Chapter 360: Changing the Era with The Fool

Lynn wasn't surprised by Klein and Azik's arrival. After all, he knew very well the major events he had caused during the Fourth Epoch. Considering that Azik could synchronously receive memories from that period, it would have been strange if he hadn't come to find him.

In fact, even if Azik hadn't taken the initiative to visit, Lynn had already planned to contact him later. Lynn wanted to observe whether the Fourth Epoch Azik, who was supposed to be free from the shackles of the Death God after faking his death, would still influence the Fifth Epoch Azik or if the impact would be minimal, similar to how Lynn had helped Medici "revive."

Despite his curiosity, as a professional actor, Lynn didn't let any of his thoughts slip through. Instead, he appropriately displayed a look of confusion. When he opened the door, he feigned surprise as he looked at the two men standing there.

"Klein and Mr. Azik, what brings you here?" Lynn's surprise was so genuine that it seemed flawless. He first glanced at Klein and murmured, " Klein, I remember you took on a job today, serving as a bodyguard for a reporter on a covert mission to the East Borough, didn't you?"

That's right—the story had already reached the point of Klein's East Borough journey. According to the original plot, Klein was supposed to accompany reporter Mike to the East Borough, where he would also encounter Old Kohler, who would later become one of Klein's informants. Everything seemed to be moving towards a better life, but it was cut short by the thick fog and the subsequent calamity.

"I've already been to the East Borough with reporter Mike. Over there... sigh," Klein sighed, his expression becoming somewhat wistful. Mr. Azik, who was beside Klein, looked at him with interest.

During this trip to the East Borough, he hadn't encountered any danger, but he had witnessed a side of this world that was completely different from the era he was familiar with—a dark side composed of the poor who could collapse at any moment. Klein sighed because of them, yet he couldn't change their circumstances.

It was truly terrible.

"The East Borough, huh…" Lynn pursed his lips. He could clearly see why Klein sighed, and he wasn't surprised. After pondering for a few seconds, he said, "Perhaps one day, we can change that…"

The abilities of the Planter Pathway could develop agriculture, and advancing the technology tree to modern levels could ensure productivity.

Lynn didn't dare to say he could create a utopian world—that was too difficult, and he never overestimated his abilities.

But as long as productivity improved and food production increased, with well-crafted rules and proper supervision, it should be possible to prevent people from starving, right?

'So, I do need Roselle's knowledge bundle. Of course, the attitudes of other Sequence 0s are also an issue. They certainly wouldn't want me to push the technology tree forward, but that's okay. I'm not Artisan…' Lynn muttered to himself, his smile becoming brighter.

Artisan might be restricted by the Seven Gods and unable to develop technology due to various reasons, but Lynn wasn't afraid.

Even if Mr Bubbles were to go against the world, he won't back down.

"Change it?" Klein was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lynn in surprise. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "It sounds difficult…" But his eyes brightened.

Changing this era?

To be honest, Klein had never seriously considered it today. Or rather, the thought had occasionally crossed his mind while watching the impoverished and hungry people on the streets, but it had always been suppressed—because it seemed impossible.

The Fool knew he didn't have the power to change an entire era yet. He couldn't even take care of himself properly and could only help others within his limited capacity.

Just like hiring Old Kohler as his informant this time, Klein didn't really need such an informant, but he was willing to help the poor old man within his capabilities.

But that's all he could do. After all, Klein was just a Sequence 7 at the moment and was dirt poor, so his options were limited.

But if the opportunity arose, if he had the power, Klein wouldn't mind giving it a try.

"No worries. We might as well give it a shot. He said we're the saviors, didn't he? Even if we're too low in Sequence now to do much, we can still do what we can. When we get stronger, maybe we'll really be able to change this era," Lynn said with a smile, clearly very optimistic. But as he spoke, his expression became more subtle. "Do you think it's feasible to turn the Aurora Order into a charity organization?"

"Huh?" This time, Klein was genuinely dumbfounded, momentarily wondering if he had misheard.

"I shouldn't have misheard, right? Did you just say to turn the Aurora Order into a charity?" This doubt made Klein pause before he looked at Lynn and asked.

"You didn't mishear…" Lynn said, showing some hesitation. "You know I had some connections with the True Creator…"

"So?" Klein, of course, knew about Lynn's complicated history with the True Creator, though he wasn't yet aware that the nature of this entanglement had evolved. Still, it didn't change the fact that Lynn had a deep connection with the True Creator.

"Well, it's something that happened yesterday. The Angel of Secrets approached me again. He said he wanted to transform the Aurora Order from a terrorist organization into a secret organization aligned with order. Then he handed me control of the Backlund branch of the Aurora Order…"

As Lynn spoke, he spread his hands and said helplessly, "His idea is for me to manage and restrain this part of the Aurora Order, guiding them to do good and atone for their past sins…"

Although Ouroboros had yet to bring the message, Lynn believed that the Backlund branch of the Aurora Order would certainly be handed over to him by the True Creator. This kind of confidence was something the little brat still had.

Klein was dumbfounded. He had countless comments to make but held back for a long time before finally saying, "Didn't he deny that the True Creator was his acquaintance?"

"I don't know. Maybe he later admitted it again. After all, we only got part of the early diary…" Lynn spread his hands, looking innocent.

"If it's about this, perhaps I know a little information…" Azik, who had remained silent during the conversation, finally spoke up. His gaze was warm yet complex as it landed on Lynn, filled with indescribable emotion.

"Huh?" Lynn was initially surprised, then seemed to realize something and awkwardly said, "Sorry, Mr. Azik, I got so caught up in the conversation that I forgot you were here…"

As he said this, Lynn's eyes quickly scanned Azik, confirming a fact—Azik's soul had not been fully restored, and he still only had half of his soul.

It was clear that, although Azik should theoretically no longer suffer soul fragmentation due to the Death God's influence, just like how Medici, who should not have remained in Limbo after his resurrection, Azik hadn't been affected by a butterfly effect.

Honestly, it was strange, but Lynn had long been accustomed to such bizarre temporal structures and could now accept them calmly.
