In the City of Luck,
The city, which had long been quiet, became unusually lively this day.
However, the native inhabitants living here were all in a state of confusion.
They simply could not understand what was so exciting about these humans.
It had only been a brief moment since they vanished, yet why did they seem so stirred up now?
So who could tell them what exactly had happened?
Soon, the natives noticed something suspicious about the humans.
Despite having only been gone for a few minutes, when they reappeared, their strength had become unusually formidable!
This inexplicable surge in power caught the attention of all the native inhabitants.
With the advice of many of the human awakeners, Odin even started considering whether he should hold a grand celebration.
Odin even personally sought out Daniel for this matter, but Daniel, uninterested, brushed it aside, for he had more important things to deal with.
Daniel extended his mind power across the entire City of Luck.
He had expected to make some discovery, but after scanning the area several times with his mind power, he found nothing.
Could it be that Mist had not left any information for him in the City of Luck?
According to their previous discussion, she should have left some clues for him.
Furrowing his brow, Daniel began using his Mental Deduction.
Though Mist had hidden her presence, he could still deduce a few things.
After all, Daniel had asked her to investigate the ruins.
The Backworld ruins were the most important part of these ruins.
So Mist would not have forgotten to leave him relevant clues.
Just as Daniel was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a change within his backpack space.
Reaching into the backpack, he pulled out the letter that Mist had left for him.
It had been this letter that informed him that before reaching Demigod Rank, he must obtain the second god position.
However, now the content of the letter had completely disappeared, leaving only a blank sheet of paper.
But to Daniel’s surprise, the content of the letter started to change right before his eyes.
The once blank paper began to reveal lines of text out of nowhere.
However, just like with his previous encounter, many parts of the content on this letter had been altered or erased, making it impossible to read clearly.
Daniel lowered his head and brought his eyes closer to the paper.
There, in crooked and messy handwriting, were a few lines of text:
[As for the matter you entrusted to me, I have already looked into it.]
[The ruins of Backworld, I still suggest you avoid them.]
[By the time you read this letter, I will have become a true god.]
[Yet even so, the danger posed by the Backworld ruins still leaves me in awe.]
[If you must enter, at least wait until you’ve reached Demigod Rank.]
[This is my advice to you.]
Upon seeing these words, Daniel couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile.
If it were possible, he would rather never set foot in those ruins.
The fact that even Mist, now a true god, was wary of them meant these ruins were likely terrifying beyond belief.
But now the problem was, without entering them, he would never reach the Fake God rank.
So for Daniel, there really was no other option.
Just then, the content of the letter began to change again.
[Lord Crossbridge, I do not know what you may have learned about Backworld by the time you read this letter.]
[However, I have some intelligence about Backworld that I must share with you.]
[What you call Backworld, you might consider it from another perspective: the entire world here is not naturally existent, but rather, it is the source of the Ancient God Pantheon.]
[After Luke and Aurelia became true gods, they have been continuously reinforcing the seal on Backworld to prevent it from invading the Land of Origin again.]
[The Land of Origin is incredibly important; if Backworld were to devour it, the consequences would be unimaginable.]
[But even with the seal, we still find that the gods of Backworld are continuously awakening.]
[There is one terrifying thing I must tell you. These gods of Backworld are actually occupying the bodies of ancient gods with their consciousness.]
[It feels almost like parasitism, except the host is dead, and the parasite controls the body.]
[The enemies we are facing now are these gods of Backworld.]
[Although their strength is not as great as ours, the number of inner gods awakening has been increasing recently.]
[According to our investigation, there is a method within the Land of Origin that can allow the parasite and the host to completely merge.]
[If they truly manage to merge, their power will double. If that happens, everything will be over.]
[Therefore, we have chosen to drive Backworld out of the Land of Origin, as that is the only way to prevent them from fully merging.]
[Although Faer and Aurelia have their own ideas, and our relationship with them is not harmonious, when it comes to Backworld, our goals align.]
[However, even so, it is merely a temporary solution, as the rate at which the inner gods are awakening continues to accelerate.]
[By the way, Aurelia’s goal is to completely devour the inner gods, absorb their abilities, and control their power.]
[But we all believe that if Aurelia proceeds with this plan, she will lose herself, and may even be replaced by the inner god.]
[It seems that Luke realized Aurelia’s intentions, but his persuasion had little effect.]
[In fact, we all wanted to stop Aurelia, but Faer’s thinking aligns with hers.]
[Even after becoming a god, Faer still feels that there is a broader, more brilliant path ahead of him.]
[But faced with this tempting path, Faer could not resist the temptation.]
[It was precisely because of these desires in his heart that Faer chose to follow Aurelia completely.]
[As for Kartora, I still have no news from him.]
After silently putting the letter away, Daniel couldn’t shake the feeling that what he was experiencing now was strangely familiar.
This was exactly how Mist had shared information with him before!
But now, with so much information coming all at once, Daniel needed to sort out his thoughts.
Just as Daniel was considering what to do next, the letter in his hand unexpectedly began to change again, this time in a surprising way.
"This is... a picture?!"
