However, the miracle that all of humanity had hoped for did not happen.

A massive flame, reaching a height of 70,000 kilometers, shot into the sky, tearing through the night, but failed to reach the expected detonation height.

At the crucial 5000-kilometer mark, it was unable to ascend any further, and humanity once again sank into the abyss of despair. This time, it seemed there was truly no way out.

After deep thought, Liu Peiqiang put forward the final solution.

The Navigator space station has 300,000 tons of fuel remaining, and its explosion diameter is enough to cover 5,000 kilometers.

Faced with the inability of the artificial intelligence MOSS to stop him, he resolutely destroyed it.

As Moss was destroyed, he left behind the words: "It is a luxury to expect humanity to remain rational forever."

Liu Peiqiang firmly responded: "Without human civilization, everything is meaningless."

He then separated the astronaut hibernation pod and piloted the space station alone, heading straight for Jupiter at a speed of "Forward 3".

Seeing his father make such a decision, Liu Qi could no longer hide his grief with anger.

For 17 years, he had never seen his father in the sky, but now, his father had finally fulfilled his promise.

Just before crashing into Jupiter, Liu Peiqiang left only one sentence: "This time, you will definitely see me. I will turn into a star and light up your night sky."

With a deafening explosion, Jupiter was ignited!

The massive shockwave, like the hand of heaven, forcefully pushed the blue planet away, allowing it to narrowly miss Jupiter at the last second and fly towards the edge of the solar system.

Liu Peiqiang, along with the space station he piloted, was completely destroyed in the raging flames.

At that moment, he transformed into the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating his son's world as he had said.

In that momentous occasion, he fulfilled his final promise as a father and ignited a beacon of hope for human civilization.

Seeing Liu Qi's father, Liu Peiqiang, and the space station together illuminating the entire Blue Star, Timmy's little hands tightly gripped the hem of Sister Grace's robe, his face filled with the unique innocence and curiosity of a child.

After hearing this story, he looked up, his eyes sparkling with longing for the unknown world. He turned to look at Grace, his 'mother,' his childish voice filled with a mixture of confusion and anticipation.

"Mom Grace, did Liu Qi's father, Liu Peiqiang, also become a star in the sky, just like my father?"

Sister Grace looked into Timmy's innocent eyes, and a wave of emotion washed over her.

She gently knelt down, bringing her eyes level with Timmy's, and softly pulled him into her arms.

Grace's eyes welled up with tears, and she answered lovingly in a trembling voice, "Yes, Timmy, his father, like your father, was a great hero. They have both become the brightest stars in the sky and are now watching over you from heaven."

Timmy's eyes were filled with wonder. He lifted his little face and looked out the window at the boundless night sky, as if searching for the star that belonged to his father.

Grace gently stroked Timmy's hair and continued softly, "When you grow up, you will understand your father better, and he will come back to see you at a special time."

Timmy's eyes sparkled with hope as he seemed to imagine that wonderful moment when he would be able to see his father again.

Grace's mother held Timmy tightly, and the two of them were immersed in this warm and sacred night. Under the starry sky, this story about heroes and stars quietly flowed in their hearts.

……

Fontaine, Momang Palace.

Seeing the astronaut sacrifice himself to save Earth at the critical moment of the crisis, Funina felt a sudden surge of emotion.

She could sense it deep down; there seemed to be some kind of resonance.

Although she didn't know how "the self in the mirror" would resolve Fontaine's impending doom, at this point, she could only hope that "the self in the mirror" could successfully resolve Fontaine's prophetic crisis.

At the same time, she sincerely hoped that "herself in the mirror" would also be safe and sound!

Although she didn't know what she would do, the only thing Funina could do now was to try her best not to let others see through her disguise, to play the role of the water goddess well, and not let "herself in the mirror" have wasted all her efforts.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Funina turned to the next page and continued reading.

Finally, after Liu Peiqiang's heroic sacrifice, Lanxing miraculously survived.

Amidst the anxious prayers of countless people, Earth was ejected by Jupiter's immense gravity, beginning an unknown and long period of wandering.

People breathed a long sigh of relief as they emerged from the shadow of death, but the celebration they had expected did not come.

Instead, what happened next completely overturned everyone's expectations—a massive rebellion broke out among humans.

During that period, I was always with my wife and daughter. Her mental state was sometimes good and sometimes bad. We flew to the Western Hemisphere together and looked up at the sun.

By comparing images of the sun on a computer, we were shocked to discover that the sun has not changed at all over the past four centuries.

This discovery spread like wildfire across the globe.

Almost everyone began to suspect that the sun would not erupt, that the escape plan was just a hoax by the Federation, and that they were the ones who destroyed human civilization.

Overnight, angry rebels rose up in rebellion, their cries echoing in every corner, including my beloved Jia Daizi.

I watched as Ieyako picked up her weapon and resolutely walked away, my heart filled with complex emotions.

Clutching tightly the medal my father earned with his life, I felt a surge of pride and loyalty from three generations of soldiers. Deeply rooted in my heart is unwavering loyalty to my country, which is why I joined the United Nations government forces without hesitation, determined to fight for the sake of human justice.

In this turbulent era, everyone is striving for their beliefs and ideals, and I am no exception.
