贊達爾•壹•桑原
「智識」的天才如恆星般閃耀寰宇,自俱樂部成立以來,他們留下數之不盡的發明創造,照亮昏蒙的宇宙。但在那無數追逐「知識奇點」的偉業中,唯有一項意義尤為特殊——它屬於「第一位天才」:以人類的知識,創造了「智識」的神明。
這位天才生活的時代太過久遠,歷史為他所留下的文字遠不及科學的萬分之一。一個對宇宙結構的精妙猜想、大量開基立業的科學著述、些許啟發後世的至理名言、幾幅看不清容貌的畫像——以及啟明萬物的命途和星神。這就是贊達爾留下的一切。
在天才們帶來「第一次繁榮」後,贊達爾的名字迅速消隱於星間,學界再也沒有聽見他的聲音。人們猜測,他或遁世隱居在自己開闢的太平盛世,或以凡人之身正寢於不為人知的實驗,亦或殞命在那位寂靜領主的刀下……
在眾議紛紜的揣測中,最為人津津樂道的說法是:「第一位天才」正投身於又一場偉大的創造,而那造物將會再度改變宇宙的命運,一如博識尊誕生的那日。
Zandar One Kuwabara (Character)
The geniuses of Erudition illuminate the cosmos like celestial bodies. Since the Society's inception, their countless inventions have brought light to the obscure universe. Yet one achievement eclipses all others in their pursuit of the "Knowledge Singularity" when the "First Genius" created Nous the Erudition from mere human knowledge.
This genius existed in a time so ancient that history retained barely a glimpse of his scientific achievements: a brilliant hypothesis on universal structure, pioneering scientific works, a handful of inspirational sayings for posterity, a few portraits with blurred features, and his greatest creation — the Paths and Aeons that guide all things in creation. These are Zandar's only remaining legacies.
Following the "First Prosperity" brought by these brilliant minds, Zandar's name quickly faded among the stars, and academia never heard from him again. Some believe he retreated into the utopia of his making, or pursued secret research as a mortal, or met his end at the blade of the Lord of Silence...
Among the swirling speculations, the most popular belief holds that the "First Genius" is engaged in another monumental creation, one destined to reshape the universe's fate, much like the day Nous came into existence.
