Mystery: The Return of the Stars

The black robe outlines the figure, like the deepest lightless darkness in the starry sky, with stars dotted inside, as if the starry sky has been integrated into the body.

He has a pair of pupils, but no facial features. The pupils are... dark black? Red gold? Orange? Turquoise?

It's hard to describe it in such shallow words.

If you look carefully, you will find that it is not a pair of pupils, but stars that gather together to accommodate each other, just like a galaxy condensed into a point the size of a pupil.

His arms were long and slender, and the palm of his right hand was holding a dark red planet, which he was gently playing with. His left hand was naturally placed on the table, and his fingers tapped the table rhythmically.

Just sitting quietly on the chair, He naturally became the master of this place. The palace was splendid because of His presence, and the stars praised His presence.

The Djinn stared for a long time, then slowly said: "Who are you? Super star master?"

At their level, their appearance does not mean anything. To be precise, they have never had a fixed form.

Although the image of the being in front of him does not look like the Superstar Master he knows, it does not rule out that the Superstar Master comes with a new identity.

"What do you think?" Hasta's tone was very calm, and seemed to have a slight chuckle.

"Oh, you are not a super star master."

The Djinn rejected the possibility that the existence in front of him was a super star master.

"Don't you want to choose a location?"

Hastur's tone was still very calm, but it also carried an irresistible majesty.

The Djinn glanced at the positions five rows on each side, and finally floated to the last chair on the left, putting the farthest distance away from Hastur.

Very wary.

The lantern god glanced at the height between the chair and the long table. His figure suddenly grew several times larger, and a pair of pale golden arms stretched out from both sides of the wishing lantern. Then he slowly sat down, with his arms placed on the long table, and his body Lean back slightly, trying to make your posture appear as relaxed as possible.

After a long silence, the Djinn saw that the other party had no thoughts, and took the initiative to say: "There is an aura of rules and order here, but it is not the main body. The stars are the eternal theme here. I once remembered that God has a star master. It’s a title, but it’s not Him.”

Only now did the Djinn finally let down some of his guard.

There is a power of order and rules here, but they are all under the stars, which means that the power held by the other party is slightly related to one's own, but it is not the main body.

Just like the Fallen Mother Goddess and the Mother Tree of Desire, they both have the ability to reproduce, but one represents all the negative power in the universe, and the other represents the authority of the desires of all things.

The two powers overlap, but are not the same.

"In your understanding, the stars are equal to the star realm?" Hastur's tone was still light, but this time it was a little disapproving.

In fact, he himself does not understand the relationship between the star realm and the stars. Do the stars exist in the star realm, or is the star realm just a small part of the starry sky, a small world opened up by the supreme power?

No way, the explanation and description of the star realm in the original work is also very vague.

Only the three-layer structure of occultism is mentioned: the real world, the spiritual world, and the astral world.

God does have another name: Lord of the Stars, but as a pillar with God is the Lord of Mysteries and the Fallen Mother Goddess.

It can be seen that the star realm does not contain everything, otherwise the Lord of Mysteries and the Fallen Mother Goddess will succumb to God.

Naturally, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask the djinn to explain it, or let him figure it out on his own.

Anyway, my strength cannot be reduced.

"The star realm is naturally not the same as the stars. I still know this knowledge."

The Djinn felt like he was being underestimated, and there was a little anger in his tone.

"The star realm is a special world opened up among the stars. Some outer gods belonged to the star realm in the past, but there are also existences that are not included in the star realm."

The genie explained, indicating that he was not so ignorant.

"Impossible! You can't be the Lord of the Stars!" The Djinn's voice suddenly became louder.

"The stars contain everything, everything. Only the original Creator can be called its master, and you are definitely not!"

The Djinn's tone was firm, but Hastur could hear his nervousness and lack of confidence.

It seems that the djinn is not as sure about his guess as he says on the surface!

Yes, after all, the original creator has always been alive and lives in everything. The more powerful the existence, the more likely it is that the consciousness of the original creator will awaken in the body.

For example, for the Djinn, there is no problem in saying that he is part of the original creator. It is just that he gave birth to his own consciousness and only recognized his identity as the son of chaos, not the original creator.

God, the Lord of Mysteries, and the Fallen Mother Goddess are all the same, and they can all be called parts of the original Creator.

But none of them wanted to be the First Creator.

"Your stupidity is impressive." Hastur commented lightly.

"..."

The Djinn God also knew that he was too fussy just now and seemed to have no IQ.

If the other party was the original creator, then according to the instinct of aggregation, he would have been devoured long ago, and it would be impossible for him to sit here and chat with himself.

Because the Creator had no human side in the beginning. He only had the instinct of gathering and dividing. He would gather everything and then break it apart again, over and over again, endlessly.

The scene became quiet for a moment, and the Deng Shen seemed a little embarrassed. After a while, he took the initiative to drop the topic.

"Are you the alien god who just arrived in the starry sky here?"

The Genie had a new guess. He basically recognized the old Outer Gods who were entrenched outside the barrier.

But he had no impression of the temple in front of him that contained the power of the stars.

Then the other party's identity should be the new Outer God who came here from the edge of the distant universe after he was secretly sealed.

The status of this temple is definitely not low. Although he doesn't want to admit it, he should not be able to compare with the other party in status.

"The doomsday prophecy here is very interesting."

Hastur did not answer the Genie's question directly. He didn't know the origin of the Hall of Stars. Even if he knew, he couldn't tell the Genie directly.

So instead of following the Genie's words, it's better to take the initiative, so that it can appear more mysterious.

"It's really interesting, and it's coming soon." The Genie didn't continue the topic just now.

"The end of the world is coming. What kind of ending will the incomplete you have? This is also worth looking forward to."

"..."

The Genie didn't know what to say for a while.

The reason why he tried his best to return to the starry sky before the end of the world was to avoid the worst situation.

When the barrier is broken and the doomsday comes, if He still cannot get rid of the seal, then the Outer Gods and the Old Ones who are rushing in will definitely swallow Him.

Even if He is on a different path from the other party.

Because the group of hungry predators outside have been waiting for a long time, they definitely don’t mind eating a dessert first to relieve their cravings.

As for the chaos and madness after swallowing?

Even if they don’t swallow, how much rationality can they still have?

Aggregation is an instinct, but not every existence can resist this instinct.

"I know you have the ability to help me get rid of the seal. Tell me, what deal do you want to make with me?"

The Lamp God no longer pretended and directly negotiated.

No, I don’t have the ability to help you get rid of the seal.

Hastur muttered in his heart. He actually knew very little about the Hall of Stars, and he was only Sequence 8. Even with the help of the Hall of Stars, he couldn’t help the Lamp God to unlock the seal set by the Lord of Mystery with the Wish Lamp.

Even if he had the ability, he would not help the lamp god to unlock the seal in advance. He should just wait until the end of the world.

"Do you have any abilities worth using now?" The tone was light, as if with a little contempt.

The lamp god snorted coldly: "If you don't value my ability, why would you spend so much energy to pull me into this palace?"

Spend a lot of energy?

Does this mean that he whips him every night?

From the standpoint of the lamp god, it is reasonable to have such a guess.

Why should he whip the lamp god every night?

Hasta couldn't think of what he had in mind when he whipped the lamp god at first.

A simple test?

No, there should be a mischievous mentality.

It's like a commoner who gets a whip that can enter the king's dream every night and whip the king. This temptation must be irresistible.

Even while whipping, he would shout: "You are the king, so majestic on weekdays, but now you are pressed to the ground by me and whipped hard?"

Challenge authority? Insulting the superior? Or should it be said that it is to get some kind of pleasure?

Whipping, pleasure...

Hasta hurriedly stopped this thought, but he did not answer the question of the lamp god, but quietly waited for him to think about it first.

"Hehe, although I am in a state of desolation and sealed, it does not mean that you are the only hope. There must be a limit to waiting for the price."

"That makes sense, then you just wait."

"..."

The lamp god was stunned for a long time. His words just now were just to remind the other party not to propose too much transaction, but he did not expect the other party to directly refuse to talk!

Haha, are you going to start a tug-of-war with me?

Want to wait for me to actively ask you for a transaction, and then let you take the lead?

The lamp god had some guesses in his heart, but he felt a little strange. These beings are generally very straightforward and rarely play tricks like this.

This reminded him of the Lord of Mystery.

He was so cunning that he bullied his innocence!

After a lot of deception, he directly tricked him into the wishing lamp and sealed him up until now.

Thinking of this, the lamp god immediately became alert, and he must not just get out of the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's mouth.

"I only accept transactions of equal value!" The lamp god's tone was very stiff and firm.

"I'm not in a hurry." Hasta replied lightly.

"Haha, who knows."

The lamp god snorted lightly, and thought to himself: "If I'm not in a hurry, would I come to harass me frequently in the past month?"

Seeing that there was no hope for this transaction, the lamp god had no intention of speaking again. He felt that he had to be dignified and not show too much anxiety, otherwise he would definitely be controlled by the other party.

Of course, he could show his value moderately and let the other party propose better transaction conditions.

The lamp god didn't want to speak, and Hasta would not easily speak to lower his status, so he just held it like this.

The scene was silent for a while. Hasta glanced at the lamp god and said lightly: "Let's adjourn."

"..."

The lamp god was stunned. He had been dignified for so long, and he got such a sentence in return?

"The next gathering will be in fifteen days."

Hasta said without waiting for the Lamp Spirit to react. A chain of order burst into starlight behind him, marking a starry sky and sending this part of the Lamp Spirit's clone back into the Wishing Lamp.
