Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 54 The Special World of Pirates of the Caribbean
The Great World ushered in the New Year's Day of 1992. While the nations were looking forward to a new world without the powerful polar bears, the gods also began to look forward to a new world integration plan.

It was also on this day that Lin You, who was summoned to the Garden of Eden, saw a "bustling" scene similar to that of a vegetable market.

The representatives of the three major pantheons surrounded Chronos, including Odin, the king of the Norse pantheon, Quetzalcoatl, the Indian pantheon, and Dagda, the father of all gods in Celtic mythology. However, Chronos, who was alone against three, was fierce and refused to give in.

When Quetzalcoatl transformed into a human form, his body was still covered with long bird feathers of different colors such as green, white, blue, and gold. At this moment, in order to overwhelm Chronos with his momentum, all the feathers on his body were spread out and stood up, as if a bird was about to attack.

When the representative of the three major Indian pantheons spoke, his voice was like the cry of an eagle in the sky: "Where do the stories of Pirates of the Caribbean take place? As the names of the stories suggest, they take place in the hometown of the feathered serpent, in the traditional sphere of influence of the Indian pantheon."

Chronos, his hair and beard all standing up, retorted in an equally loud voice: "In the entire story, there is no clear mention of the Indian pantheon, nor is there any mention of the name of any Indian god."

Dagda has a huge beer belly, and his face, which used to be full of smiles, is now wooden and serious, no longer the simple and honest expression of the past; his voice is deep and deep: "In the fourth movie, the plot of using the silver holy grail to drink from the fountain of youth is a reference to the story of King Arthur's Holy Grail; there is no doubt that the Celtic mythology system accounts for a large part of the content of this part of the story."

Chronos' nose almost touched Dagda's face. "Why don't you say that the prototype of the Holy Grail comes from Christianity? Mermaids also appear in the fourth movie. There are mermaids in Olympus and Northern Europe. Can we say that this story belongs to us just based on this detail?"

Odin was also roaring at the same time, his voice as harsh as thunder: "There are not only mermaids in that world, but also the Kraken, a giant monster in the North Sea. It is a real creature in Norse mythology. Therefore, whether it is the end of the world where the protagonist goes after being swallowed by the Kraken, or the hell where Davy Jones sends the dead souls at sea, it should refer to the Nine Realms, or more precisely, the hell in the Nine Realms."

Chronos' voice could almost drown out the loudest thunder: "Everyone knows that Davy Jones's earliest mission was received from Calypso, the daughter of the Titans. No matter what identity He chooses in the future, at the beginning of the story, He is a part of Olympus."

When Lin You walked in, he saw this tense and fierce quarrel.

The four gods did not speak one after another, but spoke almost at the same time. The amazing thing was that every word they said could be heard clearly by the other gods or people present, and there was no sense of confusion at all.

It's just that the four sounds overlapped together, so Lin You could no longer hear any other sounds.

The writer resisted the urge to cover his ears, quickly slipped past the quarrelers, and came to God's side, mumbling to himself, "How come a few grown men are quarreling face to face, but they just don't fight?!"

"Maybe they are all waiting for someone they are sure they can beat." God rolled his eyes, very dissatisfied with the writer's gloating. "You better be careful. The more they quarrel, the bigger the trouble you will get into."

"What does it have to do with me?" Lin You said innocently, "I don't even know why they quarreled."

"Of course, it's to grab the biggest benefits after the fusion of the Pirates of the Caribbean world." God looked at Lin You with a bit of pity in his deep eyes, "No matter what agreement they reach after the quarrel, the final executor is you."

The writer felt as if he had swallowed a weight raw. His heart was filled with blockage and heaviness, and his original mood of gloating was completely wiped out.

When you're working on a project, there are a bunch of "mother-in-laws" on the client's side giving you suggestions, and they require that every suggestion must be implemented and reflected in the final plan - regardless of whether these requirements contradict each other or not.

"Can I ask why?" Lin You wanted to cry but had no tears. "In any previous story, no matter what god system it was, after the fusion, everyone returned to their respective positions, and whoever's god belonged to that family would take the god back. Why did they quarrel this time?"

God glanced at the writer with a slightly puzzled look: "You've never paid attention to the world of Pirates of the Caribbean before?"

"I have always believed that there is nothing wrong with that world. Although there are many magical contents, it can be completely absorbed and integrated into the mythology and magic system of the big world. It should be a world close to the standard of 'harmless'. Isn't it right?" Lin You's tone was full of self-doubt and uncertainty. God sighed and said, "Of course not. If you really thought so before and didn't make any preparations for this world, then you are in big trouble."

"Well, why don't you just tell me how big this trouble is?" Lin You gave up struggling.

"The biggest trouble is that there is no known pantheon in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean; this is the source of all problems." God's first sentence left the writer puzzled.

"Are you kidding me?" Lin You countered, counting on his fingers. "Calypso is the daughter of the Titan god in the Olympian pantheon. Kraken is the North Sea monster from Norse mythology. Not to mention the trident of Poseidon that appeared at the end. And you tell me that there is no pantheon in that world?"

"I have reminded you more than once that the so-called 'reality' of the story world is not determined by the details of the story itself, but by the humans who have read this story in the real dimension." God was helpless and a little disappointed.

"Then I have to thank you for reminding me again." Lin You said unhappily, "Then tell me why the people in the real dimension - that is, the audience who have watched the movie - think that there are no gods in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean?"

"It's not that there are no gods, but there is no complete pantheon." God explained, "You just came back from the mummy world, you should remember that the original plot of that story never let the real gods show up; but relying on the endless Anubis army and the Amshe Oasis that changed overnight, the audience was planted with the idea that 'God does exist'.

Now think about it the other way around. Did the story of Pirates of the Caribbean plant the same 'seed' in the audience's mind?"

Lin You was stunned for a long time. The story of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a real big-protagonist script. The biggest and most core attraction of the entire series is built on several unique characters, especially the "Captain Sparrow" who is both good and evil and can attract both men and women.

So... for the audience, the presence of God is indeed suppressed to an extremely low level throughout the story.

Those occasional fragments related to gods are hard to tell whether they are real gods or fabricated maritime legends - just like the urban legends in big cities that are equally difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Lin You finally thought of a clear counterexample: "That Calypso..."

"Yes, Calypso." God asked back, "If you were a viewer, what would you think when you saw the scene in which He turned into a group of crabs at the end? Would you regard Him as a true god of a complete pantheon, or as a false god who came out of nowhere?"

“Hmm…” Lin You couldn’t really say that he was confused when he first saw this scene.

Which kind of gods could be transformed from a group of crabs?
Is it the lake god of Yangcheng Lake?
