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

With an angry roar from the 5-Element God King,

the magic array of the entire 5-Element Temple was instantly activated.

As the one with the highest authority over this sealing magic array,

the 5-Element God King unleashed its full power in a single moment.

Even the members within the 5-Element Temple were dumbfounded,

unable to comprehend how this sealed magic array could be deactivated on its own.

But the next instant, the people inside the 5-Element Temple burst into cheers,

for they had seen the return of the 5-Element God King!

"The God King!"

"Your Excellency! You've finally returned!"

"…"

The members of the 5-Element Temple shouted joyously.

"There's no need for words now—follow me and slay these beast clan bastards!"

With a single command from the 5-Element God King,

a large number of mages poured out from the temple,

charging toward the fleeing beast clan army.

Previously, the 5-Element Temple had activated the sealed magic array

because the beast clan had sent two God King-level combatants.

In the absence of the 5-Element God King,

the temple's highest combat power was at the God Sovereign level,

making it impossible to contend with the beast clan's two God Kings.

At the time, their only option was to activate the magic array

to preserve their remaining forces.

But now, the time had come!

With the return of the 5-Element God King,

it was the perfect moment to drive out the beast clan.

At this point, the beast clan's two God Kings had already fled,

leaving the remaining beast clan army of hundreds of thousands in disarray.

Under the combined assault of the Ink Sea God King and the 5-Element God King,

survival was nearly impossible.

With the addition of the numerous forces from the 5-Element Temple,

only a few scattered beast clan members managed to escape.

But these remnants were no longer a significant threat.

The 5-Element God King returned to the temple and began reviewing

the situation across the entire 5-Element God Realm from the past two months.

What he saw shocked him deeply.

He could never have imagined the extent of the damage.

During his absence, the 5-Element Temple had been sealed within the magic array,

cut off from any external information.

Now, the previously blocked messages poured in all at once.

The 5-Element God King began reading the reports from various regions of the God Realm,

one after another.

The more he read, the more enraged he became,

to the point of wanting to chase after the fleeing beast clan and annihilate them.

In just over a month,

more than a dozen cities had been destroyed.

This was something the 5-Element God King had never anticipated.

The 5-Element God Realm had only been established less than ten thousand years ago.

This incident was a massive blow to its foundation.

The 5-Element God King frowned deeply,

feeling that the whole situation was incredibly suspicious.

At first, he had been aware of some unrest among the beast clan,

with reports coming from the southernmost cities.

However, the 5-Element God King had dismissed it as minor beast clan skirmishes,

nothing worth worrying about.

He believed that if the beast clan launched a large-scale invasion,

the neighboring human God Kings would have no place to escape to,

making a full-scale invasion unlikely.

Thus, the 5-Element God King concluded that the beast clan's movements

were merely isolated incidents.

But then he was summoned away by the Grand Elder of the Greenwood God Realm.

During his absence, the situation escalated far beyond what he could have imagined.

About a month ago,

the beast clan seemed to have learned that the 5-Element God King

was occupied elsewhere and not within the 5-Element God Realm.

Seizing the opportunity, they launched a large-scale invasion.

Two God Kings from the beast clan

even appeared outside the 5-Element Temple itself.

Meanwhile, the rest of the beast clan, led by God Lords,

besieged and attacked other cities,

similar to the dire situation in Ascension City.

These events played out in multiple cities over the past month.

But even for the beast clan,

such coordinated movements seemed unusually swift.

Deploying two God Kings into the 5-Element God Realm at once…

Weren't the beast clan afraid of the human God Kings from other God Realms?

As the 5-Element God King pondered,

he quickly realized that something was amiss.

The behavior of the beast clan was far from normal.

It seemed as though they were targeting the 5-Element God Realm specifically,

ignoring the other God Realms entirely.

Such actions were highly suspicious.

The 5-Element God King immediately ordered an investigation

into the neighboring God Realms to see if they had experienced

similar levels of attacks.

He then pulled out a communication device,

intending to contact the Giant Mountain God King.

Suddenly, he paused,

a thought crossing his mind.

This time,

the beast clan army attacked the 5-Element God Realm…

Could it be that the Giant Mountain God Realm

had remained entirely unaffected?

The 5-Element God King glanced at his past conversations

with the Giant Mountain God King.

Their last discussion had been when the Giant Mountain God King

invited him to join a certain alliance.

At that time, the 5-Element God King was preoccupied

with covering the temple's basic expenses,

especially after paying one billion divine stones to the Grand Elder.

He had no interest in such alliances.

A calamity seemed far less urgent than Daniel's temper.

Since then, the Giant Mountain God King

had not contacted him again.

Could this be the reason

the 5-Element God Realm suffered such an attack?

The 5-Element God King dismissed the thought

and began contemplating his next steps.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Currently, the 5-Element God Realm was in a state of ruin,

but more importantly,

the temple was nearly out of income,

with divine stones running dangerously low.

Now the 5-Element God King was at a loss for what to do.

"Sigh…"

A heavy sigh echoed through the 5-Element Temple.

"Ink Sea God King, have you been to Ascension City recently?

That's where Daniel ascended."

"I have. At that time, Ascension City was on the verge of collapse,

but luckily, I arrived in time to drive the beast clan away.

It should be safe now."

"That's good. Thank you for your assistance; otherwise…"

If Daniel knew about this,

it would spell big trouble.

"This is just the beginning of the calamity,

and it's already like this…

When the calamity truly arrives, who knows what will happen?

Ink Sea God King, what do you think of relocating the southern Ascension City's portal

to a spot near the temple?"

"If we do that,

even if someone Daniel knows ascends to the God Realm,

there won't be any issues."

"Moreover, we should move the residents of the peripheral cities here as well.

The calamity is drawing near…"

The 5-Element God King frowned as he spoke.

Ink Sea God King was astonished by his boldness.

"You even considered that?

But moving so many people and resources

will consume an immense amount of divine stones!"

"Are you planning to protect the entire 5-Element God Realm on your own?"

"Exactly. The people of the 5-Element God Realm are under my rule.

It's my duty to protect them."

Ink Sea God King fell silent.

Such words were rarely heard from a God King.

Typically, a God King's role was to manage their realm,

not to protect every single resident within it.

But the 5-Element God King displayed an unparalleled sense of responsibility.

This mindset already set him far above most God Kings.

"In that case, I support you!

Let me know if you need anything. Before I left,

Daniel gave me a considerable amount of divine stones…"

"Divine stones? There's no need for that.

I still have plenty.

After all, the tens of millions of divine stones Daniel brought with him

when he ascended were a gift from me!"
