Daniel's power began to construct the corresponding magic array around the withered grass.
In fact, he didn't need to do much—he simply had to amplify the chaotic rules embedded within the withered grass.
Of course, this magic array would only take effect on those trying to enter through abnormal ans.
If soone was invited in properly, the array wouldn't activate.
After recording the auras of himself and Elise into the array…
As for the core of the array, the withered grass…
He buried it underground.
After all, no one would bother clearing out things beneath the ground.
Soon, the magic array was complete.
Daniel thought for a mont, found soone, and gave them so divine stones to test it out.
The effect was excellent.
The person wandered aimlessly outside the walls, unable to enter the courtyard at all.
Seeing the result, Daniel was satisfied.
In a certain space.
An ancient mirror suddenly began to crack from its center.
In that instant, several figures appeared in the space.
"How could this happen…"
"But it really is a crack!"
"We all saw it!"
"When it becos damaged, it signifies that a great catastrophe is about to descend upon the God Realm, doesn't it?"
"…"
In the Five Elents Temple.
The Five Elents God King sat on his throne.
Lately, his days had been anything but easy.
In particular, the investigation into the world ascension had yielded no progress.
And now, at this critical mont, Daniel had also arrived in the God Realm.
He had no choice but to act.
After sending tens of millions of divine stones, his foundation had been further depleted.
This was sothing he had painstakingly accumulated over tens of thousands of years.
Yet due to these events, most of it was now gone.
This left the Five Elents God King trapped in self-doubt.
How had things turned out like this?
Wasn't he supposed to be a god king, ruling over a divine domain?
How could his life be so miserable?
It was even worse than when he wasn't a god king at all.
At this mont, he received a ssage.
The sender was his friend, the Giant Mountain God King.
"Five Elents, what have you been busy with lately?"
Giant Mountain God King asked, his expression sowhat serious.
The Five Elents God King replied helplessly:
"I've been busy with temple affairs. There's been so much going on recently. It's all so troubleso, I feel like I can't hold on anymore."
Giant Mountain God King didn't follow up on that topic but instead asked:
"Have you heard about sothing recently?"
"What is it?"
Five Elents God King asked curiously.
He hadn't paid much attention to what had been happening in the God Realm recently.
His days were spent worrying about balancing his resources and investigating the world ascension issue.
"Look at this."
Giant Mountain God King said, projecting an image with his hand.
It was a massive mirror.
However, a terrifying crack ran across its surface.
At first, the Five Elents God King didn't react. He blurted out instinctively:
"The mirror broke? Just get a new one—"
Suddenly, he looked closer at the mirror, and his expression changed dramatically.
Seeing this reaction, Giant Mountain God King didn't need to explain further.
"Is this… the legendary artifact tied to the original essence of the God Realm? The Future Mirror?"
This was the artifact that had appeared when the God Realm was first born, the Future Mirror.
It was intricately tied to the original essence of the God Realm.
No one knew exactly where the Future Mirror was located, but they could observe it through a unique projection.
So powerful god kings could even use the Future Mirror to briefly glimpse into the future.
When the Five Elents God King had first noticed issues with the Crossbridge World, he had also relied on the Future Mirror to detect Daniel's presence.
However…
How could such an artifact suddenly crack?
"Five Elents, do you rember the legend I ntioned before?"
According to legend, the Future Mirror once foretold the destruction of the God Realm.
The first sign of this catastrophe was the Future Mirror's cracking.
And now, a crack had appeared on its surface.
What did this an?
A great catastrophe was about to sweep across the God Realm!
This legend was ancient and well-known.
Almost every god king was aware of it.
"Now, many people in the God Realm are preparing for this, ready to respond to the impending disaster. We must also act, Five Elents!"
Giant Mountain God King urged:
"Put the temple affairs aside for now. There's no rush. We can deal with them after the catastrophe passes."
Hearing this, the Five Elents God King fell into silence.
He was deep in thought.
At this point, he felt like an ant on a hot stove, or a drowning man struggling to keep his head above water.
He couldn't even protect himself.
He hadn't even escaped the wolf's den, and now the tiger's maw was already opening.
What should he do?
What could he do?
The Five Elents God King realized he had no choice at all!
However, he could still distinguish between priorities.
The God Realm's catastrophe might or might not co. Even if it did, no one knew exactly when.
But Daniel was real.
He was in the God Realm right now, and he knew where the Five Elents God King was. He could show up at any ti.
Thus, the Five Elents God King said to Giant Mountain God King:
"Thank you for the reminder, Giant Mountain. But I still have so matters to attend to. Let's talk another day."
"Alright. I just hope you'll take this matter seriously."
After that, the two cut off their connection.
On Giant Mountain God King's end, he sighed after the call ended.
He had known the Five Elents God King for many years.
The two could even be considered good friends.
But this ti…
"Giant Mountain, how did it go?"
Nearby, an elder asked.
"Did he agree to join our alliance?"
Giant Mountain God King replied:
"I didn't bring it up. He… doesn't seem to care much about the catastrophe. He's still obsessed with his temple affairs."
"What? Did you not explain to him how serious the catastrophe is?"
"I did, but he still didn't care. Such a person cannot be forced into our alliance. Otherwise, he'll only bring unnecessary trouble."
"Fine, he's your friend. Do what you think is best."
At this mont, another person chid in:
"Ti is pressing. I said from the start that we shouldn't waste ti on a minor god king. It's unnecessary."
"In the south, those beast nations have already started taking action. If they strike, their first targets will undoubtedly be us!"
Once the catastrophe began,
the flas of war in the God Realm would undoubtedly ignite between humans and beasts.
And all the god realms bordering the southern beast nations, like theirs, would be the first to suffer.
That was why they had gathered to form an alliance.
"Can't we negotiate with them? Concentrate the battlefield in a specific god realm to minimize losses for everyone."
"That… could work!"
After all, the beast nations weren't fools.
Although they were impulsive, they were still capable of basic reasoning.
Their own territory was where they lived.
If they could shift the war to soone else's land, why wouldn't they?
"Let's use the Five Elents God Realm as the battlefield, then."
Giant Mountain God King suggested.
"The Five Elents God Realm? Isn't that your friend's domain?"
"I originally wanted him to join our alliance, but it seems he chose the wrong path. So… there's no need to hold back."
Giant Mountain God King said calmly.
There was no trace of the friendship he once had with the Five Elents God King.
After all, every god king had lived for tens of thousands of years.
To Giant Mountain God King, knowing the Five Elents God King for a re ten thousand years wasn't particularly significant.
