"Dissatisfied with Hakoba? Why?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka tilted her head slightly in confusion. In response, Sun Wukong rubbed his chin and said:

"If you want to talk about the reasons, it can be said that there are various reasons."

"To give you a simple example, um... do you know the [Omnipotence Paradox]?"

"Ah, I know this."

The paradox of omnipotence can also be called the paradox of God.

The origin may be that in response to the religious propaganda that "God is omnipotent", someone raised a question tit for tat - Can God create a stone that cannot be moved by himself?

If the Holy See answers 'Yes', then God cannot move the stone He created, so God is not omnipotent; if the Holy See answers 'No', then God cannot create a stone He cannot move, so God is not omnipotent. of.

This is the so-called omnipotence paradox. Its meaning is to point out that "God is not omnipotent", and it is also aimed at all beings claiming to be "omnipotent".

"Exactly."

Sun Wukong nodded, then shrugged and said:

"In fact, the concept of [Almighty Paradox] has also been introduced into the Box Garden, as well as some other similar concepts. This is also a major reason for the dissatisfaction of many gods."

In the Little Garden, the three-digit realm is also called the [Omnipotent Field], which refers to the field with all abilities, that is, omnipotent. However, due to the existence of the [Omnipotence Paradox], it is impossible for the [Omnipotence Field] to achieve omnipotence in the literal sense.

Coupled with various other similar restrictions, in the end, the three-digit experts in the small garden can only exert about half of their strength.

"And not only the three-digit figures, but the two-digit experts above that are even more restricted, and are not even allowed to take action at will in the small garden."

"That's it..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka could somewhat understand the mood of the gods who were dissatisfied with this, but at the same time, she also had some doubts in her heart.

The [Omnipotence Paradox] was a paradox proposed several centuries ago, and at her time, this paradox could be considered solved to a certain extent.

And this involves mentioning the microscopic realm that is still dark for humans, which is a concept in quantum mechanics, [quantum superposition].

[Quantum superposition] means that a quantum system can be in a superposition of different quantum states.

There is a very famous explanation for [Quantum Superposition], namely [Schrödinger’s Cat], which roughly means——

Put a cat in a closed container containing a small amount of radium and cyanide. There is a chance that radium will decay. If the radium decays, it will trigger the mechanism to break the bottle containing cyanide, and the cat will die; if the radium does not decay, the cat will die. Decay, and the cat survives.

According to the theory of quantum mechanics, since radioactive radium is in a superposition of two states: decay and non-decay, the cat should be in a superposition of dead and alive until it is disturbed by an observer.

Putting it on the [Omnipotence Paradox], it can also be explained using the quantum superposition principle——

That is, God can create a stone that He cannot lift, and He can also lift it. At this time, God is in a superposition state of being able to move and being unable to move.

Not only that, there is actually a simpler explanation——

Paradoxes exist based on logic, and logic exists based on human cognition. However, God’s omnipotence can transcend human cognition and is not bound by logic, so there is no self-contradiction problem in paradoxes.

After explaining the above situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked puzzledly:

"In short, why are the gods of Little Garden restricted by the [Omnipotence Paradox]?"

Sun Wukong did not answer immediately, but after looking at her in surprise for a moment, he couldn't help but admire:

"...I didn't expect that, little junior sister, you are so knowledgeable. Do you even know all this knowledge?"

"Uh, no."

After hearing her words, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"It's just that I happen to be more interested in these weird and weird knowledge."

When it comes to being knowledgeable or something like that, he seems to think too highly of her.

"That's pretty awesome!"

Sun Wukong seemed to have transformed into the captain of the boast team, which made Fujimaru Ritsuka even more embarrassed. Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong smiled and returned to the topic:

"You are right. The former is also one of the reasons why the [Omnipotence Paradox] did not completely bind the gods. However, the current situation is caused by the addition of many other factors."

"As for the latter, it contains a premise, that is, 'gods can transcend human cognition,' but this involves a more important question - did gods create humans? Or did humans create gods?"

"……ah."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, and then reacted instantly——

If gods created humans, then gods can naturally transcend human cognition; but on the contrary, if humans created gods, then gods should of course abide by human logic.

This philosophical thinking of "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" has not yet been determined in Hako Garden, and it also determines the ultimate question of "Who created Hako Garden?"

"hiss--"

Thinking of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Just what she has learned so far about the situation in the Little Garden is enough to cause a headache, and judging from Sun Wukong's tone, this seems to be only part of the problems faced by the gods of the Little Garden.

Out of the reach of the lower-level community, the small garden has become a super troublesome collection of various problems entangled with each other, which are constantly being sorted out and messed up, and the whole body is affected by one move!

"But not only that, there is also the [Final Trial of Humanity] mentioned just now, which is also one of the most troublesome problems for the gods."

Sun Wukong continued.

The essence of [Humanity’s Final Trial] is actually the ‘factor α that destroys all human beings’, which is the incarnation of all factors in the past, present, and future that will lead to the destruction of human history, that is, eschatology.

And due to the current state of intertwining between gods and human history, as long as one of them perishes, the other will also be destroyed. Therefore, [The Final Trial of Humanity] is not only a disaster for human history, but also a disaster for the gods.

However, the gods can never defeat [The Final Trial of Humanity], because those who can overcome it must be humans.

Because there are so many troublesome situations, it is natural for more and more gods to be dissatisfied with Hakoden. The more important problem is that these problems seem to be directed at the gods, and each of them is an unfavorable condition for them.

"In short, this is the status quo."

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to understand the current trouble, Sun Wukong smiled helplessly and continued:

"Of course, the gods are also discussing how to solve the above problems. After all, they can't just sit back and wait for death."

That seems okay.

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief, but opposite her, Sun Wukong's smile gradually cooled down, and his tone was calm, as if he spoke without a trace of emotion:

"Among the methods proposed by the gods, there is one plan that is quite popular now -"

"That means abandoning the current Hako Garden and building a new Hako Garden."

"...Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
