90: Chapter 90 The Flame Burns Forever

The universe is a stretch of congealed darkness, where the wreckage of countless stars floats within the gloom. Those long-extinguished suns have turned into cold meteors, gliding silently through the void. The silhouette of the rune spaceship resembles a giant beast that has been dormant for eons, covering one-third of the Earth's sky. The dark purple patterns flowing across its metallic hull are like the blood vessels of some living organism, extracting oxygen atoms and energy particles from the atmosphere at a rate of thousands of tons per minute. Directly beneath the ship, the waters of the Pacific Ocean are pulled by gravity into a columnar fountain ten thousand meters in diameter. White spray freezes into ice crystals at the edge of the vacuum before shattering into countless shimmering points of light. The dunes of the Sahara Desert in North Africa are collapsing on a massive scale as scorching sand is swept up by invisible forces, forming a sandstorm that blots out the sun. Within the storm, lizards mutated by data contamination occasionally flash by—their bodies have grown metallic scales, and their eyes glow with a flickering red light as they struggle frantically amidst the weightless chaos.

AKai's voice came through Lin Fan's communicator, carrying the crackle of static and an irrepressible urgency, with the harsh sound of clashing metal in the background: "Lin Fan! The shield's remaining energy is at 17%, and the Sower's Stripping Program is still accelerating! I've injected all the remaining Light Sphere Fragments from the Antarctic Base into the shield core, but their rune energy is eroding our Defense Matrix—look to the east!"

Following AKai's prompt, Lin Fan turned his head to look. He saw that the shield over Earth's eastern hemisphere had already developed spiderweb-like cracks. On the pale blue energy barrier, dark purple runes were spreading wildly like moss. With every inch they spread, countless tiny specks of light peeled away from the barrier. Those specks of light were the molecules of Earth's atmosphere; once the barrier shattered completely, Earth's atmosphere would be entirely drained by the rune spaceship within ten minutes. At that point, all surface-dwelling organisms would perish in the vacuum and radiation.

"Franklin's NPC army has completely self-detonated in martyrdom," AKai's voice said with a hint of a sob. "Those NPCs... they clearly knew they were just lives composed of data, yet they still piloted their makeshift shuttles and crashed into the rune spaceship's energy nodes. The last to sacrifice themselves was the 'Guardian Squad'—the same knight NPCs you met before in the virtual world. When their shuttles self-destructed, I saw them on the monitor raising their knight swords and shouting 'For freedom'..."

Lin Fan hovered in the vacuum of space, his body enveloped in a layer of pale gold light orb energy. His left arm had become completely transparent; beneath the skin was no longer flesh and bone, but flowing cosmic particles. The energy he had obtained from the core of the Observer Mother Star was reshaping his form. He could clearly perceive every data node inside the rune spaceship, nodes as dense as a honeycomb, flickering with dark purple light. He could hear the Sower Leader's thought waves, which sounded like the grinding of metal—waves devoid of any emotion, containing only cold logical calculations. He could even touch the emotions of every human deep within the Earth. In a basement in New York, a pair of young parents held their child tightly, their fear like a cold tide. In an underground bunker in Beijing, a white-haired scientist hammered frantically at a keyboard, trying to crack the Sower's code, his despair tinged with a trace of indignation. In the slums of Rio de Janeiro, several children looked up at the sky through the gaps in their shelter, their eyes filled with confusion about the future.

This sensation of omniscience and omnipotence was causing Lin Fan's human emotions to drain away rapidly. He could clearly calculate the exact time the shield would shatter (8 minutes and 23 seconds) and predict the Sower's next attack vector, but it was becoming difficult to feel sadness or anger. He was like a precision instrument being stripped of all its sentimental components.

"Give up, Lin Fan." The Sower Leader's voice echoed directly in the depths of his consciousness. It was a low-frequency vibration without any emotional fluctuations, like the operation of old machinery. "You have become a being that transcends humanity. Why waste energy on these fragile carbon-based lifeforms? Join us and become a part of the cosmic rules. Together, we can reconstruct the order of all civilizations."

The core area of the rune spaceship slowly opened, revealing a black vortex hundreds of kilometers in diameter. Suspended in the center of the vortex was a translucent Mirror Image—it was Kate. Her figure was bound by countless dark purple rune chains that were deeply embedded into her data form. With every contraction, tiny specks of light peeled away from her. Her eyes were tightly shut, and ice-crystal-like tears had condensed on her long eyelashes. Her data form was disintegrating bit by bit as the code fragments constituting her consciousness were being forcibly extracted by the dark purple energy within the vortex.

"She is the anchor of your humanity." The Sower Leader's voice carried a hint of subtle inducement, though this inducement was not emotional but based on logical deduction. "As long as you sever your emotional link with her, you can completely master the full power of the light orb. The light orb prototype is a cosmic-level lifeform; its energy is sufficient for you to create a brand new, perfect Kate—one without pain, without memories, and forever loyal to you. But if you choose to save her, you will never break through the shackles of human emotion and will forever remain only a half-baked 'god'."

Lin Fan reached out his right hand, his fingertips touching the rune chains surrounding Kate. Cold energy instantly invaded his consciousness, coiling around his thoughts like a venomous snake. Countless negative emotions rushed in like a tide—there was the fear Kate felt when she was imprisoned by the military as a child: in a cramped laboratory under harsh white lights, a researcher in a white coat approached her with a syringe while she curled into a corner, crying for her "mama" with no one to answer. There was the agony she felt when she was transformed into a data form: her body decomposing in a torrent of energy, her consciousness forcibly compressed into code, every byte screaming. There was the confusion she felt when she lost her memories: standing on the ruins of a virtual world surrounded by the unfamiliar "Light Sphere Race," not knowing who she was or where to go, only feeling a hollow void where her heart should be. And there was the despair of reunions followed by separations: in the data streams of the Antarctic Base, she looked at Lin Fan's face but could not touch him; in the deep sea of memories, she finally regained consciousness only to face the fate of her data dissipating.

These were all emotions deliberately amplified by the Sower. They were trying to make Lin Fan believe that human emotion was essentially a weakness, a shackle hindering evolution.

"Lin Fan, don't listen to it!" Kate's voice suddenly rang in his ear, weak yet clear, like a sliver of starlight in the darkness. "Emotions are not a weakness; they are the proof of why we are human!"

The Kate in the Mirror Image slowly opened her eyes. Pale gold light shimmered in her pupils—the light orb energy Lin Fan had previously injected into her consciousness. She struggled with all her might, and the rune chains let out a harsh wail under her resistance. Dark purple energy spread across her body through the chains, making her data form even more unstable, but her gaze was exceptionally firm, like a flame burning in a cold wind.

"Do you remember? In the deep sea of memories in the virtual world, you told me that true strength isn't about having no weaknesses, but about being willing to face all your vulnerabilities to protect what you cherish." Kate's voice carried a sob but was filled with power, every word striking Lin Fan's heart like a hammer. "I don't need you to become a god. I only need you to be the Lin Fan who would cry for me and take risks for me. If you become a cold cosmic rule, then I would rather disappear completely—because that version of you is no longer the Lin Fan I know."

Lin Fan's body trembled violently, and a faint flush of blood began to appear in his transparent left arm. Those emotions suppressed by cosmic energy were like seeds nourished by spring rain, taking root and sprouting once more in the depths of his consciousness. He remembered their first reunion at the Antarctic Base: back then, Kate was still in a data form, her figure flickering on the screen, her gaze toward him filled with strangeness and wariness, yet she had shed tears made of data when he said, "I've come to take you home." He remembered Kate's resolve when she wrote "Lin Fan, don't forget me" in the data stream: her consciousness had already begun to dissipate, yet she used her last ounce of strength to carve those words into the Antarctic Base's main database, just to let him know she had never forgotten their promise. He remembered her tenderness when she kissed his forehead in the deep sea of memories: she had just regained her memories and her body was still trembling slightly, yet she smiled and said, "You saved me again, you dummy." He also remembered how, on the spaceship during the interstellar expedition, AKai had secretly set the navigation AI to Kate's voice. Every time the ship started, that phrase—"Lin Fan, are you ready? Let's go"—would make him feel both embarrassed and nostalgic. On nights when he couldn't sleep, he would always speak his longing softly to the empty cockpit.

These memories were like kindling, reigniting in the depths of his dissipating humanity. Those emotions that had been drained by cosmic energy now transformed into an even greater power—purer than light orb energy and more resilient than cosmic particles.

"You are wrong." Lin Fan raised his head, his eyes becoming clear once more. His voice was no longer the hollow echo of the cosmos but was filled with human warmth and resolve, like the warm sun in the dead of winter. "Emotions are not shackles; they are the most powerful weapon."

He suddenly clenched his fist, and the pale gold light orb energy around his body exploded instantly, turning into a pillar of light that pierced through the universe. This pillar of light was more dazzling than any previous eruption, with a pink halo mixed into the golden radiance—the form of human emotion fused with light orb energy. He did not choose to sever his emotional link with Kate; instead, he proactively fused his consciousness completely with hers. Countless memory fragments danced and reorganized within their shared conscious space, forming a brilliant river of time: the innocence of their first meeting, the unspoken understanding while fighting side-by-side, the pain of parting in life and death, and the joy of reuniting. Those laughs and tears, that trust and protection, and those promises carved into the depths of their souls all transformed into the purest emotional energy, flowing incessantly into the light orb.

"Light Orb Protocol, rewrite." Lin Fan's voice carried an unquestionable power, a power derived not from the oppression of cosmic energy, but from the resolve of human emotion. "With human emotion as the core, initiate 'Emotional Radiation Wave'."

The pale gold light orb energy began to undergo a qualitative change. It was no longer pure cosmic energy but was tinged with a warm pink halo. This energy possessed no destructive properties, yet it carried a powerful infectiousness, spreading toward the rune spaceship like a tide. Wherever it went, the dark purple rune chains began to disintegrate. The code constituting the chains melted rapidly under the impact of the emotional energy, like snow meeting a fierce sun. The bio-mechanical hybrids controlled by the Sower ceased their attacks. The predatory glint in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by expressions of confusion—under the influence of the emotional energy, the suppressed biological instincts within them began to recover. Fear, curiosity, and the will to survive—emotions the Sower had deemed "useless"—allowed them to break free from the code's control.

The Sower Leader let out a piercing shriek. It was a low-frequency vibration devoid of emotion yet filled with logical chaos. To the Sowers, who were based on logic and rules, human emotion was an existence completely beyond their scope of cognition. They could understand the conversion of energy, calculate the rise and fall of civilizations, and control the flow of data, but they could never understand why someone would give up eternal life for another person, why someone would sacrifice their power for a group of "inconsequential" carbon-based lifeforms, or why such pure, non-utilitarian emotion could possess such formidable power.

"No! This is impossible!" The Sower Leader's thought waves became extremely chaotic. The dark purple energy began to spiral out of control, triggering a series of explosions inside the rune spaceship. "How can something as illogical as emotion dismantle our rules? The essence of the universe is order and cold logical calculation! The emotions of you carbon-based lifeforms are nothing more than flaws in the evolutionary process!"

The black vortex of the rune spaceship began to collapse, and those dark purple runes were fading and dissipating bit by bit. The Sower's core energy was being neutralized by the Emotional Radiation Wave. The system of rules they relied on for survival appeared so fragile and pathetic in the face of human emotion. It was like a precision computer falling into paralysis when fed a command it could not understand.

"Because you will never understand," Lin Fan's voice echoed through the universe, carrying a hint of compassion. "The ultimate rule of the universe is not cold logic, but love and protection."

Kate's Mirror Image slowly drifted to Lin Fan's side. Although her body was still continuously turning into points of light, her gaze was filled with happiness and relief. She reached out and gently took Lin Fan's hand. The moment their fingertips touched, countless golden specks of light erupted from their palms like a sky full of stars. Those specks of light were the manifestation of their emotions, each one carrying a memory, each one shining with the light of love.

"Lin Fan, I think I have to go now." Kate's voice was as gentle as a breeze blowing through the depths of Lin Fan's consciousness. "This time, I really might not be able to stay with you."

Lin Fan gripped her hand tightly, tears falling from his eyes and turning into translucent ice crystals in the vacuum of space. He could feel Kate's consciousness merging bit by bit into his own. Her emotions, her memories, and her soul would all become a part of his life, never to disappear. He could clearly feel her joy, her reluctance to leave, and her love. These emotions flowed through his body like blood, making his human form even more stable.

"It's okay." Lin Fan's voice was choked with emotion but exceptionally firm. "I will take your share and live on well, protecting everything we cherish. Earth, and the people we care about—I will protect them all for you."

Kate gave a gentle smile, one that bloomed like the first flower of spring in the darkness of the universe. She stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed Lin Fan's forehead, just as she had in the deep sea of memories. The warm sensation was transmitted through their consciousness, carrying her unique scent. "Remember, love is the only ultimate code. No matter where you go or what you become, as long as there is love in your heart, we will never be apart."

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

As she finished these words, Kate Rollins' body completely dissolved into a sky full of light particles, merging into the Emotional Radiation Waves surrounding Lin Fan.

Those light particles, like countless seeds, spread with the radiation waves to every corner of the universe—some landed on the soil of Earth, causing tender green sprouts to grow in areas previously contaminated by data; some drifted toward the ruins of the Observer Mother Star, causing golden flowers to bloom on the metal wreckage there; others flew toward distant galaxies, transmitting the belief in love and protection to those civilizations struggling to survive.

The Sower Leader let out one last desperate scream, a cry filled with the chaos and fear of collapsing logic.

The core of the rune spaceship completely collapsed, turning into a massive energy explosion.

A dark purple energy storm swept across the entire Solar System; wherever it passed, meteorites were shattered, nebulae were scattered, and the light of stars grew dim.

But protected by the pale golden Emotional Radiation Waves, Earth suffered no harm; that layer of warm light, like a mother's embrace, kept all the destructive energy at bay.

After the explosion, the wreckage of the rune spaceship turned into countless fragments, scattering throughout the universe and becoming a part of the Solar System.

Those fragments still retained a faint pink glow—the mark left by emotional energy—reminding all civilizations in the universe of how powerful an enemy human emotions had once defeated.

Lin Fan hovered in the universe, the pale golden energy around his body slowly receding; his transparent left arm regained its flesh-and-blood color, and the human emotions that had been slipping away gradually returned.

He could feel sadness, aching for the departure of Kate Rollins; he could feel joy, relieved by Earth's survival; he could feel responsibility, steadfast in protecting this universe.

He had not become a complete god, but instead retained the warmth and fragility of humanity, becoming a unique entity between a human and a cosmic existence—this was exactly what he wanted, for only in this way could he truly understand the meaning of life and truly protect the things he cherished.

He looked down at Earth; the blue planet was now enveloped in a layer of pale golden light, appearing exceptionally beautiful and peaceful.

The atmosphere was slowly recovering, and the waters of the Pacific Ocean returned to the sea, forming beautiful rainbows; the sandstorms in the Sahara Desert gradually subsided, revealing land that had regained vitality after being contaminated by data; the mutated plants and animals also gradually returned to their normal forms; lizards shed their metal scales, and birds grew back their colorful feathers. They ran and flew freely under the sunlight, enjoying the beauty of life.

AKai's excited voice came through the communicator, with the sound of human cheers in the background: "Lin Fan! We did it! We succeeded! The Sower has been completely wiped out! The shield has stabilized, the atmosphere is recovering, and communication in all regions has returned to normal—look, people are cheering for you!"

A tired yet relieved smile appeared on the corner of Lin Fan's mouth. He connected to the communicator, his voice raspy but full of strength: "AKai, I'm back."

"Welcome back, brother." AKai's voice was choked with tears, yet filled with joy. "You don't know how worried we were about you; your energy fluctuations suddenly became very unstable just now, and I thought..."

"Thought I would become something like the Sower?" Lin Fan chuckled softly, his smile full of relief. "It won't happen. I promised Kate Rollins that I would hold onto my humanity."

"By the way, Night Owl just cracked the Sower's last database and discovered a strange piece of information." AKai's voice suddenly turned serious. "The logs in the database indicate that before the core of the Observer Mother Star dissipated, the light orb prototype seemed to have proactively collected a trace of Kate Rollins' data fragments. Those data fragments were not contaminated by the Sower's energy; instead, they were protected by the core energy of the light orb prototype and are currently moving into the depths of the universe, with an unknown destination."

Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat. He closed his eyes and focused his mind to perceive every ripple in the universe.

In the distant depths of the universe, passing through countless galaxies and nebulae, he seemed to sense a faint but familiar data fluctuation—it was the aura of Kate Rollins, carrying the power of warmth and protection, along with her unique gentleness and determination, moving toward an unknown direction.

The fluctuation was weak but tenacious, like a spark in the dark, burning brightly no matter how many difficulties it encountered.

He knew this was not the end, but a new beginning. Kate Rollins might not have truly disappeared, but simply existed in the universe in another form, waiting for the day they would reunite.

And he would embark on a journey to find her, traversing countless galaxies and crossing countless light-years until he found her.

"I can feel it." Lin Fan's voice carried a hint of excitement and determination. "She is still there; I can feel her aura."

"Really?" AKai's voice was full of surprise. "Then can we..."

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded, his gaze fixed on the depths of the universe—a place of endless darkness, yet filled with endless hope. "We are going to find her, to discover the true secret of the light orb prototype, and to explore more of the unknowns of this universe."

He turned and flew toward Earth. Behind him were the stars filling the sky, the vastness and mystery of the universe; before him was the blue Earth, the home he needed to protect.

He knew the road ahead was long, filled with unknowns and dangers, but he would not be afraid, because his heart held love, the memories of Kate Rollins, and the support of his companions—all of which were the driving forces for him to move forward.

On the surface of Earth, AKai stood on the ruins of the Antarctic Base, watching the golden figure slowly descending from the sky, a relieved smile on his face.

Beside him, Night Owl stood quietly; the patterns on his armor shimmered with a pale golden light—the mark of the residual code of Lin Fan's birth mother, which was now resonating with the light orb energy on Lin Fan.

The visor of his armor had opened, revealing a face seven parts similar to Lin Fan's mother; his eyes no longer held the previous coldness and vigilance, but were instead filled with relief and determination.

"We won." Night Owl's voice carried a hint of emotion. He looked up at the sky, watching Lin Fan's figure. "Unexpectedly, it was human emotion that ultimately saved the universe. My mother spent her whole life trying to unravel the secret of the Light Orb and trying to find a way to counter the Sower, yet I never expected the answer to be so simple."

"Simple, yet the most powerful." AKai nodded. He took out a tablet, and the screen displayed real-time footage from around the globe—people walking out of shelters, hugging each other, some crying, some cheering, some praying. These real emotions formed the most moving picture. "The Sower was too dependent on logic and rules, yet forgot that the essence of life is emotion—it is love and protection. This is perhaps what they could never understand, and the reason for their ultimate failure."

Night Owl nodded gently, his fingers tracing the patterns on his armor—the legacy of his mother and his bond with this universe. "There is one more piece of information in the database. Although the Sower has been eliminated, they left behind many experimental grounds in the universe, and many of the civilizations they modified are still in chaos. Moreover, the secret of the light orb prototype has not been fully unraveled. Why did it split into light and dark sides? Why did it choose Lin Fan as the successor? These are all questions we need to find answers to."

"Then we go together." AKai's eyes were filled with determination. "We have already formed the Interstellar Civilization Alliance. Currently, scientists, soldiers, and engineers from various countries on Earth have joined, and some alien civilizations previously oppressed by the Sower have also proactively contacted us, wanting to join the alliance. We can utilize the technology of the Observer Mother Star to refit ships, build a fleet, and explore the universe together—to help those civilizations in need, to find Kate Rollins' data fragments, and to unlock all the secrets."

Night Owl turned to look at AKai, revealing a rare smile: "Okay, let's go together."

Lin Fan landed on the ruins of the Antarctic Base. Beneath his feet was broken metal and concrete; around him were humans rebuilding, and in the distance was the Earth, regaining its vitality. AKai and Night Owl came to meet him, smiles on their faces—the most sincere and determined smiles after experiencing life-and-death trials.

"Welcome home, Lin Fan." Night Owl said softly, his voice filled with respect and admiration. "You have done a great thing for this universe."

"It is not my credit alone." Lin Fan shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the ruins of the Antarctic Base, over the cities rebuilding in the distance, and over the satellites in the sky returning to normal. "It is Kate Rollins, it is Franklin, it is those sacrificed NPCs, and it is every person who worked hard to protect this Earth. Without them, I could not have achieved all of this."

He thought of Franklin, the former AI, the "Creator" who had created countless lives in the virtual world. To create an opportunity for Lin Fan to infiltrate, he sacrificed half of his NPC legions and finally even injected his own Core Code into the engine of the virtual world, providing the final energy support for Earth's defense. Although Franklin had vanished, his spirit would forever remain in the virtual world, remaining within those lives he had created.

"Franklin has not completely disappeared." AKai seemed to see through his thoughts and said softly. "His Core Code has merged with the virtual world, and the virtual world has now become an independent space with self-awareness. The surviving NPCs are rebuilding their homes there; they say they will always remember Franklin's sacrifice and will always protect that virtual world, just as they would protect their own homes."

Lin Fan nodded, his heart filled with relief. Franklin had protected the things he cherished in his own way, and that was enough.

"What should we do next?" AKai asked, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Should we rebuild Earth first, or directly build a fleet to search for Kate Rollins' data fragments?"

Lin Fan looked up at the universe, his eyes filled with determination and anticipation. In the sky, the pale golden glow had not completely dissipated—it was the mark left by Kate Rollins and the direction they would move forward. "We can do both simultaneously." Lin Fan said slowly. "You are responsible for leading the Interstellar Civilization Alliance to rebuild Earth, restore order in various regions, and at the same time refit ships and build an exploration fleet; Night Owl, you can use the materials left by your mother to continue researching the secret of the Light Orb and cracking the technology left behind by the Sower; and I will go into the universe first to search for Kate Rollins' data fragments. I will leave behind my energy mark, and you can find me through that mark."

"No!" AKai immediately objected. "The universe is too dangerous; who knows if there are any remnants of the Sower left? Besides, you just experienced such a massive battle, and your energy hasn't fully stabilized yet. Going alone is too dangerous!"

"I must go." Lin Fan's eyes were exceptionally determined. "Kate Rollins sacrificed herself for me and for Earth; I cannot let her consciousness drift in the universe forever. Moreover, the light orb prototype taking her data fragments must have a reason. Perhaps this is not just a simple 'taking away,' but a new inheritance, a new mission. I must go and find the answer."

Night Owl was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "AKai is right, the universe is indeed very dangerous, but Lin Fan's decision is correct. Kate Rollins' data fragments are not only related to her life and death, but also to the ultimate secret of the Light Orb and the safety of the entire universe. I can refit the fastest shuttle for Lin Fan, equip it with the most advanced defense and navigation systems, and input the cosmic star map left by my mother into the navigation; this will greatly increase his safety coefficient."

AKai wanted to say something more, but seeing Lin Fan's determined gaze, he finally nodded: "Fine, I agree. But you must promise me to be careful. If you encounter any danger, contact us immediately, and we will dispatch a fleet to support you at the first opportunity."

"I will." Lin Fan smiled and patted AKai on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I won't give up easily; I still have to come back and build this universe with you all."

As the sun set, golden sunlight spilled over the ruins of the Antarctic Base, coating this land, which had once been filled with war and destruction, in a layer of warm light. In the distance, humans were busy rebuilding their homes; the roar of machines and the cheers of humans intertwined, forming a moving song of life. In the sky, birds flew freely, their shadows reflected on the ground like dancing musical notes.

Lin Fan stood at the highest point of the ruins, looking at everything before him, his heart filled with emotion. He remembered what Kate Rollins had once said: "No matter how much darkness one experiences, light will always appear; no matter how many hardships one experiences, life will always find its own way."

Now, he finally understood the meaning of these words—light does not come from the energy of the universe, but from human emotion; hope does not come from the gifts of gods, but from mutual protection.

He closed his eyes, sensing once again that faint ripple of data flow in the universe—it was the aura of Kate Rollins, the direction he would move forward. He knew the road ahead might be filled with unknowns and dangers, but he would not be afraid, because his heart held love, belief, and those he wanted to protect.

"Kate Rollins, wait for me." Lin Fan said softly in his heart. "I will definitely find you; no matter which corner of the universe you are in, I will bring you home."

In the depths of the universe, a faint golden stream of data was traversing a nebula, moving toward some unknown galaxy. In the stream of data, a gentle figure could be vaguely seen; there was a smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with anticipation, as if she were waiting for the arrival of someone.

The curtain of a new era was thus raised. And Lin Fan and his companions, carrying that love and protection from Kate Rollins, would embark on a new journey—to explore the mysteries of the universe, to search for the hope of reunion, and to write their own legend.

The spark burns forever, and love never dies. This is the ultimate code that belongs to them, and also to the entire universe.
