Chapter 294 Being a Trojan Prince is Not That Easy
Lin You had long been thinking about raising his status and voice in the Great World Project. Although he rarely revealed this idea to others, he had been working hard for it.

As a visitor from the real dimension, he does not have the innate strength of the gods; although he has the exclusive ability to use the "real factor" and the "quill pen", there is no guarantee that there will not be another time traveler competing with him in the future. It is not realistic to rely on hard power to gain a higher status and voice for the time being; he can only find another way.

Mediator or referee, this is the plan that Lin You made for himself. It is another job besides being a writer that can give him certain power.

Just like the Trojan prince Paris in the "Golden Apple Controversy", as a mortal, he actually obtained the power to judge the beauty of the goddess, and even made the three gods compete to bribe him. Although this power brought a series of disasters to Paris's country, he did get the reward he wanted from the gods.

What Lin You wants is the same power of adjudication as Paris; and he also hopes to make this power of adjudication long-term and institutionalized.

Of course, in order not to repeat Paris's mistakes, certain skills are needed when exercising judicial power. One cannot accept bribes as bluntly as that foolish boy. The result of abusing power for personal gain is to bring disaster upon oneself and lead to the destruction of the country and the family.

But it is not easy to obtain the right to judge. In the myth, Paris's right to judge was granted by the king of gods Zeus; now, all the gods in the world have gathered together, and if you want to obtain the right to judge, you must obtain the approval of more gods. God is the most important link.

So, after Lin You put forward his suggestion, he waited for the other party's response half expectantly and half nervously.

The owner of the Garden of Eden looked normal, as if he had heard a very common sentence. He asked, "I know you have had this idea for a long time. But do you think it is time to fight for this position?"

"The conflict between Mount Olympus and the Pantheon has lasted too long and has delayed too many things; the patience of the gods will not be unlimited." Lin You gave his own thoughts.

"Don't underestimate the patience of the gods." God reminded, "Since the birth of the gods, the shortest existence has been thousands of years. The long time has given them enough patience. We cannot judge them by human standards."

"The quarrel between Zeus and Jupiter is almost endless, can everyone still tolerate it?" Lin You disagreed.

“Why not?” God asked with a smile, “Although the quarrel between the two pantheons delayed many things, for other pantheons, this loss of time is indirect and not noticeable. After all, the big world is still constantly integrating new stories.”

Lin You sneered, “But most of the stories that are integrated now are based on real-life backgrounds. At most, they have some seemingly plausible magical elements like in Red Dead Redemption, and the number is extremely small. After being integrated, these stories can strengthen the big world, but they have almost no effect on strengthening the power of the gods.”

God spread his hands and said, "Of course the gods know this; that's why I say they have patience that mortals can't match. Compared to a lifespan of thousands of years, what's the big deal about wasting a year or two? And after the Great World Plan was consolidated, their lifespans were significantly increased, so they are even less anxious."

"You make it sound like I'm trapped in my own trap." Lin You sighed, "Now that I think about it, it was better when I first came to the Unreal Dimension! Your first Grand World Plan failed, and the gods were eager to promote the second Grand World Plan; the work efficiency back then was different from now."

"So, if you want to get the gods to agree to your plan, you have to find another reason that they have to pay attention to and be anxious about." God's face, which resembled Morgan Freeman, was slightly smiling; his dark complexion contrasted with his graying hair, revealing a profound meaning that was difficult to distinguish between black and white. Lin You suddenly became alert, and his face remained expressionless. He asked calmly but curiously, "What's the reason? Can you give me a suggestion?"

"Aren't you already doing that?" God said, "actively creating the unknown."

Lin You was shocked; after listening to Odym's reminder, he deliberately postponed the creation of "Unknown" to see how the gods would react. Now he finally got God's reaction, but he didn't expect that "Unknown" would be related to the dispute between Zeus and Jupiter.

"I know that the 'unknown' can increase the authenticity of the big world and further strengthen the stability of the big world. I also know that it is extremely special in nature. But I didn't know it would be so important that it could actually influence the attitudes of the gods?" Lin You carefully considered his words.

“How can it not be important?” God said calmly, no longer as excited as when he first discovered the unknown, but still couldn’t hide his joy when he mentioned the “unknown”; “This is the first step from nothing to something, from virtual to real! Without this step, no matter how many stories we integrate into it, it can only delay the destruction of the virtual world, but cannot fundamentally solve the crisis.

Because no matter how many stories there are, they are all created by humans. When the human civilization in the real dimension is destroyed, we are destined to be destroyed as well.

Only by taking this step can we open up a new path that is not affected by the changes in human civilization in the real dimension; only then can we truly have a chance to escape the crisis of destruction that has been hanging over our heads for a long time. "

Lin You roughly understood what God meant by this. The gods may not care about the slowdown in the integration of stories, because there is no fundamental difference between one more story and one less story in the big world; but they will never tolerate anyone destroying the birth of the "unknown", because every "unknown" means that the big world is one step closer to a real rebirth.

In terms of the reality dimension, integrating stories is an important interest. Although it is important, it is not irreplaceable when necessary; and the "unknown" is a fundamental interest that cannot be given up at any time.

No matter if it is a man or a god, a country or an individual, if their fundamental interests are touched, they will risk their lives.

However, Lin You was still a little worried and asked, "Even if the 'Unknown' is indeed important, how can it be linked to the quarrel between Zeus and Jupiter? How can the gods be convinced that the quarrel between Zeus and Jupiter will destroy the formation of the 'Unknown'?"

"There is no need to identify it, because that is the fact; we just need to state the fact." God said solemnly, "From the perspective of the 'unknown' that has already appeared, its formation requires different characters in different stories to break through the established story framework and create intersections that did not originally exist. So, in theory, the more stories are integrated, the greater the probability of producing 'unknown'..."

Lin You understood the meaning of the music and immediately picked up on God's words, saying, "But the quarrel between Zeus and Jupiter has greatly slowed down the speed of our story integration, and indirectly reduced the probability of the birth of the 'unknown'."
