In the heart of the Lava Sea Ruins, Daniel's figure appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, he had already absorbed the entire Mental Plane into his spiritual world. Yet he did not merge it with the Land of Origin—instead, he created a separate, isolated space for it.

Such an enormous plane, now quietly resting within Daniel's mental domain, was a miracle that defied common sense.

He then left a clone of himself within the Mental Plane, tasked with guarding and observing it.

But Daniel hadn't forgotten about the former Emperor of Mind either. Out of respect and consideration, he deliberately constructed a new teleportation array for them.

"This portal can take you to the outside world,"

Daniel said calmly. "You are now free to go wherever you wish."

The former Emperor of Mind smiled softly and waved his hand dismissively.

"You have my gratitude, but the authority you gave me—it means nothing to me. What I truly pursue is freedom."

His tone carried a long-suppressed yearning.

"Perhaps it's hard for you to understand, but ever since the moment I was born, I've been confined within the Mental Plane. That sense of imprisonment… it's exhausting beyond words. Now, we each have what we wanted. Isn't that good enough?"

Daniel nodded solemnly.

"Indeed. Thank you—for everything. If I ever need your help, I'll reach out."

"Anytime," the former Emperor replied warmly. "If you ever call, I'll answer."

Without further hesitation, he turned and stepped into the teleportation gate. His figure vanished into the shimmering light.

Daniel's consciousness shifted once more—this time, to the Primordial Plane.

This was the Plane of the Stars, the birthplace of celestial entities.

Both Apollo, the original Sun, and Dark Star Jarvan, the current one, were born here.

Though Daniel had already released a significant number of stellars in the past, what he had touched was less than one-billionth of this vast realm.

This time, however, his purpose was clear.

He looked up at the endless expanse above—countless stellar beings glimmered like living jewels, each radiating majestic divine light.

It was breathtakingly beautiful… yet Daniel knew that behind this beauty lay eternal imprisonment.

It was time to act.

"Infinity Domain—unfold!"

As his voice rang out, Daniel waved his hand, and the Infinity Domain erupted outward at an unimaginable speed.

In an instant, it engulfed an entire region of the Primordial Plane. Even Daniel himself was stunned by the sheer scale of it.

His mind trembled slightly, and he muttered to himself,

"So… I've grown even stronger than I realized."

Within the range of the Infinity Domain, countless Hearts of Betrayal began to manifest—shimmering, ethereal cores born from Daniel's will.

In the blink of an eye, one appeared near every stellar. Before those beings could react, the Hearts of Betrayal had already entered their bodies.

"What just happened?!"

"Something invaded me—!"

"I can feel the aura of a Domain… Have we been pulled into someone's territory?"

"Is this being planning to destroy us?!"

Terror spread like wildfire through the sea of stars.

Billions of stellar entities panicked, convinced that their end had come.

And then—suddenly—the Domain dissipated.

The stars froze, bewildered.

They were alive.

Not only that—their bindings, the cosmic laws that had shackled them since their birth, were gone.

For the first time since the dawn of existence, the stellar beings were free.

They could even feel their essence rising, their power ascending beyond its former limits.

Then came the chorus of jubilation.

Brilliant light burst forth across the sky as billions of stellar entities shone in exultation, painting the Primordial Plane in radiant hues.

And then, a solemn voice echoed within every mind—calm, powerful, and absolute:

"Your freedom is granted by His Majesty Crossbridge."

"Worship the name of Crossbridge, and you shall possess eternal freedom."

It was Daniel's divine decree.

This act of liberation was not born from kindness—it was a calculated move.

Daniel needed their faith, their power, their souls aligned to his will. In the near future, he might require all of it.

Upon hearing the proclamation, the stellar beings did not hesitate. Freedom was the greatest treasure of all—what was belief compared to that?

One by one, their allegiance shifted. Their radiant hearts began to pulse with the power of faith directed toward Daniel.

As more and more stellar entities escaped the confines of the Primordial Plane, the influence of Daniel's [Myriad Worlds Mastery] upon this realm grew rapidly.

Of course, this was only the beginning—the portion he had liberated was but a droplet in a cosmic ocean.

Once again, Daniel teleported to another region of the Plane.

He unleashed the Infinity Domain anew.

The process repeated: countless Hearts of Betrayal formed, entered stellar bodies, and shattered the laws imprisoning them.

Then he opened gateways to the Backworld, guiding the newly freed stars to migrate there.

As time passed, the territory of freedom expanded.

It was daytime now—Dark Star Jarvan blazed in the heavens, radiating immense energy.

According to the natural order of the Primordial Plane, many lesser stars orbited near the Sun.

Those in proximity to Jarvan were too tightly bound by his gravity for Daniel to touch—for now, he could only target the outer regions, where the distant stellar beings dwelled in relative isolation.

Even so, the number of liberated stars was staggering.

The Faith Energy Daniel received swelled exponentially, layering upon itself in endless waves.

Before long, a divine notification resounded within his mind:

[Current Number of Followers: 10,000 trillion][Bonus Effect 1 – Blessing of the Infinite Divine Temple:]Your followers are protected by the Temple, granting them immunity to five attacks from opponents of equal level (cooldown: 24 hours).

[Bonus Effect 2 – Reward of the Infinite Divine Temple:]When your followers obtain loot, they receive the Temple's blessing—five additional copies of items with equivalent value.

[Bonus Effect 3 – Armament of the Infinite Divine Temple:]Your followers are no longer limited by their innate talents—they can learn any kind of skill without restriction.

Daniel exhaled slowly as divine light flickered across his eyes.

The number of his worshippers now stood in the quadrillions—and that was after liberating only a portion of the Primordial Plane. If he could set every stellar free, and convert them all into his faithful…

The potential was unfathomable.

An idea struck him like lightning.

"If I were to walk the Elder God path," he murmured, "would my power skyrocket instantly?"

The logic was sound. The so-called gods of the past—Luke, Aurelia, and the others—had followers only within the Land of Origin. Their worshippers were limited to mortals, a handful of races tied to one world.

But Daniel?

His believers spanned the Land of Origin, the Abyss, the Mental Plane, and now—through the liberation of the stars—the Primordial Plane itself.

His reach had already transcended the scale of any ordinary deity.

The Infinity Domain pulsed once more around him, its vastness like a breathing cosmos. Billions of freed stars shimmered across the Primordial Plane, their light reflecting Daniel's rising divinity.

He had not only broken the laws of the Plane—he had begun to reshape its order.

Soon, the very fabric of existence would echo his name.
