Jia Xiu was now one hundred percent certain that this Daniel was a demigod.
Without needing Chi to explain, he could roughly guess what had happened. Daniel was probably cut from the same cloth as Justina.
An elderly demigod who had devoted himself to his pantheon for many years, only to find his original path of advancement blocked. None of the pantheon's divine seats were vacant; no matter how hard he worked, he could not ascend through the established means. So he could only rack his own brains for another way out.
Though the sample size was small—Jia Xiu had only met two demigods so far, Justina and Daniel before him—
They both had plenty of "drive."
Jia Xiu was not quite sure whether a demigod wanting to obtain complete divine authority counted as ambition. But if working hard to improve one's grades, striving for promotions and raises counted, then this probably did too.
Whether there was a way to help Daniel ascend could be set aside for now. Looking at it objectively—
Organizing and categorizing knowledge from other planes was nowhere near equivalent to a demigod gaining divine authority.
Jia Xiu glanced at the timid Daniel and realized that the tide had turned!
Now, the other party was the one asking for help.
With that in mind, Jia Xiu pulled over a chair. There was plenty to discuss.
He would see what the God of Writing and Depiction was willing to pay for a single opportunity.
At the very least, he had to get a second server for the laboratory. When the magic power Justina supplied was not enough, they could switch Daniel in. With magical experiments, there was never such a thing as too much magic power. No matter how much there was, it could all be used
