Chapter 1705 The Starry Sky! The Mysterious Shadow's Arrangement? (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Just like the old lady left behind a dense array of lightning bolts on the winding hill, constantly performing some kind of desecration of a corpse.

As a former rival who challenged his position, given the cunning and treacherous nature of the Shadow of Mystery, He Ao didn't believe that He wouldn't have left some kind of backup plan for the Wizard Emperor.

After all, tyrannical gods are very difficult to kill. If they are not completely dead, what resurrection techniques does the Wizard Emperor have? Wouldn't that just allow the Wizard Emperor to do sit-ups?

The last tyrant Heo had ever seen, Andavier, was still trying to do sit-ups.

And this sacred shadow left on the Star Emperor looks very 'suitable'.

The backstory tells of a young wizard who has received an ancient inheritance and has found the battlefield.

The era in which that young wizard was active was already the era of sacred religion, and wizards in this era probably did not have it as good as those in the era of the Magic Empire.

Furthermore, the system specifically noted that he had obtained an 'ancient heritage'. So, where did his ancient heritage come from?

How ancient is "ancient"? Ancient enough to predate the religious era, the imperial era?
This legacy can even support a wizard to traverse star storms and find ancient battlefields that no one has ever reached before. Just how amazing must this legacy be?
What if the inheritance this young wizard received came from the Wizard Emperor?
What if the inheritance this young wizard received was originally a contingency plan for resurrection left by the Wizard Emperor?

If we follow this line of thought, the system doesn't say what the young wizard's final fate was, but it mentions something interesting in the later notes.

The Sentinel might regard those who wield the Divine Shadow as their hostile deities.

What if it's not 'being treated as'?

Please note the last point: the reflection is the reflection of a person, and the person is the reflection of the reflection.

This statement sounds a bit convoluted, but if we think about it another way, the Divine Shadow will merge into the holder's reflection, does that mean that the Divine Shadow will replace the holder's reflection?

That person is the reflection of the reflection, so does that mean that the divine shadow will, to some extent, replace the holder?
The sacred shadow is, in turn, a reflection of the mysterious shadow.

Leave a little power behind so that the Star Emperor's resurrected heir will think he's struck gold, and then use it.

And so it was gradually replaced by the Holy Shadow, and eventually it was completely devoured.

This aligns with He Ao's perception of the mysterious shadow as sinister.

Of course, this may not actually be the case, but based on the system's description, He Ao cannot rule out this possibility.

This thing looks good; in terms of its abilities, it can almost grant one a portion of the authority of the Mysterious Shadow. However, the pitfalls behind it are truly enormous.

He Ao even felt that the items related to the previous older sister were more dangerous.

However, these things are truly powerful. That's how this twisted, extraordinary world works; the more powerful something is, the more dangerous it becomes.

He looked down at the third item.

The items in the system are generally related to the high-level powers encountered in dungeons. We already have items related to the two gods who appeared this time, the Witch of Desire and the Shadow of Mystery. So what's next?
A combination of the two? Or perhaps a randomly generated entity? Surely there can't be a third god this time, can there?

3. The Starry Sky Weeps
The stars are the dwelling place of the gods, but this dwelling place also has its own god, another great being.

Those who live in the Kingdom of Jesus are always listening to the whispers from the stars.

Those dazzling stars were not natural phenomena or celestial anomalies, but speaking deities.

Those who hear the stars speak will experience a qualitative leap in an instant. No matter what you were before—farmer, slave, merchant, or noble—you will become the highest class in the theocracy: 'priests'.

Being a Star Priest is a noble and glorious profession. They are the walkers of God on earth, the loyal dogs who shepherd God's lambs. Wherever starlight shines, Star Priests will receive God's protection.

The Starry Sky Pope is the leader of the Starry Sky Priests. He is the bridge between the theocracy and God, the shepherd of God, and the leader of the theocracy.

The Pope prays for favorable weather, bright sunshine, and bountiful harvests for the Holy See, and the gods always grant his prayers on this starlit land.

Under God's protection, the theocracy maintains peace and tranquility.

Star Priests never believe in or pursue the existence of a divine kingdom, because they believe that the place where they are is the divine kingdom protected by the gods.

Until one day, strangers descended upon the land of the Holy Kingdom. They claimed to be believers in the stars as well, and came to seek the power left behind by the gods.

But their appearance was completely different from that of the Star Priests; they were insane and bloodthirsty, with an eerie light flashing in their eyes.

The initial communication was harmonious, but soon this harmony evolved into conflict, and then into war.

The strangers accused the pope of stealing divine treasures and establishing heretical beliefs on earth.

When countless warships covered the sky like dark clouds, and when countless frenzied strangers descended upon the land like locusts, the prosperity and peace that the Holy Kingdom had maintained for over a thousand years vanished like smoke.

The Star Priests fought bravely against the strangers until the desert turned into lava, the oasis into scorched earth, and the ocean evaporated and dried up.

When the last Star Priest died on the earth, and when the Pope's body was completely obliterated, the Strangers finally triumphed.

The once prosperous theocracy was reduced to desolation and madness. The twisted land was utterly abandoned, and the remaining people were loaded onto foreign spaceships and sent to the stars as slaves.

A young slave escapes the control of strangers and finds redemption on a commercial planet, where he meets a wandering wizard.

The wizard imparted mysterious knowledge to him and led him into the extraordinary world, whereupon he received a new name: 'wizard'.

The young wizard wandered among the stars, beginning to understand the world beyond the Holy Land, learning about gods, mysteries, angels, and discovering that those strangers were indeed believers in the stars.

Believers in the stars are notorious in the universe because they are often synonymous with madness, cruelty, and tyranny, and the stars themselves signify madness.

Those who hear the whispers of the stars will not become Star Priests, but will instead be transformed into crazed monsters.

Believers in the stars are forever chasing something, which may be some kind of treasure or a certain planet.

Stargazers claim they are searching for the power of the stars that has been left behind on Earth.

But they can never provide evidence to prove that it is the power lost from the stars. These believers often take a fancy to a treasure or a planet and claim that it is the power lost from the stars.

Countless civilizations have perished because they were targeted by cosmic believers.

After countless adventures, the young wizard returned to the land of the Holy Kingdom, where the once-destroyed planet was now sprouting new life.

On this land, he heard the whispers of the starry sky.

At the edge of the star field, on a desolate and ruined planet, a new theocracy emerged on the land, and a new pope established a new system, transforming the distorted land into fertile fields.

In the land of the Holy Kingdom, everyone who hears the whispers of the stars becomes a noble Star Priest. These Star Priests gather together and, together with the Pope, govern the prosperous Holy Kingdom.

Until the arrival of new strangers.

The holder of the Starry Night Tears will be able to choose a planet or world and reshape its surface environment, controlling the weather, mountains, and landforms of the entire world.

Those who possess the Starry Night Tear will attain an extremely high rank on a planet transformed by the Starry Night Tear, and will receive a boost to their rationality, reducing their madness. Their bodies will naturally repair themselves over time, and they will continuously receive a replenishment of power.

If the holder of the Starry Sky Tear takes the Starry Sky Tear to the starry sky, they will receive a continuous supply of energy from the starry sky and will be able to cross vast distances and reach every corner of the starry sky in a very short time.

Please note that the tears of the starry sky will eventually attract the gaze of the starry sky, no matter how deeply they hide.

Please note that, guided by fate, the believers in the stars will eventually find the place where the stars weep.

Please note that the power from the stars is both an eternal blessing and an eternal curse. Once the power of the stars is mastered, it cannot be taken away unless the holder dies.

Please note that the sweetness of reason can sometimes be far more dangerous than the poison of madness.

Please note that when the stars look down, danger doesn't only come from the stars.

The starry sky? What's that?

Looking at the item description, He Ao was momentarily stunned.

He quickly recalled the entire content related to the instance. He could understand the appearance of his good friend and the Goddess of Life, since he had indeed sought their help to some extent.

What the heck is the starry sky?

Are there gods corresponding to the starry sky?
He Ao controlled his emotions and instantly pulled back his memories.

Among the suspected deities he encountered whose names contained the word "starry sky," there were two: one was called the Lord of the Starry Sky, and the other was called the Emperor of the Starry Sky.

However, the Star Emperor only exists in Soter's memory.

Soter once wiped out a cult that worshipped the Star Emperor, but Heo couldn't be sure that the Star Emperor was a real god.

He Ao actually had quite a bit of contact with the Lord of the Stars. In the Soter dungeon, he had encountered the followers of the Lord of the Stars from the dungeon world.

Strictly speaking, they are followers of the Lord of the Stars who were influenced by the God of Order.

The Lord of the Stars himself seems to have gone mad.

In addition, the giant star-shaped figure sent to take over the ruins after the tuner's death seems to be a usurper of the Star Lord's path. He Ao once scared him away by mentioning the Star Lord.

The Lord of the Stars must be a real god.

The name seems to match the description of the item as 'the god of the stars'.

But why is the Lord of the Stars involved?
He Ao went through the information in his mind again, and then he suddenly realized that the power attribute of the 'Lord of the Stars' seemed to be green?
The blood of the extraordinary members of the Starry Sky Bishops in the dungeon world seems to be green, and the starlight figures, tainted by the corruption of the Lord of the Stars, also seem to have a hint of green under the radiance of the stars.

If it's green, then the abnormal power is also green, which seems to explain it.

Is the system able to drop items related to the Lord of the Stars this time due to an anomaly?

Is the anomaly related to the Lord of the Stars?
How can these be connected? Since anomalies can change the rules of the world, and the power of the Lord of the Stars seems to be able to reshape the world, plus the same color attribute, are they connected?

Or is there a stronger connection between the anomaly and the Lord of the Stars?
For example, the deity corresponding to the usurper position of the Abnormal God is the Lord of the Stars?

If it corresponds to the Lord of the Stars, then why is the Mysterious Shadow bothering? Can a usurper possibly overstep the authority of two gods of the same attribute?

Or is the mysterious shadow planning to use this anomaly for something else?
If He wanted to fight against the Lord of the Stars, why didn't He just use this anomaly to cultivate a new usurper? Wouldn't that pose an even greater threat?
Or is it that He has a very strong desire for control and is afraid that the newly cultivated tyrants will escape His control?

However, this also seems to explain why the Mysterious Shadow doesn't directly devour the anomaly—because it's not its tyrannical god, and it might not be able to digest it.

For some reason, He Ao felt a strange sense of terror enveloping him, as if his spirit was frantically warning him, as if he had come across some secret he shouldn't have.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

In any case, if his speculation is correct and the mysterious shadow is suspicious, given the guy's treacherous nature, he may have other plans.

Ah, good friends are still the best. They're straightforward, always there when you need them, and truly loyal.

These gods are too complicated and convoluted.

Suppressing his doubts, He Ao organized the contents of the items in front of him.

Unable to deduce more information from this information, he could only keep it in mind for the time being.

However, the higher the level of knowledge involved, the more valuable the system information seems to become.

Sometimes, certain default 'common sense' statements in reviews and introductions may actually contain some terrifying occult knowledge.

He Ao reorganized the information about the three rewards.

Strictly speaking, of the three items, the last one, "Tears of the Stars," appears to be the most 'gentle'.

Moreover, he seems to possess great power, a high status, and the ability to reshape the world and quell madness.

However, it is directly related to the pursuit of a mad god.

Moreover, there is a terrifying 'background' hidden within this.

If the tears of the starry sky are truly the 'fallen power of the stars' that those star worshippers seek, then that's interesting.

The Lord of the Stars is mad, but His lost power appears to be rational.

So here's the question: there must be a reason for this contradiction.

Of all the gods He Ao has encountered so far, it seems that only the Lord of the Stars is insane.

In the beginning, the gods were probably not crazy. If they were crazy, there must have been a reason.

Moreover, He Ao estimated that the Lord of the Stars couldn't have been unaware of his own madness and hadn't made any contingency plans to regain his sanity.

But He is still insane.

This suggests that there is an 'existence' that hopes He is insane; perhaps the Lord of the Stars was driven mad by this very being.

A being capable of driving a god mad is even more terrifying.

Therefore, the system's final warning is, 'Danger doesn't only come from the stars.'

This thing looks ordinary, but it might cause more trouble than the previous two.

He Ao stared at the three items. All three rewards were strongly related to the gods, which should be the effect of achieving 'Radiance of the Stars'.

No, he didn't make a choice immediately, but waited quietly for a while.

Congratulations on triggering the 'Song of Immortality' effect!

[Please select one or more rewards to provide a fusion upgrade related to their conceptual attributes. If no reward is selected, the upgrade will be forfeited, and you will return to the reward selection screen.]

　I need some votes at the end of the month.
