"Commonly known as 'eunuch'."
A quick search of the author's information revealed, unsurprisingly, that they were deceased.
"Is this what you mean by information leak?"
The mind responds.
[The correct assessment is that the current phenomenon is caused by information generated by the host's actions in the other world flowing unilaterally into the current world, and it does not play a decisive role.]
This is one of the reasons why Lin Yi remained unmoved after hearing Altair's almost "mind-blowing" words. After all, he had already imagined similar situations in advance, so if it happened again, it wouldn't be considered chaotic.
Moreover, this information leak doesn't seem to be entirely without benefit...
"In other words, in the eyes of the people of this world, I should be at the stage where I have just obtained the 'Eye of the Root'."
Numerous fragmented wars have demonstrated the severe consequences that intelligence asymmetry can lead to, and the current situation has just fulfilled this premise. One can imagine that if future "enemies" attempt to use this existing information against them, Lin Yi's side should be able to give them a considerable surprise.
"The premise is hostility."
He shook his head, refocusing his attention on his true purpose in coming into this world: the Golden Clan.
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Lin Yi searched the search bar and all the results were about "gold". The items related to "Gold Clan" were completely blank. Undeterred, Lin Yi then searched for key information about the Gold Clan's home planet, the Silver Clan, the Bronze Clan, and the Iron Clan, but the results were also blank.
"Either they're hiding too well, or they haven't stayed long and are just using this world as a transit point."
Since the entity in this world is merely an information body that is constantly consuming resources, it is impossible to track it down even if one wanted to. Therefore, Lin Yi simply put this problem aside for the time being and instead began to study the power of this world, which is different from all the systems he had ever encountered.
The power of recognition.
In essence, the power of recognition is closer to a belief system than the power of activity. Both are subjective forces that change the objective world through human spiritual activities, and neither possesses any objective materiality.
However, the power of acceptance is by no means faith. If faith is like searching for pure glass or diamonds in a pile of messy ores, requiring a sufficiently devout mindset to generate the power of faith, then the power of acceptance is the ability to accept the entire pile of ores—whether you hate it or love it, as long as you accept this "role," then you can generate the "power of acceptance."
"It's really cheap."
Because of its "cheapness," this power can not generate high intensity. If we were to make a comparison, one unit of faith power is roughly equivalent to ten units of recognition power. This is without considering the sustainable development of both. If we were to include this factor, the gap between the two would increase by several tens of percentages.
Thinking about this, Lin Yi roughly understood the fundamental reason why Altair had mentioned being able to help him regain his power in this world.
"Inexpensive items are easier to obtain."
There is no need for justice or evil; as long as the people of this world become aware of the existence of "roles," then the power of recognition will increase, and in this way, the power can be restored.
The same thing happened in the street before. Because someone noticed the existence of Lin Yi as a "character" and acknowledged him, the lost information had a rebound.
In summary, this world is essentially a low-budget version of a "religious faith" world, except that the faith has been replaced by a more accepted one, and the requirements for believers have been greatly lowered. In essence, it hasn't changed much.
"Wouldn't that make things much simpler?"
Looking out at the metropolis with a permanent population of over 20 million, Lin Yi smiled.
--------------segmentation--------------
Just as Lin Yi had officially made contact with the "Chaos Leader" and formed an alliance, the "Order Faction," completely unaware of the situation, was still searching for him all over the streets, even though some of them were completely unaware of the necessity of doing so.
Among them, Ruki Kanoya, who was piloting a giant humanoid robot and monitoring from the sky, was the most puzzled.
“I said, if it’s really just a character from a novel, it’s fine to leave it alone, since it doesn’t have much influence anyway. Besides, its ‘creator’ is already dead, so even if it wants revenge or to change the setting, there’s nothing that can be done.”
Mirokuji Yuya, who had almost given up the search, also had a similar thought: "With that guy's power of recognition, he can't possibly be used as a fighting force."
Just as the search team members were about to give up on the mission, the "Seeker of a Thousand Miles," who had proposed it, suddenly spoke up: "I have read about this work. This 'character' is fundamentally different from us in essence, not in terms of origin, but in terms of the 'character' itself."
"what?"
"If we are characters who exist within a certain context and act within a framework according to the will of the Creator, then he himself is the character who creates the context and framework. Once this 'character' gains sufficient recognition, what appears here will not only be his own power, but also the existence that grants him these powers: the Main God Space."
"If we really let things escalate to that point, even if we thwart Altair's goals, the world's fate will be far from good. The best-case scenario is that it will become an object of manipulation, like the other 'backgrounds' he created; the worst-case scenario is..."
"In his story, the extinction of life on a planet is just a 'normal' thing."
Re:CREATORS: Chapter 494 The Power of Recognition
The following day, Altair found Lin Yi and brought him a way to "restore his strength" along with an "assistant".
"Alice Fabrilliance, the protagonist of Scarlet Alice."
Faced with this "character" who seemed to harbor inexplicable hostility towards her, Lin Yi simply smiled at her without taking any further action. After briefly introducing the character "Lin Yi" to the knight, Altair began to describe her plan.
It is not that complicated in itself.
“It might be quite troublesome to deliberately pursue a positive or negative impression, but ‘recognition’ is not such a pure thing. Simply put, as long as you can be recognized as a ‘role,’ you have succeeded. So there is no need to be too fixated on the nature of the action itself... Just do what you think is right, my ally. I believe that for the situations you face in your story, these things should be as simple as they can be.”
"Of course, considering the possible actions that Seresia and Meteora might take, His Highness the Knight will provide the necessary assistance until you recover."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow slightly and said without hesitation, "I have no objection."
"Then let's set off quickly."
Without waiting for Lin Yi's response, the knight mounted his winged "warhorse" and galloped away into the distance, leaving the two of them standing still.
"It seems this knight doesn't particularly enjoy doing this kind of thing."
"Please understand, my ally, although the Knight's attitude is not exactly friendly, she is still quite reliable as an ally of the same faction."
Watching the knight almost disappear into the distance, Lin Yi suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
“Naturally, Erlin Bawu Ling Jiu (3) Lu Chao”.
What role does she play in her story?
“If the concept of ‘righteous hero’ exists, then the Knight Princess should be one of them. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to fight against the ‘creators’ in this world and become a ‘villain’ for the sake of the other characters in the story.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi suddenly realized: "Does that mean it wouldn't be surprising if she became a 'hero of justice' again and then turned around and betrayed us?"
----------segmentation----------
Given the fragility of this information entity, it is necessary to have an assistant when carrying out such "operations" that are likely to expose its tracks; otherwise, it would not be surprising if it were taken down by the enemy before it could gain enough "recognition".
The problem is that this accomplice, arranged for him by the "chaotic leader," doesn't seem to be all that friendly...
After leaving Altair's position, Lin Yi continued walking for a while before finally spotting the "Knight of Justice." It's no exaggeration to say that if Lin Yi had been attacked during that journey, he would have been forced to retreat immediately.
Even so, the knight continued to do as he pleased.
On the one hand, they bear the responsibility of "protecting" and "helping," but on the other hand, they maintain a significant distance, making it seem as if they are not providing assistance at all.
"Instead, they're spying on us?"
The tedious thoughts that had been swirling in his mind were quickly dispelled, because Lin Yi had already arrived at his destination.
Because he is merely a "character" whose very existence is barely maintained and who is dispensable, Lin Yi would not attract attention like other characters even if he appeared openly in the bustling city area. In addition, due to his different attire, according to the calculations of the main god, the total number of people who have recognized Lin Yi as a "character" so far should not exceed ten—including the two "characters" from opposing factions.
"That's not okay."
In this world, the "acceptance" of human cognition of a character is based on knowing the character himself. If even the character "Lin Yi" is not clear, no matter how much news is generated, it can only remain in the impression of a "mysterious object" and cannot provide much "acceptance".
Therefore, the first step in restoring strength was determined.
"Know 'I'".
Following the only image of its own "character" that the main god found on the network, the external appearance of this information entity was modified—in short, by changing its clothes.
Because information doesn't exist in a physical form, it's not as complicated as normal human beings. In just a few steps, by putting on the clothes on their bodies, they can transform from a modern style that blends in with the crowd and goes unnoticed into strange clothing that doesn't look like normal people at all.
"It seems that this 'setting' appeared during the fourth world."
He glanced at the black robe that covered his entire body—an item made to protect against possible residual radiation. In the God Space, this robe would be considered an A-grade exchange item. Although it was unlikely to stop bullets, it could still withstand simple attacks from sharp weapons.
However, this is the limit that current information systems can achieve.
Ignoring the surprised, curious, and puzzled looks around him, Lin Yi walked straight to the center of the road, where the red light was still flashing. Just then, a truck carrying a heavy load passed by. The driver, who hadn't anticipated this at all, immediately slammed on the brakes, but at such a distance, it was impossible to stop—
"It would be strange if it came true."
He muttered to himself, stretching out his palm towards the front.
The omnipresent yet elusive energy hovering in the air frantically gathered in front of the palm, and as a scream rang out, a faint golden light bloomed in the opened right eye.
—The Mysteries of Magic.
Originating from the "roots," a system completely unrelated to this world was integrated into it with almost no resistance, and the magic projected before our eyes altered objective reality in a "natural" way.
For example: "place" a wall in an empty space.
"Boom——"
The truck's front end twisted and deformed upon impact, while the rear half of the vehicle was thrown high into the air before crashing down again.
When the outstretched hand was removed, everything was still the same as before... except that its shape had changed slightly compared to before.
"Is that really the case?"
Feeling the pheromones slowly replenishing within his body, even though he couldn't see Lin Yi, he could tell what was happening in his right eye—
"Cognition is built upon information, and the information disseminated in this world only extends to the 'Eye of the Root.' In other words, if I wanted to restore the rule system in this world, the feasibility would be extremely low. Conversely, if I were to restore these systems that have already been disseminated and recognized..."
The hand that had been lowered was raised again, this time aimed at the space behind it.
A pale golden light flickered in his eyes, and just as the golden ripples slowly formed, a furious roar came from the sky: "Stop!"
Re:CREATORS: Chapter 495 The Value of Justice
Taking a few steps back to avoid the attack from the sky, Lin Yi was not surprised to see the figure of his "ally" as the dust kicked up by the high-altitude impact settled at the center.
"Perhaps there's a difference in our understanding. At least in my concept, so-called 'allies' shouldn't suddenly turn against their own people. Or is this just how Your Highness's chivalry is?"
Alice Tria, drawing her spear from the ground, remained indifferent, ignoring her surroundings, and pointed the spear directly at them: "The chivalry I uphold is to protect the weak, not to help the evil bully the people. If it's just to increase 'recognition power,' I will naturally abide by the covenant, but if you do it this way, then I have no choice but to give up cooperating with you."
Lin Yi had to admit that sometimes he envied these "heroes of justice." After all, even blatant betrayal and backstabbing could be done without any burden and as a matter of course after being given the title of "justice." What reason in the world could be more "powerful" than that?
Noticing the chaos, the pedestrians in the surrounding area were quickly dispersed by the arriving army. Under normal circumstances, Lin Yi should have taken advantage of this opportunity to retreat, since he had only recovered a small portion of the power of the "Eye of Origin," which was clearly insufficient and meaningless to fight against these violent institutions. However, this "hero of justice" did not seem to be obedient at all.
"We both come from a world created by the 'Creator,' and I've been exposed to part of your story. Here, I raise questions to you from the same perspective."
Glancing at the defensive lines that were already being set up around him, Lin Yi was speechless: "It seems I have no choice but to refuse."
Unlike the knight in front of him who had a flying warhorse, Lin Yi had no means of flying at all. If he were to be surrounded, the outcome would be predictable.
Perhaps it was for this reason that she chose to take action at this time.
While she was pondering, the knight in front of her formally raised her question.
"What was your mindset when you decided to destroy the world?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Amidst the surrounding noise, the atmosphere between the two in the center was almost frozen.
"This is really... all that trouble just for this?"
The spear in his hand slammed into the ground, and with the support of an almost "massive" amount of recognition power relative to Lin Yi, this unintentional blow shattered the concrete ground beneath his feet.
Compared to the actions of the righteous hero, it's not hard to see her current attitude: "My world has fallen into such a miserable state because of people like you—answer me, what was your mindset when you did these things?!"
While they were rambling on about these meaningless topics, the surrounding blockade was completely completed. Seeing this, Lin Yi gave up the idea of escaping and simply tilted his head in response to the knight's question: "I haven't thought about what specific ideas I have."
Here, he paused slightly: "But if I really had to describe it, it would probably be the same as what you're thinking right now."
"——————Gaz Pon Belishge! Answer my call!"
A surge of activity and recognition power flowed into the raised gauntlet, compressing it into an energy body that manifested as lightning, and finally—
Facing this direction
"Appear here—!!!"
"so……"
He exhaled and grasped the hilt of the sword that emerged from the golden ripples behind him: "Why didn't you do this earlier?"
----------segmentation----------
"This is--"
Upon arriving in a hurry, Seresia, who had been prepared for a tough battle, was momentarily at a loss after seeing the two figures clashing in front of her: "Civil war?"
"Hey, what's the point of them fighting amongst themselves?"
In the sky, the pilot of the giant robot, aiming the energy cannon at the one below, hesitated: "Support one side, or attack both at once?"
