The Library of the Universe
The sensation of wandering through the Cosmic Library persists. The magnificent cosmic map woven by countless stars was simultaneously an infinitely vast sea of knowledge. Within that sea, I could focus my consciousness on each star, each galaxy, catching glimpses of their history, their culture, their future. It was an unimaginable volume of information, my mind constantly filled with new knowledge. Yet, within that vast sea of information, I discovered a single pattern, a single law. It was like a grand musical composition governing the entire universe. The woman in the robe stood quietly beside me, observing. Her expression was complex, a mix of surprise, awe, and a faint unease. “...Did you find something?” Her gentle voice broke the silence. “Yes,” I answered slowly. “I found something... like a single piece of music governing the entire universe. It might be the true form of the words of creation.” I couldn't explain that pattern in words. It was something beyond words, something sensory. The harmony of the universe, the movement of the stars, the rotation of the galaxies... all of it resonated within my soul as a single melody. “A melody...?” The woman in the robe repeated quietly. “What kind of melody is it?” “It's... hard to explain. It's something understood not through words, but through feeling. The harmony of the universe, the movement of the stars, the rotation of the galaxies... all of it resonates as one grand melody. And within that melody, I feel the future of the world and the destiny of all existence woven together.” I tried to convey a fragment of that melody to her. But words could not capture its beauty, its complexity, its profound depth. “...Can it be controlled?” A hint of unease mingled in her words. “...I don't know yet. But if we understand that melody and find a way to play it, we might be able to control everything in this universe. Or... perhaps destroy it.” Wandering through the cosmic library, I began to slowly, carefully analyze that grand composition. It promised to be a long and arduous journey, but I was prepared to undertake it. For two thousand years, I had sought knowledge. And now, I was about to approach the truth of the universe. Touching that truth held immense joy, enough to shake my soul, and at the same time, immense danger.
