Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!-Chapter 442 - -The Gatekeeper

According to Daniel’s previous speculation, this necro outbreak might be caused by Rose.

But… to cause so many deaths for the sake of a plan…

What exactly was she trying to do?

"I don’t know much about that… But that battle back then seemed a bit suspicious. If Lord Daniel returns to Crossbridge Academy, you should be able to get clearer information."

Daniel nodded.

He didn’t ask further.

It seemed that Randy only had a vague understanding.

He probably knew even less than Icarus.

In that case, the only option Daniel had now was to increase his strength first and then personally find Rose for answers.

Daniel led Alice toward the main body of the Tree of Origin.

Along the way, Alice didn’t chatter as usual. Instead, she seemed deep in thought.

"Big brother, your status… should be very powerful, right?"

Along the way, first there were those three holy lords, then this city lord, and even the Divine Tree was so affectionate toward him…

Alice wasn’t a fool; she could naturally see the significance of all this.

"Yes, I told you a little about it before, didn’t I?"

"But… but I don’t understand. Why would someone as powerful as you insist on keeping me by your side?"

Alice asked in confusion.

Logically speaking, she should have been settled somewhere safe, just like Freya or Sark.

Rather than staying by Daniel’s side all the time.

Hearing Alice’s question, Daniel fell silent for a moment.

Because he didn’t know how to answer.

After all…

Even he hadn’t fully figured it out yet!

"I suppose there must be a reason, right? Big brother, can you tell me?"

"Alright. The truth is, I sensed a familiar aura on you, but I don’t know exactly who it belongs to, so I wanted to find out."

Hearing Daniel’s answer, Alice showed no emotional reaction.

It was as if…

She accepted it very easily.

After a while, Alice spoke on her own:

"Actually… sometimes, I feel strange too. It’s like I’m someone else… but still myself…"

"Alright, don’t think too much about it now. Focus on getting stronger—you’ll find the answer eventually!"

…

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had gone by.

Over the past ten years, a massive influx of people had entered Crossbridge World.

Fortunately, Crossbridge World had managed these populations efficiently, preventing any major incidents.

However…

During these ten years, necro outbreaks had started appearing in even more worlds.

This gave people a growing sense of unease.

As if a new catastrophe was brewing in the God Realm.

A storm was coming.

But to Randy, this was nothing to be anxious about.

At this moment, he was as steady as a mountain.

Because he knew—that man had returned.

As for these so-called crises, in his presence, they were utterly insignificant!

However, before going into seclusion, that man had specifically instructed him not to reveal his return to others.

So Randy had kept this secret buried in his heart.

Seeing others panic about the situation, Randy not only remained calm but even found it amusing.

"How are things now?"

While drinking tea, Randy suddenly heard a voice.

"Greetings, Lord Daniel! My lord, have you emerged from seclusion?"

After ten years, Randy once again sensed that aura from Daniel.

That aura of… absolute control over everything!

"And… fully returned?"

Daniel smiled and said:

"This is all thanks to the Tree of Origin. If not for it, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly."

Now, Daniel had likely reached the limits of the new God Realm.

Although he wasn’t as strong as when he had extracted all his mana, to the point where the entire universe could no longer contain him—

He wasn’t weak either.

"Congratulations, Lord Daniel! I will prepare a feast to celebrate your return!"

"There’s no need for that. This time, I’ve come to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?"

"Yes. Now, I should head to the academy and figure out what’s going on!"

Randy nodded.

"And that little girl…"

"It’s fine, don’t worry about her. Let her stay with the Tree of Origin."

Daniel said as he left.

Now, he had to find out what was really happening.

…

"You, what are you doing?"

"I’ve long heard of this academy’s great reputation, so I came to take a look…"

"Register!"

The middle-aged man said coldly.

The young man quickly filled out the form.

The middle-aged man glanced at it and then said:

"In the age section, did you write this wrong?"

"No, I just turned fifty this year!"

The young man replied.

"Hmph! Kid, do you really have the nerve to fake your age? Fifty? I can tell at a glance that you’re over two hundred years old! Go fix it! Or get lost."

The young man sighed and obediently corrected his age before handing the form back.

"Alright, you can go in. You’ve got fifteen minutes. Once fifteen minutes are up, the magic array will activate and eject you."

"Thank you."

The young man said before quickly entering.

The middle-aged man sat back in his chair, waiting for the next person.

Just then, a small figure walked over.

"Grandpa!"

"Granddaughter, what brings you here?"

"Can’t you change jobs?"

"What do you mean?"

"Yesterday, several girls in my class found out you work as a gatekeeper here… and they said some things I really didn’t like!"

The little girl said with a grievance.

"It’s fine. Don’t worry about what they say. Class doesn’t determine worth! Just focus on doing your best!"

"But…"

"Alright, tell me properly—who dared to say such things? Looks like some people in this academy need their attitudes corrected!"

"It was those…"

The little girl rattled off several names.

The middle-aged man nodded.

"Got it. Tomorrow, I’ll have their parents take them home for a proper lesson."

"Really?"

The little girl was skeptical.

After all, her grandfather was just a gatekeeper.

Could he really do that?

"Don’t worry! Your grandpa can do anything! This is nothing!"

"When I was young, I was—"

The middle-aged man was about to brag when suddenly a voice interrupted:

"5-Element, you bastard, are you… guarding the gate now?"

The 5-Element God King’s expression immediately turned furious.

Couldn’t they see he was in the middle of boasting—

Wait!

When he turned to look at the person who had interrupted him, his eyes widened in shock!

Because no matter how much he tried to convince himself otherwise—

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

"You… you’re…"

"Holy shit!!!"

"Big brother!!! You’re not dead?!"

"…"

Sophia looked at the young man with a puzzled expression.

Why did he look so much younger than her grandfather?

As Sophia curiously observed Daniel, Daniel was also observing her.

"5-Element is your grandfather?"

"Yes."

"In that case, you should call me grandfather too."

"Really? But big brother, you don’t look old at all."

Sophia said, confused.

"Hahaha…"

Daniel chuckled.

"Because if we go by relationships, Lily should be your aunt, right? And she’s my daughter-in-law. So what should you call me?"

"Oh, hello, grandpa!"

Sophia quickly corrected herself.

At that moment, the 5-Element God King personally carried over a cup of tea.

"How about it? Sophia is Old Five’s daughter—adorable, right?"

The 5-Element God King proudly said as he looked at his granddaughter.

"You sure have… quite a few children?"

"More or less. Besides Lily, I’ve got six or seven others!"

The 5-Element God King boasted.

Then, turning to the little girl, he said:

"Sophia, go play for a bit. Grandpa has something to discuss."

The little girl left.

The 5-Element God King then looked at Daniel—

Tears streaming down his face!
