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

The Greenwood God King was deeply puzzled.

He couldn't understand why Daniel was investing so much effort into something so thankless.

If the Apocalypse arrived, wouldn't all this effort go to waste?

So, the Greenwood God King asked, confused:

"My lord, if the Apocalypse does come, wouldn't all this be for nothing?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Daniel replied.

"Understood!"

At that moment, the Five-Element God King seemed to have a thought, muttering to himself:

"Gold Board… Apocalypse… Gold Board…"

Daniel glanced at him, unsure of what the Five-Element God King was muttering about this time.

The Greenwood God King, however, let out a curious sound.

"Hm? Has the Five-Element God King interacted with a rank-beyond-God King before?"

Hearing this, Daniel recalled the warning left by a rank-beyond-God King for the Five-Element God King.

But it was merely a voice transmission, with no further action.

Was the Five-Element God King's current strange behavior related to that transmission?

Daniel looked at the Greenwood God King, waiting for an explanation.

The Greenwood God King explained:

"This might be due to the influence of that rank-beyond-God King's power. When you displayed strength beyond the God King rank earlier, it might have triggered some sort of mechanism."

Daniel recalled the warning from the mysterious rank-beyond-God King, advising him not to use strength beyond the God King rank, as it could lead to a backlash.

However, Daniel himself hadn't experienced any backlash.

Instead, the Five-Element God King seemed to have been affected by the voice transmission.

Unlucky guy, Daniel thought.

Daniel decided to eliminate the source of the problem, using his mind power to destroy the mental imprint left by the rank-beyond-God King.

The Five-Element God King promptly fainted.

A short while later, he woke up again, unharmed.

"Huh? What just happened? I think I passed out?"

"You're fine. Don't worry about it," Daniel said.

"Oh."

"By the way, those words you were muttering earlier—Gold Board, Apocalypse—do you know what they mean?" Daniel asked.

The Greenwood God King quickly answered:

"I do. The so-called Gold Board is said to be a relic passed down from the Divine Dynasty."

Really? Does everything have to be tied to the Divine Dynasty?

If it was so powerful, how did it end up destroyed?

Daniel couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.

The Divine Dynasty had even predicted the Apocalypse and devised methods to survive it. So how had it failed to foresee its own demise?

"The Gold Board is said to contain power capable of resisting the Apocalypse.

"But only individuals under 100 years old can make it onto the board.

"As a result, factions across the God Realm are actively seeking young prodigies under 100 years old," the Greenwood God King explained.

Hearing this, Daniel turned to look at the Five-Element God King.

So, this guy had no idea what it all meant and was just parroting what he'd heard.

"What about the Greenwood God Realm? How are you doing in this regard?"

"For now, we have one God King with mediocre standing. Based on the rankings of the Gold Board… they likely wouldn't even place.

"I plan to cast a wider net and hope to find stronger prodigies before the Apocalypse arrives," the Greenwood God King replied.

Hearing this, Daniel glanced at the Five-Element God King again.

The disparity between the Five-Element God Realm and the Greenwood God Realm was glaring.

The Five-Element God King kept his head down, too embarrassed to speak.

Clearly, he had been outclassed.

"Alright. Keep a close watch on the teleport array and ensure there are no oversights. Also, if you find anything similar to the Fruits of Rule, contact me directly—I have plenty of divine crystals," Daniel said.

He shared his communication method, and the two added each other as contacts.

"You can count on me," the Greenwood God King assured him.

At the Ultimate Beast Arena, no one dared move.

After the Five-Element God King had called for the Greenwood God King to come out, the crowd realized that at least one rank-beyond-God King was here to settle a score with the Greenwood God King.

And that individual was terrifyingly powerful.

Even when outnumbered three to one, they showed no signs of struggle.

Now…

It seemed like trouble was brewing for the Greenwood Temple.

And then there was the white Beast Clan God King who had been in the arena earlier.

Not someone to be trifled with.

The crowd had originally come to enjoy the beast battles.

The fact that the Beast Clan God King hadn't killed them outright was already a testament to their good temper.

Who would dare flee now?

No one wanted to risk being the bird that stuck out and got shot down.

"Do you think the Five-Element God King will be alright? I heard the Greenwood God King is quite powerful and nearly killed him before," Cyr said worriedly.

"Hahaha, no need to worry! Everything will be fine! My dad… er… the Greenwood God King is nothing to him!" Big White exclaimed.

"Really?"

"Of course! Even if the entire God Realm falls apart, my dad will be fine!"

"Alright, stop bragging. Things here are settled," Daniel's voice came from behind them.

"Dad!" Big White rushed over to him.

Daniel stopped Big White with one hand and turned to Cyr.

"I heard from Big White that your Spirit Beast Sect plans to relocate entirely to the Five-Element God Realm. Is that true?"

Cyr nodded quickly.

"I see…" Daniel looked around and noticed that everyone's attention was focused on him.

The sight of someone restraining a terrifying Beast Clan God King had stunned the entire arena.

What kind of person was this man?

The entire Ultimate Beast Arena was abuzz with curiosity, making Daniel feel a bit awkward. He turned to Cyr and said:

"This isn't the right place to discuss things. Let's find somewhere more private."

With that, he disappeared, taking Cyr, Yorton, and the others with him.

Moments after Daniel left, the Greenwood Temple finally sent people to handle the aftermath.

In a private room at an inn, Cyr and Yorton sat with Daniel's group.

Cyr began explaining the Spirit Beast Sect.

The Spirit Beast Sect was a faction centered around spirit beasts.

Their combat, rank advancement, and day-to-day life were all closely tied to spirit beasts.

For them, spirit beasts were their closest companions.

Many similar factions existed across various god realms.

Initially, the Spirit Beast Sect's position had been unremarkable.

However, when the Beast Clan began its invasion, the sect found itself in an awkward situation.

After all, spirit beasts were still beasts.

This led to them being distrusted by both humans and the Beast Clan.

Thankfully, the Five-Element God King had held strong, repelling the Beast Clan's invasion and giving the sect some breathing room.

Meanwhile, the Greenwood Temple's promotion of beast battles led to a surge in demand for spirit beasts.

Although the sect refused to sell combat-oriented spirit beasts, they did sell ornamental ones.

However, this was at odds with their core philosophy.

When news came that the Five-Element God King had married a Beast Clan God King and declared a vision of equality among all races, the Spirit Beast Sect was overjoyed.

The Five-Element God King's ideals aligned perfectly with theirs.

Thus, the sect decided to relocate entirely to the Five-Element God Realm—a massive undertaking.

Cyr and Yorton were sent ahead to assess whether the Five-Element God Realm would be a suitable home for their spirit beasts.

After all…

The Five-Element God Realm was still recovering from the Beast Clan's invasion, and the sect had concerns about its environment.
