If this continues, we won't be able to afford the rent. I fear our world will have to leave Ascension City and seek refuge elsewhere,\" one guide lamented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such is the helpless plight of lower-tier worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weakness begets disadvantage, leaving them with no other options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these worlds, even retaining positions like guides is a privilege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a guide turned to a nearby friend and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crane, I was just thinking—your Void Realm… Oh, no, it's Crossbridge World now. Hardly anyone ascends from there anymore. Why are you still working as a guide here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was one of Crane's old friends, also a guide from another world. The two had known each other for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, someone like Crane had no reason to be a guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, it was well known that Crossbridge Town had powerful backers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ascension City was first established, Crossbridge World had secured the best locations and the largest territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, someone dared to object to this arrangement, but the next day, that individual mysteriously disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the world backing them didn't dare to speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that incident, everyone understood that Crossbridge World was closely tied to the 5-Element Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No other explanation could account for such overwhelming power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossbridge Town was the largest area in Ascension City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It contained numerous empty houses that were meticulously cleaned daily, despite being uninhabited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even former residents of Crossbridge Town were barred from entering these empty spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crane's friend had heard of these peculiarities, as well as the rumor that Crane personally maintained those empty houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even said Crane had close ties to someone influential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By all logic, someone like Crane didn't need to serve as a guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted, he could likely become the head of Crossbridge Town without issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Crane still chose to remain a guide, claiming it was simply a way to pass the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Crane's strength had far surpassed everyone around him. Only his old friends could still speak casually with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm here because I need to personally guide the ascendants from Crossbridge World to their accommodations,\" Crane explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ten-year promise to Daniel was still in effect, and he was bound to honor it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Crossbridge World is incredibly powerful. To claim such a vast area in the city center, and even acquire more space during expansions, is truly enviable,\" his friend remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, envy could not change the reality. It was a policy dictated from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone accepted this arrangement, though. Some worlds openly voiced their dissatisfaction, even threatening to teach Crossbridge World a lesson or drive its people out of Ascension City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crane merely smiled at these remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone dared to act on such threats, their entire world might disappear from Ascension City by the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Crane, your Crossbridge World hasn't had anyone ascend for a long time. The last time… wasn't it those two? Are they the reason you made that promise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Crane nodded, unbothered by the question. His connection to Daniel was no secret. Anyone in Crossbridge Town could easily find out about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Water Town… No, it was now Black Water City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city stood as the first major checkpoint outside the holy city. The streets teemed with people, bustling with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive temple dominated the center of the city. Every person entering the city inevitably noticed it at first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the temple stood five statues, their features indistinct but commanding respect. Streams of people came to pay their respects and offer incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a man and a woman arrived at the temple, followed by dozens of powerful figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their presence was so imposing that bystanders instinctively stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose glanced at the five statues in the temple and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who would've thought these statues would still be here…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed,\" Reed replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This visit marked a return to where it all began—the origin of everything related to Crossbridge Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was here that they first used magic, defeated spell beasts, fought their first battles, and faced true danger. For the students of Crossbridge Academy, this was where their journey began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your aura… it's about there,\" Rose said, sensing the peak Earth God Rank energy emanating from Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Likewise. But… are you suppressing yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed was at the peak of Earth God Rank, but he could tell that Rose's aura far surpassed his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Planting those trees took longer than expected,\" Rose said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed's eyes widened in shock, fully aware of how difficult it was to suppress rank advancement, especially when reaching the threshold of the God Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own position at the peak of Earth God Rank represented the limit of the world he came from. He understood the struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rose… her aura seemed to have already exceeded Earth God Rank, likely reaching Heavenly God Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wry smile, Reed said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of you. I concede.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough talking. Now that everything's ready, let's ascend to the God Realm. I thought Nora would be here for this,\" Rose remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies,\" Reed said, unleashing his Earth God Rank aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he opened the door to his God Realm pathway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go first,\" Reed said, stepping into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose watched him for a moment before extending her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A door appeared—not in the heavens, but surrounding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed it open effortlessly and stepped through into the God Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed, seeing this from above, sighed. Such talent was truly extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose vanished first, followed by Reed. Then, the dozens of figures accompanying them ascended one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Death Legion from the east and other factions from the west unleashed their Earth God Rank auras, signaling their ascension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, countless doors to the God Realm opened over Crossbridge World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary citizens hid indoors, fearing the sky might collapse upon them. Mages, however, watched in awe, filled with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew these doors were reserved for those ascending to the God Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1173,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e63d5386842a30cbaf0e7738bf5b780cba6bc4b9a9544834124c048dbd8ee77","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-311","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-260",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
