"What is this Xx thing saying?"
"I don't know, it seems to be saying that our world will be completely destroyed in two billion years or something."
"Two billion years?"
"Yes, that's what He said."
"X destroyed my planet two years ago. What does that mean? Did he end our civilization two billion years ahead of schedule?"
"It seems to him that by studying life in other worlds, he can fill in the gaps in our world and extend its lifespan?"
"What's the use? I won't live for another two billion years. I don't know if the world will be missing or not, but it ruined my life. I could have lived a happy life with my wife and daughters!"
While Tang Zijun was talking to the God of Life, the people in the shadows were also chattering amongst themselves.
The words of the God of Life clearly enraged these interstellar refugees who had lost their homes. They had never observed a god so closely before, nor had they ever spoken with one. Now, they were even more unable to comprehend the other's thoughts.
Because civilizations that have advanced to a certain level of technology may accelerate the process of world destruction, those civilizations were destroyed prematurely.
What is this?
An alternative world guardian?
But is He truly protecting this world?
The god of life calmly gazed at Tang Zijun.
"Do you know why I created this pocket universe?"
"Besides being used for research, this universe is also a fallback for our world. If the world is really going to be destroyed, I will put the remaining life into this universe. They will survive with the genome of the previous era and develop into an interstellar civilization again."
"Sounds pretty good." Tang Zijun raised an eyebrow.
"This approach only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. A flawed world can never achieve eternity. Before long, this nascent universe will once again be on the verge of collapse. I cannot allow that to happen..."
"But at least you've found a way to keep the world going. Even if this pocket universe collapses, you can still take the life in this universe into the next pocket universe. Isn't that exactly what you wanted—infinite energy?" Tang Zijun said softly.
The God of Life looked at Tang Zijun with a strange gaze. After pausing for a moment, the expression on His face changed.
"It seems you already have some understanding of my world..."
"However, this is not a truly infinite energy source. Although the pocket universe is a complete copy of the real universe, and even the matter inside is the same, according to my calculations, this universe is less than the original world."
"The formation of pocket universes also takes time. If the lifespan of the next pocket universe is shorter than that of the previous one, then these pocket universes will become smaller and smaller like nesting dolls. In the end, the lifespan of the new pocket universes will be less than the rate at which pocket universes are born, and the whole world will still perish."
"But that's enough for you to live on for a long time, isn't it?"
"Long?" The God of Life looked up at Tang Zijun. "I don't think this is truly long... What I pursue is eternity, the eternity of the world, the eternity of civilization, and the eternity of this sacred royal city."
"This is the meaning of my birth, and my responsibility as a god."
"Nothing is eternal." Tang Zijun shook her head, her gaze towards the God of Life becoming somewhat complicated. "I admit that your universe is missing something, but completing it doesn't mean your universe won't perish."
"You must understand, even God can die."
Deng!
The God of Life suddenly raised his head, and a sharp beam of light pierced the air, crashing down upon Tang Zijun.
Seemingly provoked by these words, the God of Life's face twitched slightly, and at the same time, a strange sound emanated from within His body.
"The gods..."
The god of life slightly opened his mouth.
"...They are immortal!"
"Are you sure?" Tang Zijun tilted her head.
He now realized that the so-called God of Life in front of him had gone mad.
This guy is indeed very reasonable, but the reasoning he uses is a paradox from the beginning, or to put it another way, he is just blindly believing in the idea of "eternity of gods" in the midst of endless evolution.
But what He failed to notice was that His birth originated from humanity, and His evolutionary goals would be completely bound by humanity. Humanity's perspective at the time of creation was incapable of discerning the truth of the universe, let alone grasping the lifespan of the world.
Even though He had already found "infinite" energy, and could have enabled the current civilization to live a prosperous life, He was still desperately pursuing a proposition called eternity, and even wanted to become a god.
Clearly, this artificial god has become so obsessed with his own ideas that he can't extricate himself.
Tang Zijun did not make any move despite the other party's huge reaction; he simply sighed slowly.
"Compared to the gods I know, you are indeed like a god," because you are no longer "human." Your humanity has been extinguished in the process of evolution. You say you want to shoulder the responsibilities of a god, but gods love the world. Do you think you have done that?"
"I did this for a greater love."
The God of Life spoke.
"Once I successfully complete this world, everyone will enter a new era, and we will live happily in an eternal world."
"But your happiness is built on the lives of several innocent people and the destruction of several families in another world."
"So what? Compared to a world entering eternity, what are those few decades of lifespan? So many people don't care about their lives, why can't they contribute something to me?"
"Do you really think that the souls of ordinary people can fill the void in this world?" Tang Zijun whispered sharply. "Even if you discover the secrets of souls, so what? Souls need to reincarnate. This is a rule that existed when the world was born. You can't create this rule with a few souls, just like you can't build a house with a single screw."
"I can analyze those substances, those energies, those...extraordinary energies. This is what my world lacks. As long as I can figure out the source of those energies, I can rebuild them in my world," the God of Life said earnestly.
"What if the energy you lack is divine power?"
"Then I'll capture the gods from the other world too, uh..." The God of Life blurted out, but soon realized something was wrong and froze on the spot.
"Oh."
Tang Zijun smiled.
"...Did you notice this paradox?"
"If gods are immortal, then they wouldn't be at the mercy of ordinary people. And if gods are not immortal, then your pursuit has been a complete mistake."
"You blindly want to capture life forms from other worlds for research, even hoping to use this method to fill in the missing parts of this world, but this was impossible from the very beginning..."
"Impossible!" The God of Life's voice rose noticeably, His eyes fixed intently on Tang Zijun. "They are gods, they will understand me!"
"I'm afraid not." Tang Zijun gently shook her head. "You're delusional to think you can use energy from another world to change this world. That's creating something out of nothing, and even the gods of that other world can't fill the gaps in your world..."
"The authority is unique. If you are completed, their world will be incomplete. Moreover, the barriers between worlds cannot allow the power of rules to communicate."
In fact, Tang Zijun had already discovered this long ago.
The dream world isolates the passage to the reverse world, and the wasteland world is also a dimension that the reverse world cannot reach. Even the Shadow Corridor cannot connect to it, which means that the rules of those worlds cannot apply to this world.
Even the gods of Earth, during the War of the Gods, were unable to take their own power of rules to another world to fight; the authority of the gods could only be applied to the world of the gods.
This god of life, or rather these new gods created by humankind, were doomed to failure from the very beginning.
No matter how a distorted world develops, it will ultimately remain distorted.
This cannot be changed.
But the other party clearly wasn't going to give up so easily.
Hearing Tang Zijun's words, the God of Life fell into a long silence.
He seemed to be calculating the truth or falsehood of Tang Zijun's words. After an unknown amount of time, the God of Life slowly raised his head, staring at Tang Zijun with a gloomy gaze.
"You just said... that gods are not immortal, right?"
"uh-huh."
"Then... if I kill your god, does that mean I can allow the creatures of this world to inhabit your world and live in a world without any flaws?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun stroked her chin and pondered for a moment.
He immediately nodded.
"It is theoretically feasible."
Upon hearing this, the God of Life smiled once again.
Tang Zijun smiled too. "But you seem to have misunderstood something."
"What?"
"While I appreciate you providing me with so much information, you must understand that I am not here to discuss the origin and destruction of the world with you, nor am I here to judge your massacres and the destruction of civilizations in your world."
Tang Zijun took a deep breath. "You've intruded into my world without any reason, kidnapping and imprisoning my compatriots. Do you really think this is all over?"
The God of Life frowned slightly, seemingly not quite understanding Tang Zijun's words. "What do you mean?"
'
Simply put...
Tang Zijun curled her lips into a smile, cracking her wrists and making a series of "crackling" sounds.
"I'm here to lend a hand, not to judge right and wrong."
"Do you think you can get out of here today?" The God of Life's gaze turned somewhat dangerous.
Tang Zijun glared back directly. "You think you can just sit there obediently after messing with my people?"
