"This is not a musical instrument..." Xu Rong's Bone Blade struck towards Bian Zhong, but it emitted a metallic wail reminiscent of a baby's cry. "It is the Civilization Womb..."
Black amniotic fluid seeped from the cracks in the bell, soaking the yet-to-be-formed Civilization Embryo. Suddenly, one of the embryos opened its Compound Eyes and let out a high-pitched scream, burning Xu Rong's retina with its intensity.
In the morning mist of Easter Island, the Moai Statue opened its Laser Pupil. Where those beams swept across, the Penguin Colony was instantly vaporized, casting a Binary Epitaph on the rock wall. When Xu Rong touched the inscription, he felt the tremors of the Antarctic Ice Sheet cracking beneath his fingertips.
"Warning... Civilization Pollution Index 97%..." The statue's vocal cords vibrated with the genetic memory of the Pleistocene Mammoth. "Initiating Final Disinfection Procedure..."
The largest Moai Statue's abdomen split open, revealing a rotating Klein Bottle structure inside. Xu Rong saw countless versions of himself pouring out from the bottle's mouth: some covered in musical instruments, others transformed into nebula-like consciousness, and some fused with the Sower's throne.
In a mysterious and ancient area of the Amazon Rainforest stood a massive Ant Nest, thirty meters tall, resembling an ancient castle. The surface of the Ant Nest was thickly coated with soil and moss, while countless Bullet Ants busily moved about its exterior in an orderly fashion, as if directed by some mysterious force.
Suddenly, the Ant Nest began to emit a strange sound, akin to a series of electronic signals beeping. Xu Rong stood before it, his gaze filled with caution. He could sense an eerie energy emanating from within the Ant Nest, as if an invisible signal was being transmitted.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Rong slowly approached the Ant Nest. He drew his Bone Blade and swung it forcefully, slicing open the shell of the nest. As the shell cracked apart, countless Bullet Ants surged forth from within, their Compound Eyes glinting with an eerie light under the sun.
Xu Rong observed closely and realized that the flickering light of these Compound Eyes was not random; it formed a rhythmic signal—ASCII Code. He stared at the Bullet Ants and noticed that their mandibles clicked in a rhythmic pattern that also conveyed some form of information.
These rhythms complemented the flickering signals of their Compound Eyes, as if they were translating an ancient text. Xu Rong suddenly realized that these Bullet Ants were translating Genesis into machine language; each code and rhythm corresponded to a character in Creation Era.
As Xu Rong observed the Bullet Ant, the entire rainforest suddenly fell into a profound silence. All sounds vanished, and even the wind ceased to blow.
Xu Rong lifted his head and saw the tree rings beginning to peel away on their own, as if drawn by some invisible force. These rings floated slowly in the air, gradually forming a massive QR Code.
Captivated by this enormous QR Code, Xu Rong walked towards it, extending his hand to gently touch its surface. The moment his fingertip made contact, a torrent of information surged into his mind, overwhelming him.
He glimpsed the Earth Archives of the Twenty-Second Century: humanity had devolved into glowing Jellyfish, drifting within a Liquid Harp Case created by the Sower. These Jellyfish emitted a faint luminescence, resembling some form of bioluminescence. They floated languidly in the liquid, as if awaiting an unknown fate.
In an instant, Xu Rong's consciousness was pulled into an entirely new space. He felt as though he had traversed an invisible wormhole and plunged into a vast Civilization Graveyard. Countless cocoons of civilizations floated around him, each one sealing away a fragment of a Despairing Epic.
