“The starry sky is vast and endless. We can’t just stop here.”
In the end, it was the simplest motivation from the birth of civilization that made the decision.
How did the Earth form? What was the rotation pattern of the sun, moon, and stars? Were there other lifeforms like them beyond the horizon?
When life looked at the stars for the first time, that curiosity towards the unknown became an inextinguishable motivation for civilization as a whole.
Even in the darkest era, there would always be people who held expectations for the future and worked hard until the last moment. Even if things could not be done in the end, they could still say without regrets, “We no longer have any regrets.”
“There are still many things we haven’t understood, and we haven’t seen the origin and end of the universe. Fighting out of the cold era hasn’t made us forget our initial motivation.”
“Although we personally ended countless of our former companions, their history and memories were not lost. Instead, they became a part of us.”
“Genes have memories, and the soul also has weight. We did not advance alone. The past of 460 civilizations traveled with us.”
“Therefore, now… is far from the time to stop.”
The Lightchaser Leader calmly voiced his thoughts.
Since the Firechaser thought that he only needed to ask for his opinion, he did not hesitate.
Life had two sides. Whether it was positive or negative, it was a part of life. He had once despaired, but now he yearned for the light.
Not everyone was born noble, and not everyone was born despicable. Conflicting personalities and emotions could exist at the same time. Only then could life’s epic be written.
They had already come this far from the brutal battle between civilizations. There was no reason for them to stop here. Even if the outcome was dark, they had to see it with their own eyes.
The viewing platform fell silent again.
There seemed to be the sound of wind in the environment where there was almost no air convection due to the failure of the life-support device.
The translucent plant was shaking slightly, but the flow of liquid in its veins was much slower, as if a person was gradually calming down from his high emotions. This seemed to be what the Firechaser was feeling at the moment.
The fluorescent light of the plant itself still illuminated this place, but it was a little brighter than before, illuminating the figures of the Lightchaser Leader and the Firechaser.
After a long silence, the Firechaser suddenly smiled. The depressed aura from before was swept away. Even the forged body seemed to be glowing, dispelling all the gloominess.
“…Very well. This is how it should be. Life is a process of constant struggle. Only by working hard can one not fall behind on the path of civilization…”
He seemed to be sighing as he walked back into the withered bud.
The entire Homeship’s vegetation began to tremble with his movements. The translucent surface of the plant began to overflow with specks of brilliance, drifting in the air like fireflies.
He sat in the flower bud and looked at the Lightchaser Leader not far away under the illumination of countless fluorescent lights. He calmly said,
“You’re much better than us. The advancement of civilization is a whole thing, but if there’s a strong leader at the front, many difficulties will be solved.”
“Unfortunately, we can’t help you much, nor can we let you leave this place. However, we believe that your path of civilization will not end here.”
“Go back. Your civilization still needs you. Unite all the help you can find and live from this shrinking world to death.”
More and more fluorescent lights floated out of the covered plants and filled the entire sky, reflecting on the ground like a galaxy.
The translucent plants gradually became opaque as the fluorescent light overflowed. At the same time, they stopped trembling, as if they had broken free from the shackles of tens of billions of years of sin and obtained a sleep that would never recover.
The Lightchaser Leader also understood that it was time for him to leave. He had already understood the inducement of darkness. Now, he needed to find the answer with the people.
Looking at the Firechaser representative who looked exactly like them, he wanted to say something, but it was difficult for him to say anything in his calm demeanor.
He knew that this might be the last time they would meet the Firechaser.
This civilization that brought birth and destruction at the same time should have died long ago. This encounter was just a coincidence.
They were people that had perished in the last era, but the path of the Lightchaser hadn’t ended yet.
Finally, he turned around and disappeared into the tower.
As for the Firechaser, who had transformed into a Solar Engineer, he looked at the sky that was filled with fireflies and was thinking about something.
The Lightchaser Leader reappeared on the Dawn Song Homeship, much to the relief of the scientists searching for him.
Seeing him come down from the spaceship alone, some people couldn’t help but be curious about where he went.
However, the leader did not say anything about it. Instead, he immediately called back all the fleets sent to attack the Firechaser and stopped their attacks.
At first, no one who knew about this understood the purpose of the leader’s actions, but as he explained, it became clear.
However, what he did not expect was that someone did not believe everything he said.
“Ridiculous! Do you think we’ll believe this sect’s nonsense? Cold-bloodedness is the norm here. Isn’t this a plot by the Firechaser to make us lower our guard?”
“Why are you the only one called over? What right do you have to represent everyone? Shouldn’t the parliament be the highest authority of civilization now? Even if we have to make a decision, it should be all of us!”
“Leader—no, I should call you ‘sir’ now. 1 have reason to suspect that you’re being controlled by the Firechaser’s genetic technology. I request to initiate legal review procedures and temporarily revoke all your rights. Please go to prison!”
After all, he was the only one who had met the real Firechaser. Even after all the abnormalities that had happened before, they subconsciously still regarded the Firechaser as an enemy. Their suspicions were reasonable.
As for the Lightchaser Leader, he was a little flustered and hurriedly wanted to prove himself.
However, at this moment, all the lights in the parliament room suddenly turned off for no reason. On the large screen of the conference room, red characters with their words were appearing one by one.
[What he said is true.]
What changed along with the appearance of this character was the security equipment in the conference room. A large number of non-lethal weapons hidden in the building popped out and pointed at everyone in the conference room.
The scientists had no idea what was going on, but they were forced to believe this under the lock-on of their weapons.
However, when a few people realized what was going on, the scientists among them revealed incredulous expressions, as if they could not understand when that civilization had invaded their place through some medium.
The Lightchaser Leader also realized who had done this. He then looked at the large screen gratefully.
The only two civilizations that could interfere with them now were the Firechaser and the Administrator. It was obvious that the Firechaser couldn’t do such a thing in its current state, so it was obvious who did it.
They couldn’t be bothered to explain to the opposition leaders in the parliament. Their most important problem now was how to get rid of the hunt of the universe.
He originally thought that the shrinking world was a cosmic phenomenon they had encountered here, but he already knew from Firechaser that it was indeed a cosmic phenomenon, but it was targeted at them.
The reason was clear. It was because of a vital gene in their bodies. They could not even make any changes to that gene because it represented suicide.
Now, he needed to brainstorm and find a way to solve this gene. If they could remove this mark, this shrinking world might stop.
Finally, a biologist thought of something and said uncertainly,
“…According to the Administrator’s theory of evolution, certain lifeforms similar to us will experience completely abnormal growth during their development…”
“Is this…. a possibility?”
