Civilization Returns to Source

In 2060, the Kunlun Return-to-Source experiment failed, but Chen Xing was selected by the Return-to-Source Seed and traveled back to 2030. Guided by the seed, he locates the Return-to-Source Base and activates the 'Return-to-Source Plan'—advancing on both technology and the Seed to grow the Return-to-Source Ship from an egg into a complete starship. Chen Xing witnesses the ship's birth, first steps, and maiden voyage as it gains a heart and wings with a fully functional hardware system. However, the Elda Civilization arrives, damaging the Seed. Chen Xing leaves the ship to meditate at the Kunlun Source Point, repairing the Seed into a Source Infant. Implanted into the Return-to-Source Nest, the ship connects to the network and sails into deep space.
