Chapter 175: The Vicious Cycle from the Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 175: The Vicious Cycle from the Lord of Mysteries

The words of the Lamp Genie opened a new train of thought for Hastur. He had never considered this angle before, nor had he ever thought of occupying the extraordinary pathway of the moon that originally belonged to the Fallen Mother Goddess.

But hearing the Lamp Genie speak, and combining it with the actions of the Fallen Mother Goddess, it seemed he truly had the ability to occupy the moon's extraordinary pathway.

Were they all assuming that the Returner of the Stars must be interested in the Fallen Mother Goddess's moon pathway, and that's why they were reluctant to pull the Fallen Mother Goddess to the Star Palace for a meeting?

Now, the controller of the moon's extraordinary pathway is Lilith, also known as the Earth Mother Goddess.

She is no match for the Fallen Mother Goddess, and the authority and extraordinary pathway she holds are being continuously taken back by the Fallen Mother Goddess.

Once doomsday arrives, she is essentially destined to fall at the hands of the Fallen Mother Goddess.

Rather than being taken back by the Fallen Mother Goddess, it would be better to be occupied by oneself.

If the moon belongs to the stars, then what about the Eternal Blazing Sun?

He should also be a part of the stars, right?

Hastur thought for a while and felt that he was aiming too high, after all, he was only at Sequence 7 now.

There was still a long way to go before he could compete for the extraordinary pathway.

"If the stars intend to compete with the Fallen Mother Goddess for the moon, I don't mind lending a hand."

TheMother Tree of Desire was the first to express its stance, quite pleased to see the Fallen Mother Goddess suffer a setback.

Moreover, this would reduce the strength of the Fallen Mother Goddess and distract her, which was the best choice for itself.

"The Fallen Mother Goddess has always prided herself above the other Ancients, and I don't mind letting her suffer a loss in the dark."

The Superstar Overlord clearly did not get along with the Fallen Mother Goddess either.

"…"

The Lamp Genie opened his mouth to say something but suddenly realized that he was now seemingly helpless.

That was the Fallen Mother Goddess, one of the three pillars that loomed beyond the starry sky.

Even at his most complete, he wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of her, let alone now.

But in terms of face, he definitely couldn't disregard it and echoed, "Making the Fallen Mother Goddess suffer is indeed an interesting thing."

Listening to theMother Tree of Desire , Superstar Overlord, and Lamp Genie express their stances in succession.

Hastur then realized that such a formidable force had already gathered around him.

Even if they were not united in heart with him, they could cooperate on certain matters, converging into a force that could even shake the Fallen Mother Goddess!

Star Palace, Star Gathering, Returner of the Stars…

At this moment, Hastur's understanding of the Returner of the Stars deepened.

Gathering the power of the stars, perhaps that's the very purpose of the Star Palace's existence.

"No rush, let's wait for her to settle the score with the Earth Mother Goddess first."

Hastur casually moved past the topic.

TheMother Tree of Desire reminded, "That Earth Mother Goddess is definitely no match for the Fallen Mother Goddess, her fate is already sealed."

"The authority of the moon is not in the hands of the Earth Mother Goddess now."

"Night…"

TheMother Tree of Desire hummed softly, then spoke with admiration, "Her ambition seems quite grand."

Hastur, with a calm tone as if seeing through the future, said, "A new Ancient will be born within the initial barrier."

A new Ancient?

Does it refer to the Goddess of Night?

Or will there be other deities who will merge the essence first and become the new Ancients?

Which Outer God's essence will be merged by someone first?

TheMother Tree of Desire , Superstar Overlord, and Lamp Genie pondered this question at the same time.

If a new Ancient is born within the initial barrier before it shatters, it could potentially rewrite the outcome of doomsday's arrival.

"Damn mysteries!" The Lamp Genie couldn't help but curse.

The original Lord of Mysteries not only sealed him inside the Wishing Lamp but also sealed his essence of the Land of Disorder in the Western Continent, making it impossible for him to contact the Land of Disorder.

"The actions of mysteries are indeed more despicable than God's."

TheMother Tree of Desire also showed dissatisfaction with the Lord of Mysteries, whose essence of the Shadow World was also sealed in the Western Continent.

At the same time, the essences of several other Ancients were sealed, only the Sea of Chaos of God and the Source Fortress of the Lord of Mysteries were not sealed in the Western Continent.

The original God, although also researching a closer method, did not seal all the other essences at once.

Compared to the two, the actions of the Lord of Mysteries seemed extremely despicable.

The Superstar Overlord said with a hint of a smile, "Mysteries have always been more troublesome than God and the Fallen Mother Goddess, and even more elusive."

If God's character and actions are upright and straightforward, and the Fallen Mother Goddess is dark and unpredictable, then the Lord of Mysteries is jumping between the two, the most elusive.

"This is precisely the brilliance of the Lord of Mysteries."

Hastur simply commented and did not tell theMother Tree of Desire and Lamp Genie that if they wanted to take back their own essence, it would be difficult to bypass the Lord of Mysteries.

Without the awakening of the Lord of Mysteries, the seal on the Western Continent cannot be broken.

But once the Lord of Mysteries awakens, it will be even harder for them to take back their own essence.

This is a vicious cycle.

Probably only when the initial barrier shatters and doomsday arrives, can they bypass the Lord of Mysteries to retrieve their own essence.

So, no matter how hard theMother Tree of Desire and Lamp Genie plan now, as long as doomsday has not arrived, they are doing futile work.

Hastur, with a kind heart, couldn't bear to tell them this despairing truth.

Let them continue to hold onto hope and strive forward.

The Lamp Genie thought for a moment, his tone serious, "I really want to know if the Lord of Mysteries who has not yet returned is also under the watch of the stars?"

Hastur just smiled without saying a word, telling the Lamp Genie, theMother Tree of Desire , and the Superstar Overlord in this silent way that the Lord of Mysteries was also under the watch of the stars.

TheMother Tree of Desire said solemnly, "What conditions are needed to exchange information about the current Lord of Mysteries?"

"I am just a witness."

Hastur refused theMother Tree of Desire 's conditions.

Jokingly, if he were to tell theMother Tree of Desire about Klein's news, even at the risk of the divine creature Sua's fall, it would capture Klein and imprison him, then look for a way to occupy the Source Fortress.

This path being blocked, the Lamp Genie also felt it was a pity, and he really wanted to know where the current Lord of Mysteries was and how he would return.

He really wanted to give Mysteries a good beating, to vent the anger of his many years of imprisonment!

"Let's call it a day for today's gathering."

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Hastur prepared to end this Star Gathering.

Compared to before, theMother Tree of Desire , Superstar Overlord, and Lamp Genie showed a bit more awe and wariness towards him.

Obviously, the fact that he knew the latest news about the Lord of Mysteries made them realize the truly terrifying aspect of him.

From the watch of the stars, no matter what kind of Outer God or Ancient, they are all under the watch of the stars.

The existing Fallen Mother Goddess, the Lord of Mysteries who has not yet returned, are all the same.

Everything is under the watch of the stars.

…

In the Southern Continent, deep within a primitive forest, Bernadette used pea vines with the help of the surrounding trees to weave a huge plant palace.

At this moment, she sat high in the palace, looking at the golden Wishing Lamp inside the palace, pondering the matters of the Star Gathering.

She didn't quite understand why the stars would invite the Lamp Genie to the starry sky gathering.

Now that the Lamp Genie is sealed inside the Wishing Lamp, apart from making wishes to him, he is powerless to affect the real world.

When her sequence was still low, the Lamp Genie could not leave the Wishing Lamp, and now that she is at Sequence 2, it is even harder for the Lamp Genie to leave the Wishing Lamp.

What other use could such a Lamp Genie have?

Before long, the familiar starry sky reappeared, and Bernadette's eyes narrowed slightly, that was the realm where the stars resided.

She wondered if she might be able to visit that mysterious realm in the future.

As the starry sky dissipated, Bernadette was about to take back the Wishing Lamp and then go about her business.

"Bernadette, I can help you find the hiding place of theMother Tree of Desire 's followers, you just need to promise me a little freedom," the Lamp Genie suddenly spoke.

"A little freedom?"

Bernadette chuckled lightly, with a hint of mockery, "I don't need your help now, you should continue to stay in the Wishing Lamp."

"Bernadette…"

The Lamp Genie wanted to say more, but Bernadette completely sealed him inside the Wishing Lamp, depriving him of even the right to speak.

Inside the Wishing Lamp, the Lamp Gen

Inside the Wishing Lamp, the Lamp Genie's face showed no anger, only puzzlement over Bernadette's sudden rise to Sequence 2. Without guidance, it would have been impossible for Bernadette to become aware of the existence of the High-Dimensional Overseer s, let alone fulfill the conditions to ascend to Sequence 2.

The only being capable of seeing through the avatar of a High-Dimensional Overseer might be the Returner of the Stars.

This gathering made him realize even more the terrifying authority of the Returner of the Stars; under the stars, nothing could hide.

The High-Dimensional Overseer must have exposed its identity for this reason.

To guide Bernadette and help her ascend to Sequence 2, was it to control him?

Was Bernadette a follower of the stars?

The Lamp Genie's heart skipped a beat, feeling that he had grasped the key to the problem.

But new questions arose; if he wanted to convey this message to theMother Tree of Desire and the Superstar Overlord, he would have to confront the Returner of the Stars directly.

"Heh, I'm not that noble."

The Lamp Genie scoffed. He would not risk offending the Returner of the Stars to aid theMother Tree of Desire and the Superstar Overlord.

"It seems I should treat Bernadette better in the future."

The Lamp Genie murmured to himself, lost in thought.
