Lin Xian learns more about his Mechanical Heart from Ye Lan, discovering it's a technologically advanced replacement. He also realizes his past encounters were orchestrated, but Ye Lan assures him the Foundation isn't fully in control. A message from Teacher Chen leads Lin Xian to unlock a device containing a human heart, confirming his own mechanical replacement.

Lin Xian looked puzzled, "But if that civilization sent the information and special protons to save us, why is the Foundation taking such a stance? And now, why does that civilization want to help the Foundation eradicate humanity? Isn't that contradictory?"

"I've pondered this for most of my life and still don't understand. Even if humanity is destined to fail, the fundamental drive for survival shouldn't waver because we know that civilization won't come to save us or descend here. Given that, why would the Foundation act like this, until..."

Ye Lan slowly turned and looked at the sunset in the Sky Dome:

"During the Battle of Dawn City, you and Chu Yan successfully assisted Chu Zhaonan in completing the Vanguard Plan."

"What?"

Lin Xian was baffled, "What does this have to do with the Vanguard Plan?"

"Could they know where that civilization is?"

"Is it related to the Heavenly Veil?"

"Or is Chu Zhaonan also connected to the Foundation?"

"No, could you explain more clearly..."

"I don't understand, clearly at that time, the goal of the Deep Red World was..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xian suddenly froze.

He stood there dumbfounded.

A chilling sensation spread from his back to his head.

At that moment, it was as if he forgot to breathe.

Ye Lan turned back to look at Lin Xian and slowly said:

"There's a theory in the scientific community: if we prepare a piece of paper that is waterproof, thick, and not too smooth on the surface to ensure clear writing and durability, and then write on it that we hope future generations will develop time travel technology, then return to this letter's time, if this paper is properly preserved in a safe box..."

"In theory, people from the future would appear before you immediately..." Lin Xian responded, his gaze unfocused.

He looked past Ye Lan's shoulder towards the starry projection on the snow mountain, his voice trembling.

"When the Vanguard Plan succeeded, and those two starships departed, a new future was already created."

Lin Xian stood up, his lips dry. He wanted to laugh but found he couldn't, as Hua Xiaoling's voice kept echoing in his ears.

"You might think that the Descent Faction consists of cowards, extremists, or religious zealots. In fact, most people with such beliefs possess a certain status and resources and are often in mid-to-upper echelons of human organizational structures, because ordinary people might still cling to hope and illusions of survival. But for these people, they are the clearest about what has happened to the world, what our civilization, our interstellar army, and our resistance organizations are fighting against. Before the Federation disintegrated, before the Underground City Dawn Plan, the Federation had already attempted the Starship Transfer Plan, but none were spared. Above the sky, there are existences even more terrifying than the Dark Tide."

"They know better than you what Star Abyss and this apocalyptic dark calamity entail, how much time we have left, and understand that under this doomsday catastrophe, humanity... is doomed to fail."

"Strictly speaking, our Foundation is aimed at saving human civilization, but the deeper we delve into the dark, the more we discover humanity's insignificance. Our technology cannot penetrate the Star Abyss, and every time we think we've made new progress, we find our understanding is only the tip of the iceberg of darkness."

"Captain Lin, perhaps you should recognize that the logic of the world doesn't strictly adhere to black and white, friend and foe, good and bad dichotomies. The survival of human civilization isn't solely about escaping from Blue Star or annihilating the Dark Civilization in such a simplistic, crude logic."

"I think this can be seen as a venture, a cause beneficial to all of humanity."

"Based on Hua Xiaoling's 'Man in the Loop' theory, the best choice for continuing human civilization is Mechanical Creation. Therefore, I believe breaking through the Heavenly Veil, taking the seeds of human civilization, and embarking on a galactic expedition is the ultimate plan to preserve the essence of human civilization to the greatest extent!"

"I want to say, you needn't be guarded against me. Our mission is to save humanity."

"To save humanity with human power!"

"I now finally understand why Hua Xiaoling kept emphasizing the continuation of human civilization."

"I always thought she was just shouting empty slogans, extremely hypocritical."

"It turns out..." Lin Xian muttered with a bitter smile by the Underground Lake, his gaze slowly focusing, "what she meant..."

"wasn't about our human civilization!"
