Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 205 Chapter How big is Lin You’s ambition?
Over the past month, Lin You has completely stopped his work as a writer; apart from trying hard to cultivate the little girl's good "eating" habits, the rest of his time is spent watching plays.

The timeless drama between Olympus and the Pantheon.

Zeus finally caught the Pantheon at the cost of one third of the gods falling asleep, one third of the gods being suppressed or fleeing because of rebellion, and Pluto being seriously injured and recuperating. With both human and material evidence, the Pantheon's crime of destroying the world plan was completely nailed down.

However, Jupiter did not sit and wait for death; after He made many efforts, He was able to reverse the situation somewhat in terms of the punishment after confirming the charges.

Standing on the moral high ground, Zeus came with great momentum and wanted to decide the outcome with just one battle; he demanded that the Pantheon be completely placed under the Olympian pantheon system, and that all the existing gods of the Pantheon be downgraded to incarnations of the Olympian gods.

At the same time, Pantheon's status as a founding member of the Great World Project was revoked, and Jupiter's ban on the Quill was lifted.

Even if the writer were to make the judgment, this punishment was indeed overly harsh; as for the other gods who originally just wanted to watch the fun, they felt sympathy for their own kind, and at the same time were dissatisfied and disgusted with Olympus' aggressive attitude.

Jupiter promptly and accurately grasped the psychological changes of other gods, won over some allies, and proposed a relatively lighter punishment; after all, the conspiracy in the God of War world this time was led by Ares, the God of War. The power struggle within Olympus, the Pantheon just wanted to fish in troubled waters, why should it be punished so severely?

"This is the current situation." Athena calmly described the focus of the struggle between the two sides. "The Pantheon admitted the fact of destroying the Great World Plan, but in terms of the specific punishment, they fell into a clash of opinions on 'leniency' and 'heavy punishment'."

Lin You laughed in silence: "I just said that Zeus is the wisest god in Olympus; now think about it, this sentence should be changed. He is indeed the wisest god in Olympus, but unfortunately his wisdom is still not enough. He stole cattle from the fields, and the punishment does not fit the crime; and he wants to do things to the extreme and take all the benefits, how can he not be hated? The world is not just your Olympus family."

The relationships between the various gods that jointly build the Great World Plan are intricate and complicated. If Lin You were asked to evaluate various situations, he would definitely think of the various international organizations he had seen in the real dimension in his previous life.

For example, the Union... No, it should be said that it is a certain European Union. They keep shouting about speaking with one voice, but in fact, they just shout about whatever they need. It is estimated that except for the collective agreement to establish that alliance organization, there has never been any completely unified opinion within the organization.

If we use this incident as an example, the biggest mistake Zeus made was to mistake the European Union for the United Nations, and he also thought that Mount Olympus was a big gangster.

"Now the various pantheons have been arguing endlessly and the stalemate has lasted too long; so another voice has emerged saying that we need a neutral, objective third party to provide opinions and make judgments." When Athena mentioned the "third party", her eyes were always fixed on the writer.

Lin You asked calmly: "Did they mention me?"

"No." Athena shook her head slightly, "But after hearing this, my father immediately asked me to come see you."

Lin You couldn't help but sigh: "How great would it be if you came here just to deliver the cage? Then I would definitely welcome you very sincerely."

"But you are not welcome now?" Athena asked. "It is not like you to reject us without even asking for conditions. Could it be that Jupiter has already contacted you first?"

"I have always felt that Jupiter may be smarter than Zeus and understand me better. He knows exactly what role I can play as a writer, and he also knows what role I hope to play in the current situation; so he simply doesn't come to see me and doesn't do this useless work."

Athena frowned slightly: "You mean, you will reject both Mount Olympus and the Pantheon at the same time, no matter what conditions we offer?"

"In addition to the quill pen, my neutral and impartial stance is my biggest reliance for gaining the right to speak. If I abandon these, no matter what conditions I offer, it will not make up for my loss." Lin You said in a gentle but resolute tone, "None of you can make up for my loss of the right to speak." Athena said in a deep voice: "As long as you stand with us, Mount Olympus can protect your right to speak."

"Don't use such stupid words to deceive people. It will only insult your title as the goddess of wisdom." Lin You sneered, "The right to speak under the protection of the Olympus pantheon is worthless. Otherwise, you don't need to come to see me now and seek my help."

Athena was speechless again, and after a long while she said, "The right to speak without the power to protect it is also of little value."

Lin You laughed again: "How ambitious do you think I am? To say what I mean and have all the gods bow down to me? No, I just want to gradually deepen an impression in the minds of the gods; when they quarrel endlessly and no one can convince the opponent in terms of strength or words, they will all remember that there is a neutral, objective and fair writer in this world."

At this point, Athena fully understood the writer's thoughts, but she was not optimistic about it.

"Since our birth, we have observed the history of the real dimension and the illusory dimension for thousands of years, and have come to a conclusion: maintaining authority with strength is simpler, more stable, and more lasting than maintaining authority with justice. When the gods come to you, can you guarantee that every judgment you make will be accepted by everyone - even if you think the judgment is fair?"

"If objectivity and fairness are a test of moral character, then the ability to give appropriate advice and judgments is a test of wisdom." Lin You responded calmly, "Morality and wisdom are both equally valuable and indispensable."

"Then I will wait for your first performance in judging the conflict among the gods." Athena left these words before turning away.

Lin You said to His back: "I'm afraid it won't be too fast. If you want to see my performance, you need to be more patient."

Athena turned around in confusion.

Lin You smiled and said, “If the gods are not allowed to argue to their heart’s content, or even to the point where all the participants get impatient, they won’t realize how important a neutral and fair voice is.”

It was not until the goddess of wisdom and war disappeared that Lin You patted Daedalus on the shoulder and "woken up" the old man who had pretended to be deaf and dumb for most of the day.

"Come on, I'll show you where I plan to place the control device." Despite his small body, he behaved like an adult. "How long will it take to install the entire cage?"

Daedalus replied cheerfully: "It won't take long. The design was already made when it was cast, and the placement process is very simple..."

The communication between the man and the god continued naturally from the previous conversation, as if Athena had never interrupted them.

　Because the update time and quantity cannot be guaranteed, I can only post as I write. If I have time, I will write more, and if I don't have time, I will post less. If I write too much, I will not consider keeping drafts. Because I said before that I would try to update 6,000 words a day, after calculating in the past few days, I definitely owe more than I have written, and I can't keep the drafts.

　　That's about it.
