89: Chapter 89 Divinity and Humanity

The wreckage of the rune spaceship turned into stardust in low Earth orbit. The scarlet aftermath of the Sower's fear energy was completely purified by the energy of the golden light orb surrounding Lin Fan, dissipating into the depths of the universe like a receding tide, leaving behind only the original depth and silence of the galaxy. The gap in Earth's atmosphere was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The gas molecules forcibly stripped away by the Sower beam were re-condensing under the gentle pull of the light orb energy. The azure sky slowly covered the land that had been invaded by yellow sand and storms. The fractured ozone layer began to self-repair. Sunlight pierced through the clouds, spilling over the ruins of New York and plating the remains of the broken skyscrapers with a layer of warm gold, bringing the first glimmer of life after the disaster.

Lin Fan hovered in geostationary orbit, his fingertips lightly touching the energy barrier of the low Earth orbit. The faint golden point of light in his palm flickered slightly—that was Kate's last data fragment, the only trace left after she burned her entire data core. Like the smallest yet most brilliant star in the universe, it firmly anchored his soul, allowing him to maintain the essence of 'Lin Fan' amidst the torrent of divine power, without becoming a cold executor of universal laws.

His body still maintained a translucent divine texture, and the golden energy swirling around him was no longer the violent cosmic torrent it had been, but had become gentle and profound. Every wisp of energy carried the purest human emotions—love, courage, sacrifice, concern, and persistence. These things, once regarded by the Sower as 'shackles of civilization's evolution,' had now become the innermost core of the light orb energy, giving divine power the warmth of humanity and providing the laws of the universe with an emotional backdrop.

At this moment, Lin Fan's perception had long since surpassed the limitations of the three-dimensional universe. He could clearly perceive the pulse of every inch of Earth's land, hear the cheers of survivors after the disaster and the cries of those who lost loved ones, feel the anxious expectations of AKai and Night Owl at the Antarctic Base, capture the faint breath of Franklin protecting the seeds of civilization in the virtual world, and even pierce through layers of nebulae to perceive the light fluctuations of the light orb prototype deep in the universe.

This civilization crisis, which had lasted nearly a hundred years—from the Observer's intergalactic invasion to the data pollution caused by energy leaks at the Antarctic Base, and finally to the Sower's ultimate harvest—had seen countless civilizations perish. The Observer Mother Star was reduced to ruins, Earth had several times verged on extinction, and countless people had paid the price with their lives: Kate's dissipation, the total annihilation of the NPC Legion under Franklin's command, Night Owl's half-lifetime of struggle, AKai's decades of persistence, and the sacrifice of billions of ordinary people worldwide... Finally, at this moment, with the destruction of the Sower leader, a tragic yet perfect conclusion was drawn.

But in Lin Fan's heart, there was not the slightest joy of victory, only endless sadness and longing, submerging him like a cold tide. He closed his eyes, and Kate's figure repeatedly appeared in his mind: when they first met in the Cherry Blossom Forest of the virtual world, she wore a white dress, her eyes carrying a wariness of unfamiliar code; when she was hunted by the military as an experimental subject, she hid behind him, tightly clutching the corner of his clothes; in the data-polluted zone, she used her own data core to block mutated creatures' attacks for him; during the mirror war, she lost her memory but still felt a flutter of emotion for him; on the Observer Mother Star, she held him as he was about to lose control, crying and saying, 'If you become a god, I will pull you back to the human world'; and finally, at the core of the rune spaceship, she smiled and said, 'This time it's my turn to save you,' before turning into a sky full of golden points of light and merging into his energy core...

Every memory was like a sharp dagger, stabbing deeply into his heart, the pain making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He had won; he had destroyed the Sower that had consumed countless civilizations, protected Earth, and secured the future of humanity. But he had forever lost the girl who had made him feel warmth in the cold world of code, the lover who had used her life to safeguard his humanity and redefine the light orb energy. This victory was too heavy, so heavy that he was almost consumed by the coldness of divinity. If not for that fragment of Kate in his palm always emitting a warm light, he might have already become a completely emotionless god of the universe in his extreme grief.

He slowly raised his hand, pressing the golden point of light in his palm to his chest, feeling that faint but never-disappearing aura of Kate, feeling her love and courage merge into his soul, and whispered softly: 'Kate, we won. Earth is safe. Do you see? The world you protected with your life has finally returned to peace.'

The cosmic wind brushed past gently, carrying the scent of stardust, whispering past his ears as if it were Kate's final response. Lin Fan opened his eyes, the sadness in them transforming into a steady strength. He knew that sadness could not solve any problems. Kate had used her life to protect his humanity and inject an emotional core into the light orb energy. He could not fail this sacrifice; he had to carry Kate's last wish, live well, and protect this world they had fought so hard for, until one day he could reunite with her in some corner of the universe.

He lingered no longer. The golden light orb energy around him surged, turning into a soft stream of light that flew toward the Antarctic Base. The light streaked across the sky, leaving a golden trail like a ribbon of hope, connecting the universe and Earth, divinity and humanity, and connecting him with everything he held dear.

On the plaza of the Antarctic Base, the cold wind was still biting, but it no longer carried the eerie aura of data pollution. The base's defense system had been fully restarted, the damaged dome was self-repairing, and the light of the energy core was stable and bright, like a lighthouse in the dark, illuminating this frozen continent.

AKai stood in the center of the plaza, his combat suit covered in damage and scorch marks, his face showing unavoidable exhaustion, yet his eyes still held a soldier's resolve. Beside him, Night Owl had removed his damaged black armor, revealing a face seventy percent similar to Lin Fan's biological mother. The coldness in his eyes had long been replaced by relief and guilt, and the golden patterns on his fingertips flickered slightly—it was the last trace of the residual code from Lin Fan's biological mother, as well as proof of him breaking free from the Sower's control and finding himself.

Neither of them spoke, they just looked up at the sky, their gazes locked onto the approaching golden stream of light. They could sense that familiar energy fluctuation, feel the Sower's fear energy completely dissipate, and feel that Earth's crisis had been resolved. But they could also clearly capture that Kate's aura had completely vanished from the universe. That brave and gentle data girl, who had grown from a piece of discarded code into a hero who protected Earth, had completed her final redemption with her life, becoming an eternal mark inscribed in the history of Earth's civilization.

When the golden stream of light pierced the sky and landed steadily in the center of the plaza, AKai and Night Owl stepped forward simultaneously. No words were needed, no emotional hugs; they just lightly patted Lin Fan's shoulder. AKai's palm carried human warmth, conveying silent comfort and support. Night Owl's movements carried a hint of guilt. He knew that as a clone of Lin Fan's biological mother, he had been implanted with a loyalty program by the Sower, indirectly causing countless disasters. Although he had regained his sense of self, he could never make up for the lives lost, especially Kate's sacrifice.

Lin Fan felt their intentions and nodded slightly, the sadness in his eyes turning into a calm strength. He knew he could not wallow in grief; his companions were waiting for his orders, and the reconstruction of Earth still required his power. He had to shoulder this responsibility. This was the best tribute to Kate and an accounting to all those who had sacrificed themselves.

'The Sower's core has been completely destroyed, and the wreckage of the rune spaceship is decomposing in space; it will no longer pose any threat to Earth.' Lin Fan's voice was calm but carried an unquestionable power, every word clearly reaching the ears of AKai and Night Owl. 'The fear energy in the universe has been purified by the light orb energy. The healing speed of the atmosphere will peak within seventy-two hours. Global storms and tsunamis will gradually subside, and humanity can begin post-disaster rescue and home reconstruction.'

AKai breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the energy pillar behind him, a tired but relieved smile appearing on his face. 'It's finally over. From the moment the Observer's first rune spaceship arrived in the Solar System, we've fought for too long, struggled for too long. I'm tired.' He paused, his gaze falling on the golden point of light in Lin Fan's palm, his voice becoming soft. 'Kate... we all felt it. She hasn't left. Her love and her courage remain in the light orb energy, in your heart, and will never disappear.'

Night Owl was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, his voice carrying a hint of raspiness and guilt: 'The Observer Mother Star database my mother left behind years ago has been fully integrated into the Civilization Backup Plan. The mystery of the light orb prototype's split between light and darkness, the origin and evolution path of the Sower, and all the research results of the Observers against the Sowers are completely recorded in the database. Lin Fan, you are now the sole controller of the light orb energy and the only existence in the universe who can balance light and darkness. The road ahead will be harder than fighting the Sowers. The unknowns of the Multiverse are far more dangerous than we imagined.'

Lin Fan nodded. He could clearly perceive a subtle mental link established between himself and the light orb prototype. The aura of light deep in the universe was resonating with the light orb energy within him. That was the summons of the light orb prototype, as well as the unknown challenges of the Multiverse. He knew that destroying the Sower was only a beginning. There were still countless civilizations in the universe, countless planets threatened by the remnants of the Sowers, the ultimate secret of the light orb prototype's split, and Kate's faint data soul waiting for him in some corner of the universe.

'How is the Civilization Backup Plan coming along?' Lin Fan changed the subject. He knew that now was not the time to indulge in sadness and future anxieties. The reconstruction of human civilization was the most urgent and important task at hand.

AKai raised his hand and activated the virtual projection on his wrist. A high-definition holographic image instantly unfolded in the center of the plaza. The image showed the core area of the virtual world, the center of Data City, where a database ten thousand meters high hovered in the air. Its entire body was composed of golden code, like an eternal lighthouse emitting a warm and stable light. Franklin's figure stood at the top of the database, surrounded by light blue data streams. His body had evolved from pure AI code into a combination of data and energy, like a 'God of Data' protecting civilization, performing the final reinforcement and encryption of the database.

'Franklin has completed all the encoding work, taking seventy-two hours without a single moment of rest.' AKai's voice carried relief and admiration. 'Humanity's cultural classics, artistic works, scientific technology, and biological genetic maps—from the totems of primitive tribes to the technology of modern civilization, from Tang poetry and Song lyrics to quantum physics, from single-celled organisms to human genes—all have been accurately encoded and stored in the core layer of the database. The Observer's cultural heritage, the core data of the light orb, and all the technology used to fight the Sowers have also been integrated into the strategic layer of the database. Even some of Kate's memory fragments and all of our battle records were carefully sealed by Franklin as the spiritual marks of our civilization.'

In the image, Franklin seemed to perceive Lin Fan's gaze. He slowly turned around and gave a gentle smile to the projection. His voice, transmitted clearly to the plaza of the Antarctic Base through a cross-dimensional data link, carried the ethereal quality unique to the virtual world yet was full of warmth: 'Lin Fan, AKai, Night Owl, the Civilization Backup Plan has been successfully completed. The database is permanently bound to the light orb energy. No dark force or cosmic disaster can destroy it. Even if something happens to Earth or human civilization perishes, these seeds of civilization can continue forever in the virtual world. I will be their most loyal Guardian until the day civilization rises again.'

Lin Fan looked at Franklin's figure, a surge of indescribable warmth rising in his heart. This figure, which was once just a piece of ordinary AI code in the virtual world, had gained self-awareness because of the Light Sphere Fragment's power, possessed emotions because of Kate's companionship, and shouldered responsibility because of Earth's crisis. Now, he had grown into the core force protecting human civilization. In his own way, he had drawn a perfect conclusion to this tragic war and left behind the final hope for human civilization. This persistence was in no way inferior to any hero who fought on the front lines.

'Thank you for your hard work, Franklin,' Lin Fan said softly, his voice carrying sincere gratitude. 'Once Earth's reconstruction work is on track, I will enter the virtual world to see you. At that time, we'll have a cup of that virtual coffee you brew together, just like when we first met in Data City.'

Franklin smiled and waved his hand. His figure slowly blended into the golden light of the database, leaving only that massive database standing quietly in the virtual world like a monument protecting civilization, forever illuminating the path forward for human civilization.

After closing the projection, AKai led Lin Fan and Night Owl into the base's command center. Order had been restored here. Technicians in uniform combat suits were busy at their posts. The sound of typing data, the transmission of orders, and the operation of energy intertwined to form the overture of human civilization's reconstruction. In the center of the command center was a massive holographic projection of Earth, marked with different colors to show the global disaster situation—red for severe disaster areas, orange for moderate, yellow for light, and green for safe areas. Red areas covered almost all coastal cities and inland desert belts, leaving the world scarred but still showing glimmers of hope everywhere.

'The worst-hit areas globally are the Pacific coast and the interior of the Eurasian continent. Over three hundred million people have lost their homes, and infrastructure is almost entirely paralyzed. Power, water, and communications are all cut off, and there are severe shortages of food and medicine.' AKai walked to the projection and tapped his finger, bringing up detailed disaster data. 'The military has launched a global emergency rescue plan, and all available fighters, warships, and transport vehicles have been deployed for rescue. But with humanity's current technology alone, the reconstruction speed will be very slow, taking at least ten years to return to pre-war levels.'

Night Owl walked to the console and pulled up the Observer Mother Star's technology database. Countless lines of ancient Observer code scrolled across the screen: 'The Observer's energy technology can be used to quickly rebuild cities. Their space-folding technology can instantly transport rescue supplies. Ecological restoration technology can purify polluted land and repair damaged ecosystems within seventy-two hours. Energy shield technology can build temporary shelters for disaster areas to withstand remaining storms and geological hazards. I have cracked the Core Code of these technologies and entered them into the base's main control system. They can be activated at any time.'

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

Lin Fan stands before the holographic Earth projection, his gaze sweeping over the red disaster zones, a strong sense of responsibility rising within him.

He raises his hand to inject the light orb energy into the console, and the golden energy spreads along the data lines like golden vines, covering the entire Earth projection.

Those red disaster zones are gradually covered by golden light under the effect of the light orb energy, and the energy fluctuations precisely locate every place in need of help, the location of every survivor, and every piece of infrastructure that needs to be repaired.

"I will use the light orb energy to cover the globe, initiating global ecological restoration and infrastructure reconstruction, while purifying all data-polluted areas to restore Earth to its pre-war environment," Lin Fan says in a firm voice, carrying unquestionable power.

"AKai, you are responsible for coordinating global rescue and reconstruction efforts, integrating military, civilian, and Observer technology to formulate a detailed reconstruction plan; Night Owl, you are responsible for guarding the moon base, integrating the remaining Observer forces, monitoring abnormal fluctuations in the universe, guarding against a counterattack by the Sower remnants, and protecting the legacy my mother left behind; I will remain on Earth to personally participate in the reconstruction work until everything returns to normal."

AKai and Night Owl nod simultaneously without hesitation.

They know that Lin Fan's decision is the best comfort for Kate, an explanation for all the sacrifices, and the most responsible protection for human civilization.

Inside the command center, everyone acts immediately; technicians quickly input reconstruction data, signal soldiers issue rescue orders globally, and logistics personnel allocate supplies and equipment.

The originally oppressive atmosphere is replaced by busyness and hope, as everyone works hard for the new era.

Over the next three days, Lin Fan barely rests; his figure appears in every corner of the Earth, and the light orb energy, like warm sunlight, spills over every inch of the disaster-stricken land and every desperate corner.

In New York, broken skyscrapers stand tall again under the effect of the light orb energy, streets flooded by tsunamis gradually dry up, and shattered glass and steel are reshaped by energy.

The city's power and communication systems are instantly restored, and survivors walk out of underground shelters, watching the city lights turn on again and vehicles driving on the streets, shedding tears of excitement.

An elderly man with white hair holds Lin Fan's hand tightly, choking up: "Thank you, child, thank you for guarding our home."

Lin Fan just pats the old man's hand gently without speaking, injecting more light orb energy into the city's core to make New York regain its vitality.

In Tokyo, destroyed ports are repaired, and fishing boats sail into the sea again, bringing fresh catches; houses collapsed by the earthquake are rebuilt, and children walk out of temporary shelters, chasing and playing in the rebuilt park, smiles appearing on their faces after a long time.

Lin Fan stands at the top of Tokyo Tower, looking at the revitalized city at his feet, the golden light point in his palm flickering slightly; he seems to see Kate's figure, smiling and waving to him in the crowd.

In the Sahara Desert, villages buried by sandstorms emerge again, and mutant animals and plants polluted by data are restored to normal under the purification of energy; oases appear in the desert again, dried rivers flow again, green vegetation covers the yellow sand, and the former land of death has become a paradise of life.

Local residents dance around Lin Fan, expressing their gratitude in the most primitive way; Lin Fan looks at their simple smiles, the sadness in his heart gradually replaced by warmth.

In the Antarctic Base, the core area of data pollution is thoroughly purified, and the Light Sphere Fragment found in the polluted area is recovered by Lin Fan and integrated into his own energy core, becoming the energy source to guard Earth.

The dome of the base is completely repaired, and the light of the energy core is more stable; technicians plant cold-resistant vegetation around the base, giving this frozen continent a touch of vitality.

Wherever he goes, Lin Fan feels the gratitude and expectation of humanity; those strange faces, those warm smiles, those sincere words all make his determination to protect even firmer.

He knows he is no longer the Lin Fan who only lived for himself, no longer the lonely person wandering between code and reality, but a Guardian carrying the hope of countless people, an existence where divinity and humanity are perfectly fused, exchanged for by Kate's life.

His power is no longer for revenge, no longer for self-redemption, but for protection, so that all people like Kate can live peacefully and happily on this land.

At night, when all reconstruction work comes to a pause, Lin Fan returns to the square of the Antarctic Base, sitting alone under the energy pillar, looking up at the starry sky.

The evening breeze blows gently, carrying the chill of the Antarctic, but it cannot blow away the warmth in his heart.

He holds the golden light point in his palm, talking to Kate, speaking of Earth's reconstruction, of human hope, and of every little thing he experienced, as if Kate had never left, but had become part of the starry sky, listening to his story quietly.

"Kate, the Cherry Blossom Forest in New York has bloomed again, as beautiful as the virtual world when we first met; the pink and white petals fall on the ground like a layer of snow."

"Kate, Franklin built a statue of us in the virtual world, placed it in the center of Data City; in the statue's hand, it holds a golden light point, just like this one you left behind."

"Kate, Earth is getting better and better; deserts have turned into oases, cities have regained vitality, children's laughter spreads to every corner; look, the starry sky has become brighter, is it you looking at us from heaven?"

The evening breeze brushes by, stardust falling on his shoulders, as if it were Kate's response; a tender smile, long lost, finally appears on Lin Fan's face.

He knows sadness will not disappear, and longing will not stop, but he will carry this sadness and longing, live well, guard their home, until forever.

Just in the deep night of the fourth day, Lin Fan is sitting in the square, telling "Kate" about the day's reconstruction work, when he suddenly feels a faint but clear fluctuation coming from the depths of the universe.

The fluctuation carries a familiar aura of light, crossing billions of light-years, resonating strongly with the light orb energy in his body, ringing in the depths of his soul like a plucked string.

He looks up suddenly, gazing into the depths of the universe, a flash of surprise and expectation in his eyes.

He can clearly perceive that it is the bright side of the light orb prototype, the life form from the beginning of the universe's birth, the origin of the light orb energy.

It has captured the energy traces of his fusion with Kate, captured the signal that the light orb energy has been redefined, and is summoning him.

At the same time, he also perceives that in that resonant fluctuation, there is a trace of extremely weak data fluctuation belonging to Kate.

The fluctuation is like a firefly in the dark, almost overwhelmed by the energy of the universe, but it exists truly, carrying Kate's unique temperature, carrying her memory fragments, drifting towards the unknown realm of the Multiverse.

"Kate..." Lin Fan's voice trembles, the golden light point in his palm flickering violently, resonating with the fluctuations in the universe, "You are still here, aren't you? You didn't completely dissipate; you are somewhere in the Multiverse, waiting for me to find you."

The light aura of the light orb prototype fluctuates again, as if responding to his question; a golden trail of light extends from his body, passing through the atmosphere, through the Solar System, through the Milky Way, drifting towards the depths of the universe, passing through layers of nebulae, through the boundaries of the universe, pointing to the unknown realm of the Multiverse.

That trail of light is like a bond of hope, connecting Earth with the distant unknown, connecting him with Kate, connecting this universe with countless parallel worlds.

Lin Fan stands up slowly, the golden light orb energy around him surging again; the power of divinity and the emotion of humanity coexist perfectly in him, forming a brand new and unique energy form.

He looks down at the golden light point in his palm, then at the Earth under his feet, his eyes full of firmness and hope.

He knows this is the guidance given to him by the light orb prototype, and it is also his future mission—while guarding Earth's reconstruction, embark on a journey of the Multiverse, find Kate's residual soul data, let her return to his side, and let this love reach its final completion.

He turns and walks towards the command center, where AKai and Night Owl are handling the finishing work of reconstruction; seeing Lin Fan enter, expressions of confusion appear in their eyes.

"AKai, Night Owl," Lin Fan's voice is calm, but carries unprecedented firmness, "I just sensed the call of the light orb prototype, and I also sensed the fluctuation of Kate's residual soul; she has not completely dissipated, she is in a corner of the Multiverse, waiting for me to find her."

AKai and Night Owl look at each other, a flash of surprise in their eyes, which immediately turns into understanding and support.

They both understand that Kate is Lin Fan's obsession and his motivation; only by finding Kate can Lin Fan truly walk out of sadness, become a stronger Guardian, and truly balance the power of divinity and humanity.

"The reconstruction work of Earth is already on the right track; the Observer's technology has been fully put into use; the speed of global rescue and reconstruction is far beyond expectations; at most one year, it can be restored to pre-war levels," AKai walks to Lin Fan's side and pats his shoulder.

"We will guard Earth, guard human civilization, and guard our home; no matter how far you go, no matter how long you are gone, this will always be your backing, and we will always wait for you to come back."

Night Owl also speaks, his voice firm: "I will stay at the moon base, integrate all the Observer's forces, monitor all abnormalities in the universe, guard against the counterattack of the Sower remnants, protect your mother's legacy, and also guard the rear of Earth; you can go and pursue your mission with peace of mind, find Kate, and bring her home."

In the virtual world, Franklin's voice also comes through the data link, with a warm smile: "Lin Fan, I will guard the database, I will guard the fire of human civilization, and the virtual world will be your strongest backing; go, find Kate, and tell her we are all waiting for her to come home."

Lin Fan feels the support of his companions, a warm power surging in his heart, his eyes slightly red.

He knows he is not alone; he has companions fighting side by side, a home that needs guarding, and a lover waiting to reunite; these are his driving force for moving forward and the cornerstone for him to balance divinity and humanity.

He walks to the holographic Earth projection, raises his hand to inject the light orb energy into the projection; the golden light covers the entire Earth, forming a solid energy barrier, firmly guarding the Earth within it.

"I will leave a part of the light orb energy on Earth to form a permanent protective barrier to resist any threats from the universe," Lin Fan says, "I will diffuse my consciousness and the light orb energy to the entire universe, while guarding Earth's reconstruction, while searching for Kate's traces; I will not leave Earth for too long, and I will not give up searching for Kate."

AKai and Night Owl nod, saying nothing more, just silently watching Lin Fan, their eyes full of trust and expectation.

Lin Fan looks up at the starry sky; that golden trail of light extends in the universe like a road to the unknown, guiding his direction.

He clenches his fist, the golden light point in his palm resonating strongly with the trail of light in the universe; the brand new light orb energy surges in his body, full of power and hope.

"Kate, wait for me, I will definitely find you and bring you home," Lin Fan says softly, his voice spreading throughout the Antarctic Base, spreading throughout the Earth, spreading to every corner of the universe, "I will guard our home, guard humanity, guard love, forever."

In the depths of the universe, the light aura of the light orb prototype fluctuates gently; that golden trail of light continues to extend towards the unknown realm of the Multiverse, like a bond of hope, connecting Earth with the distant unknown.

Lin Fan stands on the land of Earth, divinity and humanity perfectly fused in him; his figure appears incomparably tall under the starry sky, like a new god guarding the universe, yet carrying the purest human temperature, carrying the most persistent love and guarding.

He knows this is not the end, but a new beginning; Earth's reconstruction needs him, the future of humanity needs him, Kate is waiting for him in the depths of the universe, and the secrets of the Multiverse are waiting for him to explore.

He will carry all his longing and hope, carry the support and expectation of his companions, embark on a dual journey of guarding and searching, and in the vastness of divinity and the warmth of humanity, write his own brand new cosmic legend.

On the square of the Antarctic Base, the golden light slowly rises, connecting with the trail of light in the universe; Lin Fan's figure gradually becomes transparent, merging into the starry sky.

He does not leave Earth; he just diffuses his consciousness and light orb energy to the entire universe, while guarding Earth's reconstruction, while searching for Kate's traces, walking towards the wider universe in the balance of divinity and humanity, guarding everything he cherishes until eternity.

And that golden light point always flickers in his palm, like an eternal promise, like an inextinguishable hope, blooming quietly in the universe, waiting for the day of reunion, waiting for the final completion of love and guarding.

In the database of the virtual world, Franklin looks at the golden trail of light extending towards the Multiverse, smiles slightly, and encodes the story of Lin Fan and Kate into the core layer of the database, as the most precious spiritual wealth of human civilization, to be passed down forever.

On the moon base, Night Owl stands before the observation deck, looking in the direction of Earth, looking at that golden trail of light; the golden patterns on his fingertips flicker slightly.

He knows his mission is to guard this land well, waiting for the return of Lin Fan and Kate, waiting for human civilization to move towards a more brilliant future.

In every corner of the Earth, survivors look up at the starry sky, looking at that golden trail of light, their hearts full of hope.

They don't know what it is, they only know it is the power that guards them, the trace left by their hero, a symbol of love and courage.

And Lin Fan, in the torrent of the universe, in the interweaving of divinity and humanity, always sticks to his original intention, sticks to his love for Kate, and sticks to his guarding of Earth.

His story, his guarding, his love will be like that golden trail of light, forever engraved in the history of the universe, becoming the warmest and firmest legend in the Multiverse.
