The Undead Lands had more than one entrance.
Daniel chose this particular one simply to be cautious.
After all, he didn’t know where the other portals might lead—what if he accidentally entered the territory of the Goddess of Gold and Silver’s race? Wouldn’t that an ga over for him?
He decided it was best to explore the other portals another ti, when it was safer.
Shaking off his wandering thoughts, Daniel focused on the task at hand—it was ti to synthesize a new God Rank Skill.
The main reason he had returned to the Myriad Races World was because most of the materials he needed were stored here.
When traveling to the Undead Lands, he couldn’t bring most of his inventory with him. Due to restrictions of the plane’s rules, Daniel had no way around this limitation. So, his only option was to co back here and complete the synthesis.
After carefully organizing the required materials, Daniel didn’t hesitate for a second. He initiated the synthesis.
With a burst of radiant brilliance, a new entry appeared in his skill interface—a brand-new God Rank Skill.
[Soul Defense]
Effect 1: This skill is passive. Upon learning it, the user becos completely immune to all soul-based attacks from True Gods and below.Effect 2: Each day, it can block up to four soul-based attacks from God-level entities.Effect 3: Soul Purification—the user gains the ability to purify other souls.
Reading through the description, Daniel squinted slightly, his expression contemplative.
Truth be told, he had been in desperate need of a reliable ans to defend against ntal power and soul attacks.
This God Rank Skill? It was indeed practical.
His previous [Purification] skill had long since beco obsolete.
When facing spiritual assaults from god-level or demigod-level enemies, Daniel always considered it one of his few vulnerabilities.
But from this mont onward, that would no longer be the case.
It was no exaggeration to say that Daniel had now beco a true expert in soul manipulation.
"Good stuff! Everything in the God Rank Skill Compendium really is amazing!" Daniel couldn’t help but sigh in appreciation.
Without wasting another mont, he turned his gaze toward another section of his materials.
It was ti to synthesize the second God Rank Skill!
Although the past few tis, the skills he synthesized were a bit lower-ranked in the catalog, they were still God Rank Skills.
No matter how low on the list they were, they were still miles ahead of anything ordinary awakeners could obtain.
Without hesitation, Daniel initiated another synthesis.
[Thunderous Synergy]
Effect: You can form a "Thunderous Synergy" with another awakener, sharing all of each other’s skills. When attacking the sa enemy together, the two of you will enter a joint attack mode.
Reading this description, Daniel felt reasonably satisfied.
Sure, the concept of "joint attack" seed a bit vague and abstract, and it didn’t sound all that useful at first glance.
But the more he thought about it, the more he realized—just the skill-sharing aspect alone was utterly broken!
Just imagine it: if soone were to share just a single one of Daniel’s skills, their power would skyrocket.
And yet, even with such a potent effect, Daniel himself didn’t find it particularly useful.
Why?
Because all of his clones already possessed all of his skills. And frankly, Daniel didn’t have any real friends. So for now, this skill didn’t seem all that impressive.
But soon enough, Daniel uncovered the true potential of [Thunderous Synergy].
While under the effect of this skill, the other person’s strength would scale to match Daniel’s.
Let that sink in.
It ant Daniel could, at any ti, create a powerful ally with strength close to his own!
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
And yet, as always, Daniel’s mind didn’t stop there. A bolder idea began to form.
What if he used [Thunderous Synergy] to link with an abyss creature summoned via Abyssal Summoning, and then the two of them fought in tandem?
And what if he then sacrificed this abyss creature, whose power had been elevated to match his own?
What kind of terrifying being would be summoned in its place?
Could it... possibly be an actual god?
If such a being really did appear, things would spiral completely out of control.
That thought alone was enough to make Daniel decide not to take the risk—for now.
...
anwhile, Daniel continued experinting with different applications of [Thunderous Synergy].
He tried syncing with clones, then with summoned thunder creatures, testing every scenario he could think of.
After a full round of experints, Daniel ca to a slightly frustrating conclusion.
Even though the skill was very powerful, it also ca with significant limitations.
For instance, even though he could summon a dozen clones at once, [Thunderous Synergy] only worked with two of them at a ti.
This limitation sharply reduced the potential of the skill in large-scale combat.
Still, despite that, the power of [Thunderous Synergy] was undeniable.
After spending nearly an hour testing the chanics, Daniel chose to rewind ti slightly—back to the mont right after the skill was synthesized.
Once everything was ready, Daniel walked slowly to the outside world. He raised his head to the sky and murmured aningfully,
"Looks like... the angels are about to descend. Aren’t you scared?"
...
Based on the information he’d gathered in recent cycles, Daniel had learned that the total destruction of the sky would begin one hour from now.
That ant ti was extrely limited.
He needed to save as many people as possible before the angels arrived.
...
Once again, Daniel set his clones to automatic mode.
This period wouldn’t see any major events. Most of the races would take this opportunity to rapidly increase their strength.
As for the smaller matters, Daniel assigned them to others using his authority.
Once he was done managing affairs in the Myriad Races World, Daniel returned to the Undead Lands.
Thankfully, his entry ticket could be used repeatedly.
He left his physical body under the care of his clone and sent his soul back into the Undead Lands.
The mont he arrived, he reappeared in the Cloud Mine.
He had marked its coordinates beforehand, so the teleportation was instant.
This location was also the closest place to the stellar above.
Daniel even suspected that this massive celestial body might be related to the Blood Moon sohow.
Could they both belong to the sa race—the Stellar Monsters?
But the Undead Lands only allowed souls to exist.
Did that an the stellar hovering above them was actually a dead Stellar Monster?
The real question was—did it still have consciousness?
After a mont of contemplation, Daniel chose to lift part of the fog and attempted to establish contact with the stellar.
The mont he released the fog, he felt a stream of ancient mind power connect with his consciousness.
That ancient presence... made Daniel feel as if the entity had existed for hundreds of millions of years.
It was as if... it had witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations.
