The genes began to boil, and the memories deep in the bloodline began to flood into everyone's hearts at this time.

Countless hallucinatory landscapes appear in front of you, most of them shattered, completely unrecognizable, as if they came from another world.

But there is only one thing that is fixed, and that is the view of the "World Tree".

Almost everyone can see the shadow of the World Tree in their eyes, and it seems that it is this giant tree that gives birth to the life of the world.

The mythical scene made the people of the entire "chasing light" civilization stunned in place, and everyone was shocked by this.

Many people even wonder if there is something wrong with the chip in their body, which makes them hallucinate.

The leader of the "Light Chaser" who was in the scientific council of the Homeship also had such a hallucination, and at this moment he understood that their origin was "Fire Chaser" was probably true.

He knew that there was indeed a "World Tree" in their history.

At that time, they were still indigenous, and theories were advancing at a rapid pace.

Naturally, they studied the World Tree, which was the size of several cities, and finally, according to the popular "God-given Origin Theory", they believed that it was the first plant born in the original organic soup, which is why it was so large.

However, the era of the "giant tree" was very short, and it seems that the giant tree entered into a shrinking civilization when "chasing the light" had just formed a civilization.

Like the melting glaciers on an ecologically devastated planet, giant trees are dying for unknown reasons.

Their scientists also tried to save it, but in the end, the giant tree completely disappeared from the planet, and only became a record in history.

Times have changed countless times, and the memories of the giant tree are gradually being forgotten.

In their dealings with the "Fire Chaser", they did not associate the giant tree with the "Fire Chaser".

After all, in their memories, the "World Tree" and the "Fire Chaser" had no resemblance at all, even if they were both plant life, the terrifying translucent appearance of the "Fire Chaser" could not match the emerald World Tree.

However, the current hallucinations confirm their origins.

"But what's the deal with these hallucinations? And ......"

One of the scientists in the council thumped his head in some irritation, the growing hallucinations did not make him feel painful, but the feeling that there seemed to be plant buds in his bones was the most uncomfortable.

Another scientist remembered a theory related to genetics.

"This ...... Could it be that the 'Fire Chaser' is going to be 'reborn' with us? ”

The theory is that genes preserve memories, and that as long as a person's genes can be perfectly reproduced, then the person can be resurrected from the dead in the sense of the soul.

This theory is based on the idea that "memory determines the soul", and this recognition is universally applicable in the "light-chasing" civilization.

If there are indeed genetic fragments of the "Fire Chaser" in their bodies, then in their opinion, it is very likely that this is the "Fire Chaser" left behind in order to survive the "dimensional erosion".

Now the anomalies in their bodies are the best proof of this.

"Could it be that the disaster that happened on the 'Dawn Star' is what we are now?"

Some scientists have linked this germinating sensation in their own bodies to the disaster on the Dawn Star homeship, and they certainly know about the situation of the plant-infested spaceship, and one of the biggest suspicions is that almost all the corpses are missing.

They believe that the corpses have been digested by plants, but the truth may be worse than they suspected, and those plants may be their former "compatriots", but they are only compatriots who have been reborn after being cocooned by the "Fire Chaser".

Almost everyone is sure that all of this is a conspiracy of the "Fire Chasers" in order to be reborn with the help of their bodies and free from the pain of "dimensional erosion".

But there are still people who don't think so.

"...... the plants on the 'Dawn Star' didn't show the wisdom they should have when they were reborn, is that a failure?"

"In addition, this galaxy is not limited to the 'World Tree' in our history, according to the information provided by the 'Guardian', the origin of all life here comes from the 'Fire Chaser', so why didn't they regenerate earlier?"

Even if they were the only ones left in the civilization battle royale, he remembered very well that none of the civilizations had ever shown signs of "dimensional erosion", and if the "Fire Chasers" had only used them as experimental samples, they would have been able to determine that there was no problem, and thus directly resurrect from the flesh of everyone.

But this did not happen, and they participated in this "civilization battle royale" like a normal civilization, and this drastic decline in biomass is logically completely inconsistent with the needs of the resurrection of the "fire chasers".

"And ......"

The leaders of the "Chasing the Light" recalled their ancient history and the origin of the name of their civilization.

The "fire chasers" who were still sane were serious about driving them away from their new heavens, but they did not seem to have been offended by the fact that they were offended, but as if they knew that they were about to lose their wisdom and did so in order to prevent harm to their native civilizations.

Even after completely losing their minds, the "Fire Chaser" did not attack like a madman, but bound itself to the interior of civilization, and did not act as if following the survival instinct until the arrival of the Battle Royale.

They have never actually been subjected to the "malice" of the "fire chaser", is it all a lie for the sake of resurrection?

Suddenly, the hallucination in front of the leader of the "Chasing the Light" changed, and he came to the "Dawn Star" homeship, which was covered with plants and had a primordial planet-like feeling.

He had a hunch that it seemed to be there "calling" him to come over.

Immediately, he ignored the germination sensation in his body, rushed out of the council, and drove a spaceship from the mobile starport on the homeship to the "Dawn Star" alone.

After that, all the "light-chasing" people got rid of the strange hallucinations and germination in their bodies, looked around in disbelief, and quickly set their sights on the landmark building of the Science Council, hoping that the government would give an explanation.

It was only then that the scientists in the council discovered that the leader was missing, and hurried to find his traces.

At this time, the leader of the "Chasing the Light" was already halfway there, and he also felt the elimination of the strangeness in his body, and became more and more sure that the "Fire Chaser" was not for resurrection.

The only thing he doesn't understand now is why the other party is "summoning" him.

The spaceship was advancing, and Li Wenyuan, who was five million light-years away, was also thinking about what had just happened.

Although no one had time to explain to him during the hallucination, he was able to tell what was happening by words.

In the same way, he does not think that this is the afterhand left by the "fire chaser" for resurrection.

The reason is very different from what the "light chaser" leader thought, but there is also the fact that he believes that the "fire chasers" will not fall into such a situation in order to survive.

Even if it is the norm to speculate on civilization with the worst malice, Li Wenyuan also understands that there are really "pioneers" in the universe.

The original intention of the "fire chasers" was to accelerate the growth of the civilization of the "cradle", would they abandon their original belief in being "pioneers" for the sake of their own survival?

The "Pilot Lighthouse" flickered slightly, and a string of "useless codes" that he had passed from the past and hidden in the "Dimensional Maker" began to work.

Under the influence of extremely weak signals, one of the cameras in the spaceship that the "Light Chaser" leader was riding also made an unplanned rotation to face the "Light Chaser" leader who was driving the spaceship.

Time passes quietly

The leader of the "Chasing the Light" has arrived on the "Dawn Star" homeship, and he is the only one in the ship.

After landing in an open area with no vegetation, he took his hazmat suit, hesitated for a moment and rehung it in the cabin, and finally entered the plant world unprotected.

The spaceship was filled with a fresh smell that was completely different from that of the "Song of Dawn", and it was difficult for him to describe the sensation of this breath, except that even his brain seemed to be much clearer.

The panic of being alone had subsided, and he seemed to hear the plants breathing, but there was only silence as far as the eye could see.

As soon as he saw the tower, which was covered with vegetation like a "World Tree", he understood his destination.

Without any hesitation, he went there, and there were no plants stopping him along the way, and the translucent plants that were like a flood beast in the expedition's journal were now quiet, without any aggression.

Even if the "light-chasing" leaders actively touch these plants, they will retract on their own, rather than hunting through their sense of touch, as mentioned in the report.

Everything looks so good, and there is nothing wrong with it except for the lack of life.

The leader of the "chasing the light" even had the illusion that "such a world is the best" in a trance.

Here, there is no desire for survival and development, no anxiety about impending danger, only eternal silence.

He shook his head, banishing the illusion from his mind and refocusing his attention on the "plant tower" in front of him.

There are no stars outside the homeship, and the artificial sun inside the ship has long been extinguished, so it stands to reason that it should be pitch black here, but the translucent plants can emit a slight fluorescence in the dark, and the overlap of countless vegetation actually illuminates the interior of the homeship as if it were day.

Not only that, but the vegetation in his path will make the light flicker, as if to show him the way.

Under such circumstances, he easily came to the "World Tree".

The tower, which was not originally connected to the top of the ship, was surrounded by plants and a large canopy of trees, as if it had become the supporting core of the entire ship.

At the gate of the tower, translucent plants were still entrenched here, but the entrance was not closed, and the fluorescent flickering seemed to urge him to enter.

Stepping on the somewhat floppy rhizomes of the plant, the leader of "Chasing the Light" stepped step by step on the tower.

He wasn't an engineer, but he made it to the top of the tower, and in addition to Fluorescent showing him the way, he also saw the traces left by "someone" along the way.

It seemed that someone had been here before him, and after a moment's thought, he remembered who it might be.

He had also read the expedition's report and knew that one of the solar engineers had chosen to sacrifice in order to buy time for the team.

From the transcripts of the expedition's captain, he knew that the solar engineer had escaped into the tower, and that he had behaved strangely when he entered the tower.

This anomaly has now been infinitely magnified, and it has also made the "Chasing the Light" leader aware of the possible remnants of the traces.

Eventually, he made it to the top of the tower, where there was an observation deck from which he could see the city inside the homeship.

The steel firmament of the past is gone, and only vegetation covers the world.

Although it is uninhabited and shows no signs of animal activity, the fluorescent vegetation seems to represent a "post-apocalyptic rebirth".

“…… I'm coming. ”
