The entire 5-Elent God Realm was abuzz with the news.
Shortly after the young prodigy tournant concluded, an announcent from the 5-Elent Temple spread like wildfire:
The 5-Elent God King was marrying a God King from the Beast Clan.
Years ago, the greatest threat to the 5-Elent God Realm had been the Beast Clan.
During that devastating war, countless humans perished.
It was only after that war that the 5-Elent God King gathered the scattered human survivors
and built a city around the 5-Elent Temple to defend against the Beast Clan.
This was how the current 5-Elent God Realm ca to be.
For many, the Beast Clan was a buried trauma, a thunderclap in their mories.
Now, the announcent that the 5-Elent God King would marry a God King from the Beast Clan was hard to accept for many.
The news caused an uproar.
So argued that this decision betrayed the mory of those who had died at the hands of the Beast Clan.
Others held an entirely opposite view.
The 5-Elent God Realm had utterly crushed the Beast Clan back then!
The Beast Clan's million-strong army was reduced to less than a tenth,
and the survivors fled in disgrace.
So what if the 5-Elent God King married a Beast Clan God King?
There was no problem with that!
In short, the announcent sparked heated debates.
However, the discussions among the people of the 5-Elent God Realm remained verbal and did not escalate.
After all, the 5-Elent God King had every right to do as he pleased.
The million-strong Beast Clan army had been vanquished by him.
Marrying a single Beast Clan God King? What of it?
anwhile, the 5-Elent Temple was bustling with activity.
Everyone in the temple knew about the upcoming wedding, and the atmosphere was lively.
The wedding itself was low-key.
Apart from Daniel and a few God Kings, no external guests were invited.
The event concluded smoothly and without any disruptions.
Still, the news spread rapidly.
A marriage between a human God King and a Beast Clan God King was far too shocking to remain quiet.
The next morning, the 5-Elent God King, sporting dark circles under his eyes,
made his way to Daniel.
"Judging by your appearance, you must have had a long night!"
Daniel took one look at the 5-Elent God King and instantly guessed what had transpired, laughing.
The 5-Elent God King, perhaps due to lack of sleep or so other reason,
unintentionally responded to Daniel's comnt:
"You have no idea, Lord Daniel. The Fox Clan physique is just… wait!"
Halfway through his sentence, he realized he shouldn't continue.
Hurriedly, he changed the topic:
"Lord Daniel, I actually ca to speak with you about sothing else."
"Go on."
"Well, after my wedding yesterday, starting last night and continuing into this morning,
I've been receiving inquiries from nurous people.
Most of them are individuals I've crossed paths with in the God Realm.
They're all trying to find out more about ."
The 5-Elent God King hesitated for a mont before asking:
"Lord Daniel, is this matter really causing such a huge stir?"
He had never anticipated that marrying a Beast Clan God King would have such far-reaching consequences.
If he had known, he might have decisively refused…
Although, last night was indeed enjoyable…
But setting that aside, wasn't this a separate issue?
"Remove your doubts," Daniel said calmly.
"A marriage between a human God King and a Beast Clan God King is an unprecedented event in the God Realm.
5-Elents, you can rest assured—you've made a na for yourself across the entire God Realm."
Hearing this, the 5-Elent God King looked dismayed:
"Does that an I've taken a loss here?"
"Not necessarily. It's just fa—nothing more," Daniel reassured him.
"Really?"
"Yes."
In truth, most in the God Realm likely viewed the event as re gossip.
After all, the 5-Elent God Realm had suffered the worst during the Beast Clan invasion.
The million-strong Beast Clan army had indeed caused devastating destruction in the 5-Elent God Realm—
a fact no one could deny.
Yet now, even within the 5-Elent God Realm,
there was substantial support for the 5-Elent God King's decision.
After all, it was he who had decisively crushed the Beast Clan's arrogance and driven them away in defeat.
Under such circumstances, marrying a Beast Clan God King could even be seen as magnanimity.
Within the 5-Elent God Realm, there was little opposition.
As for the rest of the God Realm? Their opinions mattered even less.
"By the way, do you rember that incident?" Daniel asked.
"What incident?"
"After the Beast Clan army retreated, soone left you a ssage,
saying that the rise of the Beast Clan was inevitable."
"Oh, yes! I rember that clearly!"
The 5-Elent God King quickly responded.
The person who left that ssage had also left behind a terrifying aura.
The aura had been so overwhelming that it reminded the 5-Elent God King of his first encounter with Daniel.
Looking back now, however, it didn't seem quite as formidable.
Still, he was curious about why Daniel had brought it up.
Noticing the 5-Elent God King's puzzled expression, Daniel explained:
"Well, if that individual claid the rise of the Beast Clan was unstoppable,
doesn't that an your 5-Elent God Realm now includes a part of the Beast Clan?"
Daniel smiled knowingly at the 5-Elent God King.
At that mont, the 5-Elent God King, still groggy from the previous night,
felt as though his mind had suddenly cleared.
"Yes! With this marriage, our 5-Elent God Realm technically has a Beast Clan mber now.
This makes our expansion into the God Realm's central regions completely reasonable!
It's only fitting for the 5-Elent God Realm to rise!"
The 5-Elent God King laughed heartily as he ca to this realization.
"Thank you, Lord Daniel. I'll be heading back now. Last night really wore out—
I need to rest properly," he said as he hurried off,
leaving as energetically as he had arrived.
Daniel's suggestion indeed held so rit.
The shadowy figure who had left that ssage had warned Daniel against using power beyond the God King level
or interfering with the destinies of other races,
claiming that the rise of the Beast Clan was inevitable.
But Daniel didn't believe such words.
What good could co from such secretive individuals?

He was determined to see for himself if the so-called rise of the Beast Clan was truly inevitable.
If it was, the 5-Elent God King would undoubtedly benefit.
If not, then those spreading such rumors were certainly suspicious.
There was another reason Daniel had encouraged the 5-Elent God King's actions.
In the ancient ruins he had explored, including the fallen Divine Dynasty and the Life Temple,
Daniel had noticed a common the.
In those ancient powers, there seed to be no such divisions between races as there were now.
Back then, all races coexisted within a single force, working together for a shared purpose.
This stood in stark contrast to the present God Realm,
dominated by humans while the Beast Clan was pushed to the southernmost regions.
Considering the shadowy figure's talk of the Beast Clan's rise,
Daniel ford a simple hypothesis:
Perhaps the so-called calamity was not rely a simple catastrophe.
It could represent a reshuffling of the God Realm's order.
After the calamity, the current balance of power and territories would be cleansed.
The new powers that erged after the calamity might resemble those of the ancient past,
where all races coexisted within a single force.
It wouldn't be just the Beast Clan rising—
all races would find their place in the aftermath.
The only certainty?
The human race would lose its current dominance.
