CHAPTER 521: CHAPTER521-SHIELDING THE ANCIENT GOD PANTHEON

Upon hearing that the so-called God of Knowledge in his mind could not see through his fate, Daniel felt a slight sense of relief.

However, this relaxation only lasted for a brief moment, as he knew all too well that any sense of relaxation could be exploited by the entity.

Yet the voice of the so-called God of Knowledge seemed unaware of Daniel’s subtle shift in emotions. It continued speaking as if nothing had changed.

"You are truly a unique person. Why can’t I see your past?"

"Did the future version of you do something that blocked all your experiences and information? Let me investigate..."

"No, wait, it’s not you. It’s Mist. That damn Mist always loves to hide things from me, never letting me see the whole picture."

"If I get the chance, I’ll make sure to tear that Mist apart."

"Oh, Daniel, you must know Mist, right? Haha, I’m just kidding. I know you two are friends. In fact, Mist and I are also good friends."

Daniel couldn’t help but think that this God of Knowledge might as well be called the God of Madness.

But it seemed as if the entity was completely oblivious to what Daniel thought, continuing to speak without concern for what was being said.

The God of Knowledge went on to talk about various other gods, including the Luck Goddess Luke, Aurelia, and even Faer.

But through it all, Daniel remained silent, offering no response.

Just as Daniel was processing this strange situation, the God of Knowledge’s voice suddenly paused.

Daniel thought, perhaps the entity had grown bored and decided to stop talking.

But then, the voice returned, this time carrying a more serious tone.

"By the way, Daniel, do you know a person named Kartora?"

"No, wait, I shouldn’t ask you. I believe you know her, after all, she’s also a very good friend of Mist."

"By the way, Kartora is trapped in this era. I’ve always wanted to save her, but I’m powerless to do so."

"Kartora needs your help. So, Daniel, are you going to save her?"

"I forgot to mention—right now, she is still a demigod, not yet a true god. If you can save her, she will instantly complete her ascension ritual and become a god of the Time Domain."

"I’d bet that you’re the only one in the world who can save her now. If you don’t, she’ll likely perish."

"Of course, to be honest, time isn’t that urgent. If you wait until you reach Fake God status, you can save her then. I can wait for you."

Daniel allowed most of his thoughts to drift into slumber, keeping just a sliver of consciousness.

This remaining awareness allowed him to process the situation more clearly.

It was evident that the God of Knowledge, who claimed to know everything, had no real power over him, nor could it force him to do anything using spell power.

It wasn’t hard to understand. If the entity truly had god-like abilities, there would be no need for it to engage in this endless chatter.

Still, the situation with Kartora did catch Daniel’s attention.

Given what he had experienced lately, it was very likely that Kartora was indeed in some sort of peril.

Of course, Daniel wouldn’t easily believe everything that the so-called God of Knowledge had said.

After all, it was still unclear whether the entity even truly existed.

But the God of Knowledge continued speaking in his mind, undeterred.

"Don’t hesitate any longer. Or are you planning to give up entirely?"

"Kartora, our poor friend, is she just being abandoned by you? Are you only looking out for yourself?"

"If that’s the case, you’re heartless. Have you forgotten your closest friend?"

"Wait, do you not believe the information I’ve given you?"

Daniel continued to remain silent, as if he hadn’t heard anything at all.

This was part of his plan from the start—stay in place for an entire day, and the task would be completed. Once that happened, he would advance to Fake God. His ultimate goal would have been achieved, and everything else could be ignored.

But the God of Knowledge did not seem willing to let Daniel off so easily.

"Stop being foolish. I know you can hear me."

"When you blocked your perception earlier, you took several steps toward me."

"Honestly, I enjoy how you willingly came closer. So I’ll reward you accordingly."

"Don’t you want to know how to remove the influence that the Ancient God Pantheon has on gods?"

"I’m sure your human race would desperately need this solution, right?"

"As a friend, I’ll directly give you the answer. You can try following my instructions to have your people integrate the Ancient God Pantheon’s divine positions."

"As the God of Knowledge, who knows all the secrets, I’m aware that your so-called modern pantheon of gods actually evolved from the Ancient God Pantheon."

"As for your infinite divine positions, they were inherited."

"Now I’m going to tell you about the nearly perfect inheritance ritual of the Ancient God Pantheon."

Although Daniel did not respond, his mind was forcibly filled with a wealth of knowledge.

One after another, intricate and complex magical rituals appeared in Daniel’s mind.

Despite his best efforts to block the information, the God of Knowledge immediately began flooding his mind with even more details.

Daniel could sense the danger in this situation. If he allowed this so-called God of Knowledge to continue pouring knowledge into his mind, it would be far too risky.

With that thought, Daniel didn’t hesitate. He immediately used Flashback to leave the Land of Twisted Minds and reappeared in the City of Luck.

Leaning back against a feathered sofa in the city lord’s palace, Daniel used Mental Deduction to begin simulating the complex magical arrays that filled his mind.

Mental Deduction, as a God Rank Skill, was extremely powerful. The world he simulated was as real as any tangible one.

When he tried to simulate something within it, it was almost as if it had actually occurred in real life.

Inside the world created by Mental Deduction,

Daniel followed the knowledge in his mind and started drawing out the intricate, arcane magical arrays.

Using the method taught by the God of Knowledge, he continuously manipulated them.

Finally, after considerable effort, in the world created by Mental Deduction, the first awakener from the human race to receive the Ancient God Pantheon’s divine position, without being affected, was born!
