Chapter 571: Return to Position

Chapter 571: return of the stars

The devout followers before me were indeed wailing in sorrow.

Yet, the devout followers behind me were praying and shouting fervently.

The cries of "return of the stars, Stars" were so clear and melodious, so pleasant to the ear.

Hastur calmly watched as Gregory's immense wings, capable of covering the sky, were slashed by the black scythe of the everNight Goddess. He watched as Gregory struggled under the everNight Goddess's assault, and as he cautiously guarded himself under Adam's gaze.

But one thing was certain: he did not cast even a single glance for help towards himself.

Because he firmly believed he could change his final fate.

"I distinctly heard his cries of sorrow, so heart-wrenching," Hastur tried to calm his voice, "so infuriating."

Adam frowned imperceptibly, sensing that something unusual was about to happen.

"I once said, if we delay, something unexpected will surely occur."

Hastur's gaze locked onto Adam, the flames of vengeful anger in his eyes were so steadfast and confident.

"Do you know the true meaning of the title 'return of the stars, Stars'?"

Hearing this, Adam seemed to understand something. He looked up at the starry sky but still could not see through to the Hall of Stars.

"Your imagined illusory kingdom is destined to be unable to imprison the reality that transcends the stars."

Hastur glanced at the contemplative Adam, then at the everNight Goddess who wanted to end the battle swiftly. With a light chuckle, he disappeared quietly in front of Adam, within the imagined divine kingdom he had created.

Adam remained silent for a long time before murmuring, "return of the stars, the Authority of the Stars."

At this moment, he fully understood the essence of the authority of the Stars' return of the stars. The stars themselves were also a star, and the one most closely connected to the Hall of Stars.

When the power of the Hall of Stars was activated, the light avatar Hastur left within the Hall could use its power to guide Hastur's return.

return of the stars, Stars' return of the stars.

This was the core and essence of the authority of the stars.

After a brief contemplation, Adam looked towards the struggling ancient Phoenix ancestor. The imagined divine kingdom from which Hastur had escaped smashed down towards Gregory's head.

He did not mind doing a favor for the everNight Goddess at this moment.

Gregory let out a wail, and the everNight Goddess swung her black scythe to decapitate him.

Just as the everNight Goddess was about to end the divine war completely, a familiar power from above the stars enveloped Gregory.

Gregory's body, including his head, disappeared before the eyes of Adam and the everNight Goddess.

Guiding other stars to return of the stars was also part of the authority of the stars.

"return of the stars," Adam repeated the term, as if explaining something to the everNight Goddess, or perhaps repeating it out of shock.

The stars could guide the ancient gods from beyond the initial barrier to descend into the real world, so naturally, they could easily guide the Phoenix ancestor away before them.

No matter how strong the world they isolated was, it could not compare to the initial barrier.

"What a pity," the everNight Goddess left only this sentence before returning to her heavenly divine kingdom.

The stars had not fallen, so in the upcoming period, they would surely begin a frenzied retaliation, with Adam being the prime target.

"We have to try to understand his authority specifically," Adam's expression grew more serious. He also knew that a new storm was coming.

He did not stay long in the spiritual realm and soon arrived at the Abyss of Storms through it.

The Lord of Storms was preparing to return to his divine kingdom but was intercepted by Adam midway.

Seeing Adam appear, a rare trace of desolation and fear appeared in the determined eyes of the Lord of Storms.

Adam and the True Creator were the divinity and humanity of the ancient Sun God, a fact he also learned from the prayer ritual.

Because of this, he was eager to return to his divine kingdom, only to be forcibly delayed by Amon and the others.

"Long time no see, Leonard ," Adam greeted calmly, but his actions were fierce. A golden cross pressed firmly on the Lord of Storms, preventing him from returning to his divine kingdom or evading the attacks.

The only consolation was that Adam's arrival caused Amon, Medici, and Ouroboros to temporarily stop.

Amon removed the monocle from his right eye, carefully wiped it clean, and then put it back on, re-examining Adam, or rather, his old father.

Such a transformation made him feel very strange, wanting to leave but also wanting to stay and take a closer look.

Medici lowered his head in silence for a while, then his once vibrant and expressive eyes dimmed. He smiled self-deprecatingly and stood silently.

Ouroboros glanced twice before refocusing on the Lord of Storms before him. He never liked thinking about overly complex matters.

"The stars have broken free, let's end this quickly," Adam said calmly.

Ouroboros was the first to cooperate with Adam in launching an attack, followed by Medici and Amon.

In just a few breaths, the storm around the Lord of Storms was shattered, and the once blazing lightning began to dim.

Storms and waves surged across the sea, dark clouds covered the sky, and the atmosphere became oppressively heavy.

He looked up at the crack in the initial barrier, but no deity chose to save him, not even his ally, the God of Steam and Machinery, who chose to remain neutral.

"We were all deceived by you!" On the brink of despair, the Lord of Storms roared in anger and unwillingness.

"This is the path you chose," Adam said expressionlessly, summoning his bone church from Amon and smashing it down to kill the Lord of Storms completely.

Crack!

With the fall of the Lord of Storms, the Abyss of Storms cracked. The maritime divine kingdom protected by the Lord of Storms gradually collapsed and sank into the sea.

The Abyss of Storms, along with the followers of the storm, dissipated with the collapse of the Lord of Storms' terrestrial divine kingdom.

Dark clouds covered the sea and sky, extending inland, enveloping the entire land of the Loen Kingdom.

Then, the storm wailed, the lightning wept, and the torrential rain seemed to bid the Lord of Storms a final farewell.

Amon, Medici, and Ouroboros overlooked it all, while Adam reclaimed the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of the Lord of Storms. These were originally separated from him and now were easily reabsorbed.

Now, only the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of the Eternal Blazing Sun, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, remained. Once gathered, the ancient Sun God could return.

"Heh, we were all deceived by you," Amon repeated the words of the Lord of Storms. Although it was fortunate that the Father God had not completely fallen, he was not ready to accept the fact that his elder brother was like a father.

Amon gave Adam a deep look before disappearing. Ouroboros returned to the Forsaken Land to report to the True Creator.

Only Medici and Adam were left alone.

Seeing Medici's complex expression, Adam spoke calmly, "Everything is a necessary sacrifice."

Medici hesitated several times but ultimately said nothing. He waved his hand and chose to leave quietly.

At this moment, Adam, hovering above the Abyss of Storms, noticed a tremor of power from the direction of the Forsaken Land, likely from the Giant King's Court.

The stars intended to take the first blasphemy slate!

After a brief thought, Adam understood that the stars' revenge had begun.

They wanted to take the first blasphemy slate before him, preventing him from communicating with the Sea of Chaos through it.

Only he knew this secret, but facing the stars, who seemed to come from the future, he dared not take any chances.

Without hesitation, he turned and headed for the Forsaken Land.

As he prepared to cross the Sea of Ruins into the Forsaken Land, three figures appeared before him, blocking his path.

The Mother Tree of Desire, the Supernova Dominator, and the Primordial Hunger.

"I should thank you for angering the stars, otherwise I would have been trapped in the divine kingdom by the Eternal Blazing Sun," the Supernova Dominator seemed in a good mood.

Descending avatars was difficult for them, but for the stars, it was only a matter of willingness.

When the stars were angered, they actively guided their power into the initial barrier, forming avatars that could move freely and carry more power than before.

Originally, their avatars were equivalent to Sequence 1, but because of their higher status and authority, they could exert power comparable to the King of Angels.

Now, their avatars were equivalent to the King of Angels, just one step away from Sequence 0, the true god.

Even facing a true god's body, they would not be much inferior.

"Three Kings of Angels besieging a true god, such a familiar script," the Mother Tree of Desire mocked.

Originally, his injuries needed time to heal, but with the stars' help, guiding power from his true body, he quickly healed completely.

All this was thanks to Adam and the everNight Goddess for angering the stars.

The Primordial Hunger licked his lips and grinned, "Don't be nervous, I just want to taste the ancient Sun God."
