In this situation, Daniel had no solution.
And, knowing Kartora as he did, he understood that once she made a decision, it was impossible to change it.
So, he didn’t hesitate and sent his final farewell.
"Goodbye, Kartora, and Karlbira."
"I believe that one day, in the future, we will meet again!"
"Then... we’ll meet in the future."
Kartora and Karlbira both looked at Daniel’s receding figure.
"See you in the future, Crossbridge."
Daniel’s figure had already drifted far from the River of Time.
His gaze turned toward the end of the temporal tunnel. If all went as planned, he should be able to return to the era where he originally existed.
After a period of travel, Daniel finally returned to the Godfall Battlefield of Backworld.
At last, he had time to truly use the God Rank Skill Scroll for [Infinity Possibility]!
Earlier, when the Ice Mountain had been chasing him, Daniel hadn’t had the chance to use it.
But now, with the time stream severed and the Ice Mountain temporarily trapped in the past, Daniel finally had time to attempt mastering [Infinity Possibility].
After preparing for a while, Daniel stood at the center of the magic circle and activated the [Infinity Possibility] God Rank Skill scroll.
The moment he did, he felt an entirely different sensation compared to his previous experiences with God Rank skills.
Daniel could clearly feel that his existence was now simultaneously positioned in countless timelines. Moreover, it felt as if he could, at any moment, travel between different timelines with a mere thought.
At the same time, his personal panel finally displayed the details of [Infinity Possibility]:
[Infinity Possibility]
Effect 1: You will be able to see different timelines and travel between them to gain unlimited power.
Effect 2: You will be able to open the Door of Possibility and travel within it, creating any possible timelines.
Upon reading these effects, Daniel didn’t exhibit his usual excitement. Instead, his face was marked with a deep sense of worry.
The power of [Infinity Possibility] was, without a doubt, overwhelming.
But the issue was that such a skill was not simply about increasing his own strength—it could also bring about catastrophic consequences!
After all, traveling through timelines meant that he would gradually lose himself.
When countless timelines overlapped, it would result in an infinite number of versions of "him".
Although Daniel’s mind power was strong enough to bear this burden, he had a nagging feeling that if he became too many "versions of himself," he might lose his true identity in the process.
So, from now on, he needed to exercise extreme caution whenever using [Infinity Possibility].
Daniel placed several patches in his mind, reinforcing his mental defenses, before he decided to experiment with the true power of [Infinity Possibility].
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from his current location and appeared in an empty, desolate land.
He raised his hand and used the [Infinity Possibility] God Rank Skill once more.
The next instant, Daniel felt everything around him as if it had been paused.
His body uncontrollably ascended, reaching the familiar River of Time. But just when Daniel thought he would stop, he was shocked to find that his ascent did not slow down. Instead, his speed increased!
It felt as though his very soul was being extracted, leaving him almost powerless.
As his body continued rising, Daniel sensed an unusual resistance above him.
Though the space above seemed to be nothingness, it felt as though he were rising through an elastic marsh.
Each ascent became harder and harder.
Daniel recognized this sensation.
It was similar to when he had broken through the fleshheart barrier, though back then the barrier’s power had been nowhere near this formidable.
The resistance was growing stronger, but his body continued to rise without hesitation.
Within a few seconds, Daniel felt an overwhelming pressure coming from all directions.
At that moment, just as he thought he couldn’t bear it any longer,
the pressure suddenly vanished, replaced by an unprecedented sense of comfort.
This sensation was so pleasant that Daniel almost became immersed in it.
But before he could indulge for too long, he snapped back to his senses.
And when he looked around, he was stunned by what he saw beneath him.
He had ascended to an extraordinary height.
Looking down at the ground, the original River of Time had completely disappeared.
In its place, a seemingly endless golden sea stretched out before him.
At this moment, Daniel’s strength had reached the Fake God level, and his perception was incredibly sharp.
He focused his mind power, sensing the vast golden sea.
However, the instant his mind power touched the golden sea, his face filled with shock.
Wait... this wasn’t a golden sea at all!
Daniel’s pupils constricted, and his body trembled slightly.
Through his mind power, he realized that what he had been seeing was not an ocean of gold, but countless time streams squeezed together in one place!
It seemed that each timeline was separated by a kind of barrier, which prevented them from interfering with each other, thus creating an illusion of separation.
But Daniel’s mind power could sense that the number of timelines was almost limitless.
Even with his mind power, he couldn’t cover the entire golden sea.
So this was [Infinity Possibility] in action!
A faint understanding dawned upon Daniel.
He now realized the true meaning of [Infinity Possibility].
At the same time, he had a gut feeling: from now on, he might be able to break free from the so-called fate.
Fate, as he understood it, was defined by a singular timeline where certain events were meant to happen. No matter which era you traveled to, these events couldn’t be changed.
But [Infinity Possibility] allowed him to change the rules, giving him the freedom to choose which timeline he wanted to enter.
The fate of one timeline had no bearing on the fate of another!
As Daniel processed this new revelation, another intuition struck him.
If he freely entered timelines, there was a risk of creating additional consciousnesses.
At that moment, Daniel sensed a familiar presence through his mind power.
Though he couldn’t see the other self, he could clearly perceive their presence.
It was... another version of himself from a different timeline!
