Chapter 187: Fictional Historian Constructing History
Legend has it that in the ancient era when the gods still walked the earth, there existed a type of divine scourge that wantonly ravaged the land.
They were powerful, they were terrifying, they were wanton, and they were immortal and indestructible; wherever they went, there was only destruction and despair.
They brought unprecedented disaster to the world. They wantonly ravaged the land, destroyed the temples of the gods, and devoured the lives of innocent creatures.
The gods struck out one after another, attempting to stop the atrocities of these monsters, but they discovered that the power of such monsters was too great; even they could not completely eradicate them.
And just when the gods were at their wits' end, a race known as Vampires stepped forward, deciding to save this world.
They devoured those monsters, taking them into their own bodies, and kept those monsters in their own blood, preventing them from continuing to destroy the world.
Although the price was having to accept an eternal, immortal Curse, they were willing to bear the burden as living sacrifices to quell the calamity for the sake of this world.
Thus, they were bestowed the name of 【Blood Clan】 by the gods, and the original calamity became the 【Familiar】 kept within the bodies of the Blood Clan.
After checking the polish one last time, Su Nian looked at the Unofficial History of the Ages in his hand and slowly stretched his back.
"Finally finished......"
If it weren't for the fact that he used to write novels and web serials and spout all sorts of nonsense, Su Nian wouldn't have been able to fabricate a qualified "History Construction" so quickly.
This work is truly annoying, especially given that many Saint Annihilation Heritage items were left behind by the 【Great Saint Annihilation】.
Fortunately, during the era of the Great Saint Annihilation, the Familiars that roamed the earth and wantonly destroyed it had the ability to absorb surrounding information to replenish their magic.
This resulted in quite a lot of blanks in the history of this world, and much of the information passed down was incomplete, with many legacies also lost.
Otherwise, Su Nian would have had a massive headache.
Thinking of this, Su Nian stood up, looked at the rising sun outside the window, and twisted his hands, which had been writing "History Construction" all night.
"Let Little Algol see what kind of history you've fabricated?"
Just then, Algol's voice, which carried a startling demonic nature and allure amidst its childishness, rang in Su Nian's ears.
Without the slightest sense of being an outsider, Algol picked up the Unofficial History of the Ages that Su Nian had placed on the table and began reading it with great interest.
"This history doesn't feel 'unofficial' enough; why not add a bit of history about Athena being an ugly woman!"
Algol pouted with some dissatisfaction; when it came to taking revenge on Athena, she always practiced the method of a woman's revenge, from morning till night.
Back when she was sealed, her only pleasure besides beauty treatments was cursing and reviling Athena.
"I'll say it again, this is 【History Construction】, not 【Unofficial History】!!"
Su Nian looked at Algol's projection with black lines on his forehead and retorted.
"At least show some respect for me, the only Fictional Historian on duty in Little Garden!"
"Tch, isn't that just because of those gossiping Poets!"
Algol clicked her tongue; she couldn't understand what the point of Su Nian's inexplicable persistence was.
"Eh, I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable."
Continuing to flip through the Unofficial History of the Ages, Algol soon saw content that interested her.
"You actually added a line to the record of Kain: 'Kain, the most beautiful beauty among the gods of that time.'"
"Little Algol admits that this bit of your record isn't Unofficial History."
Algol nodded with satisfaction, looking at Su Nian with an expression that said he had done well.
"Is that all?"
Su Nian's mouth twitched as he looked at Algol speechlessly; in other words, in Algol's view, everything else was Unofficial History.
But then again, even the history and Mythology legends circulating in Little Garden aren't exactly true anyway.
All Mythology is merely a version that has been polished by Poets and passed down into Human History.
Unofficial History, Official History, History Construction... who can even tell them apart?
Pulling the Unofficial History of the Ages back from Algol's hands and putting it away, Su Nian thought for a moment and asked.
"Little Algol, should it be fine to record the history of the gods this vaguely?"
"Huh?"
Algol was confused for a moment, then immediately reacted, her expression gradually becoming serious.
"Are you talking about Mythology?"
"Yes."
Su Nian nodded with a serious expression.
He had only fabricated history up to the period after the Great Saint Annihilation; as for the history before that, he hadn't started constructing it yet.
But since it concerned the gods, even if this segment of history was unimportant and meaningless in the grand scheme of history, Su Nian still had to treat it with caution.
What if everything else was flawless, but a problem arose with the Mythology?
"Although this part of history isn't important, it's still very necessary in order not to attract attention."
Su Nian said with an emphatic tone.
"Besides, it concerns my scheme regarding the Spirit Status of the ancestor of the Demon race, Kain."
"Ha?"
Algol looked at Su Nian in surprise, then let out a sigh of relief, looking at him with some confusion.
"So that's what you're worried about? What's there to worry about with that?"
"You're probably being a bit too cautious; you've already done such rebellious things, is this really any different?"
Algol looked at Su Nian, feeling completely speechless.
"Just brush this Mythology off with the excuse of the fading of mystery, and then throw in some ambiguous Mythology."
After all, not every world has Mythology, and the Mythology legends between different worlds aren't necessarily the same.
Plus, it's not like the God Groups in Little Garden don't hire Poets to disparage the Spirit Status of their opponents; with truth and falsehood mixed together, who would care?
"Is that so? Then it's fine."
Su Nian breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a smile; after all, this was his first time performing History Construction, and he truly lacked experience.
Afterward, he took out the Unofficial History of Time again, opened the book, and after pondering for a moment, Su Nian picked up his pen and wrote—
Why did Zeus have to cover up his past of selling hooks...
I am Qin Shi Huang. Actually, I am not dead; I was sealed within the Imperial Mausoleum. Send me 50, and once I break the seal, I will appoint you as a Great General...
Why was Sun Wukong able to escape from the palm of Jesus, yet unable to escape from the palm of the Tathagata?...
In this instant, Su Nian seemed to understand the true usage of this Unofficial History of Time he had created.
The ultimate mysteries of the universe gradually awakened and churned in Su Nian's mind... until Su Nian was smashed awake by a hammer from Algol.
"This History Construction of yours is truly both wild and shitty."
Algol looked at this pile of History Construction, and inexplicably, she had the feeling that her eyes had been raped.
But the next moment, Algol quickly reacted.
"Remember to add the Unofficial History that Athena is an ugly woman too!!"
"Or that Athena willingly admits her beauty is inferior to Little Algol's would also work."
Algol said with great excitement; she had already begun to imagine the scene of Athena kneeling before her and admitting she was an ugly woman.
Algol really had found an opportunity and was seizing it to talk about Athena.
Su Nian's mouth twitched, and then he handed the pen in his hand to Algol and said.
"The pen is yours; you write it."
As for how much Su Nian would actually adopt in the end, that was for him to decide; he would just treat it as letting Algol vent her emotions.
The right of final interpretation had always remained in Su Nian's hands.
Watching Algol, who was writing about the Unofficial History of Athena with great interest, Su Nian shook his head helplessly and walked out of the office.
Just as Su Nian walked out, a black-haired, blue-eyed Gothic girl, as exquisite as a doll, appeared behind Su Nian holding a parasol with a smile on her face.
"Nayue, how is the Saint Flash System running?"
Nangong Nayue looked at Su Nian with complex emotions and responded in a deep voice.
"The Saint Flash System is running well, and the Utopia Project has been completely realized."
Who knows what it feels like to wake up from a sleep and see that the World Line of the entire world has changed?
Clearly yesterday, this world was still filled with deceit, the infighting between the Demon Race and the Human Race, and all kinds of injustice and persecution.
Although she had been prepared for a long time, Nangong Nayue still found it somewhat hard to believe; when did the world actually become so beautiful?
Who knows what Nangong Nayue felt when she saw the Demon Race and the Human Race living in peace?
And the news on the television—following the success of the pilot experiment in the Demon District, Demon Race and human nations all over the world could now interact and trade with each other.
Even the fierce and vicious Beastkin murderer she had personally thrown into prison a few days ago had actually turned into a gentle, honest middle-aged Beastkin today.
As for the murder case, it had changed into one caused by a car accident, and that Beastkin, unable to bear the weight of the crime he had committed, had committed suicide.
This magical world gave Nangong Nayue an extremely unreal feeling; it seemed almost too beautiful?
She even suspected whether she was still dreaming and hadn't woken up yet.
Now, the only people in the whole world who knew that the entire world had been modified were probably Su Nian, herself, and Lan Yu Qiancong, right?
The Unofficial History of Time modifies history, records, memories, and common sense, while the Saint Flash System arbitrarily manipulates the personalities, thoughts, good, and evil of everyone in this world.
The two combined to form a World Line overlay device.
Nangong Nayue also truly gained a profound realization of the great power of a Four-digit, and as for the Three-digit or even Two-digit beings above that, Nangong Nayue truly could not imagine them.
Little Garden... is somewhat too terrifying.
And is such a world really the Utopia of her ideals?
Nangong Nayue fell into deep doubt.
Soon, Nangong Nayue let it go; whatever, just tell me, is it a Utopia or not?
Has this world completely achieved peace? Are the Demon Race and the Human Race living in peace? Has the persecution of the Witch stopped?
Since all of that has been achieved, then why can't it be a Utopia?
Anyway, there is no difference.
