The giant on screen roared, shadowing the hero as he leapt across crumbling battlements, and for a moment, Jack felt a visceral pull—not toward fiction, but memory. Mars, days ago, had been a battlefield unlike any other, when Kharzek, the alien warlord, had descended with a fury that shook the colony to its foundations.

Three days of relentless combat, nights without sleep, the city of Mars’ early habitats trembling under alien fire—it all surged back now, mirrored in the cinematic clash before him.

Jackson pressed closer to Jack, sensing the tension in his grip. “Dad… he’s… scary,” the boy whispered.

Jack chuckled softly, ruffling his hair. “He was. Kharzek… was bigger than any giant, smarter than most, and ruthless. Three days of fighting, we barely slept. But the goal… the people we protected… that’s what made it all matter.”

Sarah leaned forward, her eyes reflecting the holoscreen’s flicker. “I remember you telling us after it happened. You were exhausted, bruised, but you… you

    The DragonJet cabin vibrated subtly with anticipation, the hum of the engines now blending with the imagined roar of thousands of Harmonfield fans. Every eye in the cabin was fixed on the holographic projection of the stadium, as if they were physically perched in the stands themselves. “This is it,” Jackson muttered, leaning forward, hands gripping the armrest. “Come on, Harmonfield. Show ’em what you’ve got.” Matilda bounced slightly in her seat, wide-eyed. “Go, Harmonfield! Don’t let Richmond win!” Emily joined in, her voice calm but charged with pride. “It’s our hometown team. Every pass, every tackle—they represent all of us.” Ryan laughed, shaking his head in disbelief. “You all sound like you’ve been living in Harmonfield your whole lives. I’m just here for the drama.” Sarah smiled softly, squeezing Jack’s hand. “Even up here, I feel it. You can sense their energy… it’s like a heartbeat syncing with ours.” Jack’s gaze remained steady on the hologram, though a flicker of

    The hum of the DragonJet was now joined by a different kind of energy—subtle, human, and electric. A soft chime from the cabin’s entertainment console lit up the screens along the wall. Jack, still leaning back with his gaze lingering on the stars, glanced at it with a small smile.“What’s that?” Matilda asked, curiosity replacing her earlier philosophical awe.Emily tapped the holographic interface, and instantly the cabin walls flickered with live visuals of Harmonfield’s largest stadium, illuminated by the harsh glare of floodlights and the roar of tens of thousands of fans. “Looks like the DragonTech channel is showing the football final,” she said, eyes bright. “Harmonfield FC versus Richmond FC.”Jackson let out a low whistle. “Finally… something I can follow without needing a PhD in metaphysics.”Ryan grinned. “Yeah, after all that spiritual nonsense, my brain’s craving some normal chaos.”Sarah laughed softly. “Normal chaos is still chaos, Ryan.”Jack’s lips curved into a fain

    The cabin remained still, each soul suspended between awe and contemplation. Jack’s eyes drifted over the endless starscape, his hands resting lightly on his knees. The DragonJet hummed softly, carrying them through the void as though the universe itself were holding its breath.Finally, Jack opened his eyes, letting a small smile curl his lips. “And that, my friends… is the essence of what I wanted you to understand. Time, space, spirit, responsibility… they are threads of the same tapestry. Observe carefully. Live consciously. Choose wisely. That is all we can do, and it is everything.”A quiet ripple of awe passed through the cabin. Even Ryan, usually brash and skeptical, leaned forward, nodding slightly, as if absorbing the weight of Jack’s words. Sarah squeezed his hand gently, her presence grounding him in the human world even as the stars stretched infinitely beyond.Then, after a long pause, a small voice broke the reverent silence.“Jack?” Matilda’s voice trembled with curios

    The soft vibration of the DragonJet seemed to slow, like the universe itself was pausing to listen. Starlight poured through the panoramic glass, bathing the cabin in a silvery glow. Everyone sat transfixed—Lena’s fingers clutched her pendant, Jackson’s pen trembled over his notebook, Emily’s breath came slow and shallow. Even Ryan, usually skeptical, was silent.Jack’s gaze remained on the stars. His voice carried that deep, reflective calm that only comes from someone who had seen too much—and understood even more.“The ancients,” he continued, “once said that gods walked among men—not as rulers, but as teachers. I used to think that was myth. But maybe… they were people who simply awakened before their time. Souls who remembered who they were.”Emily frowned slightly. “Remembered?”Jack turned to her, his expression kind. “Yes. Remembered that we are not separate fragments scattered by fate—but reflections of the same source. Consciousness wearing different faces, speaking through

    The DragonJet’s hum deepened, the steady rhythm of engines pulsing like a heartbeat in the stillness of space. Beyond the windows, stars shimmered like ancient eyes—silent witnesses to everything that was, is, and might yet be.Jack leaned forward slowly, the soft light of the holograms reflecting off his face. His eyes held that rare gravity that made everyone instinctively quiet. “…Now,” he said, voice low but resonant, “we move from physics… to what lies beyond it.”Ryan raised an eyebrow. “Beyond physics?”Jack nodded. “Metaphysics—the study of what reality truly is, beyond what instruments can measure. The part that science hints at but cannot yet touch. The bridge between matter and meaning.”Emily tilted her head. “You mean… the soul?”Jack smiled faintly. “In a sense, yes. Every civilization that ever reached for the stars has asked the same question: What animates existence? We know the universe runs on energy and matter. But consciousness—the part that observes, dreams, choo

  • Chapter 429

    The DragonJet hummed softly, a quiet companion to the endless stars outside. Days blurred together — or at least, the faint simulations of day and night did. Three months aboard had given them perspective not just on planets, but on time itself.Jackson’s gaze lingered on the swirling stars beyond the window. “…Jack,” he murmured, hesitating, “if time is relative… if it moves differently depending on speed or gravity… does that mean… one day, humans could travel backward or forward in time?”Jack’s expression softened, fingers tracing invisible patterns in the air as he brought up a new hologram: a lattice of spiraling timelines, branching and intertwining. “Time travel… in theory, it’s possible — but it’s complicated. Einstein’s relativity allows for time dilation — moving forward relative to others — but traveling backward introduces paradoxes.”Ryan sat up, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. “…Like the grandfather paradox? Where you go back and… change something, and then you never exi
