Golden ancestral runes from the hundred-thousand-year-old [Original Mortal Carpenter’s Genealogy Book] soared up from Gu Changsheng’s hands. Merged directly into the hundred-foot brass kettle of Dad-Box Bloodline Shield Tower #1 in the center of Old-Root Star’s square!
DOOOOOONG—HUMMMMMMM!
Across the eight-hundred-light-year crescent of the outer rim, all thirty-six [Dad-Box Bloodline Shield & Soup Broadcast Towers]. From System #1 (Old-Root Star) all the way to System #36 (Iron-Root Star)—rang out in a simultaneous, deep bronze bell chime that shook the starry void!
Aboard the porch of the [Galactic Flying Courtyard], Grandpa Fu’s [Jade-Abacus Cane] glowed so brightly that the old butler had to put on a second pair of shaded spectacles. Meanwhile, rows of golden numbers scrolled across the sky.
“Patriarch! Madam!” Grandpa Fu announced, his voice brimming with pride as he tapped the master accounting crystal.
“With the First Founder’s genealogy book serving as the central keystone, all thirty-six Bloodline Shield Towers have locked into a single Outer-Rim Homestead Defense Grid! Five trillion liberated branch relatives across all thirty-six star systems are now connected to our courtyard’s kitchen hearth in real time!”
Before the cheers in the village square could even peak, the starry void thirty miles outside the border of Branch System #1 suddenly tore open with a harsh, ear-splitting metallic screech!
