Falsifying history is good business

When Lin You heard his identity being exposed, there was no trace of strangeness on his face; this calm attitude instead attracted God's admiration.

"You don't seem surprised?"

Lin You spread his hands and said, "It's only a matter of time. Patrick Morgan could guess it, so how could you not guess it? The one who knows you best is your enemy, but that doesn't mean you only have enemies."

God laughed in silence, as if jokingly, but also as if asking with deep meaning: "You didn't kill Patrick Morgan for this reason? To silence him?"

"You can't say that casually. It was you who insisted that I go into the time restricted zone to hunt down the God of Truth. Not only you, but also Chronos." Lin You defended himself seriously.

"It is indeed our request, but this request does not conflict with your deliberate silencing of witnesses and your efforts to obtain the God of War status for your woman."

"I only admit that I intentionally sought the godhood of war for Diana." Lin You made a fuss about something for which there was no evidence.

"It's not too much to want to seek something, even becoming a native god is not a big deal; your sister has also changed her identity, and the gods don't see her as an enemy." God reminded him obscurely, "The problem is that you can't hide it; just like you can kill Patrick Morgan, but you can't kill him to silence him."

Lin You emphasized once again: "The only reason I killed the God of Truth was because He refused to be arrested, was determined to destroy the Great World Plan, and showed no remorse."

"Words alone cannot allay the concerns of the gods."

"So, I must join your plan and stand on your side firmly and thoroughly, right?" Lin You asked.

"You were originally on our side, weren't you?" God asked back.

"Of course." Lin You answered firmly, "A destiny divine right that has completely declined in the virtual dimension, compared to the rights of the author with a bright future, I know very well what I should choose."

God smiled and said, "I can hear your dissatisfaction, Bryce. There is no need for this. We have always cooperated happily. This conversation is not a coercion, but just a 'notification'; just like every time in the past I notified you to perform your duties and modify the worldview logic to promote world integration - this mission is not fundamentally different."

"In the past, we modified the worldviews of other worlds so that they could integrate into the big world; this time, we modify the worldview of the big world so that it can make changes that meet the wishes of the gods?" Lin You has his own summary of this task, and it has been recognized by God.

"That's true, Bryce. But other than that, everything else can remain the same; for example, just like every mission in the past, you always wanted to get something for yourself... What do you want this time?"

Lin You raised his eyebrows and asked disapprovingly: "It seems that this question should not be asked in this way, as if I really have the right to choose. I should change the angle and ask you: What are you willing to give me this time?"

This may be a rare opportunity for the author to regain the initiative in the conversation since they met.

God couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you say that? I have promised you full choice every time in the past."

"But this time it's different." Lin You exposed the false appearance without hesitation, "The seven concepts represented by the Endless Family, including the seven contradictory opposites that are opposite and unified with them, cover most of the philosophical logic of the existence and operation of the universe and life; once the plan is completed, they will become the existence second only to the Supreme God. The gods have paid so much for the benefits of theocracy. If I take one more point, they will have to pay one more point; I don't think they can be very generous."

As the writer was talking, God kept smiling and finally praised: "You are as sharp as ever, Bryce. Indeed, although the gods agreed to my plan, they will not give more. You can only choose what they have decided to take out." "Isn't it obvious what I can choose?" Lin You sneered, "Besides 'fate', what else can I choose? The question is, how much of the power of 'fate' can I get?"

"Why not all of them?" God asked back with a smile, an unfathomable smile on his face, as if he was laughing at Lin You's 'cowardice', laughing at the fact that he didn't even dare to ask for or even think about the benefits.

Lin You understood God's micro-expression, but was not fooled; he questioned: "The destiny of each pantheon has shrunk beyond recognition since the day when the truth of the dimension was revealed; there is not much to begin with, how much can I and the three sisters of 'Destiny' of the Endless Family get if we divide it?"

"It's precisely because we haven't separated much that I said I'll give it all to you." God still had a smile on his face, but what he said didn't sound like a joke.

Lin You couldn't help but become suspicious: "Will the 'Fate' in the Endless Family be willing to do this?"

"Who said we should ask for their opinions?" God said domineeringly. "Although the Endless Family can obtain divine power close to the Supreme God after concentrating the power of the gods, it is impossible for these divine powers to be completely controlled by them. How can you think that the gods want a group of independent Supreme Gods to appear in the world? The ultimate outcome of the Endless Family is nothing more than changing from the embodiment of concepts to the puppets of concepts. Their every move and every time they use the power of concepts will be watched by the gods."

Lin You suddenly realized: "Just like the quill pen in my hand, the gods have given it power, but it is always under surveillance; every time I start writing, it will be stared at by countless eyes, and I can't make a mistake in every stroke?"

"Of course; we've already practiced it once with the Quill Pen, and now we're just repeating it with the Endless Family and the deprivation of the will of the Great World. The same thing always feels easier the second time, doesn't it?"

"Heh... So this is the complete picture of the whole plan; to erode the divine power of the will of the great world through a group of puppets. On the surface, the Endless Family has replaced part of the power of the will of the great world, but in fact, this part of the power is in the hands of the gods." Lin You shook his head and sneered.

God's reaction seemed natural: "As the supreme god of the natives, the power in the hands of the Great World Will is too great, and it can even independently affect the life and death of the Great World. How can we be assured that such a great power is not in our own hands? No matter what, the Great World Plan was proposed, promoted and implemented by us. How can we allow the fruits of our hard work to be easily handed over to others to decide life and death?"

Lin You couldn't help but sneer: "Hearing you put it that way, your distrust of the indigenous gods does seem to be justified."

"You are different, Bryce; including your sister Minerva, you are all different." God comforted him, "Neither of you can be considered true native gods, but you joined this group later by changing your identities. Strictly speaking, both of you are ours; even this time, the plan to promote the Endless Family's replacement was formulated with reference to the process of you and your sister changing their identities."

"I'm flattered by what you said."

"So, do you choose to accept our conditions?"

"I only have one question left now; the Endless Family has become a puppet of concepts, and if I accept the power of 'Destiny', will I also become a puppet named 'Destiny'?" Lin You asked seriously.

"Of course not. We still need you to use the quill pen to control the real factor! Turning you into a puppet would be a loss of the greater good." God flatly denied the writer's guess, "The real puppet is the 'fate' of the Endless Family, not you."

"In other words, 'Destiny' cannot enjoy any benefits, but must bear the consequences?"

"Yes, so what? Didn't I say that they have no right to choose in this matter? The power of fate will be transferred to you, and the "fate" of the Endless Family will become your incarnation as a branch god." Looking at the writer's slightly stunned expression, God nodded firmly, "Yes, you heard it right; with your status, you are officially included in the ranks of gods, isn't it normal to have a branch god? You see, we have always been generous enough to our own people; I believe that the will of the great world cannot give you so many benefits." (End of this chapter)
