CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER365-GOD OF ELEMENTS

[Would you like to begin the ninth stage of the trial?]

Such a prompt suddenly appeared before Daniel’s eyes.At that moment, however, a trace of hesitation crossed his face.

What exactly would the content of the ninth stage trial be?Would his Time Stream still be effective inside it?

But very quickly, Daniel’s expression grew firm.This trial space at most could only be considered a demi-plane.And a demi-plane was unable to interfere with Daniel’s Time Stream, so theoretically speaking, Daniel was still very safe.As long as he could use the Time Stream, the danger to him would be greatly reduced.

In fact, there was another reason Daniel was willing to go in and take a look—his Luck Value was so high, yet no danger warnings had appeared at all.That meant the ninth stage trial shouldn’t involve any life-threatening peril.

Since that was the case, why hesitate? He should just go in directly.

Thinking this, Daniel no longer wasted time. Without hesitation, he activated the ninth stage of the trial.

The moment he stepped inside, however, he immediately felt an irresistible suction force.In an instant, the force dragged Daniel’s entire body forward.

And this suction... Daniel knew it all too well. Although he had only experienced it once before, he immediately understood where this place led!

Damn it! He had been tricked by this Human Emperor Trial!

Daniel never expected...that while participating in the Human Emperor Trial, he would be pulled into a portal leading to the past.

According to determinism, as long as he didn’t return to the past to meet Luna, he would always remain safe.That was why Daniel had never once considered entering a time portal to return to the past.Even when he encountered such portals during his explorations, he deliberately avoided them.

What Daniel could never have imagined was that even while participating in the Human Emperor Trial, he would still end up encountering one!

Perhaps... this was destiny.

Daniel sighed helplessly. Since there was no way to refuse, he could only take things step by step.Besides, without completing this stage, he wouldn’t be able to continue progressing with his Star Upgrade Quest.

It was important to note that once he went back to the past, the Time Stream would no longer be usable.

When Daniel opened his eyes again, he discovered he was now in the middle of a vast forest.He immediately extended his mind power, scanning the surroundings, and quickly realized that he was still in the Primordial Land—only, this seemed to be 15,000 years ago.

He could judge the time so precisely thanks to the knowledge he had learned from the Royal Museum.

Just then, his mind power detected a somewhat familiar presence.Strictly speaking, it wasn’t familiarity—more like someone he had met only once or twice before.

Yes—it was the God of Elements.

Daniel was shocked. In this era of 15,000 years ago, he had actually encountered the God of Elements. At that very moment, the god sat quietly beside a small lake.

Daniel frowned. He couldn’t quite figure out what the ninth stage trial was supposed to be.Normally, there should have been a system prompt—but this time, there wasn’t a single hint.

After hesitating for a while, Daniel decided to approach the God of Elements. Perhaps this figure was the only clue he had.

With that thought, he began walking toward the god. After nearly an hour, he finally arrived at the lakeside.

The God of Elements sensed his presence, but after a brief pause, simply turned his gaze back toward the tranquil waters, as though Daniel’s arrival meant nothing at all.

At that moment, Daniel activated his Eye of Insight, focusing on the figure before him.

[Faer] [Level: 300] [Race: Element] [Emperor of the Elemental Race] [Current Tier: Demigod Rank] [...]

So—the God of Elements’ true name was Faer.

This was the first time Daniel had ever learned it. At the same time, he realized that Faer was actually a pure elemental being.No wonder the God of Elements possessed such profound insight into elemental forces—he himself was an elemental entity.

Even so, Faer currently maintained a human-like appearance.But through the Eye of Insight, Daniel could see clearly—before him stood a being of pure element.

Since Faer did not respond, Daniel tried using Psychic Perception to glimpse the other’s thoughts.

To his surprise, what Faer was pondering was nothing more than the changes, divisions, and recombinations of water elements...

Wait a second—if you keep playing with it like this, aren’t you basically on the verge of creating nuclear reactions?!

The thought popped into Daniel’s head, and he couldn’t help but shake it off, a faint smile tugging at his lips.The rules of this world were different—perhaps the Primordial Land didn’t follow the same principles as his own world.

Still, Daniel realized just how deep the God of Elements’ thinking on elemental forces truly was.

After some thought, Daniel spoke:

"Water and water element... aggregation and division...""According to Mathius’ Theorem, it still seems somewhat lacking...""Perhaps you could consider integrating Aphelios’ Third Formula..."

The originally contemplative Faer was immediately shocked upon hearing Daniel’s words.He stood abruptly, turning his gaze to Daniel.

"Human... you truly are a genius!""I never imagined you would possess such profound understanding of elements!""Human, can you tell me your name? I believe I can call you my friend."

Daniel considered for a moment, then smiled faintly.

"You may call me Crossbridge."

Faer’s expression lit up with excitement. Stepping forward, he clasped Daniel’s hand firmly.

"Crossbridge, my name is Faer. I have an unparalleled obsession with the elements.""Now, I hope to discuss many more things with you. I wonder—would you have the time?"

Daniel’s expression turned somewhat helpless.Indeed, the God of Elements lived up to his name—his passion for the elements was nothing short of madness.

But... should he agree?

After a brief moment of thought, Daniel finally nodded.At the moment, he didn’t seem to have anything else pressing to do.And besides, this was an excellent chance to better understand the God of Elements.If they met again in the future, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to be on good terms.

With that, Daniel said,

"As you wish, Faer. I too would like to discuss this with you."

Faer’s face lit up with enthusiasm as he asked excitedly:

"Daniel, do you think that water element, ice element, and fire element can be transformed into one another?"
