Chapter 566: Win-Win for All Parties (Two Chapters in One)
"Wait a minute. If you disclose your and Hongyue's plan like this, aren't you worried that the plan will be exposed?"
The apostle of the Night Demon, that winged, non-humanoid monster seemed very suspicious. He sniffed hard and sneered:
"Not to mention how many pairs of eyes are staring at this place, there are gods standing behind them, who are more troublesome than us. Let's just talk about our position now. We are your enemies. You are so sure that we are interested in what you are talking about. Aren’t you worried about us leaking your plan to the League of Shadows?”
Lynch raised his eyebrows, realizing that Milt was probably not the only one hiding and peeping, but also the believers of the gods. But he just looked around thoughtfully in the center of the tunnel and continued:
"My plan is not a conspiracy. To use the words of another world to describe it, it is a conspiracy. To put it bluntly, this is an idea that is beneficial to everyone. It requires all parties to take the initiative and try their best to cooperate without any grudges. So. I don’t care how many people know it, and I don’t care if the people who know it are human beings.”
After saying that, Lynch took off his hat and bowed, bowed deeply to the sights around him that he didn't know existed, and then turned to the apostle of the Night Demon:
"And the enemies you mentioned, why didn't I know that we were enemies? You may have a lot of grievances between you, but I just woke up with a blank sheet of paper. Do we have any personal grievances?"
Lynch has realized that cultists may be crazy, disorderly and unpredictable, but most evil gods are not. It’s just that mortals cannot understand their logic, but Lynch has knowledge of both worlds, especially in the era of the information explosion. The knowledge gained from his hometown gave him a little confidence that "I haven't heard of anything." He tried hard to analyze the thinking and stance of evil gods from the perspective of evil gods, but there were no reminders from his neighbors in his mind, which made him Lynch is more confident, well, it shouldn't be a big problem.
So, Lin Qi ignored the fan girl who nodded secretly to his question, and said with a half-smile:
"In my opinion, we just had a dispute because we both wanted the same things. This is not really an enemy. On the contrary, it is precisely because we want the same things. As long as we can find a suitable way to unify them. If we get up, then the conflicts between us will disappear. So there is no need for you to doubt my sincerity. I don’t need to decide whether my opinion is feasible. As for the Shadow Alliance, you can judge for yourself. Since it is a conspiracy, I also don’t care if they know about it, because the plan of Ms. Scarlet and I is beneficial to everyone. If they are really willing to share what we need with us as they promised to you, then We have common interests, so they have no reason to hinder us anymore, but if..."
Lin Qi smiled sinisterly, "You Shadow Alliance is targeting me, so don't blame me for attacking you. Let's see which one of you and I can trick the other to death. I also have thousands of years of experience accumulated in my previous life behind me in this stratagem." I may not be afraid of you:
"If they continue, it will be equivalent to undermining our common goal. Then I don't need to say how credible they have been to the promises they made to you. After all, the facts will not quibble."
As Lynch finished speaking, he could clearly feel countless twisted wills intertwining around him.
It was a will that lingered beyond the perception of mortals. It was only with his extraordinary inspiration that he was vaguely aware of these twisted and dark terrifying wills.
Not yet just now, but now I have sensed it. Obviously the other party is investing more consciousness into these carriers in this world. It seems that I have really attracted their attention.
Neighbor, I’m on fire.
Muttering in his heart, Lin Qi raised his chest and raised his head. His voice was full of confidence. It was impossible to tell that his mind was still blank just a few minutes ago:
"First of all, we have to consider a question, what will happen if the mortal world slowly relaxes its control over the mysterious?"
"Of course it makes the power of the dreamland infinitely stronger." The swollen girl sneered, "For mortals, understanding means connection, and then they are eroded by the mystery of the dreamland. You want every mortal to be eroded by the mystery Is it fatal? You are helping the dreamland to strengthen itself."
Lin Qi's eyes narrowed and he clenched his fists suddenly. The swollen girl subconsciously took a step back and covered the bridge of her nose with a fan.
However, Lynch just covered his mouth with his fist and coughed a few times with a half-smile. Then he looked back and said lightly: "The biggest fear comes from the unknown. He should appropriately reveal the existence of the mysterious world and publish it in the form of a tabloid." Its entertainment, in theory, will not increase the fear of fantasy dreams, but will reduce the fear, but the price is that everyone becomes a mysterious related person, and is constantly being eroded by mystery. But, what does it matter? Woolen cloth?"
Lynch showed a holy smile and drew a full moon circle on his chest with his fingers like a priest: "Believe in the Lord and worship the Lord. The Lord will bless the devout believers."
There was silence. At this time, the cultists looked at him as if they were their own kind, and they were higher-end kind. Finally, a bunch of eyeballs made a cough-like sound and retorted:
"Your idea is actually very close to the situation in the First Age. The blessing of the gods can indeed offset part of the mysterious erosion, but that requires very devout faith. So your method can indeed greatly increase the faith gained by the gods, even beyond this The age of vaporization should be as good as it should be, but that's only the beginning. It won't take long for those whose beliefs are not devout enough and are quickly eroded by mystery to realize that the danger comes from mystery. This gap will only increase their fear. Let the dreamland become more powerful, and once the power of the dreamland is too strong, it will one day break through the protection of the gods, and the fear of those devout believers will be like a flood that bursts. It can't be stopped."
So that's how the First Age finally collapsed.
Lin Qi was thinking in his heart, but on the surface he looked very confident. He lifted his hat in the air as if paying tribute to the non-existent sight:
"So my plan is called the Heaven and Hell Plan. This part is just the Heaven Plan. Once it stabilizes, the faith gained by the gods will be endless, and the power of the gods can also protect most believers. As for the unbelievers...well, I thought that there wouldn’t be too many atheist patients who insisted on being unbelievers, so I didn’t think about it for the time being.”
Then he looked around at the cultists and the evil gods in their consciousness: "The following is the hell plan. According to legend, Dreamland was originally a paradise. It was a paradise with beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, and a dream-like beauty. Just since the end of the first era, this place has been occupied by the seventy-two evil gods from the void. These demon gods are extremely terrifying, and even a ray of consciousness will bring a devastating threat to the present world. "
Listening to Lynch's description, some of the many cultists were thoughtful and some were in a daze. However, those weird and twisted auras continued to collide in the air. Seeing Lynch stop, several cultists simultaneously He urged: "You continue."
"It is because of their appearance that the beautiful dreamland has turned into the horrible state it is now, with miasma permeating the sky and the earth, and monsters and demons running rampant. And these demons are coveting the beauty of the world, and want to turn the world into that. It looks terrifying. The end of the previous eras was caused by the invasion of the world by these demons. It was only through the suppression of the gods that the crazy behavior of the evil gods was stopped and the safety of the world was preserved. "
Silence, deathly silence.
In the underground tunnel, only the crackle of burning torches echoed.
The apostles have different cognitive abilities and may not be able to understand the meaning of this practice, but the old rulers behind them are constantly communicating with each other beyond the cognition of mortals. This made the apostles dare not express their opinions at will, and they could only wait quietly for the gods they served to issue their decrees.
It was quite refreshing to be stared at carefully and respectfully by a group of high-level experts. Lin Qi smiled lightly and did not rush him, just standing there leisurely holding his cane.
Although this idea was improvised, it was by no means a hasty one.
In fact, although this set of rhetoric is relatively unfamiliar to the world of polytheism, it has been played in the world of monotheism for thousands of years and is already quite mature. The binary opposition structure formed is quite stable. Even those who do not know the world of polytheism Can you understand?
The silence continued. After a long time, Yog-Sothoth's Eyeball Apostle opened... and spoke: "So, Sir Leviv, your hell plan is to bring the old rulers from the Dreamland and the Dreamland together." Split itself?"
"That's right." Lin Qi clapped his hands in appreciation. As expected of the Lord of Billions of Lights who claims to be all-knowing and all-seeing, he made it clear: "Do you think that once heaven and hell are unified and this explanation is made universal, in the future Should people’s fear of mystery be focused on the supposedly picturesque dreamland itself, or on the terrifying seventy-two evil gods from outside?”
Then the source of evil must be the more terrifying one. Who would be afraid of an environment that is only affected by evil gods?
Of course, there is also fear of the dreamland itself, but that is just a subsidiary product of the fear of evil gods and various mysterious aliens. Therefore, the evil gods took away most of the shares that belong to the dreamland, and continue to devour the fear and fear of living beings. In this desperate dreamland, it will be difficult to accumulate enough power to continue to devour the world for a long, long time.
Without the disaster of annihilation that comes every tens of thousands of years, living beings should have enough time to find a way to deal with the mysterious erosion.
Therefore, this is not a crazy behavior that ignores the living beings in this world, but a choice to break and then make something new. If you don't take this step, it will always be an endless cycle. But if you take this step, the world may be on the right track.
The only drawback is that as the population expands and disasters such as plague wars appear, the evil gods will become more powerful. However, the closer they are to the desperate situation, the stronger their hope for survival will be, and the power of the gods will also gain a leap.
The apostles, who were not crazy enough, have gradually figured out the hidden meaning, and have also fallen into deep thought.
Once this system is firmly established in the future, the two camps of heaven and hell will appear to be in opposition, but in reality will be unified, and they will live in peace from then on. From now on, as long as we carefully guard this secret together, we will not only greatly weaken the intensity of the dreamland, but also work together to divide the faith and fear of mortal beings.
As Lynch said, faith belongs to the gods in heaven, fear belongs to the evil gods in hell, and life belongs to human beings themselves.
It is indeed a win-win outcome.
"I don't know what the League of Shadows promised you, but I think that since you are here, it is enough to show that the old rulers behind you..." Lynch did not bow to salute this time, but was very reserved. He nodded to several of the Dominator's apostles, "They can communicate, and there is interest in this matter, so I just told you this today. I don't know what their ultimate purpose is, but..."
"No one knows their goals. I'm afraid only their gods know."
A thick and huge voice sounded in the consciousness of everyone present, and Lynch was startled by the reaction without warning.
The main reason is that the 'sound' is too loud. If it were in the real world, it would not be an exaggeration to say it would be deafening.
The speaker couldn't be seen, but Lynch could feel the voice coming from underground.
Damn it, this isn’t Schudemaier, is it?
Its will actually did not return to the dreamland, but has been lingering around. If it bites up from the ground, everyone here will fill its stomach.
And you said that as a big boss who has only one foot in the realm of evil gods, is it appropriate to hide under the floor and eavesdrop?
Lin Qi complained hard in his heart while pretending to be calm and confident on the surface. This reminded Lin Qi of an old man with a white beard standing on the tower playing the piano. He coughed dryly and put away his thoughts of amusing himself: "So, their Who is the supreme god?”
"Contact with gods is not what you can understand from a human perspective now, blind." The huge ancient voice was slow and thick, "What we come into contact with is not his will, but his believers. From the believers, I sensed a conspiracy. Such power. This is the mark of identifying a god.”
conspiracy? Who is it?
The first thing Lynch thought of was the God of War, but if he thought about it carefully, the main sphere of influence of the Lord of War was in the ancient continent, where the people were strong and the power was closer to tactics or strategy, and the supreme man behind the Black Spider The method is not rough, this guess can be ruled out for the time being.
Who could it be?
Lin Qi was puzzled, but the most fortunate thing now was that Sudmel's performance was enough to prove that the evil gods were already interested.
"The League of Shadows will not tell us their plans, they will just ask us to complete some things. I don't know about other individuals. What they promised me is indeed to maximize the impact we receive on the basis of ensuring that the world and the dreamland are not destroyed. Fear, they promise to repeat it every once in a while. This is why we are willing to communicate with them." The ancient consciousness slowly conveyed the message, "In this matter, you are willing to disclose your plan to me, which makes me more confident. If you wish, at least I can judge whether your plan is feasible, unlike theirs, which can only be regarded as a wish. Moreover, although the future you describe is risky, it is more durable and stable. I am willing to consider your proposal, blindly, but I am willing to consider it. There is a problem."
Lin Qi calmly made a gesture of invitation.
"You never mentioned, how can you guarantee that your plan will succeed? Especially when your plans conflict, why should we believe that you will be the winner?"
Lynch paused with his cane and said calmly: "Didn't the fight just now explain the problem, Shudemeier?"
A strong pressure surged up from the ground.
Earthsplitter was angry.
