Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 71 Most of the Sailors Are Illiterate

In the Garden of Eden in the big world, there is a huge "sand box".

There are no conventional oceans, land, mountains or rivers on the sand table. Instead, there is an empty black night sky; countless yellow fluorescent groups of all sizes are floating in the night sky.

Each fluorescent group contains a small world, or in other words, a projection of a small world on the "sand table".

These "small worlds" come in all shapes and sizes. Some are just a planet or even a continent, while others are the entire universe or even the multiverse.

When Lin You first arrived in the virtual dimension, God took him to visit this sandbox.

At that time, God randomly pointed to a few balls of light that were relatively close to Lin You and said, "That is the mythological world of Olympus. The one next to it is the mythological world of Ancient Egypt. There is also the world of Grimm's fairy tales and the world of Andersen's fairy tales. Look at that one, that is the recently formed world of A Song of Ice and Fire. This world is still very small, with only an ocean and a few pieces of land, mainly Westeros."

Some of the small worlds that he introduced himself have become the framework of the big world, while others were integrated into the big world later.

However, more than a year later, there are still a large number of independent small worlds floating on the sandbox.

This "sandbox" was created by the gods to promote the Great World Plan, to monitor and observe all the stories that they have chosen to be integrated into the Great World. It is a unique artifact in the Unreal Dimension that is matched with the quill pen.

The fact that the "sand table" was placed in the Garden of Eden is enough to show God's special status in the pantheon.

There is a simple data that can explain everything: in 2022, the number of Christian believers in the real dimension reached 24 billion, far ahead of other religions.

More importantly, in an era when Christian civilization dominates the mainstream values ​​of humanity, the stories they created have also become the mainstream of world culture, with influence spreading across the globe.

As we all know, whether the story world of the virtual dimension can take shape is determined by its influence on the human world.

Even in realistic stories that do not involve mythology or gods, the protagonists and supporting characters in the plot will inevitably say "God bless you" a few times.

This is the influence; it is also why the "sand table" was placed in the Garden of Eden and why God became the daily manager of the "Great World Plan". Whenever a new integration plan was launched, the gods always gathered in the Garden of Eden.

Even though another major religion second only to Christianity is also involved in the great world plan, that god rarely appears here - even though he and God came from the same source thousands of years ago.

At this moment, God was standing at the place where he had explained the "sand table" and "big world plan" to Lin You, staring at the light projection of the Pirates of the Caribbean world with a solemn expression.

Chronos had ended his quarrel with the representatives of the other three myths, and after dividing the spoils, they gathered around the "sand table".

God's expression softened slightly, and he said to the gods in a relaxed manner, "Done? That's great. The writer has almost finished talking to Calypso. I think we can push the Pirates of the Caribbean story onto a fusion track soon."

Upon hearing the name "Calypso", Chronos's face suddenly turned dark; while Odin, Dagda, and Quetzalcoatl looked around and pretended not to hear, but each of them deliberately let people see the smiles they were suppressing on their faces.

They are all the main gods of one side, and they are unscrupulous when showing the "evil" side of human nature. When the gods are uneasy because of anger or gloating, they pay attention to God's every move, but ignore the writer who maintains a single line of communication with God.

Even Lin You's treasure hunt was attributed to Calypso's harsh conditions, and no further investigation was conducted. Therefore, they did not pay much attention to the brief "loss of contact" when Lin You was trapped in Poseidon's tomb.

What could happen in a small world that doesn’t even have a complete pantheon?

The eyes of the gods were all focused on the cabin; at this time, the conversation between the writer and Calypso was coming to an end, and the topic of "Moirai" had long passed.

The two parties have already agreed on the rewriting plan, and Lin You also took out a quill pen and started writing.

"In an era when information exchange is not smooth, deeds will evolve into stories, stories will evolve into rumors and legends, and eventually they will completely deviate from the truth under the fabrication of ignorant people. The pirates' legend about the sea goddess Calypso has gone through this process."

"It is difficult to know the exact name of the god, so a few people who claim to be 'cultured' have made up stories and named the newborn goddess of the Caribbean Sea as the ancient Titan god, completely unaware of the far-fetched nature of their story, which ultimately made them a laughing stock."

"Similarly, there are Poseidon and Kraken, gods and demons that have never been to this sea area. Their names have been abused by half-knowledgeable sailors, but the truth and source of the facts have been covered up."

At this point, the name "Calypso" is basically defined as a product of ignorance of Caribbean sailors, which was artificially fabricated and attached to the Olympus mythology. Even the tomb of Poseidon has become a false product.

As long as the golden light falls, the two biggest ties between the Olympus mythology and the world of Pirates of the Caribbean will basically be severed.

Lin You put down his quill, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Calypso, "As we agreed, your duties and responsibilities cannot extend beyond the Caribbean and South American coastal waters, because this is the only sea that other sea gods in classical mythology have never touched."

Calypso nodded slightly, "Of course, I can assure you once again that I fully accept this."

"Have you decided what your name will be after you change your priesthood?" Lin You asked again, "You definitely can't use the name Calypso. You are different from Athena. She didn't reject her origin in the Olympian pantheon, but you are completely betraying her. Mount Olympus will not allow two Calypsos to appear."

Calypso thought for a moment and made a decision almost immediately: "Let's call her Tia. This name has been with me for hundreds of years, and I'm a little used to it."

"Of course, as you wish." The writer had no objection; this matter was just like registering the name of a newborn baby with the civil affairs department. As long as it did not violate the law, you could use whatever name you wanted. Even if you regretted it in the future, it was none of my business.

The tip of the quill moved, and new golden words fell one by one: "The goddess of the sea, Theia, is a god that people came into contact with only after a large number of sailors arrived in the Caribbean Sea. No one knows her origins, but one day, sailors will chant her name, praise her majesty, and pray for her protection."

“Pirates in particular had the deepest bond with him; it was also pirates who spread his stories and worship of him around the world.”

After putting down the last stroke, Lin You, regardless of his mental exhaustion, could not wait to push the golden words into the depths of the world.
