Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!-Chapter 287 - -The Mystery of Ascension

When the Apocalypse arrives, all God Realms will be destroyed except for the central Sun and Lunar God Realm, which holds a slim chance of survival.

Daniel was confident he could protect both the Five-Element God Realm and the Crossbridge World, no matter what unforeseen circumstances arose.

With his questions about the Apocalypse answered, Daniel’s focus shifted to the matter of world ascension.

This was a critical issue, as it directly impacted Big White and the entire Crossbridge World. There was no room for carelessness.

"I heard that the Greenwood God Realm has been researching world ascension, is that correct?"

The Greenwood God King’s expression hardened. Sure enough, this subject was unavoidable.

From the moment the Grand Elder had begun gathering information on the matter, the Greenwood God King had been paying attention.

But he hadn’t expected that the Grand Elder would ultimately summon the Five-Element God King, allowing them both to escape the secret realm.

This had left the Greenwood God King furious.

He had immediately ordered the capture of the two throughout the Greenwood Temple and the Greenwood God Realm.

What he hadn’t anticipated was the Five-Element God King’s abilities and the Grand Elder’s familiarity with the Greenwood Temple and the Greenwood God Realm. They had evaded capture for two months.

This only stoked the Greenwood God King’s anger further.

Finally, the Greenwood God King decided to act personally.

He had located their tracks…

Only to see an unfamiliar God King use a teleportation array to intervene just as he was about to catch them.

Out of caution, the Greenwood God King had to abandon the pursuit.

Fortunately, the Grand Elder had only uncovered information about the Level 12 Forge.

That was a small mercy.

Given more time, deeper secrets might have been exposed.

But now, the person behind it all had personally come to the Greenwood God Realm.

How could his purpose be merely to learn about the Apocalypse, something that anyone could know?

Sure enough…

After a series of questions, the topic finally circled back to world ascension.

The Greenwood God King had no choice but to respond.

Bracing himself, he answered:

"That’s correct. The Greenwood God Realm currently has two Mortal Realms, both of which meet the criteria for ascension. We’ve been assisting these worlds in their progression."

"One of them has reached God Lord rank, while the other has just recently ascended to God Sovereign rank."

Daniel was slightly surprised by this.

A God Sovereign rank world…

That was nearly the pinnacle below the God Realms.

He hadn’t expected the Greenwood God Realm to have achieved such a feat.

This visit was proving more fruitful than he had anticipated.

"I’ve heard that the process of world ascension is linked to breaking through to a rank beyond God King. Is that true?"

Hearing this, the Greenwood God King’s expression turned complex, as though unsure how to respond.

Finally, he spoke:

"That claim originates from the now-destroyed Divine Dynasty. It’s merely speculation—a theory about another way to avoid the Apocalypse."

"Given that you’re already of a rank beyond God King, you should know more about it than I do."

Daniel immediately understood why the Greenwood God King had shown such a strange expression earlier.

Because…

Daniel himself was already at a rank beyond God King. How could he not know this?

The Greenwood God King’s words were effectively saying: "You’ve already reached that level. Why are you asking me, someone who hasn’t?"

Shouldn’t you already know the answer?

But Daniel genuinely didn’t know! His breakthrough… well, let’s just say his strength had allowed him to bypass the struggles others faced.

So all he could do was silently complain to himself.

How was he supposed to know it would turn out like this?

After all this, the conversation had circled back to the Apocalypse… proving once again that rumors were unreliable.

"My breakthrough to a rank beyond God King was somewhat unique, so it can’t be generalized," Daniel explained, then asked:

"During the process of world ascension, have you encountered any anomalies or irregularities?"

This was the question Daniel cared about the most.

The Life Temple’s failure was a lesson he had not forgotten.

The Greenwood God King shook his head.

"There haven’t been any anomalies, except… the resource consumption has been quite significant."

No issues?

Daniel was puzzled.

If there were no problems, then what had happened with the Life Temple?

Could it be that the anomalies only appeared during the final stages of ascension?

Daniel speculated and asked:

"Are there any Mortal Realms in the God Realms that have successfully ascended? I mean, are there factions that have achieved this?"

Initially, Daniel recalled the Five-Element God King mentioning that no one in the God Realms had managed to achieve this.

But after speaking with the Greenwood God King, Daniel noticed a pattern:

Perspectives differed depending on one’s standing.

Compared to the Greenwood God King, the Five-Element God King was still relatively inexperienced, especially given his position in a more peripheral region.

He didn’t intentionally omit information; he simply didn’t know.

Daniel hoped the Greenwood God King might offer a different perspective.

Sure enough, when Daniel posed the question, the Greenwood God King responded immediately:

"There are indeed such cases."

As expected!

Daniel had guessed right.

Just as he suspected, the Five-Element God King’s information channels were too narrow and limited.

Until now, Daniel had thought only a superpower like the Temple of All Souls had successfully attempted ascension.

But they had ultimately failed, ascending their world only to destroy themselves in the process.

Now, hearing the Greenwood God King’s words, Daniel realized this wasn’t the whole story.

The God Realms…

"To my knowledge, in the Sun and Lunar God Realms, at least two Mortal Realms have reached God King rank," the Greenwood God King explained.

"One of these Mortal Realms is almost as vast as a God Realm itself."

"Ruling such a Mortal Realm is practically equivalent to controlling a God Realm."

"In other major regions, there may also be successful cases, but no information has been made public."

The Sun and Lunar God Realms dared to announce their success because they had the strength to back it up.

As for other regions… they lacked such confidence.

The Sun and Lunar God Realms… No wonder the prophecy claimed they were the only realms with a chance of surviving the Apocalypse.

The central God Realms were indeed exceptional.

"Do you know how these two Mortal Realms achieved ascension?"

"Did they merge with the God Realms, or did they remain independent as before?"

Hearing this, the Greenwood God King seemed puzzled and replied:

"Of course, they remained independent. They are entire worlds, after all! How could they merge with the God Realms?"

Daniel frowned at this answer.

This was different from what he had expected.

He had assumed that the final step in world ascension involved merging with the God Realms—and that the Life Temple had made a mistake during this process, resulting in their failure.

But the Greenwood God King’s response suggested otherwise.

It seemed that the final step of ascension…

Did not require merging with the God Realms at all.

So why had the Life Temple attempted to directly integrate their Mortal Realm into the God Realms?

Daniel couldn’t understand.

Logically, such a powerful faction, even possessing ancient divine spells, wouldn’t make such a foolish mistake.

Could it be that their method was a necessary step, but… they had skipped some crucial details?

Or was the Life Temple’s entire approach inherently flawed?
