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

Chapter276-Preparing to Depart

After reaching his conclusion, even Daniel was startled.

The implications of such a conclusion were, frankly, terrifying.

Currently, the dominance of the human race in the God Realm was undeniable,

stemming from several factors.

Firstly, in terms of high-end combat power, the number of God Kings among humans

far exceeded that of any other race.

Take the 5-Element God Realm and its neighboring God Realms, for example.

The combined might of these God Kings alone was enough to hold off the Beast Clan.

And this was just the frontier.

If these God Realms could unite,

even a million-strong Beast Clan army would hardly pose a threat.

Given the heritage of these human God Realms, dealing with such a force wouldn't be an issue.

Unfortunately…

internal conflicts had led to the current fractured state.

Beyond their God Kings, the human race boasted an overwhelming number of mid-level and lower-tier fighters.

Additionally, every God Realm controlled its own Mortal Realms,

ensuring a continuous supply of power from the bottom to the top.

In such circumstances, how could any other race possibly rise?

Daniel couldn't see any plausible path.

Indeed, in the current God Realm,

human dominance over other races was absolute.

This was true not just for their high-end combat power,

but also for their overwhelming population at all levels.

To return to the balance of the past…

the first step would be to reduce the human population—

both at the top and at the bottom.

In this light, the so-called calamity became clearer.

It was likely a calamity specifically targeting the human race.

As for the form it would take or its scale, Daniel couldn't yet say.

But…

this calamity seemed inevitable.

The question remained: who, if anyone, could escape its grasp?

Several days later, Rose successfully advanced beyond the God Lord rank.

Reed, too, was close, just one step away from God Lord.

For these two, who had already mastered the power of rules,

the progression from God Lord to God Sovereign posed no challenges—

it was merely a matter of time.

Daniel gave each of them a few drops of Life Elixir.

While such elixir was typically too potent for anyone below God Sovereign,

Daniel had faith in them.

As expected, the results were soon evident.

With this, both had essentially joined the ranks of the God Realm's high-end combatants.

Looking at the two of them, Daniel realized it was time for him to leave.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes," Rose replied without hesitation.

She couldn't imagine remaining idle.

For the past few years, she had been focused on rapidly increasing her strength.

But the God Realm was vast, and she had yet to make her mark.

Your journey continues on empire

Reed, driven by similar motivations, nodded in agreement.

Now that they had sufficient power to protect themselves,

they could confidently explore the God Realm.

With their abilities and mastery of rules, they would face little danger.

Thus, Daniel knew his departure was due.

"Are you really leaving, Lord Daniel?" the 5-Element God King asked.

"Yes, it's time I explored other places."

"And us…" Ink Sea God King trailed off.

"You should stay here with 5-Elements for now.

I have other matters to attend to."

"Understood!"

Daniel then left the 5-Element God Realm, accompanied by Rose, Reed, and their followers.

Before parting, Daniel asked the two,

"What are your plans?"

"Father, I plan to proceed cautiously in the God Realm," Rose replied.

"I'll focus on improving the strength of my people.

Otherwise… being the sole God Lord means little."

Daniel nodded in approval.

Reed, on the other hand, had a more aggressive approach:

"Headmaster, I plan to do as we did in our world—

head straight for the center of the God Realm."

"If that's your choice, you've picked the harder path. Be careful."

"Yes!" Reed replied, undeterred.

Daniel considered their paths and gave each of them divine stones and items for protection.

Additionally, he handed Rose the Star Map.

Since Rose aimed to grow stronger, exploring ruins might be ideal.

Moreover, two critical fragments of the Star Map were still missing,

and Daniel suspected they might be hidden within such ruins.

Thus, Rose's journey to these ruins could potentially uncover the fragments

while simultaneously strengthening her and her followers.

After equipping them, Daniel departed with Big White and Elise.

At the edge of the 5-Element God Realm,

Daniel and his companions prepared to head north, toward the God Realm's center.

"Father, it feels like it's just us again," Big White remarked, perched on Daniel's shoulder, sounding a bit bored.

"Why? Do you want to stay in the 5-Element God Realm?" Daniel asked.

Leaving Big White behind wasn't out of the question.

However, given Daniel's plans to visit the Greenwood God Realm to investigate realm ascension,

Big White's presence was necessary.

Otherwise, the relatively safe 5-Element God Realm would have been a comfortable place for Big White to stay.

"Not really. I just feel like we didn't spend enough time with Sister Rose before separating again.

I like it when there are more people around.

It'd be nice if that clumsy uncle came along to argue with me."

Clumsy… uncle?

Daniel looked at Big White, puzzled.

Could he mean the 5-Element God King?

It did seem to fit.

Just then, a figure hurriedly approached from behind.

"Lord Daniel! Wait for me! Lord Daniel!"

"Hey, it's the clumsy uncle!"

Big White exclaimed upon hearing the voice, glancing back.

Sure enough, the clumsy uncle in question was the 5-Element God King.

However, this time, he hadn't come in person.

Instead, he had sent an avatar, just as he had when Daniel first met him.

"What are you doing here?" Daniel asked, puzzled.

Logically, the 5-Element God King should have been with his wife in the 5-Element God Realm,

especially so soon after their wedding.

"What else? I'm coming with you, of course!"

The 5-Element God King replied matter-of-factly.

"Shouldn't you be managing your God Realm?"

"The God Realm… well, it does need managing,

but this is just an avatar!

I can move freely with it!"

Daniel thought for a moment and asked,

"You can control both your main body and this avatar simultaneously, right?"

"I can, but splitting my attention causes issues.

While the 5-Element God Realm is safe,

this avatar won't function at full strength if I'm distracted—

especially in dangerous situations."

"So, you'll need to focus entirely on controlling this avatar,

handling 5-Element God Realm matters only when things are calm?"

"Well… yes and no.

To be honest, Lomont and Ink Sea have been managing everything so efficiently,

I barely have to do anything."

After Lomont's promotion to God King,

his speed and precision in handling affairs had been remarkable.

Even Ink Sea God King was impressed.

As a result, the 5-Element God King found himself free enough

to accompany Daniel on this journey with his avatar.

"Still, it feels like you're just afraid to go home at night," Daniel remarked.

"Afraid? Me? The 5-Element God King, scared of a mere Fox Clan God King?

Who would believe that nonsense?"

"Your trembling legs make it pretty convincing," Daniel retorted with a smirk.
