Falsifying history is good business

On the surface, the conversation between the Sandman and the writer was a showdown, but in reality, both parties had hidden cards in their hands and had not yet played them, and both parties also guessed that the other party had cards in their hands that had not yet been played. The current verbal battles and exchanges were, in the final analysis, all aimed at revealing the other party's cards first.

From this perspective, Lin You has the upper hand in the negotiation; he has seen through God's trump card and guessed the other party's next move. However, the upper hand in the negotiation does not mean the upper hand in strength.

To use an inappropriate analogy, does anyone think that a man as smart as Li Hongzhang would not know how to negotiate? But during the armistice negotiations of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, when he faced the treaty text thrown by the Japanese and the phrase "it's just a matter of signing or not signing", did he have room to resist?
The same is true for Lin You. Even if he saw through God's plan, God did not think he had any room to resist. At this moment, God also took the same attitude as Li Hongzhang did with the Japanese, saying the same words through the mouth of the "negotiator".

"No matter how much we talk, it all comes down to one question: Are you on my side, or on the side of the gods?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Lin You said carelessly.

"So you want to stand on the side of the gods?" God is well aware of the truth that "loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty"; facing the situation where the gods themselves are in danger, they are still unwilling to stand on the side of the Garden of Eden. The author's true thoughts are self-evident.

"You can live in the Garden of Eden and think about it slowly." The sleep demon stood up; with his movement, the universe and the stars under his feet suddenly shifted. But just as this space was about to be transferred to the Garden of Eden, the writer opposite also stood up and took exactly one step back.

With one light step, he left the space controlled by the sleep demon and returned to the Lux Bar in Los Angeles. Because of this light step, the author's legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he subconsciously leaned on the sofa next to him to avoid an embarrassing ending.

It is not easy to escape from the spatial blockade of a Supreme God, even if the other party's attention is not entirely on you.

However, this kind of escape is obviously unsustainable, and it cannot even be considered a complete escape; because sleepiness and desire followed closely, still blocking all of Lin You's retreat routes.

"You should be thankful that Death, Despair and Delirium each have their own tasks and are not here; otherwise you would have suffered greatly from what you just did." The Sleepy Demon had a blank expression on his face, and was even about to initiate a second space teleportation while speaking. He would not stop until he had sent the writer to the Garden of Eden for house arrest.

This time, the writer was already at the end of his rope and had no power to resist. But something unexpected happened again, the Sandman's space teleportation failed to start successfully; the space of this small bar suddenly became extremely solid, like a big tree taking root and difficult to shake.

"The will of the great world is also helping you?" The Sleep Demon understood the root of the problem in an instant, but he didn't care. "Unbelievable! You are also the main beneficiary of the division of His divine power, and you have reconciled with Him so quickly?"

"Choose the lesser of two evils! It seems there is one more stubborn person who is rebelling against the Garden of Eden." Lin You forced a smile on his face, but his mind was more focused on the quill pen deep in his soul; it was a tool that helped him to go deep into the bottom of the world and communicate with the will of the big world and the logic of the bottom worldview.

Although God has blocked the "writing function" of the quill pen, as long as the pen holder still has the quill pen, he can continue to use it to communicate deeply with the world. It is through timely communication that the pen holder can gain the understanding and help of the world's will.

"What do you think the will of the great world can do for you? A lonely supreme god who has been deprived of his semi-divine power, his resistance is far inferior to that of Olympus or the Nine Realms. After all, those mythological systems are supported by a huge number of gods." The Sleep Demon didn't care and continued to exert force to shake this small space, wrestling head-on with the will of the great world;

"It's hard for me to understand why the will of the great world would bet on you? It's only been a few months since His last failure. Is He so eager to face another failure?"

The gaps in space around proved what the sleep demon said, that the resistance of the will of the big world could not last long; when the gaps in space continued to extend and completely split the space where the bar was located, the writer still could not escape the fate of being locked in the Garden of Eden.

Lin You was not panicked at all, and even had the energy to sneer. However, the smile on his face could not hide his increasingly weak mental state.

"Perhaps it was because of the failure last time that made Him eager for revenge; or maybe I have a trump card in my hand that makes Him believe that there is a chance to turn defeat into victory; no matter which reason, the will of the great world has placed the chips on my side. You see, I am better than you in convincing others to take sides. The trick of 'believe in me and you will be rewarded, and disbelieve in me and I will punish you' in the Bible is only useful when facing humans who have no resistance."

The Sleepy Demon's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he was not indifferent to Lin You's words; in the previous conversation, the writer had revealed almost all of God's hidden cards, while at the same time appearing quite relaxed and complacent, which made people wonder if he also had some countermeasures hidden in secret.

"What cards do you have?"

"If you want to know, stop first! When it comes to negotiations, you can fight and talk, but you definitely can't do both. If you want to talk, you have to show some sincerity." Lin You spoke tough, but his physical and mental weakness could not be concealed. He could still stand by holding on to the wall before, but now he could only slump on the sofa. Not only was his breath weak, but even his eyes were a little dazed.

With such performance, how could the Sleep Demon give him a chance to breathe? The battle of divine power at the spatial level not only did not ease, but became more intense.

"If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to, you won't eat it even if you say it when you get to the Garden of Eden. Even if you join forces with the will of the great world, how long can you resist?"

"I don't want to listen... forget it." Lin You leaned back, his head drooped, his eyes closed and he said nothing. He looked tired and drowsy.

Through the eyes of sleepiness, God watched the writer's every move, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart; the writer's performance at this moment seemed a bit hypocritical to Him, and even compared with the hard power of the two parties, it looked like a bluff when he was at his wits' end.

But for some reason, that sense of uneasiness always lingers in my heart.

Before He could figure it out, the whole world changed. (End of this chapter)
