Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!-Chapter 369 - -A Stranger in the Wilderness

After his conversation with the Creator God, Daniel came to understand that both the Creator God and the watchers behind Him were higher-dimensional beings, gazing down on everything from above.

Through their final discussion, Daniel struck an agreement with the Creator God.

He would be reborn a million years later as an ordinary person.

"I never thought… a million years would pass just like that,"

Daniel muttered as he looked around.

Quickly, he began gathering dry wood and grass to start a fire.

Now that he was an ordinary human, his soaked clothes were a real problem.

Without a fire, he could catch a cold—or worse, die of exposure before he ever had the chance to reunite with Rose.

After working tirelessly for a while, Daniel managed to get a fire going.

At that moment, his stomach growled loudly.

"Ah, now I need food," he sighed.

Using broken tree branches, stones, and twigs, he fashioned a makeshift spear.

The fish in the river seemed unaccustomed to human activity and didn’t react when Daniel waded in.

Taking advantage of their stillness, he easily speared several large fish.

Soon, they were roasting over the fire.

Daniel ate in silence, lamenting the lack of seasoning—and the absence of Elise.

Just as he was biting into his bland fish, he looked up at the sky and shouted:

"Creator God! I curse you! Show yourself!"

His voice echoed through the forest, but there was no response.

It seemed the Creator God truly had left.

After finishing his meal, Daniel began inspecting his body.

He had no mana whatsoever.

Even his magical aptitude seemed just as poor as it had been when he first arrived at Crossbridge Academy—

A hopeless "waste."

However, his understanding of cultivation techniques and his memories were still intact.

His Genesis, written long ago, seemed perfectly tailored to his current state.

But Daniel wasn’t in any rush to cultivate.

This time, there was no academy to save and no enemies trying to kill him.

For once, he could live for himself.

Even if danger arose, Daniel had other means to protect himself—

Blood magic or mind power could serve as substitutes for mana if necessary.

For now, he decided to explore this world, curious to see how it had changed after a million years.

While Daniel was eating, a small figure cautiously approached him.

"Who… who are you?"

The timid voice made Daniel turn his head.

It was a little girl, staring at him with wide, curious eyes.

"Do you want a fish?" Daniel asked.

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome. I can’t eat all of them by myself anyway."

After finishing one fish, Daniel found it tasteless.

It was just food to fill his stomach, nothing more.

The second fish was optional, so he handed it to the girl.

If this child could wander here, it meant people must live nearby—

Perhaps a few families or even a village.

"Grandpa says you should always say thank you when someone is kind to you," the girl said firmly as she took the fish.

Hearing this, Daniel smiled.

"Your grandpa sounds like a good man. And you’re a very kind girl."

The girl giggled at the compliment.

"Grandpa says the fish in this river are special—magical fish. Thank you for sharing one with me."

As the girl took a bite, Daniel paused, intrigued.

Magical fish?

After a moment, he noticed it too:

When he had eaten the fish earlier, a faint trace of mana had briefly surfaced in his body.

But due to his terrible magical aptitude, the mana dissipated almost immediately.

This made Daniel fully realize how poor his magical talent was in his current body.

Just then, a voice called out from a distance:

"Little one! Where are you? What are you doing there?"

"Grandpa!"

The girl stood and waved at the approaching figure.

Daniel turned to see an elderly man.

Though his hair was white, he looked robust and energetic, his voice strong and clear.

He carried a large basket on his back, filled with unknown items.

Upon spotting the campfire, Daniel, and the fish in his granddaughter’s hands, the old man became cautious.

"Who are you?"

The old man’s sharp eyes scanned Daniel’s attire.

It was clear that Daniel wasn’t from their village—he was an outsider.

Daniel thought for a moment before replying,

"I’m a traveler from Riverside City."

"A city-dweller? How did you end up here?"

Hearing this, Daniel realized the old man didn’t recognize the name Riverside City.

In his time, he had personally relocated Riverside City to the skies of the new God Realm.

If it was now unknown, it could only mean one of two things:

Either this place was extremely remote, or… something had happened to the city over the past million years.

Daniel hoped it was the former.

"I… was betrayed and ended up stranded here," Daniel said vaguely.

"Are you one of those… mages?" the old man asked skeptically.

Before Daniel could respond, the little girl chimed in:

"Grandpa, he’s not a bad person! I saw him start a fire by rubbing sticks together, not with flint!"

???

Hearing this, Daniel finally realized—

This child had been spying on him all along!

In his weakened state, Daniel hadn’t sensed her presence nearby.

If he had, he would’ve called her out immediately.

The old man relaxed slightly after hearing his granddaughter’s explanation.

This stranger was just an ordinary person, stranded and alone.

"Well, young man, you won’t survive out here on your own. This place is desolate—hardly anyone passes through.

You’d better come with us. We’ll take you out of here."

"Thank you," Daniel said with a nod.

"Big brother, come with us! I’ll teach you how to cook fish properly—your way is too bland to keep you alive!"

The little girl chirped happily.

Daniel didn’t know how to respond.

What kind of child was this?

She seemed polite at first, but her words were unexpectedly sharp.

Perhaps the old man’s strict reminders about manners were to keep his granddaughter from inadvertently offending everyone she met.

"Alright, I’ll follow you. But once we’re out of here, I won’t trouble you further."

The trio set off along a narrow path.

As they walked, Daniel learned that there was a small village beyond the mountains.

The old man and the little girl were from that village, living a simple and quiet life.
