I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 685 I will hold on until I die!
According to the intelligence detected by the Night Watch advance team,

They divided the clones into two categories, one of which was used as material for sacrifice.

The other type serves as tools to help them navigate the various legacies left behind by the former Twilight Star Cluster for the revival of civilization.

This may be our only chance of winning.
But
Their ambitions go far beyond this.

Blood Moon plans to create more clones on Earth-like planets and sacrifice them through some mysterious ritual to hatch the so-called "gods".

What this god is, I have no idea.

But I can feel the fear and despair it brings.

It is a force that is enough to destroy a planet. Once it comes, all life will be reduced to ashes.

Our time,
Cough,

There really aren't many left.

If an anonymous person can see this message.

I hope you can tell this to my comrades, because those who fight with me are your companions.

In order to prevent the last star track of Breeze City from being extinguished, we must strive to grasp the last hope.

and also,

thank you,
Friends who received this letter from me.

I hope you will remember:
You are not a clone, nor are you a replacement for anyone.

You just don't have a name that truly belongs to you, a unique person.

You are the hope of a civilization that was once in twilight.

Yes, the future will eventually belong to a member of the Galactic Federation,
They are our compatriots.

The long night is coming, and I will watch from now on until I die."

Joyce finished recounting the message she received from an unknown frequency.

The girl's face suddenly became less happy, and she whispered to Su Wen:
"Mr. Kevin,
Why do I feel so sad, so sad? "

Hear her say that.

Su Wen also rubbed her head gently during a long silence.

Subsequently,

He looked out at the elevator rapidly rising toward the sky and then slowly said:
"Joyce,

In this world, no one is born to bear responsibility and destiny.

Many people are just ordinary people.

They may have mothers waiting for them to come home for dinner, lovers who love them, and children waiting for their fathers to return.

They didn't have to make that choice.

They may have an infinite future.
They are still very young.

But that's what they did.

Why?

Su Wen, who was usually calm, sounded a little suppressed at the end.

because,

He knows the answer.

He knew the answer deeply.

Because he is also practicing,

He had gone further than them, but some people couldn't go that far even if they tried their best.

Therefore, more people can only stop somewhere and become a permanent [lighthouse]

Su Wen silently thought of the words written in "Zhuangzi·Shanmu":

You cross the river and float on the sea. You can’t see the edge when you look at it, and you can’t know where it ends the further you go.
Finally, he gave the final answer again:

"so,

They became the boat.
A small boat, a small boat that may be able to travel across rivers and seas.

But it is also possible that at some point it will be capsized and sink into the sea forever.”

And Jean also felt this emotion, the same feeling she had when she and Norma saw the bloody scene on the upper floors of the church:

"Mr. Kevin,
So, his last words haven’t been finished yet?”

Hearing her say this, Su Wen nodded slowly:
"Yes.

That is the oath of the Night Watchmen.

And he has always remembered those vows very clearly.

Even though it has been nearly a few years since the electromagnetic storm disaster that Binhai City experienced, he still remembers those night watchmen who sacrificed their lives on the front line of disaster rescue.

At that time,
He was powerless and could do nothing.

Perhaps, the only thing we can do is to remember their existence and remember that they once made a vow with such young faces.

Then, remember that they have slept forever in this land they have always loved,

And on Westminster Fire Night,

Su Wen calls himself the Night Watchman Rhine, perhaps to commemorate them.

He recited the vows word for word:

"The long night is coming, and I will watch from now on until I die.

I am the sword in the darkness, the sentinel on the wall, the fire that burns against the cold, the light that breaks the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that protects the realm.

I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch.

So tonight, every night.

Until, death.

You may not know that this sentence actually originated from a story, but after the resolution of the International Night Watch Council, it became a real oath.

It has become a mission that many people really need to remember.”

As his words fell,

When the elevator carried them across the fake and dim simulated sky, everything before their eyes changed drastically.

One after another, dazzling rays of light cut through the darkness. The darkness in front of Su Wen's eyes had been completely replaced by a clear and quiet deep blue that was close to pure black.

And those lights are the starlight from distant galaxies,
It is so bright,
So much so that they temporarily lost their perception of their surroundings.

Then,

More stars emerged.
They are intertwined to form a brilliant starry sky.

The dark sky before my eyes was replaced by this boundless starry sky. Every star was shining with its own light, some were as bright as diamonds, and some were as faint as candles.

Together, they formed a magnificent and mysterious cosmic picture, which made Joyce and others feel unprecedented shock and awe.

The original monotonous nothingness was suddenly replaced by endless starlight, brilliant and mysterious.

At this moment, they were actually standing in space, surrounded by densely packed stars that seemed within reach.

In an instant,

The stars are bright.

Countless elevators are traveling up and down the unsupported interstellar space along this huge twilight tower.

They are similar in shape.
Like a silver arrow, it pierces the starry sky,

Even each elevator represents a passage to a different interstellar space.

The running tracks of the elevators formed brilliant light tracks around the tower, which intertwined together to form a spectacular ultra-technological picture.

As the elevator goes up and down, the tower seems to emit a faint glow of waves in the universe.
Until this moment,

Su Wencai finally understood why the cultists dared to ignore the Night Watch's plan to keep humans in captivity in the Greystone City of Clemens.

that is because:

"Graystone City Clemens is not actually the name of a town.

On the contrary, it represents this extremely large super-civilization structure.

It stands for:

The full name of this vast space station that can be described as a star tower."

He really didn't expect that

It turned out that I had already arrived in interstellar space from the very beginning.

At first, the yellow sand reminded him of the Sahara, Libya, or the Arabian Desert. Now, it seems that the meaning of all this may be even more shocking.
If it were any other day, Su Wen would have been very excited.

but now,
He just looked at the boundless sea of stars and said calmly:

"I can't and shouldn't let those who died here be buried in the sea of stars.
Leaves return to their roots,

I'm going to take them home.

Even if it is just their last hope. "

As the dusk falls, the tower's elevator continues to fly toward the starry sky.

from their intended destination,

It's almost here.
