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

Only the ascension of the world could have such an effect.

However, the world's ascension didn't seem to be very successful.

It even collided directly with the God Realm.

It even turned a force into a ruin…

Even today, the chaotic rules still persist.

One can imagine how terrifying it must have been when it first collided.

All along, Daniel had been somewhat curious about what the ascension of the world was like.

The ascension of a normal mage is from the Mortal Realm to the God Realm.

But what about the ascension of the world? Does it grow on its original plane, and after reaching a certain point, does it ascend as well?

Or does it become another God Realm?

Previously, he had asked the 5 Elements God King to investigate this, but there was no clear answer.

He only knew that many of the old God King forces had been secretly working on such things.

It seemed that he would need to go and see for himself.

After all, this was something related to the ascension of the world.

If, in the future, Big White really achieved this and accidentally collided with the God Realm, it would be a huge loss.

"Tell the people behind you that I have confirmed that the matter with the dry grass is related to the ascension of the world. Also, I need to inspect the situation in person to confirm it fully."

"Understood. Please wait a moment."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Daniel had reasons he couldn't avoid.

"Sir, one month from now, Wisteria God Realm, Starfall City, Tairo Trading Guild. We will wait for you there."

After setting a time and place, the other party hurriedly cut off the communication.

Daniel left the virtual world.

This time, he had come specifically for this matter. Since it was now resolved, there was no need to stay here any longer.

He should first see where the Wisteria God Realm was located and how far the journey would be.

One month…

Since the other side had set this time, it shouldn't be far from the 5 Elements God Realm, right?

After Daniel left, three figures gathered together elsewhere.

"Did the other party agree?"

"He agreed."

"A month's time... Is that a bit too rushed?"

One person asked.

"The other party is the 5 Elements God King! I would have preferred two months, but that person might not give us so much time to prepare."

"So what if it's a God King? As long as we want to hide, he can't do anything to us!"

"Don't forget, he said that once it passes a certain time, the value of these things will drop dramatically!"

One of the women said.

"Do you believe him? That ruin has been like this for so long, how could it suddenly have a problem? I don't believe it! This must be a trick to deceive us!"

Another woman said with suspicion.

"It's indeed possible, but we can't afford to gamble anymore! I think... the time limit that person mentioned might be related to the coming catastrophe!"

The news of the breaking of the Future Mirror had spread quickly, at least among the God Kings.

Though these people weren't God Kings themselves, their strength was almost at the same level.

Unfortunately, they were still a step away from becoming God Kings.

So, they were aware of the news.

"I think the 5 Elements God King, though only a God King for a mere ten thousand years, is still a God King, and surely knows some secrets about the coming catastrophe. That's why I think we shouldn't delay anymore."

"Sigh, fine. If it weren't for the coming catastrophe, I wouldn't want to explore that ruin with a God King... If something happens, though, we're God Sovereigns, we'll be able to fight back..."

"Alright, let's think positive."

...

After Daniel left the virtual world, he received a message from the 5 Elements God King.

"Lord Daniel, I've just received some news. The Future Mirror, an original essence artifact from the God Realm, has suddenly suffered an accident, with a massive crack appearing on the mirror!"

"This is part of an old legend in the God Realm. When the Future Mirror begins to break, or even be destroyed, it signifies that great turmoil will occur in the God Realm, and even a catastrophe that could lead to its destruction!"

"I thought this was important, so I'm informing you."

The 5 Elements God King's message ended here.

Daniel thought for a moment. A catastrophe?

Interesting, he hadn't expected the God Realm to have such a legend.

He was somewhat curious about what kind of catastrophe it might be, so he simply replied with two words: "Understood."

He didn't pay attention to it further.

At this time, Elise wasn't around—she was probably off shopping in the virtual world again.

Daniel looked at the pond in the yard.

There were even a few fish swimming around.

He took out a few items from his spatial storage and sprinkled them into the water.

...

In the Crossbridge world.

In a desert to the west.

Reed was leading a group of over a dozen people, walking through the yellow sand.

Apart from some special spell beasts that could endure the harsh environment, there was almost no life here.

They had been walking for several days and nights without seeing a single soul.

"Big Brother, we seem to have been walking for a long time, but we haven't found the node."

One of Reed's followers said.

"Do you think we're going in the wrong direction?"

Hearing his follower's words, Reed replied:

"The direction is correct. This is the right way."

In fact, Reed himself had some doubts.

But as the leader of the team, he couldn't show such uncertainty.

Otherwise, the others would only become more panicked.

After all these experiences, they understood the World Tree very well.

Each world's node had a relatively fixed distance.

The nodes of the world were like an extremely intricate magic array.

The distance couldn't be wrong.

But this time, something seemed off.

Normally, they should have already found the world node by now, and successfully planted the Tree of Origin, before moving on to the next node.

But they hadn't found any trace of the node.

Not even a clue.

So…

Could they have taken the wrong direction?

At first, Reed also had such doubts.

But…

The map of the world's nodes was in his mind.

He compared the surrounding directions over and over again.

He could be sure that they hadn't made a mistake with the direction.

So why…

Was this time taking so much longer to find the node?

Could it be that the world had expanded?

But Reed buried those doubts in his heart.

Even if his followers asked him about it, he just insisted that there was no problem and they should keep moving forward.

Another day passed.

Finally, the familiar aura appeared in their perception.

The aura of the world node!

Reed broke through the space and found the node, planting the Tree of Origin there.

The direction had been correct!

But they had traveled much further this time.

The only explanation was this:

The world had changed!

Reed suddenly understood!

Why had they had to walk so far this time?

The direction was right, but the world had grown!

The world was ascending?

As he thought of this, Reed recalled what Daniel had said to them before they left.

As the tree planting continued, the world would gradually go from dying to revived, and might even have the possibility of ascension.

So, their group could encounter many unexpected situations.

Realizing this, Reed understood.

The world had indeed changed.

He plucked a lotus flower from the area and planted the Tree of Origin.

Then he put the lotus flower away.

Turning to the others, he said:

"Rest here for a while. I have some other matters to attend to…"
