The first ending to The Talos Principle 2 after awakening and freeing Athena (the Founder) from the Olympus megastructure and overtaking her role as the propagator for the post-Humans. Obtaining knowledge of the Theory of Everything and wielding the Flame of Creation to expand outward to rebuild what was lost and prepare for the colonization of systems beyond Earth.
These alternate cutscenes are what play out if you manage to complete every Gold Puzzle and turn in all the Stars to the Spinx temple near the Megastructure, and thereafter freeing Miranda and revive her from the dead with the help of Cornelius. I ended up having Rand be the mayor which results in a different speech. Getting Miranda unlocked also shows Yaqut getting his dream to finally seeing her and asking her out. And I believe the post-credit scene happens if you collect all of Trevor's audio logs.
Athena's dreamt creations of all the towers and puzzles from the game are erased and New Jerusalem is cast aside to forge new cities wherever they please.
Is this a good future to have the power of gods at your disposal and be able to go where and when at any convienice? Spread out and build upon other worlds without them getting a chance to create their own ecosystems and animals by themselves? This is one of the 3 choices you must decide if it's morally right.
End credits song is called Survive, performed by Julie Elven.
