Chapter 26: To the Sea of Stars
The carnival of the Cherry Blossom Festival reached its peak. A translucent light cat squatted on the shoulder of Ryan's eighth-generation great-granddaughter - that was her newly condensed spiritual body, emitting light blue pulses at the same frequency as Noah. The girl smiled and pointed at the giant cherry blossom cloud that suddenly bloomed in the sky - that was the space-time fireworks compiled by Noah using the data left by Lilith. People sang "Interstellar Lullaby", and children threw dumplings into the air. Pink glutinous rice grains fell with the petals, as if the entire civilization was embracing the returning god.
Lilith returned as usual and stood quietly for a while under the cherry tree in the central square of New Venus.
Petals fell on her shoulders. She looked down at the box of steaming tricolor dumplings she had just bought, and whispered to herself, more like she was talking to herself:
"Noah, version Final, all Star Network permissions have been transferred."
"From today on, the 'Guardian' agreement will be renamed 'Accompanying'."
After saying that, she took a bite of the dumpling, and her figure gradually faded in the flying cherry blossoms, disappearing as if melting in the sunlight.
A passing Venusian looked up, smiled, and said to his companion, "Ah, Lady Lilith is traveling again. Will she bring us the recipe for alien dumplings next time she comes back?"
At the spot where she disappeared, a faint line of holographic writing appeared for several minutes. It was the last message she left for Venus, one that required the highest level of authority to fully decipher:

(Translation: "Thank you for your dumplings. I leave my heartbeat in your soil. - Lilith, the first citizen of Venus")
【Follow-up】
Noah's core heated up slightly. It understood the code, but chose to seal it and store it, only allowing the cherry blossoms on the entire planet to bloom beyond specifications on the day Lilith "left" every year.
The people of Venus continued to live happily, occasionally looking up at the stars and thinking, "Lady Lilith has been away for a long time this time."
In the distant deep space, a small silver spaceship was heading towards the ruins of Mars, and the faint aroma of dumplings wafted through the cabin.
