Chapter529-Temple of the Infinite Gods
Apart from Perfect Pantheon, the God of Knowledge had also given Daniel other pieces of knowledge. Among them, Daniel had now learned the location of Kartora. However, what surprised Daniel was that Kartora was currently trapped in the Exiled Lands!
Well…
The Exiled Lands were not unfamiliar to Daniel. If he wished, he could use the Tree of Faith to reach there in an instant. But according to the information provided by the God of Time, while Kartora was indeed in the Exiled Lands, it was not just any ordinary place of exile. She was trapped in a more secretive, hidden layer of space.
In this space, there existed a unique seal. It was said that this space was once used by the modern pantheon to seal the Ancient God Pantheon gods.
Though Daniel had not actually gone there, he could already imagine that rescuing Kartora from this location would not be an easy task. Of course, there was also the possibility that the God of Knowledge was deceiving him, so Daniel had to act with extra caution.
Nevertheless, Daniel did not believe that, with his current strength, he could attempt a rescue mission for Kartora. After all, the seal in that space was powerful enough to imprison gods. As a mere early-stage Fake God, his presence would be of no consequence.
Daniel thought about this and suddenly recalled the message Kartora had sent him long ago.
"Don't come looking for me."
Forget it, forget it!
Daniel shook his head. Even if he went now, he would only face unknown dangers. It might even be like the story of the gourd child rescuing the grandfather—he would be going to deliver his own head.
It was better to wait until he became stronger.
After all, from the perspective of real-time, only a few days had passed since he joined the Awakening Ceremony.
After some careful thought, Daniel decided not to dwell on Kartora's situation for the time being. Besides, since he had a strand of Kartora's hair, he could sense that her current state seemed relatively stable. Even if she had died, once his strength improved, he could use Revival to bring her back to life.
It was more logical and reasonable to wait than to rush to her side and risk death. After all, Daniel was, in essence, Kartora's only real hope.
So, there was no need to hurry. He had to take steady and cautious steps.
After all, a seal powerful enough to imprison even a demigod of the Time Domain would likely nullify his Time Stream. His opportunity would be limited to just one chance.
With that, Daniel clenched his fist and stepped into the Temple of the Infinite Gods.
As soon as he entered, Daniel felt the distinctiveness of this space.
It was a disordered space, unlike any other Daniel had encountered before. Apart from the massive statue located at the center of the space, Daniel was surrounded by an endless land that tightly enveloped him.
Can you imagine, when you look up, instead of seeing an endless sky, you see the absurdity of another city?
The waterfall above him flowed upward, defying gravity.
In this space, gravity didn't seem to follow the conventional rule of pulling things from top to bottom, but was instead scattered in various directions. Fortunately, with Daniel's current strength, he was able to ignore the effects of this gravity.
His body floated in mid-air. After a few breaths, he reached the giant statue in front of him.
What confused Daniel was why, despite the name Temple of the Infinite Gods, there was only a single statue. This didn't seem to make sense.
However, when Daniel truly approached the statue, he noticed something was amiss.
Centered around the statue, four massive stone slabs suddenly floated up from the ground. As these slabs moved closer together, a massive Divine Temple effortlessly appeared before Daniel.
Without any hesitation, Daniel stepped into the Divine Temple.
Once inside, the giant statue fully came into view.
What surprised Daniel was that, when he approached the statue, he was stunned to find that it had no face!
Yes, it was a faceless statue!
And as Daniel looked at it, the entire floor of the hall began to tremble.
In the next moment, countless small trumpet-shaped statues began emerging from the ground, growing at an observable speed like mushrooms after rain.
With Daniel's mind power covering the area, he easily identified the identities of these statues:
[Faer]
[Kartora]
[Luke]
[Laeve]
[Luna]
[Aurelia]
[——]
When Daniel saw the last line, his mind instinctively recalled the existence of Mist.
Clearly, the statue of the girl depicted here was the Mist he was familiar with. However, as soon as he looked away, he would once again forget about Mist's existence.
Upon seeing these statues, Daniel's expression showed his astonishment.
He hadn't expected that all these "old friends" had once been to this place.
Of course, there were not just these statues. Quite the opposite—more statues began emerging from the ground, centered around the giant faceless statue.
Among them, Daniel didn't recognize many. On the bases of some statues, unfamiliar names appeared.
So…
Did the existence of these statues mean that each one represented a god?
If that was the case, did it mean that gods knew much more than he had ever imagined?
So, was his task now to defeat these statues?
But how could he defeat them? Surely he couldn't just destroy them all?
While Daniel was pondering this, the scene in front of him suddenly changed dramatically.
The statues around him seemed to come to life!
They maintained their forms from the sculptures, but their actions had drastically changed.
In front of them, enemies they had previously fought against appeared, and they began engaging in battle with those enemies.
Daniel saw Aurelia battling Isabella, Luke grappling with ancient gods, and even Luna facing the scene of betrayal…
These vivid images left Daniel awestruck.
Though he had returned to the past before, he had never had the opportunity to witness such breathtaking scenes.
Many of these events were things Daniel himself had never known about.
"So this is what happened to them? So many shocking events!"
Daniel couldn't help but exclaim, while also seeing in the images some powerful enemies he had never encountered before!
