After returning from a business trip, he had to report to his boss and handle the handover. Lin You stayed at home for two days and finally, reluctantly, took the "Hourglass of Time" to the Garden of Eden.

The God of Truth is dead, even his godhood has been "swallowed" by Diana, needless to say; the four main gods of Northern Europe are also handled by the bosses, without the need for the writer to intervene. After searching for a long time, only the "Sand of Time" needs to be handed over.

After all, these are the raw materials for making the "Time Forbidden Zone". Although there is not much left, it is still worth being vigilant.

“Is this all that’s left?” Chronos was very disappointed; as the God of Time, He had great interest in the “Sand of Time”.

"These are all that are left. The rest was 'eaten' by me; well, I guess I can use the word 'eaten' to describe it." Lin You openly admitted the benefits he had obtained.

These supreme gods all knew the author's style of doing things. No one would believe that Lin You did not get any benefits from this trip to the time restricted zone. The problem was that they could not bring out the real benefits, so they had to use the insignificant "Sand of Time" as an excuse.

In essence, it is using a small flaw to cover up a big problem, and using a small mistake to cover up a big problem.

As expected, Chronos' attention was drawn to the over-consumed "Sand of Time". He turned the "Hourglass of Time" over and over again, muttering, "What a pity, it's less than a quarter of the original amount."

"Why are you interested in it? You are the God of Time. Your control over time is much better than that of the so-called Queen of Time?" Lin You pretended to be puzzled.

Chronos shook his head and sighed, "You don't understand. Simply materializing the concept of time is actually nothing special. I can do it, too. But when matter is recognized by the will of the great universe, it becomes extraordinary. What keeps us out of the time forbidden zone is never the 'Sands of Time', but the 'Sands of Time' recognized by the will of the great universe. The two have the same name, but completely different properties."

"According to you, the time of the big world and the time of the virtual dimension are not the same thing? Then when you have thoroughly studied the 'Sand of Time', you will not only be the God of Time of Olympus, but also the God of Time of the Big World?" Lin You raised the question seemingly unintentionally.

The God just walked over with a smile on his face, as if he was also waiting for Chronos' answer.

The God of Time seemed unaware and continued, "The God of Time in the Big World is only the Will of the Big World itself. Since He awakened, many things have changed. When the stories were merged in the past, no matter which era the stories were in, I could easily take you back after the fusion was over. Now it's different. Not only is time travel much more difficult than in the past, but if I encounter a situation like the Time Forbidden Zone again, I will be powerless."

"However, the study of 'Sands of Time' can help us gain more initiative when facing the will of the greater world;" God explained at the right time, as if to supplement the answer of the God of Time, "No one wants something like the Time Forbidden Zone to happen again."

"The will of the great world certainly doesn't think so. The formation and consolidation of the time restricted zone must have its support, or at least its tacit approval." Lin You deliberately pointed the finger at the biggest supporter behind him.

God nodded: "That's normal. From His perspective, He certainly welcomes more 'unknown' events to happen; but doing so is not in our interest."

Chronos agreed, "Indeed, when facing the will of the greater world, the gods should speak with one voice; each doing his own thing will ultimately harm the common interests of all pantheons."

Listening to the speeches of the two supreme gods, Lin You tried hard to hold back his laughter in his heart; they were indeed gods created by Europeans, and even their speech had a European flavor.

What the hell is "speaking with one voice".

"Then the key now is, can Odin accept this 'unified voice'? Will he choose to speak with us, or continue to seek to align himself with the will of the greater world? With the Norse pantheon as an example, will there be more imitators?"

Lin You secretly puts himself in the ranks of "us", but at the same time he questions whether Asgard belongs to "us"?
"Odin has lived with us for thousands of years, but the will of the world is a new outsider." Chronos frowned slightly, not knowing whether he wanted to convince the writer or himself; "I believe that Asgard will eventually choose to stand with the gods."

God's attitude was even tougher: "In addition to Odin's attitude, the most important thing right now is to formulate a set of detailed rules for 'unknown' events; the gods should abide by them together, supervise each other, and prevent any behavior of acting on their own."

"What kind of rules?" Lin You intuitively felt that this proposal was not in his favor.

"To put it simply, it is about assessing, reviewing, and approving 'unknown' events, and setting corresponding standards for each link." God explained, "From now on, any 'unknown' that is not allowed will be regarded as a violation of the Great World Plan."

No explanation was needed, Lin You understood immediately.

The Big World and the Big World Plan are two different things. What is good for the Big World itself may not necessarily be good for the Big World Plan—it may even be harmful.

"This is a huge project. How to formulate the specific rules is a small matter, but how to make all gods accept the constraints is the difficult problem." Lin You said slowly; although the rules would impose the greatest restrictions on the writer, the objections from other gods would not be small, so he was not in a hurry.

For the writer, I definitely don’t want to be the first to speak out, and there may be more opportunities in danger, such as...

"I need you to be the first to stand up and support me," God made the request bluntly.

Lin You shook his head without hesitation: "I am a nobody and my words don't count."

"But you play a crucial role." God's attitude was firm and unyielding. "The writer is the most convenient person to create the 'unknown'. Only if you accept the restrictions of the rules first can the other gods give in."

"Then how are you going to restrict me?" Lin You frowned. "This kind of thing is not something that can be convinced by just talking. If you want the gods to believe that I accept the restrictions of the rules, there must be practical restrictions. Are you planning to add more restrictions to the quill pen?"

"Many times, prohibitions are also protection. Only by accepting the supervision of the gods, you are qualified to supervise the gods in return." God nodded in affirmation at the writer's puzzled look, "You guessed right. While adding prohibitions, the gods will also expand your power. In the future, while prohibiting the creation of 'illegal unknowns', all 'legal unknowns' can only be executed through you."

"It sounds nice to say, let me do the execution; but in the final analysis, aren't you still treating me like a coolie? Just like now, whenever something happens, you ask me to run errands, but there's no benefit from just working hard." Lin You grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"No benefit... Do you believe what you said?" God said angrily, "During the execution process, the specific executors can get a lot of benefits. Haven't you experienced it yourself?"

Lin You curled his lips and said awkwardly, not wanting to say anything more.

Just to explain the superficial benefits, the writer is now a person who can "play a key role" in front of the gods, and any ideas of God must be discussed in advance.

As for the fact that he took a trip to the time forbidden area and brought home a goddess of the highest order, and at the same time "ate" one-fifth of the "Sand of Time", and could travel through the timeline of the great world without the help of the Supreme God, these were only incidental benefits. After suppressing the writer's opinion, God became more confident: "In the God Realm, the three major religions have reached a unity, and Olympus, the Pantheon, and the Celtic pantheon have no different opinions; now as long as we convince Odin, there will be no more changes."

The author counted silently in his mind, three major religions, four pantheons... Isn't this the G7 of the virtual dimension? Under the premise that the Eastern pantheon does not join, and Hinduism is also despised and can only entertain itself, according to the influence and hard power of each pantheon, if the seven of them reach an agreement, they can really lead the big world plan.

"Are you going to the Nine Realms to negotiate with Odin next?" Lin You asked.

"You want to participate? That's right. Once Odin gives up the 'Unknown', he will have to start a new 'Ragnarok' plan, and he will indeed need the help of the writer."

"Only a fool would want to participate. Am I crazy enough to find something to do?" Lin Youliansheng refused.

"Then why do you ask?"

"I want to ask if Zeus will participate in the negotiation with Odin. If not, I just need to talk to him about something. Of course, if he is not available, I can wait."

The God did not answer, but turned to look at Chronos.

The God of Time waved his hand and said, "I think it's best not to let Zeus go. He and Odin have the same bad temper. I'm worried that they will start fighting after just a few words, which goes against the original intention of negotiation and reconciliation."

At this point, Chronos couldn't help but be curious: "Why are you looking for Zeus? I remember that you always avoid these gods, whether it's Zeus or Jupiter."

"There are some things you need to talk to Him about. There are always some problems that cannot be avoided." Lin You looked at Chronos with a bad expression, and only the whites of his dead fish eyes could be seen.

"Oh, I remember now." Chronos smiled, his joy overflowing, as if he had forgotten that he was the instigator; "The little girl in your family, Minerva, has awakened, right? That's right, the contradiction between the coexistence of two Athenas must be resolved."

Lin You sneered: "Two Athenas? Soon they won't be."

"What do you mean by 'soon to be no more'? What is 'no more'? Not what?" The writer's weird smile gave Chronos a warning, and he couldn't help asking three questions in a row.

"Don't worry, you'll know soon. Some things are better not made public; Zeus and I will handle them properly. If you don't trust me, you should trust your own God King." It was a rare opportunity to take the initiative, and Lin You was happy to play the Riddler game.

The smile on Chronos's face gradually disappeared: "Do you need me to accompany you to Mount Olympus?"

"No, no, I know the way. Besides, thanks to Tominerva's awakening, I have now crossed the threshold of true god. I can't say anything else, but it's not difficult to find a way to enter the realm of gods - although I have never been to Mount Olympus alone." Lin You's smile was polite and courteous. "As for you, you should take more care of the affairs of the Nine Realms and Odin. That is the important matter."

After saying that, Lin You didn't give the God of Time more time to think. He turned around and left the Garden of Eden and headed straight for Mount Olympus.

The true God's Mount Olympus is certainly not the highest peak in Greece located on the earth; it has an independent space like the Pantheon, the Nine Realms, the Garden of Eden, and Paradise.

These independent residences of true gods are collectively called the divine realm.

Before crossing the threshold of the true God, the dimension of the Ophiuchus microcosm cannot break through the barrier of the divine world. Although Lin You went to the Garden of Eden just like visiting a neighbor, it was actually a "back door" opened by God for him; if the writer relied on himself, he would not even know where the Garden of Eden was.

It’s like there is common sense in the real dimension: if the world’s superpowers collectively shut down their satellite positioning systems, other countries won’t even know where the “Five Permanent Members” are.

Now, the writer can proudly say that even without the help of the true God, he can find where the divine realm is.

A dimensional gate opened directly to the mountainside of Olympus.

Lin You walked through the door and was greeted by a vast and boundless world.

Mount Olympus in the world of gods is not a solitary mountain, but covers all the place names that have appeared in ancient Greek mythology.

Here there is not only the underworld connected to Mount Olympus, but also the "Caucasus Mountain" where Prometheus was imprisoned, the "City of Athens" where Poseidon and Athena competed for the guardianship, the Trojan Horse that slaughtered the city of Troy, and the Minotaur's Labyrinth where the Minotaur was imprisoned...

Although the topography is very different from that in the real world, even if we only calculate the surface area of ​​the land and the ocean, the Olympus Realm basically covers the entire Eastern Mediterranean, as well as part of the Black Sea and the Western Mediterranean.

The western edge of the God Realm is the vast Atlantic Ocean outside the Pillars of Hercules, and beyond the edge is an endless abyss, where the sea water falls like a waterfall and flows into the deepest part of the abyss of the underworld. The eastern edge of the God Realm belongs to the "Caucasus Mountains", which meanders for thousands of miles and is as high as the sky, blocking the endless darkness of the void outside the mountains.

Mount Olympus is located in the center of the divine world.

The mountainside is covered with snow, and the clouds that never disperse all year round block the scenery on the top of the mountain, as well as the magnificent and golden light of the abode of the gods.

At the foot of the mountain, "human" cities and villages can be vaguely seen, and scattered olive groves and farms surround the center of this divine world; thousands of "mortals" work and offer the most pious prayers to the gods.

The writer didn't have to watch or wait any longer. Just a moment after the dimensional door opened, a figure descended from the white clouds to his side.

"Welcome, writer; the king of gods Zeus invites you." The visitor was a young man, and it was unknown which servant of the gods he was.

Seeing that the other party was very respectful, Lin You also nodded slightly in return, doing enough superficial work. When he was about to leave, he casually asked: "Do mortals also live in the God Realm?"

"They..." The servant followed Lin You's gaze and looked down the mountain, "They are indeed mortals, but they cannot be considered human beings; at least, they cannot be considered living people." (End of this chapter)
