Chapter 655: Origin Father God? The Great Benevolent Father!

Chapter 655: Origin Father God? The Great Benevolent Father!

The history of the starry sky is vast, with countless Outer Gods emerging over time. Some shone like comets, while others fell like meteors, and some remain eternal and undying.

The Lamp God admitted that what he knew of the starry sky's history was just a fraction. In corners of the cosmos he had never reached or heard of, there were equally fascinating stories.

Hastur only paid attention to a few interesting Outer Gods from the past before instructing the Lamp God to use the nomination he had once granted him.

"Can even the fallen Outer Gods be nominated?" The Lamp God was incredulous.

Hastur didn't speak, only smiled at him.

"I trust the authority of the stars." The Lamp God took a deep look at Hastur and recommended a comrade who had fallen countless years ago, a companion he once fought alongside.

The Origin Father God.

This name seemed fated for the Lamp God, Hastur thought to himself with a hint of sarcasm.

An Origin Father God, a Child of Chaos, father and son—if you add a Fallen Mother God, it becomes quite complex.

Hastur accepted the Lamp God's recommendation and instructed him to lead the way to the place where the Origin Father God had fallen or where his consciousness might still linger.

The power of "Return" is primarily about restoration, not resurrection.

If nothing remains of a being, the power of "Return" cannot forcibly bring them back.

However, making a powerful Outer God completely vanish is a challenging task.

The Lamp God guided through the starry sky while Hastur sat in the Hall of Stars, waiting. When the Lamp God reached the fallen comrade's location, his voice trembled with rare emotion: "Is it really possible?"

"If he hasn't completely fallen," Hastur replied, descending from the Hall of Stars in a beam of starlight to stand beside the Lamp God, beginning to wield the power of "Return."

At this moment, he resembled a high priest chanting ancient hymns, communicating with the entire starry sky, calling the soul back.

The power of "Return" is indeed similar to summoning a soul, but more advanced.

Under the repeated calls of "Return," translucent ripples appeared in the starry sky.

It seemed something was indeed crossing life and death, time and space, gathering from all corners of the starry sky.

But this fluctuation lasted only a moment before the returning consciousness was devoured by an Outer God.

On this day, the Lamp God, regaining the power of a Child of Chaos, roared in anger across the starry sky.

The Outer God that blocked the power of "Return" was torn apart by the Lamp God, crushed into pieces.

After doing all this, the Lamp God looked at the empty sky and asked unwillingly, "Is it over?"

"Are you still hoping for a miracle?" Hastur deliberately spoke slowly.

"I believe in the stars," the Lamp God replied confidently.

"Return."

Hastur clicked his tongue softly and wielded the power of "Return" once more.

This isn't a one-time skill; if interrupted, it can be used again.

If the power of "Return" was so easily disturbed, the stars would be quite lacking.

Seeing this, the Lamp God felt complicated, as if the stars had played a trick on him, asking if he believed in miracles but not if he believed in light.

But fortunately, it was still a happy occasion.

Soon, the consciousness gathered from all over the starry sky began to coalesce into a small dot, glowing faintly, then growing brighter, forming a phantom of light.

The Lamp God was excited, while Hastur just glanced at it and then looked away in surprise, silently thinking, "Why is it called the Origin Father God? It's clearly the Great Benevolent Father."

Yes, a will born of despair, with a tendency towards destruction, controlling all viruses and plagues.

He accepts all followers, regardless of age, ugliness, goodness, or evil, embracing humanity like a benevolent father guiding his beloved children.

A classic green-skinned toad image.

"Oh, look, isn't this my friend, the Child of Chaos? Have you come to join me?"

"Without the guidance of the Great Benevolent Father, you must be weary of this lonely and ethereal starry sky, right?"

"Come, embrace me, let the Father's care soothe your tormented soul."

Before the Lamp God could speak, his good friend opened his mouth full of teeth, calling out warmly.

"Ahem, old guy, you're not completely dead yet. I used the power of the stars to call back a fragment of your consciousness from the abyss of despair." The Lamp God, usually shameless, felt embarrassed.

"Oh, I heard it, a strange call leading me through the eternal darkness and cold."

"That's the power of the stars."

"The stars? This starry sky is becoming more colorful."

As soon as he said this, the phantom of the Origin Father God began to dim, leaving only a faint glow, ready to extinguish at any moment.

The Lamp God looked at the stars in surprise, hoping for an explanation.

"He needs to take the final step himself," Hastur suppressed his urge to complain.

Although he had used the power of "Return" to bring back a fragment of the Origin Father God's consciousness, the latter didn't grasp the situation and wasted his limited power on banter with the Lamp God.

Now that power was exhausted, and it would take a long rest to recover.

But for him, this was already an achievement—reviving a dead star, fulfilling his purpose.

"He has been fallen for so long that his mind is a bit muddled," the Lamp God explained for his friend, then whispered, "Thank you."

See, in the end, he still had to thank him, right?

Hastur just nodded, and the incarnation of the stars dissipated before the Lamp God.

As for the future of the Origin Father God, it depended on his own will.

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur withdrew his gaze from the Lamp God, thinking of the image of the Origin Father God, finding it hard not to laugh, "The Great Benevolent Father and his good son."

"I really shouldn't have expected the Lamp God to have a normal friend."

"I really shouldn't have had such expectations for the Lamp God."

After a bout of complaining, Hastur felt much better.

Just as he brought the Origin Father God back from death, he sensed some fluctuations in the Hall of Stars.

This was indeed the ascension ceremony to Sequence 1, awakening three dead stars. Counting the awakening of the God Consciousness, Gregary, and the Night Emperor, it was enough for three stars.

It seemed it was time to ascend to Sequence 1, the Singer of the Stars.

Hastur sat quietly in the Hall of Stars for two days, confirming his state was optimal before taking the Sequence 1 potion, Singer of the Stars.

...

To the vast starry sky, the shining light of the stars, though bright, soon returned to the deep darkness and silence like the rest of the cosmos.

Most of the awakened Outer Gods now lay outside the original barrier, drooling, eager to extend their tentacles inside and feast.

Unfortunately, the original barrier remained an insurmountable wall for them.

During this time, the Fallen Mother God was very active, with many Outer Gods choosing to join her camp, standing against the stars.

Their reasons were simple: the stars' return, chaos rising, and the ancient prophecy of the first awakening.

This ancient prophecy had spread across the starry sky before the stars began to emerge.

The appearance of the stars validated the prophecy's credibility.

For the Outer Gods, who stood at the pinnacle of this universe, they naturally did not want the consciousness of the original Creator to awaken.

They also feared the stars would awaken the original Creator.

Once the original Creator awoke, the universe would restart. As outsiders, the stars could survive, but they would become the new universe's nourishment.

Even without the banner of the Fallen Mother God, the Outer Gods who understood the stars' origins would choose to stand against them.

One is a pillar of the universe, the other an outsider.

The Lamp God did not involve himself in these chaotic matters. He focused on guarding the small dot of consciousness, preventing it from being devoured by the hungry Outer Gods.

Even the Mother Tree of Desire and the Supernova Dominator were kept at bay when they sought to discuss matters with him.

Finally, the small dot of consciousness once again gathered into a familiar figure.
