Although he liked reading about them, it didn't mean Zhang Yanhang wanted to encounter them in the Ashen World or the Main World. After all, those cosmic Three Pillar Gods topped even among the Outer Gods, and he really couldn't afford to provoke them at the moment. In the Cthulhu Mythos, only the God of Blind Foolishness, Azathoth, was stronger than them.
And the God of Blind Foolishness, Azathoth, is the Creator God of the Cthulhu Mythos. The universe is carried by His consciousness, and in His consciousness, the Three Pillar Gods were born. He is omniscient and omnipotent, but for an all-knowing and all-powerful being like Him, the universe becomes meaningless, more akin to a conglomerate of remnants with no reason to continue existence.
This led to a conflict between Him and the Old Gods, causing Him to be stripped of His reason, thus transforming into the God of Blind Foolishness.
