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

After Daniel spoke, the others stared at him in astonishment.

They couldn't believe it!

The Mortal Realm?

How could a being above the God King rank possibly come from the Mortal Realm?

God King-level Mortal Realms were rare, and only a handful of forces possessed such realms.

But even in those realms, someone like Daniel was unheard of.

A God Sovereign? A God Lord?

Impossible!

Crossbridge World…

They had never even heard of it.

It was likely not even a High God-level realm, and yet it had produced a being as terrifying as Daniel, who surpassed the God King rank.

Who could believe such a thing?

"How… How are you so powerful?"

La asked in disbelief.

Hearing the question, Daniel smiled and replied:

"Honestly, that's something I've always wondered about myself."

In fact, Daniel had searched for clues about the mysterious library within himself but had found no answers. Even the library defied his understanding.

After Daniel's response, the group fell into a contemplative silence.

To become a being above the God King rank was a feat reserved for the most exceptional individuals.

And those present were the crème de la crème of the God Realm.

To others, they were the ones to be envied.

But today…

They found themselves envying Daniel.

It was almost enough to make them grit their teeth.

"Perhaps it's because the Apocalypse is approaching. When it descends, it's natural for unexpected phenomena to occur," La remarked, his tone steady.

Among the group, his temperament was the most composed, likely due to his age and experience.

"Perhaps."

For now, they could only attribute it to the looming Apocalypse.

"There's another matter. Earlier, I heard that God King mention the 'current God Realm.' Does that mean there was a previous God Realm? What's the difference?"

Daniel asked, glancing at the group.

It was his first time hearing such terminology, which had prompted him to reveal himself in search of answers.

However, before he could extract the memories he sought, La's voice transmission had interrupted him.

Hearing Daniel's question, the group's expressions turned heavy, and they sighed in unison, as if a burden had been lifted.

Finally, La answered:

"Your question confirms that you truly are from the Mortal Realm. If you were from the God Realm, someone at your level would already know these things."

Daniel frowned, puzzled.

"The current God Realm… has long reached its limit. We, the rulers of the God Realm, are that limit. It is impossible for another being of our level to emerge."

Still confused, Daniel pressed further.

La continued his explanation:

"In the beginning, when the world was born, a rare and special material emerged. Only with this material could beings of our rank—the rulers—come into existence.

"But during the era of the Divine Dynasty, this material was almost entirely consumed. Now, in the current God Realm, only we remain. Another being like us cannot emerge—except for you."

La's explanation brought clarity to Daniel.

It turned out the limitations of the God Realm itself were responsible.

Due to the scarcity of that special material, it was nearly impossible for another being of ruler-level strength to appear.

But Daniel was an anomaly, transcending the limits of this world.

This was why his existence seemed so extraordinary.

Yet…

Daniel felt as if there was still untapped potential within him.

If he fully unleashed it…

What rank would he reach?

Daniel couldn't say for sure.

Perhaps…

It would be like his experience in the Crossbridge World—where he couldn't return.

And this time, he might find himself rejected by the God Realm altogether.

"So, currently, the so-called rulers… it's just the four of you?"

Daniel asked, looking at the group.

"That's correct. Including you, that makes five," La replied.

At that moment, Audrey interjected:

"But beyond the sky, there are more!"

Beyond the sky?

Which beyond the sky was she referring to?

Daniel was confused.

Weren't they already in the chaos beyond the God Realm?

What other "beyond the sky" could there be?

"Are you saying the Apocalypse descending upon the God Realm is coming from 'beyond the sky'?"

If the Apocalypse and the idea of "beyond the sky" were related, Daniel could begin to understand.

The chaos surrounding them didn't seem peaceful.

It appeared these ruler-level beings weren't here to avoid something but rather to monitor something.

"Do you know about the destruction of the Divine Dynasty?"

Audrey continued.

"The destruction of the Divine Dynasty… I've been investigating it, but I've found no results."

Daniel thought of the Star Map, which he had long been searching for but was still missing two fragments of.

The fact that Audrey brought up the destruction of the Divine Dynasty likely meant it was connected to the Apocalypse originating from "beyond the sky."

And if the Divine Dynasty had accurately predicted the Apocalypse, did that mean the dynasty's destruction was tied to this "beyond the sky" Apocalypse?

Daniel quickly pieced it together. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

Audrey's subsequent words confirmed his theory:

"Over the years, we've uncovered some clues. During its reign, the Divine Dynasty ruled over countless worlds and fought a terrifying force across them all."

"We now believe that this force is the Devil of Chaos."

Hearing this, Daniel nodded.

The Devil of Chaos…

He wasn't unfamiliar with it, having read about it before.

These beings were gods born of chaos, innately powerful.

Their existence predated even the creation of worlds.

And now…

These four rulers regarded them as real threats.

"So, the Devil of Chaos destroyed the Divine Dynasty?"

For the Divine Dynasty to leave such dire warnings, the Devils of Chaos must have been terrifying indeed.

However, when Daniel voiced his conjecture, the others shook their heads.

"They were possibly involved, but we can't be certain. If the Devils of Chaos had destroyed the Divine Dynasty, the God Realm would have become their dwelling place long ago," La explained.

But that hadn't happened.

The God Realm was still ruled by humans.

"Our investigations revealed that the Divine Dynasty was indeed waging war against the Devils of Chaos. Evidence of this can be found across the worlds. Moreover, after the Divine Dynasty disappeared, the Devils of Chaos also vanished inexplicably."

"So while the Devils of Chaos are undoubtedly connected to the Divine Dynasty's demise, it's unclear if they were directly responsible," Audrey clarified.

Daniel nodded in understanding.

There was a connection, but it wasn't absolute.

At this moment, Daniel recalled something from the Crossbridge World:

The story told by the old oracle.

The tale began with a war between gods and demons.

If he connected it to the current events…

It seemed clear: the so-called gods and demons were actually the Divine Dynasty and the Devils of Chaos.

The story ended with the growth and decline of the Crossbridge World, but the god-demon war was left unresolved.

How could such a massive conflict simply vanish without a trace?

The only explanation was that both sides disappeared at a specific moment in time.
