If what the Unicorn Patriarch said was true, and the Apocalypse would begin with the destruction of the Sun and Lunar God Realm, then Rose could very well be in danger!
Before Daniel left, Rose had been training in the secret realm of House Theseus. She only returned to Crossbridge Academy after obtaining the fragnts.
After Daniel's departure, according to her original plan, she would likely continue venturing into the secret realm. If the Apocalypse descended while she was there, Rose would be in grave danger!
At this thought, Daniel felt an inexplicable sense of unease creeping into his heart.
"Before I leave, I have a few questions. How exactly did the Divine Dynasty fall? And why did the nine rulers of the Divine Dynasty sacrifice their original essence to create the Gold Board?
Why was the Star Map left behind, leading to the Guidance Hall, with the last two fragnts located in the two secret realms of the Sun and Lunar God Realm?"
Daniel posed a series of questions, but the Unicorn Patriarch rely shook his head.
"I can't answer most of your questions," it said before explaining:
"After the prophecy of the Apocalypse's arrival was made, I led the Unicorn Clan away from the God Realm. I could sense that our clan couldn't withstand such a calamity, so I fled to the Chaos."
"What happened afterward, I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps this was part of the Divine Dynasty's contingency plan," the Unicorn Patriarch said.
It had no knowledge of these matters.
Daniel couldn't comnt much on this.
The Unicorn Patriarch fled to save the Unicorn Clan. Facing an insurmountable disaster, escape was indeed one way to survive.
Now, the Unicorn Clan seed to be living well in the Chaos.
However, Daniel couldn't shake the feeling that sothing was missing—sothing crucial.
"Hurry and set out. Such news must be delivered to the God Realm imdiately, or the consequences will be catastrophic."
"I understand."
Daniel replied, following behind the Unicorn Patriarch as they headed toward where the treasure was stored.
The journey to the Unicorn Clan had gone far too smoothly, almost unnaturally so.
Still, Daniel didn't see any issues.
The secrets he had learned were already enough.
He could discern that the Unicorn Patriarch's words were likely truthful.
At such a ti, there was no reason for deception.
The Unicorn Patriarch wasn't wrong—Apocalypse could descend upon the God Realm at any mont.
Daniel had to return there as soon as possible.
"By the way, I heard from Dark Jew that you personally built the Guidance Hall, correct?"
"Yes, it was on the orders of the God Emperor at the ti. Back then, I didn't understand the purpose of such an undertaking, but now I do."
"The God Emperor foresaw that the prophecy might be tampered with and made preparations accordingly. But… you've co too late. If you had arrived earlier, perhaps you could've stopped them…"
The Unicorn Patriarch's words gave Daniel an odd feeling, prompting him to ask,
"I've heard that during the Divine Dynasty, besides the Unicorn Clan, there were also the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix clans. Like you, they seem to have vanished from the God Realm. Do you still have contact with them?"
"No, we Unicorns were the first to leave, so I don't know their circumstances. In all these years in the Chaos, I haven't encountered any other living beings."
Hearing this, Daniel nodded.
It seed that the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix clans had also chosen to leave, like the Unicorns.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be any trace of them in the God Realm.
"Let's hurry. Every mont we delay here puts the lives of the God Realm's beings at greater risk," the Unicorn Patriarch urged.
Daniel quickly followed.
The two figures reached a location outside the mountains, where the Unicorn Patriarch took out a stone and opened a door.
A strange stone disk appeared before them.
The Unicorn Patriarch placed the stone into the disk, and soon, a phantom door materialized.
"Go on. Once you step through, you'll be able to quickly return to the God Realm. As long as you can pinpoint its location, you can head back imdiately," the Unicorn Patriarch said.
At this mont, Daniel seed far more composed than before. Relaxing visibly, he said,
"By the way, I ca here in such a rush that I haven't had the chance to look around the Unicorn Clan. Let see so of your other treasures!"
"Please don't joke around. Ti is of the essence. If the Apocalypse truly arrives, it will be too late for regrets. If you want to visit after the Apocalypse ends, you're welco then."
"Fine, it's settled then. After the Apocalypse, I'll co for a proper visit."
"Of course. We will give you a grand welco," the Unicorn Patriarch replied.
Daniel approached the phantom door.
Just as he was about to step through, he suddenly paused and said,
"Why don't you return to the God Realm with ? An extra hand would be a great help."
The Unicorn Patriarch's expression darkened.
"I haven't considered returning to the God Realm since leaving it millions of years ago."
"Really?"
"Yes. I'm just an old relic. Even if I went back, I wouldn't be of much use. Although I seem strong, I know I don't have much ti left," the Unicorn Patriarch said.
Daniel nodded and prepared to step into the door.
The Unicorn Patriarch, relieved, prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Daniel stopped again and walked back toward the Unicorn Patriarch.
"By the way, I just rembered sothing."
"What is it?"
"I haven't said goodbye to Dark Jew yet. Where's Punishnt Cliff? I'll go bid him farewell."
"Oh, that? Punishnt Cliff is forbidden to outsiders. I'll pass the ssage to Dark Jew for you."
"Really? What a pity. Is it on the mountaintop that looks like a pillar? When I arrived, I heard Dark Jew ntion that the mountain can only be climbed from its base. Why is that? Is there a magic array in place?"
Hearing Daniel's questions, the Unicorn Patriarch grew increasingly impatient.
Suddenly, an overwhelming aura erupted from its body.
Transforming into a massive unicorn, it charged at Daniel, unleashing a terrifying attack.
After a deafening explosion, both Daniel and the phantom door disappeared.
The explosion's aftermath left the area in ruins, the cave now exposed as open rubble.
The Unicorn Patriarch sighed in relief, preparing to leave.
But then, a voice ca from beside it.
"Why attack so suddenly? Why is it so important that I don't leave through that door?"
The Unicorn Patriarch turned toward the source of the voice.
It saw Daniel standing there, unhard, as if taunting it.
"Didn't you want to deliver the ssage and save the God Realm? Why do this?"
The Unicorn Patriarch's expression turned grim.
It hadn't expected its hasty, full-force attack—containing 70% of its strength—to leave Daniel completely unscathed.
Daniel stood there as if nothing had happened, calmly questioning the Unicorn Patriarch.
