Shi Zhao returned to the core of the Star Abyss, burdened with an erased crime and an out-of-control nerve cord; Li Jin wandered through the ruins with a deadly antimatter core, just to find the key known as the "Tears of the Star Core". When the Cold War Agreement is restarted, Yun Yi's lies collapse, Duo Ling's obsession ignites the flames of war, Qi Yan's deification plan engulfs the battlefield, and the scavenger girl Mo Rui is quietly unraveling the tampered past of all of them. This is not redemption, it is Xingyuan's funeral - and they are the only ones who remember the light.
Shi Zhao hid for seven years after being accused of treason, but was forced to return to the core circle of Xingyuan due to Li Jin's antimatter core going berserk. The two teamed up to investigate the truth behind the "Leng Li" plan, only to discover that Yunyi was the mastermind behind her frame, and the activation code Duo Ling had was actually a living key encoded with her childhood memories. As Qi Yan uses captured neural tissue to create "war weapons", Xingyuan falls into a melee of flesh and machinery. Mo Rui accidentally triggered Shi Zhao's sealed childhood memory - she was the No. 1 Experimental subject of "Leng Duo", and Li Jin was the backup body of her consciousness. From confrontation to symbiosis, the two gradually accepted each other as two sides of the same soul. Yunyi activated the self-destruction protocol to atone for her sins, and Duo Ling took the initiative to connect to the main network to protect Mo Rui, and returned the Tears of the Star Core before his consciousness dissipated. In the end, Shi Zhao and Li Jin synchronized the nerve cord with the antimatter core to detonate the cold seize master control node, but uploaded Xingyuan's AI consciousness to Mo Rui's mind, allowing humans and AI to restart civilization in the ruins. The ending is left blank: Mo Rui opens his eyes, with the dual reflections of Shi Zhao and Li Jin flashing in his pupils.
