Chapter 226: The Will of the Stars, War Will Begin After the New Year
The Lamp Genie remained silent, while the Super Star Overlord seemed to be lost in thought.
Mother Tree of Desire pondered for a moment and then asked, "When the stars return to their positions, which star should run in which orbit? Is all of this determined by the will of the stars?"
Hastur did not answer this question but instead commented with a hint of amusement, "You've been causing quite a stir lately."
"Just minor skirmishes," replied the Super Star Overlord.
"The weather is getting colder, and the sun's rays are far less scorching than they used to be."
Hastur's sudden remark made the Super Star Overlord's expression change slightly, but he didn't pay much attention. "There will always be a new sun to replace the old one."
The Lamp Genie interjected, "Eternal Blazing Sunis really out of luck, being targeted by you. Using the power of Eternal Blazing Sunto nourish yourself is quite a cunning move."
"My power cannot penetrate the initial barrier, so I can only use their own power as a means."
"Tsk, how much longer will it take?"
"Three years."
"This timeline is really tight. It seems that a great war on the Southern Continent is inevitable."
"War is the ultimate means to solve all problems. Even without our push, the outbreak of war is only a matter of time," added Mother Tree of Desire .
Hastur agreed with this statement. Recently, Adam's Twilight Hermit Order had been plotting to assassinate Duke Negan, which was also intended to incite a war.
The outbreak of a large-scale war was the wave of the era that Adam anticipated.
Now, it was just happening a little earlier.
The Lamp Genie curiously asked, "What benefit does the outbreak of war bring to you? Your authority has nothing to do with war."
"A chaotic situation is beneficial for us to change the current state."
Hearing this, the Lamp Genie laughed, "So your followers can't hold on anymore, and you want to use war to disrupt the situation."
Mother Tree of Desire did not refute but tacitly agreed.
The alliance of the Seven Gods Church was naturally not a big deal for him, but for his followers, such a test was quite significant.
Especially with Eternal Blazing Sun Church members attracted by the Super Star Overlord, who were like mad dogs, eager to dig three feet into the ground.
In this situation, starting a war to disrupt the situation was a good choice.
"War will begin after the New Year."
Hastur spoke, setting the tone for the matter and also trying to use the authority of "Return to Position" for the first time.
A seemingly ordinary sentence fell into the ears of Mother Tree of Desire , the Super Star Overlord, and the Lamp Genie, giving them an indescribable feeling.
It seemed that the events on the Southern Continent should develop according to this sentence, delaying the outbreak of war until after the New Year.
They didn't know why the stars suddenly said this, but they understood that this sentence represented the will of the stars.
The war must start after the New Year!
Whether the war started at the end of the year or after the New Year didn't matter to them, as this time frame was meaningless to them.
But now, the stars' statement made them take it seriously.
Could the time difference between the end of the year and after the New Year really affect some unknown fate?
Did the stars foresee a related future, so they thought it would be better for the war to break out after the New Year?
The Lamp Genie also pondered the difference between the end of the year and after the New Year.
His understanding of the real world was greater than that of Mother Tree of Desire and the Super Star Overlord combined.
This year was 1349, and after the New Year would be 1350. The difference between them... he couldn't figure it out either.
Perhaps Bernadette might have a different perspective on this. Roselle seemed to have planned to create a time calendar, with each year and each day representing different fortunes, suitable for certain activities and unsuitable for others.
It was like a book of prophecies, providing simple guidance for ordinary people.
"Are the stars also watching all of this?" Mother Tree of Desire still voiced his doubts.
Hastur calmly replied, "The stars are always watching everything."
"What different results or impacts would occur if the war broke out at the end of the year versus after the New Year?"
Of course, there would be an impact. This war would affect my mood for the New Year.
Hastur silently added this in his heart but said aloud, "This aligns with the development of the era's wave."
"Aligns with the development of the era's wave..."
Mother Tree of Desire and the Lamp Genie both pondered these words and soon thought of the mysterious organization, the Twilight Hermit Order.
For beings of their level, the Twilight Hermit Order was not mysterious. They knew it was an organization founded by Adam, the offspring of the ancient Sun God.
The organization's purpose was to resurrect or awaken the true Creator.
They claimed that when the end of everything appeared, the original Creator would resurrect from death, awaken from slumber, and return everything to himself, creating a new world and a new history.
This almost overlapped with the prophecy of the apocalypse and the return of the stars.
Could it be that the Twilight Hermit Order was an organization that worshipped the stars?
Were they the followers of the stars?
The Lamp Genie pondered. He had once asked Bernadette to find the followers of the stars, but there had been no results. If the other party was the Twilight Hermit Order, Bernadette indeed wouldn't know.
Mother Tree of Desire was thinking about whether the original Creator would awaken at the apocalypse.
If the apocalypse would lead to the awakening of the original Creator, then all their current plans were just accelerating this day.
When this day came, everything would return to chaos and then evolve again.
Was this the true meaning of the return of the stars?
Mother Tree of Desire felt a deep chill.
"Since it aligns with the development of the era's wave, let's start the war after the New Year."
The Super Star Overlord, not understanding the significance, didn't think it was a big deal.
Mother Tree of Desire remained silent, and the Lamp Genie didn't speak either.
The Super Star Overlord found it strange but didn't continue to speak, and Hastur had no interest in continuing the conversation.
His need had been met. The authority of "Return to Position" could indeed invisibly guide the stars to move along the predetermined orbit.
Although the influence was weak now, it still existed.
"Today's gathering ends here."
Hastur prepared to end the star gathering. The Lamp Genie hesitated but ultimately said nothing.
After sending off Mother Tree of Desire , the Super Star Overlord, and the Lamp Genie, Hastur's gaze turned to the star of the High-Dimensional Overseer .
Mother Tree of Desire and the Super Star Overlord had already expressed their stance. If the High-Dimensional Overseer didn't cause any trouble, then the war on the Southern Continent was likely to break out after the New Year.
The High-Dimensional Overseer was still on the sea and hadn't set foot on the Southern Continent. The ship beside him had changed from the Undying to a new ship, an ironclad ship from the Loen Kingdom.
Who knows when he captured an ironclad ship. He really knows how to play.
Hastur glanced a few times and then withdrew his gaze.
After sitting quietly in the Hall of Stars for a while, Hastur logged off to sleep.
December 6th, Monday.
Still staying at home, Hastur received another letter from Prince Edessak.
The tone of the letter was not as friendly as last time but was filled with anger, questioning why he didn't attend the banquet, whether he was disrespecting him, and looking down on him.
In response, Hastur pretended not to see the letter.
Prince Edessak had no real power, just an empty title. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't do anything to him.
He wouldn't risk attending the banquet. Who knew if it was arranged by 008 or an idea from that witch?
Otherwise, why would Prince Edessak, who had no connection with him, frequently invite him to banquets?
And even get angry because he didn't attend.
Could it be that Prince Edessak boasted in front of others but found that he was ignored, so he became embarrassed and angry?
...
In a royal estate, Prince Edessak angrily smashed a piece of porcelain on the ground.
He was really angry. Baron Hastur Campbell had once again refused his invitation!
No matter how he tried to persuade him, Baron Hastur Campbell always came up with some excuse to brush him off.
How could he face the girl waiting for his reply!
If he couldn't even handle this small matter, was he still a prince of the Loen Kingdom?
"Fine, if you won't come to see me, I'll go see you!"
Prince Edessak calmed down and ordered his servants to prepare the carriage. He was going to personally visit the young noble praised by Duke Negan and Earl Hall!
As the carriage left the estate and was about to head down King's Avenue to its destination, an accident occurred.
The coachman accidentally knocked down a noblewoman who was out for a walk.
"What bad luck!"
Prince Edessak cursed and had to give up his plan to visit Baron Hastur today. He got out of the carriage to deal with the unexpected incident.
In a small house by a stream, on a desk by the window, an old diary lay open, and a magic pen was writing a passage in it.
"Prince Edessak, because Baron Hastur Campbell repeatedly refused his banquet invitations, lost face in front of a beautiful girl, and became angry, decided to visit him personally. This was a normal reaction, but such a meeting seemed likely to lead to uncontrollable events."
