There is no need for God's help to open a portal. Lin You can now come and go freely in the God Realm. Of course, the prerequisite is that the masters of the God Realm do not shut him out.

Lin You entered the Garden of Eden through the dimensional space gate and walked in with ease; but after taking only three or five steps, he suddenly stopped and looked around thoughtfully.

The Garden of Eden is still desolate and dilapidated as always. In the past two years, God has summoned angels from DC stories to fill the void, but has never summoned the original angels from the Bible. It is said that when the first Great World Plan failed, the Garden of Eden was greatly impacted and has not recovered to this day.

In the past, Lin You thought this statement was reasonable. After all, he had witnessed the tragic destruction of the small world. As a collection of so many stories, the big world would definitely suffer greater losses when it was broken. Until today, when he faced the familiar dilapidated scene, he inexplicably felt a little strange in his heart, and always felt that the current situation of the Garden of Eden seemed to be contrary to common sense.

How did this psychological change happen?

The author recalled his experiences during the past period of time from beginning to end, and even replayed his experiences in the human world for nearly ten years in the time forbidden zone; it was not until he remembered the process of his trip to the Olympus gods to negotiate with Zeus that he suddenly realized.

The recovery speed of the Garden of Eden is too slow!
As a participant in the first great world plan, and having suffered heavy losses in the last failed plan, even if the Olympus world has not recovered its former glory, it has already shown a vibrant vitality with all things competing for survival.

Even the Olympian pantheon can do something, but the Christian pantheon, which has a greater influence and a higher relative status in the Great World Plan, can't do it? It doesn't make sense!
The doubtful thoughts took root in Lin You's mind and lingered until he met God.

"Are you here today with confusion, writer?" God, with Morgan Freeman's face on his face, stood in front of the "sand table" and observed the changes in different story worlds. This seemed to have become one of His hobbies.

"Yes, I am very confused now, and I can even say that I am a little anxious." Unlike facing gods with more personified symbols such as Zeus and Odin, when facing conceptual supreme gods such as God and Chronos, Lin You always keeps a low profile.

The author is very clear that although the Supreme Gods also displayed many personalized characteristics in front of him, those were actually illusions. The Supreme Gods were just putting on skins borrowed from a small story world to facilitate communication with himself, a human being.

God didn't even turn his head, his eyes still focused on the "sandbox"; only the voice sounded slowly: "Is it because of the changes you made in the Harry Potter story?"

As soon as this question came up, Lin You was certain that he was always under the surveillance of these supreme gods, and that the surveillance measures were not limited to a quill pen.

"To be precise, it is the changes made in the big world." The writer Xiao Xiao corrected God's words, "I am very clear that there is a big difference between making changes in the story world before the fusion and making changes in the big world after the fusion."

"I am glad that you have such cognition. If you make changes in the big world, the gods will think that there are mistakes in your work, and you will have to take drastic actions to correct them." God finally turned his head and glanced at Lin You, but just a glance, and then turned his head to look at the "sand table"; as if to say that the writer was only concerned about a small problem.

"Then why didn't they react? Changing the plot of Harry Potter in advance, which led to uncontrollable 'unknown' events, was indeed a mistake that cannot be ignored; I myself do not deny this." Lin You asked the question in his heart, "But now I am correcting the mistakes and making new changes to the plot, but the gods have no reaction."

"Because you are lucky, Odin made a bigger mistake in this matter and stole more attention."

"Is this the only reason? I feel like it's not enough?" Lin You was still confused.

God smiled. "Of course there is another reason. I said a few good words for you. I think your previous work should be recognized and you don't have to be too harsh on individual mistakes. The gods accepted my opinion."

"Thank you." Lin You thanked sincerely, but it failed to completely dispel the doubts in his heart.

"No need to thank me. We are working for the same goal and common interests, aren't we?" God turned his head again, but this time he did not turn back immediately. Instead, he stared at the writer for a long time. "Your confusion is not limited to this, right?"

Lin You was confused for a moment: "Well, what else?"

"Of course. You hesitated for a long time outside the Garden of Eden just now. Could it be that those desolate scenes suddenly became unfamiliar?"

God's question gave the writer a sudden shock; he suddenly realized that God cared about him much more and more deeply than he had expected in the past. Even if it was just a moment of pause, the brief and subtle emotional changes could not escape the other's sight.

"It's not because the desolate scene has become unfamiliar, on the contrary. It's because this scene has lasted too long and is too familiar." Although he had many thoughts in his mind, Lin You responded quickly and chose to be honest at the first time. "I just came back from Olympus, where the prosperous scene in the myths has almost been restored. Compared with them, the Garden of Eden has always maintained a desolate and dilapidated scene, which makes me very puzzled."

"Well, it's reasonable to suspect that the desolate scene of the Garden of Eden does contradict the results of your work in recent years. Logically speaking, with so many stories integrated, this place should have gradually recovered. Have you ever thought about the answer to this question?" God slowly walked to the writer, "What do you think is the reason why the Garden of Eden remains desolate and difficult to recover?"

Lin You spread his hands and said, "Either the damage to the Garden of Eden was greater than that to Olympus; or it is still suffering from damage, and even if I incorporate many stories with God's background, I still cannot compensate for the loss. But I'm not sure which one it is."

"Both." God gave the answer frankly.

Lin You controlled his facial expression very well, but a hint of bitterness involuntarily emerged in his eyes; according to his experience, when the Supreme God confessed certain hidden dangers, accidents, and difficulties, it was likely that they were preparing to issue new tasks.

No wonder he took the initiative to speak well of me before and blocked the possible accountability from the gods!
It turns out that there is no free lunch in the world; when a leader takes the initiative to help his subordinates solve problems, it often means that he wants to get more rewards from his subordinates.

"I've always thought that your recent job is to coordinate the gods to formulate rules for handling 'unknown' events, isn't it?" The writer hoped that God would give a positive answer.

"Let's put things one way and deal with them one way or another. 'Unknown' events must of course be dealt with. How do we put it in human terms? Standardize them? But other things are equally worthy of attention and need to be dealt with in a timely manner." God's hand rested on the writer's shoulder, and the space suddenly changed; the fragments of the DC story world that had been seen more than once appeared before his eyes again.

"The reason why the Garden of Eden has been in a desolate and dilapidated state for a long time is related to the remaining fragments of the DC world?" Lin You asked tentatively.

Compared to the Constantine story and Wonder Woman story that have been integrated into the big world in batches, the so-called "remaining part" actually occupies a larger part of the story content in the DC world.

Here we have Superman, Batman, the Flash, "chewing gum" and "traffic lights", and of course there are also all kinds of "versatile" villains.

God was silent for a moment, as if he was considering his words: "The reason why the Garden of Eden has been desolate and dilapidated for a long time is that the remaining fragments of the DC world have become less pure."

"I've always thought that the word 'simple' is used to describe humans, and at most extended to other intelligent creatures; but when used on a fragment of the world..." Lin You tactfully indicated that he didn't understand.

"Let's put it this way, the remaining fragments of the DC world are mixed with some content from other stories."

"Other stories, which stories?" Lin You asked. God replied calmly, "I remember telling you about the cause of the failure of the first Great World Plan."

The writer gasped: "A Marvel story?"

God nodded.

Lin You was stunned for a moment: "You didn't separate the two worlds? I always thought you had cleaned up the mess from the failed plan last time, but you didn't?"

"Indeed not. In fact, most of the intertwined content has been cleared, but the few remaining 'impurities' are almost all present in the story lines of every major DC character, and they affect the entire story."

"Residual 'impurities'? This definition is really interesting. What are they?" Lin You no longer trusted God's ambiguous and vague words, and began to ask for details.

God paused for a moment and said, "Those contents are more in line with reality than DC comics. You should know that compared to DC comics, which are more religious and philosophical, Marvel stories are much more deeply connected to reality."

"Of course I know." Lin You thought of the issue that best reflected the connection between Marvel stories and reality.

It was shortly after the September 9th incident in the real dimension, and Marvel's editorial department created a special issue in which many superheroes rushed to the ruins of the Twin Towers to help search and rescue survivors. Because it was a "rushed chapter", the length was very short, which was something that DC Comics could never do.

After all, strictly speaking, DC's "Metropolis" is not the real New York; Superman could never appear at the Twin Towers.

"If you couldn't separate them when the first great world was shattered, then you can't separate them now?" Lin You couldn't help but question, "You are not only the God of the Christian world, but also the God of the DC story world; I witnessed the process of you merging the status of the Supreme God of the two worlds with my own eyes."

"You also helped to make it happen. Yes, of course I haven't forgotten." God smiled calmly, "You guessed right. If I couldn't do it at the beginning, then I deliberately didn't do it later. I didn't want to separate those 'impurities'."

"why?"

"Because it is easier to maintain the stability of the fragments of the DC world in this way; don't doubt it, I am telling the truth. I don't know whether it is because of complementarity or because opposites attract, when the first big world ended up broken, the part of the Marvel story that was most closely connected to reality was closely integrated with the DC comic story, and it is no longer possible to separate them. I found that their existence just makes up for the most unstable and most questionable flaws in the DC story."

"Are you talking about the story bug?" Lin You used another word instead.

"Yes, BUG." God nodded. "You should be able to see that compared to Marvel stories, the presence of the government in DC stories - or any kind of public power organization in the world - is too weak. Its story is more like a game between gods and supernatural beings, and the existence of the earth and human society only provides a stage for this game."

"I can understand making this kind of modification. Before the quill pen appeared, this was a feasible modification method." Although Lin You agreed with God's statement, his doubts were still unanswered. "But what does this have to do with the long-term inability to restore the Garden of Eden?"

This question made God silent for a long time; Lin You felt that this silence was different from any previous one. It seemed that He was not considering His words, but considering whether to tell the truth.

Before the writer crossed the threshold of the true God, he had never had such keen perception; but he remained silent and deliberately suppressed his perception.

After waiting for a long time, God finally spoke: "The reason why the Garden of Eden cannot be restored is that it is under greater pressure. It is much more difficult to restore than Olympus."

Lin You asked: "Where does the pressure come from? I think it definitely doesn't come from the Second Great World Plan?"

"The pressure comes from the demands of another world," God explained. "The Garden of Eden is more than just a dwelling place for a supreme being."

"It could be anything else other than the residence of the Supreme God?" Lin You kept repeating himself but still couldn't figure it out.

"You misunderstood what I meant. I said it is more than just the residence of a Supreme God because there is also a second Supreme God 'living' here at the same time. Therefore, the 'energy' required to restore the Garden of Eden is much greater than any other divine realm."

God's tone revealed some hesitation, but the hesitation was very short and could easily be overlooked if one was not careful; if Lin You was not a true God, he would have overlooked it as well.

Lin You could never have imagined such an answer. He was so shocked that he couldn't help but ask, "Who is the second Supreme God?"

"Didn't you ask me before whether I had merged with the God of the DC world?" God asked instead of answering.

"Yes...you denied my guess at that time. Did you lie?"

"No, I did not merge with the Supreme God of the DC world, but..."

"But you merged with Marvel?" Lin You reacted very quickly, even interrupting God's words rudely, "Who did you merge with? I guess the Marvel editors themselves don't know who should be given the title of Marvel's Supreme God; is it OAA, or the First Sky?"

God’s answer was extremely simple: “BOTH!”

"You swallowed them both?"

"It's not swallowing, but fusion."

"What's the difference?" Lin You asked back, "Without the First Sky, there would be no second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh universes, no eternity and infinity. Strictly speaking, all these characters have been swallowed by you."

"In fact... eternity and infinity were swallowed by Chronos; if one must use the word 'swallowed'."

God's answer made Lin You shudder. (End of this chapter)
