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

The 5-Element God King’s laughter triggered a fierce urge in Big White to attack him. If Daniel hadn’t stopped him, Big White might have already pounced on him.

The 5-Element God King’s behavior caused the old man to frown, mistakenly thinking that the group found the price too low.

But… based on the market value, spirit beasts with purely ornamental value indeed went for such a price.

Spirit beasts themselves didn’t have particularly high market values. Only due to the beast-fighting craze in Greenwood Temple recently had combat-capable spirit beasts seen a significant increase in price.

For ornamental spirit beasts without combat abilities, the price difference was naturally substantial. Thus, the old man believed that his offer of 100,000 divine stones was already very fair.

Yet, these people seemed to think the price was still too low, which struck him as excessively greedy! Few understood the spirit beast market better than he did!

“My friends, ornamental spirit beasts are priced like this on the market. Even if you shout to the heavens, the price is only around 10,000 divine stones. My offer of 100,000 divine stones is no exaggeration,” the old man said, frowning.

Daniel smiled before responding, “The price is indeed fine, but there’s one more important thing—whether Big White is willing to go with you. That’s the key.”

“If it’s willing, then naturally, there’s no problem,” Daniel added.

He then began discussing the matter with Big White. This time, however, he communicated through telepathy rather than speaking aloud.

The girl named Cyr waited anxiously, like a student awaiting exam results. After a long while, the conversation stopped.

Cyr looked at Daniel excitedly. “So? What’s the result?”

“Alright, it agreed to go with you,” Daniel said.

“Yay!” the girl cheered, as if she had accomplished something incredible.

“Thank you, Uncle! I’ll take good care of Big White. If I have time, I’ll bring it to visit you,” Cyr said, hugging Big White as she left.

The 5-Element God King, however, watched the scene unfold with a puzzled expression.

“My lord, did you really sell Big White? And what were you two discussing privately just now?” the 5-Element God King asked.

He could hardly believe Daniel would sell Big White for 100,000 divine stones. After all…

Those 100,000 divine stones were barely pocket change to Daniel. Even a casual slip through his fingers would amount to far more than that.

So, this offer of 100,000 divine stones… it had to be a scam, right?

“My lord, you didn’t… plan to have Big White steal from them and then return, did you?”

Hearing the 5-Element God King’s ridiculous suggestion, Daniel regretted his earlier restraint. He should’ve let Big White give him a good beating instead.

With a grim face, Daniel paused before replying, “Do I seem like that kind of person? You’re making me sound so shady. Do you still want divine stones in the future?”

Hearing this, the 5-Element God King looked as if struck by lightning. Hastily, he said, “My lord! Lord Daniel! I was wrong! I shouldn’t have said such nonsense. As for divine stones… I’ll make sure to help you spend even more! The 5-Element God Realm has such a massive deficit, after all!”

“Hmph. Actually, Big White just told me that the girl not only has the ability to communicate with spirit beasts but also likely possesses a hidden talent. It went along with her to test whether it could lure her over,” Daniel explained.

The 5-Element God King immediately understood.

So, that’s the plan!

“If that’s the case, why not directly recruit… I mean, invite such a talent to join us? Judging by appearances, she likely belongs to a force that only has a God Sovereign at its peak,” the 5-Element God King said.

“It’s fine. We still have a few days left anyway. Let Big White have some fun. It doesn’t really matter,” Daniel replied.

“Frankly, listening to you two bicker every day is giving me a headache. This will give me some peace and quiet. We’ll talk about it again when we leave.”

“Hehe,” the 5-Element God King responded with a standard grin.

Cyr, holding Big White, entered the mini teleport array with the old man by her side.

“Miss, didn’t I say so? As long as we show enough sincerity, they’ll be willing to part with it,” the old man said, speaking with the tone of an experienced negotiator.

However, Cyr didn’t appreciate such tactics.

“Uncle Yorton, please don’t do this again. Just because I like something doesn’t mean I have to buy it. Simply encountering it is a wonderful experience in itself,” Cyr said.

Although Big White was now in her possession, she disliked Yorton’s approach.

“If Big White hadn’t agreed, I wouldn’t have bought it either,” she insisted.

The old man sighed helplessly, feeling a significant disconnect in their perspectives.

Big White lay quietly in Cyr’s arms, listening to the conversation between her and the old man. It made no movements, as if exhausted from speaking earlier—or perhaps lost in emotions from parting with its former master.

In reality, Big White maintained contact with Daniel throughout the journey.

Their conversations revealed many interesting details. For instance, Cyr and the old man belonged to a faction called the Spirit Beast Sect, where the girl was being groomed as the next head priestess.

The Spirit Beast Sect specialized in raising spirit beasts and growing alongside them, viewing spirit beasts as companions.

Of course, the sect’s primary income came from selling spirit beasts. Recently, with the beast-fighting craze, the prices of their spirit beasts had skyrocketed.

However…

The Spirit Beast Sect seemed dissatisfied with the current situation. They were planning to leave the Greenwood God Realm and relocate to a place akin to Shangri-La—a haven free from beast-fighting and slaughter for entertainment.

But in an era where everyone in the God Realm was preparing for the inevitable Apocalypse, such a place seemed implausible.

The 5-Element God King found it absurd. “This girl and her so-called Spirit Beast Sect are likely being deceived. How could such a place exist now?”

Especially on the eve of the Apocalypse, every faction was scrambling for survival. Accepting an external force like theirs seemed impossible.

If any faction claimed immunity from the chaos of the Apocalypse, it was undoubtedly bluffing.

Even in the central God Realms of Sun and Moon, no God King dared make such a claim. The Apocalypse would inevitably sweep through the entire God Realm, leaving no sanctuary.

Daniel, however, thought differently. Perhaps they had found a Mortal Realm unaffected by the Apocalypse.

It wasn’t impossible.

But in a Mortal Realm, only a small number of people could descend, and their primary goal would be to preserve the Spirit Beast Sect’s legacy. It would fall far short of a Shangri-La.

Moreover… who could guarantee that the Apocalypse wouldn’t affect the Mortal Realm as well?

For now, neither dwelled on the matter.

Over the next few days, thanks to Big White, Cyr frequently “coincidentally” encountered Daniel and his group. Through these repeated encounters, their relationship shifted from friendly strangers to a familiar camaraderie.

However, Uncle Yorton began to feel something was amiss. How could there be so many coincidences?
