Chapter 573: Call from the Stars

"You can't take it away," the voice of the True Creator echoed from afar. Sasrir, the dark angel not yet fully awakened, instinctively protected the blasphemy slate that belonged to him.

 Sasrir, backed by the Chaos Sea, could draw upon its power through the blasphemy slate. With the True Creator's assistance, even a true god couldn't forcibly take this slate away.

"How would we know without trying?" Hastur's avatar of light smiled. "A challenge without difficulty wouldn't bring much satisfaction even if completed."

The True Creator remained silent, preparing to briefly control Sasrir's remaining spiritual body to secure the blasphemy slate first.

At this moment, Hastur's avatar chuckled and commanded Sasrir in a majestic tone: "Return to your place!"

This command sent chills down the True Creator's spine, even from atop the Black Holy Mountain. He quickly realized the source of this feeling—it came from deep within Sasrir's soul!

 Sasrir, formed from the Creator's fallen spiritual remnants and the shadow authority, now emanated a familiar yet despised aura from the depths of his soul.

The God Almighty!

It was the God Almighty who had once awakened within him!

Startled, the True Creator hastily withdrew his power from Sasrir, forcibly severing their connection to prevent the God Almighty's consciousness from spreading to himself through Sasrir's spiritual body.

Long ago, it was the God Almighty's awakening within him that forced the Creator to devise a detailed plan, having Sasrir, the Dark Angel, along with the Goddess of Night and other Angelic Kings, form the Salvation Rose to assassinate himself.

The goal was to use the act of falling and being reborn to correctly reincorporate the uniqueness and extraordinary characteristics, thus escaping the God Almighty's awakening within him.

He had failed, yet succeeded.

Fortunately, he had ultimately escaped the God Almighty's awakening within himself.

Unexpectedly, under the call of the stars, the God Almighty had awakened once again!

 Sasrir now exuded a different aura—shadow, corruption, and madness made him appear exceptionally dangerous.

Behind him, brass-colored eyes opened, their gaze filled with heart-pounding intensity as they surveyed everything.

"I am one, and I am many. I am the all-knowing, and I am the almighty," he intoned in a deep, ancient voice that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Excellent," Hastur's avatar seized the moment of the God Almighty's awakening and the True Creator's retreat to grasp the blasphemy slate firmly. Using the power of the Star Hall, he successfully took the slate away this time.

Another sun fell from the sky, covering his escape.

 Sasrir, now without the blasphemy slate, instantly understood everything that had transpired. He calmly drew upon the power of the Chaos Sea to shield himself, blocking the attack from the distant Supernova Dominator across the vast cosmos.

He gazed upward for a long time, his eyes revealing a rare hint of confusion. "The stars... an existence I've never heard of."

This statement seemed somewhat contradictory, given that he had just proclaimed himself all-knowing and all-powerful. Even with just a fraction of his consciousness revived, there shouldn't be any secrets in this world beyond his knowledge.

However, he wasn't concerned about losing the first blasphemy slate born from the Chaos Sea. He was the God Almighty, God, the former master of the Chaos Sea. To communicate with its power, he needed no additional medium.

In comparison, the existence of the stars intrigued him more.

He attempted to locate the Star Hall in the cosmos but couldn't find its exact position.

After brief contemplation, he understood that the Star Hall must be a product not of this universe. It wasn't derived from the Original Creator but came from another universe.

This explained why it could elude him, creating a blind spot in his omniscient domain.

Soon, he turned his gaze towards the distant True Creator.

"No matter how you reincorporate uniqueness and extraordinary characteristics, as long as you pursue the path of omniscience and omnipotence, you are destined to awaken me, to let me revive within you."

The True Creator didn't respond to this statement.

If the stars hadn't forcibly awakened the God Almighty's consciousness, he was confident that this revival would have allowed him to directly replace the God Almighty, becoming the new God Almighty instead of being replaced.

"An excellent idea, indeed the most correct path," Sasrir, now in the form of the God Almighty, could discern all secrets within the True Creator despite the vast distance of space and time.

First taking the Imaginator pathway, then fusing the uniqueness and extraordinary characteristics of other pathways was theoretically the best route.

However, he was already the omniscient and omnipotent God. Such a path wasn't beyond his imagination; he simply no longer needed it.

At that time, he had already begun focusing on how to incorporate multiple Source Qualities, moving closer to becoming the Original Creator.

"Only half of you cannot sustain my true awakening. I look forward to the day when your dual bodies merge to become the Ancient One," Sasrir calmly spoke these chilling words.

"You shouldn't have awakened," the True Creator replied, accompanied by a black cross swung with all his might.

The entire God-forsaken land trembled and fractured before this power.

"Now that I've awakened, none of you can kill me," Sasrir's body transformed into a shadow, taking refuge within the Chaos Sea.

Faced with the Chaos Sea, the True Creator fell silent.

They now faced an unprecedented dilemma: once he merged with Adam and sought to control the Chaos Sea, they would have to confront the God Almighty.

"I too once controlled the Chaos Sea," the True Creator wouldn't allow the God Almighty to hide there indefinitely. He personally arrived, riding the Black Holy Mountain, with black waves instantly spreading across the entire Giant King's Court.

From the depths beneath the Giant King's Court, where the Chaos Sea churned ceaselessly, came the voice of the God Almighty.

"Without the first blasphemy slate, you cannot draw much power from the Chaos Sea."

He had allowed the first blasphemy slate to be taken by the stars earlier to prevent it from falling into the True Creator's hands.

Without the blasphemy slate as a medium to communicate with the Chaos Sea, a single Sequence 0 of the Hanged Man pathway like the True Creator couldn't shake much of the Chaos Sea's power, let alone force him out.

And if the True Creator merged with Adam, he would risk the possibility of the God Almighty reviving within him.

Not to mention the further step of trying to incorporate the Chaos Sea.

The True Creator remained silent, continuously drawing upon the Chaos Sea's power in an attempt to completely annihilate the nascent God Almighty.

 Sasrir was only a small remnant of a spiritual body, with limited inherent power. Even with the God Almighty awakening within him, it was far less terrifying than when it had awakened within the Creator himself.

Now was the best time to deal with this consciousness of the God Almighty.

The God Almighty's consciousness was repeatedly obliterated in the Chaos Sea, only to awaken again and again using its power.

It seemed as if he had completely merged with the Chaos Sea, but the True Creator keenly sensed that this consciousness of the God Almighty was gradually approaching collapse.

He indeed couldn't completely kill the God Almighty, but dissolving this bit of consciousness wasn't difficult.

At this moment, the True Creator suddenly withdrew part of his power from the Chaos Sea to defend his divine kingdom.

In the sky, those massive suns wrapped in flames fell again, this time targeting his divine kingdom!

"It seems you won't be able to keep me here today. What a pity," the God Almighty's face appeared from the Chaos Sea, speaking leisurely while his gaze fixed on the starry sky above.

He wasn't particularly interested in the True Creator, knowing that as long as the latter continued on the path to omniscience and omnipotence, he would eventually awaken again.

The stars from a different universe were what truly surprised him.

He wanted to fathom the authority of the stars, understand everything about them, and thus fill the gaps in his omniscient domain.

The True Creator wouldn't allow him such leisure. While defending his divine kingdom, he continued to draw upon the Chaos Sea's power to contend with the God Almighty.

"Alas," the God Almighty sighed. This awakened consciousness was too weak; taking refuge in the Chaos Sea was already his limit, making it difficult to withstand the True Creator's pressure.

Before long, this consciousness of the God Almighty was ground to pieces by the True Creator, scattered throughout the Chaos Sea.

The True Creator finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, an avatar of light appeared above the Chaos Sea, under the watchful gaze of countless brass-colored eyes behind the True Creator's shadow veil.

Hastur's avatar of light once again uttered the word that sent chills down the True Creator's spine: "Return!"

The True Creator sensed imminent danger as a familiar yet despised aura emanated from the depths of the Chaos Sea.

This aura was far stronger than Sasrir's earlier presence.

The previously calm Chaos Sea now surged with massive waves. The scattered consciousness of the God Almighty, responding to the call of the stellar authority, reassembled into a new figure.

The God Almighty, born from the Chaos Sea!
