Faced with the questioning of the elemental creatures, Daniel simply smiled faintly before turning his gaze toward the City of Elements and saying,

"My identity isn't important. I just need to use the ritual array left by Faer here."

"You must be dreaming!"

The angry elemental creatures could no longer suppress their emotions. Although they were Demigod-level, the elemental creatures had relatively simple thought processes. Therefore, without much consideration, they launched an attack on Daniel!

In the next moment, countless compressed elemental forces exploded around Daniel!

The terrifying power nearly caused the entire space to crack!

Milla never imagined that these foolish elemental creatures would actually dare to attack Daniel.

Wait, you Demigod-level amateurs, where did you get the guts from?

Milla couldn't understand why these foolish elemental creatures, who seemed so primitive, could have someone like Faer, the God of Elements, who was so wise. This was completely abnormal!

Daniel remained standing in place, not even making a move to counterattack, but instead, he looked at the elemental creatures with a faint smile.

Suddenly, an elemental shield enveloped Daniel.

The next moment, those elemental creatures that had attacked froze in place, their faces filled with disbelief.

Wait, this elemental shield isn't...

"Mihani, my lord, what brings you here?"

Next, a fireball fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a humanoid form.

The being, known as Mihani, didn't acknowledge the elemental creatures but instead, respectfully turned toward Daniel.

"Crossbridge, is that you?"

Daniel nodded. Although he didn't know much about Mihani, it was clear that Mihani recognized him.

Mihani then spoke up,

"Crossbridge, I represent the City of Elements, and we warmly welcome your arrival. There were some misunderstandings earlier, but I hope you don't mind."

"In fact, my teacher, Faer, has been waiting for the opportunity to meet you again. Unfortunately, he's been quite busy recently, as you know, the Exiled Lands aren't exactly stable."

"If you wish to meet him, you'll likely need to go to the Godfall Battlefield."

"However, if you simply wish to use the ritual array left by my teacher, please follow me."

Daniel nodded. He wasn't interested in dealing with the elemental creatures that had attacked him. In his eyes, they were nothing more than ants—there was no need to waste time with them.

The most urgent thing for Daniel now was to use Faer's ritual array as soon as possible.

He turned to Mihani and said,

"Lead the way. I'm in a hurry."

In the next moment, Mihani opened a portal and very respectfully invited Daniel into the City of Elements.

As Daniel's companion, Milla naturally entered the portal as well.

The portal immediately vanished behind them.

The elemental creatures that had just attacked were left frozen in place, watching the portal dissipate. They couldn't help but inhale sharply in disbelief.

"Wait a minute… did Mihani just call him 'Crossbridge'?"

"Oh my god, we actually attacked that person! This is unbelievable!"

"According to Faer's records, that person is the only one who ever left their name on the Fate Stone. We're lucky to have survived—truly blessed by the Luck Goddess!"

"Brothers, should we change how we treat outsiders from now on?"

"I think your suggestion is quite worth considering."

Daniel, however, wasn't concerned with these small incidents during his journey.

For him, the most important thing was Faer's ritual array.

Using it would make the process of completing the ritual much easier.

The next moment, under Mihani's guidance, Daniel and Milla entered the interior of the City of Elements.

Compared to the warmth and openness of the City of Luck, the first thing Daniel noticed about the City of Elements was the cold orderliness that permeated everything.

Although the city contained nearly all of the known elements, they did not form a chaotic mass. Instead, each element obeyed its own laws and structure.

Elemental creatures were everywhere in the City of Elements. These creatures lived lives that were extremely monotonous.

Daniel's mind power swept over the area, and he noticed that the elemental creatures' favorite activity was self-destruction, after which they would reassemble themselves.

This peculiar habit had led to the creation of numerous self-detonation clubs within the city.

Members of these clubs would compete to see whose self-destruction could be the most spectacular, with the winner receiving considerable wealth as a reward.

Mihani didn't stop Daniel from using his mind power and spoke as they walked,

"Crossbridge, as you can see, the creatures in our City of Elements have a peculiar obsession with self-destruction."

"Of course, this habit didn't exist from the beginning. In fact, you might find it absurd, but this is something that Faer left behind in his decrees."

Hearing this explanation, Daniel paused in surprise.

Faer, with his meticulous nature, had left something so simple and crude in his decrees?

Mihani seemed to sense Daniel's confusion and gave a helpless smile.

"Crossbridge, as you can see, most of the elemental creatures are quite simple-minded. You can think of them as not particularly intelligent."

"There is widespread pollution from the Ancient God Pantheon in Backworld. Faer has tried to teach the elemental creatures how to avoid this pollution, but the results have been less than successful."

Mihani paused for a moment, lowering his head slightly with a touch of awkwardness.

"For the elemental creatures, self-detonation does not result in death but rather an energy consumption. After detonating, they can reassemble themselves, although it takes time for the energy to regenerate."

"During this self-detonation process, the pollution from the Ancient God Pantheon dissipates along with the explosion."

Daniel couldn't help but show a curious expression.

Even someone as serious and intelligent as Faer had been unable to fully address the issue with the elemental creatures.

In the end, Faer had resorted to the idea of using self-detonation to solve the pollution problem.

It was clear that Faer had been left with few options by these creatures!

Daniel couldn't help but smile slightly.

He also noticed something else: in the City of Elements, god-level beings seemed to be very rare.

Most of the elemental creatures were still in their Awakener phase.
