I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

If the snow is very thick, then it's a different story.

The snow on the ground was like a thick blanket, absorbing the impact without making it wet. Qin Tiantian quickly built two more snowmen. Looking at the snowmen she had built, she suddenly remembered something.

"Hey wait a minute, if you're using dumpling filling to build a snowman, what are we going to eat for dinner?"

She turned around and saw Feng Yu standing where the snowman had been, with Qin Tiantian's red scarf around his neck.

"Wow, Feng Yu, when did you get back?"

Qin Tiantian moved closer.

"Good morning."

Feng Yu took off the red scarf and put it on Qin Tiantian.

"Hey, where are you? Never mind, let's have hot pot together tonight!"

Qin Tiantian said excitedly.

"Ah."

Feng Yu nodded, watching Qin Tiantian go off to build a snowman again, and then glanced at Lu Ban beside him.

Lu Ban was squatting on the ground, talking to one of the snowmen that Qin Tiantian had just built.

"Here I have an ancestral carrot. Once you stick it in your nose, you can turn into a real human. You all saw it just now. Now, who wants to try it?"

He held the carrot in his hand and spoke very seriously.

Feng Yu looked at him with a smile, without saying a word.

Chapter 547 Dumplings! Delicious!

"Are you going to fight some evil god or Great Old One face to face?"

While Qin Tiantian was still having a lively snowball fight with the children in the next building, Lu Ban asked Feng Yu a question.

“As I said, there’s something unsettling in Massachusetts, you could think of something similar, but it hasn’t awakened yet. I was just there to check things out.”

As Feng Yu spoke, he thought for a moment and then added a sentence.

"This world is not as simple as we initially imagined. There are many indescribable beings watching over this place, and even some deities slumber here, just as we saw in the South Pacific."

She used "some" instead of "one".

"Of course, logically speaking, this is not reasonable, because the universe is so vast and there are so many other realms. There is no reason for the gods to focus their attention on this small planet. If that were the case, then the vision of those gods would be far too narrow."

"Unless, something fundamental, essential, and rooted remains in this world."

Feng Yu seemed to be deep in thought.

"Wait a minute, you said some gods are sleeping here. Are they really that small?"

Lu Ban gestured with his hand.

The Great Old Ones he had seen all required a massive black hole to bind Him, and even the tremors in His dreams were enough to annihilate life within billions of light-years. Such a colossal being was confined to this tiny planet; wasn't that a bit... narrow-minded?

"Space is only one aspect of these divine forms. If they are merely large, it is not enough to be called gods. Although a body that is large enough to be considered great is indeed enough, it is not enough. The reason why gods are called gods is because their level of corruption is high enough. Their large and majestic bodies are just appearances, just like you and me."

At this point, Feng Yu paused, whether observing Lu Ban's reaction or considering his options, it was certainly not out of shyness.

"The alienation caused by the contamination will become more and more serious. The sealing process actually seals the contamination and knowledge. As that knowledge is sealed away, the huge body will shrink, and may even become only the size of a person. Of course, at this point, the contamination it causes to the outside world will be quite limited."

"Will evil gods transform into humans and live in this world like this?"

Lu Ban suddenly became curious. Perhaps some evil gods actually enjoy this kind of life, with white hair, a single ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up), singing things like "Come and fuck that cute loli" and squeezing the old, gentle male protagonist dozens of times a night.

"Do not."

Feng Yu chuckled softly.

"Even if they are sealed away, they are mostly boiling silt that fills the entire cave, or huge beasts covered in rough fur, or a ray of light, or a melody."

"The Great Old Ones will never be human. Even a trace of reason that humans possess is unacceptable to these extremely chaotic beings. Of course, there are some Great Old Ones, or higher-level beings, who can tolerate rational beings, but they also tolerate madness. Whether a being is rational or not, they don't care."

"So what do you think is here?"

Lu Ban asked.

"I don't know. Perhaps a higher-level being is sealed here, or maybe it's something. But since even the Great Old Ones don't know, it's even less likely that I would know."

Feng Yu murmured.

"So, if some chosen ones from other realms want to release the evil gods here and destroy the entire planet, then it will be clear what's hidden here and what's worth paying attention to?"

Lu Ban thought this was probably the reason why those alien life forms like the little fishmen would come to this world from time to time to cause trouble.

If you can't find the stones in a bucket of rice, just pour the whole bucket out or put it in a millstone, and the stones will come out on their own.

Rather than saying that those great beings "wanted" these things, it's more accurate to say that these things may have involuntarily attracted them.

"That's possible. I encountered some from other alien realms this time, but it's not a big problem. Compared to them, sleeping guys are more terrifying."

Feng Yu smiled.

Lu Ban watched as Qin Tiantian and the children had a fierce snowball fight, and the snowballs gradually piled up, turning into the system's cold and indifferent text.

Settlement complete

Please complete the task to receive the reward.

As for Lu Ban, this mission yielded the [Twisted Heart of the Swarm], revealed the secret of the Wasteland's origin, witnessed some of the secrets of the Great Old Ones, and obtained a fragment of Du Danping's Melody, making it a very fruitful experience.

But it seems that it's difficult to change a person's values ​​with just one movie.

Lu Ban's hard work only changed the values ​​of 100 million people, which is really not enough.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ban felt that it might be due to the genre.

Most people subconsciously consider film and television works to be fictional. Fictional things are influenced by real-world perceptions. For example, in a movie, if humanity ends civilization due to its own reasons, some people will think that this is the screenwriter's personal opinion, and that perhaps in reality, humanity would be better off after crossing the line, thus not accepting the inspiration from the plot.

It's like this: no matter how much you advise the people around you not to get involved in any low-risk, high-return financial products, telling them that it's definitely a scam, they will never believe you until they are treated like韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited) or become the ones left holding the bag in a Ponzi scheme, only then will they suddenly realize the truth.

You only learn from your mistakes; you won't know how hot something is until you actually get burned.

Therefore, those whose values ​​can be changed by movies are probably only those who have had similar experiences or who are more likely to accept or understand the views of others.

But at least, Lu Ban felt that 100 million people had listened to him, and that in the future, as the world changes, even more people might pick up the movie again to analyze its plot and content, thereby gaining new understanding.

He was very pleased.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; a great river is formed from countless small streams.

He looked down at the snow, where the gradually melting snow meandered, forming the system's cold, indifferent text.

Chapter 548 Hot Pot! It's delicious too!

On the snow, the three snowmen that Qin Tiantian had just built suddenly became ferocious and terrifying, as if they had been twisted by something. The features on their faces suddenly appeared, but they were definitely not something that humans could just sculpt at will.

Clearly, this is Lu Ban's next mission choice.

He looked at the snowman on the far left.

The snowman looked as if it had grown hair, like an ape, and its two dark eyes reflected Lu Ban's figure.

Singin' in the Rain

After the ascension of Daoist Heming, numerous rumors circulated, among which the story of "Song in the Rain" was the most widely spread.

[But one day, this story was banned by the authorities. Some say it was because the story revealed the secret of Daoist Heming's ascension, some say it was because the story hid the location of Daoist Heming's legacy, and some say that the story contained a curse.]

A merchant in the ruined capital once acquired half a copy of "Singin' in the Rain." The day after the news spread, the merchant and his entire family were murdered, and the half copy of "Singin' in the Rain" vanished without a trace.

You escort a merchant to a town in ruins. The people here have strange eyes. As night falls, a song comes from the shadows.

"I really haven't read it, really, I've never opened it!"

"Daoist Heming, the ruined capital, it's you again."

Lu Ban has met quite a few Daoists of Crane Cry so far. This senior in the cultivation world has probably really come into contact with some forbidden knowledge. Even reciting his name may cause trouble.

However, among the materials Lu Ban has collected is the "Pale Knuckles of Crane Cry Daoist". If Lu Ban wants to further improve himself and strive towards sublimation, he must deal with Crane Cry Daoist.

I'm not quite sure how much connection there is between the script of "Singin' in the Rain" and Daoist Heming, and whether I can find Daoist Heming's remains during the mission.

In addition, Lu Ban was also curious about Twisted Fate's whereabouts. Twisted Fate hadn't come to the last cooperative mission and he hadn't been able to contact him since. If he chose to go to the ruined capital this time, he might be able to find out about Twisted Fate.

Unfortunately, this mission seems to take us to some small town, not the ruined capital, so it might be too far to find out about Trist's situation.

Lu Ban looked at the snowman in the middle.

The snowman looked like it was about to melt, its entire body black and red, stained with blood or some other kind of grime, I don't know.

[Nine Streams]

In a chaotic world, amidst turmoil and turmoil, the great edifice is on the verge of collapse, and the bizarre resurges. All sorts of people, from the most wicked, meet again in the martial world.

[The ability to see ghosts, a storyteller, a paper cutter, a corpse slayer, a star hunter, a mountain mover, and a hundred-mile traveler]

Even the lowest of the low have their own world, and the Mystic Lord is the king of the underworld. Every ten years, all sorts of extraordinary people gather at Jiangcheng Mountain, just to decide who will be the new Mystic Lord.

However, with foreign troops stirring and the turbulent situation becoming increasingly confusing, it remains to be seen whether destiny will come to pass.

"Who agrees with what I just said, and who disagrees?"

After watching this, Lu Ban's first thought was of that classic movie scene.

He carefully read the task description and discovered several key words.

First is Jiangcheng Mountain. Without a doubt, this refers to the mountain next to Jiangcheng, right next to its abandoned town. There were some rumors about this mountain before, and even now, strange things still appear from time to time, making people curious.
