Chapter 584: Speculations About the Original Creator

The Lamp God, the Mother Tree of Desire , the Supernova Dominator, and the Primordial Hunger arrived one after another at the Hall of Stars. This ancient and mysterious hall seemed to have lost some of its former majesty.

The Stars, seated at the head of the hall, also seemed to have lost their usual enigmatic aura.

Hastur observed their reactions closely. This was the consequence of the High-Dimensional Overseer 's betrayal.

Originally, there were seven attendees; now, only four remained, nearly half gone, as if they had regressed to a much earlier time.

Hastur understood that in such moments, it was crucial to assert his authority; otherwise, it would be difficult to control the Outer Gods like the Mother Tree of Desire in the future.

Today's gathering was unusually quiet. Even the Lamp God, who usually enjoyed talking, chose to remain silent.

"It's rare to have such silence today," Hastur remarked with a light smile, glancing at them. "The High-Dimensional Overseer truly was a great pioneer, showing you a different path."

These words seemed somewhat off.

The Lamp God, the Mother Tree of Desire , the Supernova Dominator, and the Primordial Hunger all turned their gaze to Hastur, waiting for his next words.

Hastur said nothing further, merely magnifying the star where the High-Dimensional Overseer resided within the Hall of Stars, with the chain of stars extending behind him.

Under the watchful eyes of the Outer Gods, the High-Dimensional Overseer was seen constantly dodging back and forth in the depths of the starry sky, repeatedly using his powers to avoid the chain of stars. However, no matter where he fled, the chain could easily appear from any corner of the sky.

"The self-proclaimed clever traitor seems to have forgotten that there are different orders and rules here," Hastur murmured in a deep voice.

The Lamp God, with a solemn expression, re-examined the rules and order of the Hall of Stars. He had delved deep into this path and believed there should be no rules or order that could suppress him.

He had always struggled to understand this issue, but now, hearing Hastur's words, he seemed to grasp something.

Perhaps the rules and order of the Hall of Stars were independent of the starry sky and this universe.

In other words, the rules and order of the Hall of Stars were not part of the Original Creator!

But could such a thing really exist?

The Original Creator created everything, including the three great pillars: the Fallen Mother Goddess, God, and the Lord of Mysteries, all parts of the Original Creator, though his consciousness had not awakened within them.

Of course, there was another possibility, a hypothesis he had once dismissed.

The Stars themselves could be the Original Creator, the source of all rules and order, capable of easily suppressing him, ignoring the barriers of the original, and summoning the Outer Gods from across the starry sky to attend the meeting.

But this seemed impossible. If the Stars were the Original Creator, then by the nature of aggregation, the entire universe would recombine and restart.

Unless...

The Lamp God stared deeply at the Stars seated at the head, murmuring to himself, "Unless the Original Creator has a rational side."

This was an absurd and insane idea.

The Original Creator was the embodiment of all contradictions in the universe, naturally prone to uncontrollable division, which would then lead to a strong tendency to recombine.

The Original Creator had only the instinct to aggregate, a fact recognized by all the Outer Gods.

The Lamp God shook his head, suppressing this crazy idea, and focused on the High-Dimensional Overseer being chased by the chain of stars.

A thought crept into his mind: all their knowledge and understanding of the universe came from the Original Creator. But what if the knowledge they inherited from the Original Creator was incomplete?

Why must the Original Creator have only instincts?

Why couldn't he have a rational side?

"Too crazy," the Lamp God muttered self-mockingly.

The Mother Tree of Desire , the Supernova Dominator, and the Primordial Hunger all turned their eyes towards him.

"Such a subtle comment coming from you is quite surprising," the Mother Tree of Desire chuckled.

"Hah, calling the High-Dimensional Overseer foolish is the highest praise," the Lamp God retorted, regaining his sharp personality. "He was easily swayed by Adam during a visit to the real world and chose to betray the Stars. I wonder if he regrets it now?"

Since he couldn't uncover the secrets of the Stars, he decided to show them the respect they deserved. Testing and arrogance were better left to the Mother Tree of Desire and the other Outer Gods.

The Primordial Hunger narrowed his eyes and agreed, "Adam is a true god of the audience pathway, holding dominion over the mind, adept at discerning the mental weaknesses of all beings."

The Lamp God, with a hint of disdain, commented, "Arrogance, overconfidence, fear, hesitation... The High-Dimensional Overseer , who loves to hide in the shadows, is bound to be tainted by these traits."

"I've always believed that wisdom doesn't necessarily grow with age."

"Foolishness has nothing to do with the strength of one's power."

The Mother Tree of Desire and the Supernova Dominator, who had been silent, began to feel uneasy. The Lamp God and the Primordial Hunger's dialogue seemed to elevate the status of the Stars, causing them to grow more wary.

The Lamp God and the Primordial Hunger exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of camaraderie.

Hastur, who had been listening quietly, almost couldn't hold back. The Lamp God and the Primordial Hunger's cooperation saved him a lot of effort.

To make others think you're powerful, it's not enough to say it yourself; you need others to praise you, especially if those praising you are highly esteemed. Your image will then be elevated.

After this meeting, Hastur decided to have Bernadette treat the Lamp God better. In crucial moments, it was the Lamp God who came through.

While Hastur was contemplating, the High-Dimensional Overseer was struck again by the chain of stars, successfully capturing one of his avatars.

"Stars!"

As soon as the High-Dimensional Overseer 's avatar entered the Hall of Stars, he glared fiercely at Hastur.

"This is just the beginning," Hastur said, not giving the avatar a chance to speak, and sealed him in theBox of Old Days.

This scene had a different significance for the Mother Tree of Desire and the Supernova Dominator.

The Stars seemed to be continuously weakening the High-Dimensional Overseer 's power and dominion.

Although this process was slow, over millennia, the High-Dimensional Overseer 's power would be completely drained.

Moreover, the Stars were gradually awakening. Once fully awake, this process would be significantly accelerated.

The High-Dimensional Overseer 's actions in this matter were truly foolish.

The Mother Tree of Desire and the Supernova Dominator, for once, agreed with the Lamp God's judgment, and their disdain for the Stars diminished.

With this consensus, the meeting returned to its usual state.

In a good mood, Hastur looked at the starry sky and said, "You may each nominate an Outer God for the vacant seats in the Hall of Stars. Give me your answers at the next gathering."

This statement excited the Mother Tree of Desire , the Supernova Dominator, and the Primordial Hunger.

This was an opportunity for them to gain significant benefits!

Many Outer Gods were interested in the Stars and longed to attend the meetings, a privilege even the Fallen Mother Goddess couldn't obtain.

Unfortunately, the Stars would not allow the Fallen Mother Goddess into the Hall of Stars.

The Mother Tree of Desire felt regret, believing that if the Stars were willing to let go of past grievances, the Fallen Mother Goddess would gladly attend the meetings.

The most regretful was the Lamp God. Since being sealed in the Wishing Lamp by the Lord of Mysteries, his other half had hidden in the depths of the starry sky, avoiding contact with any Outer Gods.

The Stars' recommendation privilege was of little use to him.

"I can recommend someone for you," the Supernova Dominator noticed the Lamp God's predicament.

"Hah, let me help you. Your reputation in the starry sky isn't great."

"Still better than yours."

The Lamp God chuckled and didn't continue the argument.

If anyone had a notorious reputation, the Lord of Mysteries was first, and he was definitely in the top three.

The High-Dimensional Overseer had once mocked him, saying that when he was sealed in the Wishing Lamp, the starry sky celebrated with a rare meteor shower.

Hastur quietly watched their conversation. When it was nearly over, he shifted the topic to Adam, the True Creator, and God awakening from the Sea of Chaos.
