Chapter 228: There's Really an Adam in the Air

'The Steam Church has nothing more to say. When I decided to ascend as a Paragon, I was destined to be their enemy. However, if I could directly replace the God of Steam and Machinery, perhaps I could turn their church into mine?' Lynn contemplated the feasibility of this and found it somewhat possible.

Although the history Lynn altered didn't seem to produce a direct butterfly effect, as seen with Medici in the Fourth Epoch influencing the Fifth Epoch Medici's state, the changes still existed, just between corresponding points without affecting the middle parts.

So, if Lynn ascended as the God of Steam and Machinery in the Fourth Epoch, similar to Medici's case, the most likely outcome would be that the Steam Church would still appear and develop as it has, but the current God of Steam and Machinery might be replaced by Lynn.

'If this happens, there's another issue. My second smurf account hasn't reached this era yet, so theoretically, I wouldn't encounter it, just like I can't see my other two smurf accounts now.' Lynn furrowed his brow as he pondered this.

'But if I replace the God of Steam and Machinery, the deity of this era will lose their Sequence 0 status, just like Medici. This means my smurf account hasn't arrived yet, and the Steam Church, even if their faith shifts to me, will temporarily lack a Sequence 0. Will the Steam Church be without a Sequence 0 for a while?'

'Or perhaps, some unknown change will occur, like my second smurf account crossing time to arrive in this era? Or maybe I, as the main body, will directly use the smurf account's power?'

Lynn found this a worthy topic to explore. His intuition told him that once his smurf account officially ascends to Sequence 0, some special changes might indeed occur.

Just like the change from 0 to 1, before the smurf account ascends to Sequence 0, everything is virtual. Only by stepping into that domain can some additional changes be brought about.

And Lynn always trusted his intuition.

'From this perspective, my idea of ascending as a Great Old One is undoubtedly correct...' Lynn nodded, mentally giving himself a pat on the back before continuing to ponder, 'As for the grumpy Storm pigeon, let's see how he reacts to my words. Even if relations are poor now, we can discuss it at the upcoming Gods' Tea Party...'

Thinking of this, Lynn couldn't help but smile.

Due to the different flow of time, although only a few hours had passed in the Fifth Epoch, several days had gone by in the Fourth Epoch. During this time, Lynn, Bethel, Amon, and Antigonus finally succeeded in creating the special space Lynn wanted.

And now, the Tea Party was very close.

Lynn felt a genuine sense of anticipation for this.

'At the Tea Party, the first thing I need to discuss with the Evernight Goddess is about the God of Steam and Machinery and my ascension as a Paragon...' Lynn decided, setting the tone for the upcoming Gods' Tea Party.

'Then, I'll talk to Solomon and the True Creator about establishing the True Creator's church in the Solomon Empire and about my mechanical angel smurf account. Hopefully, Little Red can gather high-sequence information about the Solomon Empire during this time...'

'As for the Earth Mother, I should discuss the Sanguine and opposing the Mother Goddess of Depravity, using the traditional carrot and stick approach to gain her support...'

'As for the grumpy Storm, I hope he realizes the inevitability of the Original Creator's appearance. But there's no rush to discuss this; I'll talk about the Eternal Blazing Sun first...'

Lynn mentally reviewed the topics to ensure he wouldn't forget them during the Tea Party if he got carried away with enjoyment.

Lynn was self-aware enough to know that while he could handle business amidst fun, forgetting the important matters when engrossed in play was still quite possible.

As for whether the gathered deities and angels would conflict or secretly collude for deals during the Tea Party, Lynn didn't care.

His responsibility was to ensure the Tea Party's safety and that no participants would get hurt. What they might conspire about during the party was not his concern.

'Speaking of which, the last gathering of such big shots was the Rose Redemption, right? I wonder if Evernight and the others will feel a sense of déjà vu.' Recalling the original work, Lynn didn't find anything ominous in this. He put down his teacup and looked at Klein, who suddenly furrowed his brow and seemed puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong, Sherlock? Something happened?"

"My Magician potion seems to have digested a bit more..." Klein answered, genuinely puzzled, "About one-sixth now."

"Doesn't sound like a bad thing?" Lynn said, rubbing his chin. "Maybe this is the high-level feedback from the church, and the previous digestion was from my influence?"

But only one-sixth from three Sequence 3s?

Lynn squinted slightly. Although the gap between Sequence 2 and Sequence 3 is significant, is it really that vast? Or is it the impact of indirectly watching performances?

Or maybe, besides him, there were other high-sequence spectators digesting Klein's potion?

Thinking of a certain wall-squatting expert, Mr. Adam, Lynn blinked and said, "Speaking of which, Sherlock, I've had a feeling for a while. I thought it was a hallucination, but with your potion's digestion progress, it might not be."

"What feeling?" Klein asked, puzzled, as Lynn prepared to tell another spooky story.

"I've always felt like there was another person at our battle scene." Lynn frowned, adopting a confused look:

"It's not the Angel of Secrets, but someone else. I couldn't see them, but I had a feeling, like... like I'm very familiar with the sensation of someone lurking in the air, so even if I couldn't see them, I could vaguely sense them."

Whether Adam was there or not, Lynn decided to pin the suspicion on him first.
