Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!-Chapter 439 - -I Have Acquaintances Here!

"Are you also heading to Crossbridge World, my friend?"

Daniel and Alice stood there.

A man beside them took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Daniel glanced at him.

Earlier, during the debates among the crowd, this man had clearly belonged to the group that believed Crossbridge World was the place to be.

"Those old-fashioned people keep reminiscing about the past, completely unaware of how many benefits await us in such a powerful world."

The man’s words were full of anticipation for Crossbridge World.

"It’s just a shame… we’ll never be able to return."

Because of these few exchanged words, Daniel and Alice became acquainted with this man.

His name was Sark.

Like them, he was heading to Crossbridge World.

According to him, he even had a friend there.

A group of people, after passing through the teleportation magic array, arrived in an entirely new land in the next moment.

Surrounding them were towering mountain ranges.

In the distance stood an enormous tree, stretching beyond the clouds.

The trunk alone was visible.

The crown of the tree was completely obscured by the sky’s thick clouds.

Looking at this tree, Daniel felt a deep, instinctual sense of familiarity.

This is… the Tree of Origin!

He hadn’t expected…

It had grown this large already.

Everyone was temporarily gathered in a massive square.

"Please rest here for now. We will soon arrange your accommodations according to your respective itineraries and purposes."

After making this announcement, the organizer disappeared.

Everyone present began finding their own spots to rest.

"Brother Daniel, we really hit the jackpot this time!"

As Daniel found a place to rest, Sark spoke with excitement.

"Hit the jackpot? What do you mean?"

Alice asked curiously.

"Even though it’s my first time in Crossbridge World, I heard from my friend that in this world, any powerful place will have a tree like this—"

"Towering beyond the clouds, with its crown completely out of sight."

Sark explained, gazing at the Tree of Origin in the distance.

"Wow! Is that really a tree? How can it grow that huge?!"

Alice looked at the Tree of Origin in disbelief.

"Exactly! No one really understands how. Perhaps that’s why it’s called the ’Divine Tree’."

Hearing Sark’s words, Daniel also looked at the Tree of Origin.

So now…

It was being called a Divine Tree?

"This city is called Kareya. It’s one of the strongest forces in Crossbridge World. All in all, now that we’re here, you can rest easy! I have a friend here!"

Sark declared confidently.

He even laughed out loud.

After all, in such an unfamiliar place, having a familiar friend gave Sark a lot of confidence.

Now Daniel understood why Sark was suddenly so cheerful.

It was because… he had an acquaintance here.

Seeing Sark looking so proud, Alice leaned over to Daniel and asked,

"Brother Daniel, don’t you have friends in Crossbridge World too? Does that mean you also know someone in this Ancient City of Kareya?"

Hearing Alice’s question, Daniel lifted his head, looked at the towering Tree of Origin, and said,

"I’m not sure about friends, but I probably have some relatives here."

Hearing Daniel’s response, Alice’s eyes immediately lit up.

She hadn’t expected that Daniel really had an acquaintance here—

No, not just an acquaintance, but a relative!

In that case…

Alice looked at Sark.

Compared to Sark’s earlier proud demeanor, Alice now seemed even more smug.

Noticing Alice’s smug expression, Sark turned to Daniel and asked,

"You… have relatives here?"

Sark found it hard to believe.

Daniel…

He had clearly come to Crossbridge World just like him.

How could he possibly have relatives in Ancient City of Kareya?

"What? Only you can have a friend, but my brother can’t have a relative? Who knows if your so-called ’friend’ even exists!"

"Impossible! Every piece of information I have about Crossbridge World came from my friend!"

"I don’t believe you! Call your friend over then!"

"…"

And with that, the two started bickering.

Daniel simply shook his head and turned his attention elsewhere.

He had no interest in their childish argument.

…

A short while later, a man arrived at the gathering.

"Everyone, I am an enforcement officer from Ancient City of Kareya. I need to record some basic information about you. If this is an inconvenience, I apologize in advance."

Because this was a mage-controlled city, the recorded information did not involve private details—

It was simply a basic record of names and reasons for coming to Crossbridge World.

Meanwhile, Alice and Sark were still arguing.

Their debate had now escalated to which was more impressive—a friend or a relative.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Now, we need to check whether any of you have been entangled by necro. Please be patient, the inspection team will arrive shortly."

After the young officer finished speaking, he left.

Soon, a middle-aged man holding a strange object approached.

The moment he arrived, he suddenly froze.

"You are… Sark?"

"Pierre?"

Seeing the man, Sark became ecstatic.

"I didn’t expect to run into you right here! Are you… part of the inspection team?"

"That’s right."

Hearing Sark’s words, Pierre explained,

"Because of your world’s special nature, we need to check for necro possessions or disguises."

Then, Sark turned to Daniel and Alice.

"This is the friend I told you about from Ancient City of Kareya. Now we really have an acquaintance here!"

Daniel smiled and nodded.

As for Alice, she turned away—refusing to acknowledge Sark’s smug expression.

After chatting for a bit, Pierre prepared to escort them directly into Ancient City of Kareya.

Since they were acquainted, the inspection process was technically unnecessary.

After all, with the Tree of Origin standing in Kareya—

No necro would dare set foot here.

The inspection was merely a formality.

Seeing Pierre’s intention to skip the process, Sark immediately stopped him.

"I remember the officer saying there was one final check! You shouldn’t overlook it!"

Hearing Sark’s words, Pierre chuckled and said,

"It’s nothing, really. But since you insist, let’s do it."

Pierre then pulled out a branch from his robes.

"This is a branch from the Divine Tree. With this, detecting necro is effortless."

Saying that, he waved the branch over the group.

As Pierre moved the branch, a strange energy ripple spread out.

"If a necro is present, they won’t be able to hide from this test!"

But at that moment—

Suddenly, the branch trembled.

Before Pierre could react, the branch in his hand shattered into pieces.

Not even a trace was left behind.

Seeing this, Pierre was completely dumbfounded.

This was the first time he had encountered such an event.

He had no idea what to do.

"Uh… what just happened? Why did it explode?"

Sark cautiously asked Pierre.

"Maybe… maybe it was defective. Hold on, I’ll get another one."

Sark stood there, watching Pierre walk away in confusion.

He didn’t know what to say.

Meanwhile, Daniel wore a helpless expression.

He already had a very good idea of what had just happened.

The branches of the Tree of Origin were, in some ways, an extension of its perception.

And the reason it had shattered so suddenly—

There was no need to even guess.
