"So... so it seems... Survivors... are actually the salvation plan adopted by humanity to deal with the gods in the doomsday cataclysm era—'Remnant Fire'..."
"We survivors are the Remnant Fire plan..."
"Please protect the Remnant Fire, protect the last remnant fire of human civilization... you're talking about us survivors?!"
As the words fell, Ye Feng turned to look in the direction of the large iron gate they had entered earlier. On the wall above the large iron gate, the words "Please protect the Remnant Fire, protect the last remnant fire of human civilization" were written.
"Some old guys thought the Remnant Fire plan referred to the Fire Seed Record... I didn't expect the Remnant Fire plan to be Survivors... Survivors are also the beginning of all salvation actions..."
"Survivors are the true 'Remnant Fire'... The truth of the Remnant Fire plan... Is this the secret hidden behind Survivors... Is this why the Dark Holy Cult has always been capturing Survivors?" Yue Yan chimed in, her expression filled with surprise.
"Big Brother... these murals... they look the same as the Anka Box you took out earlier..." At this moment, Xiao Xiao pointed to some illustrations in the voyage log Ye Feng held.
"En!" Ye Feng nodded. "These patterns... they say that humanity reached the edge of the solar system a very, very long time ago... The reason why the starship went to explore the edge of the solar system was because murals documenting the Martial Gods were discovered in Kunlun Mountain..."
"We... our ancestors of Da Xia actually traveled so far... were able to reach the edge of the solar system thousands of years ago... and even left behind black stone tablets... recording the world-ending war thousands of years ago..."
"This is unbelievable..." Ye Feng looked at the voyage log in his hand with utter astonishment, murmuring to himself as if in a dream.
"But Big Brother... there still seem to be quite a few unclear issues... For example, why do treasure chests drop... and what's the deal with the Survivor channel broadcasts related to you?" At this moment, Xiao Xiao frowned and continued.
"And the Earthly Ranking Stone is also a bit muddled..." Yue Yan chimed in. "According to the records in the voyage log, the Remnant Fire plan includes the Earthly Ranking Stone... This Earthly Ranking Stone is quite mysterious and seems very important... but it doesn't clearly explain what it is, it feels like an anticlimactic ending..."
"And Ye Feng, this stack of documents in your hand is not just the voyage log of the Lone Sail starship... it might have started as a simple voyage log... but later all the important content related to that interstellar voyage was added in..." Yue Yan paused and added.
"That... Martial God... is he really dead?" The scene fell silent for a while. Ye Feng turned to look at Yue Yan, and Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying also turned their gaze to Yue Yan.
"What... what are you looking at me for..." Yue Yan waved her hand a bit unnaturally. "How would I know... But I don't believe that someone of the Martial God's level is truly 'dead'..." As she spoke, Yue Yan looked at Qiao Ying. "Speaking of which, Qiao Ying, you should know better. The Martial God even brewed fine wine specifically for your Feather Tribe!"
"I... I don't know either~" Qiao Ying blushed a little. "I heard many legends about the Martial God when I was young... Our tribe wouldn't have perished if it weren't for the Martial God..."
"But my knowledge about the Martial God is very limited... I don't even know about what was just recorded in the voyage log..."
"I only know that I came to Earth... to find another King of the Feather Tribe, or the Angel Tribe..." At this point, Qiao Ying looked at Ye Feng. "Her Majesty the Queen told me that the other King of the Angel Tribe... is our hope to survive the final Judgment Day..."
"I... I..." Ye Feng scratched his head, completely bewildered. He had no idea how he had inexplicably become the other King of the Angel Tribe...
"Is that so..." Yue Yan stared at Ye Feng for a long time. "The Remnant Fire plan refers to Survivors... From the previous Survivor channel broadcasts... you really are quite special... When something happens to you, treasure chests actually drop around Survivors..."
"That old woman Yue Feixue also said you are the last... 'Remnant Fire'... and told me to pay attention to you and don't let you die..."
"I didn't understand what she meant before, I only guessed it was related to the Remnant Fire plan... Now I somewhat understand..." Yue Yan seemed to be talking to herself, or perhaps to Ye Feng.
"This..." Ye Feng scratched his head. "I didn't understand before why Survivors would lose their original memories if their bracelets were touched by natives or their screens were touched... Now it seems it's to keep the Remnant Fire plan absolutely secret..."
"And the Remnant Fire plan... it's likely that among the Survivors, if they hadn't come to this secret area of Star-Treading City and seen this voyage log... they would have always believed they were just Survivors, wouldn't they..." Ye Feng gently touched his bracelet, looking at the people on the Survivor channel who were 'surviving' in various ways... his expression was complex.
"Although this voyage log has resolved many doubts in my heart, it still doesn't explain why Yue Feixue abandoned me and went to explore other planets on a starship..." Yue Yan looked at the thick stack of documents in Ye Feng's hand and grumbled unhappily. Clearly, she was still bothered by Yue Feixue breaking her promise and leaving her behind.
"By the way, Ye Feng!" At this moment, Qiao Ying spoke up. "I just found a repeatedly played recording near the control console... When Star-Treading City was split in half by spatial forces... they offered almost no resistance, they did it on purpose..."
"Wh... what?" Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned.
"En!" Qiao Ying nodded and pressed the play button on the recorder. "This is the control console... All personnel, please immediately withdraw your defenses... All personnel, please immediately withdraw your defenses... For the Remnant Fire plan... For the last remnant fire of human civilization... This is the control console... Please all personnel..."
"This..." Hearing the choked but powerful male voice from the recorder, Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, and Yue Yan, for some reason, felt a pang of sadness.
"Judging from the human remains we found earlier... many were turned into meat paste by monsters without any defense... some were even suicide attacks..."
"I found it strange before... a well-trained army shouldn't be like this..."
"The recording just now... might be the answer... At that time, the Remnant Fire plan might have been too late, or lacked the required energy... Those people voluntarily withdrew their defenses for the smooth implementation of the Remnant Fire plan... The suicide attacks... were likely to attract the attention of the enemies of Star-Treading City..."
Qiao Ying's eyes were red. "Back then... to allow Her Majesty the Queen to successfully seal the Angel City... many angels self-destructed to buy time..."
"I... let's go look somewhere else... see if there are any other important items..." Seeing Qiao Ying's eyes turning red, Yue Yan looking sad, and Xiao Xiao about to cry, Ye Feng quickly changed the subject.
"Okay!~"
