Legend has it that the origin of the Endless Universe was a 'point', and later this 'point' expanded and became endless, so it was called the Endless Universe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this is just a legend, because the Endless Universe is more than just a 'point', so what is inflated is only a part of the Endless Universe.

Infinite expansion is not a good thing, because this expansion cannot be reversed at all, so when it expands to the extreme, it means dissipation.

At this time, a gate appeared, which was used for the 'return' of all things, which effectively reduced the expansion.

After countless bursts and rebirths, the Endless Universe finally stopped expanding and became unbreakable. In ruin, everything dies with it, with the exception of one thing, and that is the gate.

Although the gate did not change, an egg formed in front of the door and hatched a puppy with three heads.

Puppies are born with a name, a strange name called Cerberus, which translates to Guardian of the Return. So the puppy has been guarding the gate and watching the rise and fall of the endless universe.

When the Endless Universe becomes unbreakable, there is no point in 'returning', so the gate becomes the gate of the underworld.

At this time, the puppy has grown into a behemoth, it is still called Cerberus, but it has changed from the guardian of return to the guardian of death.

But it doesn't care about that, because it knows that its duty is to guard the gate, whatever it's called.

The endless universe is born or destroyed, or rises or falls, no matter how it changes, it cannot affect the gate, and the big dog in front of the door. Because they are the embodiment of time, they are eternal.

Maybe they will die too, but that will be until the Endless Universe dissipates, so the big dog doesn't care about life and death.

Since the Endless Universe stopped expanding, the gates have become useless because no matter will enter them anymore.

This makes the big dog's life very monotonous and boring, because he has no job and no longer has to clean up the countless debris of the universe, so he always lazily lies in front of the door.

Until one day, the gate welcomed a new visitor.

It was a guy who claimed to be a 'creature', but the big dog knew that he was a soul, because this was something that needed to be recovered after the gate became the gate of the underworld.

The self-proclaimed 'creature' pleaded with him that he did not want to die and was willing to offer treasures and beautiful women.

This makes the big dog feel very ridiculous, as long as time lasts, everything will end. Except, of course, because you are time.

However, the big dog did not throw the 'creature' into the gate, because he was curious about what the treasure and beauty were, so he raised his own doubts.

However, the answer of the 'creature' brought more questions to the big dog. Then in this question and answer, three days were spent.

'Heaven' is the concept of time for 'creatures', and although it is useless to the big dog, it still remembers this quantifier.

It's just that the 'creature' is so weak that before he can get all the answers, he can't resist the gravitational pull of the gate and is sucked into the gate.

This gave the big dog its first emotions, a strange thing called loss.

The loss didn't last long, though, as another visitor appeared. This is also a soul, though also a living being, but calling itself a 'mage'.

The 'mage' is very knowledgeable, answers a lot of questions, and teaches the big dog to think, so that it can find the answers on its own.

Although the 'mage' was stronger than the 'creature', he only lasted under the gate for five days.

The departure of the 'mage' gave the big dog a second emotion - reluctance. Because in the short five days, it developed a friendship with the 'mage'.

The appearance of 'mages' and 'creatures' seems to represent the dawn of a new era, and from then on, new souls will arrive every day.

The big dog seems to have forgotten his duty, and instead of throwing the soul through the gate, he asks all sorts of inexplicable questions for the soul to answer until they can't resist the attraction of the gate.

Millions of years have passed in this way, during which time the big dog has asked countless questions and gained countless knowledge.

But as time goes by, the big dog's questions get deeper and deeper, and there are fewer and fewer souls that can answer.

At the same time, the soul became more and more powerful, and even some souls who did not know whether they were alive or dead began to bark with the big dog.

After a patient drain, the big dog threw the soul that could not answer the question into the gate of the underworld. And recently, there have been tens of thousands of years without a soul to answer a question.

Then, the big dog has a third emotion - confusion, because it begins to think about the survival of the living creature and the meaning of its own existence.

The meaning of the existence of the big dog is very simple, it is to guard the gate. But the big dog doesn't think so, it thinks that guarding the gate is the 'meaning' given to it by others, not its own real 'meaning'.

But the big dog thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of its 'meaning', so it was confused.

The big dog also asked the question of the soul, but the answers he got were varied, and none of them were what he needed.

Some souls say that the meaning of survival is to reproduce and mate, and to continue the bloodline. But the big dog lasts forever, there is no need to continue the bloodline at all, and there is no object to mate.

Some souls say that the meaning of survival is to become stronger, and when you become stronger, you can have everything. The big dog scoffed at it, because it was strong enough, so strong that it didn't need to have anything.

Some souls say that the meaning of existence is to explore the secrets of the endless universe. The big dog is noncommittal about this, because there are no secrets in the endless universe at all, only the cycle of destruction and rebirth.

The big dog spent a long time thinking about the meaning of existence, but he didn't get any answers. Because time doesn't need to survive, it doesn't make sense.

Since there is no point, then the big dog is not communicating with the soul, but just sticking to the responsibility.

Time passes, things are not people.

After the endless universe became unbreakable, it became gorgeous and colorful, and even in front of the gate of the underworld, a small river appeared.

The name of the creek is drowning, and like the big dog, it was born from the gate. It's just that their duties are not the same, the big dog is for guarding, and drowning is for grooming.

This is because there are more and more creatures in the endless universe, which leads to a surge in souls that can break the shackles of the plane, so drowning appears.

The soul is a product of spirit and energy, energy is well understood, it is one of the four cornerstones of the universe, but spirit is an inexplicable thing.

Even the big dog couldn't figure out what the spirit was, but remembered that after the soul appeared, the spirit naturally merged into the endless universe.

The meaning of drowning is to sort out the spirit. So when the drowning appears, the big dog becomes idle again, because all the souls will be dissolved by the drowning, and finally turn into the purest spirit and energy to flow through the gate.
