Xingtie: After my death, Liuying will understand love.

Chapter 716 The fire of hope

An Ming didn't remember when he woke up.

The initial burning is indeed extremely painful, but after it is burned out, all that remains is deep nothingness.

After life, if even the soul is burned out, what will greet An Ming will be the so-called "ultimate death."

That means that even existence itself is completely annihilated, and consciousness returns to eternal silence...a death with no possibility of resurrection.

When he was on Blue Star, An Ming had thought that if he really died one day, the world would still move forward, but he would know nothing and fall into eternal sleep.

At that time, An Ming still could not fully understand the profound principles contained in life and death, until he was willing to do so for Aini in Tethys.

There are always things in this world that are more important than life. If I use this broken body and soul fire as fuel, I can ignite a more satisfactory ending and protect the last spark of fire.

That was the destination he was willing to enter into death without looking back.

Death is not scary. What An Ming fears more is that even if everything burns out, nothing can be saved.

An Ming woke up from nothingness and found himself in a special state, which was similar to the feeling of a spiritual body. When he raised his hand, he could see the stars passing through his palm.

"An Ming."

"There is still a last hope in despair."

The voice was extremely vague at first, as if it was speaking through a layer of membrane, but when An Ming listened carefully, he found that... there was a universe between them.

Another universe outside the universe.

The universe is indeed infinite. Whether in the past or in the future, it will continue to move forward infinitely as the timeline extends.

Until the end comes, the "cocoon" will turn the universe into a finite one. No matter how many times it restarts, the universe will always have a so-called end.

"what can I do?"

An Ming asked the person outside the universe, or to be more precise, what else he could do now.

"Leave behind the flame of hope without being noticed by fate."

That voice contained trust in An Ming, even though An Ming himself could not understand where this trust came from.

At this time, another voice sounded: "The strong luck of destiny can only save you one last time... The next time you burn, it will be the last time."

Across the barrier of the universe, An Ming looked at two strange figures at the other end of the distance. They had never met before, but for some reason they seemed so familiar.

It was so familiar that it seemed like they were from the same hometown.

"We come from the same tree, Anming. One day we will meet on this side," the initial voice was gentle and full of expectations for Anming.

The second voice seemed to be comforting him and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you fail. The most important thing is to leave behind a story worth remembering."

"Can you tell me your names?" The two people behind the curtain became increasingly blurry. An Ming also realized that this conversation was an extremely precious moment. At least he knew their names at this last moment.

"I hope... No," the original voice said with a smile, "Just call me Han Chen."

"Su Ming."

The second person also gave his name.

After the two finished speaking, the blurry curtain turned into a deep barrier, completely isolating the scene on the other side.

After hearing this, An Ming was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the language the two people were speaking was the Chinese characters he was most familiar with?

No wonder the other party would trust him unconditionally, because... they came from the same hometown.

A homeless traveler as well.

"The spark of hope... eh?" An Ming stared at his palm which was gradually solidifying. If he wanted to keep the spark outside the watchful eyes of fate, it would mean cutting off all causal connections that might be exposed, especially... Aini.

What's more, even if he wanted to look for her now, it would probably be difficult to find Annie.

An Ming could confirm that his current situation was similar to that between spirit and entity, but as long as he did not burn his soul again in a short period of time and continued to maintain this delicate balance, he could maintain this state for a long time.

This period of time may be enough for him to do something, whether it is to leave the last spark outside of fate or to make advance preparations for the future.

If he wants to end the end, let the universe return to infinity, and escape the established cycle of timeline, he must break this cage with his own hands.

He will personally cut off the final cage!

To do this, he needs to find someone who will never be discovered by fate and whom he can completely trust.

It is not impossible for him to serve as the spark, but the risk of doing so is too high, and there is even the risk of being exposed prematurely.

Before that, An Ming needs to make a careful decision, using what may be the only chance to convey a message for the future.

The information contained in that fire will determine the direction of the future.

After that, An Ming's footsteps have traveled all over the galaxy, and he has passed through countless strange planets alone. Perhaps because his timeline is still far away from the main storyline he is familiar with, what he witnessed along the way are all past events that have never been mentioned in the game.

But as expected...the universe is so huge that one cannot reach its boundaries even in one's lifetime.

Until one day, An Ming came to a blue planet, where he was slightly stunned when he heard the word Shenzhou.

Shenzhou.

If there is a planet in this universe that is most similar to his original hometown, then the predecessor of the Xianzhou Alliance, the Shenzhou in front of him, is the world that is most like the Blue Planet.

Unlike Tethys, An Ming, who came to Shenzhou, never needed to learn the language here.

An Ming raised his head, looked at the blue sky that was so clear that it seemed almost unreal, and felt the familiar touch of the wind brushing against his cheek.

In an instant, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Although it was not An Ming's real hometown, everything in Shenzhou was extremely familiar. After learning that the immortal boat was about to be completed, he finally understood the timeline he was in.

There is still a long time before the first scene of the Star Train arriving at the Black Tower Space Station. Perhaps he can still do something now.

At the beginning of the timeline, leave the spark of hope.
