The Great Doctor Girl

"No, I can't let her succeed!" I bit my fingertip and dripped blood onto the Seven Star Moxibustion Box. Seven clusters of moxa fire instantly exploded, spewing out emerald-colored light mist, forming a huge flame formation that surrounded Lin Chen.

"It's useless..." Yu Wenxue's voice became weaker and weaker. "The Falling Star Return has already started. You...can't stop it..."

However, just as her voice was about to disappear, Lin Chen's body suddenly trembled violently. A trace of clarity flashed in his pupils, and his lips trembled slightly: "Luo...Luo Shu..."

"Lin Chen!" I exclaimed, realizing that Yuwenxue's control was weakening.

"Quick... stop her..." Lin Chen said with difficulty, "Use... use the power of the Star Marrow Vein..."

I immediately understood and turned to look at Huang Junze: "Junze, use your Ziwei destiny to guide the energy of the Xingmiao vein!"

Huang Junze nodded, his dragon scales gleaming all over his body. He fully mobilized the power of his Purple Star Fate, and a golden energy flowed through him. I took a deep breath, and my hands quickly formed ancient and mysterious seals, muttering to myself:

"Qian Yuan initiates destiny, Kun De carries all things.

Yin and Yang reverse, and the stars return to their tracks.

The spiritual essence shines brightly and the forbidden technique is broken.

The Heavenly Doctor's decree banishes all evil."

As the spell came out of my lips, my voice seemed to carry a strange power, echoing in the submarine.

Instantly, the air around us seemed stirred by an invisible force. The lights within the cabin flickered, echoing the golden energy flowing from Huang Junze's body. As if summoned, the energy of the astral vein surged towards us. A faint blue crystalline light illuminated the entire submarine, as if it were about to break free from the constraints of reality under the impact of this powerful force. The three energies intertwined within the cabin, forming a vortex of light resembling a three-armed spiral galaxy, magnificent yet fraught with danger.

"Boom!" The living meridians of the underwater ruins suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and the energy of the star marrow veins poured into the submarine like a flood, following Huang Junze's guidance, and hit Lin Chen's body directly.

"Ah!" Lin Chen let out a painful roar. The deep-sea algae around him quickly withered. Yu Wenxue's residual soul was forced out of his body, turned into a wisp of black smoke, and dissipated in the air.

"Success!" I breathed a sigh of relief, but before we could celebrate, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the submarine.

"Not good!" Xin Xin pointed out the porthole, "The underwater ruins... are collapsing!"

I looked at the AR star map and found that the living meridians were rapidly disintegrating, the energy of the star marrow veins was out of control, and the entire sea area was in chaos.

"Luo Shu, we must leave here!" Huang Junze grabbed my hand, his eyes full of anxiety.

I nodded and quickly initiated the submarine's emergency escape procedure. However, just as we were about to evacuate, the voice of the girl in the ice coffin rang in my ears again: "Heavenly Doctor Star Girl, do you think... this is the end?"

I turned around suddenly and saw the shadow of the girl in the ice coffin reappear. A strange smile played on her lips. "The return of the fallen stars... has just begun."

Before he could finish his words, the entire submarine was suddenly pulled by a powerful suction force and fell towards the underwater ruins.

"Hold on tight!" Huang Junze held me tightly in his arms. Dragon scale patterns flowed around his body, forming a protective shield. The golden energy flow resisted the pressure from the outside world.

Yining hugged my legs tightly and cried fearfully, "Mom, I'm so scared." I gently comforted her, "Baby, mom and dad are here, don't be afraid."

However, the suction was too strong, and even with the protection of the Ziwei Fate, we were unable to resist it. The submarine fell rapidly, and the surrounding water turned dark, as if falling into an endless abyss.

"Luo Shu, don't be afraid..." Huang Junze's voice rang in his ears, "No matter what happens, I will be with you."

I closed my eyes, feeling his warmth, yet my heart was filled with unease. What exactly is "Starfall Returns to Origin"? Is Yuwenxue's plan really just about reshaping time and space?

Just as we were about to plunge into the underwater ruins, a blinding flash of light erupted from the submarine's base. I opened my eyes and saw the shadow of the girl in the ice coffin gradually dissipating. Her voice echoed in my ears one last time: "Heavenly Doctor Star Girl, karma is not yet resolved... We... will meet again..."

The light faded, and the submarine stopped falling. We hovered above the underwater ruins, and the surrounding water returned to calm.

"Is it over...?" I muttered to myself, my heart full of doubts.

Huang Junze let go of me and looked out the window: "No, this is just the beginning. Although Yu Wenxue's soul has dissipated, her plan...I'm afraid it has just begun."

I nodded and looked at Lin Chen. He had regained consciousness, but his face was pale and his eyes were full of fatigue.

"Lin Chen, are you okay?" I asked softly.

He forced a smile. "I'm fine... I just... I feel like I just had a very long dream."

I took his pulse and found nothing unusual. The truth behind the falling star's return to its origin, Yuwen Xue's true purpose, and the causal connection between her and us...all of this will be revealed in the future.

"Let's continue." Huang Junze said softly, "There are still many things waiting for us to deal with."

I nodded and looked out the porthole. The living meridians of the underwater ruins had completely collapsed, and the energy of the astral veins had returned to normal. However, I knew this was only the calm before the storm.

"Let's go." I took a deep breath. "We still have our honeymoon."

The submarine slowly ascended and headed towards the sea surface. However, just as we were about to leave this sea area, I seemed to see a pair of eyes in the depths of the underwater ruins, quietly watching us.

The submarine's metal hull made a sharp friction sound, and the dark red emergency lights inside the cabin spun wildly. I held Yining in my arms, huddled within Huang Junze's golden dragon scale barrier, watching the pilot use a robotic arm to quickly operate the escape pod's separation sequence.

"The propeller damage rate is 87%!" The Tianji pilot's electronic eyes flashed red, "We must abandon the rear cabin!"

Lin Chen suddenly rushed to the control panel. Although his fingers, normally paralyzed by stiffness as a patient with ALS, seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force. His stiff fingers traced the trajectory of the Big Dipper on the control screen—a star map memory lingering in his synapses during Yu Wenxue's possession. The newly formed star neurons of ALS patients and the navigation system emitted an icy blue data stream. He quickly entered a string of ancient star coordinates: "The quantum entanglement effect left in the astral veins can help us jump to..."

The metal shell of the escape pod presents an oxidized texture like bronze in the quantum foam. The binary code on the control panel resonates with the star pattern of the seven-star moxibustion box. Modern technology and ancient star arrays achieve a delicate balance in the dimensional folds.

Before I could finish my words, the entire submarine suddenly resembled a paper boat being squeezed by invisible giant hands, and space folded strangely before my eyes. Yining, in my arms, suddenly let out a silvery laugh. Her chubby little hand pierced the barrier and pointed at a distorted point of light outside the porthole.

“Look, Daddy! The stars are dancing!”

Huang Junze's dragon scales suddenly reversed, their formerly golden lines emitting a faint blue fluorescence, echoing with the dark blue crystalline energy of the astral veins. He groaned and hugged me tighter. "Something's wrong! The astral veins are rewriting the laws of physics..."

A tremor like the cry of an ancient whale echoed from the seabed, and the Seven Star Moxibustion Box on my wrist suddenly disintegrated. Seven bronze star keys hovered in the air, forming an energy matrix resembling the Big Dipper. The energy matrix enveloped our escape pod in a dazzling cocoon of light, permeated by an emerald mist.

"Is this... the guiding star array of Tianyi Star?" I looked at the star patterns emerging on the cabin wall in shock. The patterns that I had seen in the ancient books of my master were now flowing with liquid starlight.

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly turned pure silver. He turned his head stiffly to look at me, his voice echoing twice: "When the Big Dipper hangs upside down and the gate of the sky opens, the forgotten will eventually return..." This is clearly Yuwen Xue's tone!

Huang Junze's dragon claw instantly pierced Lin Chen's shoulder blade, only to find that star sand, not blood, gushed out of the wound. The entire escape pod was suddenly filled with a biting chill. The shadow of the ice coffin girl oozed out of Lin Chen's seven orifices, and her translucent fingertips gently brushed Yining's brow.

"What a perfect carrier..." Her sigh was accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering ice crystals, "More suitable to withstand the power of the falling stars than patients with ALS."

I frantically slapped the shadow, only to find my palm piercing through her body and pressing directly against Lin Chen's chest. The sound of a heartbeat beneath my palm chilled me to the bone—the damaged neurons of ALS patients were regrowing under the influence of astral energy, but the surface of those new synapses... was covered in tiny star-shaped crystals.

"Mom..." Yining suddenly reached out and grabbed the hair of the girl in the ice coffin, and said in a baby voice, "That sister's eyes are crying."

As if stung by these words, the shadow suddenly twisted and disintegrated. The escape pod completed a quantum leap at that instant. In the intense feeling of weightlessness, I saw a star mark shaped like the Big Dipper appear on the back of Lin Chen's neck, and outside the porthole was the emerald coastline of the Maldives - this was supposed to be the starting point of our honeymoon.

Huang Junze's dragon scale barrier dissipated in the sunlight, and he stumbled to one knee. His right hand had become strangely translucent. I rushed over to grab his hand and discovered that the dragon scales were absorbing the sunlight and converting it into astral energy.

"Junze! Your hand..."

"Shh." He covered my mouth with his still-moving left hand, his eyes fixed on Lin Chen, who was limp on the ground. "Look after the child first."

Yining was sleeping soundly on Lin Chen's chest. A faint star pattern appeared on her rosy cheek where the girl in the ice coffin had touched her. Even more terrifying was that Lin Chen's shrunken legs were healing at a visible speed, but his silver pupils had never returned to black.

The pilot's robotic arm suddenly sounded an alarm: "Residual high-dimensional energy detected! This escape pod...is not our submarine at all!"

Only then did I notice the metallic texture of the bulkhead—it was clearly the crystal structure of the astral veins, magnified ten thousand times. As sunlight streamed through the portholes, the entire escape pod began to collapse like melting ice cream, spitting us out onto the fine white sand.
