Guixu Memory: Ending Star Gate

After the "Shore Seeker" passed through the seventh star gate, communications officer Lin Shen discovered the truth: the ruins did not spread from the edge of the universe, but grew outward from the depths of each observer's consciousness - the speed of the annihilation of time and space was directly related to the collective despair of intelligent civilization. The more fear there is, the faster the universe dies. The stargate network across the galaxy is actually a huge prison. Each star gate is a seal, jointly suppressing the "nothingness" that existed before the birth of the universe - the hunger bred by nothingness itself. Every time humans jump into the void, cracks are torn in the seal. The more advanced the technology, the closer the end will be. Civilization's struggle and despair intensify and return to ruins. This is an endless cycle. Captain Shen Yue faces a dilemma: continue to move forward and reach the initial coordinates to activate the final seal, at the cost of permanently dissipating the existence marks of everyone on the ship; or turn around and escape back to the galaxy, witnessing the annihilation of billions of compatriots within a hundred years. Both roads lead to abyss. One of the crew members aboard the Shoreseeker is not human. Her name is Zero, and her memory and body are both woven - she is the last key left by the civilization that led the way ten thousand years ago, and was designed to activate the seal. But thousands of years of slumber gave her something unexpected: self-will. She can fear, she can love, and she can reject her mission. When Ling remembered his true identity, the countdown to return to the ruins had reached the last frame. She must answer a question that even the guide avoids: Is a key with a heart still just a key? After passing through the last star gate, what awaits them is the tomb of the universe or the delivery room of the new era? The answer lies not in the stars, but in the heart of every person who chooses to sacrifice.
