Each contained a trace of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>power of rule\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>, though their strength varied significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The derivative from\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragonscale Bank\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was by far the most potent, which perhaps explained why Imora had appeared so far ahead of her peers during the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Nora unexpectedly becoming Karea Academy's champion, Imora would likely have claimed victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside these reflections, Daniel turned his attention to the assembled representatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm giving you two choices,\" he began, his voice calm yet commanding. \"First, live and lead me to your respective headquarters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, letting the weight of his words settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the second…\" Daniel didn't bother finishing the sentence. The implications were clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel's intentions were evident. If they refused to cooperate, he would have no qualms about ending their lives and studying their derivatives directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>grand steward\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>of Dragonscale Bank broke the silence, his voice tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daniel Headmaster, are you sure you want to go down this path? You may be strong, but the forces behind each of us…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated, his tone shifting into a thinly veiled warning. \"Do not underestimate what stands behind the superpowers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel dismissed the threat with a wave of his hand. \"You have a few minutes to decide,\" he said curtly. \"Choose: live or die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he fell silent, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The representatives exchanged uncertain glances, their faces etched with fear and indecision. This was an unprecedented situation—never before had someone dared to target all the superpowers simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Daniel mad? Or did he truly possess the power to back up his actions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>grand steward\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you insist, then I will take you to Dragonscale Bank's headquarters,\" he said, his tone resigned but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His decision sparked a chain reaction. With the first to take the lead, the others quickly followed suit, one by one agreeing to Daniel's terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the prospect of death, they chose survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Hayes and the grand steward seemed to harbor the most confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their minds, once Daniel confronted their full organizational might, his arrogance would be his undoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the situation settled, Daniel turned his attention to Rose and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been six years since Daniel had personally trained these five students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each had grown into a formidable force, capable of overwhelming their peers at the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he had a monumental task for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've all done exceptionally well over the years,\" Daniel said, addressing the group. \"Now, I have an important mission for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Headmaster, is it planting trees to save the world?\" Nina interjected enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel smiled faintly. \"That's exactly right. The world we live in is on the brink of destruction. To save it, I need you to plant\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trees of Origin\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at each\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>world node\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>on the continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He projected a detailed map into their minds, outlining the locations of the world nodes. The images were vivid and precise, leaving no room for confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These world nodes are crucial,\" Daniel explained. \"Planting the Trees of Origin there will promote their growth and help stabilize the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured, summoning an array of glowing saplings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Each of you will take 1,500 saplings. Choose a direction and plant them along your path. Additionally, eliminate any remnants of god and devil influence you encounter—they'll make excellent fertilizer for the trees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina's hand shot up excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Headmaster, am I going too?\" she asked, practically bouncing in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Daniel said with a nod. \"You've grown enough to handle this task on your own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina beamed with pride, though there was a hint of reluctance in her expression. She had grown accustomed to being by Daniel's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, aren't you coming with us this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I have other matters to attend to,\" Daniel replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had recently discovered a troubling pattern while observing Dragonscale Bank's derivative. Its power stemmed not only from its inherent strength but also from the extent to which it had corrupted the world around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization pointed to the existence of at least four more derivatives of equal potency, each with a significant capacity for world erosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel knew he couldn't entrust this task to his students. These entities were far too dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was another matter that had haunted him for years: the mystery of his predecessor's death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now suspected his initial assumptions were wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The individual who had set a trap within the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sacred Time River\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was likely not the same person responsible for his father's death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trap appeared to have been incidental, triggered by Daniel's investigation of the time river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the power required to lay such a trap, Daniel theorized that its creator had long since left this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only entities with the ability to transcend dimensions could achieve such feats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Daniel with one conclusion: his father's death, as his mentor Ryze had speculated, was tied to the remnants of god and devil influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Daniel was determined to confront these forces head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Daniel contemplated his strategy, Rose and the others discussed their assignments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose chose to continue her journey east, following the path she had taken upon leaving Riverside City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed, on the other hand, selected the western route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going south!\" Nina declared eagerly. \"I've spent five years in the north—it's boring. I'm done with it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green volunteered for the northern route, noting its proximity to the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left Nora, who hadn't spoken yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel glanced at her and then at Nina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nora, you'll accompany Nina to the south,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't entirely trust Nina to stay focused on the mission, especially given her tendency to get carried away. With Nora by her side, he hoped for some balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group finalized their plans, Daniel prepared to confront the superpowers directly, setting the stage for the next phase of his mission.\u003C\u002Fp>",1065,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.255Z",1,"novelbin.me","b8df3d03c4d12490f1e57f79f04da026e9f8267a9be41535734e74fe58329a2a","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-215","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-164",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
