Chapter 614: The Black Devourer and the Radiant Hunter

Chapter 614: The Black Devourer and the Radiant Hunter

*Sigh*, the current Lamp God has become wise, knowing to save energy and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Hastur felt a bit regretful. He glanced at the Black Devourer, who, without saying anything, shrank his neck slightly, lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake, and walked to an empty seat on the same side as the Lamp God.

He placed his hands on the table, rested his head on them, and looked at Hastur sideways with his shiny black eyes, revealing curiosity and joy, and perhaps attachment?

Why does this look like my own offspring?

This scene also caught the attention of the other Outer Gods. Their gazes turned towards him, showing thoughtful expressions.

They all knew that besides being called the Black Sun, the Black Devourer had another name: the Unborn God.

This means that he is still in the process of growing and nurturing, not yet truly born from that black star. The real him has never appeared.

It is said that when he is truly born, he will either rule or destroy the current universe, creating a more twisted one.

This claim did not attract much attention from the Outer Gods, as only the original Creator has the ability to create a new universe. Even God, the original Creator, does not have the ability to create a complete universe.

Such an obviously still juvenile being is even less likely to possess such power.

The Lamp God watched for a while and said cheerfully, "All stars belong to the stars. He is nurtured in the black star, so he is the offspring of the stars."

Hastur remained silent, thinking to himself, if the Black Devourer nurtured in the black star is his offspring, then what about the Super Star Ruler?

Wouldn't that be his eldest son?

Sure enough, the Super Star Ruler's expression changed slightly, and he sneered, "According to your logic, whose child is the Child of Chaos?"

"I am naturally the child of the original Creator, so I am nobler than you." The Lamp God was well-prepared for such a question.

"Stop flattering yourself. The essence controlled by God is called the Sea of Chaos. You, as the Child of Chaos, seem to be an illegitimate child of God who was abandoned outside the stars. No wonder you fear Him so much."

The Lamp God's mouth twitched, almost unable to hold back his anger. What does it mean to be God's illegitimate child?

Ha, does God have such an ability?

"Isn't that your logic?" The Primordial Hunger also laughed lightly.

"Hmph, nonsense." The Lamp God couldn't be bothered to argue with the Super Star Ruler and the Primordial Hunger.

The Black Devourer, sitting nearby, said nothing, just looking at Hastur with his big black eyes, like a sad baby abandoned by his parents, waiting for Hastur to acknowledge him.

"Continue," Hastur said, his face expressionless.

The Black Devourer showed a clear look of disappointment.

"This is the resting place of the Radiant Hunter."

The Super Star Ruler pointed to a particularly bright and dazzling starry sky.

In that starry sky, the most brilliant light did not come from the nearby stars but from a giant compound eye comparable to a star.

Its brilliance suppressed the light of other stars. Just standing in the ancient, deep universe, it emitted an unapproachable dazzling radiance.

The radiant light did not have a scorching temperature; on the contrary, it emitted an extremely cold aura. Once close, it felt as if even the soul would be frozen.

When the Chains of the Stars extended, they were covered with frost, like an ice pillar extending to the Radiant Hunter.

Soon, the Radiant Hunter sent a clone to follow the Chains of the Stars to the Hall of Stars.

Its form was a smaller version of the compound eye, looking like a composite of minerals and plants.

"Stars," the Radiant Hunter's gaze swept around and landed on Hastur, "If you want to deal with the Fallen Mother God, I might have some good suggestions for you."

"I believe that day won't be far off," Hastur nodded slightly, "Choose a seat."

The Radiant Hunter naturally sat next to the Super Star Ruler.

This time, except for the Lamp God not recommending new members, the Star Council gained three more Outer Gods.

Hastur's gaze swept over them one by one: the Decay King was steady and wise, the Radiant Hunter was cold and aloof.

As for the Black Devourer, he was naive and innocent. Although such words seem too childish to describe an Outer God, that was the impression he gave.

"Welcome to the new members." The Lamp God, who did not recommend new members, seemed happier than the other Outer Gods, almost clapping in welcome.

"There are still four seats left." The Mother Tree of Desire glanced at the four empty seats.

"I wonder what surprises the next Outer God to arrive at the Hall of Stars will bring," the Super Star Ruler showed a hint of anticipation.

The Decay King looked at Hastur and said in a deep voice, "What conditions are needed to let a clone pass through the Primordial Barrier with the help of the stars?"

The Black Devourer and the Radiant Hunter's gazes also focused on Hastur.

"A condition within our capabilities," Hastur said flatly.

This was his purpose in expanding the Star Council.

Having more Outer Gods meant more power he could leverage. Crucially, the newly joined Outer Gods could be used as ambush troops.

Even if Adam and the True Creator merged into one, they would not be able to withstand the siege of six Outer Gods.

Unless they restored themselves to the true Ancient Sun God and controlled the Sea of Chaos.

But with God already awakened, they could not possess such power.

As for more Outer Gods entering the Primordial Barrier causing more chaos in the real world?

Is the current real world peaceful and conflict-free?

Some of Adam and the True Creator's actions were no different from those of the Outer Gods.

With this consensus, the Star Council proceeded smoothly.

"Heh heh, Adam and the True Creator are in trouble," the Lamp God gloated.

The Decay King said, "I am more interested in the awakening of God's consciousness."

"I heard that the Fallen Mother God recently let her offspring enter the Primordial Barrier through a ritual," the Radiant Hunter's tone carried a hint of greed and joy.

"The Fallen Mother God has been vying for the Crimson Moon recently. If you're interested, you can join," the Mother Tree of Desire invited the Radiant Hunter.

The Radiant Hunter did not agree, only calmly said, "Currently, some Outer Gods are also gathering around the Fallen Mother God. Acting rashly will only bring disaster."

The Lamp God became interested, "Which Outer Gods are around the Fallen Mother God now?"

"The Ring of Fate, the Unquenchable Murmur, the Weaver of Destiny, the Lord of the Black Lake, the Shadow of the Apocalypse..."

The Decay King seemed familiar with these matters, naming seven or eight Outer Gods in succession.

The Radiant Hunter looked at Hastur and whispered, "The threat from the stars has made them abandon their conflicts and choose to cooperate."

"Has the High-Dimensional Overseer not joined the Fallen Mother God's camp yet?" the Lamp God asked curiously.

"His whereabouts are always hard to detect, rarely observed, making it difficult to determine."

"His relationship with the Fallen Mother God is not close."

"Betrayers deserve to die," the Black Devourer's black eyes flickered with flames, "Those who betray the stars should die to atone."

The Lamp God clicked his tongue but said nothing.

The Primordial Hunger smiled and said, "You still need time to nurture, no need to rush."

"I need enough nourishment." The Black Devourer glanced at the Lamp God with a hungry look.

"He is not suitable as your food. With only half of him left, he has no hunting value." The Radiant Hunter naturally added another blow.

The Lamp God just raised his head slightly and let out a few cold laughs.

What a joke, if he can't beat him, can't he run?

The universe is vast; without something like the Chains of the Stars, it would be hard to find him.

Otherwise, his other half would not have been able to wait safely in the universe until today.
