Chapter 645: The Stars, From Beyond the Universe

The Ultimate Land, also known as the Land of Malice, the Place of Slumber, and the Abyss of Sin, originates from the primordial malice.

If the initial barrier is the benevolence left by the original creator for Earth, then the Ultimate Land is the pure malice of the original creator.

Any being, whether material or immaterial, that approaches this area will be devoured and refined, disappearing completely from the starry sky.

There was once an Outer God from the past who accidentally entered this area, and under the watchful eyes of other Outer Gods, fell and disappeared without a struggle.

Some Outer Gods, who are deeply secretive about this area, speculate that the consciousness of the original creator is sleeping here, and even in slumber, its instinct continues to gather everything.

Thus, anything that enters its sphere of influence is drawn in, becoming part of the original creator.

Initially, many Outer Gods scoffed at this, claiming that if the original creator still had consciousness, the universe would not have begun anew.

Later, the boundaries of this Ultimate Land began to expand slowly each year, albeit at a very slow pace.

This was enough to make the Outer Gods wary, fearing that when the Place of Slumber envelops the entire universe, everything within it will be reenacted.

Some Outer Gods have calculated that it would take at least hundreds of trillions of years for this Place of Slumber to devour the entire universe.

A **Higher-Dimensional Observer** tinkered with the Star Hall for a while, confirming that they could not open it with their authority, and thus took it to the Ultimate Land of this starry sky.

Upon reaching the boundary of the Ultimate Land, the Higher-Dimensional Observer encountered the **Primordial Hunger**, who had been waiting there.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave," the Primordial Hunger called out to the Observer, who was about to flee. "We can talk."

"Talk about what?"

"Talk about the Star Hall in your hand, and the origin of the stars."

The Higher-Dimensional Observer emerged from the multidimensional space, with the Star Hall encased in a cage of meteoric material.

"Do you know much about the stars?"

"I should know more than you, more than all of you," the Primordial Hunger replied calmly, gazing into the distant dark and silent starry sky.

Then, a host of Outer Gods, including the Fallen Mother Goddess, Whisper of the Unquenched, Mother Tree of Desire , Supernova Dominator, King of Decay, and Child of Chaos, arrived simultaneously.

Facing so many Outer Gods, even the Higher-Dimensional Observer, who wielded the power of time and space, had to be cautious, as they could not contend with so many Outer Gods alone.

Even attempting to escape was impossible. Even if they managed to flee, they would inevitably fall.

"Are you all gathered here to witness the fall of the stars?" the Higher-Dimensional Observer asked, looking at the camp led by the Fallen Mother Goddess.

For the stars, the Fallen Mother Goddess harbored even greater hatred than the Observer.

"Stop your foolish actions," the Fallen Mother Goddess slowly spoke. "Though I wish to destroy the Star Hall and let the stars fall."

"Do you think the malice left by the original creator cannot destroy the stars?"

The Higher-Dimensional Observer looked ahead at the empty starry sky, devoid of any planets, light, or matter.

That was the Ultimate Land, the Place of Slumber, and the Forbidden Land.

Once you step into that area, you will fall completely, returning to nothingness, with no exceptions.

The Observer did not believe the stars could withstand the original creator, as that was clearly impossible.

"When the stars return to their place, chaos will rise from the depths, and the great original will awaken."

"You must have heard this ancient prophecy, right?"

"If you don't want the original creator to truly awaken, don't let the stars enter that Ultimate Land, the Place of Slumber."

The calm response from the Fallen Mother Goddess made the Higher-Dimensional Observer ponder.

They had heard this prophecy but never believed in prophecy or fate.

Those were topics favored by entities like the Ring of Fate and the Weaver of Destiny.

"Is the consciousness of the original creator truly inside?"

"That is not the consciousness of the original creator," the Fallen Mother Goddess said, stopping short of explaining what was truly inside.

"Fallen Mother Goddess, are you deliberately hiding something?" the Higher-Dimensional Observer questioned.

"You have no right or ability to question. Hand over the stars."

Seeing that the Fallen Mother Goddess had no intention of continuing the conversation, the Primordial Hunger interjected with a smile. "You only need to know that once the stars enter, the original creator will awaken early, gathering everything, and the entire universe will transform anew."

The Higher-Dimensional Observer remained silent for a moment before sending the Star Hall, which floated before them, to the middle ground between the two factions of the Fallen Mother Goddess and the Primordial Hunger.

"It's normal for the Fallen Mother Goddess to know the secret here, but you, Primordial Hunger, why do you know so much?" the Higher-Dimensional Observer still wanted clarity.

The Primordial Hunger smiled and said, "I don't know what's inside. That should be a secret known only to the Fallen Mother Goddess, God, and the Lord of Mysteries. I just know more about the origin of the stars."

"Would you mind sharing?"

"Of course." The Primordial Hunger looked at the Star Hall without attempting to seize it, but after a serious look, said, "Where do you think the stars come from?"

"Are the stars really not part of the original creator?" asked the Supernova Dominator.

"No, they do not belong to this universe," the Primordial Hunger's eyes were deep. "They are not part of the original creator. Their arrival was an accident, an unsolved mystery."

Apart from the Fallen Mother Goddess, the other Outer Gods were shocked by the Primordial Hunger's words.

The stars, which resonate so well with this starry sky, were not part of the original creator!

On the contrary, they come from an unknown place beyond comprehension.

But how could there be something outside this universe, which should contain everything?

Silence, a wordless silence.

After a while, the Mother Tree of Desire asked, "How did you learn this information?"

"Because I was lucky," the Primordial Hunger's tone carried a hint of excitement and joy. "I was fortunate to witness how the stars broke through the boundaries of this universe and descended upon this starry sky."

"It was a scene I will never forget. They crossed the endless chaos from an unknown place beyond comprehension, crossed the original creator's protection, and descended here with an indescribable brilliance."

The Primordial Hunger seemed to be lost in memory, their tone becoming passionate. "Before the stars descended, I never imagined there could be anything outside this universe. Shock, fear, and then a deep longing."

"To leave this universe, to view everything from a perspective beyond the universe, to pursue the true ultimate mystery."

"This is the real reason I am willing to go to the Star Hall and befriend the stars."

The Primordial Hunger seemed to have seen something beyond this universe, and their form began to tremble violently.

"Though your words are sincere and interesting, I still don't believe it. This is just a carefully crafted lie," the Ring of Fate coldly interrupted, breaking the atmosphere created by the Primordial Hunger.

"If the stars truly come from the universe and crossed the original creator's protection, why do they perform so poorly now?"

"Not to mention being equal to the original creator, they should at least far surpass the Fallen Mother Goddess, God, and the Lord of Mysteries, the three great pillars."

"Their performance does not match the status you described."

To such questioning, the Primordial Hunger remained calm, glancing at the Star Hall and softly saying, "This is the price they paid when they descended into this universe."

This time, the Ring of Fate did not continue questioning but fell into contemplation.

The Mother Tree of Desire , Supernova Dominator, Higher-Dimensional Observer, and other Outer Gods also pondered the Primordial Hunger's words.

According to the story told by the Primordial Hunger, it indeed made sense.

This explained why a star suddenly appeared, how the stars crossed the initial barrier, and entered Earth.

Why the Star Hall is so extraordinary and unshakable by the powers of the Outer Gods, because it does not belong to this universe.

It's like a character in a painting, no matter what abilities are used, cannot harm the viewer outside the painting.

"No, your explanation still has obvious loopholes!" This time, the questioning came from the Lamp God.
