Chapter 288: The High-Dimensional Overseer and Adam
The Hall of Stars.
Hastur first glanced around at the stars where Adam and the True Creator resided.
In the scene, Adam had indeed left the seaside church and arrived in South Wales. He was currently at a port by the sea, which appeared to be Puning Port based on the surrounding scenery and buildings.
Hastur merely watched without stepping forward to greet him.
In the scene, Adam seemed to sense something, stopped in his tracks, and looked up at the starry sky.
"The gaze of the stars."
Adam let out a very faint sigh, but Hastur heard it clearly.
Hastur initially wanted to take the opportunity to tell Adam to leave, but he felt it was inappropriate. After all, why would the stars pay special attention to a single believer, even if that believer held 008?
Of course, if he whispered "Ancient Sun God" to Adam, Adam would likely leave immediately and not stay in South Wales for long.
But since they had agreed to give the High-Dimensional Overseer a chance, they had to give him a chance.
Hastur withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the star where the High-Dimensional Overseer resided. He was still on a ship, likely in the waters off the southern continent.
This time, Hastur did not deliberately hide his prying gaze. On the deck, the High-Dimensional Overseer slightly raised his head, looking at the still clear blue sky.
Hastur thought for a moment and chose not to speak, instead sending the scene of Adam in South Wales to the High-Dimensional Overseer.
With his ability to traverse space, he could intercept Adam as soon as he took action.
The reason for not speaking was twofold: to maintain the mysterious and lofty status of the stars and to test how the High-Dimensional Overseer would handle the situation.
The High-Dimensional Overseer smiled, nodded towards the stars, then left the deck. Space naturally made way for him, forming a path leading to where Adam was.
Seeing this, Hastur withdrew his gaze and looked at the light point where the Star Container was located, ultimately deciding not to use it.
It was mainly inconvenient. To manipulate the Star Container, he had to stay in the Hall of Stars, which meant his real-world self would be lying in bed.
If Adam saw his real body sleeping and the Star Container in front of him, he would surely see through the illusion.
The Star Container could only be used for divine descent, and now was not the time.
Hastur quickly shifted his gaze back to the star where Adam was.
In the scene, the High-Dimensional Overseer, adept at traversing space, had accurately found Adam's location.
On the street, the two merely looked at each other from a distance.
They had met before and spent some time together, having some guesses about each other's identities.
Adam surely knew that the young man the High-Dimensional Overseer had transformed into was an Outer God, but he could only guess which one unless the High-Dimensional Overseer told him directly.
In Puning Port, on Chester Street, there were many people coming and going. Seeing two people standing in the middle of the street, they thought a duel was about to take place and instinctively avoided them, forming a vacuum around them, allowing them to see each other without obstruction.
But to everyone's disappointment, the anticipated duel did not occur.
The High-Dimensional Overseer looked at Adam with a calm gaze and a faint smile. Adam, with eyes as pure as a baby's, glanced at the starry sky and then back at the High-Dimensional Overseer.
He knew he should leave.
Today, he could not successfully retrieve 008 and set everything back on track.
He had just set foot on this land, and an incarnation of an Outer God had come to block him.
It was clear that 008 had indeed fallen into the hands of a believer of the stars, and this was under the stars' directive.
The stars, watching everything, easily saw through the importance of 008 to him, so they arranged for a believer to quietly take 008 from Ince Zangwill.
If he wanted to retrieve 008, trading would be the best way.
Of course, he could also force his way through. This incarnation of an Outer God could not stop him; he had ways to temporarily trap him.
However, the sense from 008 was blocked. Initially, he could only sense a vague range, but now, this sense was completely cut off, and he could no longer detect where 008 was.
In this situation, it would be difficult to find 008 in a short time.
Moreover, with the stars watching everything, if he forced a conflict, his hidden secrets might be exposed, and that future he could not see clearly.
An unclear future was a warning of danger to him.
Not yet a god, his control over the situation was severely lacking. With Outer Gods becoming more active, he had no choice but to retreat.
Adam left.
This disappointed Hastur, who also wanted to see a fight between the High-Dimensional Overseer and Adam.
But he knew that under the stars' gaze, Adam would not easily fight the High-Dimensional Overseer to avoid exposing his secrets.
The High-Dimensional Overseer, who had driven Adam away, also looked up at the starry sky, showing a smile he thought was friendly.
It was a bit creepy.
This smile made Hastur, who originally wanted to bring him to the Hall of Stars, hesitate for a moment.
After staring at the High-Dimensional Overseer for a while, Hastur finally extended the Chain of Order, touching the star where the High-Dimensional Overseer was and guiding him to the Hall of Stars.
The High-Dimensional Overseer's form was a mirror, its surface smooth, reflecting his true form.
Folded space formed his body, time curves were his limbs, and a glowing point was his wisdom.
Arriving at the Hall of Stars for the first time, the High-Dimensional Overseer curiously looked around, then gazed at the starry sky above the hall.
His eyes showed fascination, with no attempt to hide his emotions, making Hastur glance sideways.
Was he thinking that spying on Outer Gods in this way was interesting and wanted to set up something similar at home?
A big screen was always flat, but the stars here were three-dimensional.
A leap forward in technology?
Hastur did not disturb him, letting the High-Dimensional Overseer observe the starry sky above.
"How fun."
After a long time, the High-Dimensional Overseer sighed.
Hastur spoke calmly, "Haven't you grown tired of observing from the deep space?"
"I used to, but not anymore." The High-Dimensional Overseer said, walking to the long table and glancing at the twelve chairs. "Are there other beings here?"
"The Star Conference is held every two months, and the next one is in a month and a half."
"Can I ask who is currently here?"
"The Lamp God, the Mother Tree of Desire, and the Ultra Star Dominator."
Hastur also provided the High-Dimensional Overseer with some relevant information and let him choose a seat from the vacant ones.
"I don't want to sit with that Chaos Child, but the Ultra Star Dominator is even more annoying."
The High-Dimensional Overseer muttered to himself, then sat next to the Lamp God's chair.
He enlarged his mirror body, making his form fit the obviously spacious chair more comfortably.
Finding a comfortable position, the High-Dimensional Overseer looked at Hastur and sighed, "I didn't expect the stars to truly appear, and even I am under your gaze."
This was the hardest part for him to accept. He had always been the one secretly observing other Outer Gods, and now he had become the observed.
It was a strange feeling.
At first, he was very resistant, wanting to shake off this feeling of being watched. Later, he was still very resistant, and now he was still not used to having eyes watching him from above.
"The gaze of the stars is impartial."
The High-Dimensional Overseer accepted this explanation and then asked, "Is Adam also under your gaze? He has not yet become a god."
The implication was that Adam, not yet a god, was worth your attention because he had some unknown secret?
"Some ancient beings will reappear." Hastur revealed a little.
"Ancient beings... the Audience pathway..." The High-Dimensional Overseer fell into thought, several suitable choices flashing through his mind, but he couldn't be sure.
Hastur did not continue to remind him. He did not want the fact that Adam was the Ancient Sun God to be known to the High-Dimensional Overseer and other Outer Gods so early.
As for the existence of God, it had to be hidden until later.
"It's getting more and more interesting."
The High-Dimensional Overseer gave up thinking about Adam's true identity and looked up at the starry sky.
"After such a long period of silence, it's time for some excitement."
"Just hope it doesn't get too exciting." The High-Dimensional Overseer hinted.
Hastur smiled without speaking, then turned to talk about the Lamp God, subtly mentioning the transaction between the High-Dimensional Overseer and the Lamp God.
"He didn't come to me to break the mysterious seal. This avatar of mine doesn't have that ability. He wanted me to help him separate a historical image so he could walk freely outside."
The High-Dimensional Overseer did not deny it and directly stated the content of his transaction with the Lamp God.
"Freedom is a luxury for him." Hastur's tone carried a hint of amusement.
The High-Dimensional Overseer's tone also became light and cheerful, "Only those who have lost freedom know its value. It's the same for him."
"But you didn't fulfill your agreement with him." If the High-Dimensional Overseer had helped the Lamp God create a free-walking avatar, Hastur would have sensed it from the star where the Lamp God resided.
"I don't like his personality. Letting him out would only cause trouble for me." The High-Dimensional Overseer thought for a moment and added, "Our agreement is that his other part must find my hiding place on its own. That's the game rule."
So the Lamp God probably wouldn't come out before the apocalypse.
The place where the High-Dimensional Overseer was hiding was very secretive. Now, his true form seemed to be in some kind of slumber, completely integrated into the depths of multiple spaces and times.
With only half of the Chaos Child left, he had to avoid the dangers in the starry sky and find the High-Dimensional Overseer hidden in the depths of multiple spaces and times, which was very difficult.
After a few more words, Hastur sent the High-Dimensional Overseer away.
After organizing his thoughts a bit, he glanced at the star where Adam was. He had returned to the seaside church where he started.
Not yet a god, his power was limited, unable to hide from the gaze of the stars.
To achieve this, he would have to wait until he became a god and merged with the True Creator.
But now, if Adam wanted to become a god, he had to take 008 from him first.
Thinking of this, Hastur looked at where the True Creator was. He had not made any moves, seemingly unconcerned about what was happening with Adam.
Hastur scanned the stars again before leaving the Hall of Stars.
He got up, went to his desk, and the 008 lying in the pen case started bouncing again.
