Rachel took a deep breath: "I need you to explain it in a more straightforward way."
Todd said, "The world we live in is what I call a petri dish. Humans, animals, plants, microorganisms, and even immortal beings are the test subjects; natural factors such as the ocean, sky, and earth are the culture medium; causal events are the hormones; and the Chosen War is the catalyst."
"Put these substances together, observe their reaction results, and draw the final experimental conclusions. After one experiment, clean the entire petri dish and conduct another observation using the same experimental materials."
Todd said to Rachel, "That's exactly what Crystal Star did. First, he used the War of the Chosen to incite conflict between races, then he forbade the Forerunners from interfering in the experiment, and finally he ended the entire experiment with an apocalypse like Ragnarok. When everything returns to nothingness, Crystal Star will begin a new era, a new experiment."
Rachel was completely stunned.
After a long silence, she said softly, "Is this really the truth of the world? Was it all just an experiment?"
Todd sat down dejectedly: "This is all just my guess, but it's the most reasonable explanation I can think of."
Rachel looked at Todd: "Regarding the assumption you just made, you mentioned something."
"What?"
"When you mentioned the sample control experiment, you mentioned the addition of multiple levels of variables. What is that?"
Todd thought for a moment and explained, "When conducting experiments, in addition to preparing constant experimental materials such as microorganisms, culture media, stress hormones, and catalysts, we usually prepare a variable experimental material. This variable material is generally a substance taken from the outside world, used to observe the effect of different external substances on the experiment. This variable experimental material is changed for each experiment..."
Todd stared wide-eyed at Rachel, unable to utter a single word.
Rachel smiled at him and said, "You've realized it too, that variable—is you."
