Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!-Chapter 326 - -Daniel’s Exploration

"Phew… that makes three spots now," Elise said with a sigh of relief.

She had been worried that Daniel would insist on her joining the Gold Board competition. Thankfully, with King Shark stepping up, Daniel surely wouldn’t ask her to participate anymore, right?

"If you joined, we’d be sweeping up four Gold Boards," Daniel remarked.

"Headmaster, please spare me. I’m perfectly happy just cooking in peace. Fighting and all that… it’s just not for me," Elise said quickly, waving her hands.

Daniel shook his head and let the topic drop. After a moment, as if remembering something, he asked:

"By the way… your aunt and your family—they came to the God Realm with us, didn’t they? It’s been a while. Have you gone back to visit them?"

Elise froze for a moment before answering.

"I did go back once, right after Riverside City arrived in the God Realm. But… there’s no reason to stay long. If I stay too long, some people might start having unnecessary ideas. That wouldn’t be good," she said calmly.

"That’s still your family. You should visit when you can. Who knows? After the Apocalypse, you might not get another chance," Daniel said.

Elise paused, her expression turning complicated.

"Headmaster, are you trying to send me away?"

"No matter what happens, I want to stay by your side! You need someone like me here, don’t you?" Elise said, looking directly at him.

She could sense something unusual. Daniel wasn’t acting like himself. Over the years, Elise had come to understand Daniel well, and this was not his usual behavior.

Finally, Daniel let out a long sigh and said, "The truth is, I have something I need to do."

"What could you be doing that requires you to send me away?" Elise asked.

"Something… very dangerous," Daniel replied.

Elise was taken aback.

Such a tone, such words—she had never heard them from Daniel before.

That was right.

Daniel almost never used words like "dangerous" to describe anything. It was rare, if not unheard of, for him to show any apprehension.

But now, in this moment, she could hear it.

"Is it because of the Apocalypse?"

"The Apocalypse has never been anything worth worrying about, Elise."

Even if the God Realm were to fall, it wouldn’t affect Crossbridge World.

"What I’m about to do…"

Daniel paused, then changed the subject slightly and asked:

"Elise, do you believe that there exists something in this world capable of producing mana stones, mana crystals, divine stones, and divine crystals infinitely? Something that can also generate limitless power—even surpassing the might of world creation itself?"

Daniel’s words made Elise frown.

What he was saying…

It went against everything she knew.

It sounded like the fanciful imagination of a child.

But Elise knew Daniel wouldn’t say something like this without reason.

"Headmaster, are you saying…"

"Yes. What I intend to do next is search for such a thing. Everything about it is unknown, and I have no guarantees."

What Daniel spoke of was tied to the secrets of his own existence.

Now that Crossbridge World was on the verge of becoming a God King-rank world, and everything in Crossbridge Academy was progressing smoothly—Rose and the others included—Daniel felt it was time to seek answers to the questions that had lingered in his heart for so long.

Why was he in this world?

What was the library that had chosen him?

"You’re going to embark on such a dangerous journey now?" Elise asked.

"More or less. At this stage, I’m only planning an initial investigation—nothing too risky. At least… not before the Apocalypse arrives. The real exploration will have to wait," Daniel explained.

He knew this endeavor wouldn’t be as simple as it seemed.

"Then I’ll stay here. After the Apocalypse, I’ll leave," Elise said firmly.

Daniel sighed. "If you want to leave, you can do so anytime."

Beneath the surface of the lake, King Shark swam to its deepest part.

There, a life elixir was stored.

Daniel had left a single command embedded in its mind—a command it could never defy: to guard the lake and Crossbridge Academy with its life.

This command would be passed down through its bloodline for generations.

…

Ten years passed.

During this decade, Daniel traveled across the God Realm, delving into its many corners.

He visited all the major factions, poring over their vast libraries.

He explored every secret realm and forbidden zone he could find since the creation of the God Realm.

In the process, he stumbled upon a surprising truth.

The Will of the God Realm—or rather, the God Realm itself—had no consciousness.

It functioned as an objective system, a set of rules designed solely to maintain balance within the God Realm.

Beyond this purpose, it did nothing.

While this discovery intrigued Daniel, what shocked him even more was the realization that the God Realm lacked a Sacred Time River.

That’s right—the God Realm simply didn’t have one.

The Sacred Time River was an essential feature of any developing world. It served as the chronicle of a world’s progress, recording its history.

Even Crossbridge World, whose Sacred Time River Daniel had destroyed, had begun forming a new one as the world continued to grow.

Yet in the God Realm, no such river existed.

This baffling absence suggested something deeply unusual.

After exhaustive research, Daniel confirmed that while the God Realm lacked a Sacred Time River, it did possess something similar—a record of every event since the God Realm’s inception.

But no one knew what form this record took or where it was located.

Many had searched for it, including some of the most powerful entities in the God Realm, but all attempts ended in failure.

This mysterious record came to be known as the Genesis Chronicle.

It even inspired the formation of an organization dedicated to its discovery, comprised entirely of guardians and other high-ranking beings.

Their goal was to uncover the origins of all worlds by finding the Genesis Chronicle.

But…

They failed.

The organization dissolved, its members disheartened.

During the divine dynasty era, their dream of uncovering the Genesis Chronicle was abandoned.

Why?

Because the faint clues they uncovered pointed beyond the God Realm—to the chaotic void.

The idea was absurd.

The Genesis Chronicle, the record of everything in the God Realm, lying in the chaos?

What’s next? Would it turn out to be in the hands of the Devils of Chaos?

Faced with this ridiculous conclusion, the organization disbanded.

Its members ridiculed their own folly, lamenting the wasted years spent chasing a phantom.
