章 578: Chapter 578: Awakening, Night Emperor Trensost
Chapter 578: Awakening, Night Emperor Trensost
As this thought arose, the more Hastur pondered, the more plausible it seemed.
The King in Yellow might indeed be slumbering in the depths of the starry sky, awaiting the call of the stars.
This speculation made Hastur pause his attempts to awaken other Outer Gods from the stars.
If the King in Yellow were to awaken, it might not necessarily be beneficial for him at this moment.
"Heh, High-Dimensional Overseer."
As Hastur's gaze swept past the star representing the High-Dimensional Overseer, he noticed that the Overseer had retreated into the depths of the starry sky and was no longer lingering near the initial barrier's crack.
The Fallen Mother Goddess seemed to be trying to contact the High-Dimensional Overseer.
After a few glances, Hastur withdrew his gaze. It was still too early to deal with such an Outer God.
He decided to focus on Urolius first and deal with the others later.
At this moment, Urolius was in a region of black seawater. Although the black holy mountain of the True Creator was not visible nearby, it must be close, just hidden.
Observing Urolius for a while and seeing no intention of leaving the True Creator's divine kingdom, Hastur temporarily withdrew his gaze and looked at the stars representing the Mother Tree of Desire, the Super Star Dominator, and the Primordial Hunger.
These three were currently acting separately: the Mother Tree of Desire and the Super Star Dominator had returned to the Republic of Intis, while the Primordial Hunger was wandering the seas, its destination unknown.
Their true forms showed no significant movements in the starry sky.
After finishing his observations, Hastur entered Lady Lisa's dream through divine revelation.
He instructed Lady Lisa to lead the Church of the Yellow Robe against the Aurora Society and the Twilight Hermit Order.
To force Urolius out, targeting the Aurora Society was a suitable choice.
Given the Aurora Society's current strength, only Urolius himself could confront the Church of the Yellow Robe with Lady Lisa at its helm.
This would force him to leave the True Creator's divine kingdom.
If Adam and the True Creator appeared, Hastur could summon the Mother Tree of Desire, the Super Star Dominator, and the Primordial Hunger through the Hall of Stars for assistance.
After dealing with this matter, Hastur's gaze turned to the earth, searching for the Trensost Brass Book.
To awaken the Night Emperor Trensost, the Trensost Brass Book was an excellent medium, much like the Primordial Creator emerging from the Sea of Chaos.
The Trensost Brass Book undoubtedly contained remnants of the Night Emperor's consciousness.
In the original text, the Trensost Brass Book was Sealed Artifact 0-02. After the fall of the War God, it was taken to Beldan City in the Jianhai County by the Great Patriarch, where its consciousness began to awaken, enveloping the entire city within its rules.
Beldan City could not escape the stars' scrutiny. After some searching, Hastur found the city governed by the Brass Book's rules.
He arrived outside Beldan City's gates in a form of light and then walked into the city.
He did not materialize directly within the city to avoid alarming the Trensost Brass Book, preventing it from fleeing or becoming wary.
Disguised as a bard, Hastur soon reached the city square along the streets.
Near the city hall stood a notice board filled with announcements, attracting a crowd.
Hastur joined the crowd to read the notices.
At the center of the board, a yellowed white paper covered other announcements, with inked Ruen characters stating: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am your new governor."
"Now, I issue three new decrees."
"First, no being may leave here without my permission."
"Second, all are equal before the law; even angels can be killed by ordinary people."
"Third, those committing the following crimes will face severe punishment, up to the death penalty: murder, theft, complete recitation of divine names, worship of evil gods, fraud, leaking secrets..."
After reading these rules, Hastur couldn't help but think, "The Trensost Brass Book should be placed in northern Myanmar to educate those fraudsters on how shameful their crimes are."
It was nighttime, and Hastur found a tavern to sit in, listening to the patrons' chatter to gather information about the city.
He also recalled descriptions of the Trensost Brass Book, which was gradually becoming active and awakening.
Based on his experiments with the Dark Angel Sasriel, he knew that he only needed to see the Trensost Brass Book to exert his authority of return.
But how to persuade the awakened Night Emperor to help him against Adam and the True Creator?
If the Night Emperor sided with Adam and the True Creator, all his efforts would be in vain.
"A contract. For those on the Judge and Black Emperor paths, a contract holds sacred power. Even the Lamp God, despite his cunning, respects the spirit of the contract."
"Make him swear by the stars, ensuring he aligns with me."
"But there's a problem: I can only awaken a sliver of the Night Emperor's consciousness at first. Only after he swears by the stars can I fully awaken his consciousness."
Hastur considered various possibilities to prevent any errors in the awakening process.
As for seeing the Trensost Brass Book itself... he didn't have time to play by its rules.
Having decided on his course of action, Hastur left the tavern and returned to the city square, gazing up at the starry sky.
After a moment, starlight like meteors fell towards Beldan City.
This city, protected by the Trensost Brass Book's rules, was akin to its divine kingdom. When faced with external threats, it would naturally reveal its power to protect the city from destruction.
As the starlight neared Beldan City, about to fall, the strict legal order transformed into bronze chains that lashed out at the incoming starlight.
Hastur closed his eyes briefly, then used his ability to appear directly before the Trensost Brass Book.
In an ordinary house, on a rectangular table, lay a brass-colored book.
The book's pages were turning, with laws appearing and taking effect on its blank pages.
Sensing Hastur's arrival, the book's pages turned faster, and a new rule appeared.
"The Trensost Brass Book is the most precious object. No being or thing may touch it without its permission!"
Hastur's fingers naturally touched the brass pages. The newly established rule had no effect on him.
This was the suppression of a lower entity by a higher one. Even the Lamp God, an Outer God, would be suppressed by the Hall of Stars' rules.
The Trensost Brass Book's rules were no exception.
Seeing its rule ineffective, the book hurriedly turned a page to establish a new rule to drive Hastur away.
But a hand pressed down on the page, preventing further writing.
The seemingly ordinary hand felt like a mountain pressing down, instilling a sense of soul-crushing suppression and fear.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you," Hastur said calmly. The book, seeing no escape, curled up into an ordinary book, hiding its supernatural aspects.
"Trensost, the Night Emperor who founded the Trensost Empire, your lingering consciousness and curse are attached to this book."
"Your consciousness should have dissipated over time or awaited a new Judge to replace you."
"But today, you have a new choice."
"In the name of the stars, let your consciousness awaken slightly."
Hastur whispered softly, calling out to the remnants of Trensost's consciousness.
After a while, the book began to tremble, with faint golden light flowing through its pages.
The golden light gathered on the cover, forming a wavering, ethereal figure.
The figure was fragile, like a candle about to extinguish.
