Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!-Chapter 353 - -Turns Out White God Rides on His Sister’s Coattails!
At this moment, Greenwood God King stood beside the 5-Element God King, watching the unfolding events and sighing with emotion.
Greenwood God Realm’s champion, though having made it to the final trial, was clearly outmatched compared to the other contestants.
The final challenge—ascending the staircase—left no room for clever tricks.
Greenwood God King had already resigned himself to the outcome.
However, he was surprised that the 5-Element God King’s daughter had chosen to withdraw from the competition entirely.
Greenwood God Realm had been among the first realms to form an alliance with the 5-Element God Realm, largely due to Daniel’s influence. Over the years, Greenwood God King and the 5-Element God King had maintained close ties.
"She’s still too young to bear such responsibility, so… let fate decide. From the start, Lily told me she wasn’t interested in vying for a Gold Board," the 5-Element God King explained.
"When I saw her participating in the trials, I was a bit worried."
The two spoke in private, their conversation shielded from external listeners.
"Ah, I’m envious of you…" Greenwood God King muttered, his gaze shifting from his realm’s struggling champion to the Crossbridge Academy representatives.
At Crossbridge Academy, an Illusion Stone broadcasted the final competition.
Elise had prepared snacks, ready to watch the show with her friends—it was always more entertaining with company.
First to arrive were Nora and the Green couple, followed by Rowan. Nina came in last.
"I didn’t miss anything important, did I?" Nina asked.
"Not really. Big White and Lily opted out of the competition, so it’s just Rose, Reed, and King Shark representing Crossbridge Academy now," Elise replied.
"I see…" Nina said, turning her attention to the Illusion Stone.
Elise, meanwhile, was engrossed in a book.
Nina glanced at it, only to be put off by the sheer amount of text.
Over the past six months, Elise had spent much of her time either cooking or reading. Even during conversations, she often had a book in hand.
"Why are they just climbing stairs? That’s so boring. It’d be way more fun if they were fighting!" Nina complained.
As if on cue, the Illusion Stone showed one of the top-tier contestants launching a surprise attack on an unsuspecting rival.
The ambushed champion was knocked down the stairs, coughing up blood and unable to continue.
With only nine Gold Boards for eighteen contestants, it was clear that half would be eliminated.
If the trial itself didn’t enforce eliminations, the participants would take matters into their own hands.
Once the first blow was struck, the atmosphere shifted.
Though the competitors had initially maintained a semblance of camaraderie, it quickly dissolved.
Still, there were exceptions—specifically the Crossbridge Academy group and Saya, who quickly banded together to form a tight-knit defense.
The next attack came from a beast clan champion, targeting Greenwood God Realm’s representative.
The unsuspecting contestant was sent flying like a broken kite, plummeting to the base of the stairs.
Fortunately, Big White was there to catch them.
Being aware of the alliance between Greenwood God Realm and the 5-Element God Realm, he saw it as his duty to intervene.
Seeing this, Greenwood God King’s eyes narrowed, his expression darkening.
While he had accepted that his realm’s champion wouldn’t claim a Gold Board, this humiliation was unacceptable.
Combat erupted across the stairs, with contestants striking at the nearest rivals.
However, unlike the initial sneak attacks, these clashes were met with heavy resistance—everyone was now on guard.
Amidst the chaos, it became clear that the real winners of this infighting were the Crossbridge Academy members.
Rose, Reed, King Shark, and Saya remained unscathed, their alliance forming an impenetrable unit.
With sixteen contestants remaining, it became apparent that the Crossbridge Academy group posed a serious threat. If left unchecked, they could claim up to four Gold Boards.
Realizing this, the remaining contestants shifted their focus.
Unanimously, their gazes turned toward the Crossbridge Academy alliance.
The first to strike were two champions from House La., targeting Rose.
Reed was off-limits due to his connection to Saya, but Rose? To them, she was fair game.
House Theseus’s champion, who had witnessed Rose’s prowess firsthand in their secret realm, wisely distanced himself from the House La. pair.
He wanted no part in their folly.
Sure enough, within moments, the two House La. champions were sent tumbling down the stairs, defeated with ease.
Their descent ended at the base of the stairs, where they encountered Big White.
"Oh, attacking my sister, huh? You’re dead!"
Big White wasted no time, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks.

Of course, being aware of Saya’s connection to House La., he held back—slightly.
"Well, I’ll leave them half-alive. They’re God Kings; they won’t die so easily," he muttered.
Even Lily joined in, eager to get some action.
Despite traveling with Big White for so long, she rarely had opportunities to fight.
Seizing the moment, she prepared a divine spell. The resulting surge of energy was so intense that Big White froze mid-punch.
Turning to Lily, he shouted, "Lily, what are you doing?"
"They attacked Rose. I’m punishing them with a divine spell," she replied calmly.
"No! If you use that here, they’ll actually die!" Big White exclaimed, sweat beading on his forehead.
"Oh, okay. I’ll use a smaller one then," Lily said, compressing the spell.
While the spell appeared smaller, its concentrated energy was even more potent.
Big White broke out in a cold sweat.
"No, no, no! Don’t use divine spells here! The palace is in the sky—it can’t handle an attack like that. Just use your fists like me. They won’t dare fight back anyway."
Meanwhile, the Illusion Stone audience was left in shock.
"That Rose… she’s so powerful! Those two House La. champions attacked first, yet she not only blocked them but sent them flying. Her strength is terrifying!"
"No kidding. But honestly, Lily is even scarier! That divine spell she was about to use… just look at how freaked out White God was!"
"Exactly! If even White God panicked, she must be incredibly strong!"
"Turns out White God only acts so cocky because he’s hiding behind his sister! If I had a sister that powerful, I’d be even more unbearable!"
