I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Jing tapped the table with his index finger.

"Omniscience paradox?"

He thought carefully and seemed not to have heard of this concept before, so he shook his head.

"The author of this book is named Iyengar Vyas, an Indian."

Wu Youqing placed her palm on the cover of "Omniscience Paradox" and spoke softly.

"He was obsessed with researching the Heretic Gods, especially the Old Gods of the 'Old Days lineage,' and devoted a massive amount of effort to it. His achievements were substantial, paving the way for humanity to understand the path of the Heretic Gods with numerous bricks and tiles."

"In this book, based on his research of a special Olden Days Heretic God, Iyengar proposed a law, named: All-Knowing and All-Powerful Unity Law."

Xue Jing's eyes showed curiosity, "What does that mean?"

All-knowing and all-powerful...these are the ultimate pursuit theoretically for all beings capable of thought, encompassing all meanings, everything.

Attracted by the charm of these four words, Xue Jing couldn't help but be stirred.

Wu Youqing continued, "Iyengar proposed that the so-called all-knowing and all-powerful, seemingly two words and two concepts, are actually one and the same: to be all-knowing is to be all-powerful, and to be all-powerful is to be all-knowing. If one cannot achieve one aspect, then the other does not truly qualify as 'all.'"

"This is also the origin of 'Omniscience Paradox'... All-knowing and all-powerful are one and the same, being all-knowing necessitates being all-powerful, and vice versa."

"If you are 'all-powerful,' then you should easily make yourself all-knowing. If not, then you are not truly all-powerful."

"If you are 'all-knowing,' then you should certainly know how to make yourself instantly all-powerful. If not, then you are not truly all-knowing."

Xue Jing pondered with a thoughtful look: "So that's how it is, because of being all-knowing one is all-powerful, and if one is not all-powerful, then one cannot claim to be all-knowing... This is the 'Omniscience Paradox'?"

"The paradox was proposed inspired by a special Olden Days Heretic God, named — 'All-Knowing Demon.'"

Wu Youqing said.

"This is a peculiar Olden Days entity, Iyengar believed Its birth stemmed from the materialization of the concept of 'all-knowing.'"

"...Such a grand concept shouldn't have manifested as a deity. The birth of the All-Knowing Demon was an accident within an accident."

"The so-called 'Olden Days' are Superstring Entities that appeared when the world was all chaotic and vague, devoid of any meaning, only after the birth of 'the Serpent' did they gain meaning and order, and thereby took on specific forms."

"Which is to say, the Olden Days were born in a world without order, without logic, giving 'all-knowing' the opportunity to exploit a loophole and become a Superstring Entity."

"In a world without logic, there are no paradoxes, thus allowing the All-Knowing Demon to be born. And at the moment 'the Serpent' brought order and logic to the world, the conceptually grand All-Knowing Demon ought to have become the supreme, all-knowing, and all-powerful entity."

"Therefore, It triggered the 'Omniscience Paradox.'"

Like a diligent student, Xue Jing listened attentively, and Wu Youqing took a sip of her tea before continuing:

"Due to its concept, the All-Knowing Demon began to instantly ponder how to achieve 'all-powerfulness.'"

"And then... It got stuck."

"The greatness It was supposed to possess led It towards all-powerfulness, but Its own 'magnitude,' not even reaching that of the 'ancient three pillars,' could not bear this greatness."

"Having achieved 'all-knowing,' yet unable to reach 'all-powerfulness,' the All-Knowing Demon was trapped by a special phenomenon called 'Paradox Prison.'"

"If everything in the world were likened to a program, the All-Knowing Demon would be a BUG caught in the system."

"It was born in a chaotic and unlogical world where 'any program could run,' but after 'the Serpent' brought order, as long as Its 'magnitude' couldn't surpass that of the Serpent, It couldn't overcome the Serpent's order."

"To put it simply, an accidentally born BUG got stuck by another BUG."

Xue Jing remarked thoughtfully, "So that's how it is... The world of gods is truly fascinating."

All-knowing and all-powerful, Paradox Prison...

All are concepts so profound and abstract, they touch upon the most fundamental logic of the world's operation.

Truly fascinating.

"What does the All-Knowing Demon have to do with the Parasitic Candle that has come from another world to target me?"

Xue Jing queried with confusion.

"Of course, there's a connection." Wu Youqing shifted her gaze to the delicate phantom that others couldn't see or sense, clinging closely to Xue Jing, and she sighed.

"You should be aware that 'time' is a concept that doesn't actually exist; it's merely a scalar that humans have created to record the movement of matter."

Teacher Wu Youqing went on with her lecture, and Xue Jing nodded along.

"Therefore, so-called time travel, moving into the future, is just a false illusion. In this world, only the past and the present truly exist. 'The future' is an ephemeral phenomenon that cannot be anchored down. Even gods as Superstring Entities cannot control the future; it always remains in a state of 'unknown.'"

"...So, what do you think, why could a being from another world act like it had foreknowledge of the future, and spend over a decade preparing in advance to send that Parasitic Candle across worlds to deal with you today?"

Xue Jing frowned slightly: "Are you suggesting that this event is related to the 'All-Knowing Demon'?"

Was it possible that he was being targeted by a terrifying Olden Days Heretic God like the All-Knowing Demon?

"No way... Although absolute foreknowledge of the future is impossible for anyone to achieve, with sufficiently vast amounts of information, one could perform relatively accurate 'Future Calculations.' In that case, there should be many beings capable of doing this, why jump to a conclusion that the outlandish 'All-Knowing Demon' is the main suspect?"
