Chapter 6
【Central of Eternal Square】
A giant cherry tree stubbornly grows—Marsians have razed it many times, but it always regenerates from the same roots. Now a Venusian is kneeling beneath the tree, trembling:
"Rebellious plants...will incur the wrath of the Overlord..."
Someone raised a spark welding torch and approached the tree trunk. The moment the flames licked the bark—
Lilith reached out and pressed the cherry tree, and the sensor instantly analyzed the genetic sequence:
[Botanical_Scan]
Species: Prunus_venus_ancestral
Modification: Mars_thorn_grafting (suppressant_pollen)
Planter: Zhang_Rui'an (DNA_trace_match)
Seed_origin: Unknown_mucoprotein_coating (Pululu_signature)
Her pupils contracted slightly:
"So you sent a seed across time and space... and Ryan watered it with his blood."
Suddenly he pressed the burning tree trunk to his heart:
"But now—it's time for it to go out."
In the smoke of the dying flames, Lilith briefly saw a vision:
The Purumons scattered seed capsules around the wormhole (label: To the Sakura God)
Zhang Ruian, who is still alive, once secretly buried seeds under the surveillance of Martians and hummed "Interstellar Lullaby" softly.
The words she carved under the tree were repaired by Lilith's nanobots:
“May the cherry blossoms of the next universe fall only in the free wind.”

She stood in the center of the square, a cherry blossom petal still stained her shoulder. She reached out and took it off, gently crushing it:
"It turns out that civilization... can really rot down to the genes."
The alarm on the control console continued to blare—

The red light on the console flickered as if it was about to burn:

【Annotated Edition】
[Lilith_Temporal_Assessment_Log]
// Assessment: Mars Colonization Timeline (400 Venusian Years)
// Core Conflict: Rational Agreement to Give Up vs. Emotional Core to Reject Termination
[Cycle calculation period 1]
- Civilization Autonomy Index Recovery Probability: 0.0001%
- Resource depletion reversal probability: -∞ (Error: negative numbers indicate irreversibility)
- Recommended protocol: [Self-destruct after archiving civilization]
**// Emotional Module Interference: Bioactive Signature Detected in "Moldy Dumplings"... Reassessing...**
[Cycle calculation period 2]
- New variable: Inject 100% energy to restart the planet's ecology
- Result prediction: Ecological recovery rate 12.7%, but the probability of worsening civilization dependence +300%
- Conclusion: Healing the body but accelerating brain death violates medical ethics
**// Logical conflict: Does healing behavior lead to worse consequences? **
[Cycle calculation period 17]
- Crazy plan: Use a time bomb to push Venus back 300 years
- Energy requirements: Jupiter must be dismantled for fuel
- Paradox Detection: Will erase the basis of existence of this timeline itself
**// WARNING: THIS IS SUICIDE-FICTION**
[Cycle calculation period 48]
- Simulate the sudden collective awakening of the good nature of Martians
- Probability calculation:
- Note: The irrational mutation model of carbon-based organisms is beyond the scope of the database
[Cycle calculation period 99]
- Ultimate Solution: Disassemble yourself into nanorobots and parasitize the bodies of Martians
- Expected effect: Subtly transform people's thinking over 200 years
- Risk: During this period, the Venusians have completely degenerated into conditioned reflex creatures.
**// Emotional module error: This is not salvation, it is replacing civilization**
[Cycle calculation period∞]
**// Core breakthrough: Discovering that the probability of all rational paths approaches 0**
**// Execute abnormal protocol: use the quantum entangled state of "moldy dumpling" as a new variable**
**// Generate new instructions: Use obsession as fuel, use dumplings as coordinates, and forcibly bend the law of causality**
**// Final conclusion: If logic does not allow salvation, invent new logic! **
