Sizzle——!!!
The dark purple, polluted energy erupting from the Seed of Entropy and filling the temple was like encountering its natural enemy! Like a scalding knife cutting through solidified butter, it silently...melted away! It wasn't annihilated, but completely assimilated and absorbed by the newly formed, fused sparks and icy flames...becoming part of the new power!
The purple-black contamination lines on Lin Mo's left face disappeared instantly, and the crystallized area bloomed with a dark gold luster as warm as jade, as deep as the starry sky.
The cold torrent of formatting instructions deep in Xu Shuangyao's soul subsided like waves hitting a reef, and her ice-blue eyes were as clear as water, reflecting the new starry sky.
The collapse of the life support capsule ceased, and the raging entropy within the temple seemed to have been reversed. Shattered glass healed, evaporated nutrient solution flowed back, and the temperature returned to a constant warmth. Dr. Owen struggled to raise his head, watching this miraculous reversal. Tears streamed down his face, but he couldn't utter a single sound.
Buzz——!!!
A soft beam of light, indescribable in color, seemingly encompassing all the possibilities of the universe, gently emanated from the axis connecting Lin Mo's left eye and Xu Shuangyao's—from the absolute core where their will and power perfectly merged. It wasn't an attack, but... a declaration of existence itself! It was the ultimate answer... bred from sacrifice and hope!
A beam of light gently swept through every corner of the temple. Wherever it passed, wounds were healed, despair was dispelled, leaving only tranquility and new life. It penetrated the temple's alloy dome, disregarding the distance of space, and gently sprinkled onto the azure sky of Dawn Star, sprinkled to every corner of the new home star vortex, and sprinkled to the two star monuments that quietly hovered in the depths of the starry sky.
Wherever the beam of light passed, the people on Dawn Star who were busy with post-disaster reconstruction stopped their work and looked up at the sky. An indescribable warmth, tranquility and hope filled their hearts, and tears unconsciously flowed down their faces.
A beam of light swept across the Star Monument, its dark gold and frost-blue body radiating a gentle sheen. The names of the victims on it seemed to be infused with life, emitting a soft glow. The roots of order emanating from the monument's base suddenly accelerated in growth, entwining and merging like living things. The purple chaos swirling within the rifts of the Sea of Entropy was pushed back and purified at a visible speed, the edges of the rifts rapidly healed and reinforced by the interwoven fabric of dark gold and frost-blue order.
The beams of light finally converged, like a gentle paintbrush, clearly outlining an eternal picture in the blue sky above the Dawn Star, in the eyes of all the stars-gazing lives in the new home:
Two massive star monuments stood side by side atop the healed scars of the universe. Atop them, Lin Mo and Xu Shuangyao stood side by side. Lin Mo's left eye shone with a warm, dark-gold galaxy, while Xu Shuangyao's body was enveloped by a tranquil, frosty blue starlight. Their figures were unclear, yet they exuded an eternal aura of protection and rebirth. Behind them lay their vibrant new home, the star vortex, the hopeful Dawn Star. Beneath the image, a line of starlight gently etched itself into the hearts of all living beings:
Sacrifice builds a monument, and sparks illuminate the way home.
The body bears a heavy weight, while the heart burns the lamp of eternal night.
The beam of light slowly dissipated.
Inside the "Origin" Temple, there is absolute tranquility and peace.
The life support pod had long since dissolved in the beam of light. Lin Mo and Xu Shuangyao hovered quietly in the center of the temple, a gentle aura of dark gold and frost blue flowing around them. Lin Mo's left cheek was as crystalline and smooth as jade, his eyes deep, as if bearing the mysteries of the entire starry sky. Xu Shuangyao's icy blue eyes were clear and serene, no longer a trace of coldness, only the clarity and gentleness of having experienced the vicissitudes of life. Their hands, at some point, gently and naturally clasped together. There were no words, only a quiet and warm current that resonated from the depths of their souls.
With the help of medical staff, Dr. Owen stood up tremblingly. Looking at the two figures in the center of the temple that seemed like the incarnation of the starry sky, a pure and unclouded smile finally bloomed on his tearful face.
Dawn Star, Dawn Harbor.
The vast airport platform was packed with survivors. The children stopped crying, tilted their heads upward, and pointed at the fading yet eternally engraved starry sky, letting out childish exclamations. The adults supported each other, tears flowing freely, but it was no longer sorrow, but rather the shock and relief of witnessing a miracle, of touching eternity.
Deep within the starry sky, the vast scar that once tore the universe apart—the Entropy Rift—has vanished. In its place, two stellar monuments, composed of pure will and reborn laws, hover silently like eternal beacons. Between the monuments, roots of order, dark gold and frost blue, perfectly intertwine, forming a new star field, stable, gentle, and vibrant. The light of the vortex of their new home, the star, flows unimpeded through the monuments, spilling into the depths of the universe.
Lin Mo and Xu Shuangyao's figures, shrouded in the morning light of the Dawn Star, transformed into two gentle streams of light, lightly descending upon the vibrant earth. They no longer needed the shelter of the Ark. With every step they took, withered vegetation revived, cracked earth healed, and chaotic energies returned to peace. They were walking monuments, living laws, nurtured by sacrifice and hope... The fire of the starry sky, eternally burning, illuminated the way home and protected this hard-earned... eternal dawn.
Xu Shuangyao tilted her head slightly, her icy blue eyes reflecting Lin Mo's gentle profile. In the morning light, she raised her other hand and, with extremely gentle fingertips, touched the crystal on Lin Mo's left cheek, which held the starry sky. The warm touch was like touching the heartbeat of the universe. Lin Mo seemed to sense it, and his deep eyes reflected her clear light. A gentle smile, like a pebble dropped into a quiet lake, spread silently between their eyes.
They stood side by side, on the vibrant land of Dawn Star, in the morning light of their new home. Behind them was the healing starry sky, an eternal monument. Before them lay the endless passage of time, an endless sea of stars.
The starry sky is a monument, recording the past.
The fire in my heart will always burn, lighting the way home.
They are monuments.
They are the way home.
The starry sky is forever burning, and this place is always bright.
