Chapter 156: Chapter 147 Let the 【Game】 Anchor to Our Side

Humans on this side, who could traverse the timeline with Strange Objects, there were indeed a few.

But, all required a significant price to pay...

Moreover, a person traveling to the past could never return.

Even if a few people were sent back, what use would it be?

A person’s life is only once, whereas the "Game" can manipulate the timeline an infinite number of times, the tolerance for error between the two is not on the same level.

Furthermore, traveling back to the past would likely only create a new parallel universe, a new timeline.

This new timeline would not intersect with the current one and would not alter the current future.

Therefore, nobody entertained this idea; otherwise, if someone coincidentally traveled through time, wouldn’t the timeline change haphazardly? The changes would only affect the parallel universe.

The complexity of the timeline is not something that humans can toy with at will.

Number 2 was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "There’s another important issue, whether to disclose the existence of the ’Game’ to the entire world? Since it has started to anchor our world’s history, there are considerable risks involved no matter what."

"Should all of humanity collectively forget this part of history, to weaken its anchoring?"

"Or should all of humanity unite to fight this Demon God?"

Forgetting this part of history, if only executed by Great Xia Country, wouldn’t be significant.

Due to the existence of the internet, cultural exchanges between regions are quite frequent, and closing off the country would only lead to its own backwardness.

Even if Great Xia Country blocked this content, it would quickly re-enter from abroad.

It would require a global effort, employing memory erasing methods, to have any significant meaning.

At this moment, Number 13, in charge of international work, interjected, "We just received an invitation for cooperation, an international organization has invited us to jointly investigate this newly surfaced unknown Demon God with the ability to manipulate the timeline."

"But according to my understanding of foreign matters," Number 2 suggested, "collective forgetting is impossible. They have experience cooperating with ’God’ and won’t readily give up collaboration with the ’Game’..."

"After all, the ’Game’ hasn’t shown any obvious harmfulness."

The Black-clothed Guard has a long history, filled with talented individuals.

But foreign Supernatural Organizations combined also have numerous geniuses, possessing many exceptionally talented individuals.

The Black-clothed Guard was merely one step ahead in being aware of the ’Game’. Additionally, with the ongoing Blood Demon issue unresolved, it consumed the attention of the majority.

At the moment, there was no remaining energy for foreign investigations.

But if they ever come around, what would the foreign organizations do once they learn of the ’Game’s existence?

Of course, they would... cling to the strong!

This was undoubted.

The waters of this world are too deep, maintaining the current meager and fleeting peace is truly like walking on thin ice, trembling with fear.

A pawn needs the awareness of being a pawn and must know its place and capabilities. Just like Paradise Village’s indigenous people, they were used as anchors, yet unaware of it, thus becoming the sacrificial lambs in the battle of anchorage, turning into batches of harvested subjects.

But a pawn also has the potential to become a Chess Player.

Westerners, relying on ’God’, maintained the balance of anchorage with the Demon God ’God’, achieving considerable success.

Western society, through a series of measures, advanced secular reforms, controlling the ’faith anchorage’ power, thereby preventing ’God’ from excessively surfacing.

On the other hand, they enabled ’God’ to actively maintain its power, to stabilize the faith anchorage of this world.

Thus, in the long-term cooperation, they achieved a win-win situation.

This is clearly Chess Player-level Wisdom.

The ’Game’ seems more temperate than ’God’, easier to cooperate with, hence the Westerners’ choice to collaborate, was predictable.

"Our side, however, lacks such complex operational experience."

"So, if we simply announced it, wouldn’t it be letting others take advantage of it?"

Amid diverse opinions, the members of the Black-clothed Guard were all at a loss, unsure of how to decide.

"Since we don’t have any particularly good solutions, I suggest taking the initiative, don’t rack our brains to stop the ’Game’ from anchoring history. We lack the ability!"

Number 24 from the Great Science Academy said, "Our world has long been infiltrated like a sieve, and we cannot even ascertain the exact number of Demon Gods."

"But the anchorage battles among Demon Gods have been ongoing since ancient times. The Wars of Gods, the Struggles of Yan and Huang, the Crusades to the East, each time resulted in the devastation of living beings, because of the battles for anchorage, causing severe turmoil."

"One more ’Game’ makes no difference, one less also doesn’t matter. Humanity won’t easily perish, and that’s also a reality."

"The world has been peaceful for a long time, but in reality, not even a hundred years of peace have passed. Sheep proliferating excessively in the prairie almost forget the lions stalking on the outside. So, taking shelter under a powerful protector is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Then tell me, what do you mean by taking the initiative?" Number 2 inquired, "Speak freely, no need to hold back."

Number 24 pondered for a moment, then said, "Based on the current information, that little boy in the village is suspected to be Number 12’s elder brother, along with the only surviving man from the expedition team, Pan Hao. Among them, there’s a high probability that one of them is the Avatar of the ’Game’. I am currently leaning towards the little boy."

"They did something in the village to try to prevent the rise of the Blood Demon."

"Since both individuals are from our Great Xia Country, if they indeed accomplish this grand feat, then what harm would it do to record their deeds in history?"

"Perhaps we might be able to use this to anchor the power of the ’Game’, making it easier to enter into that Game Training Camp!"

"Would borrowing a bit of Demon God’s power be a bad thing?"

"Do we worry about the sky falling every day? Is it useful?"

"The world will not end because of this; I believe it will not. This world is very complicated, and when the true end of days comes, I believe all kinds of unbelievable phenomena will occur."

Everyone was stunned.

Comrade No. 24’s train of thought was truly unusual!

He was still thinking about the Game Training Camp, wanting to mooch some resources!

The current difficulty of entering the training camp was too great, having to climb more than two thousand steps of Heaven’s staircase... This was not something ordinary people could achieve.

But if the "Game" was voluntarily anchored here, the difficulty of entry would inevitably be greatly reduced.

The value of the training camp could then be demonstrated.

"Isn’t this risk too great..."

"Risk? What in the world is without risk?" Comrade No. 24’s voice rose, "Risk always correlates directly with benefit!"

"If we don’t anchor it, naturally some foreign organization will, will the risk decrease?"

"It won’t, right?"

"As long as we live in the same world, we still have to bear the risks and not enjoy the benefits."

"Just like ’God,’ if ’God’ were to surface, wouldn’t we be in trouble?"

"We have borne the risk of ’God’ for thousands of years and have never gained any benefit."

"It is inappropriate to simply give this opportunity to other countries."

Following this, No. 24 transmitted several images on the screen.

The Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Taishan.

A special segment in the history of Great Xia, it could even be said to be a part of history.

Conducting sacrifices at Mount Taishan meant acting under the very eyes of the Heavenly Father, which held significant meaning.

The practice of conducting sacrifices at Mount Taishan dated back to the Neolithic period, appearing more like a long-standing and ancient custom.

Not everyone was qualified to perform the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Taishan; without self-awareness, one would instead be ridiculed by the world.

Like Duke Huan of Qi, who thought highly of his achievements, believing he surpassed his predecessors, thus harboring the desire to perform the ceremony.

However, Guan Zhong dissuaded him time and again, because in his view, those worthy of performing the ceremony had unique accomplishments, such as Yu the Great managing water and Shennong tasting various herbs, but Duke Huan of Qi had none of these commendable merits.

Thus, Duke Huan of Qi had to squash this thought...

The greatest failure of the Fengshan Ceremony was left by Song Zhenzong.

The accord at Chenyuan, which can be called the biggest stain in the history of the Song Dynasty, yet the initiator did not feel ashamed. While Song Zhenzong was extorting money from his people to present gifts to Liao, he boldly carried out the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Taishan.

Therefore, the shameless Song Zhenzong was permanently ridiculed by later generations.

In the tradition of the Black-clothed Guard, recording history at Mount Taishan did not necessarily need a "positive meaning;" "negative events" could also be recorded,

provided the impact was enormous.

Because this piece of history might involve certain supernatural phenomena, such as fate, national fortune, geomancy, and other yet-to-be-explained mysterious phenomena.

"If they truly accomplish ’preventing the Subordinate Demon God from surfacing,’ this merit is indeed considerable, and it’s quite normal to record it in history."

"No matter what role the ’Game’ played, judging by the results, as long as these few people did good deeds, we are bound to record it."

"Um, this way, the ’Game’ is highly likely to be anchored onto our land."

Comrade No. 24 adjusted his glasses and said, "We can’t possibly really force ourselves to forget how to deal with the ’Blood Demon’; that would be idiotic."

"Better to handle history correctly and let the ’Game’ anchor onto our side. Let the whole world bear the risk together."

"And by the way, we could also use that Game Training Camp..."

A heated discussion emerged in the conference room.

The Black-clothed Guard was in unprecedented turmoil, and everyone had to speak up.

Even the usually reserved Ms. No. 28 Immortal Bean, was forced to say a few words.

"I... I think... we can... try..."

This clash between radical and conservative could affect the coming decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years!

...

...

As the Black-clothed Guard was immersed in distress and the supernatural organizations around the world were in chaos...

Wang Hao was joyfully working on problems!

With fresh lemon slices added to chilled cola, it was truly a mortal pleasure.

After taking a sip, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Ah, so refreshing!"

He was researching where exactly he went wrong, causing the Blood Demon to surface even more fiercely.

Pencil in hand, he was pointing at a thick stack of ’Passing Strategies,’ pondering the ultimate cause.
