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

“You’re delusional!” Yorton immediately retorted.

“That is the Spirit Beast Sect’s sacred artifact. Do you not understand? Moreover, our Spirit Beast Sect would never agree to such a thing!”

Beast fights… Watching spirit beasts engage in brutal combat was something the Spirit Beast Sect could never accept. Let alone sending the Divine Bird to fight.

“As expected, you’re stuck in the past. In that case, find your own solution,” the man said dismissively.

It was this very mindset of the Spirit Beast Sect that had led the man to leave the sect in the first place. He believed he had made the right choice.

The Spirit Beast Sect was wrong!

Look at the current beast-fighting craze—wasn’t everyone enjoying it?

“Hmph!” Yorton snorted coldly before leaving the room with Cyr.

“Take care,” the man said, turning back to his seat and resuming his snack.

Just as he started to eat, Cyr suddenly turned around and re-entered the room.

“What you just said—is it true?” Cyr asked, staring at the man.

“What?”

“You said winning a beast fight would allow us to use the teleport array to reach the 5-Element God Realm.”

“Of course! Though I don’t care much for the Spirit Beast Sect, I am a man of my word. If you win a few matches, there will be no issue. However…” The man looked regretfully at the small bird perched atop Cyr’s head. “I meant you should find a mature spirit beast from your sect…”

“No, the one fighting won’t be it. It’ll be Big White,” Cyr declared, lifting Big White from her arms.

“?”

The man froze for a moment, unsure how to react.

What could he even say?

It was as if he’d asked for a mature Divine Bird or at least a powerful spirit beast suited for combat… and instead was handed this?

What the heck was this little thing?

This small creature, about the size of a puppy, couldn’t possibly do anything!

This was a beast fight, not a competition for cuteness or obedience.

Was she kidding?

After some time, Cyr emerged from the room, still holding Big White.

Yorton, waiting outside, said, “Let’s go. It seems there’s no hope for now. We should return to the Spirit Beast Sect.”

Just as they were about to leave earlier, Cyr had asked him to wait, claiming she had a solution for reaching the 5-Element God Realm.

Yorton had been skeptical. What solution could Cyr possibly have?

When she finally came out, he still wasn’t hopeful. After all, what could Cyr possibly do when even he had no options?

The Spirit Beast Sect would never allow beast fights.

“Uncle Yorton, he agreed! Tomorrow morning, we’re heading to the Ultimate Beast Arena,” Cyr said cheerfully.

“???”

Yorton’s mind was full of question marks.

Why had the man agreed?

And… what would Cyr use for the fight?

The young Divine Bird?

Noticing Yorton’s confusion, Cyr explained, “Big White! He agreed to let Big White participate in the fight.”

Hearing this, Yorton felt a wave of dizziness.

Big White…

Sure, it was purchased for 100,000 divine stones, but it was nowhere near a combat-capable spirit beast!

Especially…

Looking at Big White’s tiny limbs, it seemed like it would be devoured in one bite.

What baffled him even more was that the man had agreed to this!

Agreed to let Big White fight?

Yorton felt like the world was going mad. Had he truly grown too old, too outdated to understand?

“Uncle Yorton, we need to go!” Cyr said, hugging Big White as she headed forward.

Yorton followed in a daze, unsure of what he was doing.

Meanwhile, back in the room, the young man sat, staring in disbelief at the direction Cyr had gone.

His lips were tinged with blood, and his eyes were filled with shock.

What had just happened?

If his memory wasn’t failing him, the little white beast had suddenly darted over and kicked him…

The next thing he knew, his body had been hurled backward, slamming heavily against the wall.

What the hell just happened?

The young man couldn’t comprehend it.

The small white beast had looked so adorable, completely non-threatening—a creature meant for ornamental purposes!

How could it possibly possess such overwhelming power?

That kick alone… its strength must have been at the Earth God rank!

In a luxurious inn, the 5-Element God King sat in a daze, struggling to process the news he had just heard from Daniel.

Daniel had told him that the so-called “Shangri-La” that Cyr and her Spirit Beast Sect sought was none other than the 5-Element God Realm.

Just a day ago, the 5-Element God King had confidently declared that, on the eve of the Apocalypse, such a Shangri-La was impossible. They must have been deceived!

How could such a place exist?

Yet, it turned out that their so-called Shangri-La was his 5-Element God Realm?!!

How could that be?

The 5-Element God Realm was far from being any kind of Shangri-La. Just a few years ago, it had emerged from the chaos of the Beast Clan war and was still in the early stages of recovery and development.

What right did he have to be considered a Shangri-La?

Hearing this, the 5-Element God King’s mind went blank, and his expression grew increasingly complicated.

“Perhaps, Cyr and her faction truly believe that a place advocating equality among all races, where a God King would marry a Beast Clan God King, is their idea of Shangri-La. At the very least, it’s better than a realm that forces spirit beasts to kill each other for entertainment,” Daniel said, looking at the conflicted 5-Element God King.

At that moment, the 5-Element God King’s eyes reflected a mixture of hesitation, struggle, and hope.

“Lord Daniel, do you think… do you think I’m truly worthy of their expectations?”

“Do you think I can live up to their belief in the 5-Element God Realm as an ideal place? Am I capable of that?”

The 5-Element God King seemed to be asking Daniel, but in truth, he was asking himself.

Could he truly make all races, all people, content?

“You’re working toward that goal, aren’t you? As long as you’re willing to try, you can achieve it,” Daniel said.

“Yes! I can do it! I can live up to their expectations!” the 5-Element God King said, a determined light flashing in his eyes.

At the Ultimate Beast Arena:

This was the so-called Ultimate Beast Arena, named for its top-tier facilities and high-quality beast fights. Ordinary spirit beasts couldn’t even qualify to enter.

Every spirit beast allowed to fight here was immensely powerful.

“Damn that Greenwood God King!”

The 5-Element God King cursed as he found their seats and sat down.

The fights hadn’t started yet, but that didn’t stop the 5-Element God King from ranting.

Since arriving at the Greenwood Temple, his most frequently uttered phrase had been cursing the Greenwood God King.

“Just a beast arena, and they charge tens of thousands of divine stones for entry? That bastard is raking it in! If I had this kind of talent, I’d be swimming in wealth by now!”

“No, this needs to go on the list!” Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Saying this, the 5-Element God King pulled out a piece of paper and began jotting things down.

Not just the arena.

A quick glance at the paper showed a detailed record of every expense incurred since entering the Greenwood Temple, starting with the entry fee.

Though he hadn’t spent the divine stones himself, he meticulously noted everything.

After all, when it came time to cause trouble, a well-documented list would make his case all the stronger.

As the 5-Element God King saw it, his actions were entirely for the public good!

This wasn’t about personal grievances—definitely not!
