Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 16 How to modify history without a quill pen?

After Asclepius self-destructed, Lin You, who was originally held in his hand, fell hard on his butt with a "bang". When he got up, he found Chronos looking at him strangely.

"What are you looking at?" Lin You looked unhappy and brushed off the dirt on his body.

"You don't seem worried about the Ophiuchus curse?"

Lin You laughed dumbly: "Curse? Is it a curse? Why do I feel like he gave me a great gift? A small universe that is comparable to that of a god... uh... although I can't unleash its power yet."

"I mean Zeus' attitude." The God of Time reminded.

Lin You sneered: "Even a mortal with a clear mind would know that 'the person who uses power' and 'power itself' are two different things. Even if Zeus is really blinded by fear, it means that He is just a fool."

"Even if he is a fool, he is a powerful fool who can unleash the wrath of thunder."

Lin You nonchalantly counted on his fingers: "God, Ra, Odin, Buddha, Allah, and even you; which one would like to see me in trouble?"

Chronos sighed: "We really don't want anything to happen to you."

Although Earl Goff has only an eight-year-old body, his mind is that of a sober adult; he knows very well that unless the big world plan fails, or a soul more suitable to wield the quill pen than himself comes through from the real dimension, all the gods in the sky will not allow anything to happen to him.

No matter how deep the fear planted in Zeus' heart was, if he had any brains, he would stay quietly on Mount Olympus.

Seeing that Lin You was not affected, Chronos did not say much, but just looked up and said: "Since you think it's okay, then deal with the problem at hand."

The spatial cracks caused by the logical contradictions in the worldviews had long been swept away, and the end of the world's destruction had been stopped. However, the big world was still hanging high above his head, and the two worlds had not yet merged.

Lin You’s mind raced, and when his eyes fell on the majestic marble buildings around him, he immediately figured it out.

"The fundamental contradiction has been resolved. There should only be some minor logical flaws left to deal with. The main one is the existence of this sanctuary, which still needs a reasonable explanation. I used my quill pen to solve the problem of people. The Pope and the Saint Seiya group that made up the sanctuary no longer exist, but the sanctuary's buildings are still there, as are the buildings of its subordinate institutions around the world."

"But they are part of the history of the Saint Seiya. Why would their existence be unreasonable?" Chronos didn't understand.

"Yes, they are indeed part of history and have a reasonable existence. However, for the world, a reasonable existence also requires a reasonable discovery process, and it cannot appear so abruptly in front of the world. Just think about it, when people in the big world wake up and open their eyes, they suddenly find that there is an ancient building complex covering hundreds of square kilometers in the world? Do you want to scare people to death?"

Lin You explained patiently;

"Even in the original history of the Saint Seiya world, the Sanctuary was protected by a powerful barrier and was always hidden from the world's sight; but unfortunately, Ophiuchus destroyed the barrier, so that the Sanctuary had to appear in the world. What we have to do now is to create a reasonable reason for the Sanctuary to appear in the big world. Originally, this work should have been done by the quill pen, but now there is no ink, right?"

Listening to Lin You's explanation, Chronos thought for a moment, "You mean, it would be reasonable to let people from the big world gradually discover the Holy Land, just like an archaeological excavation?"

"That's right. Let these buildings become dilapidated over time, covered by wasteland and weeds, and become historical relics. Then, at a certain historical period in the big world, they will be discovered by archaeologists." Lin You said with a smile, "Of course, there is more than one way. If you are willing to stay in the sanctuary for a few hundred years and rebuild and maintain the invisibility barrier for it, that is also a way."

Maintaining the protective barrier of the sanctuary was originally the job of the popes and the gold saints. Unfortunately, now all of them have been captured. If the god of time is willing, he can indeed take over this job, but it will cost more divine power, and he cannot leave at will. Chronos rolled his eyes and said, "No need. I think turning it into a historical relic is a good idea. And after it becomes a relic, when the Saint Seiya story restarts a new chapter in the future, it can continue the past history in a logical way."

As he spoke, the Time Scythe was swung again; for a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and large amounts of sand and gravel gathered towards the Holy Land from all directions, like a sandstorm rising from the ground.

When the dust settled, from the Temple of Athena, the Pope's Hall, the Thirteen Palaces, and the Saint Seiya training and living areas at the foot of the mountain were all covered in yellow sand.

Then, large tracts of green vegetation began to emerge on the vast yellow sand. Trees, shrubs, and weeds grew wildly, and in an instant the sanctuary was transformed into a green ocean. No traces of human activity could be seen anymore.

"It's done!" Lin You shouted happily, and at the same time, looking up, he saw the big world above his head falling down rapidly; the two worlds successfully merged.

"My guess was right. Changes in purely physical properties can be handled in other ways. It doesn't necessarily have to be done with a quill."

Lin You was dancing with joy, and Chronos' eyelids twitched as he listened.

"You were just guessing before, and you didn't know if it would work?"

Lin You spread his hands and said, "Make bold assumptions and verify them carefully. 'Real factors' are difficult to collect, so the more you can save, the better. This is also for the future success of the Great World Project."

The God of Time looked coldly at the eight-year-old Earl Goff and did not speak for a long time.

When the portal sent Lin You back from the 18th century sanctuary to the 20th century Forest Manor, no one knew that another story had been integrated into the big world except for a few caring gods. No one knew that the end of the world had almost happened.

There were two people when they left, but when they came back, there was a baby girl in swaddling clothes.

The unweaned goddess, like other babies of the same age, slept at least sixteen hours a day. Even the end of the world, the fall of gods, and time travel did not wake this girl up; she was still sleeping soundly in Lin You's arms.

This situation made Lin You even more annoyed.

So you don't care about anything else, but you deliberately jump out to disrupt me when I'm writing the ending, right?

A golden gem hung on the little girl's chest, emitting a warm glow; it was the energy condensed after all the holy clothes were broken apart, and it was also the essence and spark of the Saint Seiya system.

Lin You raised his short hands and wanted to hand the swaddling clothes back to Chronos.

Just now, the God of Time said that he had to free up his hands to open the portal, so he handed the little girl to Lin You to hold. Now the door was opened and the people came back, but when Lin You wanted to hand the swaddling clothes back, Chronos avoided him without leaving a trace.

Ok? !
