Lin Yue, a medical slacker from Beijing Normal University's Medical Research Institute, was sucked into a strange door by a mysterious force just because she casually complained a few words.
The moment the spaceship broke through the purification channel, the silver gear in Lin Yue's palm suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light. The ancient divine characters on the gear's surface moved like a living thing, projecting a star map never before seen on the porthole. At the edge of the primordial sea in the center of the map, a circular building emerged. Its outer walls were inlaid with countless light-chip gears, each resonating with the cosmic microwave background radiation. The calico cat suddenly pounced at the projection, its mechanical claws sparking at the base of the ring structure, where a reverse pattern was engraved, exactly symmetrical to the gear mark on the back of Lin Yue's neck.
"This is the 'boundary lighthouse' recorded by the observer." Lu Li's code analyzed the gear fluctuations, and the spacecraft engine suddenly beeped. Seventeen colors of light were mixed with fine dark purple lines. "The spatial curvature at the end of the channel is abnormal. Conventional jumps will be torn apart by the energy field of the primordial sea." Lin Yue's time thread penetrated the light-chip gear and felt a warm flow of energy spreading along the lines - the ancient god characters inside the gear were synchronizing with her biological frequency, and each resonance was decomposing the entropy particles on the surface of the engine.
A calico cat suddenly leaped onto the control console. The wreckage of the gear collar emitted a high-pitched humming sound, and the coordinates of the boundary lighthouse on the star map projection began to ooze golden fluid. The fluid formed a phantom light bridge, connecting the spacecraft to the lighthouse base. As Lu Li's code touched the edge of the light bridge, the golden lines of all defense matrices suddenly illuminated, forming a resonant ring synchronized with the lighthouse gears. "It's a guidance beacon left by the Observer!" He inserted the fragment of the Order Core into the engine. "But the light bridge can only last three minutes. We must land before the energy decays."
The moment the spaceship stepped onto the light bridge, the gear mark on the back of Lin Yue's neck suddenly detached from his skin, transforming into a stream of light and immersing into the lighthouse's base. The entire circular building began to rotate counterclockwise, and the light-dust gears on the outer wall illuminated one by one, projecting a cosmic scene spanning billions of years: as the giant eye of the primordial sea opened, observers used order anchors to weave a resonant network at its edge. Each gear was a node in the network, recording the initial boundary between chaos and order. The calico cat suddenly arched its back, and the gears in its mechanical chest sounded an alarm—instead of light dust, a dark purple mist with a salty smell was seeping from the lighthouse's core.
"It's the remnant of the Primordial Sea's consciousness!" Lin Yue clenched the memory gear, and the gear resonated with the light gear. Fragments of the observer's trapped memory emerged in the mist: the silver-haired guardian knelt in front of the central hub, using seventeen-color gems to repair the broken resonance network, but the moment the gems touched the mist, all the gear patterns began to rotate in reverse, bringing the Primordial Sea's consciousness into the boundary.
The lighthouse's ground suddenly cracked, and a dark purple mist lifted a flaming gear. The ancient divine script on the gear's surface melted, replaced by the flowing lines of a giant eye's pupil. The moment Lin Yue's light-chip gear resonated with the burning gear, all the outer gears suddenly exploded, sending her flying to the top of the circular structure. As she fell, she grabbed a suspended light-chip gear, only to see her own reflection reflected within it—surrounded by countless dark purple tentacles, which were spreading along the gear's lines toward the depths of her consciousness.
"The reverberation is assimilating your biosignature!" Lu Li's code wove a barrier net through the void, but its tentacles corroded it, leaving it riddled with holes. "We must find the Lighthouse's 'resonating heart'!" The calico cat suddenly plunged into the mist, its mechanical claws slicing through the ground in a shower of sparks. A burst of blue light from the remains of its gear collar burned a tunnel through the mist. Lin Yue's thread of time captured the energy fluctuations at the end of the tunnel. It was the core hub constructed by the Observer using fragments of the Order Anchor, now enveloped by the consciousness of the Primordial Sea.
The moment they fell into the heart of resonance, they saw a translucent Order Anchor hovering in the center. Within the anchor, a dark purple light thread was trapped. Each pulse of the light thread triggered a chain reaction among the gears on the lighthouse's outer wall. The moment the light gears resonated with the anchor, the dark purple mist suddenly contracted, forming a giant eye phantom that slammed into the Order Anchor. The calico cat roared, its mechanical body expanding into a fortress of gears, shielding the anchor with armor made from the remains of its collar. The clashing of the gears emitted a stream of light from the First Guardian's consciousness.
"Use the light stream of consciousness to reconstruct the resonant frequency!" Lu Li injected all the codes into the light-dust gear. Lin Yue raised the memory gear, and seventeen colors of light intertwined with the golden code to form a resonant string. When the string touched the dark purple light thread, the light suddenly burst into a sharp cry, and the memories of the primordial sea poured in like a tide: before the birth of order, the giant eye had attempted to weave a network of life using space-time anchors, but due to the loss of energy control, the anchors backfired, and it was ultimately repelled to the edge of the order it had created.
"It's not trying to destroy order..." Lin Yue muttered to herself, and the light gears erupted with a soft white light. "It's trying to regain its lost resonance." The shadow of the giant eye trembled in the white light, and the dark purple mist gradually faded, revealing golden star tracks deep within the pupil. The calico cat suddenly jumped into the light stream. The debris of the gear collar collided with the memory gears, unexpectedly forming a complete "original string" in the void—each string was formed by the resonance of the light gears and the order anchor, playing the original frequency of the giant eye's birth.
Lu Li's code analyzed the frequency fluctuations: "This is the first resonance of the birth of the universe. The Giant Eye is... returning to its origin?" Lin Yue nodded. The thread of time touched the node where the strings vibrated. She saw the fragments of the Primordial Sea's consciousness decompose along the frequency, transforming into energy particles that nourish the universe. But at this moment, the gears on the outer wall of the lighthouse suddenly oozed a blood-red light. The skin on Lin Yue's back cracked, and an anchor composed of dark purple energy broke out of her body, forcibly connecting her to the Giant Eye's consciousness.
"The Order Anchor fragment is still inside!" Lin Yue yanked out the Star Scepter, piercing the tip of the staff into the Light Gear. Seventeen colors of light and golden codes simultaneously poured into the anchor fragment. The ancient divine script on the fragment's surface suddenly illuminated, unexpectedly beginning to repair the last crack in the Giant Eye's consciousness. The calico cat let out a shrill cry, and its mechanical body exploded into a rain of gears, each engraved with the observer's memory symbol, shooting into the fragment's cracks like a barrage. When the last gear embedded itself in the crack, the fragment erupted with a powerful light. Lin Yue felt the dark purple energy within his body being drawn out, flowing along the strings into the Giant Eye's core.
