Chapter 76: The Lamp God and Mother Tree of Desire ’s New Deal

Chapter 76: The Lamp God and Mother Tree of Desire 's New Deal

Silence.

The Lamp God, not knowing what to say, awkwardly withdrew his two golden legs from atop the table and straightened his posture.

Mother Tree of Desire clearly had no intention of speaking up to break the ice for the Lamp God.

Hastur watched the Lamp God with interest, amused by the thought of setting a trap for himself, only to end up cleaning up his own mess. His mood must be quite splendid.

He wanted to let him fully experience this awkward and helpless atmosphere.

To see if he would dare to test himself again next time.

Why couldn't he just learn from Miss Justice?

To have a sense of ownership!

You are the first Outer God to come to the Pantheon of Stars, yet you have not played your role or shown your value.

And sitting so far away, you lack the courage of Mother Tree of Desire .

When more Outer Gods come to the meetings in the future, won't you find your position awkward?

Hastur silently criticized in his heart, wishing Miss Justice could give the Lamp God a good lesson.

The lesson would be called: On the Consciousness of Ownership and the Spirit of Voluntary Service.

Facing the gazes of Hastur and Mother Tree of Desire , the Lamp God felt embarrassed for a while and had to take the initiative to speak: "Recently, I have sensed the imminent return of the lord of the Mysterious."

"Really?"

Mother Tree of Desire became serious and no longer sat in silence, watching the Lamp God's joke.

"It's just a feeling, which you should understand. At our level, any feeling could be a reminder from fate."

The Lamp God was not sure; it was just a sudden sensation.

After encountering the Pantheon of Stars, he liked to look up at the starry sky and try to find the existence of the Star Sovereign.

Recently, he suddenly had a feeling that the lord of the Mysterious was about to return.

The Wishing Lamp was the prison where the lord of the Mysterious confined him, but through it, he could vaguely sense the state of the lord of the Mysterious.

Otherwise, being sealed in the Wishing Lamp, he would not have known that the lord of the Mysterious had fallen long ago.

Hastur remained expressionless, showing no reaction.

The only thing he found strange was that Klein had not yet been born from the Source Fortress, so how could the Lamp God have noticed?

With the lord of the Mysterious's ability back then, it should not have been difficult to sever the connection with the Wishing Lamp.

Mother Tree of Desire said, "Before the return of the lord of the Mysterious, if you cannot return to the starry sky, then you will be forever imprisoned in the Wishing Lamp, unable to regain your wholeness and freedom."

"No need to remind me, let's make a deal." The Lamp God, having been put in his place, now had only one thought: to return to the starry sky as soon as possible.

As for other disputes of pride, he no longer cared.

"Help me complete a true descent, and I will help you return to the starry sky."

A true descent?

Hastur's heart skipped a beat. The true descent mentioned by Mother Tree of Desire couldn't be referring to his true body breaking through the initial barrier and arriving on Earth, could it?

Could the Lamp God's wish achieve this step?

The Lamp God fell silent for a moment and then said, "Unless you can snatch the Wishing Lamp from Bernadette's hands, I cannot fulfill this wish."

The power of the Wishing Lamp itself was not enough to fulfill this wish, but Bernadette had already accumulated two wishes. If she made a third wish, the twisted wish could exert a power far beyond the Wishing Lamp itself, coupled with his influence, it could exert a power surpassing that of a true god.

This power, combined with Mother Tree of Desire , could possibly allow him to descend to Earth ahead of time.

"Tell me Bernadette's location."

The Lamp God smiled, "Bernadette is my follower, and she is very important to me."

Mother Tree of Desire remained silent, seemingly pondering the meaning behind the Lamp God's words.

Hastur understood the subtext in the Lamp God's words; Bernadette was his follower, and to deal with her, more money would be required.

Ahem, the stakes needed to be raised; only with sufficient stakes would he choose to betray Bernadette.

"What do you want?" Mother Tree of Desire also understood the meaning behind the Lamp God's words.

The Lamp God said with emotion, "You all should know that when I was sealed in the Wishing Lamp by the lord of the Mysterious, there was another part of me deep in the starry sky. If you send that part of me to Earth, I will help you complete a true descent."

"Impossible."

Mother Tree of Desire flatly refused.

She knew that what the Lamp God referred to was the Indeterminate Mist drifting deep in the starry sky, which was also equivalent to an Outer God.

If the Indeterminate Mist could be sent to Earth, then she could descend directly, without needing the Lamp God's help.

Moreover, she had her own followers on Earth and had contaminated the Bound God, so her influence was much greater than that of the Lamp God sealed in the Wishing Lamp.

She was still unable to truly descend, so the Lamp God was even less capable of doing so.

"No, you can."

The Lamp God's tone became serious, "I only need you to send a part of the Indeterminate Mist, not a complete descent. Moreover, the Indeterminate Mist has a characteristic; it can penetrate the initial barrier more easily than you."

The Lamp God did not elaborate on the characteristics of the Indeterminate Mist, still keeping some reservations.

Mother Tree of Desire considered seriously for a while and then chuckled, "Heh, the other part of you, in order to protect itself, has long since fled deep into the starry sky and has not shown itself for a long time."

"Facing you hungry hunters, any self-protective action is normal. As long as you agree to my conditions, at the right time, it will naturally manifest from deep in the starry sky."

"One Bernadette is not enough." Mother Tree of Desire was moved.

The Lamp God leaned back, his tone becoming relaxed again, "We always need to take a step back to break the deadlock. To be the first among all the Outer Gods to descend to Earth and plunder all creation, this is already the best deal."

After speaking, the Lamp God looked up at the starry sky above, his gaze sweeping across the stars.

Now, in this Pantheon of Stars, there were only him and Mother Tree of Desire , two Outer Gods. Once the Star Sovereign summoned more Outer Gods, the situation would become complicated.

For Mother Tree of Desire , it would be difficult to take the lead again.

To cooperate with him in advance and form an offensive and defensive alliance would not only better face the Star Sovereign but also the other Outer Gods who would come to the meeting later.

This was also very beneficial for Mother Tree of Desire .

However, she must take the first step and pay a part of the price in advance.

As Mother Tree of Desire had said before, they were not equal; Mother Tree of Desire was in a better state, so she could only step back first.

"Fine, I can help you restore some of your strength first."

"Deal."

The Lamp God was very pleased, unconsciously materializing a pair of golden legs and crossing them on the table.

But when he caught Hastur's gaze, he withdrew his legs again, his pleased mood doused with cold water, returning to his usual calm.

"Tell me your thoughts."

The Lamp God said solemnly, "First, you must get your followers to obtain a Judgment card or a Black Emperor card, or an item containing a seal no lower than the second sequence level. After all, the Land of Disorder has been sealed by that guy, the lord of the Mysterious, in the Western Continent, and you definitely cannot find it, let alone touch it."

"With the power of rules and order, then conduct the ceremony in the way I provide. You only need to help send a part of the Indeterminate Mist to Earth at the crucial moment to complete the deal."

"As long as the Indeterminate Mist enters Earth, it will naturally merge with me. Even if the so-called Seven Gods descend, they cannot stop this process. Merging is instinctive, and their divine status is not enough to affect me."

Mother Tree of Desire looked deeply at the Lamp God, "You will use this to break free from the Wishing Lamp's seal and regain half of your former strength?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely guide you to Earth first, and then go to retrieve the sealed Land of Disorder."

"I will have to take a great risk for this."

"You should trust my promise. In the starry sky, no Outer God values a deal more than I do."

The Lamp God's voice was majestic and authoritative, surrounded by a golden glow, as if some rule was being formed, as if his words were the golden rule, which once spoken, would definitely be realized.

Hastur glanced at him indifferently, the starlight falling and shattering the Lamp God's dazzling show-off glow.

The Lamp God coughed lightly and said, "Besides, with the stars as witnesses, I cannot break today's agreement."

Hastur did not speak; his role was that of a witness, witnessing everything.

"Good."

Mother Tree of Desire thought for a long time and finally agreed to take the first step and help the Lamp God regain his strength.

After all, compared to other methods of descent, finding a Tarot card is indeed very simple. The only thing to be wary of is whether the Lamp God would break the deal.

But this is the Pantheon of Stars, under the watch of the stars, if the Lamp God dares to renege on the deal, not only would he be violating his own principles and order, but he would also suffer backlash from the stars.

"Pleasure doing business." The Lamp God, seeing a way out of his predicament, was obviously in a good mood.

He thought for a moment and then said with a hint of respect, "This is an excellent place for a gathering, a land of hope."

Hastur looked at the Lamp God and said indifferently, "Time, while nurturing miracles, is also brewing endless changes."

The Lamp God paused, "You don't think highly of my alliance with Mother Tree of Desire ?"

Could I think highly of it? Once any of you achieves your goal, Earth will inevitably face destruction.

Even without change, I would create change, not allowing your plans to succeed.

At least until I can leave the starry sky, I won't let you escape first.

Hastur criticized internally, then slowly said, "There are more than just the lord of the Mysterious awakening; time is not on your side."

The Lamp God asked subconsciously, "Who else is about to awaken?"

"I am but a witness; you need to find the answer yourself."

Hearing this ambiguous, almost nonsensical response, the Lamp God clenched his fist slightly.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat him, he really wanted to give this Star Sovereign a beating! His mood was good, but after being simply spoken to like this, it became heavy again.

This guy is definitely doing it on purpose!
