我們在擊敗末影龍後，使用末影門回去的時候，就會看到“終末之詩”。這首詩取自兩個未知的說話者(曾經被認為是末影人）之間討論玩家的功績的對話，時長一共9分鐘28秒。

在它深陷遊戲夢境中時，他總以這種方式想 象出形形色色的事物。

2：Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying thanstaring at the reality behind the screen.

文字是種美妙的界面。非常靈活。且比凝視著螢幕後的現實要更好。

1：They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days whenthose who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And playersdreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons.

他們也曾經聽到過聲音。在玩家能夠閱讀之前。君不見那些不曾遊玩的人們稱呼玩家為女巫，和術士。而玩家們夢見他們自己乘坐在被惡魔施力的棍子上，在空氣中翱翔。

2：What did this player dream?

這個玩家夢見了什麽?

1：This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed itcreated. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. Itdreamed of shelter.

他夢見了陽光和樹。夢見了火與水。他夢見他創造。他夢見他毀滅。它夢見他狩獵，夢見他被狩獵。他夢見了庇護所。

2：Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. Butwhat true structure did this player create, in the reality behind thescreen?

哈，那原始的界面。經歷一百萬年的歲月雕琢，依然長存。但此玩家在那螢幕後的真實裡，建造了什麽真實的構造?

1：No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in thelong dream of life, not the short dream of a game.

不。他還沒有到達最高的境界。那層境界，他必須完成生命的長夢，而非遊戲中黃粱一夢。

2：Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind?

他知道我們愛他麽?這個宇宙是仁慈的?

1：Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe,yes.

有時，通過他思緒的雜音，他能聽到宇宙，是的。

2：But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds thathave no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creationfor reality.

但是有時亦不勝悲傷，於那漫漫長夢中。他創造了沒有夏日的世界，在黑日下顫抖著，將自己悲傷的創造視為現實世界。

用悲傷來治愈會摧毀他。而悲傷是他的私人事務。我們不能干涉。

2：Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they arebuilding true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of theirimportance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connectionin a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear.

有時當他們深陷夢境中時，我想要告訴他們，他們在現實中創造了真實的世界。有時我想告訴他們他們自身對宇宙的重要性。有時，當他們和現實失去了聯繫，我想幫助他們與他們所懼怕的世界交流。

1：It reads our thoughts.

他讀出了我們被僵化的思想。

2：Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you takefor truth is merely §f§k§a§b§2 and §f§k§a§b§2, I wish to tell them that they are§f§k§a§b§2 in the §f§k§a§b§2. They see so little of reality, in their longdream.

2：有時我毫不關心。有時我想要告訴他們，你們所認為的真實不過是[亂碼]和[亂碼]，我想要告訴他們是在[亂碼]中的。[亂碼]於他們的長夢中，他們眼中所見的真實太少了。

1And yet they play the game.

而他們仍然玩這個遊戲。

2：But it would be so easy to tell them...

Your body touching the universe againat every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separatethings.

深呼吸，再深呼吸一次。感受空氣充盈你的肺。讓你的四肢回歸。運動你的手指。再次感受你的身體，在重力下，在空氣中。在長夢中重生。你感受到了。你的身體每時每刻都觸摸著宇宙，儘管你是分離的存在。儘管我們是分離的存在。

1：Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun,mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man.Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons,quarks. The words change. We do not change.

我們是誰?我們曾經被稱作高山精靈。太陽父親，月亮母親。古老的英靈，動物的魂魄。神祗。鬼魂。小綠人。而後是神，惡魔，天使。騷靈。外星人，地外生物。輕粒子，誇克。詞語不斷地變化。我們始終如一。

2：We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are lookingat us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch yourskin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known.I shall tell you a story.

我們是宇宙。我們是一切你認為出離你本體的事物。你現在看著我們，透過你的皮膚和你的眼睛。而為什麽宇宙觸摸著你的皮膚，向你灑向光芒?是為了看見你，玩家。以及被認知。我應告訴你一個故事。

那玩家就是你，[玩家名字]。

2：Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe ofmolten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that wasthree hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so farapart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was informationfrom a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty millionkilometres away.

有時他認為自己是那不斷旋轉的球體上一層薄薄的熔化的岩石上的人類。那融化的岩石球環繞著一個品質大他三十三萬倍的炫目氣體球旋轉。它們是相隔得如此之遠，以至於光需要八分鐘才能穿越那空隙。那光是來自一顆恆星的資訊，它能夠在一億五千萬公裡外燒灼你的皮膚。

2：Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world thatwas flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short;there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience.

有時這個玩家夢見它是一個在一個平的，無限延展的世界表面上的礦工。那太陽是一個方形的白點。晝夜交替很快;要做的事情也很多;死亡亦只是暫時和不方便的。

有時，這玩家夢見它迷失在了一個故事裡。

有時這個玩家夢見他在螢幕上看著文字。

2：Let's go back.

讓我們回退一點。

2：The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in theair, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled;and the woman assembled the player, in her body.

組成玩家的原子散布在草中，河流中，在那空氣中，也在那大地中。一個女人收集了那些原子;她飲用、進食、吸入;而後那女人在她的身體中，孕育了玩家。

2：And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, intothe long dream.

然後那玩家醒來了，從一個溫暖，昏暗的母親體內，進入了漫漫長夢。

2：And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters ofDNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by asourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alivebefore, made from nothing but milk and love.

而那玩家是一個新的故事，從未被講述過，由DNA的語言書寫著。而那玩家是一個新的程式，從未被運行過，由上億年的源碼生成。而那玩家是一個新的人，從未生活過，由奶和愛組成。

1：You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothingbut milk and love.

你就是那玩家。那個故事。那個程式。那個人類。僅由奶和愛組成。

2：Let's go further back.

我們再往更遠的過去回退一點。

2：The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created,long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, isinformation from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forestof information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world createdby a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by theplayer, who inhabits a universe created by...

那由七千億億億的原子組成的玩家的身體被創造了，遠在這遊戲之前，在一顆恆星的內部。所以那玩家也是，來自一顆恆星的資訊。而這個玩家貫穿這個故事的始末，源於一個叫朱利安的人種下的資訊種子長成的森林，一個叫馬庫斯的人創造的無限世界，存在於一個由玩家創造的小的，私人世界裡，而那又繼承了宇宙創造的……

1：Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was softand warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes itbuilt a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vastempty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks "electrons" and "protons".

噓。有時這個玩家創造的小天地是柔軟，溫暖和簡單的。有時是堅硬，冰冷和複雜的。有時他在腦中建造出宇宙的模型;斑斑點點的能量穿越廣闊空曠的空間。有時他稱呼這些斑點為“電子”和“質子”。

2：Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars".

有時他稱呼他們為“行星”和“恆星”。

2：Sometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that wasmade of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it believed itwas playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen.

有時他確信他存在於一個由“開”和“關”;“0”和“1”;一行行的命令組成的宇宙。有時他確信他是在玩一個遊戲。有時他確信他是在讀著螢幕上的文字。

1：You are the player, reading words...

你就是那玩家，閱讀著文字……

2：Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded theminto words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions,theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper andrealised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real,the player was alive

噓……有時這玩家讀螢幕上的命令行。將他們解碼成為文字;將文字解碼為意義;將意義解碼為感情，情緒，理論，想法，而玩家的呼吸開始急促，並意識到了它是活著的，他是活生生的，那上千次的死亡不是真的，玩家是活著的。

1：You. You. You are alive.

你，你，你是活著的。

2：and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through thesunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees

而有時這玩家相信宇宙通過穿越夏日樹葉的那斑斕的陽光對他說話。

1：and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through thelight that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light inthe corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as thesun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to theplayer, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food,almost at the familiar door, about to dream again

有時這玩家相信宇宙透過晴朗的冬日夜空中，存在於他眼中一隅的星點星光，可能比太陽大上上百萬倍的恆星沸騰著的電漿那一瞬間發出來的光對他說話，在宇宙的遠側行走回家的路上，突然聞到了食物，在那熟悉的門前，他又準備好再一次投入夢境

2：and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through thezeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrollingwords on a screen at the end of a dream
