Chapter 131: Bernadette, Sequence 2 Sage
The Lamp God and the Mother Tree of Desire did not refute for a moment, acknowledging the possibility of such a scenario.
A great explosion would indeed make everything appear in the starry sky.
As for the creatures born here, the seven gods born here, they were of no value to them.
Hastur, hearing this, felt a reminder was in order, to not always think about destroying Earth.
The universe is vast, but such a good life-bearing planet is rare, especially one that has given birth to a decent civilization.
"The original power guards this place, God and the Mysterious also left their power to guard here. Destruction often only brings about self-destruction."
As soon as Hastur finished speaking, the usually calm Overstar Sovereign felt an ominous premonition.
At their level, every premonition has a reason.
He knew that the Mysterious Lord, also known as the Beacon of Destiny, often represented the future with just one sentence.
Now, the Star Returner gave him the same feeling.
Had he already foreseen his own fate?
This was a prophecy, and a warning! "Thank you for the reminder."
At this moment, the Overstar Sovereign was very humble, even his tone was not as arrogant as before.
The Lamp God and the Mother Tree of Desire exchanged glances, both feeling the absurdity.
The Overstar Sovereign actually chose to bow his head at this moment!
Was that sentence really so shocking to him?
Or was it that when the Star Returner spoke those words, the Overstar Sovereign suddenly had a certain premonition?
A premonition of a possible future downfall!
For beings like them, such a premonition is terrifying!
The Lamp God thought about it and decided not to mock the Overstar Sovereign, thinking he should also restrain his usual words and deeds to avoid affecting his future.
The Mother Tree of Desire shared the same thoughts as the Lamp God.
The scene became quiet and silent again.
Hastur found it strange that his simple words could make the three Outer Gods enter a state of silence?
With no one speaking, it was up to him to break the silence.
"The stars are twinkling, each star has its value."
This was also a platitude, but coming from Hastur, it seemed mysterious and inevitable.
The Lamp God glanced at the Overstar Sovereign and snorted: "There are always some beings who do not understand this truth. If the entire universe loses the twinkle of the stars, how desolate it would be."
He had another sentence he did not say; the Overstar, too, needed the existence of other stars to manifest his authority.
The Overstar Sovereign understood the Lamp God's meaning, he was at fault, so he did not continue to argue with the Lamp God.
His authority was indeed built on the basis of other stars; if believers were the anchor points of the seven gods, then the stars were his anchor points.
"All life has its reason for existence."
The Mother Tree of Desire also rarely stood on the same side as the Lamp God.
The Lamp God became more proud, just about to scold the Overstar Sovereign again, but remembering the principle that more words lead to more mistakes, he stopped his mocking behavior.
Instead, he said: "Now the Church of the Seven Gods is searching everywhere for your believers, the Eternal Blazing Sun Church must have already come out in full force, do you need me to introduce a few hiding places for you?"
"No need."
The Mother Tree of Desire directly refused, simply not trusting the Lamp God's luck.
Hastur felt it was a pity; he wanted to confirm their hiding place and then reveal the information to Bernadette, for her to contact the people of the Church of the Seven Gods.
"Time is on our side."
The Overstar Sovereign was very confident, which made the Lamp God wonder where his confidence came from.
The Overstar Sovereign obviously had no interest in explaining, no matter how the Lamp God asked, he did not speak.
The Mother Tree of Desire also chose to keep this matter secret.
Hastur saw that the matter had been discussed enough and was about to log off and send the guests away.
The Lamp God suddenly spoke: "You still remember the Temperance card you owe me, right?"
"Do you want to take it back now?"
"There's no better opportunity than now."
Now the Mother Tree of Desire was busy providing shelter for his believers, and it was hard to be distracted by the Temperance card to plan anything.
"Do you want to give this card to Bernadette for nothing?"
"I can use it as a trade, to gain a bit of freedom for myself."
After several twists and turns, he had fallen out with Bernadette, and the Mother Tree of Desire had also terminated cooperation, so he needed to make new plans.
The Mother Tree of Desire pondered for a moment, "Do you have a way to take the Temperance card without going through Bernadette?"
"That's my problem."
"It seems you already have a new ally."
The Mother Tree of Desire seemed to see through the Lamp God's real thoughts and said nothing more, directly giving the Lamp God a location.
"Let's end today's gathering here."
Hastur announced the end of today's Star Gathering, then used the Chains of Order to send them back to their respective stars.
After doing all this, he did not log off immediately but glanced at the star where the High-Dimensional Observer was located, and there was nothing unusual.
If the Lamp God had other allies, it would only be the High-Dimensional Observer who had caused a stir not long ago.
The High-Dimensional Observer overlooks everything, and his relationship with the Child of Chaos is not simple, making it very likely that he has made contact with the Lamp God.
The Lamp God's request for the previous Temperance card was probably intended for the High-Dimensional Observer.
But what does the High-Dimensional Observer want the Temperance card for?
Just for fun?
What exactly is his authority and extraordinary path?
"What a hassle."
Hastur thought for a long time but still did not want to tell Bernadette the location of the Temperance card.
The location of the Temperance card, the Lamp God would not say, and the Mother Tree of Desire and the Overstar Sovereign were even less likely to tell Bernadette. If Bernadette knew about the Temperance card, it would definitely be because of his own revelation.
"Let's meet Bernadette first and have her go to the Southern Continent."
Hastur used the power of the Star Hall to shield the Lamp God's external perception, then descended in the starry sky above Bernadette's head.
"Thank you for the guidance and grace of the stars."
Bernadette's tone was more respectful than when they last met.
If it weren't for the guidance of the stars, she would not have been able to ascend to Sequence 2 Sage in such a short time.
Now, she was almost at the end of this extraordinary path.
Facing the Hidden Sage, she also had a bit more resistance. After all, the Hidden Sage's condition was not as good as hers, and with the Wheel of Fortune card covering her destiny, the Hidden Sage would have a hard time finding her again.
"There is one thing you need to do."
Hastur did not beat around the bush and directly proposed that Bernadette go to the Southern Continent to investigate the plans of the Mother Tree of Desire and the Overstar Sovereign.
"I need some time to deal with personal matters."
Bernadette did not refuse the task; on the contrary, she felt relieved when she heard it.
The debt she owed could finally be repaid a little, and the stars needed her help, which was the best reason for her to save her life.
"That's fine, you can also choose to abandon the task if necessary."
"I understand."
After resolving this matter, Hastur was about to dissolve the connection between the Star Hall and Bernadette.
Bernadette hurriedly spoke: "I have another matter that requires the help of the stars."
"You can't save your father now."
Hastur saw through her thoughts and directly interrupted what she was about to say next.
Bernadette fell silent, and after a while, she said: "If I ascend to Sequence 1, will I have that ability?"
"The Fallen Mother Goddess, even true gods can be corrupted."
"…"
Bernadette trembled slightly. According to this, even if she became a divine being, she could not save her father?
"Even you can't do it?"
Bernadette looked at Hastur, who was sitting in the Star Hall, with the last hope.
Hastur had also thought about this problem. He estimated that to solve the pollution on Roselle, he would have to reach at least Sequence 1.
It might also be necessary to wait until he became a true god before he could use the power of the Star Hall to purify this pollution.
After all, the Fallen Mother Goddess is one of the three pillars, a truly powerful existence at the pinnacle of the universe.
But if he became a true god, Roselle's situation would be awkward.
Hmm, becoming an angel would probably be the best outcome for him.
"You can't pay this price now."
"It's good to have a way!"
Bernadette was emotionally stirred, her eyes brimming with tears, showing a rare moment of vulnerability.
Soon, Bernadette adjusted her mentality and returned to her usual image of a mysterious and wise queen.
"I will investigate what happened in the Southern Continent."
Bernadette made her promise on this matter.
Hastur thought for a moment and reminded: "If you encounter a light that does not belong to the Eternal Blazing Sun, remember to flee."
"The light that does not belong to the Eternal Blazing Sun?"
Bernadette pondered for a moment, thinking of the recent unusual actions of the Eternal Blazing Sun Church.
That sentence seemed to suggest that some existence was stealing the authority of the Eternal Blazing Sun and had succeeded!
"I will be careful."
Hastur said nothing more, cut off the connection, and dispersed the starry sky above Bernadette's head.
"A war between deities?"
Bernadette looked up at the starry sky, feeling a deep fear of this still brilliant expanse.
The sky is vast, and she is too small.
As a Sequence 2, an earthly angel, she could only stay on the ground.
The starry sky, that is a forbidden realm for deities.
