CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER373-THE TRAPPED LAEVE

Unknowingly, three years had passed.

During these three years, Kartora had left her room only a handful of times.

Each time she left, it was solely to complete the Star Upgrade Quest.

Her interactions with others had been limited to asking Daniel questions, as everyone viewed him as possessing vast knowledge.

Due to Daniel’s extensive knowledge, he had gained the unanimous approval of everyone around him.

Of course, Daniel did not hold back; he shared everything he knew, including some advanced theories, with Kartora.

Kartora, for her part, was eager to accept all the knowledge Daniel offered.

As soon as Daniel presented an idea or theory, she would immediately begin conducting experiments.

However, the majority of the time, Kartora isolated herself in her room, fully immersed in her research.

After several academic exchanges, Daniel was surprised to discover that Kartora’s understanding of time was far deeper than his own.

Of course, upon further reflection, this was not entirely unexpected.

After all, Kartora was a deity in the domain of time.

As the days passed, Daniel found himself running out of knowledge to share. From then on, Kartora continued her research alone.

She even modified certain areas to test her theories.

Before long, a year had passed.

During this time, Faer, who had not been seen for a long while, returned.

However, the Faer now before Daniel was not the same as the one who had participated in the Emperor’s Trial.

Faer’s power had grown exponentially!

He had reached the peak of the demigod rank!

Faer had even completed the Star Upgrade Quest.

He only needed to undergo a symbolic promotion ceremony to ascend to Fake God rank.

Faer brought the latest news to the castle.

According to the intelligence he had gathered, Aurelia had entered the Origin Plane.

She had even started communicating with the Sun God, Apollo, attempting to make him one of her followers.

Furthermore, Aurelia had established numerous Divine Temples in the hopes of gathering faith.

Her strength had grown incredibly powerful—she had single-handedly defeated three Fake Gods.

When Faer shared this information, his expression grew complicated. "But I feel that Aurelia has started to lose her mind."

Faer and Daniel chatted casually, both sipping wine.

Daniel slowly lifted his head and stared into the distant Origin Plane.

After a brief silence, he spoke. "Aurelia has indeed become mad."

Faer nodded lightly and then took out several notes that he had compiled over the past period.

"During this time, I’ve come across numerous questions without answers. I would like to ask for your guidance," he said.

Daniel did not refuse and nodded. "Sure, I can take a look, but there are some things even I don’t know."

Faer nodded in acknowledgment and said nothing more.

Daniel, seeing this, took the notes from Faer.

But when Daniel examined the contents of the notes, he was taken aback.

"Wait, isn’t Faer the God of Elements?" Daniel thought to himself. "Why is he researching curses and healing-related topics now? He didn’t seem interested in these areas before!"

Faer stayed in the castle for a full month.

During this month, he treated Daniel as his teacher.

The two of them had numerous discussions, both benefiting greatly from the exchange.

After resolving his questions, Faer planned to leave once more.

However, just before departing, he suddenly remembered something.

He rummaged through his bag and pulled out 10 Chaos Orbs.

"By the way, these are the Chaos Orbs Kartora asked me to bring back," Faer said.

Daniel glanced at the Chaos Orbs.

Using his Eye of Insight, he quickly realized that these orbs were materials for creating God Rank Skills.

Without revealing his intentions, Daniel subtly used the God of Thieves’ dagger to copy the orbs, placing the duplicates in his own bag.

"Faer, since these orbs are for Kartora, you should hand them over to her yourself. I’m sure she would love to see you again," Daniel suggested.

Faer nodded and agreed to deliver the orbs to Kartora personally.

But this time, the atmosphere during their meeting was different. It was no longer calm and pleasant; there was a sense of tension in the air.

"Kartora, here are the Chaos Orbs you asked for. Take care of yourself," Faer said.

Kartora nodded. "Thanks."

Noticing Kartora’s current state, Faer couldn’t help but continue. "I don’t think you should blame yourself for Laeve’s situation. It’s not anyone’s fault."

"Alright, I should leave now. Kartora, I’ll see you next time," Faer said, preparing to leave.

Kartora lightly nodded. Her eyes were devoid of emotion. "We’ll meet again if there’s a chance."

Two years later...

Kartora’s strength had reached the Fake God rank.

At this point, Daniel had been here for a full ten years!

Luna, who had once been a cute little girl, had now blossomed into a graceful young woman. She was already 18 years old.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye.

In the last five years, Daniel hadn’t merely watched from the sidelines.

He had made attempts of his own. He had even located Laeve’s whereabouts.

At present, Laeve was trapped within a place of inheritance.

However, her body had not yet been found.

Fortunately, Kartora had managed to recover Laeve’s divine position and had kept it safe by her side.

For Daniel, breaking the seal of the inheritance realm wasn’t particularly difficult.

He could easily use the Universal Gauntlet to unlock the seal.

However, the real difficulty lay in the fact that Laeve was still undergoing a trial.

As long as the trial was not over, Laeve’s soul would remain trapped there.

Daniel couldn’t enter the trial because he had never undergone the process to inherit a divine position.

That was why, despite spending five years trying, Daniel had been unable to free Laeve.

Daniel had even tried using Resurrection Magic to interrupt Laeve’s trial, but all his attempts had failed.

In this world, it was difficult for Daniel to improve his power.

After all, most of his strength came from the Star Upgrade Quest.

But the problem was that they were currently in a period 15,000 years ago, and the Star Upgrade Hall didn’t exist at that time.

However, simply increasing his power might not be the answer.

Unlocking God Rank Skills could be a promising alternative.
