Alex was quite surprised that one of the most asked questions, how the universe came to be, had already been answered. But despite his surprise, he wasn't too fazed by this information.
He was just asking this question to satisfy his general curiosity.
Besides, with the integration of the System and the Primordial Expanse into the livelihood of everybody in the universe, people were asking questions more profound than things like 'How did the universe start?', since they were far more interested in the System, which seemed like it had real intelligence behind it.
Many races actually revered it as a god, even some of the most advanced races in the universe, technologically speaking.
This wasn't too farfetched either, since the System really was like a god, and it was basically the only real, solid evidence out there to prove the existence of a god like being lording over the universe and beyond.
