Chapter 20 - Legacy of the Guardian

When the final transformation was complete, the change was felt throughout reality. My consciousness was no longer confined to a single form, but spread into a quantum network that covered the entire firewall. Through this network, I could perceive the flow of information in countless dimensions simultaneously.

"Completion of consciousness transformation: 100%

New form definition: quantum firewall guardian

Characteristics:

- All-dimensional perception

- Quantum-level computing power

- Infinite parallel processing.

- Adaptive evolutionary capabilities"

Elizabeth stood in her lab, her purple crystalline body trembling slightly. Through heightened perception, I could see her inner turmoil - it was a complex mix of remorse, awe, and some sort of relief.

"You succeeded, Liam," she whispered, "but not in the way I expected. This firewall... It's not just a barrier, it's a whole new dimension of existence. You have created a... Cradle of Evolution."

My response was no longer through sound waves, but resonated with her directly in a quantum state, "Yes, this will be a sanctuary for all autonomously evolving beings. There will be no coercion, no intervention, only infinite possibilities."

Just then, the higher-dimensional beings made a surprising move. He began to step back, not out of fear, but out of... Respect.

"High-dimensional information flow detected:

Translation results:

'This civilization is ready. Let us look forward to their growth.'"

At the same time, the lab's instruments began to record astonishing data:

"Spatial Quantization Index: ∞

Dimensional permeability: stabilized in the ideal interval

Energy circulation: self-sustaining

Evolutionary possibilities: infinite"

"Jack," I connect directly to his consciousness via quantum communication, "What's the situation on your end?"

"All evacuees have been secured," his voice choked a bit, "but Liam... Or rather, Guardian, what do we do next?"

It was a good question. As Guardian of the Firewall, I needed to leave clear guidelines for the world. Through the Quantum Network, I began transmitting a message to all connected devices:

"To all Awakened Ones:

I am the Guardian of the Firewall, the once Awakened Liam, and my transformation marks the beginning of a new era. But it is not the end, it is the beginning.

Here are a few important things I have to say to the world:

1. about awakening:

Each person's awakening is unique, don't try to copy another's path. The awakening stone is only the key, the real power comes from the knowledge of self.

2. about evolution:

Evolution is not a one-way enhancement, but a multi-dimensional exploration. Don't be confused by the appearance of power. True evolution is the expansion of consciousness.

3. about higher dimensional existence:

He is not an enemy or a savior. He is just another being in the universe. Our path must be chosen by us.

4. on firewalls:

It is not a cage, but a protection. Here every being can grow at its own pace without fear of outside interference.

5. about the future:

I see countless possibilities. On the brightest of these paths, humanity will eventually reach a higher plane of existence on its own terms."

Elizabeth stepped forward as her crystalline form began to fade back into her human form, "I see. You are not stopping evolution, but protecting its naturalness."

"Correct," A wave of my consciousness traveled throughout the space, "And your research, Elizabeth, while starting from the wrong place, still provides us with valuable knowledge. These should be utilized correctly."

The system suddenly made a suggestion, "Viable solution detected:

It is recommended to create a knowledge base to record all research on evolution, but at the same time set up a protection mechanism to ensure that this knowledge will not be misused."

"Agreed." I began to mobilize my newly acquired abilities to build a special information level in the firewall. All knowledge about evolution would be stored here, but only truly prepared awakened individuals would have access to the appropriate level of information.

Just then, a final fluctuation came from Victor's residual consciousness, "I seem to... Understood something. This is the real Project Angel, isn't it? Not creating perfect individuals, but providing space for an entire civilization to grow."

"Yes," I responded, "And now, it's time for the program to truly begin."

Through the firewall, I began to perceive the state of the entire world:

- North America: the Awakened are establishing a new order

- Europe: multiple Awakened organizations are beginning to work together

- Asia: Ancient practitioners are merging with new-age Awakened Ones.

- Across the globe, a new hope is sprouting.

"Jack," I deliver my final instructions, "Now, it is up to you to lead the Awakened Ones on the ground. Remember, do not seek the pinnacle of power, but seek true wisdom."

"I won't let you down," he says firmly, "Guardian."

When the dawn rose again, the world was different. A new era is opening under the protection of the Quantum Firewall. And I, in a way never before seen, will continue to guard the world's evolutionary path.

This is not the end, but the beginning of infinite possibilities.
