Reborn with Infinity Skill Points, I Enslaved All Universes-Chapter 234 --Era of the Gods

Behind Daniel, the temporal passage still existed—

Though only he could see it.

After arriving 4,000 years in the past, Daniel’s first concern wasn’t surveying the surrounding environment.

Instead, he immediately checked whether his God Rank Skills could still function properly.

Most of his abilities were operational—

Except for one: Time Stream.

Daniel furrowed his brow involuntarily.

Time Stream was a skill designed to return to the past.

But now, Daniel himself was the past. He had already arrived 4,000 years ago.

So by its very logic, the skill was unusable—

You couldn’t return to the past from the past.

Fortunately, Flashback was still available—

And it was practically in full-map mode.

He could access nearly any location, from the world of the myriad races to even the Abyss and the Flesh Continent.

All things considered, his combat capacity hadn’t suffered significantly.

That much was reassuring.

Just as Daniel came to this conclusion, his Eye of Insight detected a familiar presence.

[First Human Emperor: Arthur]

However, Arthur’s current state was far from ideal.

Under the influence of the blood moon, Arthur had entered an intense manic state.

[First Human Emperor: Arthur]

[Level: 150]

[Current Status: Frenzied Corruption 99%]

Based on this stat panel, it was clear—

Arthur was on the verge of total madness.

Daniel moved instantly, appearing right in front of him, and activated Soul Defense.

In the blink of an eye, all the abnormal statuses afflicting Arthur dissipated.

His mind cleared, and rationality returned.

He looked at Daniel with confusion, dazed by what had just happened.

After a brief pause, realization dawned.

"Please... help us. Help the human race!" he cried.

Before Arthur could even finish speaking, Daniel once again unleashed Soul Defense, this time casting it in an area-of-effect format. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

In an instant, Soul Defense spread across half the plain.

And he wasn’t done yet.

Daniel summoned all his Spirits of Skills, each casting Soul Defense simultaneously.

Within moments, the protective skill’s influence had expanded again—enveloping vast swaths of land.

Thanks to Daniel’s intervention, countless living beings regained their sanity.

It seemed everything was turning for the better—

Until the sky’s blood moon suddenly opened its eye.

Thousands of secondary eyes emerged across its surface, each staring directly at Daniel.

In the next moment, all the active Soul Defense effects across the plain were interfered with—some disrupted entirely.

Simultaneously, Daniel felt a barrage of terrifying presences attempting to scan and lock onto him.

[You have blocked the detection of: Child of Darkness.]

[You have blocked the detection of: Abyssal Maw.]

[You have blocked the detection of: Moon Goddess Luna (Quasi-God Level).]

...

In a split second, the Mist—Daniel’s divine shielding—filtered out hundreds of detection attempts.

Thanks to the Mist’s powerful effect, none of these terrifying entities could pinpoint Daniel’s position.

But one thing became clear:

All of their attention was now squarely on him.

Daniel hesitated.

Should he continue casting Soul Defense?

After a moment of consideration, he chose to stop.

Even in his current state, he couldn’t be certain of victory against these monstrous entities.

More alarmingly, he had glimpsed a few familiar names among the ones trying to locate him...

Some of the so-called "old gods" were only at Quasi-God level during this era.

But Daniel knew well—

In time, these figures would become true gods.

What startled him most, however, was this:

The God Rank Skill he had released—Soul Defense—had actually been disrupted.

What kind of being had the power to interrupt a God Rank Skill?

Daniel had reason to suspect that it must have been someone immensely powerful.

After all, this was the era 4,000 years ago—also known as the Beginning of Chaos.

Back then, gods still walked the earth and protected mortals.

What Daniel hadn’t expected... was that gods literally lived on the continent in this age.

Still, now wasn’t the time to test his luck.

With Time Stream sealed and insufficient preparations on hand,

Should he run into a god who wielded control over time, things could go catastrophically wrong.

Daniel resolved to remain cautious. This wasn’t the moment to take reckless risks.

With that decision made, he began observing the effects of the Soul Defense he had cast earlier.

Though the skill hadn’t remained active for long, it had still affected a massive number of targets.

At least within his sensory range, nearly all partially corrupted beings had been purified.

However, for those already fully corrupted, even Soul Defense had no effect.

This outcome left Daniel deep in thought.

After a pause, he activated Flashback, transporting himself to the City of the Artists.

But this was the past—so the Artist City was still the stronghold of the gnomes.

However, Daniel quickly noticed that the gnomes had already succumbed to the influence of the blood moon.

They had gone completely mad.

He instinctively opened his inventory, intending to use the Primordial Core Weapon to destroy the area.

But to his surprise, it wasn’t there.

Only then did Daniel realize—

According to the laws of determinism, the same object could not exist in the same timeline twice.

Many of the Primordial Core Weapon’s raw materials had come from gods.

And right now, those gods were still alive.

Therefore, the weapon could not exist in this era.

More accurately—it wasn’t just unusable.

The Primordial Core Weapon could not even appear in this timeline.

Daniel himself didn’t belong to this era, which was why he could move freely.

But the same did not apply to the weapon.

He sighed in disappointment as he looked over the City of the Artists.

Without the Primordial Core Weapon, he had no way of wiping out the Artists completely.

Though the Artist faction had already begun splitting off from the gnomes,

there was no clear method to distinguish them from ordinary gnomes.

Even if he had the Primordial Core Weapon, it would result in massive collateral damage.

Daniel shook his head, turning his gaze toward the distant battlefield.

Why did the historical records never mention how terrifying the first millennium Apocalypse was?

According to human history, during the first Apocalypse, the myriad races were weak—

Clinging to life by depending on the gods they worshipped.

The human race had been on the verge of collapse,

until a mysterious figure appeared and reversed their fate.

Thanks to this person, humanity survived.

And yet, for some unknown reason...

The historical records never mentioned the presence of gods during that period.
