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

"Come on, experience what it's like to ride a divine beast."

Daniel patted the unicorn beneath him as he spoke.

Bliss had a strange expression on his face and replied,

"I think I'll pass… I'd rather just walk."

Daniel didn't insist on convincing him.

And so, the two of them entered the valley in their own ways.

Freya followed behind them, her expression still odd.

At this moment, she had even forgotten about Watson,

who was still recuperating above.

Once the others had disappeared below,

Watson quickly resumed healing himself.

At the same time, he curiously asked the other disciples,

"Who was that guy down there?"

"No idea, Watson. He looks unfamiliar."

"He probably came with Bliss… Could he be Elder Holt's disciple?"

"That's possible. Looks like Elder Holt's lineage has produced another incredible figure!"

"..."

Hearing the discussion around him,

Watson's face darkened.

He never expected Bliss to bring such a monstrous talent along…

Even Freya wasn't his match!

Maybe it was best to lay low for now!

Although those people hadn't attacked him earlier,

who knew what would happen once everything here was settled?

If that mysterious disciple really was Bliss's junior…

Then Watson was in serious trouble!

Realizing this, Watson wasted no time

and hurried toward the exit of the secret realm,

hoping to escape as quickly as possible.

Down in the valley, the scene was quite different.

From above, they had been unable to see what lay below,

as if some kind of barrier had obscured the view.

But now that they were here,

they realized this place wasn't so bad.

Flowers bloomed everywhere,

and at the very center lay a shimmering lake.

Daniel could sense an incredibly dense energy of faith.

"What exactly are you doing here?"

Daniel asked Freya.

After entering the valley,

he had dismissed the unicorn.

Freya's expression darkened,

but she chose not to answer.

"Are you hoping to experience my previous technique again?"

Freya's face grew even more tense.

"Who exactly are you?

Why… why did that happen to me?"

"Don't answer a question with a question,"

Daniel replied calmly.

Under his piercing gaze,@@novelbin@@

Freya's aura weakened slightly.

Then she finally spoke:

"I found traces of the divine artifact here,

so I've been searching for it."

She then explained what had happened since she arrived.

Shortly after entering the secret realm,

she had encountered Godfrey,

the direct disciple of Thousand Suns Hall's Lord—the one Bliss had mentioned.

Both of them had aggressive tempers.

So, naturally, they had started fighting the moment they met.

However, they were evenly matched.

Neither could gain the upper hand.

Then, during their battle,

the ground beneath them cracked open,

revealing an unusual energy.

They both realized

this must be where the divine artifact was hidden.

So, they stopped fighting and came to investigate.

According to Freya's theory,

the artifact was likely at the bottom of the lake.

But the lake's surface was covered by a highly intricate magic array.

Without breaking through the array,

it was impossible to retrieve the artifact.

To prevent others from interfering,

Freya and Godfrey had made an agreement—

They would stop anyone else from entering.

That was why Freya had attacked Bliss

when he was about to step in.

"We shouldn't waste any more time here.

Right now, Godfrey is still working on breaking the magic array.

If he succeeds before us—"

Freya tried to emphasize how important the divine artifact was.

But Daniel, unfazed, simply replied,

"Oh."

Then, he asked,

"Your unicorn bloodline…

Is it inherited from your ancestors?"

Daniel had no real interest in the so-called divine artifact.

After all, he had fed Supreme Artifacts to Big White countless times.

To him,

artifacts were far less intriguing

than Freya's unicorn bloodline.

Hearing Daniel bring up bloodlines again,

Freya's expression darkened even further.

If she weren't completely outmatched,

she would have attacked him already.

"No!"

Freya snapped.

"Your ancestors didn't pass it down?

Then where did your bloodline come from?"

Freya didn't like discussing this topic.

If anyone other than Daniel had asked,

she would have already fought them.

"My ancestors had no such bloodline."

"I was raised by my mother alone.

As for where my bloodline comes from…

If you're curious,

go find the bastard who abandoned my mother and me."

Her voice was cold and detached.

Hearing this,

Daniel immediately understood.

Freya's unicorn bloodline must have come from her father.

A father who had abandoned his wife and daughter.

As for finding him…

A man who could abandon his family wouldn't be easy to track down.

At that moment,

a figure approached.

"Freya,

why are you taking so long?

Godfrey is almost at the bottom of the lake!"

A woman emerged from the water,

calling out to Freya.

But upon seeing three unfamiliar figures,

she froze.

"Dana?! You're here too?"

For the first time,

Bliss spoke up—

his tone filled with unmistakable joy.

At that moment,

Daniel finally realized Bliss's wish.

So that's what it was.

Bliss, who looked so serious and righteous…

turned out to be this kind of person!

He had actually used the wish fruit

to chase after a girl!

Now Daniel was curious—

if Bliss hadn't been able to enter the secret realm,

what would he have done?

Judging by Bliss's expression,

it was clear—

he had been secretly in love with Dana for a long time.

After a brief conversation,

Daniel understood the situation.

Dana was similar to Bliss.

She had performed well in the Enlightenment Competition

and used the opportunity to enter the secret realm.

Before Freya had left,

she had asked Dana to guard the magic array.

Now, seeing that Godfrey was nearly at the lake bottom,

Dana had come to check on Freya.

"Do you have any more questions?

I don't want to miss this opportunity,"

Freya asked impatiently.

She knew that

without Daniel's permission,

she wouldn't even be able to approach the lake. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

"Go ahead."

Daniel replied indifferently.

Hearing this,

Freya sighed in relief

and immediately dove into the lake.

Dana was about to follow when Bliss called out,

"Dana, are you really going down too?"

"I mean…

For people like us,

this kind of opportunity is far too unrealistic.

Maybe we should just wait here for the results."

Bliss suggested.

"No,

our teacher instructed me to stay by my senior sister's side

and ensure her safety."

Though Freya showed little respect for Dana,

Dana still wanted to fulfill her duty.

Just as Dana was about to enter the lake,

Daniel suddenly spoke:

"Relax.

Freya will be fine.

Because at the bottom of this lake…

There's nothing there at all."
