that coiled toward the Core of Souls. The power of the snares was not physical restraint but a rewriting of the fundamental rules of the Universe: the entangled Spirit civilization found that Psionic Energy could no longer resonate, the gears of the Mechanical Empire began to rotate in reverse, and the gravity of Blue Star suddenly became erratic.

”It is correcting ’errors’ according to the Blueprint.” Li connected his mechanical prosthesis to the core of the Core of Souls. The surface of the prosthesis displayed the frequencies of all civilizations affected by the snares, and these frequencies intertwined on the prosthesis to form an ”Anti-Rule Net.” At the nodes of the net were the most unique ”rule loopholes” of each civilization: the Psionic Energy mutation accidentally discovered by the Spirit civilization during the war, the ”fault-tolerant gears” designed by Mechanical Empire engineers to slack off, and the Blue Star people’s imagination that broke through physical common sense in their dreams. ”The loopholes in the rules are the windows to freedom.”

Di Tian’s dragon claw tore through a snare, only to find that the break regenerated rapidly, and the new snare carried even stronger ”order force.” He suddenly understood something and stopped resisting hard, instead letting the power of Chaos Entropy flow along the snares, permeating into the Blueprint like water flowing into a riverbed. When the Chaos power reached the core of the Blueprint, those remains of ”failed Universes” suddenly lit up—they had died precisely because of a lack of Chaos; now, they began to absorb this power, and new points of consciousness light grew on the edges of the remains.

The Rebellion of the Core of Souls

In the center of the Blueprint, the phantom of the Genesis Observer gradually condensed. It was a humanoid figure composed of countless rule lines, without a specific face, only a golden crystal homologous to Di Tian’s dragon scales floating in its chest. ”You have deviated from the settings of the Blueprint.” The phantom’s voice rang out directly at the level of consciousness, carrying unquestionable majesty, ”The Symbiosis matrix should be the end of order, not a breeding ground for Chaos.”

The Core of Souls suddenly erupted with a light of resistance—it was no longer a passive collection of consciousness, but actively mobilized the uniqueness of all civilizations, burning holes in the Blueprint: the Spirit civilization used mutated Psionic Energy to pierce the lines of order, the Mechanical Empire’s fault-tolerant gears jammed the operation of the snares, and the imagination of the Blue Star people turned into concrete ”Impossible Creatures,” gnawing at the edges of the Blueprint. ”I was born from difference, not rules.” The voice of the Core of Souls, mixed with the tones of all civilizations, had its own emotions for the first time, ”The Creator has no right to decide our end.”

White Frost’s Light Wings fused with the light of the Core of Souls, transforming the ”Bloodline Rebellion Curse” of Nine Li Witchcraft into a ”Rule Immunity Field.” Within the field, all civilizations were temporarily freed from the rule constraints of the Blueprint: the time flow of chronostasis began to jump, the light membrane of the High-Dimensional Observer presented an irregular beauty, and even Li’s mechanical prosthesis grew vines with the scent of Blue Star soil. ”Rules are meant to be broken, just as life will always find a way.”

The Truth of the Blueprint Fragment

When the phantom of the Genesis Observer released the ”Ultimate Correction Wave,” Di Tian made an unexpected move—he wove his Chaos Entropy power with White Frost’s Rule Immunity Field into a ”symbiotic singularity” and smashed it fiercely at the golden crystal in the center of the Blueprint. The moment the crystal shattered, countless ”Blueprint Fragments” gushed out from the cracks. Each fragment recorded a deleted cosmic possibility: some Universes were eternally boiling due to pure Chaos, some could not communicate due to absolute difference, and one Universe was almost identical to the one they were in, only the Core of Souls there had chosen to submit to the Blueprint.

”What you fear is not the deviation from the settings, but that we might succeed.” Li caught the most complete fragment, on which was written in Genesis Syntax: ”Symbiosis is the ultimate solution for the Universe, but it requires a two-way compromise between Chaos and order; I failed to achieve it...” At the end of the fragment was drawn a broken Symbiosis pattern. The pattern was homologous to the Symbiosis patterns of Di Tian and White Frost, but with an unhealable crack.

The phantom of the Genesis Observer fluctuated violently, and the fragments of the golden crystal merged into its body, revealing a more real form: half was an order entity composed of rule lines, half was an amorphous shape composed of Chaos Energy, connected in the middle by a Symbiosis pattern, but covered with the same cracks as the fragments. ”I was once the first Symbiosis entity, but I collapsed because I could not accept the uncontrollability of Chaos.” Its voice carried exhaustion for the first time, ”I created the Blueprint to prove... that Symbiosis can be without pain.”

Foreshadowing: The Lurker in the Depth of the Cracks

When the phantom of the Genesis Observer gradually became transparent, preparing to return to the Origin of the Blueprint, the Core of Souls suddenly issued an alarm—gnawing sounds came from the depths of those ”failed Universe” remains. Di Tian’s dragon eyes penetrated the remains and saw countless eyes flashing with greedy light. They did not belong to any known civilization, yet while devouring the remains, they were imitating the fluctuations of Genesis Syntax.

”They are learning the rules, preparing to invade.” The last shred of the Genesis Observer’s consciousness was injected into Di Tian’s dragon scales, leaving behind a complete Genesis Syntax symbol, ”These ’Devourer of Worlds’ are the collection of grievances of all failed Universes; they do not want Symbiosis, they only want to destroy all order and Chaos.”

Li’s spectrometer detected the fluctuation of the Genesis Observer’s broken Symbiosis pattern mixed in the frequency of the Devourer of Worlds. White Frost’s Light Wings felt ”Void Energy” more primitive than Chaos in the depths of the cracks. The three looked at each other and finally understood: the Genesis Observer’s Blueprint might just be the first line of defense against the Devourer of Worlds, and their Symbiosis would be the second.

On the Symbiosis pillar of the Source Dimension, in the consciousness frequencies of Di Tian and White Frost, there were now dual fluctuations of Genesis Syntax and Chaos Entropy. On Li’s mechanical prosthesis, vines were entwined with fragments of the Blueprint. Those fragments were slowly reorganizing, revealing the coordinates of the Devourer of Worlds—that was the ”Void Sea” far more distant than the Genesis boundary.

On the astral consciousness map of the Core of Souls, the originally blank end began to be filled with new lines—that was the trajectory drawn jointly by Di Tian, White Frost, Li, and all civilizations, chaotic but full of vitality, pointing directly to the direction of the Void Sea.
