Chapter 602: Want to build a new box garden?
"Are you dissatisfied with the little garden? Why?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka tilted his head slightly in confusion. In response, Sun Wukong stroked his chin and said:
"If you want to know the reasons, there are many reasons."

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

"Ah, I know that."

The omnipotence paradox can also be called the God paradox.

The origin of this is probably that in response to the religious belief that "God is omnipotent", someone raised a question in response - can God create a stone that he cannot move?
If the Vatican answers "yes", then God cannot move the stone he created, so God is not omnipotent; if the Vatican answers "no", then God cannot create a stone he cannot move, so God is not omnipotent either.

This is the so-called omnipotence paradox, which means that God is not omnipotent. It is also directed at all beings that claim to be omnipotent.

"exactly."

Sun Wukong nodded, then shrugged and said:
"In fact, the concept of [Omnipotence Paradox] has also been introduced into the box garden, along with some other similar concepts. This is also a major reason why many gods are dissatisfied."

In the Little Garden, the three-digit realm is also called the [omnipotent realm], which refers to the realm with all abilities, that is, omnipotence. However, due to the existence of the [omnipotence paradox], the [omnipotent realm] cannot achieve omnipotence in the literal sense.

Coupled with various other similar restrictions, the ultimate result is that in the small garden, the three-digit strong people can only exert about half of their strength.

"And it's not just the three-digit ones. The two-digit strongmen above this are subject to more restrictions. They are not even allowed to attack freely in the box."

"That's it..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka could more or less understand the feelings of the gods who were dissatisfied with this, but at the same time, she was also a little confused.

The [Omnipotence Paradox] is a paradox proposed several centuries ago, and at the point in her time, this paradox can be considered to have been solved to some extent.

This brings us to the microscopic field which is still shrouded in darkness for human beings, that is, a concept in quantum mechanics, quantum superposition.

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

There is a very famous explanation for [quantum superposition], namely [Schrödinger's cat], which roughly means:

A cat is locked in a sealed container containing a small amount of radium and cyanide. There is a probability that the radium will decay. If the radium decays, it will trigger a mechanism to break the bottle containing cyanide and the cat will die; if the radium does not decay, the cat will survive.

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

Put it on the [Omnipotence Paradox], it can also be explained by the principle of quantum superposition -

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 "can lift" and "cannot lift".

Not only that, there is actually a simpler explanation -

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

After explaining the above situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked in confusion:
"In short, why are the gods of the Little Garden bound by the [Omnipotence Paradox]?"

Sun Wukong did not answer immediately, but looked at her in surprise for a moment, and could not help but exclaimed:
"...I didn't expect that you, Junior Sister, are so knowledgeable. Do you know all this knowledge?"

"Uh, no."

Hearing her words, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said:
"It's just that I happen to be more interested in these strange and bizarre knowledge."

To say she is well-read is a bit of an overstatement. "That's impressive too!"

Sun Wukong seemed to have transformed into the captain of the Kua Kua team, making Fujimaru Ritsuka feel even more embarrassed. 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] has not completely bound the gods. However, the current situation is caused by many other factors."

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

"……what."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, 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.

However, the philosophical question of "which came first, the chicken or the egg" has not yet been determined in the sandbox, and it also determines the ultimate question of "who created the sandbox".

"hiss--"

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

Just what she knew about the situation in the small garden was enough to give her a headache, and judging from Sun Wukong's tone, this seemed to be only part of the problems faced by the gods in the small garden.

In places that the lower-level community cannot reach, the sandbox has become a super troublesome collection of various problems entangled with each other, which is difficult to sort out and one move can affect the whole body!

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

Sun Wukong continued.

The essence of [The Final Trial of Humanity] is actually the 'factor α that will destroy everything about humanity', which is the embodiment of all factors in the past, present, and future that will lead to the demise of human history, i.e. eschatology.

And because the history of gods and humans is now intertwined, if one side 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 anyone who can overcome it must be human.

Because of so many troublesome situations, it is natural that more and more gods are dissatisfied with the box garden. The more important problem is that these problems seem to be targeting the gods, and each one is unfavorable to them.

“That’s the status quo anyway.”

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, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

This seems to be okay.

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief, but opposite her, Sun Wukong's smile gradually cooled, and he spoke in a flat tone, as if without a trace of emotion:
"Among the methods proposed by the gods, one is quite popular nowadays—"

"That means abandoning the current small garden and building a new one."

"……Eh?"

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