[Final Ascension Quest of the Human Race]

[The Human Emperor shall offer their life as the price to grant the entire race a collective ascension.]

[The Human Emperor will be permanently bound to the Human Race and will lose all resurrection privileges.]

[Please confirm: Do you accept this quest?]

Daniel stared at the line of text that only he could see.

For a brief moment, his mind went completely blank.

He had never expected that the final ascension would demand such a condition—that it would require him to bind himself completely to the Human Race.

Was this… really considered a "quest"?

Yet from another perspective, this was perhaps the harshest trial of all.

Because this choice was not about strength, nor intelligence, nor strategy.

It was about meaning.

If humanity were wiped out, then what significance would it have for him to survive alone?

What value would eternal existence hold, if there were no one left to share it with?

Daniel did not hesitate.

He reached out—toward the unseen interface of fate—and chose to accept.

[Quest Complete.]

[Congratulations. The Human Race has officially ascended to a Sun Rank species.]

In the very next instant—

A will beyond description descended.

It did not belong to this battlefield.

It did not belong to any god.

It came from the deepest stratum of all spacetime—from the origin that defined the very concept of "humanity" itself.

It was ancient, vast, and absolute.

Knowledge Daniel's expression froze.

For the first time, the mockery and certainty etched into his face shattered.

He felt it.

A brand-new power—so immense that even he felt genuine dread—was being born out of nothingness.

"What… is this?"

He could not comprehend it.

This force lay entirely outside his calculations.

Kartora and the others sensed it as well.

They looked from Daniel to the surrounding space in shock.

The New Life domain they had opened was being permeated—rewritten—by something far greater, something that dwarfed even divine authority.

"Lord Crossbridge…" Kartora asked carefully.

"This power… what is it?"

Daniel did not answer.

Instead, he reached inward and summoned the Land of Origin, which he had long since stored within his spiritual world.

The moment it appeared—

A massive change swept across reality.

Across countless worlds, across endless planes—

Every human Awakener began to transform.

From this moment onward, the endpoint of the Human Race was no longer mortality.

It was godhood.

On the battlefield, under the stunned gazes of every god present—

Points of light began to appear.

At first, there were only hundreds.

Then thousands.

Then tens of thousands.

The lights multiplied rapidly, growing denser and brighter. In just a few breaths, their number surged from hundreds of thousands to millions—and continued to skyrocket at a terrifying pace.

Each point of light represented a human who had shattered their limits.

A human who had officially stepped into the realm of godhood.

Ten million.

The number of Human Gods surged past the ten-million threshold.

"This… this is impossible!"

Faer stared at the sea of divine light, his voice trembling.

"A single race producing more than ten million gods?! This violates the fundamental laws of the universe!"

At that moment, two familiar figures tore through the barriers of space and appeared directly before Daniel.

Divine flames of New Life burned upon them as well.

"Lord Daniel!"

Alice and Charlotte looked at the man before them, then threw themselves into his arms without hesitation.

"We succeeded! Under your guidance—we finally became gods!"

More and more human powerhouses arrived.

Those Awakeners who had once fought shoulder to shoulder with Daniel.

Every one of them had ascended.

The instant Daniel accepted the quest, all of humanity received this gift.

Daniel gently patted Alice on the back, then released them.

He turned and looked toward Knowledge Daniel, whose face had grown terrifyingly dark.

"And now," Daniel asked calmly,

"do you still think you've already won?"

Knowledge Daniel stared at him—then at the endless army behind him.

An army composed of tens of millions of gods, stretching beyond sight.

For the first time—

He felt fear.

Two hundred thousand Inner God-level clones were formidable.

But what were they, compared to tens of millions of gods whose numbers were still growing?

"Strongest Daniel…" Knowledge Daniel's voice turned hoarse.

"It seems I underestimated you after all."

"But do you really think this is enough to defeat me?"

"Do you think my trump cards end here?"

Daniel said nothing.

He merely raised his hand.

Behind him, tens of millions of Human Gods raised their weapons in unison.

Divine power converged into a torrent capable of shaking spacetime itself.

"Kill him."

For the Human Race, Daniel's command required no justification.

Their trust in him was absolute.

With a single order, they surged forward toward the two hundred thousand Knowledge Daniel clones.

The battlefield reversed once more.

This time—

It was a total massacre.

Knowledge Daniel panicked.

For the first time since his ascent, genuine panic surged within him.

He could kill a thousand.

Ten thousand.

Even a hundred thousand Human Gods.

But he could not kill them all.

The potential of the Human Race had been fully unleashed.

As long as Daniel lived—

As long as even one human survived—

New gods would continue to be born.

"Very well… very well!"

Knowledge Daniel suddenly burst into wild laughter, madness lacing every syllable.

"You've truly enraged me!"

"In that case—let everything arrive ahead of schedule!"

The moment his words fell—

Across innumerable worldlines, the Twisted Mindlands began to tremble violently.

Chains shattered.

Seals broke.

One after another, figures radiating pure knowledge tore themselves free from that vast mental prison.

Their targets were clear.

They ripped open space itself and descended upon the final battlefield.

They were—

The Gods of Knowledge from every worldline.

They looked at Knowledge Daniel.

And on each of their faces appeared the same rational smile.

"It is time," one God of Knowledge said calmly.

"Fuse," another echoed.

"Let us become the one true, singular Sovereign of Knowledge."

As the words fell, the Gods of Knowledge did not hesitate.

They transformed into streams of light and flew toward Knowledge Daniel, willingly merging into his form.

There was no devouring.

No resistance.

This was a union of consent.

With each God of Knowledge that fused with him, Knowledge Daniel's aura surged violently.

His power climbed at an incomprehensible speed, rapidly approaching a brand-new realm—

One that surpassed the Inner God level itself.

Daniel's expression finally changed.

This was beyond his expectations.

Only now did he realize—

This had never been Knowledge Daniel's plan alone.

This was a conspiracy woven by every God of Knowledge across all worldlines.

They had united long ago, using Knowledge Daniel as their vessel, patiently waiting for this ultimate convergence.

Just as Daniel prepared to face the final battle—

He noticed something strange.

Among the countless streams of light rushing toward Knowledge Daniel—

One figure suddenly stopped.

That figure was familiar.

It belonged to the Mind Worldline's God of Knowledge—

The same one Daniel had previously spoken with.

Unlike the others, he did not fly toward Knowledge Daniel.

Instead—

He turned.

And flew toward Daniel.
