Amidst the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, Yunhai watched as the baby's pupils turned from gold to purple, her heart nearly stopping. She abruptly threw back the blanket and discovered that half of the jade pendant in the medical space was burning hot—a fragment left over from a thousand years ago when she made a pact with the sword spirit, now resonating with the baby's pupils.

"Ningning!" Yunhai roared and lunged out the window. In the spatial rift, Haitian, cradling the infant, knelt on one knee, the War God's Sword deeply embedded in the ground to support his body: "Quick! Awaken her divine phoenix bloodline with your blood!"

"No!" The voice of the Director of the Time and Space Administration came from the clouds, "She is my Mystic Maiden!" His figure twisted into a genetic chain shape in the clouds, "You think you can escape by reshaping time and space? This is the fate destined by your genes!"

Yunhai bit her finger, her blood drawing a six-pointed star on the glass: "Lin Yihai! Use your lightning magic to activate the gene lock!" Her special forces training memories suddenly awakened, "Xiaoqian, push me over there!"

Xiaoqian paused for a moment, then grabbed the EMP device from her wheelchair: "Understood!" She pressed the button, and the entire hospital's power system went out of control. "This is the EMP tactic you taught me back then!"

The clouds churned and shifted in the darkness, the special forces' combat skills flowing fluidly. The instant she leaped out of the window, she saw the genetic map within the incubation chamber flash in her pupils—her DNA contained the code for the fusion of gods and demons!

"Mommy!" The baby's voice boomed in his mind, "I am the aggregate of all time and space, now it's time to return to my origin!"

Yunhai twisted his body in the air, pressing half of the jade pendant to the baby's brow. Blood flowed along the jade pendant's patterns, activating a hidden genetic sequence. The baby let out a phoenix cry, and twelve pairs of wings in the shape of double helices of genes unfurled from its back.

"No!" A crack appeared in the director's genetic code. "How dare you activate her independent consciousness!"

"Self-awareness?" Yunhai sneered. "You think you can control everything just by creating life?" She took out silver needles and, following the "Gene Harmony Acupuncture Method" from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, inserted them into the infant's acupoints. "Lin Yihai, give me the maximum power of the current!"

"This will kill her!" Hai Tian roared.

"Worth it!" Yunhai bit his tongue. "Using my divine soul as a guide, I will unlock the genetic lock!"

An electric current stimulated the baby's nerves through silver needles, and seven colors flashed in her pupils—red (power), blue (wisdom), green (life), purple (time and space), gold (divine phoenix), black (demon), and white (nothingness).

"Success!" Yunhai laughed loudly, "So the ultimate form of the God-Demon gene is—"

Before she could finish speaking, the baby suddenly opened her completely white pupils. With a wave of her tiny hand, the entire hospital was swallowed up by a temporal turbulence. The last thing Yunhai saw was Haitian's terrified face and the bureau chief's twisted smile.

When she opened her eyes again, Yunhai stood at the edge of the universe. Countless scenes from parallel universes flickered in the void, each showing a different ending for her and Haitian.

"Welcome to the Gene Library." Ningning's voice came from all directions. "I am the aggregate of all timelines, and now it's time to make a choice."

"What should I choose?" Yunhai gripped the silver needles tightly.

Ningning's voice carried a divine majesty: "You can choose to erase the Time and Space Administration and return all time and space to peace; or preserve them and let genetic evolution continue."

Yunhai was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "I choose—to grant free will to each of us in every time and space." She inserted silver needles into her own genetic code, "including mine."

The entire universe trembled violently, and the gene library began to collapse. Ningning's true form appeared before Yunhai, tears welling in her eyes: "Mom, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"I know." Yunhai smiled and hugged his daughter. "But true love is letting go and allowing you to be yourself."

As the light faded, Yunhai found himself lying on his bed in Prime Minister Yun's residence. The peach blossoms outside the window remained the same, but now there was a little girl practicing acupuncture—Ningning.

"Mom, I've learned how to 'heal the sick'!" Ningning ran over, holding up her silver needles. "There was an injured little bird just now, and I used your acupuncture technique to save it!"

Yunhai smiled and patted her head, his gaze drifting to Haitian, who was practicing swordsmanship in the distance. The jade pendant bearing the character "Tian" on his chest echoed Ningning's jade pendant bearing the character "Hai," while Xiaoqian was teaching Lin Yihai how to grill fish, with laughter and playful banter occasionally drifting over.

"Madam, Master says we have a distinguished guest arriving today." The maid, Xiao Cui, brought in a bowl of medicine.

Before the words were finished, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the courtyard. A general in silver armor dismounted, the character "Hai" on his helmet gleaming in the sunlight.

“Haitian!” Yunhai blurted out.

The general looked up, a look of surprise in his eyes: "Madam, I'm back." He took off the jade pendant from his waist and matched it perfectly with Yunhai's jade pendant. "This time, I won't let you be alone again."

However, just as the two embraced, Ningning suddenly pointed to the sky and asked, "Mommy, what's that?"

Looking out over the sea of ​​clouds, the logo of the Time and Space Administration could be seen peeking out from a dark cloud. Even more astonishing, countless "Ningnings" emerged from the clouds, each with eyes of a different color—red, blue, green, purple…

“It seems our story has only just begun.” Yunhai gently stroked the jade pendant, a resolute glint in his eyes. “But this time, we will not back down.”
