Lin Xian is confined and monitored by Wen Zhuo of the Phoenix Society, who refuses to reveal the reasons for his isolation. Lin Xian expresses frustration, wanting to utilize his abilities and the South Heavenly Gate. He learns that if he sees his friends, they too will be monitored. Lin Xian then meets with Professor Ye, whose hair has turned white. Ye explains that the Phoenix Society was formed 76 years ago by her father to research doomsday prophecies detected in dark matter. The organization secretly prepared humanity for the apocalypse, but their efforts ultimately failed against the dark invasion. Ye reveals that the Foundation was originally part of the Phoenix Society but diverged due to a belief that humanity's defeat was inevitable and that a higher civilization would descend to save them. Lin Xian questions why they then turned towards seeking human extinction, and Ye states the answer lies with him.

Lin Xian stood frozen in place.

He had a bad idea.

He had considered it when communicating with Chu Yan.

But he had dismissed it.

The breeze blew across the lake, formed by polar ice water, making it appear clear yet lonely, while the simulated sunset in the sky was dazzling and entrancing.

Lin Xian looked at that fluttering silver hair, and he seemed to see the solitude and sigh under that deep gaze.

"The Starfire Plan isn't meant to test the High Tower Civilization, right?"

The wind roared.

Breathing was slow, and Ye Lan's silence felt like a dark cloud pressing down from the sky.

After a long time, the calm voice sounded.

"That civilization sent two special protons wrapped in dark matter to Blue Star, and through research, we acquired a large amount of information, including fundamental physical technologies that go beyond our current civilization, such as nanotube materials for space elevators, gigawatt-level energy constraints, diffraction limits, space environment, and super strong lightweight materials. These have helped us build the interstellar army, and the leap in basic technology allowed for the creation of Floating City, Near-Earth Orbit Defense Platform, and Wangyue Planet Ring."

"But with all this, we are still not a match for the High Tower Civilization," Lin Xian asked.

Ye Lan shook her head.

"The advancement of any scientific construction isn't achieved overnight, even with answers. But as you said, if we didn't have any of this, we couldn't have survived from Apocalypse Day to now, building this Kunlun City."

"Moreover, due to mass limitations, those two special protons do not contain high-dimensional energy weapons. Until 30 years ago, we suddenly discovered that those two special protons are some form of adaptive civilization creation tool."

"A tool?"

"That's right, like two shovels or Swiss Army knives given to primitive people by modern humans," Ye Lan shook her head, "Perhaps you can describe it this way..."

Lin Xian frowned at those words, "Is this tool meant to deal with the High Tower Civilization?"

"We thought it was."

Ye Lan looked at Lin Xian, "This tool, or rather a device, needs to learn and simulate our civilization's technology and create it. To some extent, it can preserve human civilization or rebuild human civilization."

Lin Xian frowned at her words.

"Don't tell me this civilization creation tool is my Mechanical Heart?"

Ye Lan sighed, looked at Lin Xian, but remained silent.

Lin Xian felt his heart sink and immediately retorted:

"It's possible that, although I'm aware my Mechanical Heart isn't some superpower, I can also confirm it's not a tool. I can use my mind to activate a mechanical celestial body that could be thousands of light years away, and this ability was gained after surviving the first Extreme Night post-Apocalypse Day. Or is this tool also activated through some spiritual power?"

Ye Lan responded slowly, "These two special protons, one is creation, one is thought. Due to the divergence, one was taken by the Foundation for development and research, while we collaborated with the North American United Front's Science Center to find a volunteer for the other."

"Chu Yan."

Lin Xian gasped sharply, stepping back repeatedly, breathing rapidly, recalling previous scenes.

"I think my Mechanical Heart isn't a superpower, but comes from some high-dimensional civilization."

"Gravitational Lens, a special ability in my mechanical superpower, yet this world has a second duplicate. I've never understood this point."

"It's an internal launch weapon installed in my body at the North American United Front's Science Center, capable of carrying two rounds each time."

"Haven't you ever wondered why this Science Center can manufacture gravitational-level weapons?"

"Before you appeared, I never doubted this. The United Front's Science Center and the Nightwalker Organization, along with the Federation's Angel Department and the Foundation, previously conducted dark energy research together. Many special weapons are developed, only the Gravitational Lens is a very extreme dark energy device, controlled by my spiritual ability alone."

"Before Dawn City, the Foundation provided us with much support, always in cooperation. My body modification includes a technology from the Foundation's Intelligent Mechanical Center!"

"Why do we experience spiritual links!"

Buzz!!!

A loud ringing echoed in Lin Xian's mind, and he finally came to his senses, looking at the figure in front and slowly said,

"So the Foundation gave me my Mechanical Heart? But... when? It can't be..."

Lin Xian was utterly confused, feeling like his head was going to explode.

Ye Lan looked at him, calmly said,

"Do you remember where you were before your awakening abilities?"

"Of course I remember!" Lin Xian blurted out, "Evergreen Apartment 1602 in Jiang City, my sanctuary, where I spent 33 days gathering materials to survive 3 years and manufacturing materials for Infinity, preparing all the supplies for the escape to the east. I was very cautious and never suffered an injury!"

"Then... 33 days before, do you remember where you were?" Ye Lan suddenly asked.

"I!"

Lin Xian's tone paused, in his mind's memories, everything about university life seemed vivid, Teacher Chen, Director Liang, all those faces were clear in his memory.

But Ye Lan suddenly asked this, and Lin Xian realized he didn't remember what happened one day before Apocalypse Day.

Or rather, a prolonged period before Apocalypse Day...

Lin Xian suddenly realized that every time he dreamed, he returned to memories of his time at the sanctuary, never earlier memories.
