I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 580 - 580 579. Fake Documentary_1

Chapter 580: 579. Fake Documentary_1 Chapter 580: 579. Fake Documentary_1 By this point, Lu Ban had roughly clarified his current developmental train of thought.

First, he needed to prevent those sealed beings from his own world from being awakened. As for why this world held so many slumbering Ancient Overlords, Lu Ban had two explanations.

One explanation was that this world was very special, perhaps deep at the core something was sealed, and all the Ancient Overlords had come chasing after higher knowledge and Pollution only to fall into a trap and get sealed themselves.

The other explanation was that this world was actually quite common, and the number of Ancient Overlords far exceeded Lu Ban’s expectations. It was like the sun; at first glance, the sun seems unique and powerful, but in reality, every star in the sky is a sun, and the number of Ancient Overlords in Lu Ban’s world was just average—nothing extraordinary.

From the perspective of the Wasteland, there was only one mud-like Ancient Overlord in the Wasteland’s world, or rather, the power of that one Ancient Overlord far surpassed the others.

Whereas in this world, as well as the Abandoned Capital and the Night Country, it was quite normal for one to surpass many strong ones, or for several sealed Ancient Overlords to exist in a Foreign Domain, which confirmed the latter theory.

As for awakening the Ancient Overlords of other Foreign Domains, despite the Silent Lands holding similar missions, Lu Ban felt it posed a great risk.

Those Ancient Overlords could potentially destroy that Foreign Domain in an instant, but likewise, the Pollution they brought would affect other Foreign Domains, and their clans were not so clear about friend and foe; the Pollution in the Foreign Domains would only get more severe.

Next, Lu Ban truly understood the profound truth that only Pollution can counteract Pollution.

Put simply, Pollution from different Ancient Overlords could be seen as different railway tracks.

When humanity is subjected to one kind of Pollution, it’s like being on a train, accelerating faster and faster towards the front.

But then, different Pollutions begin to overlap, and divergences appear on the road.

At that moment, the train’s speed starts to slow down, and the more forks there are, the slower it gets.

Even if the train continues on another Pollution’s track, it keeps moving forward without slowing down, but as long as there are enough diverging paths, the train’s speed will approach zero over a large scale of time.

In fact, even in the current world, after a few billion years, with the aging of the sun, everyone on Earth would likewise be done for.

If Pollution spreads on this scale, then Lu Ban could totally accept it.

After all, if humanity has not found a way to combat Pollution in several billion years, then death would be inevitable, but at least they would have had their moment of splendor.

This was Lu Ban’s conclusion after observing the interwoven and conflicting Pollutions on Mysterious Monarch and the Ancient Overlords.

Therefore, if Lu Ban let this world continue progressing, then the world’s original Pollution would drag the entire world racing towards the deepest Pollution.

But if many sources of Pollution were introduced at the same time and they influenced each other, then it would be possible to slow down the rate at which this world succumbed to Corrosion.

This was also what Lu Ban was currently doing.

Pollution from several Foreign Domains was brought to this world through the medium of films, intertwining with each other, slowing down the rate at which it becomes polluted.

Therefore, what Lu Ban needed to do next was to constantly increase the influence of the various Pollutions in this world, while also helping other Foreign Domains to achieve similar effects when possible.

He looked at the desktop, where the meandering scratches formed the System’s cold and indifferent text.

[Career Development Task]

[Tear apart the facade of peace, tell the audience the true history. Though the effect is minimal, there will always be some who choose to believe. The story is about to begin a new chapter, and you cannot stand still. Move forward, advance by any means necessary.]

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

[“Conspiracy theories, it’s all conspiracy theories!”]

“How am I supposed to complete this?”

Lu Ban felt that the [Career Development Task] had become more and more preposterous.

The previous task had been to change everyone’s perspectives, and this time he had to reveal the truth and make people believe, each task more difficult than the last.

If the previous disaster films had made people change their views on the world, on life, then Lu Ban’s current task was markedly different.

After all, changing perspectives meant shifting from one viewpoint to another, like convincing someone who used to think sweet rice dumplings were tasty that the savory ones were better. There were many ways to do this: make a food vlog to promote it, directly stuff savory rice dumplings into their mouths to give them a “delicious” epiphany, or completely eradicate sweet rice dumplings from the world, ensuring there were none left.

But this task clearly involved making people believe in the existence of something in the world.

For instance, the classic Area 51, Roswell, Loch Ness Monster, Shennongjia Wild Man, Bermuda Triangle, Crystal Skull, and so on.

And to be honest, there were quite a few of them.

Take the Crystal Skull, although it was a fabricated legend and artifact, it still fooled many people. It was widely circulated in various street stall magazines and radio shows. Lu Ban remembered that as a child, he often read those kinds of magazines that told legendary stories, so convincing that he nearly believed them himself.

But with the development of the internet, the advancement of technology, and the advent of various filming equipment, people started to notice that those strange and bizarre rumors were becoming less frequent.

Entering the new century, even alien sighting incidents were scarce.

So, if Lu Ban had been around decades ago, he could have relied on various means to spread knowledge and get people to believe.

But now, even if presented in the form of a film, people would subconsciously deem it a story rather than reality.

Luckily, the number of people required for this task was not large, only a hundred thousand.

Get a group of people to believe first.

Lu Ban sank into thought.

He decided to open the materials he had received to look for inspiration.

Because of the high level of completion, the content of the materials was quite rich.

There were even a few video files labeled “Temple” that Lu Ban dared not click on.

In addition, there was some background information on the Inheritors of the Ninth River and their subsequent stories.

As Lu Ban reviewed these, he suddenly had some ideas.

Could he find the Inheritors of the Ninth River and have them tell the stories of the past?

Although the current Inheritors of the Ninth River were scattered around the world, they must have had some contact with their elders. Regardless of whether the audience would believe in these extraordinary powers, stories told by actual people were always more compelling.

Lu Ban quickly conceived of a pseudo-documentary unfolding, blending reality with the past and fiction. By combining narration on the one hand with the experiences of the Inheritors of the Ninth River on the other, he aimed to immerse the viewers.

Having thought this through, Lu Ban now faced a problem.

How to find those scattered Inheritors of the Ninth River.
