Diary a Million Years Later#
Dear Diary,
Today is an ordinary day a million years after my immortality. I sit atop a high mountain, gazing at the plains and the sea below. Once, this was a place of flourishing human civilization; now, only the ruins remain, submerged in reeds and thorns.
I still remember the grandeur of this place hundreds of thousands of years ago. As an important commercial hub in ancient times, it gathered the finest cultures from all over. The wonders of Aeropolis architecture and the Hanging Gardens made it a miracle of the world at that time. The city was filled with intricately carved sculptures and fountains, giving an extraordinary feeling. This city was once so prosperous and magnificent, yet now it has become a wasteland, and this contrast brings tears to my eyes.
Documenting the rise and fall of this city makes me more aware that no civilization can last forever. Just like a person from birth to old age, ultimately destined for death. This is the rule of the universe; everything will eventually turn to dust. This also makes me understand that the meaning of immortality lies not only in witnessing but also in inheriting the spirit of civilization.
So I began to think about how to preserve the memories of this city in my heart. I decided to build a magnificent memorial, using various materials to depict the former glory of this city. I carved towering city walls and palaces from marble, shaped crowns and thrones from gold, restoring its former glory.
This memorial stood for over a hundred thousand years, only to be eventually buried by wind and sand. Watching it turn to dust, I realized that external forms will eventually vanish. So how can I eternally remember everything that has happened here? Finally, I decided to record the story of this city, allowing its soul to endure through written creation.
I spent hundreds of thousands of years creating tens of thousands of epics, poems, and novels in various languages. Among them, the long poem "The Legend of Aeropolis" records the history of the city's establishment and its former living scenes. I wrote down the joys and sorrows of the common people, recreating the ever-changing face of this city. This work was passed down for over a hundred thousand years, becoming a classic of that era.
But after 800,000 years, these languages and texts gradually faded from memory. I flipped through my works and found them difficult to understand. They appeared rigid and incomprehensible to later generations, losing their emotional impact. I realized that the lifespan of words is limited; to inherit civilization, I needed to use a more universal approach.
Therefore, I turned my attention to music and dance. Through the combination of melody and rhythm, music can express universal human emotions, while dance can convey the rhythm of life through the body. I created epic symphonies lasting thousands of years, as well as ritual dances reflecting the history of this city, hoping to preserve its imprint in a more intuitive artistic form.
I once thought that through these means, the story of this city could be passed down forever. However, everything has an end; millions of years later, this land underwent tremendous geological changes and was submerged by the sea. Those music and dances were also lost over the long years. Watching the familiar mountains sink into the sea, I understood that everything will eventually fade away.
At this moment, I finally grasped the meaning of immortality. Looking back over millions of years, I tried to keep a civilization that had long since perished alive through various means. But ultimately, all material forms will vanish. What I want to inherit is not only its history but also the spiritual power contained in human civilization.
So I turned my perspective inward, reconstructing every brick and tile of this city in my mind. I repeatedly recalled every person I had encountered, their character and emotional hues. I relived the rise and fall of this city in my consciousness, replaying those important historical scenes over and over. I immersed myself in the atmosphere and cultural trends of that era, integrating them into my own life experience. Although the external material forms no longer exist, the city in my heart remains vivid.
When I close my eyes, I seem to return to Aeropolis millions of years ago. I see the bustling marketplace and lively galleries, smell the aroma of street food stalls, and hear the music played by court musicians... This city lives on in my rich memories, becoming an indelible part of my life.
In this way, I will reconstruct the civilization I once witnessed in the ocean of consciousness. Although they have long since perished materially, their spirit will endure through my memories. My inner world will gather all the cultural treasures of humanity, transcending the barriers of time, shining forever.
This is my ultimate understanding of immortality. As an immortal being, my mission is to carry the spark of civilization, protect the essence created by humanity, and ensure that its light never fades. I will continue to wander, passing the flame of civilization from generation to generation in the long river of time, until the end of the universe.
Dear Diary, today's writing ends here. Tomorrow I will continue this never-ending process, transforming everything I see into the power of immortality. This is my greatest emotional investment in this land and the highest interpretation of the meaning of life.
Diary on the Day of Heat Death#
Dear Diary,
Today, the universe has finally entered the so-called "heat death" state. Over these billions of years, all galaxies have gradually drifted apart, all stellar fuels have been exhausted and turned into black holes or white dwarfs, and the thermal energy in the universe has gradually tended toward uniform distribution, plunging everything into stillness and darkness.
Now, only the pitch-black void remains around me. Occasionally, a few remaining stars slowly fade away, emitting faint light, only to be swallowed by endless darkness. In this boundless silence, I have roamed for a long time, witnessing the entire process of the universe transitioning from its peak to cold deathly silence.
I still remember billions of years ago, this was a vibrant world. I have seen countless civilizations born, develop, and decline here. Some civilizations spread throughout the galaxy, creating magnificent architecture and timeless literature; others were even shorter-lived than life on Earth, existing for only a few hundred years before disappearing into the long history. I have witnessed too much life and death, and on this eternal journey, my heart has transcended all emotions.
Now, all life has been extinguished, all civilizations have vanished, and the entire universe has fallen into eternal slumber. On this day at the end of time, the only thing I can do is record everything I see as a final tribute to the lives that have passed.
I began to recall the first civilization I saw billions of years ago. They lived on a planet three thousand light-years away from Earth, one of the few intelligent beings that emerged just a few million years after the Big Bang. I still remember their aged faces and humble lives, as well as the curiosity and longing for the unknown world reflected in their eyes. Their greatest contribution was inventing faster-than-light travel, becoming the first civilization capable of freely navigating the galaxy. Unfortunately, due to war and internal strife, their civilization lasted only a mere few thousand years before disappearing in the torrent of history. When I roamed their homeland, I could still faintly sense their presence.
In the following millions of years, I witnessed a period of explosive civilization. In a short span of time, countless intelligent species emerged in the galaxy. They established one glorious civilization after another, and I witnessed their development from humble tribes to super civilizations spread across the galaxy. During their peak, various civilizations connected through faster-than-light travel, knowledge and technology flourished, and the universe was filled with the atmosphere of progress and hope. I have seen them build mining stations around black holes, transform the climate of entire planets, and even ignite the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy... The miracles they created are countless. Behind such splendid civilizations, I saw the pinnacle of life's power and the great pursuit of the small individual for the dream of immortality.
However, no civilization can last forever. Disasters and wars followed, and powerful civilizations were destroyed one after another. I watched them struggle, yet still unable to prevent the fate of civilization's demise. No matter how brilliant their achievements or how miraculous their engineering creations, in the end, they could not withstand the erosion of time. The speed of civilization's extinction far exceeds that of its birth; I watched as one civilization after another shone brightly and then went extinct, and the universe returned to its void of silence.
Over the long years, civilizations flickered in the universe like fleeting moments. I have seen Type II civilizations burning entire star systems as power engines; I have seen civilizations turning all planets into computers; I have also seen the construction of a brain surrounding the galaxy to prevent civilization's destruction... They all perished in the torrent of history. Those at the peak of civilization could hardly imagine that their prosperity would ultimately be destroyed in an instant.
Now, the darkness that devours civilizations has finally arrived. At the end of time, what I must do is carry the memories of these lost civilizations, forever watching over the brilliance and miracles they once brought. Even if the entire universe is cold and extinguished, I will let the light of civilization burn in my consciousness until I consume every ounce of energy in my body, and my spirit will wither away.
Dear Diary, rather than saying this is the end of the universe, it is more accurate to say it is the end of my existence. Once the energy within me is exhausted, I will lose the ability to maintain consciousness, and at that point, I will truly die. Although I have lived for billions of years, I am ultimately just a tiny individual in the universe.
When I fade away, will there be an omniscient and omnipotent god of civilization to inherit everything I have recorded? I do not know. But I will bury the stories and miracles of these civilizations deep within the core of this planet in some form. Perhaps in the distant future, new life will come to uncover them, reclaiming the brilliance of these lost civilizations.
Life and civilization are like lonely sparks in the universe, flickering with faint yet steadfast light in the dark night sky. Although they are destined to vanish in the torrent of time, the brilliance once shone still proves the greatness of life. I am grateful for this long cosmic journey that has allowed me to witness all of this; I am content and have no regrets in this life.
Such an ending is already beautiful enough. Before my consciousness disappears, I sincerely pray that the fire of life never goes out; that the light of civilization is passed down through generations. This is my final reflection on this grand history of the universe as an immortal being.
The future is still long, and hope remains forever...
The diary ends.
