Chapter 34 - Origin, process, and outcome-01

THE GOBAL OF ALL LIFE IS DEATH

Everything in the universe is death—finality—and from that finality arises rebirth. 

Our Creator does not depart because of the universe's demise, but rather struggles and attempts to survive as their race is fated to decline gradually through prolonged exhaustion and war. Within the Creator's dimensional universe, an abundance of elements exists, nurturing powerful beings and bestowing upon this dimension weapons beyond physical laws—technological limits, magical elements, arcane lifeforms, Daoist projections, biomechanical entities, electronic intelligences, and more. These creatures either possess formidable physical forms or compensate for racial weaknesses using natural and technological elements, enabling diverse intelligent species to continuously elevate their civilizations over eons—from basic elemental foundations to vast expansions across cosmic dimensions. The mighty monsters described in the ancient *Classic of Mountains and Seas*, along with various weapons and magic seen in sci-fi comics and novels, all flourish and evolve within this universe. When civilizations reach a certain level, war becomes inevitable.

The purpose of war is resource acquisition and tribal expansion. Inevitably, many advanced civilizations perish in these conflicts—even the most brilliant, equipped with the most sophisticated machinery and technology, will ultimately fall. 

The ancestors of humanity—the Creators—are humanoid gene-based beings whose physical bodies are relatively weak, yet they excel in mastering technology and weaponry. Through exploration, inter-species warfare, and countless other means, they grew stronger until becoming one of the most dominant civilizations in their universe. This civilization assimilates traits from numerous races; due to war, through extinction and absorption, its genetic database contains rich codes and formulas from countless species. During its expansion phase, it even attempted billions of times to transcend universal rules, launching exploratory jumps and dimensional traversals. Yet, despite such ultimate advancement, constrained by the laws of this particular universe and lacking access to external dimensional rules, breakthroughs remain utterly impossible. As previously mentioned, the rules governing other universes differ fundamentally from those here. Dimensional transfer—though seemingly possible—remains essentially unattainable. So then, how did they ultimately succeed and enter our solar system? That detail and reason will be discussed later.

First, let us address why our Creators were forced to migrate: war. Conflict has become unavoidable between the Creators and other races. The primary reason is that the Creators are merely one of the highest civilizations in their universe—not the only one. As their power expanded, so did their territory and technological capabilities. Though the universe is vast, endless growth eventually led them to encounter another force capable of challenging them.

At its core, war is a struggle for resources. Two immense and powerful civilizations engage in relentless destruction and slaughter, resulting inevitably in mutual annihilation. Even if each possesses billions of star systems, the ceaseless war drives both sides to systematically destroy each other's resources and galaxies. Destruction is always easier than creation. Over hundreds of millennia, both factions constantly strive to obliterate everything the other holds, forcing them to continually enhance productivity while learning from their opponent's technologies—like two versions of yourself fighting endlessly. Eventually, neither side achieves victory, but mutual ruin.

Likewise, during the war, countless other species are also wiped out. And we, the creators of humanity, were once a dominant species among all civilized beings. As civilization advanced, we assimilated vast amounts of genetic material from countless other species. One of these systems, amid prolonged warfare, came to realize the ultimate consequence of endless conflict—extinction. For this reason, while continuing their wars, they also relentlessly explored, struggled, and reflected on ways to preserve their own civilization. War is like that: whether victorious or defeated, the outcome of failure is predetermined, and in that lies an advantage—this was one of the truths the creators learned through their relentless expansion. Imagine if the creators had been so foolish and irrational; they would have long been conquered and destroyed during their own process of civilizational expansion and conquest.
