People are always pursuing satisfaction, and people are always chasing utopia.
Elizabeth did not go directly to settle in the Paris of her dreams because she wanted to see more.
Transcend time and space, step into higher dimensions, and control the rifts in time and space. The material world is a particle to Elizabeth, so uniform and dense. Now she can use the rifts to send the rivers and mountains on the earth to outer space.
Moving future materials to primitive society, as she matures and learns, this ability will continue to increase. Perhaps one day, Elizabeth can play with the stars, like turning the gravel on a plate. By that time, for her,
, the long life of the universe is just an ordinary sigh.
Elizabeth stared at the history of mankind. From the time when the ancient apes came down from the tree, she took a fleeting look at it for thousands of years and ten thousand years. She witnessed ancient humans building the first temple in Anatolia, Turkey, and witnessed industry.
The machine starts up and capital expands around the world. When Afu
When the gunfire of the Leer sounded, Elizabeth strolled on the roof of the Winter Palace. When the red flag fell, she also ran along the snowy streets with the chaotic carnival crowd. She was in Gorky Village in 1924, and in 1967
Bolivia, Burkina Faso in 1987…
It took human civilization nearly 12,000 years to give its own answer. Later, Elizabeth saw destroyed planets and prosperous space cities. The tide of history rolled forward, and many things did not need to be repeated.
Words. Waves can be stopped, sparks can be extinguished, but tsunamis cannot be stopped, and wildfires cannot be extinguished. The short-lived appearance of new things is not the destruction of meteors, but the clarion call of a new world.
Elizabeth now understood what was in Booker's heart and what pulled him up from Wounded Knee. After witnessing everything and knowing everything, she understood that an existence like her own was actually insignificant to the course of history.
It is true that she has the ability to throw the earth into the sun or pull the moon to the sea level. She can destroy mankind or create a Garden of Eden to feed mankind. She can change the present by preventing the death of historical figures, and she can also plan to reverse the past.
In the future, Elizabeth has this ability, and in her endless hours of study, she also has the corresponding knowledge.
However, she is still insignificant to history.
Only God can be God if he does not participate in the human process. Once he participates, he cannot go against the laws of history.
If Elizabeth stood on the shore, she could witness how mankind uses revolution to redeem all suffering in time, so that all painful and lost souls have a destination. At this time, she will not be bound by any ethics.
But if she tries to participate in changing a certain tragedy, she will inevitably become a part of history and have an impact on its process. She can use her utmost efforts to achieve the future she wants to see, but that is limited to this. God is involved.
Human history is just one category among countless possibilities. For God, participating in it is the biggest failure.
What a ridiculous result. Facing the absurdity, Elizabeth didn't know what to say or do for a moment.
She wanted to know how her kind dealt with this situation.
So she went to find the Lutes siblings first.
Female Lutes: "Oh, long time no see."
Male Lutes: "It didn't take long."
Woman: “To her, it’s like this, but to us, it’s just a blink of an eye.”
Male: "All viewers can say this. In fact, all the girl's experiences and thoughts are not memorable. They are so bland that they only need to be brushed off."
Woman: "Seeing history clearly is an amazing feat in itself. Many readers can clearly see the entries in the books in their hands, but they are ignorant of the history they live in. From this situation, what difference does it make whether or not you become a god?
?”
Elizabeth asked for advice: "How should I face this result? What did you do?"
Lutes said in unison: "Do nothing."
Woman: “Or do everything.”
Man: "Doing nothing means you can do anything. Go to Paris and eat a piece of bread by the Seine River, then go to ancient China to watch fireworks and listen to Celtic songs. We can do all of these, but only that."
Woman: "You can go to someone else and ask if there is anything worthy of a God spending His long years."
So Elizabeth found Lu Zongping again.
He opened a bar on an alien planet and had guests from countless universes.
When Elizabeth went to the bar, cyber hacker V and a group of good friends were drinking tequila, Saiyan Sun Wukong was chatting with Uzumaki Naruto, and Master Guanyin, who was holding a coffee cup, recommended a horse hoof care set to My Little Pony with a smile.
A variety of strange and reasonable scenes are eye-catching.
Lu Zongping saw the girl as gentle as the sea coming over and said hello with a smile, "Want something to drink? I'll take it."
Elizabeth ordered a cup of coffee, and the curious customers around her would ask about her origins. For a moment, it didn't feel like she had entered a bar, but more like attending a banquet that never ended.
"Where is this place?" she asked curiously.
"The bar, the collection center for weird things in the universe, and the backstage lounge." Lu Zongping said, "The characters should have a place to go after the story is over, otherwise it will be the same as death. You are welcome to come at any time, many people will think
I know you."
Elizabeth turned her head and saw a DND illithid raising a glass to her, its twitching tentacles trying to look friendly. She smiled and nodded in response.
"That's really interesting here. Is that your answer?"
"What answer?"
"About finding a destination for yourself after understanding everything. To be honest, actually..."
"Actually, they are just like mortals, right? That's the truth. For people who read the story, the characters in the story are just microcosms of reality. We jump out of time and space but cannot jump out of the frame. We transcend human civilization, but we can't jump out of the frame.
There is no escape from human symbolic narratives. From this point of view, Gods and humans are the product of two classes. Gods are just people without restraints. On the contrary, if there are restraints, Gods are just humans."
“Interesting statement.”
Lu Zongping showed his often stingy smile again, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood, "How are you? Have you found the answer in your heart?"
Elizabeth responded with a bright smile, nodded, and then said, "I know, but I have another question. Why do you want to help Booker?"
Lu Zongping blinked mysteriously, "Didn't you ask me for help?"
Elizabeth also blinked, "That's it, thank you."
"If a space-time closed loop is added with some variables, will it change? Now it seems that the answer is clear." Lu Zongping was satisfied.
