The sequential collection on the secondary claim continued without pause or negotiation. Residual investment drove the parallel percentage higher in steady increments while the primary second-stage claim remained under sustained pressure that kept the god-heart remnant and the permanent predecessor awareness locked in continuous containment. The residual wills had chosen the order of finish and were executing it with mechanical patience.
[Secondary residual claim (Feng Lan): 69%]
Feng Lan held under the focused sequence through continuous control and the last usable output of her Rebirth Eyes. Each forced residual flare she drove into the collection raised the immediate cost for the residual wills and expanded the permanent lattice further in the same breath. The flares no longer delayed the percentage climb. They only made the residual wills spend more residual energy to achieve the same result. The dark branching structure in her channels deepened with every increment.
