From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 329 Twilight Hermitage Members (Two Bonus Chapters)
Alsørd's pen's power originates from the first sequence of visionaries: the writer.

Although the stories he writes may become reality, they are not essentially created out of thin air, but rather based on the manifestation of the 'writer's' ability to control the mind of every living being by mastering the ocean of the collective unconscious, making them act according to his will, thereby creating various 'coincidences', and ultimately making the development of events conform to his expectations.

However, if the story is illogical and instead uses vague reasons such as "inexplicable" or "strange" to drive the events, the chances of success will be greatly reduced.

Uchiha Muneki was merely using the name of 'Alshogod's Pen' to fool the Lu brothers, Mingfei and Mingze.

Moreover, the Alshurst Pen has a peculiar habit: it can suddenly start writing on its own when its owner isn't looking, and even try to kill the owner.

Thanks to the terrible side effects, Uchiha Muneki had to be extremely careful and specially prepared a room to seal the real 'Alshogod's Pen', lest he become the protagonist of this unfortunate thing's pen one day when he was careless. After all, Zangwell in the original work was badly tricked by it.

In conclusion, what Uchiha Muneki was holding was actually a fake, but that didn't stop him from using it to deceive people.

Sure enough, Lu Mingze was completely stunned, and the expression on his face was quite a sight.

The extremely low air pressure enveloped the surrounding atmosphere, making Lu Mingfei feel very uncomfortable; he really hated this feeling.

Knowing the future was a tragedy, yet feeling powerless to change it, deepened his immense sorrow. Suddenly, he impulsively stepped out from behind Lu Mingze, looked up at the figure that seemed to be a mixture of countless living beings, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Is it really... impossible to change?"

"Very well, that's exactly what I've been waiting for." Uchiha Muneki smiled calmly and said, "Rewriting the story of Alshogod's Pen will come at a great cost."

Lu Mingze understood the hidden meaning in those words, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "The price is high? That means... you can rewrite it?!"

"can."

Uchiha Munetsuki leaned back in his chair, his left hand resting on his cheek, and calmly said, "But why would I do this?"

"Heh, I get it. There's no such thing as a free lunch." Lu Mingze, hands in his pockets, looked at 'Adam' on the main seat, smiled, and said, "Name your price. What price do you want us to pay? Our souls? Our bloodlines? The throne?"

"unnecessary."

Uchiha Munetsu glanced at him, toying with the quill pen, and said indifferently, "The price you can pay is not even one ten-thousandth of the value of Alshogod's pen."

Lu Mingze gritted his teeth, glanced at Lu Mingfei subtly, and then looked back at Adam: "What if it's the Black King's power and strength?"

"Do you think I need it?"

This statement is not an exaggeration; Uchiha Muneki truly looked down on the Black King's power and influence.

Although he is only Sequence 3, with the help of Alshogod's Pen, killing the Black King wouldn't be too difficult, let alone advancing to Sequence 2, Sequence 1, or even Sequence 0 in the future.

Lu Mingze was silent for two seconds, feeling his pride was severely hurt. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, we are just characters in the story, while you are someone who has stepped out of the story, so of course you don't need to."

"That's really a blow to my morale."

Lu Mingfei was somewhat dejected. He slumped to the ground, dejected, and said, "In the end, I'm just a character in someone else's story, and a simp and a loser at that? Are you kidding me? What kind of good person would write a protagonist like this? Shouldn't the protagonist be handsome and powerful?" "Hmm, it's probably just that guy's twisted sense of humor."

Uchiha Muneki truthfully retorted.

It would be quite a spectacle to see characters in a book criticizing the author in return; the level of excitement is almost five stars.

"Was the previous writer the god who created our world?"

Lu Mingze clenched his fists, his heart burning with rage, wishing he could punch that guy in the face!
Since they are all characters in the story, then the person who wrote the 'story' in the previous generation must naturally be the creator god, right?

"From your perspective, calling him the creator god, haha, isn't wrong."

Uchiha Muneki's clear eyes held a hint of mockery as he said, "However, on a larger scale, he merely used the 'Alshogod Pen'."

"And you, who are you?"

Lu Mingze asked in a deep voice, "Since that person created their story, what is the 'Adam' from which the Pen of Alshogod was retrieved?"
“An ordinary ‘spectator’, the founder of the Twilight Hermits.”

Uchiha Munetsuki replied gently, "The meaning of my existence is to follow the trend of the times, wait for the right opportunity, and awaken the true creator."

Lu Mingze, the leader of the "Twilight Hermit Society," suddenly realized something and abruptly turned to look around. The chairs arranged around the bronze table clearly indicated a gathering. He asked, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be other people here, right?"

"They are people who came to the Kingdom of God by chance, inspired by fate."

Uchiha Munezuki smiled slightly and said, "Following the ideals of the Twilight Hermits' Society, in order to awaken the 'original creator' from the long slumber of death and change that tragic fate, we gather here every week to exchange ideas."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingze seemed to have finally seized an opportunity, his eyes brightening as he asked, "What price do I need to pay to join?"

"No price needs to be paid."

Uchiha Muneki smiled slightly. All his preamble had paid off; it was finally time to get to the point.

Nidhogg the Black King, or more accurately, the twin son of the next Black King, would effectively control the dragon world if one could control both of them.

Then, subtly and gradually, faith in the 'original creator' is implanted, so that there is no need to worry about the 'anchor' after ascending to godhood.

Even if the audience's Sequence Zero can use a virtual personality that actually existed to serve as their 'anchor point' to balance divinity and humanity, that doesn't mean they don't need more faith. After all, no one would complain that an 'anchor point' isn't stable enough.

"So, we can also join the Twilight Hermits Society?" Lu Mingze asked again.

Uchiha Munezuki looked calmly at the nervous Lu Mingze and chuckled: "Alright, although you were not inspired by fate, but accidentally entered the divine realm under the influence of Alshogod's pen, you are indeed qualified to join the Twilight Hermits' Society in essence."
