Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 1005 The beginning of Genesis?

"Missing is indeed a very complicated emotion." Tiantis said, "Obviously, there is nothing in my own world, and it is completely incomparable to the prosperity and vitality of Earth. However, every night when it is quiet, my mother will subconsciously recall the memories of her lonely wandering in the void, and find it difficult to restrain her desire to return to her hometown. Although at that time, she had already understood that for her, the long years she spent in that world were actually as blank as a piece of paper, without any content written down to constitute memories, so it naturally could not be called a hometown."

"However, if we think about it from another perspective, perhaps it is precisely because it is as blank as a blank sheet of paper that my mother couldn't help but want to draw something on it. This idea was not a sudden impulse, but a natural development. It was an idea that she naturally formed in the process of learning Earth culture."

Tiantis glanced at the silent crowd and spoke calmly. It was obvious that what she said was all based on her conjectures based on the pictures. As a latecomer, how could she know what the goddess was thinking at that time? But there was indeed a convincing power in her words, which made people have to believe that it was because the goddess missed her hometown that she came up with the idea of ​​creating a new world.

She called herself "God" in Earth civilization, probably because she was influenced by this idea, because in the myths of all nations, they all mentioned the deeds of gods creating the world and all things, and that was exactly what she wanted to do.

"However, creating a world is not an easy task." Tiantis suddenly chuckled, breaking the silence. "Even if the Earth world is used as a blueprint, the underlying logic of the two worlds is different. The matter, life, nature and civilization on Earth are all formed by natural evolution. History, biology and sociology can explain this long process; but in the new universe, there are great root life forms like Mother, who have the power to shape concepts. This is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can skip the long evolutionary process and make the world become what Mother wants in a very short time; on the other hand, it means that the matter and life, nature and civilization of this world cannot be completely copied from the existing samples on Earth, because those samples were formed in an environment without God; if God exists, what changes will happen? Mother cannot be sure, and is unwilling to take risks."

"Now, let me ask a question." She suddenly stopped talking, looked at the people below with interest, and asked, "Since there is no reference to reality, then where will mother seek new inspiration?"

Some frowned and kept silent, some had thoughtful looks in their eyes. Themis from heaven watched this scene indifferently. She was not angered by the unauthorized questioning of Tiantis. Perhaps she really wanted to know what kind of answers these travelers from afar would give. Could the young queen who had lost her memory still resonate with the deceased goddess and understand Her thoughts at that time?
Saint Shallia's gaze lingered on the dazed Alice for a moment, but the sharp-eyed Linger caught it immediately. It was like a flash of lightning that dispelled the darkness. The young man's pupils shrank and he blurted out, "Is it a fantasy?"

"correct answer."

Tiantis snapped his fingers lightly, and his voice echoed in the quiet control center and spread far away: "In the process of the development of Earth civilization, smart Earthlings did not just bury their heads in reality, but also tried to look up at the stars and put more imagination into magnificent and romantic fantasies. From the myths and long poems of our ancestors in ancient times to the literature and art of the Renaissance. Since the concept of God was originally born out of fantasy, it is obviously most appropriate to create a new world based on fantasy."

"With this in mind, Mother began to get in touch with and gain a deeper understanding of all kinds of fantasy works based on imagination in Earth civilization: poetry, novels, movies, dramas, comics, animations, games, and so on. Do you know which type of fantasy works Mother likes the most?"

She asked another question. This time, before Lingge could think about it, a calm voice came from the side: "I know."

Everyone looked at her in surprise, but Alice remained calm and serious, unlike her usual self, as she said word by word, "It's a game."

"That's right. Alice, it seems you still remember something." Tiantis looked at her deeply, but the latter remained silent and didn't respond. Tiantis didn't take it seriously, and smiled at the people who were surprised by the answer, and explained: "In the world of Earth, games were once considered a pure entertainment activity, but with the development of the times, they have gradually been recognized as a new art. This is because games have effects that other art forms cannot achieve, and that is exactly why Mother favors it, that is, interactivity."

Interactivity?
The audience was thoughtful. They had all been exposed to art forms such as novels, poems and paintings. Because of Alice, they had also been exposed to games, so they naturally knew the difference between the two. The former is static, which means that the audience can only see the content that the creator wants to present to them. As a passive recipient and spectator, their positions are clear. Just like the readers of a novel cannot force the protagonist to choose a route that they are satisfied with just because a certain plot does not suit their wishes; or no matter how touching the performance of a stage play is, the audience sitting in the audience will return to reality the moment the curtain falls.

The lack of interaction is a major feature of traditional art, and it is also an insurmountable flaw. Only a very small number of masters can rely on their excellent talent and amazing appeal to bring the audience into the world they depict and share their imagination with them. The birth of games is a great compensation for this shortcoming, because the purpose of the birth of games is very simple, to allow people to get psychological satisfaction from playing, and playing is the oldest way of interaction since the birth of mankind, in addition to reproduction, gathering and hunting.

Based on this new era of art, the audience is no longer just a spectator, but calls themselves players, personally controlling the game protagonist, and engaging in activities such as adventure, management, reasoning, infiltration, and driving in that fantasy world. The strong sense of interaction allows each player to actively put their own thoughts into the game rather than passively accept it, and the world built on virtual data seems to come alive.

"Mother also hopes that the world she creates is alive, with its own set of rules to maintain the integrity and stability of its structure, which is the underlying code in gaming terms. Every life she will create is a player of this game. While following its underlying code, they can interact freely with the world and be their own protagonist. Whether it is the grass and trees growing towards the sun or the beasts hunting in the forest, it is the most natural part, not like in novels or stage plays, where the world does not exist where the audience cannot see it. It must be alive, just as naturally as we live by breathing."

When Tiantis said this, he took a breath gently, and then slowly exhaled it, looking at the thoughtful crowd with his pure and pure black eyes, as if to let them know how precious the things they have always taken for granted are. When readers read novels, do they imagine whether the protagonist in the story breathes like themselves? When audiences appreciate stage plays, do they imagine that there are countless similar stories happening in the world outside the story?
Seeing with the naked eye is ultimately limited. If you don't interact with it in person, you won't be able to experience that feeling. The genius player Alice once called it the sense of immersion in the game. For the Goddess, She simply wants the new lives in this world to realize that they are alive.

"And, coincidentally, in the creation process of all fantasy works, only making games is the closest to creating a new world." Tiantis glanced at Alice and said meaningfully: "In the service room where super-high computing power computers are placed, a team of more than a thousand people typed more than ten million lines of code day and night. In this way, various necessary elements are filled into the empty skeleton bit by bit, and it is gradually built into a complete model. From the placement of a piece of grass and a stone to the history of a city and a country, all were born in this way. Are they real? Of course not, but if the fanatics on Earth always believe in creationism, they should naturally believe that the process of making games is actually the process of creating the world." The Reality Witch grinned when she said this: "Based on this theory, Mother personally established a game company and began to learn the theoretical knowledge of various game productions as a beginner. You didn't know about that company in the past, but you must be very familiar with it now."

On the screen, the picture flickered again. A hundred-story skyscraper stood tall and straight into the sky. The entire smooth glass curtain wall shone brightly under the sunlight. On the ninety-ninth floor of the building, a girl named Themis, who had changed into a simple and capable dark uniform dress, stood in front of the huge French window, overlooking the holographic projection playing a promotional animation. Her long silver hair fluttered in the wind like a flag, and her golden eyes, which were mixed with longing and hope, clearly reflected a line of letters on the holographic image, which was also the name of the company:
Game Instructions.

Game Command Company.

……

"Genesis Archive Records, Phase 3: In order to seek inspiration for Genesis, the Goddess established the Game Command Company on November 22, 2712 AD in the Earth calendar, and quickly reached a cooperative relationship with peers in the industry, providing some game companies with services such as code programming, original painting, world view architecture supplementation and server maintenance. In this process, the Goddess successfully used her identity to ask these game companies for learning and communication, and all were approved. On October 5, 2725 AD, the Goddess, who had completed all theoretical studies, decided to return to the universe where she came from to build the underlying code and basic model for the real Genesis. In the current understandable terms, it is to establish the basic laws and operating logic of the new world."

"The founder and president of Game Command are not the same person. Although the founder is very rich and built a luxurious museum, he doesn't seem to have produced any famous games. Therefore, Game Command was not very well-known at that time. Even in the game industry, not many people had heard of it. The situation did not improve until the founder resigned in the name of returning home to visit relatives and handed over the position to the current president. However, because her resignation and the new president's appointment were too sudden, many people suspected that there was some conspiracy and imagined a lot of business dramas on the Internet."

Themis's bland statement and Alice's enjoyable gossip were still echoing in her ears, and the two magically corresponded to each other.

Therefore, it is not that the founder of the Game Command Company has not produced any famous games, but the greatest games she has produced are unknown to the people on Earth. If those game companies knew that she had guided the creation of a god, they would surely be so surprised that their jaws would drop to the ground, right?

"So," Ling Ge rubbed his brows, looked at the emotionless face of Themis in the heavens, and asked, "The so-called return home to visit relatives actually means that the goddess went back to Genesis, and then you took over the position of president?"

"Conclusion: Wrong."

Themis of the Celestial Realm denied this speculation without hesitation, and said expressionlessly: "When the goddess returned to the new universe to create the world, she did not go home to visit her family, but simply told the company employees that she would be away for a while. The incident you mentioned is not part of the content of the Genesis file, and it will be recorded in the subsequent files."

Not the same thing?

Ling Ge was startled for a moment, and then realized that he had mixed up the time sequence. When the goddess decided to create the world, Themis and the young royal powers had not yet been born, so this situation could not have happened.

However, according to Themis, after completing the creation of the world, the goddess stayed on Earth for a while, and finally returned to the Mirror Star in the name of visiting relatives, and never returned; combined with the repeated insistence of Themis and Tiantis that the goddess had died, could it be...

The young man's eyes flickered, and he vaguely grasped the context of the matter.

The archive screen displayed on the screen did not stop because of his thinking, but continued to move forward in an orderly manner, and finally came to the most critical node of the entire archive, which was -

Genesis.
