Participants only needed to register, submit their information, and then draw lots to determine their opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winners would proceed to the next round, drawing lots for their next match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losers would be eliminated, though there was a chance for revival if they wished to challenge again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the battles, there were virtually no limitations—participants could even bring weapons to the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many found these rules unfair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, some competitors had access to divine artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those without such resources began scrambling to purchase or rent powerful artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those who owned divine artifacts weren't necessarily willing to loan them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While some voiced dissatisfaction with the fairness of the rules, others argued that family background and resources were part of one's strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the 5-Element God King, along with several other God Kings, gathered at Daniel's residence to observe the battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For beings of their rank, appearing at the venue was unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they would make an appearance during the finals, but for now, the 5-Element God King was the primary host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other God Kings were more reserved and content to let the 5-Element God King handle the spotlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out a mirror and casting a divine spell, the 5-Element God King summoned numerous images around them, displaying the battles taking place across the arenas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, over six million people registered for the competition,\" the 5-Element God King remarked, watching the matches and the cheering spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few years ago, when the beast clan had just retreated from the 5-Element God Realm, the population had been severely depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see the realm restored to this extent in such a short time filled him with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this recovery was largely thanks to Daniel's steady infusion of divine stones. The 5-Element God Realm was now brimming with talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 5-Element God Realm is doing well. It's nearly caught up to the Greenwood God Realm,\" one of the God Kings commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Greenwood God Realm is the top realm in the south, isn't it? I recall their prodigy competitions attracting over 18 million participants—nearly 20 million,\" another added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That many? Still, considering the 5-Element God Realm's progress in just a few years, it's impressive to be catching up,\" a third chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their constant mentions of the Greenwood God Realm, the 5-Element God King's initial pride began to waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ink Sea God King and the newly ascended Arya God Kings, aware of the 5-Element God King's past struggles in the Greenwood God Realm, seemed to enjoy teasing him about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worst part? Their words were true, leaving the 5-Element God King with no grounds for rebuttal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Determined, he silently vowed to surpass the Greenwood God Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel, observing their banter with a smile, reminisced about his time in Crossbridge World. It had been a long while since he'd been involved in something so lively. These days, his role was mostly to watch the younger generation's battles from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought back to his time in the Mistriver Realm, marveling at how far his former students had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at this one! He's been dominating every match so far,\" one of the God Kings remarked, pointing to a screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He must have a half-divine artifact. These smaller cities don't have strong opponents to challenge him,\" another said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like this one here—he barely fights. Just throws treasures around to win every match,\" another added, laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their discussion continued until Big White's voice interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Isn't that Reed? Yes, it's him! He's about to take the stage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Kings turned their attention to the screen, drawn by Big White's excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed stepped onto the arena, spear in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crossbridge World, Reed,\" he introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the 5-Element God King glanced at Daniel, noticing his focused gaze on the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also realized the significance of this moment—Reed must be one of Daniel's students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the arena, Reed's opponent took the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"White Wolf World, Novi,\" the opponent announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spectators erupted in chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Novi ascended twenty years ago. He even made a name for himself during the beast clan invasion,\" one observer said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like this guy from Crossbridge World is in trouble,\" another remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trouble? It's going to be a complete blowout. Both worlds are high-tier God Realms. Losing would be humiliating,\" someone else added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Crossbridge World's vast territory in Ascension City, many peers felt resentful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The provocations led by Brightsun World had only amplified this dissatisfaction, with some openly hoping to see Crossbridge World humiliated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, this was a guaranteed win for Novi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Novi had been in the God Realm for twenty years and had fought the beast clan. Reed, by comparison, had only ascended a few years ago—if even that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly compete?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many placed their bets on Novi, confident in his victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers erupted for Novi as he stepped onto the stage, while Reed remained calm, his eyes cold and focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't care about the cheers or jeers. His only goal was victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begin!\" the referee declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed's figure vanished from the arena, leaving the audience stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What just happened? Where did he go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could make sense of it, Reed reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even use his spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single punch, he struck Novi squarely, sending him flying off the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winner: Crossbridge World, Reed!\" the referee announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted—not in celebration, but in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many had bet heavily on Novi and now accused the match of being rigged. Some were so furious they wanted to attack Novi for his failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the competition had prepared healers and security in advance, preventing any further chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Daniel's home, the 5-Element God King stared at the screen in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Daniel, is he already at the peak of High God Rank?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God King could see it clearly—Reed was just one step away from God Lord Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he hadn't paid much attention to Reed before, he had learned a bit about him while looking into Rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed had been one rank below Rose when they ascended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Reed had reached the peak of High God Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about Rose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she already be at God Lord Rank?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 5-Element God King's mind raced, realizing why Daniel had worn such a strange expression when he'd mentioned his children's participation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the God King couldn't sit still.\u003C\u002Fp>",1085,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","d977f6fcec6b6471ad1607367d95ca3d7487b7aafcc83707cbeceb7803435ea0","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-267","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-315",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
