Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 530: Thoughts during the Rewriting Process

The communication with God ended in an atmosphere of reminiscing about the past. Lin You did not return to the big world, but stayed in the Garden of Eden and waited patiently for the plan to start; however, the news from the Forest Manor could still be heard by the angel.

There was no doubt about Rose Walker except for the "message" implanted by Lucifer in advance; naturally, Heaven no longer cared about this girl. Even the little phoenix Phoenix was spared because of this. As long as he did not leave the gate of Forest Manor, the angels would not bother to pay attention to this stupid bird listed among the 72 pillars of the devil.

As for Rose Walker being forced to be involved in the internal disputes of the Endless Family because of her identity as a "Dream Vortex", in Lin You's eyes, it is not worth caring about at all; the Endless Family will become puppets of the gods in a few days, so why is it worth paying too much attention to?

Those "internal family disputes" can only be viewed as soap operas to be watched after dinner.

I have to say that comparing it to a soap opera is apt; the "plot" created by those problem children of the Endless family is indeed both brainless and bloody.

The truth hidden in Rose's "Dream Vortex" is actually very simple: her great-grandmother Unity Kincaid, who has been lying in her sleep for decades, is the real "Dream Vortex"; in order to harm his brother, the Sleepyhead's younger brother "Desire" raped Unity while she was asleep, made her pregnant and gave birth to a child, and also transferred the identity of the "Dream Vortex" to her descendant Rose Walker through heredity.

In other words, Desire is Rose's great-grandfather. According to the order of age of the seven brothers and sisters in the Endless Family, Rose should call the Sleep Demon her Third Great Grandfather...

Why did Desire do such a despicable thing as raping a woman? Because there is an unwritten rule within the Endless Family, which is the one that Morpheus once mentioned to Lin You: "Family members shall not kill each other."

In order to balance dreams and reality, the Sandman must kill every "Dream Vortex". If the identity of the "Dream Vortex" remained with Unity Kincaid, the Sandman would have killed her without causing any harm. However, after Desire's despicable manipulation, Rose, who has the bloodline of the Endless family, inherited the identity and ability of the "Dream Vortex".

If the Sleepy Demon attempts to kill Dream Vortex at this time, he will inevitably violate the iron rule that "family members shall not kill each other" - and in a way that leaves no room for maneuver or excuse.

By that time, both the other family members and the Sandman's own self-awareness would have to accept the severe punishment that would come with it, which is death.

Fortunately, Morpheus had a good subordinate who promptly found out the relationship between Unity and "desire". At the same time, Unity took the initiative to take back the power of the "Dream Vortex" and died instead of his great-granddaughter. This indirectly prevented Morpheus from committing the crime of parricide, thus allowing him to avoid the punishment of death.

After learning about the progress of the incident and all the causes and consequences through the angel's retelling, Lin You could only say that he was greatly shocked.

If the "Dream Vortex" and the King of Dreams were to perish together, the dream kingdom would lose order, and the result of interweaving with reality would inevitably lead to chaos; and the cause of everything was just a naughty child who was jealous of his brother.

"It's better for these brothers and dear friends to become puppets as soon as possible, so as to avoid causing harm to the world." This was the comment made by the writer after being shocked. "Since the truth of the dream vortex has been revealed, it means that the main story of the Endless Family has ended? Can we start the plan next?"

God gave a positive answer to the writer's question.

The first step of the rewrite began immediately; Lin You picked up the pen and wrote the first sentence: "The origin and exact nature of 'Endless' are unknown."

This one sentence directly denied the connection between the Endless Family and the DC world, and was equivalent to severing the relationship between the seven of them and the God of the DC world.

I don’t know if it’s because it involves God, but the impact of this sentence clearly exceeded the writer’s expectations; when he put down the last stroke, Lin You’s mind suddenly became dazed without any warning.

It took him some time to calm down, and the quill pen fell again after a long interval; the content written at this time expanded and explained the first sentence. "No one in the world can give the exact reason for the existence of 'Endless', and there can't even be a hint of this in the human context. Only the gods know vaguely, and more hints that their birth is purely due to natural processes.

There are also very few gods who say directly that the Endless Family are the children of Time and Night - such arguments may only be correct in an abstract sense. "

Having written this, Lin You stopped writing again and took a short break. Ever since he decided to stand on the side of the gods and rewrite the identity of the Endless family, he has been collecting information about them. As a result, he found that many of the concepts and definitions of the original comics can actually be used as reference.

For example, the two paragraphs above are actually the characterization of the Endless Family by the original comic author, which was borrowed by the writer with a slight modification. The difference is that the "world" in the comic is the DC world, while the "world" written by the writer is replaced by the big world.

The wording is the same, but the meaning is very different. These two paragraphs were written to pave the way for the Endless Family to be rewritten as the native gods of the Great World.

What follows is a description of some details; just like when creating characters in novels and dramas, in addition to the general background description, some more subtle and in-depth details must be added to create a more three-dimensional character.

For the author, the most crucial detail about the character is "fate". The reason is that he does not want one or three female branch gods.

Through the endless family information provided by God, Lin You already knows that "Fate" among the seven siblings actually has two different images in comics and film and television dramas.

The "Fate" in the comics is an image of a middle-aged and elderly blind man, but in the latest film and television dramas, in order to cater to the legend of the "Three Sisters of Fate" familiar to the West, it has been changed to three female images.

What the writer has to do is to restore "fate" to its "original appearance". What's wrong with a wise, calm and indifferent old man? Why must he turn it into a female image that is a combination of old, middle-aged and young?
Since the Endless Family wants to break away from the shackles of the old pantheon and transform into the native indigenous gods of the big world, the new god and new atmosphere will naturally require an image that is different from the three sisters of fate.

Lin You's concern about "fate" is not only due to the psychological discomfort caused by gender change, but also most importantly because he wants to control the "divine power of fate".

Although the particularity of the virtual dimension has caused the destiny of the entire dimension to shrink infinitely, Lin You has reason to believe that after reintegration, the "destiny" that combines the power of the big world and the setting of the DC story will show a different style.

After all, according to the original setting of the comics, "destiny" was born before the universe appeared; it can even be said that the "birth of the universe" itself is a predetermined destiny, and the entire birth process is under the control of "destiny".

If "the birth of the universe" is replaced with "the birth of the big world", it can be said that it fits perfectly with the history of Lin You himself as the author who participated in the shaping of the big world framework. In this way, the divine power of destiny has an absolute influence on the big world in concept.

Even if the conceptual power may not necessarily play a practical role, it does not prevent the author from taking advantage of the opportunity.

To put it simply, it means "try your best first, whether there are any or not."

Of course, Lin You can do this little idea first, and there is no need to rush to speak it out. (End of this chapter)
