Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!-Chapter 306 - -The Merciless God Realm

At first, when Daniel learned about the situation, he was truly shocked—or perhaps more accurately, infuriated.

How could so many powerful forces in the Sun and Lunar God Realm have allowed things to deteriorate to this extent?

However, as more information trickled in, Daniel began to understand the larger picture.

The mass exodus of people fleeing toward surrounding god realms signified one thing: aside from the top-tier forces capable of resisting the Beast Clan, the rest had no choice but to retreat.

Some might hope to seek refuge under these top-tier factions, but why would those factions protect them?

Naturally, it was out of the question.

This created a bizarre phenomenon:

The top-tier forces remained in the Sun and Lunar God Realm, fighting the Beast Clan, while the ordinary folk, as well as small- to mid-tier factions, fled en masse.

By the time most of these smaller factions had evacuated, even the parasites within the great families and elite factions had been largely purged by the onslaught of the Beast Clan.

What remained were the true elites.

With such refined forces and united resolve, resisting the Beast Clan no longer seemed impossible.

On the surface, this strategy made sense. As long as one ignored the looming Apocalypse, which no one but a select few knew about, the situation appeared manageable.

But therein lay the problem.

The Apocalypse was imminent.

According to the Divine Dynasty’s prophecy, the Sun and Lunar God Realm was the only place with even a sliver of hope to survive the Apocalypse.

Now, the only ones left in the Sun and Lunar God Realm were the original top-tier forces, along with god kings like Greenwood God King, who had prior knowledge of the prophecy and had brought their loyal subordinates to reinforce the realm.

So, while things looked fine on the surface, beneath it all was a web of manipulation and schemes.

Eventually, Daniel lost interest in these matters.

The more he learned, the more disheartening it became.

On the other hand, the Five-Element God Realm took this opportunity to expand once again, acquiring vast swathes of land and populations.

Daniel knew that his primary focus during the Apocalypse would be to safeguard the Five-Element God Realm.

As for the Beast Clan armies, they had long since learned that the Five-Element God Realm was not to be trifled with. After all, this realm harbored a potential god king-level entity capable of taking action at any moment.

As the Five-Element God Realm continued to expand, the Beast Clan’s forces began taking even longer detours to avoid it.

In fact, they even went so far as to build a magic array specifically for teleporting their armies, just to bypass the Five-Element God Realm altogether.

As a result, the Five-Element God Realm grew increasingly peaceful and serene.

Crossbridge Academy

"And so, I grabbed that villain with my bare hands! At that very moment, his god king arrived and was about to shout, ’Spare him!’ But I wasn’t afraid! Villains like that deserve only one fate—death!"

Big White recounted one of his "heroic tales" with an air of righteousness.

This time, it was his fifty-third story about braving the Arena of Beasts and rescuing a spirit beast from the clutches of multiple god kings.

Seated around him was a little girl with fox ears atop her head. As she listened to Big White’s story, her eyes sparkled with admiration, and she clapped her hands excitedly.

"That’s amazing, Big White! What happened next? What did that god king do afterward?"

"At the time, I was merely an earth god, so when the god king’s overwhelming aura descended upon me like a towering mountain, I—"

Before Big White could finish his story, Fox God King approached them.

"Big White, Lily, it’s time to eat."

"Okay, Aunt Fox."

"Mommy, Big White is so incredible! Today, he defeated a god king while he was still an earth god. Daddy is so pitiful…" Lily remarked.

It seemed that Big White’s daily stories for Lily varied in content.

Sometimes they were about infiltrating the Arena of Beasts, sometimes about exploring secret realms, and other times about defeating formidable foes.

The stories always followed a similar formula: an enemy of god king rank would appear, only to be vanquished by Big White.

Of course, in these tales, Big White’s strength differed each time, ranging from earth god to heavenly god and beyond.

Lily, however, didn’t care about these inconsistencies. She simply loved the idea of triumphing over evil and hearing about acts of bravery.

As for the defeated god kings in the stories…

Lily naturally associated them with her father, the Five-Element God King, since he was the only god king she knew besides her mother.

Hearing Lily’s words, Fox God King sighed helplessly.

She couldn’t pinpoint when Lily had developed such a strong fascination for Big White’s fantastical tales.

"Big White, perhaps it’s best if you stop telling Lily these stories," Fox God King suggested.

What if Lily grew up and actually ventured into a secret realm one day?

"Especially these battle stories," she added.

"Got it, Aunt Fox. Next time, I’ll tell Lily a love story! Once upon a time—"

As Big White began weaving yet another story, with Lily already preparing to listen intently, Fox God King interrupted quickly.

"Let’s eat first! Otherwise, the food will get cold."

Over the past few years, Fox God King had grown accustomed to spending her days at Crossbridge Academy with Lily, and the two were now inseparable.

She led the two "children" into the dining hall, where Daniel was already seated. Seeing everyone gathered, he called for the meal to begin.

As for the Five-Element God King, there was no need to worry about him. He would inevitably show up at the right time.

Just as they started eating, the familiar voice of the Five-Element God King rang out:

"Big Brother, I’ve just received some crucial news from my friend—"

As he spoke, he walked into the room, his usual jovial demeanor intact.

Over the years, their relationship had grown closer, to the point where Daniel had asked the Five-Element God King and Fox God King to simply call him Big Brother.

The formal "Lord Daniel" was too cumbersome, and Daniel wasn’t one for unnecessary ceremony.

The Five-Element God King saw everyone eating and promptly declared, "Perfect timing! I’m starving."

Without hesitation, he sat in his designated seat.

"Lily, do you miss Daddy?" he asked, turning to his daughter.

"Come here, let Daddy give you a kiss!"

With his scruffy beard, he leaned in to kiss Lily on the forehead, eliciting a frown from the little girl.

His rough stubble was genuinely uncomfortable.

Perhaps this was why Lily found it so easy to imagine Big White’s stories, where a god king-level villain—often subconsciously associated with her father—was defeated.

Everything had its reasons, after all.

Just a few bites into the meal, the Five-Element God King seemed to remember something.

"Big Brother, about that matter—"

Before he could finish, Daniel interrupted.

"Let’s eat first. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after the meal."

This silenced the Five-Element God King, who obediently focused on eating.

After the meal, Daniel leaned back and asked, "Alright, what’s this important matter? Let me guess—something about the Sun and Lunar God Realm, correct?"

"As expected, Big Brother, you guessed it!" the Five-Element God King exclaimed.

"It’s about the Sun and Lunar God Realm. Word from Greenwood God King is that both sides seem to be preparing for a final showdown. There’s been hardly any activity in the past few days."

"Their big players are likely planning something major."

Daniel instantly understood.

The "big players" referred to the god king-level entities and above.

This time, those top-tier factions had masterfully orchestrated events.

By using the Beast Clan’s invasion as a pretext, they had purged numerous lesser factions from the Sun and Lunar God Realm while also eliminating parasites within their own ranks.

What remained were elite forces, primed to fight for the last sliver of hope amidst the Apocalypse.

It was a brilliant and ruthless calculation.

But…

These factions showed no regard for human lives, treating the deaths of others as mere tools in their grand designs.

To them, those outside their circles were little more than expendable resources—lower beings unworthy of consideration.

In this merciless cleansing, the Five-Element God King could only do his best to shelter and integrate the survivors.

The God Realm is merciless, and the top-tier factions are even more so.
