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

After the 5-Element God King arrived before Daniel, he suddenly seemed a bit hesitant.

It felt like he wanted to say something but was holding back.

Daniel directly asked, "If you have something to say, just say it. Didn't you come to me for something?"

"Well… um, Daniel, sir, do you have any thoughts on the future development of the 5-Element God Realm?"

?

Daniel looked at the 5-Element God King in confusion.

"Isn't this your 5-Element God Realm? You can make your own decisions."

"Well… it's like this, I do have some ideas, but I'm just a bit short on divine stones…" the 5-Element God King said awkwardly.

Hearing this, Daniel understood the 5-Element God King's purpose.

So, it was about asking for divine stones. No wonder he was acting so awkward.

"Alright then, tell me your plans first, and how many divine stones you need," Daniel said.

"Great! Here's the situation… After the beast clan retreated, they're probably not going to dare come back to the 5-Element God Realm for a while."

"Moreover, the beast clan army suffered heavy losses, so they probably won't be active for a long time."

"However, this army of a million was still not their full force."

"I think it's likely that the beast clan will start smaller-scale harassment of the other god realms next."

"So, I want to open up the borders of the 5-Element God Realm to absorb and welcome people from other god realms."

"Of course, it's not just about population but also the Mortal Realms they control."

Since the Giant Mountain God King had been directly killed by the 5-Element God King, the Mortal Realm passages of the Giant Mountain God Realm were largely under the 5-Element God King's control.

For other god realms, where the god kings were still alive, the 5-Element God King planned to buy their Mortal Realms with divine stones.

The 5-Element God Realm was currently in a state of emptiness.

It wasn't a lack of space; it was a lack of people.

In fact, having a larger population might even enable expansion into neighboring areas.

Anyway, with the Giant Mountain God King dead, no new god king would come to replace him.

Another critical point was that the calamity was imminent.

No one would want to come to this southern region so close to the beast clan.

This made the 5-Element God King's plan seem perfect—absorbing population and talent, and expanding the god realm. Under such circumstances, everything appeared much more logical.

After the great war, the entire 5-Element God Realm was in a state of rebuilding and urgently needed a large influx of people.

So, this idea was certainly not a problem.

Previously, the decision to let the injured god kings return was not only to maintain relative stability but also to ensure the situation wasn't too stable.

This way, the beast clan wouldn't occupy those places freely, and the other god realms wouldn't have enough strength to ensure everyone's safety.

As a result, the stability of the 5-Element God Realm would become more attractive to others.

Population replenishment achieved.

The 5-Element God King's idea was indeed well-thought-out, even aligning with previous strategies. It was truly a clever plan.

Daniel asked, "How many divine stones does this plan require?"

Hearing Daniel's question, the 5-Element God King perked up and quickly replied, "Well… according to my preliminary estimates, it should be about ten trillion divine stones…"

When he said this, the 5-Element God King appeared nervous.

"Only ten trillion?" Daniel asked flatly.

Noticing Daniel's tone, the 5-Element God King immediately sensed something was wrong.

Daniel wasn't happy with the number.

Before coming, he had consulted the Ink Sea God King about this.

Ink Sea God King had told him one thing: ask for as many divine stones as possible.

The more he asked for, the happier Daniel would be.

The 5-Element God King didn't quite understand this, so he decided to start with a conservative figure.

Sure enough, seeing Daniel's apparent displeasure, he quickly added, "Lord, tw…"

"Thirty trillion! Yes, thirty trillion!" the 5-Element God King repeated for emphasis.

Daniel shook his head. Such a small vision!

"Alright, I'll give you fifty trillion. Make sure you get the job done well. If it's not enough, come back for more," Daniel said.

"Yes!"

Taking the storage crystal, the 5-Element God King quickly left.

For the past few days, Daniel had been staying in the 5-Element Temple, where the 5-Element God King had arranged accommodations for him.

Arya and the others had their own places as well, but Daniel had assigned them to help the 5-Element God King.

The entire 5-Element God Realm was in a state of rebuilding, and these god-king-level individuals could provide valuable assistance.

Additionally, this place was part of the Upper Realm of the Crossbridge World.

By improving it, future ascenders from the Crossbridge World would have a better experience.

As for Daniel, he was busy unraveling the divine dynasty relics.

He had collected so many but hadn't unlocked all of them yet.

For instance, the Star Map he had initially opened was still incomplete. It would take time.

If there were valuable items, he could feed them to Big White.

The less valuable ones could go to the 5-Element God King—he might need them.

Just as Daniel had barely started his work, the 5-Element God King rushed in again, looking flustered.

This made Daniel frown. He had just given him divine stones; what could he possibly want now?

"Lord Daniel, something terrible has happened!" the 5-Element God King exclaimed, panicking.

"Calm down. What happened? Speak slowly."

"It's like this. I was about to inspect the damaged cities, and just outside the city, I saw something at the place you attacked yesterday. Curious, I went closer to check. Then, some kind of recorded message activated and entered my mind."

"Could it be someone's prank?" Daniel asked.

"Lord, this is no prank. I could sense an incredibly terrifying aura… like the one you unleashed when destroying the beast clan army. That kind of overwhelming power made even someone of my god king rank feel immense pressure and fear."

"Alright, what did the message say?"

Hearing this, Daniel's interest was piqued. Judging by the 5-Element God King's description, it was likely from someone, or a group, far beyond the god king level. These entities had issued a warning.

This suggested that the rumors might be true.

It was even possible that someone had discovered secrets beyond the god king rank.

But… these beings seemed to be worried about something, not even daring to show themselves, only leaving behind a recorded message.

"It's like this. The message seemed to mistake me for you… assuming it was me who acted yesterday. It essentially warned me not to act like that again."

"It also said the beast clan's rise and counterattack against humanity is inevitable and shouldn't be obstructed. A proper opportunity will eventually bring a great fortune."

"Furthermore, if I continue to intervene as I did yesterday, altering the predetermined fate, I will face backlash."

The 5-Element God King's voice was filled with worry.

He couldn't believe that Daniel's assistance yesterday might lead to such dire consequences. Even Daniel himself could face backlash?

Hearing this, Daniel was unimpressed. The message was full of threats, cloaked as concern for him. Such arrogance… not even daring to show their faces and only leaving a recorded message.

"Is that all?" Daniel asked.

"Yes, Lord Daniel, that's everything," the 5-Element God King replied. He had come straight to Daniel after hearing the message to inform him of this development.

However, from the look of it, Daniel didn't seem to care.
