The Journey Home: God Says There's No Need to Hurry

Female-oriented fantasy set in an alternate world, featuring travel, schemes, and the occasional infinite-flow game.

Setting One: Everything that exists has a reason

Everything exists for a reason.

Every event happens because it is supposed to.

Time does not exist as a single line, but as a series of loops.

All fates are fixed, stories already written.

Only the “blank pages” missing cause and effect can twist fate.

Setting Two: Matter is fixed; energy is conserved.

There are thirteen pathways in all, comprising twenty-six paths of destiny.

Each path of destiny has a law that opposes it.

The supreme existence beyond the pathways is the Ultimate.

The Ultimate is a concept widely known to the public.

And every concept contains a flawed paradox.

According to the law of conservation of energy, all pilgrims following the original paths of destiny

must overcome the paradoxes and errors of their own paths before they can ascend.

For example, every god is born at the wrong time. If you want to ascend,

you must correct the faulty cause and effect, kill the version of yourself that is right, and devour it to take its place. Energy cannot be stacked.

Setting Three: The human body is structured like the universe, and every contradiction is a cancer cell.

The birth of aberrant species is like the emergence of cancer cells in humans.

They cannot be controlled, but the amount of available resources can limit their reproduction.

As aberrant species evolve toward the universe, they become more like humans as they mutate,

yet their independent thoughts remain entirely their own.
