Chapter 541: The Stance of the Stars

The everNight Goddess was truly adept at conversation. Every word she spoke danced on the heartstrings of the Mother Tree of Desire and other ancient gods.

She clearly understood what the Mother Tree of Desire and similar beings wanted to achieve. She knew their limits and was aware of her own advantages and those of the True Creator.

It seemed that during this period, the everNight Goddess had put in considerable effort behind the scenes to deal with these opponents from beyond the stars.

Of course, it was also possible that the everNight Goddess was naturally perceptive, given that she had once been the victor of two palace intrigue competitions.

Hastur remained silent, but inwardly he was secretly mocking.

In contrast, the True Creator seemed to have no presence at all. Was it because he naturally disliked conversation, or had he already reached some understanding with the everNight Goddess?

The Lamp God, who had been lost in thought, sneered, "The Lord of Mysteries awakens, and you think you can gain the upper hand?"

"You clearly don't understand that bastard's personality."

"Once he awakens, the first thing he will do is eliminate all gods who might advance further. Only after confirming that you pose no threat will he unseal the Western Continent."

"After his awakening, only his voice will exist within the initial barrier. You will all become his test subjects or playthings."

"He doesn't need to take sides or choose any faction. Wherever he is, that place becomes the dominant side."

"As for the anchor you wish to protect, it holds no value in his eyes. The so-called miracle of life is just a fortunate ant."

As a former opponent of the Lord of Mysteries, the Lamp God's words carried significant weight.

"You won't let the Lord of Mysteries awaken because the consequences are unbearable for you. It's better to suppress all his chances of awakening, at least to buy some time," the Mother Tree of Desire said, regaining her usual calm.

The Supernova Dominator also spoke indifferently, "If you had experienced the era of the Lord of Mysteries, you would never place your hopes on him. He holds the authority of deception."

The High-Dimensional Overseer remained silent, his attention focused on the True Creator. The Primordial Hunger squinted his small eyes, seemingly already asleep.

"Believing in the mercy of gods is foolish," the everNight Goddess said mockingly, her tone unchanged. "If helping him awaken means he will guard the initial barrier and protect the real world, he would gladly do it. After all, it's not a difficult task for him."

The Lamp God, the Mother Tree of Desire, and the Supernova Dominator fell silent.

"Compared to facing the apocalypse, ending this era early and entering the era ruled by the Lord of Mysteries might not be a bad thing. He once achieved this, and history continued to move forward without interruption."

This was an irrefutable reason.

For the true gods within the initial barrier, the apocalypse was the real unbearable weight. Allowing the Lord of Mysteries to awaken was a good solution, especially since he was currently weak and needed help.

Complete annihilation or being ruled—this was an easy choice.

After a brief silence, the Mother Tree of Desire looked at Hastur, who sat at the head, "Stars, will you watch the Lord of Mysteries awaken?"

This question reminded the Lamp God and the Supernova Dominator, who also turned their gazes towards him.

They found it difficult to effectively prevent the Lord of Mysteries's return, but the Stars were different. He was also within the initial barrier.

If the gods like the everNight Goddess chose the Seer between extinction and domination, what about the Stars?

Would he allow the Lord of Mysteries to fully awaken?

Especially now, the Stars seemed to be in a better state than the Lord of Mysteries.

With the authority the Stars held and the Hall of Stars, he had the power to bring them through the initial barrier before the Lord of Mysteries fully awakened.

Facing their inquisitive gazes, Hastur merely smiled and said, "No."

Hearing this answer, the Mother Tree of Desire and the Lamp God breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Stars stood with them, the Lord of Mysteries's full awakening would be extremely difficult.

The everNight Goddess pondered, "Stars, will you watch the apocalypse unfold?"

"No."

The same answer made the atmosphere strange again. The everNight Goddess did not continue to question; she had gotten the answer she wanted.

What was the stance of the Stars?

Between the outer cosmos and the real world, which side did he lean towards?

Or did he represent absolute neutrality?

The Mother Tree of Desire and the other ancient gods fell into deep thought. This was a difficult question to ask, and even the Lamp God did not immediately voice his doubts.

"The Lord of Mysteries, the God, they are all gradually returning," Hastur casually mentioned some information about the God.

With the True Creator attending the gathering of the Stars, this news was no longer important.

After a brief shock, the Lamp God and the Mother Tree of Desire thought of another question.

The Stars were also gradually returning.

What would the future apocalypse look like?

Would it be dominated by the Lord of Mysteries, or would he continue his unfinished struggle with the God, or would the Stars also join in?

No matter the scenario, it seemed to have little to do with these ancient gods outside the initial barrier.

At this moment, the Lamp God felt a strong sense of dread and quickly restrained his usual arrogance.

The Mother Tree of Desire pondered the true purpose of the Stars.

Why invite the everNight Goddess and the True Creator to the gathering of the Stars?

There must be some plan to achieve a certain goal.

Who exactly was the ancient being known as the Stars?

The Supernova Dominator felt an inexplicable unease and a slight panic about the future.

He had a feeling that the relationship between the Stars and him was similar to that between him and the Eternal Blazing Sun.

Seeing the unusual atmosphere, the High-Dimensional Overseer looked at the True Creator and laughed, "I have traveled to the forsaken land of the god of the god many times. Why can I never enter your divine kingdom? Are you deliberately avoiding me? This behavior proves you are hiding a secret that interests me."

The High-Dimensional Overseer 's words shifted the heavy topic, drawing the attention of the Mother Tree of Desire and the Lamp God to the True Creator.

"Indeed, it's strange. They always say the True Creator is a mindless madman, but you don't seem that bad," the Lamp God noticed something amiss.

"To survive better, some degree of disguise is always necessary," the True Creator's voice was low and hoarse, like a rusty whistle that hadn't made a sound in years.

"Is it just a simple disguise? I feel there's a huge secret behind you. The last one who gave me this feeling was Adam, the child of the Ancient Sun God."

The High-Dimensional Overseer 's determined tone made the Lamp God and the Mother Tree of Desire more curious. The Supernova Dominator also put away his unease and began to seriously observe the True Creator sitting opposite him.

"True Creator, huh? Creator... That title is even more impressive than the Lord of Mysteries's," the Lamp God initially mocked out of habit but then paused.

If the Lord of Mysteries and the God were awakening, what about the original Creator?

Was part of his consciousness also gradually awakening?

The title of Creator influenced the thoughts of the Mother Tree of Desire and the High-Dimensional Overseer , making them look at the True Creator with more caution.

The original consciousness existed within every living being. The stronger the being, the more likely it was to awaken the original consciousness.

Once the original consciousness fully awakened, it would merge everything and then split again, causing the entire universe to re-evolve.

"The original Creator? Unlikely," the High-Dimensional Overseer was the first to question. "If he were the original, with his current power, the real world wouldn't be so peaceful. It would have descended into chaos."

"Perhaps he isn't the original Creator, but the title of Creator isn't something any god can bear."

Suspicious, scrutinizing, and cautious gazes fell on the True Creator, who faced them calmly without any intention of explaining.

"Unfortunately, he isn't the original Creator," the everNight Goddess said regretfully, alleviating the pressure on the True Creator.

If the True Creator were indeed the original Creator, the initial barrier wouldn't be torn apart, and the apocalypse wouldn't come.

Instead, the ancient gods in the stars should be worried.

If the original Creator awakened, they would have fled to the deepest parts of the cosmos long ago, rather than staying here, trying to seize the essence.

The Lamp God also felt he was overthinking. How could the original Creator awaken?

"True Creator, what is your relationship with Adam?"

The High-Dimensional Overseer 's sharp gaze did not waver. He still felt something was wrong.

The aura of the True Creator was somewhat similar to Adam's, yet distinctly different, as if they shared a lineage or origin.
