Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!-Chapter 368 - -Another Choice
After losing his composure, the Creator God attempted to strike at Daniel.
But in doing so, He provoked the higher-dimensional beings watching over Him.
Those countless eyes were proof of their presence.
In His anger, the Creator God had revealed His greatest vulnerability to Daniel.
From Daniel’s perspective, it was clear that the Creator God couldn’t harm him.
The higher beings observing the Creator God wouldn’t allow Him to act recklessly.
"Let’s talk, Daniel,"
The Creator God said for the first time, initiating a conversation.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Knowing the Creator God had limitations, Daniel’s confidence surged.
"The new God Realm has been fully rebuilt. As the agent, you’ve fulfilled your purpose. I don’t want you interfering with the natural development of this world anymore,"
The Creator God stated.
"That’s simple. Give me a way to ascend to your dimension, and I’ll leave this world alone."
Daniel replied without hesitation.
But the Creator God immediately responded:
"No. I cannot do that. It’s beyond my power."
"In that case, I’ll stay here. I’ll guide this world in whatever direction I see fit—depending, of course, on my mood."

Daniel said, his tone tinged with defiance.
The Creator God fell silent for a moment before finally speaking:
"You may propose your terms."
"Terms?"
Hearing this, Daniel began to consider.
What would he truly want at this point?
Daniel now stood at the pinnacle of the universe.
There was no one stronger than him.
The Crossbridge Academy and Crossbridge World were thriving, and many had even become Sovereigns.
There was no immediate danger or pressing issue to resolve.
What, then, could he possibly ask for?
After some thought, Daniel answered:
"You must leave this world entirely and never interfere with it again. If you can do that, I’ll disappear too."
To live free of interference, to be the master of their own destiny—
That was likely the dream of countless beings.
The Creator God was silent for a long while before finally replying:
"Very well. Now that the world has reached this level of completeness, I can leave forever and cease to interfere."
"You won’t go back on your word?"
"With those watchers behind me, I couldn’t go back on it even if I wanted to."
"That’s good. Though, honestly, it seems like I have no choice but to trust you,"
Daniel said with a wry smile.
"If I were to stay like this much longer, I’d probably grow bored anyway."
Daniel, after all, had become unimaginably powerful.
Aside from observing the new God Realm, there was little left for him to do.
Ever since coming to this world, Daniel had always been invincible,
Facing every challenge with overwhelming strength.
Wealth? He had more than he could ever count.
In truth, he had already lost some of the joy of achieving things.
"Alright, then. Let’s both leave this world. Everyone’s happy."
As Daniel finished speaking, he noticed that some of the watching eyes shifted their focus to him,
While others remained fixed on the Creator God.
After a long silence, the Creator God spoke again:
"I can offer you two choices now.
"First, as we discussed: I leave, you disappear, and this world ends for both of us. It would be a perfect conclusion.
"Second, I leave, but you can choose another way to continue your story. However, your current power and wealth will not remain."
Hearing this, Daniel fell into deep thought.
He hadn’t expected to be presented with such an option.
This second path would mean losing all his strength and wealth,
But he could return to the God Realm in a new form.
Wouldn’t that mean he might have the chance to see Rose, Big White, Nina, and the others again?
"I need more details about the second option. What does it entail?"
Daniel asked.
"Rebirth,"
The Creator God explained slowly.
"To avoid disrupting the natural flow of this new world, your rebirth may happen far in the future. The minimum time span would be a million years."
Hearing this, Daniel asked:
"A million years later… would Rose and the others still exist?"
"I don’t know. Once the universe develops on its own, everything becomes uncertain.
By then, the world you created may still be thriving under your followers’ rule,
Or the entire new God Realm may have been destroyed. The probabilities are equal."
"Now, make your choice."
After delivering these words, the Creator God waited silently for Daniel’s decision.
"If I choose the second path, will the knowledge I gained from the library—Chronicles of Creation—still remain?"
"Yes. That knowledge will stay with you. But your strength and other possessions will not."
Daniel nodded.
Even without that knowledge, it wouldn’t have mattered much.
He had already acquired enough understanding while compiling Genesis.
A million years…
Neither too long nor too short.
Anything could happen in that time.
What if, upon his rebirth, those he cherished were no longer there?
What would that future look like?
But…
Rose, Big White, Nina, Elise…
They were all waiting for him.
They were the ties that bound his heart.
"I’ll give you time to think. There’s no need to rush your decision,"
The Creator God offered.
After a long silence, Daniel finally looked up at the Creator God and said:
"Truthfully, I appear to have a choice, but in reality, I don’t—do I?" Find more to read at novelbuddy
After all, Daniel couldn’t transcend this dimension.
Even if he chose the first option, he would only become another Creator God-like being in this dimension,
A mere observer, unable to interact with those he cared about as before.
To Daniel, that was unacceptable.
Thus…
He had only one real option: the second path.
"If I awaken a million years from now and Rose is still there…
I’ll see my family again!"
"I’ve made my decision. I choose the second path—rebirth in a million years!"
Cold river water surrounded Daniel.
He felt his limbs twitching as the suffocating sensation grew stronger.
Desperately, he waved his arms,
Fighting his way toward the surface.
Breaking through the water, Daniel gasped for air,
Greedily breathing in the fresh air.
He swam to the riverbank and dragged himself ashore,
Collapsing on the ground, drenched and exhausted.
Lying there, he realized that his body no longer contained a trace of mana.
He had truly become an ordinary human.
After resting for a while, Daniel sat up and surveyed his surroundings.
A small, tranquil river stretched before him, its waters so clear that fish could be seen swimming beneath the surface.
Around him were forests and towering mountains—
A completely wild landscape, devoid of any sign of human habitation.
A breeze swept by, and Daniel shivered involuntarily.
For the first time, he realized that, without mana to protect him,
Even something as simple as wet clothes could make him vulnerable to illness.
"So… I’ve really become an ordinary person?"
Daniel murmured to himself, still struggling to accept this reality.
The events at the altar felt as though they had happened just moments ago…
