Reborn with Infinity Skill Points, I Enslaved All Universes

As Daniel gazed at his name on the Fate Stone, a faint instinctual feeling stirred within him—he seemed to have received some form of protection. However, aside from the vague sense of protection from fate itself, Daniel could feel that he had gained other benefits. Of course, he wasn't entirely sure what those benefits were, but the simple fact that they had been granted to him suggested they would not be bad things.

In the distant past, at the end of the river of time, Faer stood gazing at the desolate world before him, his brow furrowed slightly. At this point, he had already reached Demigod Rank, and after defeating countless powerful enemies, he had finally arrived at the end of time.

At that moment, Faer felt an inexplicable pull guiding him, as though fate itself was directing his path. He followed this mysterious guidance and flew in that direction. After half a month of flight, a massive Divine Temple appeared before him.

The moment Faer stepped into the temple, everything around him seemed to change. The sky and the empty surroundings vanished, replaced by a floor that seemed to envelop him from all sides. Faer's face broke into an excited smile upon seeing this.

"It seems I've found it at last. I am the first to reach the Temple of the Infinite Gods."

As he thought this, Faer walked toward the enormous faceless statue in the center of the temple. Apart from this statue, there were no smaller ones around. Following the ancient texts, Faer easily located the position of the Fate Stone.

He had long known the secret of the Fate Stone: by inscribing one's name on it, one could receive the protection of fate, an invisible force that could be relied upon. However, as Faer held the Fate Stone, he froze in place.

There, inscribed on the stone, was a familiar name—Daniel.

The Fate Stone was unique. Once a name was written on it, it would remain there forever, whether in the past, present, or future. Only one name could be inscribed on it, and no other could take its place.

Looking at this familiar name, a bittersweet smile spread across Faer's face. Although Daniel had introduced himself as Crossbridge when they first met, for someone as powerful as Faer, discovering his real name had never been a difficult task. From the very beginning, Faer had known that Daniel was Crossbridge.

Upon seeing Daniel's name on the Fate Stone, Faer's mood grew somewhat complicated. But this complicated feeling lasted only for a brief moment. The next moment, a sincere, joyful smile spread across his face.

"Lord Crossbridge, congratulations! To see your name once again fills me with excitement. Truly, one of the most profound existences in this world. Even now, I still remember the pleasure we shared when we exchanged ideas."

"It's a pity, though, that we never had the chance to test each other's strength."

Faer, now at the peak of Demigod Rank, had defeated countless powerful opponents in his journey, and his confidence was at an all-time high. But in the next moment, he raised his hand and gently placed it upon the Fate Stone.

"Lord Crossbridge, my old friend, I believe this might be our chance for a remote contest."

With those words, Faer began attempting to inscribe his own name on the Fate Stone. But as he did so, small statues began to emerge from the flat ground around him. If Daniel had been present at that moment, he would have been shocked to see that the enemies Faer was now facing were almost identical to the ones he had previously confronted.

The only difference was that the statues summoned by Faer were all entities at the peak of pre-upgrade strength. Moreover, standing before Faer, there was also the physical form of Daniel.

As twenty Demigods appeared, Faer instinctively felt an unprecedented pressure. Despite his immense confidence in his own strength, facing so many beings of the same rank left him feeling somewhat uneasy. Simultaneously, Faer's intuition screamed a violent warning!

It was a feeling of extreme danger!

This sensation relentlessly reminded him that the crisis before him was one he could not overcome. Most of the danger seemed to stem from the physical form of Daniel.

At that moment, Daniel's physical form fully coalesced.

This copy of Daniel, created by the Temple of the Infinite Gods, gave Faer a simple, casual glance, but the moment their eyes met, Faer felt as if his divine power was being halted.

What kind of oppressive force was this?

Faer swore that he had never experienced such an overwhelming sense of pressure in his entire life, not even when facing an actual god. The sensation was pure despair!

His body jolted instinctively, and he quickly regained his composure. Faer knew that the feelings he had just experienced were rooted in his intuition, but as a peak Demigod, he had an immense confidence in his instincts.

Without hesitation, Faer placed the Fate Stone back where it had been and abandoned the idea of inscribing his name on it.

As he did so, the statues that had emerged slowly began to dissipate, and the ground once again became smooth and even.

Seeing this, Faer's face broke into a bitter smile.

Since his birth, this was the first time he had chosen to surrender. The reason for his surrender, however, was not because of anyone else—but because of his old friend, Daniel.

"Lord Crossbridge, you've grown so strong. Tell me, what is your true limit?"

After leaving the Temple of the Infinite Gods, Daniel now understood something clearly. He finally grasped why the gods placed such importance on him. Perhaps the interactions they had with each other in the past weren't simply a matter of companionship, but were due to his uniqueness and the subtle influence of fate.

At present, Daniel's level was still 500, with no change in that regard. However, he had now gained the full authority of a Fake God.

When he glanced at his status panel, he saw that its contents had changed.

[Promotion Ceremony Requirement 2: Defeat all the marks left by the gods within the Temple of the Infinite Gods, and leave your own mark in the river of time. (Completed)]

[Upon completing this requirement, you will obtain the full Fake God divine power.]

However, when Daniel saw the word "Completed," a thoughtful expression crossed his face.

So, what exactly is the connection between the Fate Stone and the river of time? What does it all mean?
