Mystery: The Return of the Stars

The former stars, has His eyes already looked into such a distant future?

He saw this scene, so there is the existence of Sequence 0 reset, so that he can break through this static universe at this moment?

Hastur thought a lot, and finally returned to himself. He has now been promoted to Sequence 0, and can fully control the Hall of Stars. In this cosmic power system, He is equivalent to a powerful Old One, like God, the Lord of Mysteries, and the Fallen Mother Goddess.

He should be more powerful than them at present, but there is only one last step away from the real stars returning to their positions.

He needs to find the missing part of himself before the original creator ends this thinking and become a real star.

Before that, He also needs to restore the constraints of the original creator on himself, so that his body can also break free from the static state and regain freedom.

This is another long process. Fortunately, in this static universe, except for the occasional gaze of the original creator, there is no other change.

It took about thousands of years, and Hastur's body finally broke free from the static state and had the ability to move freely.

The moment he drove the Hall of Stars to move in this static universe, the eyes of the First Creator were all cast.

Every corner of the universe seemed to have eyes growing out, looking at him from all directions, as if he was very curious.

Hastur could vaguely feel the breath of the First Creator approaching little by little.

But the First Creator finally just remained a curious bystander, just watching from afar, without any further action.

The Hall of Stars was freely traveling through this still static universe under the gaze of the First Creator.

The starry sky was like a painting, and he was the only black dot that could move, like the contact point where the tip of a pen blended with the canvas. As long as he wanted, he could easily draw the scenery he wanted on this huge starry canvas.

Hastur did not change anything. He just silently watched and admired this static universe, and experienced the starry sky that was completely different from the past.

Along the way, He saw some of the surviving Outer Gods, such as the Mother Tree of Desire, the Son of Chaos, the Ring of Fate...

They were all in a completely static state without any consciousness of awakening. They had no feeling or sight of his arrival.

Hasta also saw God, who was still guarding the starry sky near Graygari. At the last moment when the original creator woke up and returned, God, who had a premonition of something wrong, hid in the depths of the turbulent Chaos Sea.

Now, in the depths of this solidified Chaos Sea, the figure of God can still be seen. He is looking up at the lofty place where the original creator awakened.

Compared to God, who made the final reaction, Graygari's state is particularly miserable.

His consciousness is completely scattered, leaving only a little insignificant instinct, sinking into the depths of the River of Eternal Darkness, his wings hanging from the sky carrying the City of Disaster, his eyes as bright as the sun have lost all their brilliance, and most of his huge body has melted away.

The static universe from the original creator actually allowed Him to retain the last hope of life.

Hastur walked out of the Hall of Stars and arrived at the location of Graygari's forehead. He reached out and took away the last bit of life source of Graygari, and then continued to control the Hall of Stars to roam the starry sky.

After skipping the starry sky area where the Old One Hastur was located and touring the entire universe, Hastur returned to the starry sky where the life planet he created was located.

The original creator who awakened at the end of the universe froze a broken and silent universe, and the starry sky lost the light of the stars and became dark and obscure.

This starry sky opened up by himself still has the last light, but it is now in a state of complete stillness.

Audrey, Sharon, Susie, Bernadette, Will, Russell... They have also become small elements in this picture of the universe.

Hastur did not forcefully awaken Audrey, Sharon and the others, but closed the starry sky, erasing its contact point with the starry sky where the original creator was, trying to completely isolate the starry sky where he was from the universe created by the original creator.

Create a starry sky that is not interfered with by the original creator.

He could not do this before, so Audrey and the others hiding here were affected by the power of the original creator and entered a state of complete stillness.

If it were a real group of stars, he could definitely create a starry sky that was not affected by the original creator.

This is also what Hastur will do in the next period of time.

Perhaps completing this task will allow him to take the last step towards the real stars.

And the sign of success is to let the entire starry sky naturally break the still state and become independent of the original creator universe.

This is undoubtedly a long journey.

After countless years, the starry sky where Hastur was located began to show a little sign of awakening.

It was like a gust of wind blowing across the still lake, blowing out a circle of shallow ripples.

Hastur awoke from his deep state, looking through the Hall of Stars at the universe that he had isolated.

He knew that Hastur, the Old One, had also woken up.

It was he who brought the wind to the entire universe.

This meant that the starry sky he had created could not be completely separated from the universe created by the original creator.

…

In the static universe, Hastur, the Old One who had awakened and regained his freedom, felt the curious gaze of the First Creator and could not help but sneer: "Now you have lost your desire and self-awareness, which really makes me feel sad for you."

But after a while, He fell into deep thought again.

In theory, the First Creator, who was left with pure instinct, should restart a new universe in the face of such a broken universe, rather than let the entire universe fall into a static state.

It can be seen that the self-awareness of the First Creator born from the arrival of the stars in this universe still brought different changes to the First Creator who could only aggregate and split.

He successfully gave birth to the First Creator's consciousness called thinking. Although this consciousness was still very weak and it would take a long time for it to fully grow, it was like a seed of life that had taken root in the soil and was trying to sprout and break out of the soil.

"Haha, I won't give you such an opportunity."

Hastur, the Old One, had an idea in his mind.

Then, He began to search the universe, trying to find traces of the stars.

After searching for a while, he found no trace of the stars, and even could not sense his breath.

This undoubtedly shows that the stars have long awakened from this static universe, even earlier than him.

Is it the special nature of the Hall of Stars?

Or did the stars increase in strength during this period of time, so they can avoid his search?

He thought for a while, and chose to focus on the original creator first.

The original creator now has only a little thinking consciousness, and he must not be allowed to continue thinking, erase his self-consciousness, and restart this universe.

The old ruler Hastur came to the shell membrane manifested by the boundary of the universe. This is the gathering place of the original creator's consciousness, just like his brain.

Facing his arrival, the original creator still did not move, but just watched calmly, and the old ruler Hastur was also silently observing the original creator's current state.

After a long time, the Old One Hastur began to move. His body turned into an endless, invisible wind, blowing across the entire universe, fully covering the shell membrane carrying the consciousness of the original creator, trying to find the location of that independent consciousness.

The completely still universe was blown by the wind, and the dark and lightless starry sky emitted layers of disturbed ripples.

God, who was still trapped in the still time and space, was affected and gradually regained his self-awareness.

After a long period of fusion, she lost her self-awareness and only had instincts left. She has become the fourth pillar and is gradually waking up.

The instinct and power to destroy the universe constantly shake the universe frozen in time.

On the other side, the original creator faced the invasion of the Old One Hastur, and the instinct of self-defense covered the consciousness of thinking, and tried his best to expel and erase the Old One Hastur.

After a long period of entanglement and struggle, the wind from outside the universe was finally trapped in a starry sky by the original creator and it was difficult to get out.

But the wisp of self-consciousness that was accidentally born by the original creator was also wiped out by the Old One Hastur, leaving only the purest instinct.

When the original creator, who was left with only instinct and no self-consciousness, stopped thinking and began to recover his power, allowing this static universe to gradually return to normal.

This was also a long period of time.

God and Graygari broke free from static and regained freedom before other Outer Gods.

Graygari, who only had the instinct of destruction, began to shake the still static universe, pushing the universe to the end and ushering in a new life.

"I don't have much time."

God clearly understood that once the static state of this universe ended, the aggregation instinct of the original creator would drive him to aggregate everything in this universe.

He, Graygari, and the surviving Outer Gods Old Days could not escape unless they could leave this universe.

While there was still some time, God also began to roam the starry sky, trying to find traces of the stars, but in the end he found nothing.

When the Outer Gods such as the Mother Tree of Desire, the Son of Chaos, and the Ring of Fate also successfully escaped from the static state, the entire universe ushered in the real end.

God, Gray Carrie, the Son of Chaos and other Outer Gods were swallowed up by the First Creator at the first time and their self-consciousness was wiped out.

Then, all living and non-living, material and non-material, energy... everything in this universe began to gather towards the place where the First Creator was.

This universe ushered in the gathering, as if it was about to condense into a singularity.

Hastur, the Old Ruler who was trapped in a starry sky, regained his freedom at this moment.

Looking at this scene in front of him, He laughed ostentatiously and triumphantly. The First Creator could not escape the fate of gathering and splitting after all.

The self-consciousness born from the arrival of the stars eventually lost the ability to create miracles.

Unfortunately, except for Him, no other creatures can witness this gradually gathering universe and the gradually destroyed universe.

"Stars, how long can you hide?"

Hastur, the Old One, believed that when the Prime Creator gathered the universe, the stars would be nowhere to be found, unless He had already left the universe.

But this was impossible, because the awakened Prime Creator would definitely do his best to stop the stars from leaving the universe.

If the stars fought with the Prime Creator, it would definitely leave an indelible aftermath.

But after He woke up, the entire universe was still in a state of absolute stillness, which showed that the stars did not conflict with the original creator.

It took a long time for the original creator to aggregate the universe.

The Old One Hastur was not in a hurry at all, and quietly watched the universe come to an end.

But until the entire universe collapsed and condensed into a singularity emitting endless brilliance, everything finally returned to zero point, and the stars still did not appear, as if they had left the universe and disappeared completely.
