Seven hundred years ago, the antimatter legion ignited this place, bringing devastating flames to this lush planet.
A star core responded to the prayer, and a cold wave engulfed the antimatter army and the people, leaving only the lonely city of Beloborg standing.
The Rift Realm, known as the "cancer of all realms," is eroding people's last remaining space for survival, and the division between the upper and lower city areas is severing the hope in people's hearts.
The power of [Preservation] has been Belloborg's support to this day, but His miracles are already faintly visible, and He seems to be on the verge of collapse.
Clinging to their old ways is futile against the encroaching rifts. Confined to their tiny territory, civilizations have no way out. Barring unforeseen circumstances, they will lose all their living space in the future.
Civilization will continue its struggle towards annihilation.
Unlike people who live in the present.
As the leader of the civilization on this planet, the Great Guardian Cocolia sees only despair in the future.
There was no solution, no hope, and the lives of the people and the future of the entire civilization rested on her shoulders.
In Cripperburg, the mature woman continued to process documents as always, her eyes devoid of light.
The word "future" is nothing more than a lifetime for people. If resources still exist, even if the cold wave has not subsided and the rift continues to erode, their future is simply moving from a tiny living space to an even smaller room.
But the future is already a distant prospect for Belloberg.
Her future successor may also spend his life in this despair, or he may face this despair head-on and become the last great guardian.
Do you need courage?
A sweet female voice suddenly appeared in her ear.
A clear white flame seemed to rise in the depths of her heart.
"Do you need strength?"
Cocolia was certain that the sound did not originate from the star's core.
"Do you want to take up your weapons and ignite the flame of hope for your civilization?"
"Don't despair, I will give you the courage to light a lamp."
"Do not cling to the past; I will grant you the power to forge your own future."
"Don't hesitate, I will guide you towards your dreams."
"I will work with you to bring hope to this cold world."

Black Tower Space Station, Bai Yan's office.
Bai Yan ate the plum blossom cakes that Ruan Mei had just made, and played a game with Yin Yue and Yin Lang.
Nguyen Mai poured herself a cup of tea, then poured one for him as well, and asked, "What are your plans for the next step?"
Bai Yan put down his phone: "Let's go for a walk with that group of nameless guests. Yalilo VI, Beloborg, a place where life tenaciously thrives."
Chapter 38 Who said we were leaving?
It's not just Belleburg that's been hit by the cold wave.
More and more people heard that sweet, dreamlike female voice, and a pure white flame ignited in their hearts.
A gentle force flowed into people's bodies.
The first people to be illuminated by the light of hope appeared.
At this moment, they were unaware of which star god was watching them. This power possessed the steadfastness of [Guardian], but was far more radical than [Guardian].
Even those living in the "wild west" who do not know what star gods are, still receive blessings and praise the gods who bestow courage and strength.
Even those who are ready to give up in the face of disaster, as long as they still have a sliver of hope in their hearts, the deity will ignite it with the flames of courage and strength, helping them to create a better future.
An invisible hand guides the lost back to the path to the future.
That pure white flame dispelled the darkness on this road; it was nowhere, yet it seemed to be with people at all times.
His appearance seemed to be meant to awaken the courage in people's hearts.
His appearance seems to be meant to bring people the power to create a future.
He is silently giving to people, illuminating the world with his pure white flame, and he has never spoken his name.
As the light illuminates the universe, the image of this deity has already appeared in people's hearts, and they are calling upon His name—[Hope].
……
Bai Yan rested in his office for a while, then came out with Ruan Mei and walked towards the platform of the space station's support module, where the nameless Star Train was still parked.
Only a dozen minutes have passed. Even if Si Yu has caused some big commotion, the news hasn't reached here yet.
If any passing clerks were willing to greet Bai Yan and Ruan Mei, he would respond enthusiastically.
The other staff members were also discussing it curiously:
"What exactly happened? Why did the [Memory] Star God suddenly appear?"
"Could it be that Lady Black Tower has pulled off some big move?"
"Are you stupid? Even if Lady Black Tower makes a big move, the [Memory] Star God should be with Lady Black Tower herself."
"What if the major operation happened on the space station? By the way, do you think it could be Ms. Nguyen Mai?"
……
Some staff members suspected that the appearance of the [Memory] Star God was related to Ruan Mei, but Ruan Mei denied it.
After that, people turned their attention to the Black Tower.
Ms. Heta quickly responded, stating that she had nothing to do with the matter.
The reason is simple: given Black Tower's arrogant nature, it would not consider adding a false achievement to her resume.
Even if she shifts the blame, Bai Yan, the person directly responsible, won't be able to take the fall, and no one will suspect him.
A moment later, Bai Yan, accompanied by Ruan Mei, knocked on the door of the observation car of the Starry Sky Train.
March 7th opened the door, her tone tinged with a hint of resentment: "You've come looking for Xing again? She's not here. We're setting sail tomorrow; she went with Himeko to check on the supplies."
Bai Yan chuckled awkwardly, "Can't I come here to see you?"
"Really?"
"fake."
"You...you...never mind, you guys come in first."
March 7th seemed to want to say something, but didn't. She just glared at him, took two steps back, and let him and Ruan Mei in.
March 7th had almost gotten used to Bai Yan's jokes, especially now that there was Xing, who would often come up with something for her in the middle of a conversation, and she was getting more and more used to it.
Bai Yan and Ruan Mei entered the observation carriage. The scenery here was the same as always, and the various decorations were not much different from those thousands of years ago.
It has been a long time since I last traveled with Archivist and studied His composition.
The only things inside the observation car right now are March 7th, Walter checking the news on his phone, and...
"Make way, make way, Papa."
The adorable lop-eared rabbit-shaped Pam is sweeping around the carriage with a small mop in her two short arms.
Pam looked up at Bai Yan and Ruan Mei again, then turned to leave: "Never mind. I'll wait until you're gone before I drag it out."
Bai Yan crouched down, put his hand on Pam's shoulder, and laughed, "Who said we were leaving?"
Chapter 39 The Unhealthy Taste
Pam looked up at Bai Yan: "What do you mean, Pam?"
Walter finished reading a news article, put down his phone, and offered his help: "It should mean exactly what it says. Pam, didn't you also want Bai Yan to travel with us for a while now?"
"Huh?" March 7th looked at Walter and Bai Yan with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean? Does this mean Bai Yan is officially getting on board?"
Bai Yan withdrew his hand from Pam's shoulder and stood up: "Not just me, but my friends too. We'd like to travel with you for a while, is that alright?"
"Really?" March 7th immediately confirmed, her face beaming with excitement.
Unlike the girl's excitement, Walter was much more composed. He spoke again, "We all welcome you to join us, but it would be better to wait for Himeko and the others to return and confirm this. Also, is the friend you mentioned Ms. Ruan Mei beside you?"
The Star Train has been docked at the space station for seven days now, and everyone has heard some of the rumors circulating about the space station.
On March 7th, they learned that the space station now had a big shot from the Genius Club, and they also heard some gossip about Bai Yan and Ruan Mei.
“I remember now.” March 7th’s mind started working, and he laughed, “Everyone says that the appearance of that [Memory] Star God today was caused by you. That’s amazing.”
Ruan Mei and Bai Yan exchanged a glance, then Ruan Mei calmly replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have the means to make Him appear. Perhaps you can find some clues from other people."
Walter analyzed, "Rumor has it that every time the [Memory] Star God appears in the universe, something big happens. The space station is so quiet, something's not right."
March 7th started racking her brains again: "Didn't [Life] and [Destruction] have a fight a few days ago? Was that a big deal? Could it be that He was late and got lost and ended up here?"
The door connecting the observation car to another car had been opened at some point.
The gray-haired girl walked over and said, "[Memory] The Star God isn't you, so she shouldn't get lost while being late."
"what?"
March 7th turned around and said, "I can tell, Xing, you're insulting me, aren't you?"
Xing smiled slightly, trying to get away with it by being cute: "Really? But for a beautiful girl, being a little absent-minded sometimes, like being late or getting lost, is actually quite adorable."
March 7th was very pleased, but also a little stubborn: "Don't think that I'll forgive you just because you say I'm cute."
Bai Yan interjected, "So you're confident that you're a beautiful girl?"
"Am I not?"
Bai Yan smiled and said, "Alright. You've made up your mind."
Xing and Bai Yan chatted back and forth, having completely forgotten about the insults they had just received on March 7th.
Himeko, walking behind Hoshino, looked at Hoshino and Shiro with a complicated expression.
