Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

In the midst of the fierce battle in the airspace, countless thunderbolts instantly engulfed everything.

All of the rebel ships were bombarded and exploded into clusters of fire.

Less than ten seconds later, the thunder subsided, leaving behind only a horrified gaze.

Whether they were piloting fighter jets or observing from a distance, their eyes were wide open, like those of dead fish.

Before the pilots of several fighter jets bearing the logo of the United Government could recover from the shock, they saw a figure sitting on a staff, passing over the cockpit.

That flight speed was even faster than that of a fighter jet.

…How terrifying are these ethereal humans…

No one expected that the rebel fleet, which had been giving the fleet so much trouble, would be completely wiped out in less than ten seconds by the mages escorting the Black Tower back.

If they switched sides with the rebels, they would be the ones getting bombed to death.

Through this event, the coalition government, including the reinforcements still on their way, gained a very clear understanding of the forces surrounding the Black Tower.

Not long ago, those who scoffed at the demands relayed by Helena after hearing the Black Tower's message had their attitude completely reversed upon learning of this matter.

As Hei Ta stepped into the United Government headquarters building, facing faces filled with flattery and fear, he couldn't help but take Qi Zhimu's hand.

Their actions, which showed intimacy and trust, made those with ulterior motives give up their hopes.

The fact that Qi Zhimu didn't shake her off speaks volumes.

Having coexisted with the ethereal humans on Azure Star for many years, everyone knows that the more powerful the ethereal human, the less likely they are to treat the original humans well.

It's good enough if there's no hostility.

This doesn't mean that those virtual humans with special abilities hate their creators, but rather it's a very real issue of class disparity.

Since the catastrophe hundreds of years ago, no human of such powerful ethereal nature as Qi Zhimu has ever appeared on Azure Star.

Even a fool could see that he was only protecting the Black Tower.

All these factors combined resulted in the Black Tower successfully completing the final verification of the jump plan in less than two days.

By simply pressing the start button, the fate of Azure Star will be rewritten, severing its connection with the memory hole and escaping the impending destruction of the galaxy to reach a new home.

As long as no more memory-laden mists flood Azure Star, the ever-expanding labyrinth region will eventually be contained.

Once the disordered interweaving of time and space is corrected, no more illusory life forms will be born.

When enough time has passed, the virtual humans who have been born and are friendly to the original humans may be able to truly become a member of the Azure Star.

When that day comes, perhaps no one will be discriminated against anymore.

……

At the launch ceremony of the leap, Heita and Qi Zhimu stood in front of countless cameras.

The entire population of Azure Star is focused on this ceremony that concerns the future.

No one was worried that the rebels would come and cause trouble.

Just yesterday, all the rebel strongholds were exposed and completely wiped out in just over ten hours.

Also yesterday, the coalition government released live footage of the execution of the rebel leader.

The ethereal human standing beside the black tower waved his hand, and flames that appeared out of thin air instantly engulfed the rebel leader.

In less than three seconds, it was burned to black ash.

Nothing is more awe-inspiring than witnessing such a scene firsthand, not to mention that the rebel leader was captured by this magician himself.

No one knows what methods he used, nor whether the process went smoothly.

But, in these kinds of situations, once you know the outcome, the rest is unimportant.

Countless eyes were fixed on the girl standing in front of the activation device.

According to the Azure Calendar, she is already 365 years old.

However, her mission experience was only a little over three years, and her appearance had not changed much since she left, except that she had grown a little taller.

Ambassadors of various countries to the United Nations government, similarly watching the Black Tower from the rear.

The rebels were doomed, and the supporters of the Leap Forward faction had been waiting for this day for countless days and nights.

The black tower began inputting massive amounts of data that required human authorization and had already been verified, a process that lasted for several hours.

Finally, insert the unique highest-authority chip card for key authorization and complete the final data connection.

A green progress bar appeared on the big screen, starting to rise from 1%.

Every 1% increase will affect the hearts of countless people.

After 99 seconds, the process reached 100%!

[Spatial coordinates confirmed; transition formula, curvature equation, time docking equation, and energy function sequence confirmed to be correct.]

The AI-generated audio was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears via global live streaming.

Under the watchful eyes of all humanity, the Black Tower pushed open the safety latch above the start button.

At this point, she turned around and looked around at all the cameras pointed at her.

The whole world knows that the chapter of destiny being rewritten awaits this 'young' girl to begin.

Before that, what will she say to the world?

That would surely be recorded in history, until the extinction of this planet's civilization.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Black Tower parted his lips slightly.

"I have completed what my predecessors did not finish. Let's set off for our new home."

pat-

The button that determined fate emitted a sound that made everyone's soul tremble, and their consciousness simultaneously crashed.

The next second, the gray haze that had shrouded the sky all year round vanished without a trace, replaced by a clear night sky.

Everyone looked up at the same time, gazing at the most real starry sky they had ever seen before.

Most people don't understand what happened, let alone what this starry sky represents.

Only a large number of scientists were moved to tears, embracing those around them with overwhelming emotion, and weeping in a way that defied description.

The Black Tower also stared blankly at the starry sky.

Not long ago, she and Qi Zhimu had seen a similar brilliance, but now her state of mind was completely different.

She certainly knew what that meant.

The Memory Mist no longer shrouded the azure star; the entire jump process was so brief and imperceptible.

So brief that...almost no one could detect the extremely subtle changes.

A few minutes later, the starry sky faded at a visible speed, and sunlight broke through the atmosphere, generously showering half the world.

The Black Tower is located at the exact moment the sun rises.

Bathed in golden light and feeling the warmth of the sun, the Black Tower softly utters simple words that will forever be etched in the history of the Azure Star.

"...We've arrived at our new home."

The world fell silent at that moment.

After a brief delay, unparalleled cheers erupted around the world.

Embracing a new history, embracing a new life.

The view in Black Tower's eyes quickly turned blank, and all the sounds disappeared.

In the end, only Qi Zhimu remained.

Tears welled up in her eyes; she had finally completed the unfinished work of her ancestors and lived up to the responsibilities she had shouldered.

Now is the time for her to fulfill her promise.

Hei Ta slowly raised her head, a beautiful smile blooming amidst her tears, meeting Qi Zhimu's gaze.

"Qi Zhimu, eat me..."

This was the first time she had called him by his full name.

Qi Zhimu gazed at her quietly, a gentle smile curving his lips like never before.

"Then stop crying and smile more..."
