CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER319-A JOURNEY RESUMES

It seemed that with his current strength, defeating Fleshheart’s true form, HP Fleshheart, was still unrealistic.

With that thought, Daniel took one final deep glance at Fleshheart before immediately activating his God Rank Skill: Time Stream. In the blink of an eye, he was transported back to six seconds earlier.

At this moment, the Emperor of Mind had just uttered his last words.

"Five seconds from now, Enzo will have no choice but to act."

"Understood, thank you. If I need anything, I’ll let you know in advance."

Daniel was not expelled from the Mental Plane at this point. The Emperor of Mind nodded silently.

Then, as if struck by a sudden realization, Daniel spoke up again.

"By the way, do we need to sign a contract?"

Without hesitation, the Emperor of Mind shook his head.

"There’s no point in signing a contract. Such contracts have too many loopholes."

"And I trust that, as one who has earned the trust of the Three Gods, you will keep your word."

Daniel was taken aback.

"The Three Gods, you say..."

"Luck Goddess, Moon Goddess Luna, and Mist Goddess."

The Emperor of Mind continued, "Many years ago, Milla came here. It was from her that I first heard about this. She said there were things entrusted by certain gods to give to you."

Hearing this, Daniel began to piece things together in his mind.

"So, this is why you chose me?"

The Emperor of Mind nodded without hesitation.

"Having earned the trust of three gods, I believe you are capable of helping us. I have faith that you will find a way to break the bonds holding us in the Mental Plane."

...

In the end, with the Emperor of Mind’s help,

Daniel easily and comfortably exited the Mental Plane.

Leaving was not particularly difficult; after all, the Emperor of Mind could expel him at will.

Once Daniel exited the Mental Plane, Milla immediately appeared, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Lord Daniel, you’re finally out. How was it? Was the Mental Plane interesting?"

"By the way, you’re quite efficient. I thought you’d take longer to get out. After all, leaving the Mental Plane isn’t an easy feat."

Daniel smiled lightly and replied casually,

"It was good, indeed an interesting journey."

"But I do hope that next time, before you enter another plane, you’ll give me a warning about any potential risks."

Daniel wasn’t concerned about other things, but rather the time wasted in the Mental Plane. If too much time passed, it would have been a huge loss for him.

Milla nodded, then asked,

"So, where are we going next?"

"Have you considered the Exiled Plane?"

Hearing this, Daniel immediately shook his head.

"Not yet. It’s not the right time."

After all, Daniel still hadn’t figured out how to leave the Exiled Plane quickly. From previous experiences, he knew that Flashback wouldn’t work.

It couldn’t cross to the other side of the plane, and Daniel had an unsettling feeling that once inside the Exiled Plane, escaping would be extremely difficult unless Time Stream was used.

Milla, hearing Daniel’s words, could only nod helplessly.

"Alright, I guess I’ll just take you for a random walk then."

"If we’re lucky, we might encounter another plane entrance on Lava Island."

"We’ll visit the plane entrances I’ve been to before. Though they might have changed, or perhaps we’ll get lucky and find one."

Daniel nodded in agreement with the suggestion.

"Alright, let’s just wander around then."

With that, they casually approached a spatial rift and stepped into it.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared at the edge of Lava Island.

At the edge, the concentration of volcanic ash had noticeably decreased.

Milla summoned another portal, and Daniel followed her through.

As they entered the portal, one of Daniel’s avatars appeared on Lava Island, beginning its exploration of the island.

After leaving Lava Island, Milla consecutively opened dozens of portals. Within no time, they had crossed over tens of billions of kilometers.

As a demigod, Milla effortlessly carried out Daniel’s orders, opening portals one after another as if at his beck and call.

The two of them were using this unique method to travel through the Infinite Sea.

As they ventured deeper into the Infinite Sea, Daniel could increasingly sense a deep, powerful force hidden beneath the surface of the waters.

It no longer resembled the vibrant blue sea but had grown viscous and murky, much like a swamp—only with a deeper shade.

The surrounding environment became more oppressive, heavy with an eerie stillness.

...

Meanwhile,

At the Ancient Elf Ruins,

Alice and Ally had finally arrived.

There were no portals or Anygates here, so the two of them had to fly to reach the location.

After a long journey through the skies, they eventually arrived.

Alice looked around, her expression growing serious.

This was a highly important place within the elves.

Before this, even Alice had not known of its existence.

"I can’t believe this place exists! The legendary Ancient Elf Ruins... it’s real!"

Ally, however, didn’t seem surprised by Alice’s reaction.

"You don’t know much, do you? There are countless secrets hidden within the Origin Land."

"Even the most powerful gods cannot fully uncover all the secrets of the Origin Land."

As Ally said this, she seemed to recall something and flashed a strange smile.

"Actually, it’s quite amusing. Those powerful gods have tried everything to enter the Origin Land, but we—mere weaklings—are born here."

Just as they were talking, a towering figure descended from the sky—a figure that was clearly an Ancient Elf.

His appearance was somewhat similar to the elves but with distinct differences.

Ally smiled and introduced the newcomer to Alice.

"Let me introduce you. This is Tryndamere, the guardian of these ruins, and also an Ancient Elf."

Tryndamere looked at Alice and greeted her with the customary elf salute.

"It’s an honor to meet you, esteemed devotee of the Great Crossbridge."

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Now, I shall pass on to you the demigod rank divine position."

Alice nodded, not lowering her posture in the slightest despite the strength of Tryndamere.

If this had been her former self, she would have been cautious and careful around such a powerful being.

But now, as the devoted follower of Crossbridge, she stood with a quiet confidence.
