The words of the God of Knowledge were an irresistible temptation for any living being. Even disregarding the psychological and ntal manipulation involved, what it was offering could easily drive any Awakener into madness. This was the perfect mastery over human nature.
As long as one still harbored a sense of greed, they would fall into its trap.
On the surface, Daniel remained completely unmoved, but inside, he was indeed stirred. However, he quickly regained his composure and reminded himself to stay true to his original resolve. No matter what the God of Knowledge said, he would treat it as if he had heard nothing at all.
Just as he was about to dismiss the thoughts, the voice of the God of Knowledge echoed in his mind once again.
"My friend, let tell you sothing interesting."
"Have you heard of the Origin God? That’s right, the Origin God is the existence with the highest divine power and supre authority within the Ancient God Pantheon."
"Let put it this way: the strongest beings in the Ancient God Pantheon are the Origin Gods. You think becoming a god in the Ancient God Pantheon allows you to dominate everything? In reality, they are nothing more than puppets with so autonomy."
"Oh, the Origin God of the Ti Domain seems to be connected to soone you know—Kartora. But of course, I can’t tell you the specifics."
"However, you’re fortunate, because there are no Origin Gods in the Infinity Domain. So, I can tell you that if you beco the Origin God of this domain, you will be one of the most powerful existences in the world."
Daniel didn’t respond to the words of the God of Knowledge, but the entity wasn’t discouraged. Instead, it kept talking, continuously pouring knowledge into Daniel’s mind.
"By the way, this ritual should be useful to you. All you need to do is perform the ritual to summon the corresponding Ancient God Pantheon deity for yourself."
As the God of Knowledge whispered in a tone that resembled a demon’s, Daniel’s mind was filled with information about the ritual. A vast amount of complex and obscure knowledge flooded in. Even for Daniel, so of this was difficult to grasp.
For a brief mont, he felt as if he had returned to the Royal Library of his past. The overwhelming amount of knowledge and information made him feel dizzy and overwheld.
However, the ritual the God of Knowledge provided, while incredibly powerful—capable of directly summoning a God’s position rather than requiring the search for relics—was still more complicated than anything Daniel had ever encountered. Even Faer’s rituals seed simple in comparison, like child’s play.
The ritual provided by the God of Knowledge was as complex as calculus.
Daniel still didn’t respond, but in his mind, he had already activated ntal Deduction, attempting to explore the effect of the ritual. Since it was a world deduction, all the necessary materials were already provided—no need for Daniel to prepare anything in the real world.
Monts later, the entire ritual was complete. As the ritual activated, Daniel was stunned to see an Ancient God with the position of the Infinity Domain materialize in front of him.
Of course, this Ancient God didn’t actually exist. It was rely a manifestation of the summoned deity’s position, but even so, Daniel couldn’t help but stare in awe.
He had long expected this, but when he actually saw it, the shock was still undeniable.
Before him stood a humanoid figure, its body seemingly made of void itself. Apart from its form, it remained completely still, as though it were bound in place.
"Kill it, and you can take its divine position," ca the voice of the God of Knowledge, once again filling Daniel’s mind.
Without thinking, Daniel raised his hand, preparing to summon Thunderfall. But suddenly, he jolted awake with a start.
He realized sothing—those words had not co from him. He had not spoken them voluntarily. They had slipped out uncontrollably.
Sothing was wrong. This was suspicious!
Daniel’s heart raced as he quickly took a step back.
With a snap, he opened his eyes wide, summoning a large number of God Rank Skills, ready to act at a mont’s notice.
However, the voice of the God of Knowledge echoed in his mind once again.
"What’s wrong? Why do you seem so nervous all of a sudden?"
"I told you, didn’t I? Have you tried it? Don’t be afraid, just kill it and take its divine position. Doing so will further enhance your power."
"Co on, aren’t you tempted?"
"Actually, even if you gained another Infinity Divine Position, that’s just the beginning. The real path to becoming a God is still far away."
"Just like Kartora, she acquired the divine position of the ancient Ti Domain. You can do the sa."
"However, I want to remind you of sothing. If you continue down this path step by step, your power will remain just like it is now. Although you’re extrely powerful in the Demigod stage, can you truly compete with other Demigods?"
"Of course, if you walk the path I’ve discovered—the third path to becoming a God, known only to —I can guarantee you that at the Fake God level, your strength will already rival that of a true God!"
"Through countless years of research, I’ve uncovered a secret. Both the Ancient God Pantheon and the modern pantheons have significant flaws. It is from these flaws that I created the Third Pantheon. I call it... the Perfect Pantheon!"
"Perfect Pantheon—what a perfect na! If you wish, you can step into it. And I can assure you, before you beco a God, it’s never too late."
"So, how about it? Aren’t you even a little tempted? All you need is to reach the Fake God level, and you’ll gain combat power on par with a true God."
"Now, let’s make a fair deal. These pieces of knowledge are known only to , and I think it’s only fair for you to pay a price for them, don’t you agree?"
Daniel furrowed his brows. He was growing increasingly suspicious of the true nature of this God of Knowledge. What kind of domain did it belong to?
Why did it seem more like a domain of temptation than knowledge?
This entity had a remarkable grasp of human nature. But the God of Knowledge would never have guessed that Daniel’s soul didn’t actually originate from this world. Despite the temptation, Daniel was still able to stay true to himself.
Daniel slowly rose to his feet, and his movent caused the God of Knowledge in his mind to react with great excitent.
"Quick, walk forward!" the voice urged.
