"All the brilliance in life must be repaid with loneliness after all..." Xian Qianhua muttered to herself as she leaned against the window and looked at the vast stars.

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" by García Márquez?" Yan Sichen raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Well, this is my favorite sentence."

"I also like this book, but this paragraph is too sad to read." Yan Sichen lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Xian Qianhua looked at him but did not speak to continue.

…

"You said... can we return to Earth alive?" Xian Qianhua can't remember the time. She has been half asleep recently and can't tell the difference between dreams and reality.

"There is always a sense of unreality..." Yan Sichen is no different.

"That's right...not true..."

…

"I had a dream."

"Um?"

"In my dream, I saw a mountain floating in the sky, and the sea. Many people were leaning against the mountain to bask in the sun. There was a fish at my feet, a clown fish that was bigger than any ship. It got into the forest.

Deep in the depths, there are colorful ripples stirring, and many people are surfing there..."

"Hmm? Your dream sounds really special."

"I also saw the moon. It was penetrated and broken into many pieces. I couldn't see the familiar things on the ground... Is that still the earth I know?"

"You must be too anxious."

"No, I'm calm...I know I can't go back, we will all die here."

Yan Sichen stopped answering because he knew that futile consolation would not solve any problem. They indeed had no food and water.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Xian Qianhua's eyes suddenly became clear, and she made a romantic request.

Yan Sichen did not refuse, he accepted the invitation with a smile.

The two danced in the gradually weightless environment, and finally hugged each other tightly...

…

The above are perhaps the most authentic memories of Xian Qianhua, or in other words, the memories left by the real Xian Qianhua.

Later, she and Yan Sichen were rescued, wandered in the Holy Land of the Transcendent, got lost in the Origin Archives, and were trapped in the Mars camp for more than ten years... All of this was an illusion...

Hit rock bottom.

Seeing those hundreds of corpses, Xian Qianhua was not surprised at all.

Humanity is utterly defeated.

Haha...humanity has been utterly defeated.

…

It was 9 a.m. on May 11, 2755, and the Battle of Asia had been going on for three full years.

Su Yao, who was driving the Rover, had just returned from the Jupiter battlefield.

He brought back a very bad news - the rebels escaped, their fleet was ambushed, and many of his comrades who had fought alongside him for many years were killed in this terrible pursuit.

The "Yuankong", the flagship of the Yaxing Republic's first fleet, also suffered heavy damage. It has now lost its power source and has become a prisoner of the rebels.

This defeat may completely change the situation of the war.

…

"Where are the others?" Yan Zhongyu, the general of the "Changge" Army of the Republic of Jianmei Xingmu, is one hundred and thirty-nine years old this year. This age is in the prime of life for the third generation of super humans.

His adjutant is a descendant of the second generation of super humans, Lu Shaoyuan, who is only seventeen years old.

"Under questioning in the array room, the supreme leader is also there."

"The supreme leader is here too?!" Yan Zhongyu's expression changed. What he was most worried about happened.

"Yes, the forward position of Europa was destroyed, Yuankong was captured, and the captain Yin Siping was killed. I am afraid that this defeat will alarm sir."

Yan Zhongyu knew the consequences very well. He was silent for a while and then said: "Go and call Alan back and let her clean up this mess."

Lu Shaoyuan's mind was spinning and he quickly figured out the context. He admired Yan Zhongyu's calmness and ability to control the overall situation. But... it really doesn't make sense to let a "bandit" with a dirty record return to the solar system to clean up the mess...

Problem?

But this is not something Lu Shaoyuan needs to consider, he only needs to implement it according to Yan Zhongyu's instructions.

"Yes, let me know right away."

"Well, let's go, we can't let the supreme leader wait for us."

…

Lying in a shallow pool, Su Yao looked at the changing colors in the sky and understood.

This is what happens when the sequence in the array room is checking his built-in thinking core.

But he wasn't worried at all.

Jupiter's mistakes were all due to Yin Siping, the captain of the First Fleet, who was greedy for credit and rushed forward. His arrogance and underestimation of the enemy ruined more than 70% of the combat units of the First Fleet, a total of 5,513 people who had undergone mimicry crystal transformation.

The super soldier died.

Now Yin Siping is also dead, publicly executed by the rebels.

What does it mean for them to escape?

Su Yao sat up, her faith unshaken in her heart, but she was actually a little bit scared.

This has never been the case.

Ever since mankind entered the countdown to the expedition, Su Yao, as a third type of super human, did not know what fear was at all.

He is a warrior blessed by the old gods, the guardian of the solar system, and the pioneer of mankind's true transcendence. How could he be afraid?

But his hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably.

When the rebels who emerged from the darkness desperately rushed into the First Fleet's resistance field, their madness caught everyone off guard.

Even though she killed countless enemies in actual combat, Su Yao still failed to protect her team.

"What's wrong with me..." Su Yao murmured to herself.

As the words fell, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and then it started to rain lightly.

Su Yao raised her head and looked at the sky, hearing the patrolman's call in her ears.

…

The supreme leader has not appeared for many years.

It is said that in order to prepare for the "Origin of Fire" these years, he was listening to the teachings of the old gods.

This sounds really inconsistent with human scientific values... So privately, everyone will change their opinion.

The supreme leader is negotiating with the "god" of Shangyuan civilization in his own way, asking him and even what mankind needs at this moment.

That Holy Grail.

The "Holy Grail" made by Turaya and carrying the divinity of all the other four old gods.

Yan Zhongyu did not dare to look directly into the eyes of the supreme leader. He was as humble as a servant who had made a mistake.

The Array Room, which consists of 1,450 obelisks engraved with the mottos of the "Dead Sea Script", was originally prepared for the rebels. Here, no secrets can be hidden, not even the human heart can hide the deepest secrets.

Dark thoughts.

As the first senior officer to be analyzed by the array room, Su Yao didn't know whether it was an honor or a great shame.

From the time Yan Zhongyu came here to the time the supreme leader left, he was unable to say a word to the man who was closest to God.

Compared to that gentleman, Yan Zhongyu felt that he was supreme.

"Please follow me." The guide at the entrance of the array room was an ordinary human girl.

She was originally a member of the rebels, but here her mental shackles were opened, and her body and mind accepted the divine brilliance bestowed by the old gods, and thus she became a "model"-like existence and was left here.

Almost every rebel who was sent here later did not need to activate the array room. As soon as they saw this girl, their once extremely strong willpower collapsed.

Yan Zhongyu has not publicly expressed his views on this, but in his heart, he has a feeling of sadness that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead.

But he is a soldier, not a philosopher, so don't worry about those thoughts that have nothing to do with him.

…

After receiving Su Yao, Yan Zhongyu applied for a pass for him and asked Lu Shaoyuan to send him back to Earth.

On the way, Lu Shaoyuan and Su Yao started chatting.

But it has nothing to do with this seemingly endless war.

In the tenth year since the launch of the subdome core, the first central axis that once promoted the "Origin Draft" has been completely dismantled. Now there are only dense scars left on the earth, and the crazy magnificence of the past can no longer be seen.
To be continued...
