Mystery: The Stars Returner

"Why, are you reluctant to let me have a glass of wine?" the uninvited guest asked elegantly.

"Of course I'm willing, but I didn't expect you to come down tonight."

Russell put away his shock and poured a glass of wine for the guest with a smile.

"I want to correct the little mistake in your words. I did not come down from above, but I have always been below."

"Oh, are you also interested in coming down to experience the fireworks on earth?"

Russell became really interested. He moved another chair from the other side and sat down, with an expression on his face that he was ready to listen to the story.

“There are so many forces that can block prying eyes, and only by coming down can you truly understand what is going on.”

"Then you are coming tonight?" Russell raised his eyebrows slightly.

The goddess of the night took a sip from her wine glass and looked at Klein on the other side, "Join the party and end the natural disaster."

Before Klein could speak, Roselle chuckled and said, "After all, this is the first time the three of us have talked face to face, right?"

"As survivors of that era, the three of us are far more special than these time-travelers now."

"It's a pity that you hid it too deeply in the past, which caused Klein and I to take many detours."

The goddess of the night just said calmly: "Times have changed.

. "

"Yes, times have changed." Russell felt sad and drank a full glass of wine.

Before entering the Age of Stars, the gods and hidden existences within the initial barrier were intrigues and plots against each other.

Until the ancient sun god awakened and fell asleep again, and the outer gods of the past came one after another in the starry sky. From then on, we entered the age of stars. At first, the hidden existences in the barrier united with a tacit understanding and worked together for their own survival.

The so-called gods still have the same evil nature as human beings. They will only think of uniting together when a powerful foreign enemy is approaching.

"I've always been curious, which country does the goddess come from? Europe? Or America?" Russell quickly put away her lonely mood and asked with a smile on her face.

"Europe."

"It's a pity that you didn't learn Chinese, otherwise the diary I left behind, ahem, wouldn't be able to help Klein."

The goddess of the night glanced at Russell lightly and said in pure Mandarin: "Huang Tao, does the witch taste good?"

"...!!"

Russell stood up from his seat in shock. If Klein hadn't held the table slightly, the entire table would have almost been overturned.

"You, how can you speak Mandarin?" Russell looked at the goddess of the night in disbelief. This foreign friend who is also a time traveler has never taken the initiative to collect Russell's diaries, nor has he shown the ability to understand Chinese characters. .

"I already noticed you when you were promoted to Sequence 9 General Knowledge and developed new inventions for this era for the first time." The goddess of the night still had a calm expression on her face, "Don't underestimate the learning of a god. ability."

"..." Russell opened his mouth, smiled awkwardly at the end, sat back down in his seat, and drank silently with his head down.

Klein on the side laughed unceremoniously and cheerfully. Fortunately, he had never been in the habit of writing a diary, nor had he left any traces of his social deeds.

"Still laughing? The biggest beneficiary of the diary I wrote is you."

“Gratitude and amusement are not mutually exclusive emotions.”

"..."

Russell was speechless and just sighed silently in his heart. After all, he was young and frivolous.

"Klein, you seem to particularly like the bathroom?"

The goddess of the night's faint words made Klein's expression obviously unnatural. Russell's eyes instantly lit up, staring at Klein as if he had caught the secret of his cheating wife.

"Going to Source Castle through the bathroom can avoid some unnecessary trouble." Klein answered this question casually.

The goddess of the night did not continue to talk about this topic, which made Russell dissatisfied: "That's it? I thought you liked to do shameful things in the bathroom."

"I'm not you." Klein shook his head helplessly.

"..." Russell consciously shut up and continued to drink with his head down.

Without Russell's lively atmosphere, Klein and the Night Goddess began to talk about serious matters, about ending the natural disaster.

According to Klein's original idea, Will would be responsible for coordinating all of this. After all, he is now the most powerful guardian within the initial barrier, besides the stars.

With the Key of Light in hand and at least half of the old strength, in front of a group of old clones of the outer gods who are still Sequence 1 strength, they can basically establish the overall situation.

The only person who needs to be on guard is Tianzun. At this point, Klein is confident that he can hold back Tianzun. Even if he can still interfere with the battle, it will be greatly reduced.

What the goddess of the night is worried about is that those old Outer Gods who have come within the initial barrier may have existences that are incomparably compatible with the City of Disaster. When the City of Disaster appears, if it falls into the hands of the Old Outer God, what will happen to it? It is the real beginning of the end.

"If the stars can intervene in this matter, it will be stable." Russell, who was quietly listening to the discussion between Klein and the Night Goddess, mentioned it and looked at the stars naturally.

In the quiet night, the stars are bright, and the falling starlight, together with the crimson moon, embellishes the dark night sky.

"He seems to have entered some kind of strange state." The goddess of the night pointed out.

"Competing with Tianzun and God for time?"

"Perhaps He is facing other enemies." Klein's eyes seemed to pass through the cover of the starry sky and saw the stars sitting quietly in the Hall of Stars, just as he was staring at the enemy deep in the starry sky when faced with a powerful enemy.

"The Fallen Mother Goddess and the Mother Tree of Desire?"

"It may be an existence more difficult to deal with than them." Klein was a little unsure. He was entangled with Tianzun and often fell into deep sleep, so he missed many things.

He just guessed from some of Tianzun's abnormal mood swings and behaviors that the stars might be facing other more terrifying enemies.

Because apart from the known outer gods of the past in the starry sky, Tianzun's allies also have a mysterious ally, an existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Tianzun.

The goddess of the night shook her head and said: "There are too many secrets in the starry sky, far more than we can easily pry into."

"When the sky falls, there will always be a tall person to hold it up. Klein, the future Lord of Mysteries, I am very optimistic about you." Russell said cheerfully, and then asked with a slight frown: "What kind of situation do you think the stars are currently in?" Level? Sequence 0? The old days? Or beyond the old days?"

"I can't answer this question." The goddess of the night shook her head.

"We haven't really been promoted to sequence 0 yet."

Klein answered in the affirmative, which made the goddess of the night look in surprise.

Qunxing hasn’t been promoted to sequence 0 yet?

He and other secret beings believe that the arrival of stars in the starry sky is a ceremony for the stars to ascend to sequence 0.

The Palace of Stars is currently rising, and it is most likely the process of being promoted to the Old One.

Russell was shocked and expressed doubts about the news.

How could the stars that almost suppressed the starry sky and prevented the old Outer Gods who entered the initial barrier from daring to act rashly and made the era enter the era of stars not even reach sequence 0?

Even he, a failed time traveler, once ascended the throne of the Black Emperor of Sequence 0. Would the stars be worse than him?

"This is what Tianzun told me." Klein said: "At first, I thought it was Tianzun who wanted to shake my will and deliberately deceived me with false information to stop me from asking for help from the stars."

"This is what He would do." Russell curled his lips disdainfully.

"But this is the truth."

"Is it really true?" Russell still couldn't believe the authenticity of the news.

"Why are you so sure of this?" Russell asked.

Klein moved away from looking at time and space and said faintly: "The Lord of Mysteries is also known as the beacon of destiny."

Russell chewed his teeth and thought about it for a while, and then said a little uncertainly: "Does this mean the crow's mouth is always accurate?"

"..."

"..."

Klein and the Night Goddess both remained silent.
