In the past, Sheldon’s team discovered that the island was a machine that went through a portal to meet tall aliens who empowered them. This would make them the initial heroes of this world, with Sheldon as the utopian and then crafting his Code of No Killing. He felt that this was a gift from the celestial beings, so they had to fulfill that divine purpose of helping humanity, as the aliens viewed humanity as fragile gems.
However, it turns out they are not benevolent gods at all – these aliens were acolytes of something dark. It is revealed when an older Jason, also known as the New Utopian, digs up Sheldon’s corpse to extract his memories. Walt’s skull was fried when the Union fell, so Chloe and Hutch’s first child thinks he can use his great-uncle to find out what really happened on the island, which has disappeared from the web.
This was something Hutch’s father Skyfox was also obsessed with before Walt killed him. Now Jason needs the mystery solved as he wants to know who created them, why, and what this has to do with the passing of powers with each generation. His sister, Sophie, goes through the corpse’s mind, but finds many walls that block the truth. Amazingly, they get to the core and see the aliens gather and greet their ancestors.

Jason has been trying to decipher its secrets because he believes he is in tune with the island and its creators.
Interestingly enough, Chloe has been called out of the world thanks to a distress signal, it is hinted that her family will dive deep into aliens to find out why they were actually put on this planet. From the evidence so far and the way their puppeteers have been manipulating them, it does not appear that they have been empowered by the goodness of the aliens’ hearts.
