Chapter496-Desire Core
"By the way… do you remember what domain you awakened?"
Daniel glanced at Mist with a helpless expression.
Mist paused for a moment, and a strange expression appeared on her face.
Wait, she seemed to understand why these questions were being raised.
So… her domain had become the biggest obstacle to her fame?
At that moment, Mist suddenly noticed another key point.
"Wait a minute, why is there no information about Kartora in the future?"
"Didn't she become a god?"
"But with her talent, that shouldn't be possible!"
Daniel's face immediately became serious. However, this time, he did not respond to the question.
The truth was, even he himself had not fully figured this out yet.
For a while, the two of them were engulfed in silence.
After some time, Mist spoke again.
"By the way, what about Kartora? How is she doing now?"
Daniel thought for a moment, then spoke in a way that Mist could understand.
"The Kartora who brought me to this era is at the Fake God level. As for what she will become in the future, I'm not sure."
In this, he intentionally lied.
Through the Clock of Fate, Daniel already knew Kartora's destined fate.
However, this so-called "fate" was just one clue—it wasn't enough to completely determine Kartora's current state.
At that moment, Daniel suddenly thought of something. He quickly activated the Clock of Fate and began to examine Mist's fate.
But just as the [Fate] was about to manifest before his eyes,
a wave of Dark Mist surged, erasing all traces from his sight.
As a god of the Mist domain, Mist possessed special abilities. Like Kartora, she was the only one with such a domain.
Because of this, even Daniel was unable to truly discern Mist's fate. Not even God Rank Skills were omnipotent in this regard.
Moreover, Daniel had a suspicion: the reason the Clock of Fate failed might be because Mist, as a future god, had deliberately obscured her past.
As Daniel's understanding of gods deepened, he gained more information about them.
Once a being became a god, their power would no longer be confined to any specific era; they could influence any time period.
For Mist, hiding her past fate would be a simple act.
Daniel couldn't help but suspect that the future Mist had not yet died, and he might have even met her somewhere.
However, Daniel did not share these thoughts with Mist.
On the other hand, after her brief excitement, Mist quickly remembered something else important—the Desire Abyss before them.
"Based on everything you've said, this means that I shouldn't be in any life-threatening danger in Desire Abyss."
"According to the law of fate, I could practically dance in Desire Abyss, haha!"
Daniel was momentarily taken aback by Mist's words. He hadn't expected her to think like this.
At the same time, Daniel focused his mind power into the spiritual world.
Luna was still sleeping peacefully, her face looking quite adorable.
But this didn't stop him from responding to Mist.
"You make a good point; that's indeed in line with fate theory."
"But… I think you shouldn't get too reckless. After all, getting injured would still be quite unpleasant."
Daniel cleared his throat. He suddenly realized that whether it was Aurelia, Kartora, or Mist, these future gods were incredibly bold.
They all seemed to have strong personal opinions and were very headstrong. Perhaps this was one of the reasons they reached the god level.
Daniel rubbed his chin. Just then, his actions suddenly froze!
Wait a minute, Mist was really audacious!
She was actually thinking of stealing materials from demigods? Was she out of her mind?
Daniel had originally thought of Mist as a quiet girl. But now, it seemed like her calm demeanor was just a façade!
Mist, too, was a restless spirit.
Meanwhile, Mist, having learned about her future fate, completely let go of her worries. She took Daniel's hand and started walking toward the deeper parts of Desire Abyss.
"Let's go, let's go! Don't stand there. We'll head to the deepest part of Desire Abyss and find the Desire Core!"
"My wish is to become the strongest being in the world, surpassing those legendary gods and becoming the greatest existence, like the Supreme Will."
"By the way, what about you? What's your wish?"
"Me?"
Daniel was taken aback for a moment, but then a sudden unease rose in his heart.
He had high luck, so he trusted his intuition implicitly.
Feeling this bad premonition, Daniel instantly realized something was wrong.
This so-called Desire Core was probably not as simple as the rumors suggested.
Therefore, he needed to stay vigilant during the journey and not make any mistakes.
After all, fate theory didn't seem as useful to him as it had before. Because right now, he was part of both the "future" and the "past."
Daniel spoke up, warning Mist.
"Mist, Desire Abyss isn't as simple as you think, and the Desire Core isn't without its price."
"So I advise you to hold off on acting hastily and study the Desire Core first."
"Thanks for the warning, but I'm not as naive as you think!"
Mist flashed a youthful, innocent smile before continuing,
"I was just talking casually earlier. I wasn't serious."
"This world always follows the principle of equivalent exchange. If I want something, I'll have to pay the corresponding price, so I won't be that impulsive."
Daniel nodded in agreement, but his Psychic Perception caught a glimpse of Mist's true thoughts.
Mist's wish was to become the strongest in the world, just like the Supreme Will.
As for why she hadn't concealed her thoughts, Daniel wasn't sure.
But some things didn't need to be overthought. He would take things one step at a time.
Thinking this, Daniel said,
"Since that's the case, let's move forward now."
"I can carry you, my speed is much faster than yours."
"You're sure you want to carry me, not just hold onto me?" Mist teased, her eyes gleaming mischievously.
