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

Indeed, with the God Realm's calamity looming,

no one knew when it would arrive.

Initially, the plan was to use the 5-Element God Realm

to draw in the beast clan's armies.

Once the beast clan occupied the 5-Element God Realm,

they would likely suffer severe losses.

After all, while the 5-Element God King

had only been a God King for less than ten thousand years,

his strength was far from weak.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able

to govern an entire God Realm on his own.

Even with the full force of the beast clan's God Kings,

defeating or killing the 5-Element God King

would require a significant effort.

The plan was to wait for both sides to exhaust each other

before stepping in to finish the job.

Rather than risking the beast clan invading during the calamity,

it was better to weaken them beforehand.

This way, the beast clan would no longer pose a threat

when the calamity struck.

However, none of the allied God Kings had anticipated

such a disastrous defeat for the beast clan.

The losses were catastrophic—

nearly costing the beast clan a God King.

This level of devastation was unimaginable.

According to their calculations,

even if the 5-Element God King was strong,

the most likely outcome would have been a stalemate,

with both beast clan God Kings safely retreating.

But now, from the serpent God King's furious words,

it was clear that another God King had appeared

in the 5-Element God Realm.

How could that be possible?

The existence of another God King in the 5-Element God Realm

was utterly baffling, particularly to the Giant Mountain God King,

who was the closest to the 5-Element God King

among those present.

Even he had never heard of the 5-Element God King

having a God King-level ally.

"Things have become more complicated.

We must unite and identify this additional God King,"

the Giant Mountain God King declared.

Failing to uncover this mystery could lead to unexpected surprises

at a critical moment.

Moreover, while they were allies,

each of their realms had only one God King.

If the beast clan God Kings decided to retaliate

and attack one of their realms directly,

the resulting war could drag them all into chaos.

Thus, it was imperative to investigate

the identity of the new God King in the 5-Element God Realm.

The Giant Mountain God King began contacting

the 5-Element God King.

At the 5-Element Temple

The 5-Element God King was reviewing reports

from agents sent to investigate other God Realms.

The 5-Element God Realm had suffered

a brutal invasion by the beast clan army.

What about the other God Realms?

The reports arrived,

and as the 5-Element God King read through them,

a cold smile appeared on his face.

Just as he had suspected.

The reports confirmed his suspicions:

of the seven God Realms in the south,

only his 5-Element God Realm had been attacked

by the beast clan army.

The other six God Realms showed no signs of conflict.

Not only had the southern beast clan

made no moves against those realms,

but they had concentrated all their efforts

on invading the 5-Element God Realm.

"Well, well! Fantastic!

So my 5-Element God Realm

is the only one attacked by the beast clan?

Do they really think I'm an idiot?"

The 5-Element God King's voice dripped with anger.

"Does this confirm that the other God Kings are involved?"

asked the Ink Sea God King.

"Almost certainly.

I've always suspected the beast clan wouldn't attack

without a good reason.

Now it's clear—

this was orchestrated!"

The 5-Element God King's tone was filled with resentment.

"If that's the case,

this could be very bad,"

the Ink Sea God King warned.

"If those six God Kings team up with the beast clan

to attack the 5-Element God Realm,

we won't stand a chance.

Escaping alive would be a miracle."

"If Daniel were here,

he wouldn't even care about these clowns,

but he's still in seclusion…"

The Ink Sea God King sighed.

"We'll just have to be cautious for now."

"Don't worry.

For now, they're still God Kings.

They wouldn't dare openly join forces with the beast clan

to attack my 5-Element God Realm."

"Don't jinx it!"

complained the elder from the Greenwood God Realm,

recalling past misfortunes.

Since he couldn't return to the Greenwood God Realm,

he had taken refuge at the 5-Element Temple.

Just then, the 5-Element God King received a communication request—

from the Giant Mountain God King.

"Speak of the devil.

They're already reaching out,"

the 5-Element God King muttered as he accepted the call.

The Giant Mountain God King's projection appeared.

"5-Elements, how have you been?"

"Me? I'm doing fine.

What about you, Giant Mountain Brother?

What have you been up to?"

"I just came out of seclusion.

We haven't spoken in a while…

I heard your realm was invaded by the beast clan.
Experience tales at empire

Do you need my help?"

"No need. My 5-Element God Realm is fine.

But you should be careful—

the beast clan targeted my realm this time.

Who's to say yours won't be next?"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while

before ending the call.

"You were way too confrontational.

He probably knows you've figured things out,"

the Ink Sea God King remarked.

"Let him know.

I'm done playing games with these fools.

It's time to settle this once and for all.

Right now, the priority is relocating people

from other areas into the 5-Element God Realm."

"Well said."

Meanwhile, with the Giant Mountain God King

After ending the call,

the Giant Mountain God King addressed the other God Kings:

"He knows. It's obvious.

Out of seven God Realms,

his is the only one attacked by the beast clan,

while we remain unscathed.

It's too blatant."

"What do we do now?"

"If subtlety won't work,

we move to Plan B,"

the Giant Mountain God King said coldly,

his words dripping with killing intent.

Plan B was simple:

join forces with the beast clan

to eliminate the 5-Element God King.

"But won't that put us at a disadvantage

against the beast clan later?"

"Doesn't matter.

Don't forget—

the 5-Element God King is strong.

Let those beast clan idiots take the brunt of the fight."

"One of their God Kings is already on the verge of death.

If given a chance for revenge,

they won't refuse,"

another God King added.

The group recalled the serpent God King's earlier fury,

its desire for revenge almost palpable.

They nodded in agreement.

The beast clan was likely desperate for vengeance,

and extending an olive branch now

would almost certainly secure their cooperation.

After all, the odds would be overwhelmingly in their favor—

six human God Kings and four beast clan God Kings.

With ten God Kings attacking together,

there was no way to lose.

"The plan is set.

Next, we ally with the beast clan

and eliminate the 5-Element God King!"

The Giant Mountain God King looked at the others.

They all voiced their agreement:

the 5-Element God King must die!
