Chapter 574: The Fear and Awe of the True Gods 

Chapter 574: The Fear and Awe of the True Gods 

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur watched with delight as the God Almighty emerged from the depths of the Sea of Chaos.

Although this was only a fragment of the primordial consciousness, it would not be easily obliterated by the True Creator once it had emerged from the Sea of Chaos.

When the True Creator and Adam attempt to assimilate the essence of the Sea of Chaos in the future, they will inevitably have to confront this primordial obstacle.

This was the first gift he bestowed upon Adam and the True Creator.

Taking the first blasphemous tablet was merely to disgust them; from the beginning, his true intention was to awaken the primordial consciousness within them.

Did they really think they had no weaknesses?

They had chosen to commit suicide and be reborn out of fear of the primordial. Now that the primordial consciousness had reawakened, if they had the courage, they could try committing suicide again.

However, even if they did, it would not change the fact that the primordial had reawakened and returned from the Sea of Chaos.

The only thing they could do was to confront the primordial consciousness head-on.

Just as the future Lord of Mysteries and Klein would vie for control of the body.

Given the current situation, it was highly likely that Adam and the True Creator would win.

But since he could awaken the primordial consciousness once or twice, he could naturally awaken it three or four times.

Heh, Adam and the True Creator would never be able to escape the primordial consciousness!

Unless they chose another extraordinary path and abandoned the road to omniscience and omnipotence, which was clearly impossible.

Adam had become a god as a dreamer to perfectly reach the end of this path; he would never abandon it midway.

Hastur's gaze once again turned to the starry sky before him. The Supernova Dominator had already exerted great effort, and now it was the turn of the Mother Tree of Desire and the Primordial Hunger.

Although his spiritual power was nearly exhausted at this moment, guiding a few more times would not be too much of a problem. At worst, he could sleep for a few more days after returning to the real world.

...

At the initial barrier's rift, within the divine kingdoms of the five great gods, they too were observing every movement in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.

After the fall of the Lord of Storms, their attention had been drawn to the Forsaken Land by the revenge from the stars.

They had witnessed with their own eyes how the stars guided the attacks of the outer gods from beyond the starry sky, wave after wave, destroying the ancient Giant King's Court.

They had also seen how the first blasphemous tablet was snatched away under the dual protection of the True Creator and the Dark Angel Sasriel.

What terrified and awed them the most was that the stars could actually awaken the consciousness of the God Almighty!

This was the very culprit that had led to the fall of the ancient Sun God.

Those calls to return were the most dreadful curses.

Even the True Creator could not stop it; if it were them, would a higher existence also be born within them under the call of the stars?

In the endless ancient years, the Sea of Chaos had once been controlled by the God Almighty. Did the Wilderness of Knowledge and the River of Eternal Darkness also have corresponding masters?

Although they had fallen, under the call of the stars, would they also have a day of reawakening?

Even if it were just a sliver of consciousness awakening, it would be an unbearable burden for them.

Although their consciousness could suppress the newly awakened consciousness of a higher existence, in the endless future, they were destined to continue this never-ending struggle.

What a terrifying future that would be.

The God of Steam and Machinery was glad that he had not clearly stood against the stars when choosing sides earlier.

Although he had initially tested the stars, the enmity between him and the stars was not as deep as that of the Goddess of the Night and Adam. He was much better off compared to them.

In the divine kingdom of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Eternal Blazing Sun was still entangled with a part of the Supernova Dominator. Originally, he wanted to trap this avatar of the Supernova Dominator in his divine kingdom, but now this effort was futile.

With the help of the stars, the Supernova Dominator had once again descended from beyond the starry sky with an even more powerful avatar.

Once that avatar arrived outside his divine kingdom, he would become the third fallen true god after the War God and the Lord of Storms.

The only god who had bet correctly, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, was in an extremely good mood, praising wisdom.

The Lord of Storms had fallen, and the Eternal Blazing Sun was about to fall. Soon, only he would be left.

The stars were enemies of Adam and the True Creator. He would never allow the ancient Sun God to regain control.

For the only one left, the stars would surely choose to cooperate with him to prevent the ancient Sun God from reclaiming his authority.

In this way, unless the stars were defeated, the ancient Sun God would not be able to reclaim his authority from him.

In other words, he was currently the safest among the five remaining true gods.

His gaze, which had been overlooking the Forsaken Land of the Gods, turned to Adam, who was still trapped in the Sea of Ruins.

Since he had already chosen his side, he did not mind putting in a bit more effort.

He sealed his divine kingdom and decisively sent down divine punishments towards the trapped Adam.

The Goddess of the Night and the Mother Earth Goddess, who noticed the movements of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, remained silent.

"If I had to do it again, I would still choose to fight." The Goddess of the Night spoke without much emotion in her voice.

"I understand." The Mother Earth Goddess responded, her gaze fixed on the flames of war spreading across the Southern Continent. "But this war will be more chaotic and terrifying than we had anticipated."

The ancient Phoenix ancestor had not perished, and the stars were still intact. This would cause the flames of war on the Southern Continent to continue spreading endlessly.

Originally, they had planned for Adam to become a god, imprison the stars, and deal with the ancient Phoenix ancestor and the Lord of Storms, allowing Adam and the Goddess of the Night to each get what they wanted.

In this way, the war could have ended.

Unexpectedly, the stars escaped, leading to the rescue of the ancient Phoenix ancestor.

If they hadn't seen Adam being fiercely targeted by the stars, they might have thought this was a plot arranged in advance by Adam and the stars.

"After the fall of the Lord of Storms, the initial barrier's rift has deepened." The Goddess of the Night's gaze swept over the now fragile initial barrier.

After the War God fell, she had taken the War God's uniqueness and could still support the initial barrier from producing more rifts.

Now that the Lord of Storms had fallen, Adam would never move his divine kingdom to the initial barrier's rift.

This was not a good thing.

The original plan was for her to successfully take the uniqueness of the ancient Phoenix ancestor's death god, and then alone take over the initial barrier's rift that should have been guarded by the War God and the Lord of Storms.

Now, there was a gap.

...

In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, beneath the former Giant King's Court, the God Almighty, who had reassembled his consciousness above the churning Sea of Chaos, glanced calmly at the clearly silent True Creator, let out a light laugh, and looked up again at the starry sky.

Although he couldn't see the shining stars, he could still sense the ancient and mysterious Hall of Stars above the starry sky, overlooking everything on the ground.

"Stars, Returner." He murmured with a gentle smile, "You have helped awaken my consciousness twice in a row. Even though you are using me to balance Adam and the True Creator, you have indeed helped me."

"In return for your help, I will play the role of balancing Adam and the True Creator."

"In the future, I will also give you a great gift."

He did not wait for a response from the stars, slowly retracting his gaze, and once again looked at the True Creator hidden behind the shadow veil on the black holy mountain.

"I was born from the Sea of Chaos. Even if you and Adam merge, it will be difficult to completely eliminate my consciousness from the Sea of Chaos."

"Unless you are willing to give up the essence of the Sea of Chaos."

"By the way, can the authority of the Dreamer allow you to imagine the essence of the Sea of Chaos?"

"I didn't have the chance to test it before; you might as well give it a try."

The silent True Creator, facing the God Almighty's taunt, closed his brass-colored eyes hidden behind the shadow veil and calmly spoke, "Your consciousness awakening in the Sea of Chaos and awakening within us are two different concepts."

Hearing this, the God Almighty nodded, indicating for him to continue.

"Now I can answer your previous question. Imagining the essence of the Sea of Chaos is not an impossible task."

After answering this question, the True Creator did not choose to act further or linger but chose to leave.

Adam, in the Sea of Ruins, was under siege and needed his help.

As for this incarnation of the God Almighty's consciousness, it had already merged with the Sea of Chaos and could only stay there, unable to interfere with his affairs.

"Mystery, I ultimately awakened earlier than you." The God Almighty slowly merged into the Sea of Chaos. He needed to accelerate the recovery of his consciousness so that in the future struggle for the Sea of Chaos, he could have more control.

Not long after he merged into the Sea of Chaos, he heard deafening roars echoing throughout the Forsaken Land of the Gods.

He emerged from the Sea of Chaos and looked up, only to see the area connecting the Forsaken Land of the Gods and the Sea of Ruins completely collapsing.

The divine kingdom of the True Creator had a large hole in its upper right corner, as if bitten by a giant creature.

"Primordial Hunger."

The God Almighty's gaze swept towards the starry sky. He had a deep understanding of the outer gods in the starry sky and knew at a glance who was attacking through the initial barrier at this moment.
