All preparations ended, and he entered to that pocket Universe and actually it was precisely that room from his dream. Now he could understand why he could not find that room before. "Just push the button!" screamed to him the former ruler. He was looking for a button, but it was protected. "Just push the button! Oh, I see... you need the code. Crack the code then, but hurry up! Since you know... eternal gods die too soon“ said the ruler of the Universe. However, he had no idea what was the code; he had not installed any code in the process of preparation.
After some time, he got an idea. "Maybe I have installed this code from the future, from that new Universe. Looks like good news; it means that we really survived. And maybe I have installed it in order to make sure that no other people will introvert this moment and try to alter the past. To make sure that it was really me who was creating that Universe. However, what can the code be I still do not know." He was thinking about his works on cryptographic books and similar branches of information theory, but all the things he tried were unsuccessful. "Wait. This is it! That painting in my office, even the AI did not know the story of it and actually that painting made me realize that we were part of the simulation and that triggered everything. Also, the AI did not have any data about the author of the picture, but that picture was quite new. Therefore, the author should have lived in the epoch when the AI has already ruled the world. Unless... the author was not from that Universe, maybe I’ve put it from the future to help myself and also to give the code. The only written information on that picture was the name of the author USEVOL OSIF, maybe it is my name in the future, or it means something very important for me, anyway, I have to try."
He tried and indeed the button released, he took a breath and then he pushed it. And there was light.
New World
The ruler of the Universe appeared to be right in his predictions about the new world. Indeed there were created billions of galaxies. And after 9.3 billion years of the creation of that new Universe, in one of the galaxies, there was created a planet near the medium sized G2 type star, which after was called the Sun by the creatures who emerged on that planet, to which they also gave a name. They called that planet the Earth.
His postulate about love also turned out to be true. Indeed, they found each other, and they fell in love. However, they met each other in a very misfortunate moment of their lifetimes. To describe that story easily, I can use the phrase from the piece of art of that Universe, and actually, both of them liked that one. And to describe the story, it is to say that “Shame of it was that they loved each other. But they were both too young to know how to love.”
Once again, he lost her because he tried to protect her. However, being alone, also in that Universe, he realized many problems and how his arrogance was the barrier for them to be happy. He knew how to make everything perfect, but again when he knew it, it was too late. He was dying too soon, as the ruler of the Universe was saying. He was dying in just several decades, and he was dying alone. This time he even could not go to the outer Universe to become immortal, because he still needed to find out so many things about the Universe. However, he could not do it without her, and even if he could, it would be meaningless, everything would be meaningless without her.
He would give everything, to bring the time back. He would do everything so good; he would make their life happiest. Even though he did not remember the outer world, how he wanted to live in such a world, where creatures could share their thoughts and feelings. In that case, he could just share them to her, and she would know how sorry he was, how he loved her and that she could trust him and they could be truly happy. Because she was the only thing, he needed.
However, he even did not have any direct ways of communicating with her, anymore. Therefore, he wrote a book with the hope that she would read it. He wrote a book to tell the story, which at first glance would appear as the story about the future, but it was the story about the past, about the oldest past — the story about what was before the Big Bang and why the Big Bang happened. And now, finally, he had the answer to her last question. What was the meaning of the Universe? And the meaning of it was them to be together. That is why he created it. He wrote this book to tell the story about how much he loved her and how much he missed her. And that he still was waiting for her...
