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

"Yes, Lord Daniel!"

Hearing Daniel's words, Icarus breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, there are still some areas in Artisan's Sanctuary that need improvement…"

Daniel then proceeded to give Icarus several suggestions for improvements.

Icarus carefully noted down the key issues Daniel pointed out, one by one.

After finishing, Daniel turned his gaze to Kaylyn.

Kaylyn immediately straightened up, showing a serious expression, indicating that she was listening intently to Daniel's advice.

"There's no need to be so serious. We've all walked this journey together."

"In fact, I stayed at Thousand Suns Hall for over two months and spent… probably more than a year in Blue Jade Guild."

"Both the atmosphere and the environment were quite good. You've done well."

"And the cauldron and the sword scar restoration were handled excellently."

"Lord Daniel overpraises me. These were all thanks to the elders in the sanctuary."

"Now that you've left Blackwater City, who is managing it now?"

Daniel turned to Kaylyn and asked.

Kaylyn seemed slightly puzzled, as if she hadn't expected Daniel to ask this question. After a brief pause, she answered:

"It should be someone under a Five-Element God King, named Gabriel."

Hearing this name, Daniel recalled who he was.

He was the former city lord of Ascension City.

A decent person.

Very responsible.

Since that was the case, Daniel didn't concern himself further.

After all, these matters were beyond his control now.

After all, Daniel… was just an Earth God now.

Then, Daniel turned his gaze toward Cyr.

Cyr immediately lowered her head, avoiding Daniel's gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Why… are you so afraid of me? Did you do something you shouldn't have?"

"I… I just didn't manage the Spirit Beasts properly…"

Cyr muttered with her head lowered.

"I remember your wish was to find a peaceful place where Spirit Beasts could thrive. Has that wish come true?"

"It… it should have…"

Cyr hesitantly answered.

"If not, it's fine. I believe you'll achieve it eventually."

In the pavilion, the four of them talked for a long time.

At first, all three were extremely nervous—after all, this was Daniel!

Even though his current strength was only Earth God Rank,

who could possibly ignore him?

But as they kept talking, reminiscing about the past,

the three of them gradually relaxed.

Then, Cyr started complaining about all the things Kaylyn had done over the years.

As they discussed the development of the sanctuary, various conflicts between the three were brought up.

Soon, their conversation turned into a heated debate.

Daniel simply sat back, watching the scene unfold with amusement.

It was quite entertaining.

It wasn't until nightfall that the three finally ended their discussion.

Seeing them argue like this was truly interesting.

"Lord Daniel, what are your plans next?"

Icarus asked.

"Of course, I need to continue improving my own strength. Right now, I'm just an Earth God."

"Once my strength is sufficient, I will go see what Rose and Reed are up to."

Although Daniel wasn't too worried about them, he still wanted to know what exactly they were planning.

"Why not come to Artisan's Sanctuary? I've built a Trial Tower there, which is perfect for training and leveling up."

Icarus was the first to suggest.

"Give me a break! When it comes to power advancement, nothing beats my place. Lord Daniel's breakthrough Secret Realm was merely a cauldron's fragment, imagine what the main body could offer!"

Kaylyn immediately countered.

"You two are ridiculous. A Trial Tower is for combat training—does Lord Daniel need that? Your cauldron is for comprehending rules. My place, with Spirit Beasts, is far better!"

Cyr joined the competition as well.

"Alright, alright, you three are far too old to be fighting like this."

"By the way, where exactly is Rose's sword scar?"

"Lord, Miss Rose's sword scar is located not far from White Lotus Sanctuary."

Kaylyn quickly answered.

"Alright, then we'll go there. Also, I heard that due to Rose's sword strike, that place is inaccessible to anyone below Earth God Rank, is that true?"

"Yes, Lord Daniel, you're correct. Anyone below Earth God Rank will meet certain death if they enter! Miss Rose's sword was terrifying, filled with the aura of destruction, making it impossible for ordinary beings to withstand."

"We three have spent thousands of years working to contain the power of that sword scar."

Hearing this, Daniel nodded.

It seemed his earlier assumption was correct—Rose had indeed used her full strength when she unleashed that sword strike.

"With my current strength, entering shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Of course, there's no issue. I can take you through it safely!"

"Then let's go. I want to see what's really going on there."

With that, Daniel stood up.

The group left the pavilion.

Outside, Edwin and the others had been guarding the area the entire time.

After all, three Holy Lords were inside.

And, of course, Alice was also there.

At this moment, Alice, who had just become an Earth God, seemed to have fallen asleep.

Daniel woke her up and asked if she wanted to accompany him to the sanctuary.

Alice agreed immediately without hesitation.

Although she wasn't the brightest, she definitely knew how important the sanctuary was.

Not going would be foolish!

The reason Daniel brought Alice was that he still wanted to figure out why she felt so familiar to him.

After that, Daniel returned to where he had been staying.

By now, after a year, the Blue Jade Guild's assessment had ended.

Daniel learned from Elder Marin that Thousand Suns Hall had performed well in the assessment.

Freya had even been promoted to Core Apprentice.

When Daniel wanted to meet Freya, Elder Marin told him that she had left Blue Jade Guild six months ago.

Moreover, she had left a letter for Daniel.

Daniel opened the letter.

In it, Freya explained why she had to leave suddenly.

She had uncovered information about the man who abandoned her and her mother.

So, she set out on a journey to track him down.

She also mentioned that Daniel had previously expressed curiosity about her Unicorn Bloodline, so she left this letter behind.

"Do you know where she went?"

Daniel asked Elder Marin.

"A place called Storm City."

"Storm City… How far is it from the sanctuary?"

Daniel turned to Kaylyn.

"It's on the way to White Lotus Sanctuary. Not far. We can stop by."

"Then let's head to Storm City first."

Daniel said.

A luxurious and massive flying ship took off from Blue Jade Guild, heading toward Storm City.

This was the exclusive ship of White Lotus Sanctuary.

"Wow! This thing is huge! And these seats are super comfortable! Big bro, look at this—it even lets you see the ground below!"

"This ship is way too comfy. If only I could ride it every day!"

Alice was fascinated by everything on the ship, running around to examine every new feature.

"If you like it so much, I'll ask them to let you pilot the ship from now on. How about that?"

Daniel looked at Alice and teased.

"Uh… l-let's not go that far. I was just talking big…"

Alice quickly backed down.

Meanwhile, Icarus and Cyr were discussing the ship itself.

Icarus pointed out flaws in its offensive and defensive systems.

Cyr, on the other hand, felt the ship lacked artistic beauty and elegance.

The two of them nitpicked endlessly.

Daniel looked at them and said:

"Alright, from now on, you two are in charge of this ship. Before we reach Storm City, make it meet your own standards."
