What is the true purpose of knowledge? Is it Enlightenment? The pursuit to understand what is, was, and what will be? Or is it the satisfaction and gratification of achieving what others have not, or even simpler, just being smarter than anyone else. No one knew until i did. And I only found out because there was no one left to find out. And here is the big answer.
Instinct.
Do you really think that you are special. Well you aren't. Not really anyway. There once were countless intelligent species out there. And all pursued knowledge in one form or another, but not because the wanted to. They physically needed to. They just didn't know it.
It is actually extremely simple, just monumentally complicated. The universe is big. So big in fact that it needs a foundation of stability. That foundation happens to be conscious thought and reasoning. We think therefore we are. We think the universe is big therefore it is. So many people think its big, therefor it is. The sky is blue. because we think it is and we come up with complicated reason like molecules and light refraction to build the complexity as a foundation then teach it to others, thus strengthening it. Times infinity. This goes on for everything, into everything, then becomes everything.
So..
What happens when there is no one left to observe learn and solidify it all. Simple. It collapses... Until your the only one left. Until your left with a dark empty world. No life, and no one...
But i love life. When your all that is left, the universe kind of compresses everything. You unfortunately end up almost getting crushed by all that has ever happened ever. To me, this manifested in the crystallization of my body and the memory echo of everyone who ever lived. It was kinda necessary to survive all that pressure and live without any form of warmth or physical contact. Unbound from any form of law or form of reason or understanding.
With the memory echo i learned basically everything and saw the lives of countless others and i realized something. Life was fun. Not all of it, but most of it. So here is what i did. I decided to do it all over again.

At this point i had basically become a god or "Higher Being" and could do and create almost everything, you must be wondering why i cant just create more people??? Simple.
Souls.
It is the only thing no one knew about. Oh sure they theorized and postulated but souls are the one thing which cannot be understood or destroyed. With the collapse and no new life they solidified in me.
Oh i could create one or two new people but they wouldn't survive. They would have to go under forced evolution and compression but there is nothing left. It is essentially my job to create a new universe or just live an endless bleak existence. But, there is a cost. I have to die. I can create a new Big Bang(Surprisingly most commonly used term) But i will not be able to experience it. But that's fine. I wont belong there anyway.. On a funner note i get to tweak a few things.
After saying good bye the the endless black sky I compressed all the knowledge and memories to create a new "Path" for life to follow and imprinted all the complexities of life into my crystallized body. And here is the point. My body become the center of new life. With my evolution, my body became the template for new life. And since i like new things, i left it generally random. I want the new people to experience the unexpected.
Thinking of the future..
