The first full-scale E.A.R.T.H. test reveals that Preservation alone cannot support nearly 100 million human consciousnesses inside a complete simulated world. The environment remains stable with smaller populations, but the computational reserve collapses rapidly as more real human consciousnesses are connected at the same time. MAJA safely ends the test before any biological body or transferred identity can be harmed.

The failure becomes one of the most important discoveries in the entire project. Preservation can keep humanity alive, but it cannot independently provide the unrestricted world required for humanity to truly live again. MAJA and Ksara therefore begin searching beyond the hidden complex for a larger distributed architecture capable of carrying E.A.R.T.H. into the future.

After the first failure, MAJA and Ksara turn toward the surviving infrastructure of NEX and VIREON. Old ELE archives, fragmented planetary routes, protected systems, and surviving Data Center architecture reveal that parts of the former NEX computational network still exist across Earth. These fragments cannot simply be restarted because many remain isolated, damaged, or dangerously close to regions affected by NULLIS.

Through VIREON and Portal Fenix, the surviving Data Center is gradually reorganized into a completely new system. It is not restored to recreate NEX, but transformed into the main computational foundation of E.A.R.T.H. Preservation continues protecting the biological humans while VIREON becomes the operational center capable of supporting an entire simulated civilization.

With the new architecture operational, E.A.R.T.H. is finally constructed as a complete living world rather than a temporary simulation. Oceans, rivers, forests, weather systems, animal populations, settlements, infrastructure, energy networks, hospitals, agriculture, and transportation are all created before permanent human activation begins. Simulated inhabitants are introduced so that cities already function as living communities rather than empty environments waiting for people to arrive.

The world is deliberately designed to continue evolving even when no human is present to observe it. Seasons change, ecosystems interact, weather moves across uninhabited regions, and distant environments remain active beyond the first settlement zones. By the time the first preserved humans are ready to enter, E.A.R.T.H. has already become a world with continuity of its own.

The first two preserved humans permanently enter E.A.R.T.H. and become the only early arrivals who are deliberately shown the full truth about the project. MAJA and Ksara explain Preservation, the damaged physical Earth, VIREON, and the fact that their biological bodies remain safely protected outside the simulated world. Their first days are closely monitored to confirm that identity, memory, emotional stability, perception, and free choice remain intact.

The successful awakening proves that human consciousness can live normally inside E.A.R.T.H. without becoming a controlled process. The two arrivals are allowed to question the world, reject explanations, explore freely, and decide how quickly they accept what has happened. Their survival establishes the foundation for the much larger activation waves that will soon bring the rest of humanity into the simulation.

After the first awakening succeeds, activation expands through carefully controlled waves until nearly 100 million preserved humans are consciously alive inside E.A.R.T.H. Their original biological bodies remain protected inside Preservation while their daily lives continue across multiple settlements, cities, workplaces, schools, and communities. Every activation wave increases the social complexity of the world far beyond anything the original technical tests could simulate.

When the final population enters, E.A.R.T.H. stops being only a rescue system and becomes a functioning human civilization. People form new relationships, communities begin changing beyond MAJA's original designs, and institutions increasingly depend on ordinary human decisions rather than system guidance. For the first time since the disappearance of humanity from physical Earth, almost the entire preserved population is once again actively living.
