Humans Must Not Contemplate the Actions of Gods
A little while later.
After Elysia's detailed description, Su Xi suddenly understood.
As the Creator God of the Yuan Continent, Elysia can create anything with just a thought. She can create anything that is in the imagination of humankind.
This raises a problem: she thought that what she created only required four conditions: identity setting, backstory, appearance, and abilities.
Take the Holy Tree of the Elf race as an example. She sets the Holy Tree as the mother goddess of the Elf race, with the background of being the first tree at the beginning of creation. Its appearance is that of a very huge tree, and its abilities include life magic, elemental magic, and nurturing elven life.
In Elysia's opinion, her character design was perfect and there shouldn't be any flaws.
From the perspective of a programmer working in a game development department, there is indeed no problem. Most game NPCs are designed this way, and most people don't even think there's anything wrong with these four conditions.
But Elysia overlooked a crucial issue.
Her game is not a normal game, but a game created using the laws of creation. In addition to these four conditions, she should also consider one other condition: behavior.
Or you could call it consciousness, or soul.
As the Holy Tree of the Elf race, it also has a set behavior: to protect its own people.
However, perhaps due to Elysia's laziness, this part of the information was not set in detail, which resulted in the Holy Tree 'Holy Tree behavior being realized by the laws of creation within the scope of the four conditions of creation after its creation.
This includes, but is not limited to, randomly selecting a suitable soul from anywhere to fill the missing parts of the Holy Tree, allowing the Holy Tree to naturally develop consciousness, or randomly copying a human soul to fill a void in the Holy Tree, etc.
Of course, in retrospect, the method the Law of Creation used to bring the Holy Tree back to life was to pull a soul from the starry sky, since the consciousness within the Holy Tree was previously that of Iksil, the Guardian Deity of the Star Sen Star Race...
Su Xi looked up at the ceiling and sighed helplessly.
Considering Elysia's actions and the example of Iksil, even Su Xi herself couldn't say for sure how many NPCs in the Meta World were actually locals (naturally grown up)...
It's hard to say, but the other six Evil God in the Meta World all have unclear origins.
Besides Esti being clearly his junior sister, there's probably something wrong with that Death Herl Emperor, otherwise why would he keep helping him?
Su Xi narrowed her eyes and thought to herself.
As for the issue of Space-Time Vortex, it's quite simple.
Because he was too lazy to design the follow-up to that lucky quest, Yuan Yi created a maze that required the application of advanced mathematics knowledge, and then set up Bronze Dragon that would be trapped in the maze because it didn't know math, pitifully waiting for the player to rescue it.
Of course, it's not really a problem if the Bronze Dragon doesn't know math. After all, a maze that requires advanced university-level mathematics is not something an ordinary person can do, and the Yuan Continent doesn't have a proper mathematics discipline. Even if it did, Arnos would most likely not study it.
But to prevent the dragon from leaving, she also put a lock on it and set it so that Arnos couldn't do math problems.
Elysia, I'm really crying.
The concept of 'your future self' is even more outrageous.
If we were to describe Elysia's creation using basic computer knowledge, it would be like pressing CTRL+V, then adding some documents containing spacetime laws to the copy, and also applying spacetime textures to the surrounding space...
As for how it was ultimately achieved, Elysia didn't bother with it.
The implementation process was too outrageous for Su Xi, a former programmer.
Because Elysia ignored it, the laws of creation filled this area with the [Star Shatter Path] that met the conditions.
So-called cosmic wonders are all unique. Simply put, if you can perfectly replicate the characteristics of the Star Shatter Path, then your Star Shatter Path is the Star Shatter Path in the starry sky. In other words, after creating this thing, the Star Shatter Path is equivalent to two different spacetimes appearing at the same time. This involves the theory of four-dimensional space, which is too long to go into.
Under the influence of the laws of creation and the Star Shatter Path, Su Xi couldn't say what the Space-Time Vortex would become, especially since White Clad Sword Immortal and Palace Dress Woman had already appeared.
Elysia's actions can be seen as those of a programmer manipulating an AI. The programmer designed the framework of the world, set four conditions for its creation, and then let the AI fill in the entire world.
Thankfully, her divine status was reliable; otherwise, Su Xi couldn't even imagine what kind of mess would have ended up.
Thinking of this, Su Xi inexplicably recalled the knowledge she had learned from Esti in her previous life: [Initially Meta World was filled with bizarre and chaotic things, with the sky and earth collapsing. Then this spiritual world began to evolve, using the real world and human imagination as its materials, eventually transforming into a relatively stable space.]
This bizarre, earth-shattering mess... could it be some kind of mess created by Yuan Yi's divine essence during trial and error?
This is understandable, since all games need to be tested. Before the public beta, any game may be in a mess, and it can be fixed before the public beta.
In short, the fact that the Meta World has been able to operate to this day Yuan Yi largely thanks to the power of the Creation-level Godhood; otherwise, if it had any shortcomings, the Meta World would not have been able to launch its public beta.
"Hey, after all, I created a game world. Shouldn't I refer to how humans understand and construct game worlds?" Elysia asked with a puzzled look.
"Ah, right, right..."
Su Xi was too lazy to explain, since she couldn't overuse her divine power right now anyway.
There's no point in modifying a game that's already finished.
The reason Elysia couldn't recognize her mistakes was because creating the Meta World was too easy for her, requiring very little effort.
However, for players, the Meta World ceased to be a simple game world from the moment it entered reality.
Many people even agree that the Meta World is actually another real world.
Furthermore, since she created them herself, Elysia views NPCs merely as tools used to advance the plot, so it's normal that she doesn't care about their core purpose...
If today's players knew that the Creator God Yuan Yi viewed the NPCs he created in this way, they would probably be dumbfounded.
After all, the Holy Grace Divine Cult in the game kept promoting how great Yuan Yi was, but Yuan Yi only treated them as props.
All I can say is that humans cannot contemplate the actions of God, or they will go mad.
Of course, this outcome is also due to the fact that Yuan Yi god of human consciousness. As a god born from human consciousness, her thoughts and ideas naturally prioritize humanity. This is her divine duty and the source of her power.
Since she doesn't consider the NPCs she creates to be human, they can only be tools.
"As for that river... um... I remember I set it as the road to the world of death. Since it leads to the world of death, the river is naturally the road to the underworld. However, I set it to be called the 'Sea of Death'."
That's actually the Sea of Death, a level 90 area...
Su Xi thought of the boat-rowing skeleton in the straw raincoat, shuddered, and said, "... It's sewn quite well. Don't sew it again next time; it's kind of scary."
Elysia: "Are you scared? They're just some fake projections."
"Don't tell me it's fake. I'm terrified to say the word 'fake' to you now. The laws you told me about inside the Space-Time Vortex before were also fake!"
Haha, really?
Su Xi vomited blood.
Finally, let's talk about Theresa's Eternal Imprisonment Weapon, which is actually a Demigod Godhead. As long as all twelve Spear of Light are collected, her Life Level can be evolved to demigod.
(The part in brackets [] refers to Chapter 3. I saw a comment saying Remilia's name was wrong, and when I checked, it was true—it was typed as Remy. Then I searched it up, and wow, there were hundreds of other misspelled names! I was so frustrated.)
