Aelia's Star Moon Necklace shattered into two pieces on the Palm, and the Ice Spirit Stone refracted every tender moment of Xu Ying over the past eighteen years.
Those breakfasts with Chen Lu embedded with Iris Petals, the Carved Bedpost inscribed with the Guardian Spell, all transformed into fine ice crystals that pierced her trembling Fingertip.
"Mother!" Lucius steadied the staggering woman, suddenly noticing the tips of her silver hair beginning to turn purple—an ominous sign of the Glorious Demon Fortress matriarch's magical power dissipating.
Luna in her swaddling blanket kicked urgently, her neck emerging with faint Golden Runes.
Memories of the Former Great Mage surged within the infant's fragile Nerves; she recognized the pattern of the half Soul Serpent Egg in Aelia's necklace—it was indeed the Abyssal Serpent Embryo that devoured the entire Magic Castle in the later chapters of the original story.
"Wah!" The baby suddenly tore apart the swaddling embroidered with a High-Level Protective Spell, her chubby little hands slapping against Lucius's Palm, directing Energy Flow onto the diagram.
The previously still Magic Veins suddenly manifested as a Three-Dimensional Projection, clearly displaying twelve Dark Red Energy Flows extending from the Earth Vein Core towards the Southwest.
The sound of Crystal Fragments crunching under his brother's Wheelchair was jarring.
This Eldest Son, paralyzed for seven years due to a Magic Backlash, now had his Family Crest glowing with a Red Glow on his forehead: "The direction of White Rose Manor! Third Brother, look, these Energy Nodes are clearly..."
"Pregnancy Spirit Magic Array." Lucius traced his Fingertip along the writhing Serpent Pattern in the Projection. "Father tricked Mother into signing a Soul Bond with a Twenty-Year Marriage Contract, and it has been transformed into a transfer Contract." He tugged at his collar, revealing an Ice Spirit Stone crystal emerging beneath his Collarbone, sharing its origin with Aelia's Wedding Ring.
The entire Assembly Hall suddenly shook violently; the Ancestral Portraits on the walls collectively turned towards the Southwest.
In the chaos, Luna seized Aelia's shattered Crescent Pendant, and surprisingly, the purifying magic in her saliva caused black smoke to rise from the surface of the eggshell.
A wisp of dark Purple Smoke coalesced in midair into Leonard's figure; he gently caressed Leonard's Concubine's swollen abdomen—wherein lay a magical Sheen Pattern that perfectly overlapped with the Golden Serpent in the Geomancy Projection.
Aelia suddenly crushed Xu Ying, the splintered Ice Spirit Stone Fragment slicing through her dyed purple hair. "Prepare the Magic Pattern Chariot!" The matriarch's imposing presence made the Crystal Chandelier chime, but upon noticing Luna clutching a half-wrapped bundle, her tone softened. "Don't be afraid, my dear. Mother will..."
"Wow!" Luna suddenly pressed her saliva-coated Jade Pendant against her older brother's Wheelchair Armrest.
The metal inscribed with a High-Level Protective Spell instantly melted and reformed into a palm-sized Serpent Compass.
The pale young man's fingers barely grazed the compass when the dormant Magic Circuit within his Blood Vessel awakened after years of silence.
"This is... a Geothermal Resonator?" He stared in shock at the remnants of Mithril liquid on the Wheelchair Armrest. "How does Sister know about my mechanical talent?" As he rotated the compass, everyone heard the Roar of collapsing buildings from the Southwest.
Lucius abruptly cut his Palm and pressed it against the Projection. "There's no time! The Pregnancy Spirit Formation has entered the Third Step!" The Blood Pearl merged with the Geomancy veins of Shan Na, and suddenly, Twelve Rays and Dark Red Pillars rose from the direction of White Rose Manor, as the Magic Fortress Barrier became riddled with Web-like Cracks.
Luna anxiously reached for Aelia's blood-stained silver hair, and deep within the baby's Pupil flashed a golden clock—Xu Ying.
In her past life memories, this upheaval was supposed to occur on the night of the star eclipse three months later—Leonard had activated the Contract early to transfer, indicating that Leonard's Concubine's Magic Fetus...
"Watch out!" Qin Si suddenly tackled Aelia.
The previously floating Soul Serpent Egg Projection materialized, sharp eggshell fragments grazing the matriarch's throat and leaving sizzling corrosive marks on the wall.
Luna noticed that each fragment reflected different terrifying futures: the collapse of the Magic Castle, her brothers being devoured by Mojie, Aelia’s silver hair turning completely white...
Her older brother abruptly turned his Wheelchair to jam the impending shattering Defensive Nexus. "Third Brother, use your forbidden flame to burn my Left Arm!" He tore open his Sleeve to reveal an arm covered in Curse scars. "Years ago, I forcibly fused Water and Fire Elements, leaving behind a Backlash Mark. Perhaps it can temporarily replace the Earth Vein Core!"
As the Azure Flame enveloped the Eldest Son's arm, a roar echoed through the entire Magic Castle, resonating with the sound of Ancient Gears turning.
Luna saw her elder brother's neck oozing Ice Blue Magic Particles—this was clearly a sign of the awakening of the Mechanical Mage, just like in the original book!
The infant struggled to expel a bubble shimmering with golden light, which wrapped around the Serpent Compass and crashed into the flames.
Suddenly, the stabilized Defensive Shield rippled, and the Dark Red Pillars to the Southwest twisted bizarrely for a moment.
Lucius suddenly pointed at the compass and exclaimed, "The Ley Line Energy is reversing!" In the Projection, the Twelve Energy Streams surged in a way that defied magical logic, while beneath her brother's Wheelchair, a long-lost Reversal Magic Array began to emerge.
Aelia held Luna tightly in her arms, tears from their mother mingling with the infant's saliva as they fell into the center of the Magic Array.
When the Blood Moon Pattern illuminated the array, everyone heard Leonard's furious roar coming from below ground. At that moment, Second Brother's Old Pocket Watch at his waist suddenly sprang open on its own—the surface was covered in Ice Cracks identical to the Curse Scar he had taken for his dear friend years ago.
Second Brother staggered against a stone pillar as the Dark Red bloodstains inside the Bronze Case suddenly grew hot.
He gazed at the reflection of the Magic Castle Dome in the Pocket Watch's glass face, where a crack was spreading just like the one he had seen when parting with his friend. A promise buried deep in his memory began to surface alongside the unusual movement of Ley Line Energy, casting an eerie Purple Light...
As Second Brother's fingertip touched the crack at the edge of the Pocket Watch, images of that torrential rain from five years ago suddenly reflected on its Bronze surface.
His dear friend Yarlin had pierced his Rib with a Poisoned Dagger, and Blood Pearl splattered onto the inner side of the watch’s Magic Circuit, staining it red along with Yarlin's curse: "The Mojie will eventually awaken."
"Second Brother!" Brother San's call pulled him back to reality.
The Young Mechanic was using Ice Crystal Tweezers to pick up a Pocket Watch Gear, while his pupils contracted sharply behind the Magic Crystal Lens. "These Dark Golden Patterns... are part of the reverse Magic Circuit of the Pregnancy Spirit Magic Array!"
The vibrations of the Assembly Hall suddenly diminished, as the Reversal Magic Array beneath Elder Brother's wheelchair formed a delicate balance with the Dark Red Pillars of the Southwest.
Second Brother stood up, leaning against a stone pillar, and cracks in his Pocket Watch began to ooze Purple Light. "Years ago, Yarlin entrusted me with this timepiece, claiming it was the key to the Eternal Night Library." He pulled open his collar to reveal an unhealed scar on his rib, which oddly mirrored the shape of the fissures in the Magic Castle Dome.
Brother San abruptly pressed the Magic Crystal Lens against the surface of the Pocket Watch, causing the Lens to refract a twelve-layered Magic Circle pattern. "No wonder Father wanted to place Leonard's Concubine at White Rose Manor!
Beneath that ground lies the Entrance to the Eternal Night Library. The key Yarlin gave you... is actually a sacrificial offering to awaken Mojie!"
Luna sobbed anxiously in Aelia's arms, her infant pupils reflecting the Star Trail swirling within the Pocket Watch.
In her memories from a past life, this Eternal Night Library, which was supposed to manifest a decade later, was now appearing prematurely due to Geomancy flowing backward.
Suddenly, she expelled a bubble shimmering with golden light, which wrapped around Aelia's blood-stained silver hair and drifted toward Second Brother's wound.
As her hair touched the scar's Shan Na, the Bronze Pocket Watch unexpectedly levitated in mid-air, ice cracks seeping Dark Red Liquid from its surface.
Second Brother grasped Brother San's hand and pressed it onto the watch face. "Use your Elemental Resonance talent!
You once said my Magic Patterns resembled Hai Yan in a storm..."
"And now they should transform into Tear and Wu Yun's lightning." Brother San's fingertip glowed with an Eerie Blue Light as those Magic Circuits neglected by Second Brother for seven years suddenly awakened beneath his skin.
A blinding Strong Light erupted between their overlapping palms, and the Pocket Watch Gear emitted a roar reminiscent of an Ancient Bell Tower. From the fissures in the Magic Castle Dome, countless Starlight Chains suddenly descended.
At the same time, Qin Si was supporting Aelia as they walked through the Emerald Corridor.
The purple at the ends of the matriarch's silver hair had spread to her hair tips. The maid used silver scissors to cut the discolored strands, only to find tiny Serpent Shadows crawling out from the cut ends.
"Madam, be careful of the West Tower." Qin Si dipped Aelia's wedding ring into holy water, and suddenly, the Ice Spirit Stone on the ring reflected several Serpent Scale Marks on the maids' necks. "This morning, I discovered three Second-Rank Maids setting up a Serpent Candelabrum in the Wine Cellar. I've already had the guards lock them in the Anti-Magic Room."
Aelia's wedding ring suddenly froze an entire basin of holy water. She gazed at the reflection of the Magic Castle on the ice surface and softly asked, "Qin Si, when I insisted on marrying Leonard back then, you said that the Black Rose of the Glorious Demon Fortress bloomed more vividly than blood..."
"And now they should be colored anew with the flesh and blood of traitors." The maid suddenly cut her finger, using her blood to draw an ancient Family Crest on the ice surface. "Please allow me to summon the Shadow Guards, Madam. Those Ancestral Spirits hidden within the Image should awaken and see the true face of the Current Fortress Lord."
A rustling sound of yellowed pages turning suddenly echoed from deep within the Magic Castle.
Lucius stood on the seventh level of the Forbidden Zone, where ancient texts recorded the Blood Moon Reversal Technique resonating with the Ice Spirit Stone crystal beneath his collarbone.
The young man tore open his shirt to reveal his muscular chest and used a silver dagger to slice his skin, letting blood flow along an Ancient Incantation.
"I see..." He dipped his blood onto parchment, drawing a complex Formation Diagram. "Father used a Twenty-Year Marriage Contract to steal Mother's Earth Vein Authority, and my Ice Spirit Stone crystal can serve as a reverse Coordinate." Suddenly, a Blood Pearl floated into a Northern Crown Constellation Map, and the Ancestral Portraits behind him spoke: "Use First Snow Meltwater mixed with Eastern Volcano Ash, child; that is key to breaking the Soul Bond."
As Lucius burst out of his study, the entire Magic Castle's Defensive Shield had turned into a translucent amber hue.
He saw his Second Brother and Brother San standing atop the bell tower, their Bronze Pocket Watches weaving a net with Starlight Chains. The Shadow Guards led by Qin Si transformed into black mist as they traversed through the Emerald Corridor, sealing the Demon Seeds within those Serpent Scale Maids into Crystal Bottles. Meanwhile, his eldest brother's Wheelchair hovered above the Earth Vein Core, with a Mechanical Compass etching the Reversal Magic Array into each Peacock Stone Tile.
Aelia held Luna as she stood on the Stargazing Platform, her blood-stained silver hair billowing in the night wind like a banner.
The baby suddenly grasped the shattered necklace around her neck, and pure magic seeped through the fingertips into the iris petals of Xu Ying.
As the wedding scene from eighteen years ago emerged, Aelia finally saw the serpent emblem in the corner of the marriage certificate—it was not a guardian spell at all, but a hatching timer for the magic serpent egg.
"Madam!" Qin Si suddenly pointed toward the southwest.
The dark red pillars above White Rose Manor began to twist, and twelve rays of energy flowed like a dying snake, writhing madly.
Luna excitedly kicked in her swaddling, watching as her elder brother's mechanical compass rewrote the geomancy rules, while her second brother's bronze pocket watch transformed the entrance to the Eternal Night Library into a sealing array. Meanwhile, Brother San's crescent light glowed in his hand...
Three hundred meters beneath Magic Castle, Leonard's crystal ball suddenly exploded.
The bulging abdomen of Leonard's concubine stirred with the restless movement of the magic fetus. The man gazed at the fading blood-red magic array in the direction of White Rose Manor, swallowing his panic as his Adam's apple bobbed.
He caressed the scales that were gradually emerging on his lover's abdomen and pressed the last three magic crystals into the core of the Pregnancy Spirit Formation—there lay a formation diagram identical to that at the site of his eldest son's experiment accident seven years ago.
As the golden light of the reversal magic array swept over the spire of Magic Castle, Leonard felt the marriage contract hidden in his sleeve suddenly heat up.
He watched as Aelia's name on the contract was being devoured by some pure force, while the magical sheen pattern on his lover's abdomen began to rotate counterclockwise.
The man quickly performed a hand seal to activate a backup array but found that ley line energy had long since slipped out of control, reminiscent of that snowy night twenty years ago when Aelia signed her name on their soul bond, and a petal of iris at the edge of their marriage certificate inexplicably withered away.
Leonard's fingertips sank into his lover's pale shoulder blade as shards from the shattered crystal ball left scorch marks on the core of the magic circle.
Daisy's abdomen suddenly bulged with a fist-sized protrusion, the sound of scales rubbing against each other mingling with her pained groans echoing in the confined chamber.
"Darling..." Daisy clutched his Gold Thread cuff, her eyes glistening with the crimson Halo of the Pregnancy Spirit Formation, as the Serpent Scale at the corner of her eye began to peel away. "The child says it's cold..."
The man swallowed the Magic Potion, his Adams Apple rolling as the Marriage Contract Scroll in his sleeve grew hot.
He gazed at the counterclockwise swirling magic Sheen Pattern on Daisy's abdomen and suddenly recalled that snowy night twenty years ago—when Aelia pressed her fingerprint onto the Soul Bond, a petal of the Iris outside their window had been suddenly frosted away.
At that time, he thought it was the Northern Territory's Cold Wind at play; now, the core of the Pregnancy Spirit Formation, with its Emerging Ice Crystal Pattern, bore an uncanny resemblance to the cracked petals from that long-ago bloom.
"Just hold on a little longer." He sliced open his wrist, letting blood drip into the formation's center, watching as a Blood Pearl eerily floated into an inverted Serpent Pattern.
The dome of the chamber suddenly warped; what should have pointed towards the Eternal Night Library's Entrance now aligned with the position of the Magic Castle and Stargazing Platform.
Daisy let out an inhuman shriek as scales on her abdomen gaped open, seeping Ice Blue Black Slime. Those Dark Red Pillars that were meant to absorb Ley Line Energy were being tainted by some pure force, turning frosty.
At the Magic Fortress Earth Vein Core, Luna's saliva dripped down Ailya's Silver Hair.
The infant's Pink Palm tightly gripped half of a Serpent Egg Pendant, Pure Magic seeping through the swaddling into the Reversal Array.
The Ice Spirit Stone on Master's Wedding Ring suddenly reflected the scene in the chamber—Leonard was pinning Daisy at the center of the Pregnancy Spirit Formation, while the edges of the Formation Diagram bore an Iris Emblem clearly drawn with blood scabs from Eldest Son's Experiment Accident seven years ago.
"Ugh... Ah!" Luna suddenly slammed her forehead against Aelia's neck, where a broken necklace lay.
The ice crystal pierced the infant Mei Xin, and as the Blood Pearl fell to the ground, it unexpectedly bloomed into a golden Iris.
This scene unfolded before Lucius, who was rushing over. Suddenly, a cold wave erupted from the Ice Spirit Stone beneath the young Collarbone—those Eastern Volcano Ashes, warned about by the Ancestral Portraits, were now gushing from the Geothermal Rift, merging with the First Snow Meltwater in the Reversal Array to form a blood-red Ice Spike.
The stone slab beneath Leonard's feet cracked open, and the magic Sheen Pattern on Daisy's abdomen began to fade.
In terror, the man realized that the Ley Line Energy, which should have flowed into the Magic Fetus through the Pregnancy Spirit Formation, was now flowing back against the Magic Fortress Barrier.
He frantically tore open a Secret Letter Scroll from ten years ago. The yellowed parchment was still stained with the Secret Silver Solution from his Eldest Son's wheelchair—the Protective Array Blueprint he had personally swapped back then was now emerging as an Ice Iris Totem identical to that of the Reversal Array.
"It’s impossible..." he staggered backward, watching as a translucent serpent tail emerged from Daisy's abdomen.
The scales transformed into shards of Ice Spirit Stone upon touching the reversed Ley Line Energy.
The secret chamber began to collapse, and suddenly, his Marriage Contract Scroll unfurled on its own—Aelia's name was being devoured by Golden Flame, just like that inexplicably wilted Iris from twenty years ago, stretching and reborn in the fire.
Starlight surged through the cracks of the Magic Castle Dome, and his brother's Mechanical Compass emitted a sound not heard in a millennium from the Earth Vein Core.
Leonard knelt amidst the crumbling Pregnancy Spirit Formation, watching Daisy's body gradually petrify. Trembling, he reached for his Heart and Dark Bag—inside lay half of a Soul Serpent Egg, which at this moment resonated fatally with the token he had hidden in their Marriage Certificate twenty years ago...
