With a look of disdain, Daniel pushed Isabella away from his side.

Sensing that Daniel had completely resisted her allure, Isabella's eyes flickered with a hint of disappointment.

"Little brother, you've indeed grown stronger," she said softly, her voice tinged with a playful tone. "It seems like I'm no longer as appealing to you now, huh?"

At this moment, Daniel, due to Mankind Protection 5, was able to immunize himself against the divine authority of Demigod Rank. Thus, even without the protection of a God Rank Skill, he no longer had to worry about Isabella's temptations.

In fact, although Daniel had not yet reached Demigod Rank, his strength and divine authority had already crossed into the threshold of Demigod Rank.

Daniel even had a faint feeling that when he used a God Rank Skill, he might be able to resist the influence of gods to a certain degree.

"Are you planning to make a move on me?" Daniel asked, looking at Isabella with an indifferent expression.

"No, little brother, how could you think that about me?" Isabella replied sweetly. "I'm completely devoted to you, you know that, right?"

"Besides, I'm very self-aware. If I wanted to charm you, at least I'd need some time to cast my skills, right? It would take at least ten minutes or so."

"But you, you cold-hearted guy, can lock me away in that pitch-black prison with just a single thought."

"Are you treating me like your personal toy?"

Daniel glanced at Isabella with a calm expression. While her tone was playful, there was a certain seriousness beneath it. She was indirectly revealing that she fully understood her current situation.

Seeing that Daniel didn't respond immediately, Isabella asked again, "So… little brother, are you going to lock me back in that dark, dreary prison?"

"No, not for now," Daniel shook his head, having no intention of locking Isabella up again.

After all, she no longer posed a major threat to him, so letting her stay out wasn't a problem. Moreover, the time corridor was indeed somewhat lonely.

Though most of Isabella's words were playful, she and Daniel were currently in an alliance, so he decided to release her temporarily and maintain a relatively friendly relationship between them.

With that, Daniel raised his hand and brought Soros into the time corridor. Meanwhile, Isabella, ever obedient, sealed Soros's divine authority completely.

At this moment, even though Soros was only a Demigod, or even if he possessed the power of a god, he would have no chance of breaking free.

Just then, Isabella suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, Soros mentioned something about the 'seed'. Do you think this seed has something to do with the Luck Goddess's plans?"

Daniel didn't respond immediately. Instead, he sent another clone into the Miracle Sands.

However, the clone's constant presence in the Miracle Sands felt somewhat wasteful, given its limited utility.

Just then, a brilliant idea flashed through Daniel's mind.

Since Miracle Sands was tied to space, could he use a space seed to contain it?

If that worked, he could simply reshape the space seed and turn it into an accessory, allowing the effects of the Miracle Sands to be continuously active.

This sudden inspiration was something Daniel had never considered before.

He couldn't shake the feeling that this idea had come to him due to a stroke of luck. His intuition told him that this method would work.

With that in mind, Daniel immediately summoned the space seed and transplanted the Miracle Sands into it.

Indeed, it worked!

Daniel transformed the space seed into the shape of a brooch and pinned it to his chest. Inside the brooch, he retained a space tunnel that allowed the Miracle Sands to continue working.

After completing this, Daniel checked his status panel and, sure enough, saw that his luck points had reached 12.

This meant that Daniel's idea had succeeded!

With everything in place, Daniel raised his head and looked toward the location where the ice shard had appeared earlier. His intuition told him that the location, not only related to the Ice of Possibility, also had some connection to the "seed" Soros had mentioned.

Could it be that the devotee sent by Luke was in trouble?

As Daniel thought this, he suddenly sensed a faint feeling of danger, a warning in his gut.

So... danger and opportunity coexist.

Meanwhile, Isabella, standing nearby, was quietly assessing her surroundings.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Backworld, right?" she mused. "I never thought I'd return here in this way."

"Little brother, does this mean I'm your forbidden fruit now?"

Daniel had long since learned to ignore Isabella's playful remarks. At this moment, his focus was on the mission at hand, and he flew toward the ice shard without hesitation.

Isabella, seeing his indifference, pouted her lips in a playful manner.

"Tch, little brother, you're still as cold as ever!"

Though she said this, she still chose to follow him closely.

In truth, Daniel's behavior wasn't meant to purposely be cold to Isabella. It was simply that, despite his increased strength, he still hadn't relaxed his vigilance toward her.

After all, the more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous she could be.

This was a lesson Daniel had learned long ago.

Just then, Isabella spoke up again, her voice filled with curiosity.

"Little brother, I've been meaning to ask you something—among all the gods, which one do you like the most?"

"Although the Luck Goddess has a better figure, it's obvious that Laeve is on a whole different level. If it were me, I think Luna would be a nice choice. She's so youthful and vibrant, like a young maiden."

"Oh, and what about Aurelia, that cold one? I think she's completely pretending! Ugh, she's like a white lotus, but deep down, she's probably a black lotus, right?"

"Daniel, if I help you unlock Aurelia's inner restraints, could you help me punish her? That wicked woman sealed me away for so long, and I need to get my revenge!"

"Oh, and by the way... Kartora, that guy, seems to have some special feelings for you. Can you tell me where you two stand? What's your relationship like?"

"Do you have plans to have a god child? I bet it'd be adorable!"

Isabella's teasing and questions continued, but Daniel merely continued to fly forward, his mind focused on the task at hand.
