Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods! - Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Chapter436-The One Behind the Scenes
Almost everyone knew how utterly despairing that kind of pain was.

To pursue, to attempt, to try every possible method—only to arrive at the same final result: despair.

They didn’t want their descendants to endure such suffering again.

But they simply did not actively speak of it.

Instead, they recorded it.

Because…

In their hearts, there remained an unrealistic sliver of hope.

What if…

What if one of their descendants, an exceptionally gifted and peerless individual, discovered this truth and found a way to break the bloodline curse?

And Dahlia—she was the one who stumbled upon this knowledge.

Unfortunately…

She still found no answers.

As if lifting the curse upon the bloodline was an impossibility.

Just when Dahlia had lost all hope…

An unexpected event occurred in Storm City.

A massive number of necro suddenly surged out of Doom Domain for no apparent reason.

They stormed into Storm City.

And Dahlia’s family became their target.

As mere ordinary people, they had no means whatsoever to resist these necro.

At that moment, a powerful will descended upon one of the necro.

“If you wish to remove the curse upon your bloodline, then enter Doom Domain.”

“For the sake of… an old acquaintance’s descendants.”

“This kind of curse can only be completely lifted through death.”

After that voice disappeared, the necro receded.

They returned to Doom Domain.

As if this invasion had been staged solely to deliver this message.

Having narrowly escaped death, many were left in shock.

No one had expected that, in the end, it was their ancestor’s legacy that had saved them.

And in that moment, Dahlia—who had been drowning in despair—felt hope reignite.

Because…

She had glimpsed a possible way to break the curse.

A being who could command necro.

Such a being must surely be capable of helping her family escape the curse’s grasp!

Thus, Dahlia shared her decision with her kin.

She wanted to enter Doom Domain and rid their bloodline of its curse once and for all.

This idea gained the support of part of the family.

The other part, however, was deeply concerned.

So, they chose to leave Storm City.

Meanwhile, those who placed their faith in that “great being” followed Dahlia into Doom Domain.

“And then?”

Daniel asked.

He was curious.

If, according to Dahlia, this so-called great being truly intended to help them remove the bloodline curse…

Then…

There shouldn’t be only Dahlia left. Or rather, just a soul.

Yet, it was clear that Dahlia’s being carried the remnants of many souls fused together.

“After we entered Doom Domain, that supreme being appeared once more. That being took our souls.”

“And told us that this matter concerned the fate of the entire world. One day, when we awakened, we were to help as many necro as possible recover their memories.”

“Only then, when the time was right, would that being descend and lead us toward a new path.”

After hearing Dahlia’s words, Daniel fell into thought.

Because this “being” she spoke of…

Daniel couldn’t figure out who it could be.

Initially, he had assumed that these people had simply discovered something in Doom Domain.

But he hadn’t expected…

That there was someone else behind all of this.

So…

Who could it be?

Rose? Or perhaps Rose’s enemy?

After all, Doom Domain was created by Rose’s own hand.

Could the one controlling the necro be Rose’s enemy?

Now, things were becoming even more complicated.

Daniel suddenly felt a headache coming on.

This matter was likely related to Rose.

But he had no idea what Rose was planning.

The information he had received had always been limited.

It seemed he needed to return as soon as possible and ask what was really going on.

The only thing Daniel was certain of was that the mysterious being Dahlia spoke of was definitely connected to Riverside City.

But…

Who exactly?

He had no idea.

“Your mission is to help other necro recover their memories, just like you did?”

“Yes.”

Dahlia nodded.

“And what if I don’t want to let you go so easily?”

“If you do that… the great being will not let you go!”

Dahlia said.

Hearing what sounded like a veiled threat, Daniel chuckled.

Then, he said:

“Oh, right. I seem to have forgotten something. If I kill you right here, wouldn’t I be able to meet this ‘great being’ of yours directly?”

Hearing Daniel’s words, Dahlia’s face suddenly showed a hint of panic.

She had never expected that Daniel would actually want to meet that being…

And would even consider killing her to do so…

If that happened, all her efforts—becoming what she was now, escaping the bloodline curse—would have been for nothing!

But after a moment of thought, Daniel ultimately decided not to do it.

Because if the one behind all of this was truly someone from Crossbridge Academy…

Acting recklessly might disrupt the original plan.

He just didn’t know… who exactly was behind it.

“Alright, go on and do what you need to do. I’m not planning to kill you.”

Daniel said as he looked at Dahlia.

Hearing his words, Dahlia exhaled deeply.

For a moment, she had truly believed she was about to die.

She hadn’t expected Daniel to ultimately let her go.

Dahlia hurried to leave.

But her body was still bound by Daniel’s restraints.

“However, even though I don’t intend to kill you, you still have to pay the price for the ten people you’ve killed.”

As he spoke, Daniel extended his hand.

Immediately, a surge of soul energy was extracted from Dahlia’s body.

Even the spirit flame within her was partially drawn away.

With this, and with some additional methods, those slain disciples could be revived.

Afterward, Daniel released Dahlia.

“Go. Just don’t let me catch you doing this again.”

As Daniel’s words fell, Dahlia departed.

Daniel, too, withdrew from Alice’s soul.

His figure reappeared within Alice’s dream.

At that moment, Alice seemed to sense something.

She turned to look at Daniel:

“Brother Daniel, how is it? Is everything okay now?”

“Yes, that thing has been dealt with.”

“Really?”

“Mm. If you don’t believe me, look in the mirror yourself.”

Hearing Daniel’s words, Alice hesitantly picked up a mirror from the ground.

After glancing at it, she revealed a joyful smile.

“That scared me to death! I had no idea such a terrifying thing had been on me!”

Seeing that the strange presence on her was gone, Alice let out a sigh of relief.

After that, Daniel left the dream.

He found Kaylyn and told her everything.

Kaylyn was equally shocked by Daniel’s words, as she had never encountered such a situation before.

Even…

Could necro truly regain their former memories?

If so, what difference would remain between them and the living?

“How is the secret realm coming along?”

After everything with Dahlia, Daniel had a strong feeling—

The events to come would be incredibly complicated.

So he had to strengthen himself as quickly as possible.

“It’s ready. You can enter whenever you wish.”

Kaylyn replied.

The secret realm Daniel used to increase his strength—Kaylyn had prepared it long ago, just waiting for him to ask.
