Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!

"Ahem, well… about that... maybe if we wait a little longer, we'll hear back,"

the 5-Element God King said awkwardly.

During this time, he had been trying to contact Daniel, sending countless messages.

But Daniel…

Hadn't responded at all.

For reasons he couldn't fathom.

This was why the 5-Element God King and the Grand Elder had been hiding and running for so long.

"I should've known better than to agree to your plan in the first place!"

The Grand Elder sighed.

Had he not agreed to the 5-Element God King's proposition,

He would still be the Grand Elder of the Greenwood God Realm,

Overseeing the realm's ascension process.

He might have even glimpsed secrets beyond the God King rank.

But now…

Everything had been ruined. Discover exclusive content at empire

He was stuck fleeing alongside this unreliable 5-Element God King.

"Alright, enough complaining.

We're almost out of the Greenwood God Realm.

Once we're out, unless the Greenwood God King himself comes for us, what's there to fear?"

Just as the 5-Element God King finished speaking,

A foreboding aura surged in the air.

A figure appeared in the sky,

Locking onto both the 5-Element God King and the Grand Elder.

The two immediately felt the weight of this presence.

"Damn it! You jinxed it! It's the God King!"

Sure enough,

The figure in the sky was the Greenwood God King!

And behind him were two God Sovereigns.

"Grand Elder! Surrender and come back with us quietly!

Otherwise, today will be your last!"

"You know the punishment for colluding with outsiders and leaking the secrets of our Greenwood God Realm!"

The two God Sovereigns declared.

At this moment, the 5-Element God King was panicking.

The Greenwood God King was an ancient God King,

Having held the position for tens of thousands of years.

In comparison, the 5-Element God King was no match for him.

"5-Element! Didn't you say you had someone powerful backing you?

Hurry up! Now's the time to show your worth!"

"This…"

The 5-Element God King tried contacting Daniel once more…

But there was no response.

Just like before,

Daniel didn't reply.

He began to suspect that Daniel was likely in some special place,

Unable to receive his messages.

Was this the end?

"Forget it. I knew you were unreliable!

Soon we'll have no choice but to break out on our own. Every man for himself!"

The Grand Elder sighed.

"I'm sorry. This is all my fault,"

The 5-Element God King admitted, embarrassed.

"It's fine. At least you have a lot of divine stones.

Just don't drag me down in the next life!"

As the Grand Elder finished speaking,

The two of them gathered their energy to its peak,

Preparing to face the encroaching forces of the Greenwood God Realm.

Their gazes turned sharp.

This time, if they couldn't break out, death was their only fate!

Just as they were about to make their move,

A teleportation magic array suddenly lit up beneath their feet.

"Someone is helping them! Attack! Don't let them escape!"

One of the God Sovereigns from the Greenwood God Realm shouted,

Launching an attack toward the pair.

At first, when the teleportation array lit up,

The 5-Element God King was stunned.

He couldn't tell if this was part of the enemy's plan.

But upon hearing the God Sovereign's shout, he realized—

Someone was indeed trying to save them.

Could it be…

They were about to escape this ordeal?

At that moment, the Greenwood God King let out a cold snort from the sky.

He struck toward the teleportation array where the two stood.

Did they think they could use a teleportation array to escape under his nose?

How bold!

Did no one think to ask the Greenwood God King for permission first?

The Greenwood God King's palm aimed to shatter the array,

Ensuring the two would remain trapped.

But just then,

Another palm emerged around the array,

Meeting the Greenwood God King's strike head-on.

The collision left both sides evenly matched,

Neither gaining the upper hand.

This brief clash bought enough time for the teleportation array to activate,

Enveloping the pair and whisking them away.

The Greenwood God King's face turned dark as iron.

He had never expected the one aiding the pair to possess strength equal to his own.

The clash had given them the time they needed to escape.

All the people around him knelt,

Not daring to lift their heads.

"Enough. Everyone return.

As for those two, I've remembered their auras.

If they dare to set foot in my Greenwood God Realm again,

I will kill them without mercy!"

The Greenwood God King spoke coldly before swiftly leaving.

And with that, the matter was over.

The Greenwood God King did not bother to trace the teleportation array.

With the calamity looming over the God Realm,

There was no need to invite unnecessary trouble.

His priority was to uncover the secrets of breaking through the God King rank during the ascension process.

It was a race against time.

He couldn't afford distractions.

For now, he would swallow this bitter pill.

But in the future…

He would settle the score!

The 5-Element God King and the Grand Elder were teleported into the 5-Element God Realm.

The two immediately became vigilant,

Unsure whether the one who had teleported them was friend or foe.

What were their intentions?

After all, the Grand Elder carried many secrets about world ascension.

"Don't worry, I'm not an enemy.

I've come under Lord Daniel's orders to find you,"

The Ink Sea God King said,

Noticing the extreme caution on their faces.

Upon hearing Daniel's name,

The 5-Element God King relaxed.

This must be an ally.

"I am the 5-Element God King. May I know your name?"

"You may call me Ink Sea.

Lord Daniel tasked me with locating you

And asking about the progress of the investigation he assigned to you.

If you're facing difficulties, I'm here to help!"

The Ink Sea God King had discovered the 5-Element God King's plight and used a reverse-summoning magic array to bring him over.

He had even blocked a strike from the Greenwood God King.

"By the way, where is Lord Daniel now?

Why haven't I been able to reach him?"

The 5-Element God King immediately asked, voicing his confusion.

For half a year, he had been unable to contact Daniel.

It seemed Daniel wasn't even aware he had tried.

Hearing this, the Ink Sea God King frowned.

He too had tried contacting Daniel several times recently,

But Daniel had not responded.

The Ink Sea God King had assumed Daniel was in seclusion and didn't think much of it.

But now, hearing the 5-Element God King's remarks, he realized the truth.

It wasn't that Daniel was in seclusion.

Daniel was likely in a place where the rules were chaotic,

Making communication impossible.

The Ink Sea God King explained:

"Lord Daniel is likely in a place with very chaotic rules,

Which is why he cannot receive our messages.

As for when he'll return, I don't know."

Hearing this, the 5-Element God King understood.

No wonder.

He had sent so many messages, yet Daniel hadn't replied even once.

So that was the reason.

But even without receiving his messages, Daniel had still sent someone to find him.

It seemed he had made the right choice in following Lord Daniel!

At that moment, the Ink Sea God King continued:

"Now that you're out of the Greenwood God Realm,

It's time to address the issues in the 5-Element God Realm."

The 5-Element God King looked puzzled.

"The 5-Element God Realm?

What's happening there?

I've been in the 5-Element God Realm for ten thousand years,

And nothing major has ever happened.

Surely nothing could've gone wrong in just the two months I've been away?"

The 5-Element God King also noticed something unusual.

He was indeed back in the 5-Element God Realm,

But something felt off.
