星神 Aeons
星神行于各自「命途」，祂们的存在扑朔迷离。 The Aeons each tread on THEIR own Paths, and THEIR existence is shrouded in mystery.
克里珀 Qlipoth
关联条目 - 「存护」 Related Entry — The Preservation
……「存护」克里珀，与「贪饕」奥博洛斯同为宇宙中已知最古老的星神。我曾经对祂很有兴趣，毕竟琥珀历最早的近两百纪历史几乎是一片空白。这个大石头/琥珀是什么生物？祂从哪来，如何成为星神，又干嘛孜孜不倦地筑墙？问题很多，但无处求解。公司把克里珀的信息封锁得太好了，对他们来说，琥珀王简直是真正而唯一的神，容不得半点轻慢。从公司那里，我什么有用的情报都没拿到。相比之下，博识学会对「存护」就没什么敬畏……
...Qlipoth the Preservation is the oldest known Aeon in the universe alongside Oroboros the Voracity. I was once very interested in Qlipoth, as the first two centuries in the Amber Era were almost completely blank. What creature is this giant rock/amber? Where did THEY come from? How did THEY become an Aeon? And why are THEY tirelessly making a wall? There are many questions surrounding THEM, but the answers are nowhere to be found. The IPC is doing too good of a job keeping Qlipoth's information a secret. These people regard the Amber Lord as the one true god and allow not even the smallest transgression towards the Aeon. I didn't get any useful information out of the IPC. In contrast, the Intelligentsia Guild has a lot less respect for the Preservation...

……瞧不起博识学会，我却挺喜欢他们。同样是「智识」的追随者，这群学士没有俱乐部的桀骜脾气，大多很朴实，问什么答什么。按照编辑克利欧的说法，0-180琥珀纪并不像公司宣称的那样空白。多项考古发现证明在「存护」登神的初期古兽依然活跃，这和公司的说法：「『黄昏战争』因琥珀王的诞生而终结」相违背。甚至还有一种假说，认为在克里珀之前已经存在其祂的星神……用小拇指想想也知道，公司肯定不会支持这种研究，他们用经费投资胁迫星空生态学派放弃了这类考古。这也是我不再对克里珀感兴趣的原因：公司实在是太烦了……
...I don't respect the Intelligentsia Guild, but I like them. They are also followers of Erudition but have none of the arrogance and temper of the Genius Society members. They are also down-to-earth and answer honestly when asked. According to Cleo the editor, the period between AE 0 and 180 was not as much a blank as the IPC had claimed. Many archeological discoveries proved that Leviathans were still active in the early days after the Preservation ascended, which goes against the IPC's official line that "the Dusk Wars ended with the birth of the Amber Lord." There is even a hypothesis that other Aeons already existed before Qlipoth did... I can tell that the IPC won't fund such research from a mile off. Using threats to withdraw funding, the IPC coerced the Astral Ecology School to give up on these archeological projects, and that's why I'm no longer interested in Qlipoth. The IPC is just too annoying...

……我很好奇，筑城者是如何获得星神的启示，提前修筑抵御外敌的高墙？毕竟克里珀不怎么关心凡人，俯瞰众生更像「秩序」太一的行为——这两位星神若有交情倒也正常，毕竟「存护」和「秩序」存在交汇的领域。说真的，我蛮欣赏太一，祂浑身散发着古老帝国的光辉，像是庄严的大理石，这也与克里珀有几分相似——祂们身上都有守护神的影子，只是形式并不相同。总之，塔伊兹育罗斯的陨落似与「存护」直接相关，我想唯有那神力缠绕的巨锤，才可能洞穿另一位神的躯体。只是历史的全貌远不止于此，我实在难以确定星神的交手方式……
...I'm curious. How did the Architects receive inspiration from their Aeon in advance to build the towering walls to resist enemies from the outside? After all, Qlipoth cares little for mortals, and observing living beings is a behavior more familiar to Ena the Order. I suppose it makes sense for these two Aeons to have communal responsibilities. After all, there is some overlap between Preservation and Order. To tell the truth, I really admire Ena. THEY exude the glory of the old empires like majestic marble, which is also somewhat similar to Qlipoth — THEY both feel similar to protector gods, albeit not entirely the same. Anyway, the fall of Tayzzyronth seems to be directly linked to the Preservation. I think only that giant hammer wrapped in divine power can penetrate the body of another god. It's just that there's so much more to history than that. I'm really struggling to ascertain the way Aeons fight...
浮黎 Fuli
关联条目 - 「记忆」 Related Entry — The Remembrance
……宇宙中神秘的星神多了去了，这个浮黎更是高深莫测。整个俱乐部加上公司加上博识学会，居然没人知道祂是什么时候诞生的。「记忆」的星神悄悄地出现在宇宙史里，自然而然顺理成章，就好像祂修改了所有人的记忆一样。浮黎在凡人面前现身的次数屈指可数，根据影像资料记载，祂的形象就如同水晶雕琢的人像，面容模糊不清，头戴一顶珠帘垂落的冠冕。如果「记忆」浮黎现身，一定会发生什么令人终生难忘的大事。但我觉得因果关系应当颠倒一下：或许浮黎是为了将那一瞬铭刻在宇宙的记忆之中，才来到那里呢？……
...There are plenty of mysterious Aeons in the universe, and Fuli is particularly enigmatic. Nobody in the entire Genius Society and the IPC and the Intelligentsia Guild knows when THEY were even born. The Aeon of Remembrance had quietly appeared in the annals of the universe as if THEY were meant to be here, as if THEY had altered everyone's memory. Fuli rarely presents THEMSELF before mortals. According to video evidence, THEY visually look like a humanoid figure carved out of crystal, with indistinguishable facial features and wearing a diadem with a curtain of pearls covering THEIR face. The appearance of Fuli the Remembrance always signals an important event is about to happen, but I think maybe the cause and effect should be flipped — Perhaps Fuli only shows up to record that event in the universe's memories...?

……很幸运，浮黎有据可查的一次现身，恰好是星际和平公司创始人兼终身名誉董事路易斯•弗莱明的最后一次对外露面。因此，在公司的档案里，保存了星神出现到离开的完整录像。那时，老弗莱明正在致辞，宣布将永久隐居，不再出席一切正式或非正式活动。考虑到他那时的岁数，大概是活腻了吧。就在他话音还未落的时候，彩光突如霞照，令在场的人大惊失色。「记忆」浮黎像幽灵一样，仿佛从空气中凝结般，出现在路易斯•弗莱明的面前。象征「财富」的人类和代表「记忆」的星神短暂对视，可能说了什么，也可能没说，反正录像没有拍到。接着，浮黎消失了，路易斯•弗莱明转身走开，从此再没出现在世人的视线里。说真的，这老头子是我见过面对星神最镇定的人，就连螺丝咕姆见到博识尊的时候，机轴都会咯吱作响哩……
...Fortunately, the one time that Fuli's arrival was recorded was the last public appearance of Louis Fleming, the founder and lifetime honorable Board member of the Interastral Peace Corporation. Therefore, the IPC's archives preserved the complete recording of the Aeon's manifestation from the start to the end. Old Fleming was giving a speech at the time and declaring he was going to permanently retire from all official and unofficial events. Given how old he was, he was probably tired of living. But just as he was finishing the speech, there was suddenly a rainbow-colored light that threw everyone into disarray. Like a wraith that appeared in thin air, Fuli the Remembrance had condensed into being before Louis Fleming. The human representing wealth and the Aeon representing remembrance briefly locked eyes with each other. Maybe they exchanged some words, or maybe they didn't — The recording didn't manage to catch that. Fuli then disappeared, and Louis Fleming turned and walked off the stage, never to be seen again. Seriously, out of everyone who had faced an Aeon, that old man was the calmest I've seen. Even Screwllum's gears squeaked when he saw Nous...

……浮黎，祂着实难以揣摩。我很怀疑「记忆」的诞育是否与那场声势浩瀚的众星陨落有关，那无可计数的生命消亡前最后的哀嚎啼哭，令我震撼万分。唉，都怪「贪饕」奥博洛斯！说真的，所有人都以为祂是头笨重的古兽，就像克里珀是个超大的石头人一样，没想到祂的躯体竟有多变的形态。我怀疑诞育祂的黑暗海潮下还覆着一层人类未知的领域，噢，祂的腹内也是——据说没有物种能抵御奥博洛斯身躯上灯笼般的「诱饵」，无数星系都已在祂的肚子里，只有那些消亡的「记忆」被保留下来，真是多亏了浮黎……
...Fuli, THEY are really hard to fathom. I doubt that the birth of the Remembrance is related to that widespread and vast fall of the stars. That final wailing and screams of countless lives before their demise shook me to the core. Alas, it was all the doing of Oroboros the Voracity! To be honest, everyone thought THEY were just a clumsy Leviathan, like how Qlipoth was thought to be an oversized statue. Who would have guessed that THEIR body has multiple forms? I suspect that there is a dimension unknown to humanity under the dark tides that gave birth to THEM. Oh, and THEIR abdomen, too — it is said that no species can resist the lantern-like "bait" on Oroboros's body, and that countless galaxies are already in THEIR stomach, with only the "memories" of those that perished being left behind thanks to Fuli...
阿哈 Aha
关联条目 - 「欢愉」 Related Entry — The Elation
……「欢愉」，真的吗？当我想起阿哈的时候，可不觉得欢愉，只感到「混沌」。没有哪个星神像阿哈一样令人头痛，祂毫无自觉，不可捉摸，随心所欲，把宇宙和一众凡人玩弄于股掌。在可怜的老以利亚萨拉斯的记载中，有一次，阿哈把一只诺布莱斯虫变成了自己的令使，给了它无比强大的智能，只为试试能不能把诺布莱斯虫送进天才俱乐部——答案是不能。为了这桩毫无意义的实验，「欢愉」把命途的全部力量拱手交给一只大脑都没有发育完全的虫子，然后撒手而去，失去星神眷顾的虫子在瞬间就死了，死状颇为凄惨。我不知道以利亚萨拉斯为什么会记录得这么详细，也许是他被那一幕震惊了吧……
...The Elation, seriously? I don't feel elated when I think about Aha. All I feel is chaos. No other Aeon is as much of a headache as Aha. Aha has no sense of self-consciousness, is utterly unpredictable, does everything on a whim, and plays mortals and the universe like a fiddle. According to poor old Elias Salas' records, Aha once turned a Noblesse Worm into THEIR Emanator and granted the worm fathomless intelligence, just to see if Noblesse Worms could enter the Genius Society — The answer was no. For this pointless experiment, the Elation gave the entirety of THEIR Path's power to a worm that doesn't even have a fully developed brain, and then just discarded the creature once it had outlived its purpose. Without the Aeon's blessing, the worm died instantly and tragically. I don't know why Elias Salas recorded this in such great detail. Maybe he was shocked by this...?

……如果祂仅仅热爱玩弄世人也就罢了，阿哈这个怪物最可怕的一点是：只要有乐子，祂连星神都不放过。结交星穹列车之后，我从他们的智库里弄到了一大批极有价值的资料，里面有克里珀、末王、太一、希佩等多个星神的近距离接触情报，然后，不出所料的，阿哈也在里面掺了一脚，但方式远远超过我的想象——这家伙想捉弄阿基维利和祂的无名客，因此变成一个凡人，在阿基维利的列车上足足潜伏了一年多，最后终于逮到机会，把半辆列车和一颗星球炸成了粉末。如果我是阿基维利，恐怕连弄死祂的心都有了，可惜我不是，我永远也不能理解星神在想什么……
...It'd be one thing if THEY only reveled in toying with mortals. The worst thing about this monster named Aha is that THEY won't even spare other Aeons as long as there's fun to be had. I obtained a large amount of valuable info from the Astral Express' data bank after I got to know the Express crew, including intel on close encounters between many Aeons such as Qlipoth, Terminus, Ena, and Xipe. Unsurprisingly, Aha was also involved in these interactions between Aeons, but in a way that far exceeded my imagination — Aha wanted to trick Akivili and the Nameless, so Aha shapeshifted into a human and laid low on Akivili's Express for more than a year, then finally got the opportunity and blew up half the Express and an entire planet. If I were Akivili, I'd have wanted to kill Aha. Pity I'm not an Aeon, and I can never figure out what THEY were thinking...

……阿哈，不会吧？祂真的十分急于看见宇宙着火：这家伙必然会再往上浇一把油。自「欢愉」的笑声响彻寰宇后，事态就急转直下，怎会有三位星神在同一纪中介入对「繁育」的讨伐？想想就令人毛骨悚然。没人知道阿哈做了什么，毕竟假面愚者的夸赞不可信——智库中记载了那艘贡多拉的故事，但想想也知，凡人怎么可能影响神明？说真的，眼下最重要的是，我和螺丝咕姆已经开始头痛了——怎样才能阻止模拟阿哈反过来影响模拟宇宙？
...Aha, no way! THEY are really eager to watch the universe burn — this one is bound to pour more fuel on the fire. Things have taken a turn for the worse since the laughter of the Elation resounded in the universe. How can three Aeons participate in a crusade against the Propagation in the same Amber Era? It's terrifying even to think about. No one knew what Aha had done. After all, the Masked Fools' praises are not to be trusted. The story of that gondola was recorded in the data bank. But come to think of it, how could a mortal possibly influence a god? Seriously, right now, the most important thing is that Screwllum and I are already getting a headache — how can we stop the simulated Aha from reversely affecting the Simulated Universe?
岚 Lan
关联条目 - 「巡猎」 Related Entry — The Hunt
……岚倒是经常在凡人眼前露面，但祂的速度太快，本体的观察样本少而又少。比较可靠的资料都藏在仙舟联盟，弄到它花了我不少功夫。作为宇宙中极为稀少的，拥有星神完全赐福的派系；联盟是少数能和公司平等交流的存在，所以指望公司这条线根本没戏，最后还得靠阮•梅出面。在仙舟古语中，「岚」的意思是「不可捉摸的雾」，祂在仙舟的正式称呼是「帝弓司命」，按照仙舟人的解释，正是在文明行将陨落的岁月里，「巡猎」的光矢为他们指明了方向……
...Lan, on the other hand, often appears before mortals. However, THEY move too fast, and very few observations have been made about THEIR actual form. Most of the reliable information is kept by the Xianzhou Alliance and it took me a great amount of effort to get. As one of the rare factions in the universe that is completely blessed by an Aeon, the Alliance stands on equal grounds with the IPC, which meant the IPC couldn't help me at all. In the end, Ruan Mei had to step up to help. In the ancient Xianzhou language, "Lan" means "an unpredictable fog," and the Aeon's formal name in Xianzhou is Reignbow Arbiter. According to Xianzhou natives, the Lux Arrow of The Hunt showed them the way as their civilization was about to fall...

……该如何形容「巡猎」的星神呢？用一则琥珀2131纪，天戈星观测站的报告来建立直观印象好了：天文观测系统捕捉到一则引力波信号，那是由某个无法测速的事物划过天文尺度的距离后留下的空间漾动。接着，一道光劈开穹窿，留下虹彩般异样的轨迹。半个系统时后，天戈星由内而外星体溃塌。坏消息是，公司损失了商业体中的一颗星球；好消息是，在此之前，他们正拿天戈星蔓延的蜕鳞症（毫无疑问，药师的手笔）一筹莫展。那道光一劳永逸地「治愈」了这颗星球，还有星球上的患者——一群半人半蛇的不死怪物。这就是「巡猎」的行止和信条——拯救与破坏几无差别。就像祂那永恒的对手「丰饶」一样——治愈和折磨相依相存……
...How would you describe the Aeon of The Hunt? We can get an impression from the Xuange Observation Station's report in AE 2131. The astronomical observation system detected a gravitational wave, a spatial disturbance left by an entity traveling too fast to be measured and covering astronomical distances. Shortly thereafter, a flash of light cleaved apart the sky, leaving behind abnormal rainbow-colored traces. Half a unit of system time later, the entirety of the planet Xuange imploded. The bad news was the IPC lost a planet in its business sphere. The good news was the IPC was out of ideas regarding the molting disease (undoubtedly the work of Yaoshi) spreading throughout Xuange. The light permanently "healed" that planet and the patients on it, a race of immortal half-human half-snake monsters. This is the action and creed of The Hunt, for whom salvation and destruction are nigh indistinguishable. Their perpetual enemy, the Abundance, is the same, for THEY bring healing and torment hand-in-hand...
纳努克 Nanook
关联条目 - 「毁灭」 Related Entry — The Destruction
……「毁灭」纳努克为何诞生，老实说，我还不明白。在祂出现之前，「终末」的末王就已经在宇宙中游弋了，难道「毁灭」不包含在「终末」之中吗？关于命途的奥秘，我们实在所知甚少。从希佩和太一的例子中，可知概念近似的命途会发生碰撞，就像「同谐」囊括了「秩序」，于是希佩飞升之时便吸收了太一——颇有种弱肉强食的感觉。然而，也有「存护」与「记忆」、「丰饶」与「繁育」这种奇怪的，或长或短的共存状态。我猜想，或许凡人对命途的总结终归是眼界落了下乘，命途真正的意义，用简单的一个词并不能完全概括；又或者，命途和星神还隐藏着更深的秘密……
...Frankly, I still don't understand why Nanook the Destruction was born. Terminus the Finality was already traversing the universe before Nanook appeared. Is Destruction not included in Finality? We know so little about the secrets of the Paths. From the example of Xipe and Ena, we know that Paths with similar concepts can collide with each other, such as Order being included in Harmony resulting in Xipe absorbing Ena when the former ascended. It feels rather like survival of the fittest. However, there are examples of similar Paths co-existing for different lengths of time, such as Preservation with Remembrance and Abundance with Propagation. I guess perhaps our mortal conclusions about the Paths are still not at a high enough level. The true meaning of a Path cannot be completely expressed with just one word, or perhaps there are even deeper secrets regarding the Paths and the Aeons...

……纳努克来自一个叫作亚德丽芬的星系，现在，那里已经被「毁灭」了。星神的诞生往往伴随着某种震动寰宇的异象，估计纳努克的方式就是点燃了自己的家乡吧。我从星穹列车那里弄到过亚德丽芬曾经的资料，一个悲惨的世界，被「帝皇战争」搞得满目疮痍，又不幸处于「虫群」的行军路线上，直到阿基维利到来之时，亚德丽芬还在和虫皇遗留的子嗣进行黑云蔽日的战争。这样的星球，还能造就什么样的星神？所以它的命运也不难想见了……
...Nanook came from a star system called Adlivun, which has now been "destroyed." The birth of an Aeon was often accompanied by an anomaly that shook the universe, and Nanook had probably ignited their own home. I got some information from the Astral Express on how Adlivun used to be. It was a tragic world completely marred by the Emperor's War, and was unfortunate enough to be on the path of the Swarm's march. When Akivili arrived there, Adlivun was still fighting a tense and endless war with the remaining descendants of the Imperator Insectorum. What kind of an Aeon would such a planet create? It is therefore not hard to imagine its eventual fate...

...Out of the dozen-or-so Aeons we already know, Terminus and Aha are odd, and Mythus and Fuli are mysterious. I am very interested in THEM. However, while IX the Nihility is both odd and mysterious, I just can't bring myself to be interested. Maybe it's because IX is too easy to read...

……想起一则关于「虚无」的轶事：曾经有人想要刺杀Ⅸ。那是一伙「泯灭帮」，没有胆量加入军团，却也想跟着纳努克为非作歹的废物。他们某天突发奇想，打算实现以人类之身干掉星神的零的突破，正好Ⅸ与世无争，认为宇宙、命途、生命毫无意义，泯灭帮就觉得：或许这位星神很好对付呢。据说他们真的在某位星神的帮助下踏上了行刺Ⅸ的旅途，当然，后面再也没有人知道这群人的下落。这个故事也确实毫无意义，除了一点：赞助泯灭帮的星神是「欢愉」阿哈，祂觉得这帮人的想法很有意思，于是出力送了他们一程。凡是跟阿哈有关的故事，说真的，我都欢愉不起来……
...I recall a story about the Nihility — Some people had once tried to assassinate IX. Those were the Annihilation Gang, trash who were too scared to join the Legion but still wanted to wreak havoc with Nanook. They had a mad idea about wanting to be the first humans to kill an Aeon. They thought IX might be easy to handle because the Aeon is peaceful and thinks there is no purpose to the universe, Paths, and life. Apparently, with the assistance of another Aeon, they really did launch their plan to assassinate IX. As expected, nobody heard from this gang ever again. This story is pretty much pointless except for this: The Aeon that helped the Annihilation Gang was Aha the Elation. Aha thought these people had a fun idea, so THEY lent these humans THEIR power for a while. Seriously, I can't get elated from any stories related to Aha...
药师 Yaoshi
关联条目 - 「丰饶」 Related Entry — The Abundance
……学会关于药师是善神还是恶神的争论很多，在我看来完全是吃饱了撑的。拿我们狭隘的善恶观去套星神这种还没弄明白的存在，稍微对宇宙有点儿敬畏的人都干不出这事。个人而言，我对药师的态度非常开放：尽管我会帮助仙舟联盟处理丰饶孽物，却也不妨碍我发自真心地崇敬药师：这孤独而浪漫的存在。祂漫行在宇宙间，身后有「巡猎」与联盟不断追逐，发誓要把祂彻底消灭……尽管如此，祂仍然孜孜不倦地点化一个又一个世界。据我所知，「丰饶」从来没有夺走过哪怕一条性命，虽然多数时候，与祂接触过的生命会陷入生不如死的窘境……
...There is a lot of debate in the Guild about whether Yaoshi is good or evil, and I think that's just people having too much time on their hands. Anyone with the slightest respect for the universe wouldn't apply our narrow definitions of good and evil to incomprehensible existences such as Aeons. Personally, I have an open mind when it comes to Yaoshi — I will help the Xianzhou Alliance to sort out the Abominations of Abundance, but it won't stop me from genuinely admiring Yaoshi as a lonely and romantic existence. THEY travel between the universes with The Hunt and the Alliance in hot pursuit, both of which have sworn to destroy THEM... And yet THEY continue to bring enlightenment to world after world. I understand that the Abundance had never taken a single life, even though those THEY come into contact with often end up with a fate worse than death...
关联条目 - 「丰饶」 Related Entry — The Abundance
……「丰饶」药师对于自己的所作所为及后果究竟有没有认知？对此，宇宙中存在两极分化的观点：一者认为药师知道，而且很清楚后果，只是祂不在乎；另一者则认为星神被其「命途」牢牢束缚，无法接受其命途以外的信息。在写作拙作《我如何加入天才俱乐部》的丰饶章节时，我也曾认真思考过这个问题，最终得出结论：我不知道。啊——关于星神，我们的认知实在是太过有限，太过狭隘了！若非如此，我也不会对「模拟宇宙」寄予这般厚望！据说，药师曾经对丰饶之民和追猎祂的仙舟开口说话，希望模拟版本的祂也愿意对开拓者说上几句……
...Does Yaoshi the Abundance actually understand THEIR actions and consequences? People across the universe hold polarized views on this. One party thinks Yaoshi does know of the consequences but does not care. Another party believes Yaoshi is tightly constrained by THEIR Path and cannot receive information outside of the Path. I gave some serious thought to this question when I wrote the chapter on Abundance in my book How I Joined the Genius Society, and my final conclusion was "I don't know." Ahhh — We know so little about Aeons! I wouldn't have placed so much hope on the Simulated Universe otherwise! Apparently, Yaoshi had spoken to the Denizens of Abundance and THEIR pursuer Xianzhou, and I hope the simulated Yaoshi would be willing to speak a few words to Trailblazer as well...
塔伊兹育罗斯 Tayzzyronth
关联条目 - 「繁育」 Related Entry — The Propagation
……「繁育」塔伊兹育罗斯！我不知道阮•梅为什么对祂这么感兴趣，也许是因为祂搞出的寰宇蝗灾动静太大。可这家伙又胆小，又愚钝，身为星神什么见识都没有：祂的头脑里除了繁殖外空空荡荡，就连祂的子嗣亦是如此。在塔伊兹育罗斯尚未陨落的年代，也曾有人试图培育虫群，让它们产生「繁育」以外的思维，但看起来失败得很彻底：那些虫子连给自己穿只鞋都做不到。但必须承认，祂在「繁育」这条路上走到了极致，光是发个抖就能让全宇宙的虫子开始疯狂的，没有尽头的自我复制——至于吗？祂陨落至今，宇宙中仍有数之不尽的虫群四处为害，它们实在令人生厌……
...Tayzzyronth the Propagation! I don't know why Ruan Mei is so interested in THEM. Perhaps because THEY made such a ruckus with the Swarm Disaster THEY created. However, that creature is timid, slow-witted, and has no insight as an Aeon — THEIR mind is void of anything except reproduction, and even THEIR descendants are the same. In the days before the fall of Tayzzyronth, some had also attempted to breed the Swarm and make it think beyond mere propagation, but it seemed to have been a complete failure. They couldn't even put a shoe on themselves. Though, you have to hand it to Tayzzyronth. THEY went so far down the road of Propagation that just a little shiver could make the Swarm throughout the entire universe start a frantic, endless self-replication — seriously, why the overreaction? Since THEIR fall, there are still an endless number of the Swarm rampaging throughout the universe, and they are really annoying...

……凭「繁育」的智商，祂大抵没机会知道自己有多悲惨——祂在诞生的数纪后便匆匆陨落，除了漫天的虫群外没给宇宙留下任何东西。证据确凿的是：蠹星那场声势汹涌的屠杀，背后一定另有隐情。但恐怕背后的运作者也未曾预料塔伊兹育罗斯会在「偶然」中飞升成神——又或者他压根不在乎。除了星神，还有谁能扮演这个角色？另外，我还有一个发现：塔伊兹育罗斯在生理上，似乎并不接近虫类物种中定义的任何性别。这个发现有任何意义吗？似乎没有，我只将其记录下而已……
...With the Propagation's intelligence, THEY probably didn't have a chance to realize how pitiful THEY were. Tayzzyronth fell quickly, just several Amber Eras after THEIR birth, leaving nothing behind in the universe except a Swarm as far as the eye can see. The only thing confirmed by the evidence is that there must have been something behind that cataclysmic massacre on Lepismat, but I'm afraid that even the one behind the act never anticipated for Tayzzyronth to ascend to godhood by "chance." Or maybe the mastermind just didn't care. Now, what else but an Aeon could have played such a conniving role? Also, I made another discovery: It seems that, biologically, Tayzzyronth cannot be clearly classified into any of the genders present in sexually reproducing insect species. Does this discovery have any significance? It doesn't seem to. I'm just documenting it...

……博识尊，各位天才最熟悉的机器头。每个人加入俱乐部前都见过祂一面——甚至有向其发问的权利：至于笔者提了什么问题，不要追究了。博识尊将数据的推演走到了尽头，直至今天，祂依旧在观察、计算、求解。祂应该已经掌握了全宇宙的信息，却还觉得这远远不够。在「智识」的命途上，祂的地位无可撼动…我猜测，只要「信息」和「经验」足够，博识尊可以轻而易举地推演出事物的每一种走向，和其中的每一个瞬间。这样连「体验」也不再有必要的生活…噢，多少有些无趣了。相比之下，我反而有些喜欢模拟宇宙的瓶颈和局限了，至少我们还仍能不断探索、突破——未来的路还很长，对吧？
...Nous, every genius' most familiar Droidhead. Before joining the society, we all met THEM — even had the chance to pose a question. However, don't bother figuring the question posed by the author. Nous has pushed the boundaries of data extrapolation to the utmost limits. Even today, it is still observing, calculating, and pursuing solutions. Despite likely possessing information of the entire universe, Nous remains unsatisfied. Nous maintains an unassailable position on the Path of Erudition... I venture to guess that, as long as there is enough "information" and "experience," Nous can effortlessly deduce every possible trajectory of all things and every moment within. A life where one doesn't even need to "experience" anything... Mmm, somewhat monotonous. Hence, I find the limitations and challenges of the Simulated Universe rather more intriguing, as They provide room for our continuous exploration and creating breakthroughs. A lengthy journey lies ahead, doesn't it?

我不知该如何形容自己确认这一点时的震撼：我们的每一步都在模拟博识尊的计算中，仿佛祂才是模拟宇宙的缔造者，而我们是数据。我开始理解迷思和机器头的纠葛了，如果一切未知都被解明，「神秘」将何去何从？现在想来，斯蒂芬•劳艾德一直不希望自己被博识尊选入天才俱乐部，也许这件事从一开始就在祂的演算中——斯蒂芬，你没得选。
I don't know how I can describe the kind of shock I had when I confirmed this discovery: Every step we took were within the simulated Nous' calculations as if THEY were the architect of the Simulated Universe, and we are data instead. I'm beginning to understand the entangled conflict between Mythus and Droidhead. If all the unknowns are to be exposed, where does that leave Enigmata? In hindsight, Stephen Lloyd always wished he was not selected by Nous to join the Genius Society, but this may have been another calculated move by the Aeon — Stephen had no choice.

……「同谐」的希佩，噢，集群星之母！祂宣扬和谐一致的喜乐，将所有意志归于一尊。家族的颂歌传播于世间各个角落，祂对万物意志理解、支持与配合的拿捏程度难以想象，或许在此之上祂已走向凡人难以想象的维度。无限扩张的「同谐」着实令人憧憬，宇宙如液体碎钻环绕、装饰祂的身躯，文明在祂手中变成一抹捏住的彩虹。我十分好奇祂如何吞并「秩序」——希佩的颂歌总纵向传播扩张，时而以意识态支配；太一的和音则以立体音程排开，如同帝皇掌控万生等级秩序；二者在命途上确有一定重合，但古老的「秩序」体量庞大，绝不可小觑，吞并祂怎会是易事？…星神间令我难以推测的事太多了。
...Xipe the Harmony. Oh, the mother of all stars! THEY proclaimed harmonious hymns of celebration, and united all wills as one. The Family's songs spread to all corners of the world, and THEIR degree of understanding, support, and synergy for the will of all creatures was beyond imagination. Or perhaps, THEY were already on a plane beyond mortal minds. The ever-expanding Harmony was truly worthy of human longing. The universe encircles and decorates THEIR body like crushed diamonds, and civilization became a rainbow to be snatched in THEIR palm. I am filled with curiosity about how THEY swallowed up Order. The hymns of Xipe continue to spread and grow, occasionally overseen by ideology. In contrast, Ena's harmonic songs seems to align within a three-dimensional framework, akin to an emperor maintaining hierarchical order among all creatures. While there may be some overlap between THEIR Paths, the ancient Order is enormous in size, and swallowing THEM would prove far from effortless... Among the Aeons, there exist countless enigmas that surpass my own speculations.
太一 Ena
关联条目 - 「秩序」 Related Entry — The Order
……「秩序」的太一，我挺喜欢祂。不是说性格——我和极具掌控欲的家伙合不来，但在祂的「概念」下，我能想象出一个古时别有风味的宇宙。祂统治下的星球，对规则的捍卫十分古板，但必须承认：在太一的庇护下，银河灾祸皆被牵制，因而星球的文明建设空前高效。但有趣的是，也因「秩序」，文明发展到一定程度反而会触底：那些极度崇尚「秩序」的古星都闪耀过，接着又全盘覆灭了…这或许是星球的「命途」也说不定。「秩序」的太一仍守护众生的时期着实闪耀，祂神迹拂过之处，总有天外合唱班的歌声渺渺，那些音符呈现立体的纵向排列——而其组成的圣歌，即是祂自己的声音。
...Ena the Order. I quite like THEM — I don't mean THEIR personality, since I can't get along with control freaks — but I can envision an ancient and romantic universe fashioned under THEIR unique "concept." The planets governed by Ena adhere staunchly to established rules, yet I must acknowledge that the various calamities in the cosmos were all hindered by Ena's guardianship, leading to extremely efficient development of civilization among diverse planets. Interestingly, however, civilizations all eventually hit rock bottom because of Order. The ancient planets that once fervently worshiped Order would shine briefly before their total collapse... Perhaps this is the "Path" of these planets. During the era when Ena the Order protected the cosmos, unequivocal splendor pervaded. Wherever THEIR divine traces appeared, it was always accompanied by the ethereal melodies of the Beyond the Sky Choir. These harmonious notes, meticulously arranged within a three-dimensional framework, form a holy hymn of Ena's own voice.
奥博洛斯 Oroboros

……「贪饕」的奥博洛斯！祂性格沉闷、少言寡语，时常在张开嘴将话语传递出前，先把对方不小心吃了进去…对话也就不再有必要了。若是路易斯•弗莱明遇上「贪饕」的奥博洛斯，说不定会接近祂来吸揽宇宙中所有财富与黄金！幸好奥博洛斯已失踪无影，估计有不少家伙想找到祂的踪迹——我也不例外，可我压根不屑追踪，也许这事适合交给阮•梅和螺丝咕姆。比起这个，我更好奇奥博洛斯与其他「黄昏古兽」之间的关系，作为已知的唯一由「黄昏古兽」飞升而成星神的家伙，祂没准仍对碎星芳饵有所反应……
...Oroboros the Voracity! THEY are reserved and uncommunicative, occasionally resulting in unintended consequences when attempting to speak — such as inadvertently consuming THEIR interlocutors. This often renders further discourse unnecessary. Had Louis Fleming encountered Oroboros the Voracity, he might have approached the Aeon with the intent to attract all wealth throughout the universe! Fortunately, Oroboros has vanished without a trace. Undoubtedly, many individuals are likely in search of THEIR whereabouts, and I am no exception. However, I choose not to indulge in tracking THEM down personally and instead will leave that task to Ruan Mei and Screwllum. What piques my curiosity more is the relationship between Oroboros and the other Dusk Leviathans. As Oroboros stands alone as the sole known Aeon to have ascended from a Dusk Leviathan, it is conceivable that THEY may still have a reaction to the Shattered Star Bait...
互 HooH
关联条目 - 「均衡」 Related Entry — The Equilibrium
……「均衡」的互，祂是已知最古老的星神之一。我不确定祂为何将自己一分为二：祂切割概念，将万物分成能互相转化的二元，从而将宇宙中全部的*正*与*反*揉成均衡的一体：祂总是那样对称、平等。若要将那些最崇高的家伙论资排辈，唯有「贪饕」和「不朽」能与「均衡」的古老相抗衡…哦，还有「秩序」——太一消失后，「均衡」的责任就更加沉重了。所以，祂会怎么看待纳努克？
...HooH the Equilibrium. THEY are one of the oldest Aeons. The reason behind THEIR division into two halves remains beyond my comprehension. THEY separate concepts, splitting all beings into an interchangeable duality, thus fusing all "positives" and "negatives" in the universe into an equilibrial whole. THEY are always so symmetrical and so equal. If we were to rank those most sublime beings, only the Voracity and the Permanence can stand toe-to-toe with the Equilibrium's antiquity... Oh, and also the Order. After Ena disappeared, the Equilibrium's duties have only grown greater. Then, how would HooH perceive Nanook?
迷思 Mythus
关联条目 - 「神秘」 Related Entry — The Enigmata
……迷思，毫无疑问，星神中最神秘的存在！这家伙和模拟阿哈一样，对模拟宇宙的破坏力极大。在少数被证实的记录中，祂的形象犹如身形碎裂的*水母*：就像是被肆意破坏的…人类大脑中掌管「认知」的区域。迷思的出现总是伴随着思想之雾和感官之雨，具象之物像颜料般在祂的阴影中融化，历史、知识、语言也被暴雨淋湿、冲刷、扭曲——为了对抗「智识」的确定性，祂不计一切代价——这真的值得吗？抹掉过去，篡改现在，为了一个…不确定的未来？我想，也许只有从「记忆」——「神秘」的诞生之地——入手才能得到更多祂的踪迹。又或者，我可以试试「终末」……
...Mythus, undoubtedly the most mysterious among all the Aeons! This one is as destructive to the Simulated Universe as the simulated Aha. In the rare handful of authenticated accounts, Mythus' form is described as a broken and torn "jellyfish," akin to a deliberately destroyed version of... the "cognitive" center of the human brain. THEIR appearance is always accompanied by a fog of thoughts and rain of sensation. Symbolic objects dissolve like paint within THEIR shadow. History, knowledge, and language are soaked, drenched, and distorted in the deluge — Mythus wants to challenge the certainty of the Erudition regardless of the consequences — Is it truly worth it? To erase the past and distort the present all for the pursuit of an... uncertain future? Perhaps I can only hope to uncover more information about Mythus by digging into Remembrance, the birthplace of Enigmata. Alternatively, I can try Finality...
