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

Daniel hadn't expected the other party to say such words.

Just moments ago, they had been thoroughly beaten by him, and now they wanted to invite him to form an alliance with the Court of Divine King...

This was the God Realm for you!

In the eyes of these upper-echelon figures,

being injured and having their discovered ruin taken from them wasn't a big deal.

As long as there was mutual benefit, anyone could become an ally.

"We'll see. I have other matters to attend to,"

Daniel said as he led his group toward the treasure chamber.

The god king sighed softly.

After all, the other party had declined their offer.

But it wasn't entirely surprising—after all, they had previously offended Daniel with harsh words.

Another god king approached and asked, "How did it go?"

"I failed. He didn't agree, but it's understandable."

"Well, there's no helping it. We'll just have to wait for another opportunity—if we even get one."

"What exactly did he say? Did he outright reject us, or…?"

"He didn't directly reject us. He just said he had other matters to deal with and that we'd talk later."

"He didn't outright refuse... so that means we might still have a chance, doesn't it?"

"Perhaps."

With a calamity looming over the God Realm,

the Court of Divine King was desperate to find a way to protect themselves.

This was why they had been scouring ruins,

hoping to find methods or tools to weather the coming disaster.

Unfortunately, they would no longer be able to explore the Life Temple ruins,

because Daniel's overwhelming strength had been indelibly etched into their memories.

If they could recruit this powerful figure,

their chances of surviving the calamity would surely improve.

But since Daniel had declined their invitation,

it was a missed opportunity.

"Let's leave. There's no point staying here any longer. But this individual would make an excellent ally… I noticed earlier that none of our disciples outside were harmed; they were merely immobilized."

This powerful figure clearly refrained from harming anyone.

He seemed to have a good temperament.

If they could recruit him, it would be fantastic.

"Let's go. There are still other ruins waiting for us to explore."

"Who knows, maybe we'll encounter him again at one of those ruins!"

Meanwhile, Daniel and his group reached the entrance of the treasure chamber.

This time, they were in no rush.

They first scoured the surrounding areas, collecting all resources and items they could find, before heading into the chamber.

The chaotic turbulence inside had already been partially neutralized by the four god kings earlier.

Of course, even without their efforts, it wouldn't have hindered Daniel's progress.

The situation here was far more severe than at the book vault,

as this was a central area of the ruins, naturally much more complex.

The first and second floors of the treasure chamber were mostly destroyed.

On the third floor, only a handful of treasures remained intact.

After collecting those, Daniel and his group entered the fourth floor.

The fourth floor was in better condition than the third.

The fifth floor, much like the fifth floor of the book vault, contained many valuable items.

In fact,

due to the presence of numerous Supreme Artifacts imbued with the power of rules,

this floor was far more intact than the others.

Daniel scanned the room and found that most of the Supreme Artifacts here were infused with the power of rules and were far superior to any he had seen before.

With these, he wouldn't need to worry about Big White going hungry once it woke up.

Two items in the room stood out the most.

One was a red furnace, and the other a white bottle.

These two artifacts were placed in the most prominent positions,

with the other Supreme Artifacts arranged around them like stars encircling a moon.

Daniel used his mind power to probe the two artifacts.

The red furnace was reminiscent of a world forge,

and its information unfolded in Daniel's mind:

Incineration Furnace: Capable of melting all tangible and intangible matter,

transforming it into the purest power of rules to nurture a world.

After reading this description, Daniel was momentarily stunned.

He immediately understood why the Life Temple had attempted world ascension.

With the Primordial Divine Spell and the Incineration Furnace,

who wouldn't be tempted?

The Primordial Divine Spell could create,

while the Incineration Furnace could nurture.

Even an ordinary world, with such tools, would undoubtedly have a chance at ascension.

But it seemed the Life Temple had failed in the end due to issues with the rules.

This furnace, however, might be perfect for preparing food for Big White—it could make meals even more delicious, given its nurturing properties.

Daniel decided to see if Elise could make use of it later.

Next, Daniel turned his attention to the white bottle.

Bottle of Life: Contains primordial essence that can help beings break through their limitations and ascend to higher life forms.

Daniel examined the life elixir inside the bottle.

After a quick analysis, he understood its properties.

The life elixir could assist beings in breaking through levels.

It wasn't a means to forcibly enhance someone's power,

but rather a way to provide the final push when someone was on the verge of ascending.

It was an incredibly valuable treasure.

For example, the three god sovereigns who had guided them here—

if they consumed the life elixir, they could likely break through to god king rank in the near future.

The "chance to become a god king" they mentioned earlier was undoubtedly referring to this life elixir.

Now, after countless years of accumulation,

the bottle contained a vast quantity of life elixir.

For Arya and the others, each would only need a single drop to ascend to god king rank.

In fact, Daniel could easily use the elixir to recruit other god sovereigns on the cusp of becoming god kings, gaining their loyalty and rapidly building a contingent of god kings.

Meanwhile, Arya and the others were waiting anxiously on the fourth floor for Daniel to return.

In the earlier floors,

they hadn't found anything that could help them break through.

This meant the opportunity they sought was likely on the fifth floor—

but only Daniel could enter it.

The terrifying rule of Chaos there barred them from proceeding.

The three were hopeful that if Daniel obtained the treasures,

he might reward them with a chance to ascend,

given their efforts over the past few days.

But this all depended on Daniel's decision.

If he refused, they had no recourse.

Their hearts were filled with unease.

Meanwhile, the Ink Sea God King, entirely at ease, stood nearby.

He had already fully committed himself to being Daniel's subordinate,

so he wasn't worried in the slightest.

Watching the three younger ones squirm with anxiety like ants on a hot pan was amusing to him.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

At that moment, Daniel emerged from the fifth floor.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He approached the three anxious individuals and tossed three bottles to them.

Each bottle contained three drops of life elixir.

A single drop was enough to allow each of them to ascend to god king rank,

but Daniel generously gave them two additional drops each.

This was his way of thanking them for their guidance and assistance in collecting Divine Dynasty relics.

"Lord Daniel, this is…"

"Your reward for your efforts along the way. Also, this is enough for you to ascend to god king rank."
