Chapter 585: The Steam Goddess?
The mere mention of this revered name caused the Mother Tree of Desire and other Outer Gods to fall silent.
Among the three pillars, God is undoubtedly the most inscrutable.
If any of the three pillars are closest to the original Creator, it would certainly be God.
God is the Creator, the Omnipotent, whose authority is closest to that of the original Creator.
Thus, He is also referred to as the Primordial Creator, differing only slightly from the original Creator.
In the minds of the Outer Gods lingering outside the Primordial Barrier, the ranking of the three pillars from highest to lowest is: god almighty, the Lord of Mysteries, and the Fallen Mother Goddess.
There might be some debate between god almighty and the Lord of Mysteries, but the Fallen Mother Goddess is universally acknowledged as the lowest.
Despite being one of the three pillars, she cannot even enter the Primordial Barrier, whereas god almighty and the Lord of Mysteries take turns being the rulers within it.
This emboldens Outer Gods like the Mother Tree of Desire to vie for authority with the Fallen Mother Goddess.
" god almighty's awakening means that events will move towards an unknown future," the Mother Tree of Desire sighed after a long silence.
The Supernova Dominator also expressed similar sentiments: "His era is so ancient that even the Outer Gods in the starry sky only remember the Lord of Mysteries, almost forgetting His existence."
"The Sea of Chaos and the Source Fortress are the only remaining unsealed primordial substances. god almighty's awakening from the Sea of Chaos and the restoration of His authority are just a matter of time."
"Even if Adam and the True Creator regain their former status as the Ancient Sun God, they would still find it hard to gain an advantage over god almighty."
"He is too mysterious and ancient, making it impossible for later generations to catch up to Him."
Even the usually cheerful Lamp God became melancholic at this moment.
If the Lord of Mysteries had awakened, He would have cursed incessantly for years, but it was god almighty, the Omniscient, who awakened.
The Primordial Hunger also sat silently in its place.
Hastur glanced around and found it strange. They all knew that god almighty was awakened by the stars, so shouldn't they be praising and fearing the stars instead?
"Aren't you looking forward to the rematch between god almighty and THE LORD Mysteries after countless years?" Hastur brought up the topic.
The Outer Gods, including the Mother Tree of Desire, turned their gaze towards the stars, but they did not share the stars' optimism.
Looking forward to it?
What nonsense!
Whether the duel between god almighty and THE LORD OF Mysteries would have a clear winner or not, the Outer Gods lingering outside the Primordial Barrier would definitely be affected and fall.
When the top two fight, it's usually the third and fourth who die.
After a brief silence, the Lamp God tentatively asked, "Can the stars awaken the original Creator?"
Hastur stared at the Lamp God for a moment, "Inside your body?"
This light remark sent shivers down the Lamp God's spine, making it too scared to continue the topic.
The eyes of the Mother Tree of Desire and others also flashed with deep fear. For beings like them, nothing is more terrifying than the original Creator awakening inside their bodies.
Losing primordial substances can be regained, but once the original Creator awakens, He can never be driven away.
Hastur noted their reactions and understood that this was their greatest fear.
"Let's discuss how to punish the True Creator and Adam."
The Lamp God changed the topic, and the Mother Tree of Desire and others began discussing it.
Hastur listened quietly to their analysis and ideas. According to them, the best time to target Adam and the True Creator would be when they merge, as their divinity and humanity vie for dominance.
The Lamp God proposed another approach: Adam and the True Creator would inevitably want to reclaim their authority to counter God's awakening from the Sea of Chaos.
Their next target would be the Eternal Sun, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, trapped in the divine realm.
This approach aligned with Hastur's understanding of Adam and the True Creator.
At this juncture, Adam and the True Creator would not easily merge.
Collecting authority, merging into one, countering the Primordial, and accommodating the Sea of Chaos to return as the Great Old One—that should be the path Adam and the True Creator want to take.
After discussing Adam and the True Creator, Hastur turned the topic to the Fallen Mother Goddess. Recently, she had been too quiet, and based on Fors' report, she likely had some plot in the Feysac Empire.
In the end, the Primordial Hunger volunteered to go to the Feysac Empire to investigate.
Hastur couldn't figure out the true purpose of the Primordial Hunger, who had previously warned him about Adam and the High-Dimensional Overseer .
He could only hope that the issue with the High-Dimensional Overseer wouldn't repeat itself.
"Today's meeting is adjourned."
After dismissing the Outer Gods, Hastur sat in his seat, contemplating for a while. Then, he glanced at the six divine realms at the crack of the Primordial Barrier.
It was time for him to visit and meet the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
This God, who had already placed his bets on Hastur, might provide some excellent advice on dealing with Adam and the True Creator.
In the divine realm of the God of Steam and Machinery , a starry avatar descended directly before the God of Steam and Machinery .
Not bad, Hastur was quite satisfied with the result.
He had just tried in the Star Hall to see if he could bypass the divine realm's barriers and descend directly within it.
Otherwise, descending at the divine realm's gate and waiting for the host's permission to enter would be too humiliating for the stars.
"You... the Stars!"
The God of Steam and Machinery was initially stunned, then became wary, subtly invoking the power of his divine realm to guard against any attack from the Stars.
Hastur didn't speak, patiently observing the God of Steam and Machinery 's divine realm. Everything here gave him the feeling of a perfect blend of steam and urbanity, as if he had stepped into a world straight out of a comic.
This place was different from Backlund, a city still within human reach. It was a fantastical realm built of brass gears.
Rising steam, various buildings constructed of brass gears, steam trains whistling by, airships powered by steam in the sky, and neon lights flashing on the streets, all hinted at a corner of a future cyberpunk world.
It seemed that the core of the God of Steam and Machinery 's spirit had already taken the shape of Roselle.
The scenes in this realm were likely described by Roselle to the God of Steam and Machinery , who then etched them into his divine realm.
"Stars, what brings you here unannounced?" The God of Steam and Machinery 's voice was somewhat stiff, as if unprepared to welcome this sudden visitor.
Hmm, a somewhat neutral voice.
Hastur was a bit surprised. When reading the book, he had always imagined the God of Steam and Machinery to be a woman, a true Steam Goddess.
After all, the tarot card representing the God of Steam and Machinery was the High Priestess, and in the mystical world, it symbolized femininity.
Moreover, the love-hate relationship between the God of Steam and Machinery and Roselle resembled that of estranged lovers, longing for Roselle's return through various actions.
Now, taking a closer look at the God of Steam and Machinery standing before him, he appeared to be around 1.9 meters tall, surrounded by a hazy light composed of countless illusory objects.
Behind him were thin, projection-like scrolls depicting the developmental history of human society across different classes.
With thousands of years of civilization's weight and breadth.
His facial features were rugged and resolute, with a braided beard on his chin.
Judging by his appearance alone, he should be male.
But why did such a figure have a neutral voice?
Was it merely the influence of feminine power?
"This is a nice realm, but something is missing," Hastur put aside his thoughts, scanned the God of Steam and Machinery 's divine realm, and raised his right hand, creating an embryonic vision of the world.
A future transitioning from the steam era to the electrical era, a bustling metropolis with coal-free trains, four-wheeled cars, and airplanes soaring through the sky...
This was a new era distinct from the steam age.
Hastur couldn't be sure if Roselle had discussed future world fantasies with the God of Steam and Machinery , so he didn't make any definitive statements, instead observing the God of Steam and Machinery 's reaction.
"How do you know about such a future?" The God of Steam and Machinery seemed visibly uncomfortable.
Hastur smiled and said, "The stars observe everything, and the future will be no exception."
The God of Steam and Machinery was silent for a moment, then conjured a table made of brass gears and a brown wooden bench, inviting Hastur to sit.
"Such a future no longer has a chance to appear."
Hastur knew he was referring to the apocalypse and calmly replied, "It seems that your vision of the future differs from mine."
The God of Steam and Machinery was slightly moved, "Did you really see a future after the apocalypse?"
