Chapter 639: The Day the Stars Returned to the Sky

In the end, Hastur stayed on the Southern Continent, happily spending New Year with Audrey and Sharon.

On January 5, 1353, Hastur took the Wish Lamp and headed towards the stars.

Above the Sunia Sea, outside the initial barrier, a fierce wind like a knife surged wildly. Hastur appeared there, surrounded by a layer of hazy starlight, standing on the Wish Lamp.

He only needed to move a little further to leave the real world and enter the starry sky.

The genie beneath him was already trembling with excitement, eager to grow legs and cross the initial barrier to return to the stars!

But no matter how excited it was, the genie did not utter a word, fearing that any comment might make Hastur turn back.

Hastur calmly observed the initial barrier for a moment before crossing it, stepping on the Wish Lamp to reach the starry sky.

At the moment Hastur left the initial barrier and reached the starry sky, the daytime sky instantly turned to night, and then the stars shone brightly.

Each star seemed to be breathing rhythmically, and the entire starry sky followed this rhythm, with the starlight gradually becoming more dazzling.

At this moment, the entire real world was enveloped in the light of the stars.

Anyone with common sense could witness the abnormality of the starry sky.

Day and night were instantly reversed, the stars gradually lit up and returned to their places, and then the starlight became as bright as the sun.

In the Southern Continent, Sharon and Audrey, who had left the palace of the Bryn Empire and were under the protection of Gregory, also witnessed the abnormality of the starry sky.

They knew that Hastur was ascending to the starry sky at this moment.

The starry sky was welcoming his return and beginning to celebrate.

However, this was not a cause for joy; rather, it was an ominous beginning.

Audrey felt a chill in her heart, her fair hands and snow-white face gradually losing color and becoming cold.

She understood Hastur's plan: to secretly ascend to the starry sky, complete the ascension ceremony, and return quietly.

The less attention he attracted during this process, the safer it would be.

To this end, Hastur deliberately stayed in the real world for a few months to confuse the judgments of Adam, the Goddess of the Night, and other deities.

But now, this scene was undoubtedly telling Adam and the others that Hastur had already left the real world for the starry sky.

Otherwise, the starry sky would not undergo such a remarkable change.

"Trust him," Sharon said, holding Audrey's cold hand with a firm expression.

Audrey held Sharon's hand back, feeling the same bone-chilling coldness, even colder than her own.

In the Rhosid Islands, Bernadette and Roselle also watched the abnormal starry sky with solemn expressions.

This scene undoubtedly indicated that the stars were returning to the sky.

"This is not a good thing," Roselle said in a deep voice. "Prepare for the unknown fate that will soon stir up great waves."

"May the light of the stars shine eternally in the sky," Bernadette prayed devoutly to the starry sky.

Seeing this, Roselle did not stop her, only sighing inwardly.

It seemed his beloved daughter was truly being taken away, just like his second son, Bonois, who chose to embrace steam.

Bernadette, his treasured daughter, was now devoutly believing in the stars.

Outside the palace, in a luxurious villa, Fors and Hugh locked the doors tightly and looked at the abnormal starry sky through the window.

They didn't understand what it represented, only vaguely knowing it was related to the stars.

"Hugh, I'm a bit uneasy. Could something big be happening?"

"Don't worry, the light of the stars will surely protect us."

"I hope you're right this time."

"If you're still worried, you can pray to the stars. I'm sure they will respond to you."

"No, there's no need. I always believe in the mercy of the stars."

Hugh said nothing more, but she also felt an inexplicable unease, as if something significant was about to happen.

Traveling to Southville County, Leonard glanced at the obviously abnormal starry sky, quickly returning to his hotel room, closing the door, and drawing the curtains.

"Old man, come and see, something's not right. It was broad daylight just now, how did it suddenly turn to night?"

"And the stars are twinkling all over the sky. Is the Goddess of the Night fighting with the stars?"

"Or has something else terrible happened?"

Leonard tried to keep his tone calm.

"This is the stars and the entire starry sky resonating with each other," Pales appeared as a shadow from within Leonard, gazing at the starry sky obscured by curtains and windows. "The stars are returning to their sky."

"Is this a good thing?" Leonard asked with difficulty.

"I don't know. I can't see through fate, nor can I speculate on beings like the stars. I only know one thing now."

"What is it?"

"Run, run as far as you can, and don't let Amon catch up."

Pales glanced at Leonard before disappearing from the room.

If he stayed any longer, Leonard's chances of encountering Amon would increase.

The return of the stars to the sky, causing such a commotion, had attracted the attention of even a Sequence 1 like him. The gods rooted outside the initial barrier, Adam, Amon, the True Creator, and others, must have also noticed everything.

True chaos was about to descend.

Above the gray fog, Klein watched the brilliant starry sky through the Sefirah Castle with a complex mood.

This was the trial Mr. Hastur was about to face, just as he himself had taken on the Sefirah Castle. Mr. Hastur, who held the Starry Hall, had already begun to challenge fate ahead of him.

"The stars have returned to their places, and Mr. Hastur will surely return. This is the blessing from the Fool."

Klein whispered, continuing to watch silently.

He no longer dared to leave the Sefirah Castle, to avoid unexpected events.

This was the advice Mr. Hastur left him before heading to the starry sky.

If the starry sky undergoes changes, it means true chaos is about to descend.

The hidden Adam, the True Creator, Amon, even the Goddess of the Night, the Primordial Witch, and the avatars of the Outer Gods summoned by the stars to the real world will all do something crazy.

In the absence of clarity, staying in the Sefirah Castle is his safest harbor.

Because no one wants the Lord of Mysteries to awaken at this time.

...

In the depths of the Land Abandoned by God, outside a massive gray fog barrier, the Mother Tree of Desire, the Supernova Dominator, the Primordial Hunger, and the Radiant Hunter, four Outer Gods of the past, gathered here.

"The stars have finally returned to the sky. This will be our best opportunity before the apocalypse arrives," the Supernova Dominator said solemnly, looking at the massive seal set by the Lord of Mysteries.

"Yes, we've finally waited for this moment," the Mother Tree of Desire nodded, glancing at the starry sky that had also become brilliant in the Land Abandoned by God. "The power and influence caused by the return of the stars have indeed caused a temporary loosening of the seal set by the Lord of Mysteries."

"The thought of the Fallen Mother and the Decay King still waiting bitterly in the starry sky makes me particularly happy," the Primordial Hunger said with a simple smile.

Appearing in the form of a female hunter, the Radiant Hunter spoke coldly, "Let's begin."

The Supernova Dominator stopped them, "No rush, two friends should also come out of the shadows first."

"This is my territory now. I have allowed you to act. Do I need to personally welcome you?"

The figure of God manifested from the darkness, followed by a massive black cross appearing in the sky, maintaining a considerable distance from God, which was the True Creator.

The Supernova Dominator glanced at God and the True Creator, saying, "Their attention is currently focused on the stars ascending to the sky. Only you truly understand what will happen."

"The return of the stars to the sky is inevitable. The stars return to their places, and the first to return is itself," God said with a smile, then looked at the seal blocked by the power of the gray fog. "If not for wanting to avoid complications, directly taking the Sefirah Castle and seizing this opportunity might truly open the seal set by the Lord of Mysteries."

"Are you going to miss this opportunity?" The Primordial Hunger asked with a playful smile.

"Yes, I'm not interested in participating personally. I just want to be an observer. Good luck to you," God said with a smile, specifically looking at the True Creator. "I'll be waiting for you in the Sea of Chaos."

God's figure disappeared, returning to the Sea of Chaos beneath the Giant King's Court.

"Heh, he's just worried that something unexpected will happen later, and Adam will take over the Sea of Chaos," the Supernova Dominator saw through God's thoughts.

No one knew what would happen later, and if something went wrong, the Lord of Mysteries was particularly sensitive to God's aura.

The True Creator's presence here proved that Adam was undoubtedly hiding in the shadows. The Sea of Chaos was currently the foundation of this fragment of God's consciousness, and God, who possessed the Sea of Chaos, would not take risks.

The Mother Tree of Desire looked at the massive black cross in the sky, "If you're not leaving, then lend a hand."

"Alright."

The True Creator's calm voice came from within the massive black cross.
