Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1284 The Origin of the Ancient Notes

[Ancient Notes] From the very beginning, it was the "divine weapon" held by the first patriarch of the Buyetian family, not the first one to be obtained by Professor Dortmund.

The three sacred artifacts handed down from the Buye Tian family are the "Book of Heaven", "Scroll of Earth" and "Book of Man".

The Heavenly Book can store all natural laws and natural creations, and modify and utilize them.

The Earth Scroll can record information about all man-made objects, including alchemy, machinery, and crafts, and can project them out at any time.

Human books can record a person's thoughts and emotions.

It is not difficult to guess from the functions of these three "artifacts" that they have different origins from other artifacts passed down in the family - they were not bestowed by gods.

These three artifacts are essentially imitations of the [Ancient Notes] made by the first generation head of the family using the "Supreme Alchemy".

but……

[Ancient Notes] were also not given by the God of Wisdom.

The God of Wisdom has never bestowed any divine artifacts on His chosen one or the Buyetian family.

As for where the [Ancient Notes] came from, even Yong Lian from Nevernight didn't know...

But what she was sure of was that this thing did not belong to the wasteland.

After the creation of the Heavenly Book, the Earthly Scroll, and the Human Book, the existence of the [Ancient Notes] has been almost erased, becoming a secret known only to successive family heads.

After all, although [Ancient Notes] is the authentic version, due to some unshakable "seal", it is not as useful as the three imitations.

But the successive patriarchs of Nevernight have never stopped their research on it—although no one has discovered more information than the first patriarch.

Until... this notebook was passed into the hands of Yonglian of Buyetian.

She vaguely sensed the true nature of this notebook—it was not a divine artifact with powerful alchemical activity within the alchemical system, but rather some kind of high-level power that was higher than the entire alchemical system and even on par with the gods she served.

That is...

This notebook seems to be able to directly call upon a certain authority that does not belong to any god at certain times!

After realizing this...

Buyetian Yonglian made a bold move.

She was going to throw this notebook away...

Throw it into another world through the "border gate".

After listening to Buye Tian Yonglian's narration.

Two thoughts popped up in Lin Yu's mind...

Although he did help Buyetian Yonglian kill many people last time, and through the relationship with Fu Luo, he might be considered a "trustworthy" person to the patriarch...

But has he really been trusted to the point where he can listen to these secrets that only the head of the Buyetian family is worthy of knowing?

Another thought is...

"Why?"

He was genuinely puzzled by Buyetian Yonglian's logic.

A [prop] that can directly touch the power fell into his hands, and it was a treasure that was passed down and studied by generations in his family. Why was this guy's first reaction to throw it into another world?

Buye Tian Yonglian seemed to have expected Lin Yu to have such questions.

"Of course, it's because this authority is very similar to the authority wielded by my Lord."

"Although I don't know what it is, after I noticed this, I felt that it might be 'dangerous'."

"I cannot predict the impact that the existence of a similar authority in this world will have on my Lord... Therefore, I can only choose the safest method and send it away through the border gate."

After hearing this, Lin Yu continued, "But did this plan fail in the end, or... did you change your mind?"

After all, Lin Yu obtained this [Ancient Notes] in the Wasteland Realm.

Buyetian Yonglian sighed: "It is my fault. This notebook cannot even get close to the border gate."

"So, I had to make another plan... I handed it directly to my most trusted confidant and placed it in a place where it was likely to attract visitors from other worlds, hoping that they would take it away."

"Although it's much later than I expected," Buyetian Yonglian looked at Lin Yu, "but... you proved that my plan was indeed correct."

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing another point from Buyetian Yonglian's words: "So, the purpose of establishing the 'Fear' project is that I have misunderstood the cause and effect, right?"

"This project isn't actually about using alien visitors to develop energy, but is designed specifically for them?"

Buyetian Yonglian shook his head: "No, I know very well that any arrangement targeting visitors from other worlds and the high-level will behind you called 'Game' is self-defeating."

"I just use it minimally... The fear of this project, which I first created, is really a new emotional energy."

Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Yonglian: "This is actually the question I want to ask besides Fu Luo...about the fear project."

"Although most of the records have been erased, as I delve deeper, I'm increasingly discovering...there's a key discrepancy between the records of the Fear Project within Veritas and the actual situation."

"According to company records, this type of emotional research was initiated by Professor Dot, an independent researcher with Level A clearance."

"But... in my opinion, the actual controller and even initiator of this project may be you, Your Excellency."

"And you just mentioned... you gave the [Ancient Notes] to your confidant back then—and I obtained the [Ancient Notes] through Professor Dot's disciple, Will Valetti."

"Does this mean that Professor Dot is actually your confidant, and that his research on the Terror Project is essentially your spokesperson and shield?"

After hearing Lin Yu's analysis, Buyetian Yonglian readily admitted, "Yes, I am indeed the actual founder of the Terror Project, but Dortmund is not a complete cover as you said... He himself is also an assistant I trust very much."

"Speaking of which, I'm actually curious... How did you learn about the Ghost Ship project? And how did you determine that I was planning to use visitors from another world?"

"Most of what Huo Le just told me didn't surprise me...but this one really took me by surprise."

Lin Yu did not hide too much: "In this world, the traces of the Ghost Ship have indeed completely disappeared, but... Lord Yong Lian, don't forget, I am a visitor from another world who can travel to other worlds."

"Of course I saw this Ghost Ship in another world."

"However... I'm actually not aware of the part about planning to use visitors from other worlds. I just made up a plausible possibility to convince Lord Huo Le."

"I wasn't even sure it was really related to Project Fear."

Buye Tian Yonglian was really surprised when he heard this.

"So... those words that Huo Le relayed to you were all made up by you on the spur of the moment?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "No, it was premeditated."

"Honestly, I didn't expect that these would actually collide with the truth... What a coincidence!"
