A journey into an infinite dimension

However, because Ye Jian did not want to disturb the real body of "Shub-Niggurath" for an experiment, he simply chose to summon the Black Goat Kid.

Because he knew that the black goat kids that appeared in the ritual of summoning Shub-Niggurath were all sent by Shub-Niggurath after being alarmed.

Only by using the Dark Young as a normal summon target would one avoid disturbing Shub-Niggurath.

Originally, Ye Jian thought so.

【Xiaoye, get ready to run away! 】

The voice that suddenly rang in his consciousness startled Ye Jian, who was just a few feet away from the black goat kid.

However, no matter how stunned he was, his trust in Ge Jiuye made him almost instinctively command Yue to transform into a motorcycle, and then carry him away from the spot in a stream of light.

[What, what’s wrong? 】

Looking back at the black goat kid who didn't move at all, Ye Jian couldn't help but ask in confusion.

[Long story short, your virginity is at risk.]

This was the first time Ye Jian heard Ge Jiuye's serious tone.

However, the extremely serious tone and words spoken caught people off guard.

【....ah?】

Ye Jian was completely stunned.

If you change those two words to "life", it won't seem strange.

The Dark Young is the offspring of Shub-Niggurath, but is in reality a clone of her. Once summoned, she will be able to sense it no matter how far away she is.

Ignoring Ye Jian's daze, Ge Jiuye just explained seriously.

[You know, the beings in this pantheon all have a strong innate fondness for you, and different beings express their affection in different ways.]

[Plus, these beings don't have feelings of shame or anything like that like humans do, so if they like you, they'll express it.]

[Unfortunately, both Shub-Niggurath and the Dark Young expressed their affection through union.]

"..."

Hearing this, Ye Jian immediately understood.

Then his face turned green.

Of course he knew what "combination" meant. After reading so much information about living beings, he learned it even though he didn't want to.

However, it was precisely because he knew this that he was so frightened that his face turned green.

He did not reject the temperament and posture of the Black Goat Kid and the Shoggoth, but his aesthetic taste was normal. Being able to treat them with a normal mind was one thing, but other aspects were another matter.

Besides, he is only 5 years old, at most 6 years old!

dong dong dong ——

Ye Jian felt the shaking of the ground very clearly. He turned around and looked at the black goat kid chasing him with several stubby hooves, and was almost scared to tears.

Don't come here! ! !

Chapter 397: Wearing a yellow robe, I gaze upon the stars beneath the robe, I am the king

"Hahaha……"

With his understanding of the terrain of the entire planet and Yue's speed, Ye Jian finally got rid of the black goat kid and lay tiredly on Yue's body, breathing heavily.

Although he was not responsible for the movement, he was so nervous that he forgot to breathe when he thought about the consequences of being caught.

This time it was his mistake, and a big one.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have been so itchy to summon, or I would have chosen other races to summon.

[Ge Jiuye, you knew about this situation, why didn't you warn me...]

Ye Jian said in his mind with some grievance.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson. You dared to cast a spell using magic you picked up without even understanding the information thoroughly."

With two light snorts, Ge Jiuye said that you deserve it.

[Even if you carefully understand the habits of Shub-Niggurath and the Dark Young, this kind of thing would never happen.]

But I didn't know that they not only had no ill will towards me, but actually had a good impression of me...

Although he really wanted to refute, Ye Jian also knew that he was indeed too careless this time.

Just because one knows that this pantheon has no ill intentions towards oneself, it is definitely not a wise choice for either a magician or an explorer who enters an unknown territory to cast magic based on knowledge 'picked up on the road'.

So at this moment, Ye Jian was extremely grateful that he did not try to summon a divine being, nor did he choose to summon "Shub-Niggurath" because he thought that all he would summon would be black goat kids.

Ye Jian didn't know whether Shub-Niggurath would respond to the summons, but he knew very well that once the real body was summoned, he would never be able to escape.

【I know I was wrong...】

Lying powerlessly on Yue's back, Ye Jian felt extremely helpless at this moment.

If he wanted to go back to Gensokyo, he had to first use the teleportation seal left there to return to the plain world, and then he could remove the ability of his stand and return to Gensokyo.

Otherwise, if you enter the plain world from here, then after you release your ability, you will still be here.

But there was no guarantee that the Black Goat Kid was wandering around the Great Library right now. If he found him, he would definitely chase him.

Therefore, Ye Jian needs to lure the black goat kid away first before he can activate the teleportation seal.

However, activating the teleportation seal requires magical authentication, and his current magical power has been drained by a series of magic and materializations and has not yet recovered.

Besides, he felt a little embarrassed to just abandon the Black Young and leave by himself.

After all, it was he who summoned the other person, so he should be responsible for sending the other person back.

......The road ahead is long.

[Time here flows three times slower than in Gensokyo, so it's okay if you don't rush.]

It seemed as if he had made up his mind to teach Ye Jian a profound lesson, and Ge Jiuye had no intention of helping at all.

【Okay, let’s recover our magic power first.】

Nodding helplessly, Ye Jian commanded Yue to land on the back of a cliff to avoid being too conspicuous in the air and being discovered by the black goat kid.

I feel a little sorry, but I can only defeat the Dark Young and send it back.

While meditating to restore his magic power, Ye Jian read the information about the Black Young and Shub-Niggurath, thinking about his next plan.

He wanted to send the Black Young back, and he also wanted to go back, so it was useless to escape blindly.

Although the strength of the black goat kid is roughly equivalent to that of a beginner demon, Ye Jian still has a great chance of winning given that the opponent has no hostility towards him.

“—Huh?”

However, just as he finalized the plan and was about to focus entirely on recovering his magic power, he suddenly froze as if he had sensed something.

Is there a supreme consciousness that suddenly connects with me?

Originally, this moment of daze was enough to make the consciousness connected to Ye Jian do what it wanted to do, but at this time, the benefits of dual personality were reflected.

Even though Ye Jian failed to react, Ge Jiuye did and subjectively became immune to this connection of consciousness.

Then after Ye Jian realized the existence of this consciousness, all information about it was also observed by him at the same time.

"Lord of the Deep Sky Star Sea?"

After coming to his senses, he recognized the identity of the consciousness and also understood its purpose in finding him. Ye Jian suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Lord of the Deep Sky Star Sea", whose real name is "Hastur", is one of the Old Ones and a well-deserved divine being.

Although his true form was imprisoned by the ancient gods, who were the mortal enemies of the Old Ones, in Lake Hali near the ruins of the ancient city of Carcosa on a planet in the galaxy where the star of the Pleiades cluster is located, his incarnation is the divine being most often summoned by his believers.

And the reason why this divine being came to Ye Jian...

The location of the Sierra Nova Library is in the Pleiades star cluster, in a galaxy with the star 'Sierra Nova' as its main star, which is also the origin of the name 'Sierra Nova Library'.

And Seraino is also known as Pleiades.

————In other words, the place where Ye Jian is at this moment is near the hometown of this Old One.

In addition, his aura is even enough to attract beings from outside the world, so it is possible that he had already attracted the attention of this Old One when he first came here.

Then, the reason why Hastur intended to establish a consciousness connection with Yami was not out of any malicious intention.

I just noticed his predicament and decided to help him.

However, before his consciousness could connect with Ye Jian, Ge Jiuye regarded it as pollution and made him immune.

Now it's embarrassing.

"Um, Lord of the Deep Star Sea, please forgive my instinct for self-preservation. I'm deeply sorry for offending you."

Ye Jian whispered to himself in embarrassment.

He knew Hastur could hear him.

It would have been fine if he hadn't realized it before, but now he knew that Hastur was watching him, so all of his information was also being observed by Ye Jian in reverse.

Soon, after Ye Jian finished speaking, the previous consciousness connected again.

This time, neither Ye Jian nor Ge Jiuye stopped it.

[We can immediately immunize Him against any situation, don't worry.]

After leaving this sentence, Ge Jiuye went into a diving state.

Ye Jian thought that she didn't want Hastur to find her, so he didn't respond to her.

Because it's already connected.

[It's okay, I didn't warn you in advance. Your vigilance is commendable.]

An indescribable and unknown language was transmitted into Ye Jian's consciousness by a low voice. Although it was an unknown language, Ye Jian could understand it even without understanding the information.

It’s probably the effect of consciousness connection.

Thinking of this, Ye Jian responded softly.

Thank you for your praise, great Lord of the Deep Sky Star Sea.

Ye Jian is not a person who does not know etiquette. The other party is a divine being that is countless times more powerful than him and is worthy of being treated seriously by him. Therefore, he will give the other party the greatest respect and courtesy.

[You can just call me by my name. I am Hastur.]

In a trance, Ye Jian seemed to see an indescribable figure waving at him and said indifferently.

He was also unable to see Hastur's true form.

Because it is an indescribable existence, including in its information, it is still an indescribable existence.

It is indescribable, no matter how much you observe it, it is still indescribable.

[Lord Hastur, what can I do for you?]

Although he saw through Hastur's purpose, out of habit of not revealing his own abilities, Ye Jian did not speak out.

[I am very interested in you, and the black goat kid seems to have the same idea as me.]

Faintly, Ye Jian seemed to hear a hint of laughter in Hastur's voice.

[Perhaps because you and I have a strong affinity, this is the first time I have encountered such a being in such a long time.]

Hastur is well aware of the image of his pantheon in the eyes of outsiders. Basically, no one has any good feelings towards them except those who exist in the same pantheon and worldview.

He knew it, but He never cared about it.

Just like, He would never cast His gaze on beings below His equal.

However, after discovering that Ye Jian was not afraid of the black goat kid, but instead greatly piqued the black goat kid's interest at first sight, he became interested in a lower-level existence for the first time.

Perhaps it was just as He said, it was because Ye Jian had a very high compatibility with their pantheon.

If someone has a high compatibility with them, it means that he has the possibility of becoming one of them.

However, such people only exist in theories borrowed from other pantheons. Therefore, Hastur, who has always been indifferent, could not help but feel a little interested in Ye Jian, the true number one.

Because even He would naturally feel close to him during the communication process, this kind of compatibility is no joke.

I see. So it's because of our compatibility?

At this moment, Ye Jian finally understood why beings like Shoggoth and the Black Young felt close to him.
