Daniel was not unfamiliar with the towering Elder Tree.
However, whether it matched his expectations exactly, or whether he should walk closer and carefully examine it, remained to be seen.
Even the Life Elder Tree or Fleshheart, when in different stages, exhibited entirely different appearances.
His judgment could not be fully confirmed until he approached it in person!
Daniel scratched his chin but did not rush into action. He wasn't sure how many layers the Desire Abyss had.
Moreover, he also sensed that both his and Mist's souls seemed to be cursed by some powerful being.
However, this curse felt unusual, as if it was layered with some kind of rule, making it seem very complex. Still, for Daniel, it wasn't a major issue.
Additionally, Daniel noticed a restriction on the third layer of the Desire Abyss. More precisely, flight was not allowed here.
Thus, Daniel could only carry Mist and explore the surroundings on foot.
But this was hardly an issue; after all, Daniel's speed was practically the same whether flying or walking.
What Daniel didn't like, however, was the feeling of being cursed.
It felt like having a fly buzzing around you—annoying but harmless. While it wouldn't bite, it could keep pestering you endlessly.
So the best solution would be either to kill the fly or avoid it entirely.
Without hesitation, Daniel chose to use the newly acquired Liberation Technique.
A flash of silver-white light swept over both Daniel and Mist, completely and thoroughly removing the curse from their souls.
On the other side, Mist had not initially noticed the curse.
It wasn't until Daniel used the Liberation Technique to dispel the curse deep within her soul that she realized she had been cursed.
This made her view Daniel in a new light.
If at first, she had simply thought of Lord Crossbridge as a powerful individual, now she realized that he was not only strong, but his abilities in other areas were just as impressive!
Moreover... from what she had observed so far, it seemed that there was nothing he couldn't do.
But... was Crossbridge truly omnipotent?
Now, Mist was utterly intrigued by Daniel. Everything that had happened to him so far had far exceeded her expectations.
From Mist's previous understanding, no matter how powerful a god was, their abilities were usually confined to their specific domain.
But Daniel's situation was clearly different.
He was strong in multiple domains and could wield divine power from different fields.
How was he doing it?
Filled with curiosity, Mist spent a moment in internal conflict before ultimately choosing the simplest approach: to ask directly.
"So… Lord Crossbridge, could you tell me, which domain does your godhood belong to?"
Until now, Daniel had never mentioned this.
But since Mist had asked, there seemed to be no need to hide anything.
Before answering, Daniel, ever the cautious awakener, first performed a Mental Deduction.
The result of the deduction was that even if he told Mist, there would be no problem.
After a brief silence, Daniel spoke calmly:
"I belong to the Infinity Domain."
"Infinity Domain??"
Mist was momentarily confused. In fact, she had studied various domains.
Not just Mist, but most demigods also researched different domains. The reasons were twofold: to choose allies and to document the weaknesses of enemies.
Mist considered herself knowledgeable about the various domains. Yet, the truth was, she had never heard of the Infinity Domain.
Daniel sensed Mist's intense curiosity and cleared his throat before speaking again:
"Although my domain is a bit special, you should be able to figure out part of it, right?"
Mist nodded and suddenly seemed to recall something, quickly asking:
"By the way, you still haven't told me if you've obtained a second godhood?"
This was also something Daniel had already considered in his earlier Mental Deduction.
So, without hesitation, Daniel answered directly:
"Yes, I have obtained it."
Mist nodded. Her judgment had been correct—according to the information Daniel had shared, only by obtaining two godhoods could one avoid the emergence of an inner god.
But there was still one thing she couldn't understand.
"Lord Crossbridge, according to the knowledge you've shared with me, dual godhoods can prevent the emergence of an inner god."
"But Aurelia clearly obtained dual godhoods, yet she was still corrupted by the inner god. And it seems like the situation is quite severe!"
This was a question Daniel also couldn't figure out.
From all the gods he had encountered, it seemed that Aurelia's corruption was the most severe.
Yet, Faer had helped her obtain the second godhood when she was still at the demigod rank.
So... why?
After thinking for a moment, Daniel still couldn't come to any conclusion. He sighed and said:
"Actually, I don't know either."
After all, Daniel had very little information about gods and inner gods.
The only thing he could confirm was that obtaining dual godhoods before reaching demigod rank did indeed prevent the appearance of an inner god.
Just then, Mist suddenly reached out a delicate finger and lightly tugged at Daniel's sleeve.
"Lord Crossbridge, could I also try to obtain a second godhood?"
Daniel glanced at Mist and nodded gently.
He had initially thought that Mist would ask for his help in obtaining a second godhood.
But to his surprise, Mist's eyes were sparkling as she looked at him expectantly and said:
"Lord Crossbridge, could you take me to your era?"
"I believe you must have the ability to travel through time and space!"
Upon hearing this, Daniel froze. He had never expected Mist's thinking to be so unconventional.
Did the second godhood hold no attraction for her?
Or was she just naturally this kind of person?
Daniel shook his head and decisively rejected her.
"Time and space have uniqueness. Two of you cannot exist in the same era, so it's not possible."
Mist merely smiled faintly at Daniel's words.
She seemed unbothered by his response and stared intently at him, asking:
"I think… Lord Crossbridge, you seem to have overlooked something."
