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

Chapter275-The Wedding of the 5-Element God King

The entire 5-Element God Realm was abuzz with the news.

Shortly after the young prodigy tournament concluded, an announcement from the 5-Element Temple spread like wildfire:

The 5-Element God King was marrying a God King from the Beast Clan.

Years ago, the greatest threat to the 5-Element God Realm had been the Beast Clan.

During that devastating war, countless humans perished.

It was only after that war that the 5-Element God King gathered the scattered human survivors

and built a city around the 5-Element Temple to defend against the Beast Clan.

This was how the current 5-Element God Realm came to be.

For many, the Beast Clan was a buried trauma, a thunderclap in their memories.

Now, the announcement that the 5-Element God King would marry a God King from the Beast Clan was hard to accept for many.

The news caused an uproar.

Some argued that this decision betrayed the memory of those who had died at the hands of the Beast Clan.

Others held an entirely opposite view.

The 5-Element God Realm had utterly crushed the Beast Clan back then!

The Beast Clan's million-strong army was reduced to less than a tenth,

and the survivors fled in disgrace.

So what if the 5-Element God King married a Beast Clan God King?

There was no problem with that!

In short, the announcement sparked heated debates.

However, the discussions among the people of the 5-Element God Realm remained verbal and did not escalate.

After all, the 5-Element God King had every right to do as he pleased.

The million-strong Beast Clan army had been vanquished by him.

Marrying a single Beast Clan God King? What of it?

Meanwhile, the 5-Element Temple was bustling with activity.

Everyone in the temple knew about the upcoming wedding, and the atmosphere was lively.

The wedding itself was low-key.

Apart from Daniel and a few God Kings, no external guests were invited.

The event concluded smoothly and without any disruptions.

Still, the news spread rapidly.

A marriage between a human God King and a Beast Clan God King was far too shocking to remain quiet.

The next morning, the 5-Element God King, sporting dark circles under his eyes,

made his way to Daniel.

"Judging by your appearance, you must have had a long night!"

Daniel took one look at the 5-Element God King and instantly guessed what had transpired, laughing.

The 5-Element God King, perhaps due to lack of sleep or some other reason,

unintentionally responded to Daniel's comment:

"You have no idea, Lord Daniel. The Fox Clan physique is just… wait!"

Halfway through his sentence, he realized he shouldn't continue.

Hurriedly, he changed the topic:

"Lord Daniel, I actually came to speak with you about something else."

"Go on."

"Well, after my wedding yesterday, starting last night and continuing into this morning,

I've been receiving inquiries from numerous people.

Most of them are individuals I've crossed paths with in the God Realm.

They're all trying to find out more about me."

The 5-Element God King hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Lord Daniel, is this matter really causing such a huge stir?"

He had never anticipated that marrying a Beast Clan God King would have such far-reaching consequences.

If he had known, he might have decisively refused…

Although, last night was indeed enjoyable…

But setting that aside, wasn't this a separate issue?

"Remove your doubts," Daniel said calmly.

"A marriage between a human God King and a Beast Clan God King is an unprecedented event in the God Realm.

5-Elements, you can rest assured—you've made a name for yourself across the entire God Realm."

Hearing this, the 5-Element God King looked dismayed:

"Does that mean I've taken a loss here?"

"Not necessarily. It's just fame—nothing more," Daniel reassured him.

"Really?"

"Yes."

In truth, most in the God Realm likely viewed the event as mere gossip.

After all, the 5-Element God Realm had suffered the worst during the Beast Clan invasion.

The million-strong Beast Clan army had indeed caused devastating destruction in the 5-Element God Realm—

a fact no one could deny.

Yet now, even within the 5-Element God Realm,

there was substantial support for the 5-Element God King's decision.

After all, it was he who had decisively crushed the Beast Clan's arrogance and driven them away in defeat.

Under such circumstances, marrying a Beast Clan God King could even be seen as magnanimity.

Within the 5-Element God Realm, there was little opposition.

As for the rest of the God Realm? Their opinions mattered even less.

"By the way, do you remember that incident?" Daniel asked.

"What incident?"

"After the Beast Clan army retreated, someone left you a message,

saying that the rise of the Beast Clan was inevitable."

"Oh, yes! I remember that clearly!"

The 5-Element God King quickly responded.

The person who left that message had also left behind a terrifying aura.

The aura had been so overwhelming that it reminded the 5-Element God King of his first encounter with Daniel.

Looking back now, however, it didn't seem quite as formidable.

Still, he was curious about why Daniel had brought it up.

Noticing the 5-Element God King's puzzled expression, Daniel explained:

"Well, if that individual claimed the rise of the Beast Clan was unstoppable,

doesn't that mean your 5-Element God Realm now includes a part of the Beast Clan?"

Daniel smiled knowingly at the 5-Element God King.

At that moment, the 5-Element God King, still groggy from the previous night,

felt as though his mind had suddenly cleared.

"Yes! With this marriage, our 5-Element God Realm technically has a Beast Clan member now.

This makes our expansion into the God Realm's central regions completely reasonable!

It's only fitting for the 5-Element God Realm to rise!"

The 5-Element God King laughed heartily as he came to this realization.

"Thank you, Lord Daniel. I'll be heading back now. Last night really wore me out—

I need to rest properly," he said as he hurried off,

leaving as energetically as he had arrived.

Daniel's suggestion indeed held some merit.

The shadowy figure who had left that message had warned Daniel against using power beyond the God King level

or interfering with the destinies of other races,

claiming that the rise of the Beast Clan was inevitable.

But Daniel didn't believe such words.

What good could come from such secretive individuals?

He was determined to see for himself if the so-called rise of the Beast Clan was truly inevitable.

If it was, the 5-Element God King would undoubtedly benefit.

If not, then those spreading such rumors were certainly suspicious.

There was another reason Daniel had encouraged the 5-Element God King's actions.

In the ancient ruins he had explored, including the fallen Divine Dynasty and the Life Temple,

Daniel had noticed a common theme.

In those ancient powers, there seemed to be no such divisions between races as there were now.

Back then, all races coexisted within a single force, working together for a shared purpose.

This stood in stark contrast to the present God Realm,

dominated by humans while the Beast Clan was pushed to the southernmost regions.

Considering the shadowy figure's talk of the Beast Clan's rise,

Daniel formed a simple hypothesis:

Perhaps the so-called calamity was not merely a simple catastrophe.

It could represent a reshuffling of the God Realm's order.

After the calamity, the current balance of power and territories would be cleansed.

The new powers that emerged after the calamity might resemble those of the ancient past,

where all races coexisted within a single force.

It wouldn't be just the Beast Clan rising—

all races would find their place in the aftermath.

The only certainty?

The human race would lose its current dominance.
