[Alexandr Korol]

It turns out that in the previous volumes I described the underworld and the realm of the dead, and I also thought that there is the world of the sky and the world of the earth. But now I understand that beyond these four worlds, there is something else. On the one hand, I want to say that it is something higher above them, and on the other — that it is simply a new world, made up of them. And until you come to know the four worlds I previously described, and free yourself from them, the next one will not be revealed to you.

It is as if I was coming to know the cardinal directions: that there is morning, day, evening, and night; that there is spring, summer, autumn, and winter; that there is, indeed, south, north, east, and west. But it is as if there is still something more, when you free yourself from all of this — a kind of golden mean. And this too is a kind of world.

And as I come to the conclusion of Volume Nine, it is made clear to me that the world of the sky is not yet the final one, it is not the end. That the source, the original code, toward which I am moving, is something higher than these four worlds. And the world of the sky is not the main or the ultimate one — there is still something else. So my search does not end here. And perhaps, in the next volumes of “Alternative History”, I will find this golden mean.
