All the heavens, starting as the ruler of the universe

The relentless snowstorm on the ice field seemed to have stopped as if someone had pressed the pause button.

The snowflakes stopped falling and remained fixed in the air.

Each piece was clearly visible, as if nailed to the gray sky.

Everyone present began to breathe rapidly, their heartbeats quickening.

The next instant, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in a place where there was nothing at all.

It's not tearing, it's not breaking apart, it just appears directly.

It's like someone drew a line on a blank sheet of paper, and the crack grew out of nothing.

The edges are silvery-white, as if coated with moonlight, while the inside is black, and nothing can be seen.

Starlight poured out from the crack, like countless fireflies crowding together and flying outwards.

The light fell on the ground, on the snow, on everyone's face, illuminating the ice field as if it were daytime.

The light grew brighter and denser, and then the light transformed into a human figure that appeared in everyone's eyes.

The man surnamed Zhou's eyes slowly returned to normal, and he saw a man who looked very similar to them.

At least outwardly they looked no different from them, and they were dressed in casual clothes.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Lin Yan spotted Liu Ming immediately and nodded.

"Brother Lin." Liu Ming was completely relieved. It felt amazing to have a powerful backer come to him directly.

Representative Zhou had mentally rehearsed many scenarios before coming, but when the moment actually arrived, he couldn't say a word.

He has seen many big scenes, negotiations, crises, and life-or-death situations, and he can handle them all.

But this person was different. When this person stood in front of him, he felt as if something was gripping his heart—not fear, but awe.

Representative Zhou took a deep breath and took a step forward.

"Mr. Lin... Hello, I am Zhou, a representative of the Foreign Affairs Department of the United Government. These two are my colleagues. On behalf of the United Government, we welcome you."

"I hope what I'm about to do won't cause you any trouble." Lin Yan extended his hand.

Representative Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reached out and shook his hand: "No, it can't get any worse than it is now."

"That's good." Lin Yan looked at Liu Ming. "Can we begin?"

Liu Ming took a deep breath: "I'm ready."

"The coalition government is ready; we've waited too long for this day." Representative Zhou nodded in agreement.

"There might be a slight tremor, tell your people to be prepared." Lin Yan said, raising his hand.

Starlight surged in his palm, and something the size of a glass marble appeared in his hand.

"Close your eyes," Lin Yan said.

Everyone present closed their eyes.

Then they felt the light.

Under Lin Yan's control, the glass ball slowly rose into the air.

Then the speed increases and the size increases.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now," Lin Yan said calmly.

Everyone opened their eyes and immediately saw the ever-growing sphere in the sky.

"That is..." Liu Ming stared blankly at the sky.

"A star," Lin Yan said casually. "It will fly to the most suitable position in a day, at which point you can turn off the propulsion engines."

"The sun..." Representative Zhou's eyes were stung so badly that tears kept flowing, but he still refused to close them.

"One day?" the person behind Representative Zhou asked.

"Yes, one day, 24 hours." Lin Yan nodded. "As for the consequences after 24 hours, I believe you already have a contingency plan."

Representative Zhou finally closed his eyes. "Mr. Lin, what conditions do you require? The coalition government can..."

"I don't need anything." Lin Yan waved his hand. "And don't bother me with anything else."

"Of course not, you are the benefactor of all mankind, and we will never forget your kindness." Representative Zhou regained his composure.

Everyone who witnessed this scene through the surveillance cameras in the underground city shed tears.

"The sun...that's the sun..." a young technician murmured to himself, his voice so soft it was as if he were afraid of disturbing something.

No one answered him. Everyone saw it, everyone knew what it was, but no one dared to believe it.

They had lived in the underground city for so long that they had forgotten what the sun looked like. The orb on the screen grew brighter and larger, like a burning star—which it was originally a star.

Someone in the monitoring room cried, not loudly, but silently.

Tears streamed down his cheeks, dripping onto the console and the keyboard. No one laughed, because everyone was crying.

"We don't have to be homeless anymore." An elderly engineer with gray hair took off his glasses, wiped them with his sleeve, and put them back on. "We have a home now."

"Don't get too excited." Another middle-aged woman in a white coat stared at the data on the screen, her voice trembling, but she tried to remain calm. "We won't know the results for another 24 hours. What if the trajectory is wrong? What if the brightness is insufficient? What if..."

"There are no ifs," the old engineer interrupted her. "Do you see that sun? It's there. No matter where it is in 24 hours, it will still be there. Even if there are problems, we can use the thrusters to adjust its orbit."

The woman in the white coat didn't speak again. She stared at the screen, at the star that was getting brighter and brighter, and tears streamed down her face.

"But we still have a lot to do: how should we arrange for the people? We must build a moon to lock down Earth's tides, otherwise the oceans will get out of control. And without Jupiter's protection, we will also have to face a huge number of meteorites in space." Some people have already thought about the situation Earth will face after the sun is built.

"These things are no more despairing than the absence of the sun; at least we can solve these problems," the bespectacled old engineer said excitedly.

"I didn't expect Liu Ming to actually know people from a super civilization." Some people's focus was actually on Lin Yan.

"At least it's not a bad thing for us," the person in charge finally spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear him. He was wearing a dark uniform, his hair was gray, and his face was deeply wrinkled. He stared at the screen for a long time.

"Notify all departments to activate the 'Return Home' contingency plan. Arrange for the first batch of personnel to return to Earth within 24 hours. We need a new moon, a new protection system, and a new home."

No one spoke; everyone was looking at him and nodding one after another.

"Create a new department specifically for liaising with Mr. Lin, and have Liu Ming join it as well."

"What if he doesn't want to?" someone asked.

"No, as long as he is still human, still an Earthling, he will definitely take on this mission." His voice was not loud, but it was very confident.

On the ice field, Liu Ming was still standing there. He couldn't hear the discussion in the monitoring room, nor did he know that the United Government had arranged a new department for him.

He simply watched the star grow brighter and larger, its light gradually spreading across the ice plains.
