I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, green beans with cured pork, hot and sour shredded potatoes, radish and meatball soup—simple dishes that taste like home.

They ate while watching TV.

"Speaking of which, are the things from Jiangcheng Mountain still there?"

Lu Ban looked at the middle-aged women dancing in the square in the news and suddenly asked a question.

"Yes, but not really."

Feng Yu gave a cryptic answer.

Before Lu Ban could ask any further questions, she explained it herself.

"You must have seen those great beings in their sealed state before. This state of blind ignorance is mostly the work of a greater being of a higher position. Or rather, those sealed Great Old Ones became like this when they touched the truth because they were expanding recklessly and trying to usurp power."

"Once interfered with by that great being, all the Great Old Ones will become like that. After that, their enemies or some strange beings will reinforce the seal. Of course, just as pollution is contagious, so is the state of blind ignorance. Therefore, most Great Old Ones are unwilling to get close to the sealed being. Thus, once sealed, they are usually unable to escape."

"What if someone wanted to release them?"

Lu Ban asked.

"Indeed, there are some who want to release these Great Old Ones. Some are former followers of these Great Old Ones, or fools influenced by fragments of documents circulating in other realms who try to summon these beings. Others are other Great Old Ones acting for certain interests. But most Great Old Ones have gone mad, and their behavior is unpredictable."

Feng Yu replied.

"Are there any Great Old Ones who specifically enjoy doing this kind of thing?"

Lu Ban asked again tentatively. The reason he didn't explain directly was that he was worried that if Feng Yu didn't know about the existence of the dark-skinned man, the knowledge he shared would corrupt Feng Yu.

Although Lu Ban felt that Feng Yu was a seasoned veteran who had seen it all, and that the dark-skinned man must have seen a lot as well, he still released information little by little just to be on the safe side.

"There must be very few Great Old Ones like this."

Feng Yu rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment.

"But there are those in higher positions who take pleasure in this."

What kind of is it?

Lu Ban was curious.

"...You encountered it?"

Feng Yu quickly realized what was happening.

"Correct."

"Wait, don't say anything yet, let me think about it."

At this moment, Feng Yu also thought of the same thing as Lu Ban.

The beings that Lu Ban encountered and the ones he knew might not be the same.

You have an apple, I have an apple, we share it, and it's still just one apple.

But if you have some knowledge and I have some knowledge, and we share it, bam, everyone's head explodes.

In foreign lands, sharing knowledge can be a dangerous act.

Especially news concerning the Great Old Ones, or even beings above the Great Old Ones.

While Feng Yu was thinking, Lu Ban was also thinking.

Soon, he remembered a name.

Correa.

Inside the temple, the blond man had called out this name when the dark-skinned man appeared, and Lu Ban felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

Upon careful recollection, he realized he had heard the name before.

At Renji Private Hospital in Nanhua, the hospital director who attempted to summon the Great Old Ones learned how to summon alien monsters at the instigation of a man named Correa, and subsequently went mad.

The being that the dean wanted to summon was the Great Old One bound by the black hole in the wasteland.

Similarly, the destruction of human civilization in the wasteland was due to the wormhole connecting to the Old Ones, which brought disaster upon them. The madness and derangement of the wasteland's inhabitants may also have been caused by this man.

If these two names are the same, then it means that this man, who goes by the alias Correa, has tried many times to get others to break the seal of the Great Old Ones.

This also explains why He did not choose to directly break Fang Geng's seal, but instead left directly.

Because if He were to directly attempt to break the seal, He would be affected by that blind folly and become just like the one who sealed it.

That's why He keeps instigating ignorant humans to try to break the seal again and again.

No wonder someone of such a high status needs to act in human form and interact with mortals.

His seemingly rational and elegant demeanor was not true rationality, but rather a manifestation of extreme madness. When a person is too normal, he may very well be insane to the core!

Moreover, this person, who is constantly releasing the seals of the Old Ones and causing trouble everywhere, certainly has nothing to do with rationality.

"Do you remember the person mentioned by Nanhua Private Renji Hospital? I met him this time."

Lu Ban said.

"he?"

Feng Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"It seems we know the same thing."

“I cannot tell you His name, but I can tell you that He is an Old One who far surpasses the Old Ones, a God above Gods. What you see is just one of His hundreds of incarnations.”

"Some of His incarnations are giant bats, ghostly like nightmares; some are solemn and indifferent kings, dressed in fine clothes and handsome in appearance; some have graceful figures, alluring and deadly; and some are indescribable, beyond the direct gaze of ordinary people."

Upon hearing Feng Yu's words, Lu Ban noticed some of the words.

"and many more……"

He had seen a similar figure in the ruined capital; it was a woman wearing a cheongsam who covered her face with a fan.

In the ruined capital, there are clearly some sealed Great Old Ones waiting to be released.

Even in this world, there have been other chosen ones from other realms who have invaded, attempting to break the shackles on those sealed deities.

Lu Ban increasingly suspected that the "god" in the Chosen Ones might refer to a god of that man's level.

For their own purposes, they arranged various tasks for humanity, some to release the sealed Great Old Ones, and others to prevent them.

This is all because of that supreme being, a being that makes people blind and foolish.

Lu Ban felt that he was gradually understanding everything.

Chapter 579 Mock Documentary

Having reached this point, Lu Ban had roughly figured out the current development strategy.

First, prevent those sealed beings in your own world from being awakened. As for why there are so many sleeping Great Old Ones in this world, Lu Ban has two explanations.

The first explanation is that this world is very special, and perhaps something is sealed in the deepest core of the earth. All the Great Old Ones, in their pursuit of higher knowledge and corruption, came here, only to fall into a trap and be sealed away.

Another explanation is that this world is actually quite ordinary, and the number of Great Old Ones far exceeds Lu Ban's imagination. Just like the sun, at first glance, the sun seems very special and powerful, but in reality, every star in the sky is a sun. The number of Great Old Ones existing in Lu Ban's world is actually just average, so it's nothing to be surprised about.

According to the Wasteland, the Wasteland world has only one Ancient Ruler of the Mud, or rather, the power of that one Ancient Ruler far surpasses that of the others.

In this world, and in the ruins or the Night Kingdom, it is quite normal for one superpower and many strong powers, or for several sealed Great Old Ones to exist in a foreign land, which confirms the latter theory.

As for awakening other ancient beings from other realms, although there are similar missions in the Silent Lands, Lu Ban felt that the risks were too great.

Those Great Old Ones might destroy that realm in an instant, but similarly, the corruption they bring will affect other realms. Their followers don't distinguish between friend and foe, and the corruption in other realms will only worsen.

Secondly, Lu Ban truly understood the truth that only pollution can combat pollution.

Simply put, contamination from different Great Old Ones can be viewed as different roads and railway tracks.

When humanity is subjected to pollution, it's like being on a train, accelerating faster and faster forward.

But then different types of pollution would come in, and the roads diverged.

At this point, the train's speed will decrease; the more branching paths there are, the slower the train will be.

Even if the train takes a different path of pollution, it will continue to move forward without slowing down. But if there are enough forks in the road, the train's speed will approach zero on a large time scale.

In fact, even in the world today, billions of years from now, as the sun ages, all of humanity on Earth will perish.

If pollution spreads on this scale, then landslides are perfectly acceptable.

After all, if humanity hasn't found a way to combat pollution after billions of years, then so be it; at least we've had our glorious moments.

This is the result of Lu Ban seeing the corruption on Xuan Jun intertwined with and fighting against the corruption on the ancient ruler.

Therefore, if Lu Ban allows this world to continue moving forward, then the pollution from the world's origin will drag the entire world headed wildly towards the deepest pollution.

However, if many sources of pollution are introduced at the same time, and these sources of pollution affect each other, then the rate at which the world is eroded can be slowed down.

Lu Ban is currently working on this step as well.

He brought several exotic forms of pollution to this world through film, where they intertwined and slowed down the rate of contamination.

Therefore, what Lu Ban needs to do next is to continuously deepen the impact of pollution on various parts of this world, and at the same time, help other alien realms achieve similar effects if possible.

He looked at the desktop, where the winding carvings on the wooden surface formed the cold, indifferent text of the system.

[Career Development Tasks]

[Tear apart the illusion of peace and tell the audience the truth of history. Although the effect is small, there will always be some people who choose to believe. The story is about to begin a new chapter, and you cannot stand still. Move forward, move forward by any means necessary.]

[Requirement: Reveal the truth and gain belief: /100000]

[“Conspiracy theories, all conspiracy theories!”] Gu Cao

"How do I accomplish this?"

Lu Ban felt that the career development tasks were becoming increasingly absurd.

The previous mission was to change everyone's values, and this time it's to reveal the truth and make people believe it. Each mission is more difficult than the last.

If previous disaster movies could change people's perceptions of the world and life, then Lu Ban's mission this time is quite different.

After all, changing one's worldview requires shifting one's perspective from one idea to another. For example, if someone used to think sweet rice dumplings were delicious, Lu Ban could use various methods to make them think savory rice dumplings are delicious. There are many ways to do this, such as making food vlogs to promote them, or directly stuffing savory rice dumplings into their mouths and making them say "it smells so good!", or simply banishing all sweet rice dumplings from the world. That would achieve the goal.

But this mission is clearly meant to make people believe that something exists in this world.

For example, classic examples include Area 51, Roswell, the Loch Ness Monster, the Shennongjia Wild Man, the Bermuda Triangle, and the Crystal Skull.

Actually, there are quite a lot.
