In the tranquil small lake, a layer of mist gradually spread across the surface, though it was unclear when it had appeared. After enjoying the peace for a while, Isabella finally spoke.

"So, you're also planning to search for the Desire Core, aren't you?"

Hearing this question, Daniel paused for a moment, then gently shook his head, his tone serious as he replied, "You might not believe this, but I'm not sure if the Desire Core is really what I'm looking for."

On the other side, Isabella wore a strange expression on her face. "Even with this uncertainty, you've managed to enter the fourth level of the Abyss? Are you really not lying to me?"

Daniel nodded and responded, "I came to the Desire Abyss to find something, but I'm not certain whether that thing has any connection to the Desire Core."

At the same time, Daniel activated the Clock of Fate to check Isabella's fate. However, he was caught off guard when it required reloading. He had already observed Isabella's fate before, so why would it need to be reloaded now?

While Daniel was puzzled, Isabella continued to ask, "So, what exactly are you looking for?"

"Actually, it's just a material."

"Oh, so you came here just to find materials?" Isabella nodded, not pressing for further details. After all, looking for materials was a very common task in the Land of Origin. Many would go to various corners of the world, either to gain power or earn generous rewards, so even the fourth layer of the Desire Abyss wasn't particularly surprising.

Although Daniel's answer seemed to clarify his purpose, it didn't reveal much. After all, there were countless precious materials in this world. Meanwhile, he shifted his gaze toward Isabella and asked, "What about you? What's your purpose in coming here? Or rather, what kind of wish are you planning to make?"

Isabella remained silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Perhaps you don't know, but for me, there's no real hope. Apart from my beauty, there's nothing particularly special about me."

"When I was chosen by the deity of the Beauty Domain, I had no say in my domain. I just ended up here. I feel like I can't go any further, so I want to make a wish and become a god."

Daniel was taken aback by this response, and almost at the same time, a new prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Destiny 1: Obtain the Desire Core and wish to become a god (not yet happened).]

Daniel had long used Eye of Insight to see through Isabella's hidden cards, and he could tell that her current domain was of little use, especially in combat—it was practically useless. As the God of the Beauty Domain, Isabella didn't really need to fight, since normal enemies wouldn't dare harm her.

However, Isabella gave Daniel a very strange feeling. She felt entirely different from the Isabella he knew. Her personality and domain didn't match up at all.

Curious, Daniel asked, "By the way, do you have any siblings?"

"My parents only had me." Isabella's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but she still replied firmly.

Daniel was slightly stunned. This didn't match what the Isabella he knew had told him. Instinctively, he used Psychic Perception to see if Isabella was lying, but the feedback told him that she was not.

So, was it possible that there were two Isabellas in this world? They looked the same, yet they were entirely independent from each other? But this possibility seemed too slim to believe.

Isabella, however, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Do you know another version of me, or maybe another girl who looks like me?"

She smiled sweetly, her gaze locked on Daniel. Daniel didn't shy away from her eyes, meeting her gaze directly. He had to admit, Isabella was indeed very beautiful. Her beauty gave him the feeling that it was entirely natural, and it was an entirely different kind of beauty from the one the later Isabella had. Daniel didn't feel worried about being entranced by her beauty at all.

After a moment of silence, Daniel smiled and answered, "Honestly, I think you're even more beautiful. But the difference between you two isn't that large."

"So, you mean she and I are only slightly different?" Isabella's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but her smile became even brighter.

"If that's the case, then she must also be quite beautiful."

"But you've asked me so many questions, and you haven't told me your name yet," she continued.

This time, Daniel didn't hesitate. He answered straightforwardly, "You can call me Crossbridge."

In all the past eras, Daniel had always used "Crossbridge" as his name, and he introduced himself with this name every time.

Isabella nodded. "So your name is Crossbridge? Although I haven't heard of you before, I can feel that you must be quite powerful. Even among demigods, you should be one of the stronger ones. After all, it's rare for demigods to come this far."

"I don't know if you've noticed, but it seems that in recent years, there are more and more demigods. Their ascension rituals seem to be getting easier."

"Many demigods who don't look special can complete their ascension rituals with ease. I suspect that the rules of this world have changed, but I have no proof."

"Of course, this is just based on my personal observations. In fact, I haven't been a demigod for a long time, so I didn't pay much attention to this."

At the same time, a second destiny for Isabella appeared before Daniel.

[Destiny 2: Hunt the Angel of Gold and Silver tribe.]

Seeing this, Daniel couldn't help but gasp. He hadn't expected that the seemingly delicate and weak girl in front of him would actually be so ruthless. The Angel of Gold and Silver tribe was Aurelia's race. Was she clearly intending to go against Aurelia?

No wonder the later Aurelia sealed her away for so many years.

At that moment, Isabella suddenly asked, "By the way, you still haven't told me where that girl went earlier. Were you afraid she would see you and that you were attracted to me?"
