All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

At the bottom of the frozen lake, the Dagon altar has been built.

Wang Zhifan examined it and immediately removed the ice source power he had applied, causing the lake water to return to a liquid state, submerging and covering the altar at the bottom of the lake.

This was a very necessary step. As aquatic species, Dagon's followers indicated that He liked to live in water, and the altar that would satisfy Him should naturally be placed in water.

"It's almost time to get started."

Watching the lake surface gradually calm down, Wang Zhifan activated the power of space and took out a large popsicle from the air. It was the priest of Dagon's family whom he had frozen and sealed in another space not long ago.

This guy was not actually dead. He was not a human being at all. Simple freezing could not kill him, not to mention that Wang Zhifan deliberately spared his life.

Just like he unfrozen the lake water just now, Wang Zhifan then unfrozen the ice on the man's body, allowing him to stand by the lake and open his eyes.

After regaining his freedom, this guy seemed quite calm. He looked at Wang Zhifan in front of him. He did not think of running away immediately. Instead, he glanced at the small lake beside him with a deep gaze and said:
"Who are you? Why are you building an altar to our Lord?"

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard it. He was originally planning to introduce what he had just built to this Dagon's relative, but he didn't expect that others would discover it directly, which was completely worthy of his true identity.

So he smiled and replied to the man in front of him:

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I want to talk to your master. This altar was built to facilitate contact with Him, so I hope you can help. If you cooperate, I promise not to hurt you."

"You mean... you want me to help you summon my Lord?"

The bearded man in black priest's robe opened his eyes wide when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"That's right. Is that odd?"

Wang Zhifan knew what he was thinking and responded immediately, but did not forget to add a reminder:
"But let me be clear, if you dare to play tricks, you will definitely die, and even your master can't save you."

"Ha ha……"

The man, who was actually a high-ranking follower of Dagon, burst into laughter when he heard it. No one knew what the laughter meant, but he acted quickly, turned around and walked towards the lake, his body submerged in the water.

Wang Zhifan then sent a clone to follow him and go to the bottom of the lake with him to monitor the situation closely.

In the lake, two figures moved one in front and one behind. Dagon's follower adapted to the water like a fish-man and moved slowly towards the altar. The closer he got to the altar, the more pious his expression became. Finally, he knelt down in front of the conical stone, ready to start praying.

Wang Zhifan's clone also stood behind him like a shadow, and the clone also acted as a medium to transmit the power from Wang Zhifan himself to Dagon's followers, releasing the insight skill to this guy.

"what have you done?!"

Suddenly feeling an external force invading their minds, Dagon's followers were shocked and raised terrified questioning voices.

Wang Zhifan responded immediately and mercilessly through his clone:
"Don't worry, I'm only doing this to supervise you. It won't cause you too much trouble. Just bear with it and it will pass."

However, Dagon's family did not appreciate his words and immediately said in a gloomy voice:

"Get out of my head! Otherwise I will never help you summon our Lord!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something sharp approaching his neck. It turned out that Wang Zhifan's clone condensed the Menghua Blade and placed it next to his head.

"Remember! You have no choice! Even if I kill you, I have a way to make your corpse do the same. At most it will waste a little time!"

Cold words then came from the clone's mouth, making Dagon's followers who wanted to appear tough feel so much pressure that they had to submit.

It’s not that he didn’t have the courage to resist, but after being frozen and thrown into a different dimension, he knew that he could not be a match for this strange human being. Resistance would only bring torture and death, and it was meaningless.

So under Wang Zhifan's coercion and supervision, this guy had to start praying and summon Dagon in front of the altar at the bottom of the lake.

"Great Lord! Your humble offspring begs you..."

During this period, Wang Zhifan used his insight skills to keep an eye on what the man was thinking in order to prevent him from trying to do anything bad.

But under the threat of death, this poor guy didn't have many distracting thoughts in his mind. He did have the idea of ​​asking Dagon to eliminate Wang Zhifan, but he didn't dare to maintain it for long, let alone put it into practice.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt the sharp blade piercing his skin beside his neck.

As Dagon's high-ranking relatives prayed in person, changes gradually occurred on the altar that had just been built. The inscriptions written in blood on the four stone pillars lit up one by one, emitting a scarlet glow, and the entire altar began to vibrate faintly, as if a powerful force was about to descend.

"It's almost done."

Wang Zhifan, who was standing on the lakeshore, sensed all of this and understood that the ancient god Dagon was about to project part of his will onto the altar at the bottom of the lake. His plan was about to achieve phased success, but this also meant that real danger was about to come, so he immediately became extremely alert.

Rumble!
In the next second, the calm lake suddenly turned into turbulent waves, and the altar at the bottom of the lake suddenly emitted a strange red light. A great will without any entity but with an extremely strong presence descended.

Wang Zhifan seized this moment and immediately froze Dagon's followers to prevent him from causing trouble. He then used his clone to speak respectfully to the great will that had descended from the bottom of the lake:
"Great ancient god! I admire your greatness immensely! I have a presumptuous request. I hope to be allowed to know your real name. I am willing to pay a price for this..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the air above the entire lake become extremely heavy, as if it had turned from gas to solid. This huge pressure instantly turned into a solid entity and pressed down, causing the entire lake to explode! Countless splashes of water splashed to the surrounding distance!

“That’s quite a big reaction.”

Wang Zhifan's clone at the bottom of the lake was instantly crushed by the pressure, but his original body used the power of space to protect it and was safe. So he turned to use his original body to continue expressing his prayers, hoping to get a positive response.

However, the will of the ancient god Dagon did not respond to him in any understandable way such as language, and He seemed to become even more angry.

Countless dark clouds suddenly appeared above the exploded lake, and some of them quickly gathered together to form a huge hand as big as a town!

The giant hand, with the terrifying pressure of destroying everything, grabbed Wang Zhifan's head like a giant hand reaching out to the human world from a god from outer space!

"It really doesn't work..."

Facing a destructive blow that ordinary humans could not understand, Wang Zhifan remained relatively calm. He decisively drew out the Green Emperor's Sword, stood on the ground, and slashed at the giant dark cloud hand in the sky!
This sword, combined with the power of time and space that he had cultivated so far, plus his ultimate sword skills and the effects of various equipment, was even more powerful than the giant hand that fell from the sky! Almost at the first sight, the giant hand was chopped from bottom to top and shattered! And the sky above was clear!
“Insight.”

While breaking the attack method created by the ancient god's will with one sword, Wang Zhifan also changed his strategy and directed the insight skill attached to the Thinker Necklace to the intangible ancient god's will, that is, he intended to forcibly obtain His real name from the ancient god!
This was undoubtedly a very risky behavior, but the ancient god refused to cooperate and attacked him without any discussion, and he had no better solution.

So, this may be the first time in this world that human consciousness attempts to invade the will of the ancient gods.

Wang Zhifan's spiritual attribute is currently as high as 527, far exceeding the level that humans can achieve. This is the basis for his courage to practice.

Although the will of the ancient god is only a part, its essence is terrifyingly high, and it is not at all inferior in the fight.

In the introduction to the Insight skill of the Thinker's Necklace, the person releasing the skill can only successfully invade the target's mind if his or her mental attribute is one hundred points higher than the target's.

Wang Zhifan had used this ability many times before, and each time it was smooth and seamless. But this time, he finally felt a strong resistance ahead, which successfully blocked his consciousness invasion.

And after the two sides' consciousness confronted each other, he found that the will of the ancient god began to dissipate, as if it had used up the power that had descended this time and wanted to withdraw.

"Don't leave in such a hurry! Go back in time!"

After discovering this, Wang Zhifan immediately wanted to use the power of the laws of time and space to keep the other party. He used all his strength and was unwilling to miss this rare opportunity.

But the nature of the ancient god's will was too high, and it was very difficult to use the power of laws to reverse the time and space to which He belonged. Wang Zhifan barely held on for a second before he felt greatly exhausted.

But he still persisted, and slashed with his sword again with all his strength.

Compared with the earth-shattering first strike, this second strike seemed very plain and simple, but its power was no less.

Because its power was manifested on another level, it brought into play the characteristic of the Green Emperor Sword that "nothing can be cut", and with its mysterious power it cut off the ancient god's will that was briefly held back.

In other words, Wang Zhifan used this knife to cut off the will of the ancient god that had originally descended as a whole, and forcibly left behind a part of it, holding it firmly.

A silent roar arose in the void at this moment. Wang Zhifan sensed the strong hatred of a certain existence. He was angry, unwilling, and wanted revenge, but facing Wang Zhifan, who was stronger than the one he had descended upon, he had to retreat quickly, otherwise Wang Zhifan would most likely seize the opportunity to chop him a few more times, causing him to suffer even greater losses.

"It should be OK now. My mental power cannot crush the will of the Ancient God as a whole, but it is definitely no problem to crush a small piece of it. Even if it doesn't work, I can continue to cut it into smaller pieces with the Green Emperor Knife."

After much effort to obtain a tiny part of the ancient god's will, or a fragment of the ancient god's will, Wang Zhifan quickly activated his insight skill on this similar conceptual existence and searched for the information he needed.

Just as he had imagined, this time he was able to successfully invade and began to spy on the secrets contained in the ancient gods' will.

For a moment, he was surrounded by countless fragmented information, most of which he could not understand. He only felt that violent, dark and deep forces were trying to infect him, but he himself was strong enough to block out all negative influences.

With great patience, Wang Zhifan spent the next hour or so analyzing the contents of the fragments of the ancient god's will, while at the same time being on guard against the ancient god's counterattack.

But whether it was because the altar had been destroyed and the ancient god was too far away from him, or because the ancient god had not yet awakened, the power of the ancient god did not descend again in the following time.

Finally, when Wang Zhifan patiently analyzed a fragment of information in the ancient god's will fragment that seemed lengthy and complicated to him, a copy clearance notification suddenly flashed before his eyes, which meant that the previous information contained the ancient god's real name.
