When Lin You first took on the job of writer, the second great world plan had just begun; perhaps in view of the painful experience of the failure of the first plan, the gods showed their utmost sincerity in the new plan, which led to the birth of the unique artifact, the quill pen.
At that time, all parties involved in the plan, although not happy, at least had a superficial harmony. When integrating other story worlds, they were able to basically respect each other and value peace; as long as they did not deliberately mess with the big world plan, even if the true gods had an overwhelming advantage in strength, they would not resort to force.
The main goal is peaceful co-construction, mutual benefit and win-win results; those who are willing to come are welcome, and those who are not willing to come will not be forced.
Therefore, Lin You could never have imagined that the two main executors of the Big World Plan actually had such a side, blatantly devouring the supreme gods of other worlds and arbitrarily dismantling and occupying other story worlds.
Perhaps, this is the true face of the first Great World Plan; as for the second one, it is the result of substantial improvements and is covered with a veil of tenderness.
Seeing that the writer was speechless for a moment, God did not say much, but took the writer deeper into the fragments of the DC world.
As he got closer, Lin You was able to observe the current state of the world fragments more clearly. The layers of virtual worlds overlapped, and there was a lot of "information penetration" between them. After careful identification, he could also see the specific content of this "information".
SHIELD, S.H.I.E.L.D., S.W.O.R.D., HYDRA, Rising Tide, etc., all kinds of governments and anti-government organizations from the Marvel world; they have one thing in common, that is, they are all built by ordinary mortals and rely on the light and dark rules of human society to survive and operate.
The relationship between secular society and supernatural powers is exactly what is missing most in DC comics; the public power of mortal governments is meaningless in the face of supernatural powers.
The secular society is merely a stage for superheroes and supervillains to fight for their respective ideals, and a carrier for the struggle between the philosophical ideas of both sides; in front of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash, the only role that mortals can play is the lamb waiting to be saved.
Even in Nolan's Batman trilogy, the most realistic outlier in the DC series, the public power of Gotham City has to rely on Batman's deterrent effect on criminals.
Even for Lin You, when he was thinking about how to rewrite and integrate the DC world from the perspective of a writer, the serious disconnection between the heroic world and secular society was the difficulty he focused on.
The difficulty is even greater than how to arrange fictional cities such as "Metropolis", "Gotham" and "Midtown" on the map of the United States.
But now God told him that there was already a solution to this problem, and it had already been implemented; it was just that the cost of solving the problem was relatively high, and the writer had to deal with the more serious consequences that resulted from it.
Help God completely integrate the Supreme God of another world.
"Can you... 'spit out' the First Sky and OAA, and then remove those 'impurities' belonging to Marvel in the DC world? I would rather solve the inherent problems of the DC story itself." Lin You made a serious suggestion.
As you can imagine, it was ignored.
"I need your help, Writer," God emphasized again.
"Yes, you need help, but how can I help?" Lin You spread his hands, showing helplessness, "You swallowed the Supreme God of a world, and it is a world whose origin and attributes are completely different from the story in the Bible. This is not the time when you replaced the God of the DC world, nor is it as simple as an ordinary person's stomach getting upset and not being able to digest food."
God nodded disapprovingly: "I know everything you said, so I don't expect you to solve the problem of how to 'digest' for me."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"I just need you to help me do one thing - completely eradicate the foundation of the First Sky and OAA."
Perhaps God's tone was too peaceful, so it took Lin You a long time to figure out the murderous intent contained in His words.
What else could be the foundation of the Supreme God other than the world He created and in which He lives?
"You mean... you want me to completely destroy the existence of the Marvel Universe?"
"You don't necessarily have to destroy them completely. You just need to undermine their independence so that they can no longer exist as an independent story world." God said lightly.
Lin You was shocked and said, "What's the difference between that and complete destruction? You and Chronos devoured their supreme gods and extracted the story content you needed from them to serve as nutrients for the DC world. Even if the remaining 'residues' are not destroyed immediately, how long can they exist in the virtual dimension?"
"In recent years, Marvel stories have had a great influence in the real dimension; as long as they are blessed by the thoughts of humans in the real dimension, their world will gradually recover. Just like a big tree, even if a branch is chopped off, or even half of the trunk is broken, as long as it is properly cared for, it can still survive." God's indifferent tone, as if he was talking about a plant that would not resist.
Lin You sneered: "Yes, but the recovery speed will be slower than the current Garden of Eden, and we have to pray that during the recovery process, the Marvel stories in the real dimension will continue to be prosperous. Because you not only chopped off the branches and broke the trunk, but also dug out most of the root system."
"You're right. Isn't the cause and key to the problem the Garden of Eden?" God looked back and saw the Garden of Eden in the distance. "Think about it. Since you became a writer, you have often worked in the Garden of Eden. It is almost your second home in the virtual dimension. Compared with it, what is the Marvel world? You have never even been to that story world and don't know anyone there."
With God's calm statement, the four words "close" and "distant" were placed in front of Lin You. This is an extremely simple and clear criterion, and it is also a criterion that the writer cannot deny.
Within the scope of the Big World Plan, all universal values are ridiculous. There are so many stories that take place on Earth, and each Earth in the story has a population of 70 billion; when integrated into the Big World, there is only one Earth left, and it still has only billion people.
Judging by universal values, the gods and writers are already the most unforgivable executioners in history.
"How do you want me to help you?"
God replied: "Integrate these fragments of the DC world and let the big world recognize that the content of the Marvel stories is naturally part of the DC world."
"In this way, you can naturally integrate the information of the Marvel world through your identity as the God of the DC world, thereby speeding up the integration of the First Firmament and OAA." Lin You quickly understood God's plan, "At least one of the First Firmament and OAA should have been on the same level as the God of the DC world; and you want to use the power of the quill pen to suppress them to a lower level out of thin air, so as to gain a greater strength advantage. The greater the gap in strength, the faster and easier the swallowing and fusion will be."
"You can do it, right?" God said kindly.
Lin You said with a serious face: "It is technically feasible, but... will the other gods agree? Will the will of the big world agree? In the past fusions, the gods each found their own branches. The Bible merged with the Bible, and Asgard found Asgard. Olympus and the Pantheon, which have the closest relationship, just poached each other and caused a lot of trouble. Devouring gods with completely different systems like you will make the gods lose their sense of security - you are opening Pandora's box." "Then let Chronos deal with the box. Isn't He the supreme god of Olympus?" God smiled nonchalantly, "You are the writer. As long as what you write does not directly violate the interests of the gods, they don't care what you write specifically. It's just incomplete information about a broken world. You can easily hide it from their sight, right?"
Lin You reminded: "Even if you can hide it from the gods, you can't hide it from the will of the big world. If you want to write the information of the Marvel world into the big world, you must get His permission."
"That's why I said that I need your help - sincere help." God looked directly at the writer with a meaningful look, "You are already a native god of the big world. Can't you persuade the big world to give you some face and make some concessions?"
The deeply hidden secret was revealed, but Lin You's expression did not change much; his mood at the moment was not "How could this happen?" but "As expected!"
How could a truth that even a half-baked true god like Patrick Morgan could guess be hidden from a supreme god for long?
"You guessed it."
"You didn't intend to hide it, did you?" God's expression and tone remained calm, as if he did not regard the writer as a "traitor"; "Otherwise, I would not have deliberately transformed the little girl next to you into a native god. What kind of transaction with the will of the big world? Ha... I guess only fools would believe it."
"You don't seem angry." Lin You couldn't help but be curious.
God asked back: "Angry, why?"
"I chose to cooperate with the will of the great world. From your and the gods' point of view, isn't that a betrayal?"
God laughed when he heard this: "Are you going to destroy the Great World Plan? Do you have the ability to transfer the benefits of the Great World Plan to the Great World Will? Will you abandon your identity and responsibilities as the author?"
Every time God asked a question, Lin You shook his head; in the end, not only the questioner laughed, but also the people who answered the questions laughed.
"Yes, you know that the Great World Plan is the foundation of your existence in the virtual dimension; you also know why the Great World Will chose you as the original god. You just made the choice that maximizes your own interests, but you still clearly distinguish between relatives and strangers and know where the greater interests lie. In this case, why should I be angry? Not to mention, your special new identity is very conducive to our cooperation and mutual benefit, isn't it?"
Lin You nodded slightly, as if he was completely convinced by God.
"You're right, cooperation is mutually beneficial... You help me resolve the blame of the gods, and I help you digest the swallowed Supreme God. By the way, how is Chronos? Does He also have indigestion?"
"His situation is much better than mine." God sighed with envy. "The main conceptual representations of eternity are time and existence. Coincidentally, Chronos is also like this. Although they are not from the same pantheon, the concepts are essentially similar."
"So He digests it better? I should have thought of it earlier. After all, Mount Olympus recovered so well, it must have something to do with Him." Lin You laughed dumbly, "When are you going to integrate the last part of the DC story?"
"Don't be in a hurry. This part of the story is too huge, and it will require a lot of 'truth factors'. I can wait a little longer, and you can deal with your own troubles. It would be best if there were no more twists and turns in the 'unknown' events in the Harry Potter world." God reminded at last.
Lin You responded confidently: "Every twist and turn in the story world is because the gods reached out to it."
God nodded slightly. "That's good. My suggestion is that you can discuss with the will of the great world and speed up the flow of time in the great world. The best option is to advance the main timeline of the Harry Potter story to the end during the time when the gods are discussing the rules of the 'unknown' event."
"I understand." Lin You accepted the proposal frankly.
The two accomplices who equally attempted to abuse their power for personal gain spoke out, and many things that had been hidden in the past, things that could be done but not said, things that could be understood but not expressed in words, can now all be spoken.
Regardless of whether this approach is good or bad, it does make communication more efficient than before.
Having reached an agreement, Lin You walked briskly back to the Forest Manor; not only Diana, but even the ignorant Minerva could clearly feel Lin You's relaxed and happy mood. For a while, there were many more laughters in the manor.
No one knew the deep doubts hidden behind Lin You's relaxed smile.
God already knows the secrets that the God of Truth once revealed; then would God also know the secrets that the God of Truth did not have the time to reveal?
As an old creature who has lived for thousands of years, his cunning is indeed incomparable to others; from the failure of the first big world plan to the gradual progress of the second big world plan, the legacy issues of the two worlds of DC and Marvel have been concealed by him until now, and they are tight.
It was not until the writer made a mistake and was left with evidence that he had no choice but to ask God for help that He chose to be "honest."
"What a perfect timing." Lin You muttered to himself, and buried all thoughts related to this matter deep in his heart.
Now is not the time to be fussy. The important thing to do is to clean up your own mess first.
Harry Potter was kidnapped and Voldemort was resurrected, so a big turmoil in the wizarding world was inevitable; the revision of the Harry Potter story also reached a critical moment.
While Earl Goff was waiting for news at home, waiting to see what new tricks the Minister of Magic would use to "battle wits and courage" with Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts took the initiative to come to him and made an incredible request.
"Did I hear you wrongly? What you really wanted to say was that you wanted me to go to Hogwarts next semester?"
The old wizard shook his head seriously and said solemnly: "You did hear wrongly. I am not asking you to go to school, but to take classes. I would like to ask you to replace Alastor as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts next semester." (End of this chapter)
