At the end of Death's End, the Trisolarans are ultimately able to use their creativity and resources to create an interdimensional bridge, which allows them to access our dimension without any of the consequences that they initially feared. This bridge then concluded Earth’s journey to cooperative unity with the Trisolarans, with Trusteeships convened as needed to guarantee communication between the two species.

The citizens of Earth had also willingly handed over a great deal of their free will and autonomy, in order to save humanity from annihilation. Much of what used to be known as “natural” forms of governance had been replaced by a new democracy, one formed on a global scale in order to inform the Trusteeships’ decisions.

In the end, the novel shows that cooperation between species is still possible, even after all the suffering, despair and death created by war. The novel also portrayed the perseverance and creativity of the human race, with humanity showing the will to survive even in the face of impossible odds. In the words of Death's End’s protagonist, Luo Ji, “The strength of humankind lies not just in its ability to fight, but more so in its ability to create!”

Ultimately, the novel has a hopeful ending, one that speaks to the power of cooperation and creativity in the face of ultimate despair. As the novel ends, Luo Ji’s thoughts on the beauty of the night sky resonate to the power that lies within all of us: “I will go to the stars and explore them, and I will never forget that it was you who gave me the chance to go and revel in the wonders of the universe.”

At the end of "Death's End", the final book in Cixin Liu's "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy, the future of humanity is in great peril.

The major conflict at the end of the book focuses on a powerful, interdimensional creature known as the Dark Forest Dweller, which is determined to erase all of humankind's existence in order to end the universe's suffering. In order to prevent this from happening, the people of Earth create a powerful supercomputer known as the Almighty, which is able to create virtual worlds in order to fight the Dark Forest Dweller.

At the climax of the book, the fight between the Almighty and the Dark Forest Dweller culminates in a powerful explosion that threatens to destroy everything in its wake. Meanwhile, the people of Earth make the difficult choice to sacrifice their own lives in order to save the universe. In a fitting climax, the final scene of the book shows the people of Earth, who have sacrificed their own lives to protect the universe, being united with their loved ones that are now in a virtual world created by the Almighty.

In the end, after an epic struggle, the people of Earth succeed in preventing the Dark Forest Dweller from erasing all life in the universe, ensuring that humanity and its legacy will live on. This is a fitting end to a series that explores how humanity's greatest achievements are a result of the courage and selflessness of its people.

At the end of Death's End, the story takes a hopeful turn. After hundreds of years fighting against the forces of Extinction and the Trisolarans, there's finally the possibility of survival. Throughout the course of the novel, most of the characters have been dedicated to this cause, while others, such as the Greater and Lesser Shadows, have sought to bring a swift and final end to humanity's struggle.

In the end, the Trisolarans, after seemingly ending Extinction, offer a chance for a peaceful coexistence. Through a vote concerning the future of humanity, the majority of humans decide to reject the home of the Trisolarans and create a new, better suited for human existence. Meanwhile, the Trisolarans agree to let the humans have their own, free planet, provided they leave the Trisolaran system untouched.

In the epilogue, we see Cheng Xin and her descendants, under the guidance of AA, manage to achieve what they set out to do: create a truly peaceful and prosperous human future. This is the death of death's end and the birth of a new, harmonious universe.

At the end of Death’s End, the universe ended when the Trisolarans decided on the tragedy of the Doomsday plan. After they discovered a disturbing level of chaos that had infiltrated their civilization, they decided it was necessary to eliminate all forms of life, including the Trisolarans, in order to make their civilization more stable. As part of this, they launched a massive attack on the Milky Way civilization, culminating in the deployment of the Starseeker weapon, which resulted in the death of everyone in the Milky Way, including the human race.

However, this was not the final fate of the universe. In the wake of these events, the three “Wallfacers” from the Trisolaran civilization were able to construct a new universe, one that was outside of their reach and was beyond their control. This new universe, called the “Great Adjudication,” allowed the dead souls of the Milky Way civilization to find new lives and new homes. In this way, the deaths of this civilization were not in vain and their spirit of hope and courage was passed along to future generations, ensuring that their memory would live on forever.

At the end of Death's End, we found out the terrifying truth about the "dark forest" the universe had been hiding from humanity. It turns out that the dark forest is a sort of prison world filled with unimaginable horrors that the universe had hidden away in places where humans would not find them. The truth of the dark forest is a way to keep all advanced civilizations from learning the truth about the universe, and it was this knowledge that humans had acquired in their search for the truth that actually caused the dark forest to unleash its horrors on the universe.

The main characters (Wang Miao, Luo Ji, and Shi Qiang) all together managed to save humanity from the dark forest's attacks by sending a message to the future, warning them of the danger the dark forest posed. In the end, humanity was able to survive the attack despite the immense danger the dark forest posed.

At the end of the novel, we find out that Shi Qiang has unwittingly set up a new cycle of the dark forest, with a new universe and new civilizations with no knowledge of the previous cycle or the dangers the dark forest poses. Humanity and all of its civilizations still exist, but they are unaware of the darkness hidden in the depths of the universe.

Spoiler alert for those who haven't read "Death's End"

At the end of "Death's End," the final novel in Cixin Liu's "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy, a few major events take place.

Firstly, the main protagonist, Cheng Xin, decides to surrender herself to the Trisolaran fleet in order to prevent them from attacking Earth again. She believes that, as a human, she is better equipped to communicate with the Trisolarans and negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict that has been ongoing throughout the series.

Meanwhile, a group of scientists on Earth led by Luo Ji are working on a plan to create a space-time tunnel that can transport human beings to a parallel universe unaffected by the Trisolarans. Despite the ethical concerns around abandoning their own universe, Luo Ji and his team believe that it is the only way to save humanity.

As Cheng Xin travels aboard the Trisolaran fleet, she begins to understand the Trisolarans in a way that humans have not been able to before. She learns about their past and their motivations, and realizes that their actions were not fueled by malice, but rather a desperate desire to save their own civilization.

Eventually, Cheng Xin and the Trisolaran leadership come to an agreement to end the war by allowing humanity to escape to the parallel universe. In a poignant ending, it is revealed that the characters we have followed throughout the trilogy have already left for this new universe, and the story closes with a brief discussion of what their new lives might be like in this different world.

Overall, "Death's End" delivers a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, tying up loose ends and providing both closure and hope for the characters and the larger universe.
