The day when the stars return, when the old days return.
This is the description of the coming of the Old Ones in the Earth Star novel "Call of Cthulhu".
To be fair, although the Old Ones in the Cthulhu mythology are twisted, they don’t have much subjective dislike for humans.
This alone is much better than the abyss demon in the Earth Star myth.
If humans were really allowed to make a choice between the old world and the abyss world, then the old world would undoubtedly be more suitable for human survival.
However, Zhou Weide does not believe that the real world that has forgotten the stars will be a world controlled by the old rulers.
Because the Old Gods are recorded in Earth Star science fiction and horror novels, if they can all exist in reality, then other Earth Star myths are unreasonably false.
Moreover, there is no record of the Old Ones in the various local teachings of the Byron Kingdom. This is really inconsistent with the pollution phenomenon of the Old Ones.
"Reality forgets the stars, and dreams face the stars.
It seems that the status of the real world cannot suppress the dream world, so that the dream world can ignore the shield of the real world."

The constant pressure from his chest and head made it impossible for Zhou Weide to watch the bright stars for a long time.
As a last resort, he pulled his body away from the silt-like layer and swam back to the gate of the small courtyard.
Although the first void exploration ended in a hurry, Zhou Weide reaped rewards far beyond his imagination.
Not only did he know how to explore the void, he also used the light of the stars in the void to break away from the cognitive interference of the real world.
Now he needs a lamp that can accompany him on a long journey, a raft that can float in the water, and a long pole to punt the boat.
The problem of the lamps was easy to solve. There was a battery car parked in the corridor of the small courtyard. Zhou Weide only needed to remove the battery and equip it with a light bulb.
The wooden rafts were more troublesome. There was no suitable wood in the small yard for him to assemble the wooden rafts.
So, he had to dismantle his wooden bed and use the wooden bed planks that were relatively comfortable to sleep on as wooden rafts.
As for the long pole for punting the boat, he prepared a long bamboo pole and a threaded steel bar.
When all preparations were completed, Zhou Weide first pushed the raft into the darkness of the void shrouded in light.
Then fix the light bulb on the wooden stick and constantly adjust the height to ensure that the white light emitted by the light bulb can completely envelope him.
On the other side, in order to monitor the loss of power, he also removed the power display panel of the battery car.
As for the most important backup light source, he not only prepared a flashlight for emergency use, but also brought a large bucket of peanut oil, cotton wool, and an iron basin as backup lighting equipment.
The principle of backup lighting equipment is similar to keroseneLamps and candles are burning phenomena of liquid grease and solidified grease.
After selecting some more tools, Zhou Weide stepped onto the raft carrying an ax and threaded steel bars.
He picked up the bamboo pole and reached down hard. The reaction force pushed the raft away from the home ferry.
"The stars guide me, and the light protects me. I drift freely and set sail on my dream journey."
The big red lantern emits warm red light, and the incandescent bulb emits The white light and the small wooden raft carried the young man on the isolated island on his journey.
No one knows how many dangers there are in the unknown void. Fortunately, the barrier at the junction of light and darkness will turn into a solid body, covering the young man with armor when traveling far away.
When the raft arrived at the junction of warm red light and void, it was not blocked by invisible barriers.

Different colors of light blend together like a whole, and the wooden rafts push forward the invisible barrier against the white light.
This means that the passage into the stars is light. Those without light are unable to shake the barriers. Those with light will return and the barriers will melt.
When Mubai completely used up the lighting range of his home, Zhou Weide turned around and looked behind him. He found that his home had turned into a warm red star, floating among the stars.
At this moment, he seemed to have entered the boundless sea of stars, and his simple wooden raft became the ferry of the sea of stars. It seemed that he was the only traveler left in the whole world.
However, he does not feel lonely, because the stars are watching him. He swims among the stars. Although he is not the lord of the stars, he is still the son of them.
There was light on the battery display, and the shining numbers reminded Zhou Weide to move forward boldly. Although our light is limited, it is by no means an endless accident.
"Although the battery shows four bars of power, the first two bars are long-lasting and the last two bars are illusory.
I only have about one and a half bars of time. If I use this If we don't find a new ferry within the time, we can only return as soon as possible."
Zhou Weide was not worried about getting lost in the darkness of the void. The strange warm red light of his home always reminded him of the direction of his return.
The biggest problem restricting him now is the continuation of light and the passage of real time.
This also reminded him that when he enters the dream world again in the future, it is best to do so in a safe and undisturbed place.
Otherwise, being awakened while floating in the darkness of the void is a waste of time and extremely dangerous.
"Looking at the mountain and running to death, the sea of desire is endless. I don't know the size of the stars. The stars that seem to be closest to me are probably not close to me.
Now only Being able to follow your feelings may be the meaning of exploration. After eliminating countless wrong answers, you can always get close to the right answer. ”
Thanks to the everlasting memory given by the dream world, Zhou Weide does not need to draw the star map himself.
His route and direction of exploration are engraved in his memory. Once he walks through the unreachable road, he will never get lost again.
"Dingle bell, Dingle bell..."
The crisp sound echoed constantly in the darkness shrouded in light, and the sound came from the bell tied to the bamboo pole.
In order to prevent himself from having distracting thoughts after entering a dark and silent environment, Zhou Weide specially brought a bell to accompany him while rowing.
In fact, the effect was not good. The constantly echoing bells inevitably distracted his attention, but it also made him feel alive, not a punting puppet in the dark.
While driving, Zhou Weide soon discovered a strange phenomenon.
He found six stars surrounding his home, and it felt like stars holding the moon.
He doesn't think there is anything noble about his home, and he doesn't think the stars should revolve around him.
He guessed that the six stars surrounding his home were probably related to him, so he locked onto a star that emitted blue light and moved forward.
He wants to see if there is a past that he has forgotten, or a dream that is connected to the earth and stars.
Zhou Weide has always looked at the stars in the dream world based on the cosmic star view of the earth, but the actual situation told him that he was wrong.
When he locked onto the blue star, he didn't feel any difference at first, but as he continued to move forward, the blue star gradually developed some kind of gravitational pull.
Under the pull of that gravitational force, his raft continued to accelerate as if it was raising a sail, as if not only he wanted to get close to the blue stars, but the blue stars also wanted to touch him.
"Pure blue, but not entangled by clouds and white mist, otherwise it would be too much like an earth star."
