Amid the steam of the industrial revolution, mysteries surge beneath the surface. Cults and secret societies seek the extraordinary in the shadows, while hidden gods gaze upon humanity from the hea...

Chapter 706: Imaginary History (2/2)

Finally, Dorothy relied on the support of the zombies inside Bastis to successfully sneak into the city of Bastis and quickly found the location of the underground library.

Dorothy, dressed in a long robe, strolled in the brightly lit underground library. She quickly came to the stone table in the center of the library and sat down directly. Then, she immediately took over the work inherited by the corpse and continued to quickly compile the chronicle of the Santo Dynasty.

Holding the pen and editing it herself, Dorothy wrote quickly on the blank manuscript paper, while also carefully feeling the changes in herself and her surroundings. Fortunately, Dorothy soon sensed something unusual.

Dorothy felt that when she was writing the history of the Santo Dynasty, she did feel a force that was very similar to herself appearing around her, in her mind and on the tip of her pen. These forces were very weak, but they revealed a very obvious rejection of her.

Under the influence of this force, Dorothy felt that her mind was often distracted and she was not able to concentrate during the process of compiling history. Dorothy had never been like this before when dealing with similar problems. It was obviously related to the "curse". This was affecting Dorothy's process of compiling history books. If the history books were compiled well, this would affect the process of the history books disappearing.

After confirming that she could feel the invisible force, Dorothy began to fully feel the impact of this force on her condition during the editing process, and quickly found some patterns.

Once Dorothy edited history books about the fall of dynasties, that force would appear and slightly influence her editing work to a certain extent. If the content was not related to the fall of dynasties, the feeling of this force would disappear.

During the editing process, Dorothy discovered that there was an experience that interested her very much. This experience came from the situation where Dorothy purely fabricated history and it seemed to be a lie.

Due to the incompleteness of historical materials, Dorothy was unable to create a complete and accurate history. When Dorothy was compiling some historical events, relevant historical materials were often missing, and it was impossible to fully restore a historical event. At this time, Dorothy, like many historians, would guess and compile some content without the support of historical materials, and use purely fictional content to fill in the gaps in historical materials.

When Dorothy was making up this history, the mysterious force that interfered with history appeared beside her again, but it just appeared and did not interfere with Dorothy, unlike when Dorothy was editing the content of the destruction of the kingdom. Unless the content written by Dorothy finally led to the destruction of the dynasty.

'When I edited ordinary history, that force would not appear. When I edited the content about the fall of the dynasty, this force would appear and try to interfere with me. And when I edited the purely fabricated false history, that force would come back, but it would not interfere with my editing process...

'Why... would such a situation occur when fabricating false history?'

After discovering the most surprising phenomenon, Dolusi wondered in her heart, and an idea arose in her heart.

'History is a record and measure of time, but history is written by people, and people cannot record everything that has happened as history 100%.

'A fabricated false story... as long as it is recognized by enough people, after countless years, it can become real history.

"This force has paid attention to the process of fabricating non-existent history, but it has not directly interfered. It feels like this force condones the fabrication of history... As long as this fabricated history does not lead the dynasty to destruction..."

Sitting at the edge of the stone table, Dorothy thought seriously, and suddenly she had a rather wonderful idea, that is, if she did not write the history of the dynasty's destruction, which was taboo for that power, when she was compiling history, but purely made up history, so that the dynasty that had been destroyed in reality would only continue in the history books, what would it be like? After all, making up history was the default action of that power, wasn't it? Then let's see what would happen if we completely deviated from reality and made up history?

Dorothy immediately stopped compiling normal history and deleted all the parts about the destruction of kingdoms. She then began to edit purely false pseudo-history, allowing the Santo Dynasty to avoid the fate of being destroyed in previous generations and continue only in false history books.

Dorothy activated her corpse puppet and began to make up stories about the third and fourth kings of the Santo Dynasty. They wrote very quickly, and after Dorothy had extended the life of the Santo Dynasty in the history books, when she started writing again, her own "Qi" spirituality began to show signs of consumption!

Seeing her spiritual energy being consumed, Dorothy was startled, and then, as if she thought she had made the right decision, she immediately began to quickly make up a history book. In Dorothy's history book, starting with the first king of the Santo Dynasty, Santis, and his son, Dorothy made up four kings who successively inherited the Santo Dynasty. The last king was named Hayak by Dorothy.

Dorothy wrote furiously all the way and finally extended the history of the Santo Dynasty from ten years ago to the present in her history book. When she put the date of editing the history to today, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Dorothy, who was hiding on the bench, rubbed her shoulders. After stretching herself, feeling a little tired, she slowly sat down, leaning her back slightly back until she rested on the soft back cushion.

"Wait... a back cushion? I should be sitting on a hard stone bench, where does the back cushion come from? And why does it feel a little soft under my butt..."

Dorothy thought as she rubbed her eyes as she looked up, and just as she raised her head completely, she saw a scene that surprised her.

The library...is still that underground library, but the scene inside is still completely different.

The exquisite marble floor was spotlessly clean and covered the entire ground. Countless bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books. The bookshelves and books were intact without any damage. The original stone table in the center of the library was turned into a long wooden table. Around the wooden table were countless exquisitely crafted wooden benches, and various small exhibits and widgets were distributed around the library.

Compared with the place where Dorothy lived before, the underground library is now completely brand new, as if it had been transformed from a rough house to a fully decorated one in an instant.

Dorothy opened her mouth slightly and looked at the scene in front of her. She could see that the library in front of her had suddenly turned into a standard underground library in the blink of an eye. What's more important was that in this underground library, there were many different figures in robes. They were flipping through books everywhere, as if they were looking up some information. These people who suddenly appeared were not Dorothy's corpse dolls.

"What on earth is going on here..."

Dorothy was confused as she watched the sudden change in front of her. At this moment, a pair of young men in robes passed by Dorothy. They seemed to be students. One of them opened his mouth and asked softly to the other one beside him.

"It's you? I remember you didn't have anything to do today. Why are you here in this library?"

"Of course, it's to collect information for Mr. Novi. As you know, he has been promoted to the Royal Advisor of His Majesty Hakya, and he is very busy. As a student, I naturally have to help him share more of the pressure."
