For humanity, burn the stars.

As that voice appeared in his mind, Li Lin's eyes widened suddenly.

He suddenly held his breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to sit up in shock.

His eyes darted slightly, he shook his head from side to side, and scanned his surroundings warily, wondering if it was just his imagination.

Meanwhile, Luke and Varian remained at the control panel.

Seeing Li Lin's surprised expression, Luke and Varian assumed it was just his attempt to adapt to his new body and didn't pay much attention.

Li Lin frowned slightly, making no further moves to avoid revealing his identity, and instead began to silently investigate in his mind.

When Li Lin refocused his mind, just like when he summoned the system countless times in a game, a panel appeared before his eyes.

Li Lin looked at the panel that appeared in front of him and confirmed that it was only visible to him.

He was certain that this was not a hallucination caused by post-operative mental abnormality.

He was extremely familiar with that voice and that interface.

Although it is simpler and has many differences, you can still vaguely see the shadow of the game UI interface in Star Ocean.

On the left is a basic overview of existing information and a star map, while the right side allows you to freely customize plugins.

For example, Li Lin often uses resource statistics, details of the ruled star system, and relations with surrounding civilizations, etc.

At this moment, the panel is almost completely blank.

Li Lin closed his eyes slightly, as if he was still adjusting to his new body.

His heart pounded heavily and powerfully in his chest, barely able to contain his inner excitement.

With this system, he truly possessed the ability to restart human civilization.

He now had to avoid any overly agitated behavior that the Veras might notice.

However, excitement is inevitable after changing bodies, and now is the perfect time.

Following the game's controls, Li Lin focused his mind on the appearing interface and silently asked himself:

"What is this? Why did it start?"

In response to his call, more information flowed directly into his mind:

The "Seed of Fire" system is the final plan of the emergency continuation protocol for human civilization.

[In the event of an irresistible and devastating blow to the main body of a civilization, ensure the preservation of knowledge, technology, and the spark of civilization, and provide minimum support for surviving individuals or those who subsequently recover to restart the civilization.]

[Activation prerequisite: 1. The user's biometric information is that of a registered authorized individual]

2. The user's self-identity is unwaveringly that of a 'human being'.

3. The passenger is conscious and possesses full logical thinking ability.

…………

As a flood of information came to mind, all of Li Lin's questions were quickly answered.

So that's how it is. This seeding system is some kind of black box technology that was inexplicably discovered during the course of human development, and it's not on the traditional technology tree.

It was implanted in the body through methods that were difficult to detect, and at the time, it was only performed on a very small number of officers who resolutely resisted.

Of course, there are four people in this collection room equipped with the ignition system.

No one spoke up to surrender and reveal all this, and Vera didn't have the technology for it.

Coupled with the rigid requirements of ideology, which prevent it from being triggered by anyone other than humans, the Vera were unaware of the existence of this Seed of Fire system.

And he, a soul that had traveled from another era, happened to be the spark that ignited this 'seed fire'.

but……

Li Lin gave a bitter smile to himself.

Even if Vera hadn't discovered the system, humanity would still have been utterly defeated in the face of such a disparity in raw power.

But for Li Lin right now, this is indeed good news that comes in a time of need.

Restoring his human body was only the first step, and it was only important to him personally.

The future is the most important thing.

He had already been thinking about how to develop his situation if he had the chance to escape control.

After all, if he were alone, there would be no chance of revenge.

No single person can restore human civilization from scratch.

Because it involves so many aspects, the amount of knowledge required is undoubtedly enormous.

Even if we completely abandon literature and history, the cornerstones of civilization, we are already trapped by practical fields such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Forget about taking further revenge, even returning to the original level would be difficult.

But now, with the help of this system and the information Li Lin himself carries, the revival of human civilization and revenge may not be a dream.

This "Fire Seeding System" contains a wealth of knowledge and a vast collection of written texts.

It can be said that this is a library of human civilization, and it comes with powerful and intelligent search capabilities.

However, this "fire-starting system" lacks the ability to help users make decisions and does not have independent AI.

All development paths and strategic choices must be decided by the users themselves, and they must bear full responsibility for them.

Perhaps it's because humanity must forge its own path into the future.

Li Lin lay on the platform, outwardly calm, but inwardly a raging storm was brewing.

In other words, the next step is to find a chance to escape Earth...?

A complex and indescribable emotion welled up inside me.

There was a sense of relief at escaping a desperate situation, a feeling of admiration for the foresight of our predecessors, and an even heavier sense of responsibility weighing on our shoulders.

This is not a game; there is no second chance.

This spark of human civilization's continuation is now in his hands, and could be extinguished again at any moment.

Li Lin exhaled softly, the breath brushing against his lips, warm and real.

At least, it's the first step.

A slight buzzing sound was heard, confirming that the transplanted physiological functions were complete and usable, and the binding force field of the medical platform was released.

Li Lin felt a lightness in his body and opened his eyes again.

He propped himself up on his elbows and sat up.

The sterile surgical gown slipped off her body, revealing her well-defined, muscular chest and arms.

He looked down at his hands and tried to move his fingers very slightly.

The long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles obediently bent slightly.

Successful.

He tightened and loosened his fingers, carefully feeling the tendons sliding and the real sensation of power gathering at his fingertips.

Li Lin raised his hand and gently touched his cheek.

It feels warm to the touch, the skin is firm, and the nose, lips, eyebrows... are familiar facial features.

"How does it feel?"

Luke's synthesized voice came through, tinged with obvious pleasure.

It and Varian had floated to the front of the transparent compartment, their four tentacles hanging loosely at their sides, their fiber optic organs tilted slightly forward, observing his every move.

Li Lin raised his head and looked at them.

This was the first time he had looked at these alien rulers from a human perspective.

Their "smiles," which they imitated from humans, still looked stiff and strange on their smooth purple faces.

Rather, from a human perspective, it has become even more bizarre and extremely repulsive.

"very good."

He spoke, his voice a little hoarse, as his vocal cords, unused for a long time, were getting used to it.

However, at least it has genuine vocal cords, and its pronunciation of Chinese is quite clear.

Li Lin paused, took a deep breath, and added:

"It's much better than before."

This body represents the last effort made by those who came before, and he will remember and cherish it.
