The disturbance in the Backworld did not affect Faer's actions. He simply stepped forward and stabilized the formation in front of Daniel.

"Crossbridge, my old friend, I don't have much time. I need to ask you, where did you learn the knowledge you're using to construct this formation?"

Upon seeing Faer appear, Daniel immediately understood the true purpose of the God of Knowledge. But since he had already agreed to help, there was no turning back.

Daniel turned to Faer, who stood beside him.

He could sense the intense curiosity radiating from Faer. Without hesitation, Daniel spoke.

"I once ventured into the Place of Twisted Minds. There, I met a being who called itself the God of Knowledge. All this knowledge I've acquired comes from him."

Upon hearing this, Faer fell silent for a moment.

Given that the God of Knowledge resided in the Forbidden Lands, it was clear that this entity was an inner god.

However, Faer had never ventured into the Forbidden Lands. Time was too precious to him, and he hadn't had the luxury to explore those lands.

After a brief silence, Faer nodded.

"I see, now I understand."

"But what I'm more curious about is—what is the purpose of this formation ritual?"

In fact, Faer had already started to understand part of it, but he still wanted to hear Daniel's explanation.

Daniel, not intending to hide anything, answered directly.

"The purpose of this formation ritual is to summon the ancient god positions related to oneself."

"My plan is to step into the third pantheon."

"Of course, the concept of the third pantheon was also taught to me by the God of Knowledge. And through him, I also learned about Kartora's whereabouts. She seems to be trapped in the Land of Exile."

Faer fell deep into thought upon hearing this.

The communication between him and Daniel was highly efficient—everything was understood in an instant.

Yet even so, Daniel could feel the structure of the Backworld beginning to destabilize.

"Kartora?" Faer muttered, his expression turning strange.

"I never expected her to be in such a place."

"But I must admit, Kartora is in serious trouble. However, we don't have the time to save her. You must have noticed that the Backworld is collapsing."

"Time is of the essence. I'll help you complete the formation ritual first."

"I can sense that with your current power, it won't be easy to finish the ritual."

With that, Faer activated his divine power.

The next moment, an immense force surged through the entire auxiliary formation, and the elements of the entire City of Elements became active.

Daniel understood that Faer had little time to waste.

Without hesitation, he explained the details of the formation ritual to Faer.

As they worked together to build the formation, Faer did not idle but continued to communicate with Daniel.

"Crossbridge, you should understand my goal. The reason I want to become an inner god is because it's my life's pursuit. You should understand my obsession with the elements."

Daniel nodded in agreement.

"I understand. Your pursuit is the true essence of the elements."

Faer smiled and continued.

"Don't worry, as a scholar, I'm very rigorous. Before you truly grow, I won't choose to merge with the inner god."

"I plan to wait until you've grown strong enough. Even if I fail in merging and the inner god takes over all my consciousness, I believe you can easily deal with it, right?"

"Crossbridge, please forgive my selfishness. My pursuit of the true essence of the elements is even more important than my soul. So... I beg of you!"

As Faer spoke, he continued adjusting the auxiliary formation.

Given Faer's power, constructing the formation Daniel needed wasn't difficult at all. After all, Faer was a true god now.

As the formation began to take shape, the presence of a god spread throughout the City of Elements.

However, despite this, the collapse of the Backworld seemed to accelerate.

Daniel could feel the Backworld was like a lonely boat, struggling in a stormy sea, possibly on the verge of sinking.

But even so, Faer's gaze remained resolute.

As the formation ritual progressed, Faer continued to explain his understanding.

"Crossbridge Sovereign, based on my understanding, this formation needs the power of a god to succeed."

"I can assure you, only I can construct this formation in this world."

As Faer spoke, he added more materials into the formation.

At the same time, Faer asked,

"Crossbridge, you've already completed the Temple of the Infinite Gods trial, right?"

Daniel nodded, confirming the truth.

Faer laughed joyfully.

"I knew you'd manage it with your strength!"

"However, I have one question for you. Compared to the past, where do you stand now in terms of strength?"

Hearing this, Daniel couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

But he replied seriously,

"Honestly, your strength back then is much weaker than mine now."

"Well... I estimate it would take me half a minute to completely defeat you."

In fact, Daniel's words were very generous to Faer.

If Daniel went all out, Faer, even as a Fake God, would barely last two seconds.

Faer's face turned a little gloomy.

He had never imagined that Daniel had become this powerful!

However, Faer was now a god, so he quickly moved on and asked,

"Since that's the case, can you tell me, how strong is Atez?"

Daniel shook his head lightly.

"That kid is far too weak. He's even a huge distance from you back then."

"Of course, if you just look at him as a regular Fake God, he's pretty strong."

"If he doesn't step onto his own path, though..."

Daniel didn't finish his sentence, but Faer understood the unspoken meaning.

Faer didn't linger on the matter and instead asked,

"Given all this, how much time has passed since the Awakening Ceremony for you?"

Daniel hesitated for a moment, as he had spent more time in the past than he had realized.

"If we're talking about the present moment, it was just a few days ago."
