迟到者（权柄之神）

一个现代人永远是一个迟到者，无论他要制造什么宏伟的建筑，总有先哲已曾建立了难以超越的奇迹。对创造来说，时间就是一种负担。这就让创新更加变得困难重重。

一种挣扎是必须的，正如只有用不同的颜色才能在纸上留下痕迹。他选择偏离正统，用一种相反的颜色书写，或者使用一种比古人更深的颜色书写，运用一种高度风格化的技巧。这反过来让古人的创造成为一种偏离的风格，或者一种弱化的风格。

或者，迟到者也会选择把时间倒转，将自己的时间重新定义为准确的时间，于是他必须吸收古人的创造，将自己创造提前，发展一种更加核心的风格。这让先哲的语言看起来都像是他所说内容的派生。

这样，他占领了谱系的最高处，他不再是一个迟到者，他提前到了。

Latecomers (God of authority)

The modern man is always a latecomer.

Regardless of what kind of magnificent buildings he wants to build, past sages had already established insurmountable miracles. For creation, time is a burden. This makes innovation become more difficult.

One kind of struggle is a must, as only different colors can leave marks on paper. He chooses to deviate from the orthodox, writing with a contrast or deeper color than the ancients, and also with a highly stylized skill. This in turn allows ancient creation become a deviated and weakened style.

Or, latecomers will choose to turn back time and redefine their time as the exact time. So he must absorb ancient creations, move up their own creations and develop as a more central style. This makes the language of ancient philosophers look like content derived of what he said. 

In this way, he occupies the highest point of pedigree. He is no longer a latecomer. Instead, he arrives in advance.
