Chapter296-Selection
Soon, the first to retreat was Ryze.
Frowning, he looked at the array disk in his hand and said,
"This thing doesn't seem to be related to a magic array... I can't figure out any way to crack it."
Ryze was a bit disappointed.
He had always prided himself on being unparalleled in array mastery, but he never expected to encounter such a situation.
As for the multicolored pillar...
It was clearly a product of a magic array, but he couldn't make any breakthrough at all.
He could only wait to see if someone else had a solution.
Shortly after, Nora appeared beside Ryze and said,
"I can't use the rules to infiltrate this thing at all. It's as if it's a single complete entity."
At that moment, a figure suddenly fell to the ground.
It was Nina.
Nina got up from the ground, holding her reddened forehead.
"What is this thing? I tried entering through various spatial methods, but I couldn't get in at all."
These people were at the pinnacle of Crossbridge World.
Now, even they couldn't do anything about the multicolored pillar.
This could only mean one thing.
"I wonder what the headmaster is up to this time."
"Forget it, we've never been able to understand the headmaster's methods. Let's just wait for him to explain it himself."
...
Returning to the familiar environment, Daniel immediately felt a sense of ease.
This kind of setting was more suited to him.
The current Riverside City was in a very peculiar state.
Its main body was situated in the God Realm, yet it also had a way to connect with Crossbridge World.
"Big White, notify the Five-Element God King and ask him to come here. Tell him I have something to discuss with him."
After Daniel finished speaking, he began walking toward the meeting room.
In the meeting room, the familiar faces of the academy's senior staff remained.
However, Daniel also noticed a few new faces.
Of course, these weren't the main focus.
"Headmaster!"
"Daniel!"
"..."
The moment these people saw Daniel, they were all extremely excited.
Daniel waved his hand, signaling them to calm down.
"I've been observing Crossbridge Academy's growth over the years. Today's Crossbridge Academy is a result of everyone's hard work."
Daniel's words of encouragement brought smiles to everyone's faces.
"This time, what happened was more of a spur-of-the-moment decision, so I only had time to notify Director Rowan… oh, I mean Vice Headmaster Rowan now."
"Additionally, I need to briefly explain the current situation in the God Realm to avoid causing unnecessary confusion."
Daniel began describing the overall situation of the God Realm.
For instance, the current location of Riverside City, the invasion of the Five-Element God Realm beast clan, and the looming Apocalypse in the God Realm.
He also mentioned his plans, such as using Riverside City to achieve the same effect as Greenwood God Realm—selecting prodigies in advance and bringing them into the God Realm.
After hearing Daniel's explanation, everyone in the meeting room fell silent.
After a long pause, Rowan finally spoke,
"Is the God Realm really that dangerous?"
"It's indeed dangerous, but crises come with opportunities. This is also a chance for training and growth."
Hearing Daniel's words, everyone nodded.
Crossbridge Academy had almost achieved an invincible status in the Mortal Realm.

Many students found it difficult to obtain the challenges they needed.
Now that they were in the God Realm, it presented a great opportunity.
An easy journey rarely fosters growth.
Currently, the students had it too easy.
"Daniel, what do you plan to do?"
Daniel took out a token.
"Now, Riverside City serves as a channel connecting the two realms. This token allows free travel between Crossbridge World and the God Realm."
"You can now set the rules for selection. If someone meets the criteria, you can distribute these tokens to bring them into Riverside City."
Rowan took the token and immediately sensed a powerful spatial force emanating from it.
At the same time, he could feel the familiar aura of Crossbridge World.
"By the way, this token can only be used by native beings of Crossbridge World, and only those within the world's power limit."
"What about those beyond the limit?"
"They would be immediately detected and obliterated by the Will of the World in the God Realm."
Hearing Daniel's explanation, everyone quickly nodded, indicating they understood the rules.
Big White, however, looked at Daniel with a puzzled expression. It wondered whether such a rule truly existed.
As the Will of the World for Crossbridge World, it had never heard of this.
"Headmaster, we understand the rules, but what exactly should we do? We have no experience in this."
"Don't worry. Someone will arrive soon. The Five-Element God King will be here shortly. You can discuss the details with him. Remember, my goal is to make Crossbridge Academy a truly powerful force, not one that becomes prey after I'm gone."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Daniel then gave them a few more minor instructions.
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed through the room.
"Lord Daniel, what's so urgent that you called me? Thankfully, I wasn't far away and could get here in time."
The Five-Element God King spoke as he walked in.
Then he looked around at the people present, appearing somewhat confused.
Who were these people?
And who was the boy standing beside Daniel, looking so much like him?
As these thoughts crossed his mind, the Five-Element God King suddenly noticed something unusual.
This place…
It felt odd!
It somewhat resembled the God Realm, but he was certain this wasn't purely the aura of the God Realm.
Instead, it contained hints of the Mortal Realm.
The Five-Element God King instantly extended his mind power to investigate the surroundings.
In his perception, this city was inhabited by a large number of ordinary people.
Moreover...
At the city's edges, it seemed to be adapting to and integrating with the God Realm.
After noticing this, a terrifying guess emerged in the Five-Element God King's mind.
Could it be that Daniel had directly transported an entire city from the Mortal Realm?
This guess shocked the Five-Element God King.
He had never imagined that such a feat was even possible.
After all, he had studied the Mortal Realm multiple times and even wanted to visit Crossbridge World himself.
He knew very well how difficult it was for a God King to extend their influence into the Mortal Realm.
Transporting an entire city, along with its inhabitants, from the Mortal Realm to the God Realm was an unimaginable challenge.
The Five-Element God King couldn't even begin to fathom how Daniel, despite his strength, had accomplished such a monumental task.
This level of interference from the God Realm should have posed significant restrictions.
The Five-Element God King's astonishment caused everyone around him to frown.
Who was this person?
Why did he seem so jumpy and far from composed?
Seeing this, Daniel introduced him to the group,
"This is the Five-Element God King. From now on, you can discuss the specifics with him."
As Daniel's words fell, everyone in the meeting room was shocked.
They hadn't expected this individual to be the ruler of the Five-Element God Realm—the Five-Element God King!
From Daniel's earlier introduction, they already knew that a God King was among the highest-ranked entities in the God Realm.
"Lord Daniel, what do you need me to do?"
The Five-Element God King asked, looking at Daniel with a puzzled expression.
But Daniel didn't elaborate. Instead, he said,
"It's about selecting prodigies to enter the God Realm in advance. You can work out the specific details with them, including subsequent training. My requirement is that before the Apocalypse arrives, Crossbridge Academy must become a formidable force capable of contending with other top powers!"
After speaking, Daniel slowly disappeared.
