Daniel did not answer immediately.Instead, after a brief moment of thought, he carefully reviewed all the knowledge he had absorbed from the Royal Museum.Then he lifted his finger and began writing a long string of formulas upon the ground.
Seeing these formulas, the God of Elements, Faer, was first stunned—then his face lit up with unrestrained excitement.
"So it can actually work like this? Incredible!""I knew it—if my own theories were pushed further, it should be possible as well.""This world contains countless forms of elements, but in truth, these are merely different manifestations. Their cores are the same."
Faer knelt on the ground, continuing to scribble furiously, expanding upon Daniel’s formulas.Whenever he encountered something he could not fully understand, he would turn to Daniel with a question.
And whenever Faer asked, Daniel always responded with a gentle smile, offering an answer.At this stage, Faer’s questions were not particularly difficult for him.After all, Faer was not yet at god-level, and most of these questions could be resolved through the knowledge Daniel had learned from the Royal Museum.
Even so, Daniel was deeply aware of the terrifying depth of Faer’s theoretical foundation.He was only at demigod rank, yet the talent he displayed was astounding.Most crucially—Faer was attempting to break convention, seeking to transform elements in order to gain access to entirely new domains of power.
And shockingly, his attempts were already showing signs of success.Daniel even began to suspect that once Faer became the true God of Elements, he might have already mastered multiple domains beyond his own.
At that moment, both Daniel and Faer were wholly immersed in their exchange of ideas and solutions.Unknowingly, twenty-four hours passed.
Faer remained tireless, still studying the formulas that now sprawled across the entire forest floor.Daniel couldn’t help but look upon him with admiration.
Daniel had originally intended to offer Faer even more advanced theoretical knowledge, but Faer firmly shook his head.
For Faer, he already knew plenty of existing theories. What mattered was how they could serve the framework of his own self-created theories.As for Daniel’s deeper insights—Faer admitted that, for now, he could not integrate them into his own system.
Thus, though clearly tempted, he decisively refused.
"Daniel, my human friend, I know you possess vast knowledge.In truth, the knowledge you command far surpasses my imagination—I must admit, you are an extraordinary genius.But forgive me. I cannot accept too much at once. I need time for my own thinking process. After all, knowledge only becomes real once it is integrated with one’s own understanding, don’t you agree?"
Hearing these words, Daniel’s eyes shone with respect.From his perspective, Faer truly did possess qualities unlike anyone else.
Perhaps it was precisely this unique quality that allowed him, in the future, to succeed as the God of Elements.Even among gods, Faer was one of a kind.
He never bothered with schemes or intrigues—his sole pursuit was the truth of the elements.And such a person was all the more worthy of respect.
After several more days of intense thought, Faer finally rose to his feet.Exhaustion was etched upon his face, yet his eyes shone with frightening brilliance.
"I understand now. I finally understand.These theories do not truly conflict with my own deductions. I simply need to pay more attention to certain details.Daniel, I cannot wait any longer—I must take you to meet an old friend of mine."
Daniel smiled and nodded.He could clearly sense Faer’s pure heart.Faer carried no ulterior motives—his entire mind was occupied solely with matters of elemental law.
Almost instantly, Faer opened a portal before them.The portal was not formed from space-related energy or exotic elements—only from the most basic, common elements.And yet, the portal truly appeared.
This deepened Daniel’s admiration even further.Although Faer of this era was still somewhat weak, his grasp of elemental theory was already formidable.
After a moment’s consideration, Daniel decided to follow Faer and meet this so-called friend.Together, they stepped through the portal.
After a long passage of transmission, Daniel’s figure reappeared inside a castle.
The castle was not very large, but from inside to out, it radiated an air of nobility.
Daniel instinctively spread out his mind power, then couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Where had he arrived this time?This place... was far too unusual!
Using the Eye of Insight, Daniel immediately confirmed the identities within this castle:
Aurelia
Luck Goddess
Moon Goddess Luna
God of Life
Daniel could hardly believe it. In such an unassuming castle, more than half the future gods were gathered together!
Of course, none of them were yet true gods—they were, at best, only at the demigod rank.
At that moment, Faer spoke cheerfully.
"My friends, I have brought a new companion."
At his words, the future gods all turned their eyes upon Daniel.
"Well, well, who would have thought? Faer actually found a new friend."
As they spoke, these future gods began conversing with Daniel with surprising warmth.
Daniel quietly observed the scene—until suddenly, a silver-haired young girl stepped forward, extending her hand toward him.
"Hello. My name is Luna. May I know yours?"
This was, in fact, Daniel’s first time meeting the Moon Goddess Luna.She appeared slender and delicate, yet her beauty was striking.Her long silver hair especially radiated the glow of moonlight.
Daniel paused for a moment, then reached out his hand.
"Hello. My name is Crossbridge."
Luna smiled softly, then gestured toward a long table nearby.
"Since you are Faer’s friend, join us for dinner.Everyone, if you don’t mind, please make room for our new guest."
As she spoke, she pulled Daniel toward the table.
Dinner?
Daniel froze slightly.It had been so long since he needed food to sustain himself that he could barely recall the last time he ate.Perhaps it had been back during his Awakening Ceremony...?
Luna was gentle.She gave Daniel a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced before.Even though he was a newcomer to this place, under Luna’s quiet care he felt the soft warmth of moonlight.
