Even though it had fallen into decline, it still looked quite grand from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel moved slowly. He couldn't help but feel helpless with this body that had never been properly trained. It was as slow as a pregnant snail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small figure was pacing at the academy gate. Upon seeing Daniel, she immediately rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, you're hurt!\" The girl, about twelve or thirteen years old and bearing a striking resemblance to Daniel, said. \"Let me help you get treated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine.\" As Daniel was supported by the girl, a sudden, indescribable feeling surged from his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That deep emotion, that overwhelming love that made him want to cry, caused Daniel to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This warm sensation... what was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silent sigh lingered in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Rose, my daughter, my life, my everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel frowned. He knew the original owner's soul had already perished, but he didn't expect to feel such intense fatherly love upon seeing his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really okay, Father?\" Rose's big eyes were filled with worry. \"You look so tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This concern made Owen, who had been alone for billions of years, feel a bit uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn't a bad feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murderous intent and desire for destruction in his heart subsided slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine.\" Daniel patted her head. \"My daughter Rose, from now on, I will protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, I will also train hard. I want to protect you too!\" Rose said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a good child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The academy grounds were nearly deserted. Daniel noticed that, apart from a few students, he hadn't seen a single teacher since entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose's expression also carried a hint of sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened while I was away?\" Daniel suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-nothing happened...\" Rose forced a smile, trying to guide Daniel back to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rose.\" Daniel looked into her eyes. \"You can trust me. Whatever the problem is, I can solve it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, her father seemed different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you,\" Rose said cautiously. \"It just happened so suddenly. After you left the academy, all the teachers resigned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected,\" Daniel nodded. People are fickle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the teachers must have heard rumors, assuming that Daniel would never return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you angry, Father?\" Rose asked in surprise. \"You worked so hard before, trying your best to keep every teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mindset has changed,\" Daniel said, looking at the empty campus. \"This is now my academy. I will rebuild it, and the first step is to clear out the disloyal and useless trash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel was eager to reorganize the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning was painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had suffered for billions of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was time for the students to experience the pain of learning too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of students weeping as they studied brought Daniel a strange sense of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few students passing by greeted Daniel respectfully. Even though Daniel's strength was weak, it didn't affect the respect and affection the students had for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their magic academy was more akin to an orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous headmaster, Daniel's father, was an archmage from the southern continent. After arriving in Riverside City, he dedicated himself to spreading magic education, founding the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A significant portion of the students were orphans with nowhere to go. The academy not only provided them with an education but also a means of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the archmage was still alive, the academy could attract decent instructors. But after his death, the academy's influence and appeal waned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no surprise that the teachers had collectively resigned today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the recent assassination attempt, it was clear that someone wanted the academy to disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, I support your decision,\" Rose said, seeing Daniel's determined expression, finding courage rising in her own heart. \"But what about the upcoming classes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let everyone rest for a few days,\" Daniel had already formulated a plan. \"I will find new teachers immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to take further action, but his body was too exhausted. He could only return to his room to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dug out the original owner's stash of recovery potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel downed one in a single gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he felt his strength return, he began to contemplate his next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's obvious who sent the assassin—the other two families,\" Daniel thought. \"House Lunastone and House Windwhisper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Mistriver Realm is about to open. With our academy out of the way, there will be fewer competitors for the treasures within.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel wasn't worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his body was weak, he possessed something extremely valuable in this world—mana stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The billions of years he spent trapped in the Void Library, with the help of the system, allowed Daniel to fully immerse himself in the endless ocean of knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless magic, languages, and technologies had been completely assimilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could wield this knowledge as easily as moving his own limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But aside from this invaluable knowledge, the system had also rewarded him with mana stones for every book he finished and mastered in the Void Library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the old Daniel, trapped in a chaotic space, mana stones held no real significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, things were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana stones were the universal currency in the magical world, with real importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana stored within them could be used by mages to ascend tiers or directly cast spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The value of a mana stone was also directly related to its purity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't really paid attention before. How many mana stones do I have now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel closed his eyes, and his current resource reserves appeared before him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"999999...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knowledge is wealth.\" Daniel was quite satisfied. \"Study hard, and you can have everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a truly astronomical figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If what Daniel held were a trillion tons of paper currency, it would be as good as holding a trillion tons of—worthless paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paper, in itself, has no value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flooding the world with a trillion tons of paper currency wouldn't boost the economy. It would only stall development or even cause collapse, ruining countless lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be a disaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But mana stones were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana stones themselves were mana!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their currency aspect was the least valuable of their properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability to provide mages with mana that was difficult to extract naturally was what made these stones truly precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could ever have too many mana stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel opened his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft sound, like the gentle flow of water, filled the air. Pure mana stones didn't fall one by one—they poured out in torrents from his palm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a beautiful sound,\" Daniel enjoyed it. Once the floor was piled with mana stones, he snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana stones instantly vanished, returning to the system's storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was the slowest way to retrieve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Daniel so desired, with just a thought, he could fill an entire building with mana stones in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite the enormous piles, his account balance—those nine towering digits—didn't decrease at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infinite mana stones meant infinite mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with infinite mana, combined with Daniel's boundless knowledge, he could change the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mage's greatest challenges in tier ascension are talent and wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daniel himself lacks talent, but he has no shortage of wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the face of my mind and knowledge, talent is irrelevant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sorting through the original owner's memories, he knew that in this world, all humans were descendants of great deities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had inherited a fraction of divine bloodline, which accounted for the differences in talent among individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the concentration of divine blood, the greater the talent, making it easier to inscribe magic patterns and faster to release mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old methods of inscribing magic patterns, passed down through generations, were useless to Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who cares about so-called bloodline talent?\" Daniel scoffed. \"The knowledge in my head will carve out a new path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, bloodline talent will no longer be an obstacle in my ascension!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1333,"2026-06-06T15:56:15.975Z",1,"novelbin.me","e810a7466b2814071f46bfd23c86e47d23572187284bcc1b176b8979abc92634","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-3","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-1",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
