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."

"Since at that time I was already a god of the Hidden Domain, it shouldn't be difficult for me to hide myself completely, right?"

"So… could I please ask you to take me there?"

In fact, Daniel had never tried something like this before. He had previously sent people from the "modern" era back to the "past," such as Alice and Odin.

But he had never attempted to bring people from the past to the "modern" era.

Even Daniel himself wasn't sure what would happen if he took Mist to the future.

After thinking for a moment, Daniel decided to consult Kartora for advice.

In the next instant, one of his avatars appeared near the portal to this era.

This portal was visible only to Daniel, so he wasn't worried about others discovering its location.

However, when he arrived at the portal, he found that Kartora was nowhere to be found. She had not stayed there.

Realizing something was amiss, Daniel switched to his real form.

He took a step forward and entered the portal.

Yet, even in the time-space tunnel, Daniel still could not find Kartora. He had no idea where she had gone.

At that moment, a letter suddenly appeared before him.

Daniel instinctively opened the letter, and a neat line of text caught his eye.

"Lord Crossbridge, I sincerely apologize for leaving without a word once again."

"There are things I must do, but please trust that I will not make any more mistakes, and I hope you will trust your own decisions."

"This is the portal to the future I left behind. If you intend to leave, please continue forward."

Daniel tightly gripped the envelope and immediately began a Mental Deduction.

However, the result of the deduction wasn't entirely clear.

But Daniel had a vague sense of what might be going on, so he chose to trust Kartora's decision.

After all, according to the fate revealed by the Clock of Fate, Kartora had not died, which was enough for him.

He looked toward the distant end of the time-space tunnel and muttered to himself:

"Good luck, Kartora. I don't know what you're doing, but I believe you can do it."

After speaking those words, Daniel flashed and left the location, returning to the third layer of the Desire Abyss.

The entire process only took a few seconds.

Regardless, Daniel's plan was to find the core of desire first.

At this moment, the third layer of the Desire Abyss was already filled with monstrous creatures that had twisted flesh. However, what surprised Daniel was that these monsters emitted waves of divine power!

What did this mean? It meant that they were likely god rank, but not in the typical sense.

Rather than calling them god rank, it would be more accurate to say that they were monsters with divine power.

But how could monsters possess divine power?

Clearly, this didn't align with logic!

In both ancient and modern god systems, one had to obtain godhood to acquire divine power.

Yet these monsters showed no signs of having any godhood.

Instead of being god rank, they seemed more like monsters pieced together from the bodies of god-rank beings.

Daniel could sense that these monsters were continually emitting mental pollution. Of course, this pollution didn't affect Daniel, and he had also shielded Mist from its effects.

After a brief period of thought, Daniel decided to take a cautious approach and test the waters.

He casually waved his hand, found a wandering soul, and used Resurrection to bring it back to life.

In the next moment, a strong werewolf appeared in the third layer of the Desire Abyss.

Mist was surprised by the sudden appearance of the creature, but she wasn't overly shocked.

After all, given that it was happening with Lord Crossbridge, such events didn't seem that strange.

After all, Lord Crossbridge… could do anything!

The werewolf, upon being summoned, immediately bared its teeth at Daniel.

This werewolf was a fanatic follower of Aurelia, and it hated Daniel to the core.

Though it didn't understand why it was resurrected, it still angrily charged at Daniel, attacking him.

Despite its pitiful strength, only at the demigod level, it didn't care about its own life or death, almost as if it had gone mad!

However, this rage only lasted for a moment.

In the next instant, the previously solid ground beneath it became incredibly soft, as if it had sunk into a swamp.

No matter how fiercely the werewolf raged, its body was uncontrollably wrapped by the surrounding twisted flesh.

At the same time, its HP was rapidly depleting.

Within a few seconds, the werewolf's HP was reduced to nearly zero—almost dead.

But then, something changed.

The werewolf's body began to undergo a bizarre transformation. Dark energy emanated from it, and its body seemed to be boiling in a pot of oil!

Although it looked horribly disfigured, Daniel could see that its HP was rapidly recovering at a visible rate!

Moments later, the werewolf was completely healed and in peak condition, as if the earlier death threat had never existed!

However, through Eye of Insight, Daniel could clearly perceive the changes in the werewolf.

At this point, its abnormal state was reflected on his panel.

[Desire-corrupted Werewolf]

Indeed, the werewolf had been completely corrupted by desire.

Yet Daniel wasn't sure if the "desire" listed on the panel was the same kind of desire he understood.

And those black liquids continuously frying and rolling over the werewolf's body—was that what desire really was?

In this moment, even Daniel, with his vast experience, felt a chill down his spine.

The desire in the Desire Abyss felt somewhat terrifying!

Meanwhile, the werewolf, despite its body being consumed by the surrounding black oil, continued to howl in rage.

"Great Aurelia, I will forever praise you!"

"Seeing you, I feel like I am getting closer to you!"

"To be your follower is the greatest fortune of my life!"

As the werewolf howled, its body continued to take form, filled with the black liquid, completing its transformation.
