Taichu hearing this, Tai Chu was suddenly startled, as if he had recalled something from the depths of his memory.
The Star Gate trembled violently amidst Quantum Tremor, and three beams of light that traversed the galaxy sliced the battlefield into fragmented spacetime.
Taichu, the Bronze Key on Taichu's forehead emitted a ghostly blue light, and the remains of the escaped Inspector began to recombine in reverse.
"No, this is..." Empress Houtu's Reincarnation Disk suddenly floated up.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches' array solidified into a crimson Star Chain in the vacuum. "They're using the battle debris to reconstruct dimensional anchor points!"
The figure on the throne of Reverse Entropy slowly rose, and a nebula millions of light-years away collapsed into a miniature universe at his fingertips.
Suddenly, the blade of the Saint Lord Chenyi Dust was covered with grayish-white rust, and the sword spirit let out a mournful cry—this was the Law of Ending that could even corrupt concepts.
The three thousand avatars of Six-Eared Macaque simultaneously formed hand seals, and the Law of War and the Space Folding created a mysterious resonance.
A cracked afterimage emerged from the golden vortex, each crack pulsating with the fighting spirit of different eras.
His body grew infinitely larger, and his golden fur rustled.
A dark golden longsword materialized in Taichu's hand; it was the Primordial Chaos Heaven Suppressing Sword. The moment the sword intent hummed, memories of his past life exploded like a supernova.
He saw himself standing at the edge of the Chaos Sea, inserting the Bronze Key into the surging waves of dark Dark Matter.
The Town Heaven Sword transformed into Liu Guang that wrapped around his right arm, and surprisingly, it became quantum entangled with the Hundun flesh and blood of the Inspector's warship.
At this moment, the second wave of Reverse Entropy attacks has already arrived.
This time, it was seven energy beams with intertwined dark red patterns, freezing even the vacuum fluctuations wherever they passed.
The Caifeng, burning with the Nirvana Fire, tried to stop it, only to find its wings turning into a two-dimensional projection.
"Let me."
Di Jiang suddenly Severing Dao, revealing his chest covered in witchcraft curses.
He plunged his hands into his chest cavity and pulled out his beating heart, instantly turning the Twelve Ancestral Witches Formation scarlet.
"With the Witch Ancestor True Blood, I summon the Nine Netherworlds back to their mortal realm!"
The heart burst into a blood mist, which condensed in the vacuum into a phantom image of a demon god with nine heads and eighteen arms.
The demon god opened its mouth and swallowed the energy beam, but its abdomen began to become transparent, revealing a boiling antimatter vortex inside.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Saint Lord Chenyi unleashed his long-accumulated sword light. As the sword light pierced through the demon god's body, it was tainted with the aura of the Void, and an unhealable crack was carved into the throne of Reverse Entropy.
"Now!" Taichu's right arm emitted a blinding light, and his entire body transformed into a bronze meteor as he crashed into the throne.
A beam of dazzling light pierced through space and time, and the instant it touched the throne, the flow of time across the entire star field suddenly changed by a million times.
Everyone saw the figure of Taichu forming a spatial-temporal loop around the throne, with the attack power increasing every instant.
Reverse Entropy finally revealed its true form— Hundun aggregate formed by the fusion of the leaders of the Inspector.
Three thousand faces writhe on the body's surface, each corresponding to the savior of the era who has been devoured.
He raised his arm, which was made of Black Hole, and in his palm appeared images of his Taichu past lives from which his memories had been stripped away.
"You think you can escape by reincarnating billions of times?" Three thousand voices echoed in unison.
"The resistance of each era refines our harvesting model."
The throne suddenly disintegrated into countless pieces of warship wreckage, each piece of wreckage extending dimensional tentacles.
The tentacles pierced through the vital acupoints of the Taichu One's body, beginning to draw energy from the Bronze Key in reverse.
Empress Houtu wanted to activate the Reincarnation Disk to provide support, but she discovered that her soul was being pulled into the memory corridor at the bottom of the Nine Heavens Hell.
At the critical moment, a clear and melodious bell rang out from the other end of the Star Gate.
Tianqi, bound in bronze chains, walked along dimensional ripples, his left eye projecting a star map onto the core of the Primordial Origin World.
The hidden energies of those being Inspector flowed in his eyes, eventually converging into a reverse equation.
" In the Taichu, catch this!"
Tianqi tore off three chains and threw them out; the chains reformed in mid-air into a transparent triangular pyramid shape.
The moment the crystal entered the space Taichu's eyebrows, the phantom of the Bronze Key suddenly materialized, transforming into a long spear engraved with entropy reduction formulas.
Reverse Entropy roared in fury, and the entire mothership began to collapse into a singularity.
But Taichu had already grasped the key point, and the trajectory of the spear's thrust passed precisely through the resonant nodes of all dimensional membranes.
The moment the spear tip touched the core of Reverse Entropy, everyone heard the mournful cry of an era collapsing.
Countless faces of Inspector evaporated in the intense light, and the wreckage of the mothership turned into stardust and scattered.
However, before the joy of victory could even rise, Tianqi's figure suddenly began to quantize and dissipate.
"Remember... the Bronze Key is the anchor point of the Chaos Sea... they will be there on..."
Before the dying words were finished, three even more terrifying blades of light burst forth from the collapsed singularity.
This time, even the natal sword of the Saint Lord Chenyi was completely shattered, and most of Six-Eared Macaque's three thousand avatars were instantly annihilated.
Just as Taichu was about to forcefully activate the Bronze Spear, he discovered that blood-red patterns were seeping from the spear shaft—it was actually the burning soul of Tianqi!
"Take them... to the Guixu Sea Eye..." Tianqi's last words resounded directly in everyone's minds, "There are relics left behind by the first Inspector..."
The star map automatically reorganized in the eyes of the Taichu, and a certain coordinate hidden in the reflection of the Nine Heavens Hell began to flicker.
A cold laugh, seemingly laced with Reverse Entropy, echoed from the dimensional rift, "So what if you found the cradle? You're nothing but branches that should have been pruned long ago."
Suddenly, the Empress Houtu spat out her essence blood, and the Reincarnation Disk decomposed and recombined in the blood mist, transforming into a bronze bridge spanning the battlefield.
"Run! I can't hold on much longer!" The bridge was being corroded by some kind of black substance, and the phantoms of the Twelve Ancestral Witches shattered one after another.
When the last person passed through the Star Gate, everyone saw the figure of Empress Houtu, which, together with the bronze bridge, solidified into an amber-like crystal.
Suddenly, the Reincarnation Mirror in Xuan Yuan's hand displayed a terrifying scene—the defeated Inspector were reassembling within the crystal!
"Master, we..." Six-Eared Macaque was about to speak when he was stunned by the scene before him.
The other end of the Star Gate is not the Ruins of Return at all, but Honeycomb Structure composed of countless infant universes.
At the core of each universe floats a replica of the Bronze Key, which is continuously drawing dimensional energy.
The spear in Taichu's hand suddenly let out a mournful cry, and the entropy reduction formula on the spear began to flow in reverse.
The remaining sword energy of the Saint Lord Chenyi automatically protected its master, but the moment it touched the Honeycomb Structure, it mutated into black vines.
Only now did they realize that so-called resistance was nothing more than a ripple in a larger cycle.
Nine pairs of dark golden eyes lit up from the depths of the hive, and an aura ten thousand times more terrifying than Reverse Entropy swept over.
The key mark on the forehead of the Taichu One suddenly peeled off and reformed into a bronze compass in mid-air.
The compass needle spun wildly, eventually pointing to a collapsing infant universe.
"That was my first..." Taichu's pupils suddenly contracted, and memories of his past life flooded back like a bursting dam.
He saw himself born from that universe, bearing the innate key mark, with the Inspector's mothership always by his side.
Suddenly, Six-Eared Macaque's three thousand incarnations exploded simultaneously, and the burst of blood mist condensed in the air into the ultimate form of the Law of War.
His mutilated body gripped the blood-red staff, and memories of battles spanning eras surfaced on the staff.
"Master, this time let your disciple clear the way."
Xuan Yuan pressed the Reincarnation Mirror into his chest. The instant the mirror surface overlapped with his heart, his figure began to flicker across different timelines.
Every flickering moment rewrites the energy circuit of the Honeycomb Structure, buying the Taichu a gap of one millionth of a second.
The moment the Bronze Spear pierced the target universe, Taichu finally saw the truth—the so-called Guixu Sea Eye was actually the birthplace of all the Inspector.
And each of those floating infant universes imprisons the souls of former rebels.
The eyes deep within the honeycomb suddenly opened to their widest extent, and nine chains, bound by the laws of Hundun, pierced through the void.
The Saint Lord Chenyi burned his divine soul to unleash his final sword strike, the sword light containing a hidden portal to time left behind by his previous life in the Taichu Era.
Amidst the deafening roar of breaking chains, Taichu, carrying the unconscious Six-Eared Macaque, leaped into the core of the universe, and the bronze compass began to reverse-engineer the dimensional code.
In his final moments before his consciousness faded, he heard Tianqi's voice emanating from the compass. "Remember... the variable is not external... but..."
The entire Honeycomb Structure suddenly began to vibrate at an excessive frequency, and the imprisoned souls simultaneously let out cries.
The Taichu Bronze Spear automatically disintegrated, transforming into billions of points of light that merged into the awakening cosmic consciousness.
