After obtaining the answer he wanted, Daniel was planning to leave.
Because, coincidentally, there was an item related to the Divine Dynasty in this auction.
Thankfully, he had noticed this in advance and had Elise keep an eye on it.
Now that he had clarified the function of the divine crystal and the prophecy related to the Divine Dynasty, Daniel was ready to leave.
"Senior, are you planning to leave?"
"Yes, I've finished asking everything I wanted to know. What am I staying here for? Earlier, I saw you were about to leave as well, so hurry up and go."
After saying this, Daniel turned to leave.
At that mont, the Ink Sea God King spoke:
"Senior, from which God Realm do you co?"
"5 Elents God Realm."
"5 Elents God Realm?"
The Ink Sea God King paused for a mont and then recalled.
That's the God Realm next to teor City!
He had heard that it was a relatively new God Realm, with its God King having only been in power for less than ten thousand years.
However…
The Ink Sea God King knew that the 5 Elents God King before him was certainly not like the rumors described…
"Senior of the 5 Elents, I… would like to pledge my allegiance to you!"
The Ink Sea God King imdiately knelt in respect.
To a God King much younger than himself, he addressed him as "Senior" with complete decisiveness, without hesitation.
Daniel was sowhat speechless.
It seed like the other person had mistaken him for the 5 Elents God King.
But upon thinking about it, this made sense.
With such power in the 5 Elents God Realm, who else could it be other than the 5 Elents God King?
Furthermore, based on the Ink Sea God King's earlier remarks,
he had no confidence in surviving the impending calamity,
which is why he had chosen to co to buy the divine crystal.
And he wasn't very familiar with the other two God Kings in his faction.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a decision.
So, it was likely that he just saw Daniel's strength and wanted to attach himself to soone powerful before the calamity struck.
Daniel chuckled and then said:
"First of all, I am not the 5 Elents God King. I just co from the 5 Elents God Realm, which is now called the 5 Elents God Realm."
After all, the Duoheng World is governed by the 5 Elents God Realm.
"Secondly, you want to join my side? Why should I take you in?"
A God King—what could he possibly offer Daniel?
Was he lacking in muscle? No, not at all!
The Ink Sea God King knew that this was the mont to demonstrate his value.

He quickly responded:
"Sorry, Senior. My value lies in the fact that after becoming a God King, I spent a long ti in the God Realm. Since I don't usually involve myself in the governance of the God Realm, I've traveled to many places and learned things that many ordinary God Kings don't know!"
"I believe, in the God Realm, you must lack soone like as a guide."
The Ink Sea God King spoke clearly, word by word.
From the earlier questions Daniel had asked, he could tell that the other person was not very familiar with the God Realm.
So now was the ti to show his worth.
Upon hearing the Ink Sea God King's words, Daniel realized that the old man was right.
He did indeed need soone who understood the God Realm.
Back in Ascension City, Crane was familiar with the place, so he had hired him.
Now, he needed soone who had a better understanding of the entire God Realm.
And it seed that the Ink Sea God King was the only person who fit the bill.
"Alright, you can follow . But let make it clear upfront—I don't have many requirents, the only one is that you must be loyal to !"
"If I find out you have any ulterior motives… you should understand the consequences. Even a God King like you can be killed."
"Yes, yes, yes! Rest assured, I would never have any disloyalty!"
Hearing Daniel's threat filled with murderous intent, the Ink Sea God King instinctively trembled in fear.
But his mind was quickly filled with joy.
He hadn't expected it to be this easy.
Originally, he was just trying his luck.
But to his surprise, he really managed to attach himself to such a powerful figure.
"Senior, you can trust . I will definitely serve you well!"
"Also, don't call Senior anymore. My na is Daniel."
"Yes, Lord Daniel."
"Alright, let's go."
With that, Daniel left the room and returned to his own.
Elise looked curiously at the person following Daniel.
"Elise, let introduce him. His na is Ink Sea. From now on, he will be responsible for answering any questions about the God Realm. Of course, anything he's not familiar with can be left to him as well."
"Hello, Elise. I have spent many years in the God Realm and know it very well."
Ink Sea greeted her before standing obediently.
Elise glanced at Daniel in confusion and then said:
"Headmaster, this is the item you asked to purchase earlier."
"Did you get it? Good."
Daniel took the item from Elise's hands.
"You don't know how intense it got just now. In the end, I had to raise the price to 25 million before no one else placed a bid."
"Mm."
Daniel looked at the Divine Dynasty artifact.
According to the manual, this small piece, only the size of a finger, was sothing left behind by the Divine Dynasty.
After being examined by multiple appraisers, it was finally verified as such.
"Lord Daniel, I recognize this item."
At this mont, the Ink Sea God King, standing behind Daniel, spoke.
"Then tell , what exactly is it?"
The black object, the size of a finger, didn't look like sothing that could be used for anything.
"This type of item can be described as a container."
"It's sothing the powerful beings of the Divine Dynasty used to store certain things, passed down to future generations."
"Passed down to future generations?"
Daniel was sowhat puzzled.
Did the Divine Dynasty people know they were going to die and thus wanted to use this thod to pass on information or legacy?
"Yes, though so people suspect that there may be so ssage the Divine Dynasty wanted to pass on to us. Every relic is sealed with several magic arrays, and no one can know what's inside until it is opened."
The Ink Sea God King slowly explained.
Upon hearing this, Daniel roughly understood.
This item was like one of the blind boxes left behind by the Divine Dynasty.
No one knew what was inside.
Only after opening it would they find out.
Hearing the ntion of magic arrays, Daniel used his mind power to take a look.
The magic arrays on the item were dense and intricate.
He then asked Ink Sea God King:
"Can you unlock these magic arrays?"
"I can, but… Lord Daniel, I'm not very skilled with magic arrays. It may take a longer ti. If I had the help of the Future Mirror, I could save a lot of ti, but since it can't be used now… it will probably take about three years."
"How long?"
"About three years, I think."
Upon hearing this, Daniel decided to handle the item himself.
The magic arrays, although complex, would only take him three days to decipher.
After three days, he would see what was inside.
At this point, he realized that Ink Sea God King was really only good for answering questions.
The auction was nearing its end.
It was ti to prepare for the next task.
His mind power reached another room, where the three God Sovereigns were.
Clearly, as the auction progressed, their patience was wearing thin.
Originally, they had expected the 5 Elents God King to show up during the auction.
Otherwise, why would Daniel wait for this auction?
But as the auction was about to conclude, and Daniel had even gone out at one point, leaving Elise to buy things,
they wondered… would the 5 Elents God King actually appear?
"I can't wait any longer! The auction is almost over. Let's go and capture that Daniel guy right now! Who knows when we'll get another chance!"
A woman said.
Her tone was full of impatience.
This auction had completely exhausted her patience.
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that no one around her was responding!
