Chapter218-Who Exactly Are You?
After Arya finished speaking, she noticed that neither of her two friends responded.
Curious, she turned around to see what was going on.
But…
As soon as she turned, she found that her two friends had completely disappeared.
Seeing this, Arya immediately became cautious.
Her two friends were both at the god sovereign level!
And she herself was as well.
To have them taken away without a sound…
How could this be possible!
Arya instinctively felt that something was amiss.
Such a method was simply too bizarre.
Even a god king couldn’t do something like this, right?!
Just then, in the next moment, she suddenly felt dizzy.
After a momentary haze, her mind cleared.
She soon realized she was in an unfamiliar environment.
And her two friends were standing there, like wooden statues, unable to move.
They also had injuries of varying degrees on their bodies.
So… what exactly had happened?
At this moment, Arya was shocked to find that she was in the same situation!
It felt as though something had completely restrained her, and she couldn’t move.
Before them stood a familiar figure—Daniel.
And behind Daniel, that woman was there.
Of course, there was also an unfamiliar old man, who stood behind Daniel in an orderly manner.
In the entire room, Daniel seemed to be the only one in charge!
“You… who exactly are you?”
Arya asked in surprise.
Daniel…
Could this person really be Daniel?
Could it be that the 5 Elements God King is pretending to be him?
Otherwise, how could this nobody, this Daniel, possibly do something like this?
Wasn’t he just the representative of the 5 Elements God King?
As these questions piled up in Arya’s mind, she received no answers.
Daniel spoke:
“You’re much more composed than your friends.”
Earlier, when Daniel brought the other two, they had attacked him the moment they arrived!
Considering they would need the three of them for the expedition later, Daniel had only given the other two a small punishment.
As for the last one, she was simply restrained as soon as she arrived.
Someone had to be left to resolve the problem, right?
Fortunately, this one should be the more sensible one.
“I’m the one who purchased your withered grass. From start to finish, it’s only been me.”
Daniel explained.
“In fact, I noticed your little movements as soon as you entered this room.”
Upon hearing Daniel’s words, Arya was startled.
“Don’t worry, I have no ill intentions. I just want to learn more about the relic you mentioned.”
“You… what’s your relationship with the 5 Elements God King?”
Arya hesitated to ask.
“I know him, and he knows me. I just happen to have been born in the 5 Elements God Realm.”
Daniel answered.
“I only used him as a cover earlier. In fact, it’s always just been me making deals with you.”
Upon hearing this, Arya instinctively wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.
So he’s not the God King after all.
But…
She suddenly realized that the person in front of her seemed far more terrifying than the God King!
“How much of that withered grass do you still have?”
“My lord, we don’t have much left. Because this thing has been so hard to research, we haven’t had much stock.”
“If you need it, I can give you all of it.”
Saying this, Arya felt the restraints on her body loosen slightly.
So, she quickly took out a storage crystal and placed it on the table.
Daniel inspected it and handed it to Elise.
“Take these divine stones. I’m not a bad person.”
“No, my lord, these are for you…”
Before Arya could finish her sentence, she saw Daniel’s gaze and silently accepted them.
It felt like… a forced transaction?
“Alright, sit down. Now, tell me about that relic.”
As Daniel’s voice fell, the restraints on all three of them completely vanished.
The other two dared not speak, so all three sat obediently.
Seeing this, Ink Sea God King couldn’t help but laugh in his heart.
Just like himself!
When Ink Sea God King didn’t know Daniel’s strength, he also intended to act, but just Daniel’s aura had already wounded him.
At that moment, he realized this person should not be provoked.
And those two god sovereign-level youngsters directly attacked Daniel…
How naive!
Luckily, Daniel held back; otherwise, it would have been enough to make these two drink a bitter cup.
Fortunately, the person who came later was more sensible…
“That relic is located in a god realm to the east, not too far away.”
Ten years ago, the three of them had traveled together, searching for a chance to become a god king.
By chance, they discovered that relic.
The scale of the relic was enormous.
It was comparable to the god temples they had seen from the god kings.
Excited, the three of them thought they might find a chance to become god kings there.
Sure enough, the gains in the relic far exceeded their expectations.
It seemed like no one had touched it before.
However, just when they thought they could take all the treasures from the relic, they discovered something.
That was that everything in the relic was shrouded by a chaotic rule.
They had no way to deal with this chaotic rule.
Naturally, they couldn’t take a single item.
In the end, the three of them reluctantly left.
It was quite a bitter experience.
But Arya, unwilling to accept this, suggested they try to take some of the items that were imbued with the chaotic rule, in the hopes of studying and possibly cracking the rule.
They had taken not only withered grass from the relic but also soil and other items.
They had made no breakthroughs so far.
They couldn’t break the chaotic rule.
It wasn’t until recently, when they heard that the withered grass hanging in the void realm had been bought, that they saw hope.
If the withered grass was bought, it meant someone knew what it was. Perhaps they could crack the chaotic rule.
Your journey continues on empire
So the three of them tentatively hung more of the withered grass.
And Daniel bought it.
After several tests, they finally decided to contact Daniel through an intermediary.
When they learned that he was from the 5 Elements God Realm, they dropped their guard.
The 5 Elements God Realm…
The 5 Elements God King, who had only recently become a god king in the past ten thousand years, wasn’t enough to make them afraid.
They had specifically chosen this place.
But they never expected Daniel’s strength to be so terrifying.
Before they could even react, he had already captured them all.
“I remember you mentioned before that, according to your speculation, that relic might have been formed by the collision of worlds?”
Daniel asked.
“Yes, that’s our guess.”
“Because in the relic, both the environment and the rules are extremely chaotic. It doesn’t look like a place at all… That’s why we made that assumption.”
Daniel nodded.
At this point, he couldn’t be sure of anything. He’d have to wait until they got there to see.
“Alright, I’m interested in that relic. I’ll give you three days to arrange your matters. Three days later, come with me to that relic.”
Daniel looked at the three of them.
The three could only helplessly exchange glances.
In each other’s eyes, they saw the same thing.
The thing they had feared most had happened.
This powerful being had indeed set his sights on the treasures in the relic!
And it was very likely that he had a way to crack the chaotic rule.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a request.
Arya thought for a long time and finally decided to be bold!
Even if… it might lead to unfavorable consequences for her.
“My lord, I dare to ask you one thing!”
“What is it?”
“What is the purpose of that withered grass… Could you tell us?”
