What we percieve from the time we are born to the time we die, is a fixed length that lies along the timeline of the universe, but, like I mentioned before it's just a spec, no where near the beginning of the birth of the universe. We have NOT percieved it from its beginning to now.

Now when you said, "Space and us are in the same timeline. We are just born later and die earlier while space continues on existing." I agree. I am simply implying that if, like you also said, "time will continue to exist to infinity" and anything that goes into infinity, including the timeline of which we were born and died, turns into zero as well, as if it never existed.
No, our timeline doesn't turn into zero. If I am alive for 100 years, then I lived 100 years no matter how much time passes after my death. The ratio of the length of my existence and the universe's existence will approch zero. However, I don't see why this relevant to the original discussion about consciousness.
