Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 359 A Different Blame, Destined to Be

Lin You clearly remembers how he grew from eleven to sixteen; the encounter in the story world of Prince of Persia was his first interaction with Patrick Morgan. Looking back, perhaps that was also the beginning of the concrete implementation of the conspiracy of the "God of Truth".

However, at that time, everyone's attention was on the true god Ares, and almost ignored this branch god who was considered to be an "accomplice".

During that battle, Lin You's body merged with the "Sand of Time" and grew several years older. Although it was painful when he was stabbed by the "Dagger of Time" and the process of growing up was not pleasant, Lin You himself was quite happy about the final result; because not long after that, he met Diana Prince.

If he had met Diana in his eleven-year-old body - instead of the sixteen-year-old body when she grew up - Earl Goff could only sigh at the beauty; after all, an eleven-year-old child has not yet fully grown and basically does not have the "ability to commit crimes" in certain aspects.

But when he heard God bring up the old matter today, Lin You was left with only a heavy hesitation in his heart.

"I remember that when you and Chronos cleaned up the time restricted area, you cleared out a lot of 'Sand of Time'?"

God shook his head. "The cleaning work is not what you think. We need to sweep the Sands of Time out of the timeline like dust, Bryce. They are very firmly bonded to the timeline. In order to clean out the Sands of Time, we must first exhaust their energy."

Lin You suddenly realized: "That is to say, the 'Sand of Time' that you cleared out has all run out of energy and is no longer effective?"

"Yes; those that were cleared out... are just ordinary sand. Perhaps they have a little more energy carrying capacity than ordinary sand, but they do not have any special energy themselves." God observed the changes in the writer's expression, "Currently, the last active 'Sand of Time' that we know of - or time energy - is integrated into your body tissues."

"Could it be that... the sudden attack of the Norse pantheon on me was also due to the 'Sands of Time' in my body, rather than just letting me passively rest for three to five days?"

"It's hard to say there is no reason for this, but we can only ask Odin for the specific situation. I guess He is unwilling to talk to us now." God looked at the writer and seemed to have discovered something interesting. "You don't seem to resist this mission. It's different from your past habits...how should I put it...?"

From Jupiter to Zeus, from Chronos to God, the gods have let the writer take the blame and clean up the mess more than once; compared with the past, Lin You was too calm this time.

He doesn't look like a normal worker at all.

"Normal?" Facing God's more mocking question, Lin You raised a more serious question, "Don't you find it abnormal? Don't you realize that from the moment I was stabbed by the Dagger of Time, I was destined to go to the time restricted area! Pay attention to what I said - destined!"

God's expression suddenly changed.

Yes, how can the concept of "destiny" appear in the author?
The writer is the connection point between the virtual dimension and the real dimension. In the Great World Plan, he is the writer of the worldview and rules, the controller of the plot, and the agent of the will of the gods. If the writer is "destined" to have a fate - even if it is only for a certain period of time - then what are the gods and the Great World Plan?
The Big World Plan was originally the product of the gods seeing through the truth of the illusory dimension and breaking free from their predetermined fate; could it be that in the end, this product itself, as well as the gods' thoughts and actions for it, are actually still "destined" things?

But if it wasn't "destined", how do we explain what happened to the writer? For example, how do we explain his relationship with Diana Prince?

If the writer refuses to enter the "time restricted zone", then the relationship between him and Wonder Woman will become a logical contradiction, and it is a logical contradiction caused by the writer's own will.

This alone is equivalent to logically denying the writer's job responsibilities and even the meaning of his own existence; the damage caused to the world may be ten or a hundred times the chaos caused by an uncontrolled "unknown".

The more I think about it, the more frightening it becomes; if God had a real body, perhaps He would be sweating profusely at this moment.

"It seems that you have one more reason to go to the Time Forbidden Zone, Writer." The Master of the Garden of Eden was no longer as relaxed as before. He was already reflecting in his heart on why he had overlooked such crucial information.

The God in the imaginary dimension is not the omniscient and omnipotent Lord after all.

"Of course I will go, even if you don't tell me. I will go. You gods cannot be relied upon, so I can only go and check it out myself. I must know what changes have taken place in me." Lin You's tone was not very good. The worldview and operating rules of the big world were determined by him, but now changes have occurred that he cannot control.

The author is trapped by the book he wrote? Isn't that a plot from a brain hole online novel? How can it be taken seriously? I don't write this kind of thing!

Lin You secretly became angry in his heart, and reminded: "If I enter the time restricted area, will the will of the big world take the opportunity to do something? Before the 'Sand of Time' is cleaned up, it seems that you can't guarantee my safety."

"I will go there myself!" God vowed. "Before you come back from the time forbidden zone, or before you break the restrictions of the time forbidden zone, I will stay there and personally watch the will of the world. I will never give Him the opportunity to manipulate the timeline - even if it leads to a direct conflict."

"Then I can rest assured."

Lin You said this sincerely. Compared with other gods, the God he dealt with the most was indeed the most trustworthy one among them - at least when it came to matters concerning the big world plan.

As they were talking, Lin You suddenly felt a strange sense of imbalance under his feet; as if the ground was shaking violently, but when he felt it carefully, he felt no movement at all.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they might ignore it as an illusion, but God and the author are not so superficial. The changes that can directly affect the Garden of Eden must be significant.

Before they could figure it out, Chronos' figure appeared before them.

"Big world, something has happened to the Harry Potter story." The God of Time brought back a worrying news, "Barty Crouch Jr. attacked Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States."

Due to the "unknown" events that happened to Voldemort, the name Barty Crouch Jr. has also become somewhat well-known among the gods.

"Who was his target? The principal, professors, or students?" Lin You asked.

"Neither. He sneaked into the school and destroyed a snake tree in the school before being discovered. Then he escaped before the school professor chased him out."

Lin You suddenly realized: "Slytherin's snakewood wand."

God also made a judgment at the same time: "Once again, 'unknown' has happened."

Barty Crouch Jr.'s actions were exactly the same as the previous attack on the British Museum. It goes without saying that he was preparing to help Voldemort revive again; and it was another "unknown" event that was not in the original plot. Chronos reminded: "As soon as the attack happened, the gods all sensed the changes in the big world; I just came from the Nine Realms, and Odin's attitude became more arrogant. Some gods also changed their attitudes and became more pessimistic, believing that war is inevitable."

"War is the last resort." God said seriously, and then turned to the writer. "It seems that you must set off as soon as possible. Do you need to make any other preparations? The longer you delay, the more 'unknowns' will appear, and the more chaotic the situation will become."

Lin You did not hesitate and took out the five newly acquired godheads from the dimensional space; "The ones I am facing this time are all true gods. Even Patrick Morgan is close to the level of a true god..."

“It’s understandable. It’s as it should be.” God understood what Lin You meant before He finished speaking. He grabbed the five godheads in His hands, and without any movement, the godheads completely “melted” and replenished into Lin You’s microcosm in the form of energy.

After all, she is the Supreme God. Minerva had not completely "eaten" a godhead for several years. When she was in God's hands, she was transformed with just a light rub and successfully integrated into the Ophiuchus microcosm. Although this was also due to Minerva's young age and Athena's relatively special godhead, the gap between them was still visible to the naked eye, like a natural chasm.

"What should I do next?" Lin You looked at the two Supreme Gods. "Although I know that the 'Sands of Time' are in my body, how do I trigger their power?"

Chronos stretched out his finger and lightly touched Lin You's heart. An invisible energy wave penetrated into his internal organs from the outside to the inside and spread to his limbs and bones.

This is the original divine power from the God of Time, representing the energy of time that progresses layer by layer, permeating every cell of the body until the atomic level, and finally triggering the resonance of the 'Sand of Time'.

Star-like points of light seeped out from under Lin You's skin, and countless light spots gathered together. First, it was small spots of light, and then the light occupied large areas of skin, and finally his entire body turned into a ball of light.

"I forgot to ask, which time point are you planning to send me to? Is it 1840, the beginning of the time restricted zone?" Lin You hurriedly asked the last question.

"I don't know either." Chronos gave an unexpected answer. "This is different from any previous situation. We cannot interfere with the timeline of the time restricted area. Once you enter, the rest depends on you."

"Are you saying this to make me regret it?" Lin You complained unhappily.

"It's too late to regret. The power of the Sands of Time has been completely destroyed..."

Before Chronos finished speaking, there was a loud thunder and the ball of light dissipated; Lin You could no longer be seen in the Garden of Eden.

"... stimulated" the God of Time murmured the last few words.

"I didn't feel anything just now, but now I'm suddenly worried." Chronos looked at the place where the writer disappeared, as if muttering to himself, or talking to God, "This is the first time that things are completely out of our control. In the past, no matter how dangerous the situation was, at least we were sure to protect the writer's safety; even if the body was destroyed, we could still find the soul. But this time..."

"We have to accept this fact: the Great World Project has entered a new phase, a phase that none of us have experienced and have absolutely no experience to judge." God was helpless, "From now on, every step can only be groping forward; every step means unprecedented risks."

"Of course I understand... It's really hard to accept that you are not omniscient and omnipotent. How did you convince yourself to accept this?" The God of Time looked at God.

God was silent for a while, and finally shook his head: "Actually, I haven't completely convinced myself yet."

The two supreme gods sighed at the same time and went their separate ways in tacit understanding.

The gods in the virtual dimension are not omnipotent and will also encounter things that are completely uncertain.

Just like when Oppenheimer made the first atomic bomb, before the experiment, no one knew the specific power of this weapon; they even worried that the atomic bomb explosion would burn the entire atmosphere, leading to the destruction of the earth's ecosystem and human civilization.

The Great World Project is much more ambitious and more difficult than the Manhattan Project.

On the other hand, when Lin You disappeared, Minerva in the Forest Manor frowned and woke up slowly from her sleep; as if she felt something in her heart, she subconsciously called out "Brother" the moment she woke up, but there was no response.

The little girl stared blankly at the divine power in her hand. After a long while, she suddenly threw it away with both hands, discarding the "delicacy" that she had cherished so much, but held the pendant box on her chest tightly in her hands.

The jewel of the holy cloth emitted the radiance of the microcosm, but it did not receive any response from the Ophiuchus microcosm.

After trying for a long time, Minerva's little mouth became flatter and flatter, her chubby face wrinkled into a ball, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Your brother will come back!" Diana, who was woken up, squatted beside the little girl and comforted her gently.

Unexpectedly, Minerva snorted coldly, without even turning her head, not giving him any face; she just instinctively activated the holy cloth gem again and again, sending signals to the Ophiuchus microcosm. However, as she returned in vain again and again, the little guy's chest began to rise and fall violently, and she could faintly hear sobbing.

Where did my brother go?

"London?" A whistle woke Lin You from his confusion.

Looking around, a muddy and smelly river is flowing in front of us. Large and small ships are shuttling up and down the river, dragging black smoke; the ships coming down from the upper reaches are generally hauling bulk raw materials such as coal and wood, while the ships going upstream are mostly carrying various industrial products just pulled out of the factory.

Looking far into the distance, the two banks of the downstream are a bustling urban area, and a towering clock tower is looming in the mist. Lin You, who has lived in London for several years, recognized it at a glance. If it is not Big Ben, then what else could it be?
However, looking at the dirty scene in front of him, Lin You just felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

"It seems like he came here during one of the fusion stories."

The writer was talking to himself, and then he felt a chill on his body; he looked down and saw a group of alpacas galloping past.

"Is this guy playing Terminator with me?"
