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

Each person was assigned to a sub-hall based on their skills.

Veya, however, was placed in a sub-hall that was slightly better than the others.

After all, she was the runner-up in the Enlightenment Competition.

“Daniel, I guess this is where we part ways.”

Veya smiled as she said her goodbye to Daniel.

She knew that this might be the last time they saw each other.

Someone like Daniel—such a genius—

There was no way he would stay in Thousand Suns Hall for long.

Once the others had left, Holt turned to Daniel.

Clearly, there were special arrangements for him.

“As for your specific placement, the elders need more time to discuss. For now, you’ll stay in the Forging Hall. Here’s your identity token and some basic supplies.”

“A student from the Forging Hall will guide you to your residence and help you get familiar with everything.”

Holt handed Daniel a storage crystal.

Just in time—it could store the mana crystals he had secretly collected earlier.

Then, a young student standing beside Holt stepped forward.

“Daniel, come with me.”

The young student seemed to know something about Daniel and was very respectful in his demeanor.

On the way, Daniel started chatting with him.

The young man’s name was Fran.

He had entered Thousand Suns Hall a few years ago.

Since his talent was decent, he was placed in the Forging Hall.

After years of training, he had become one of the top outer disciples in the Forging Hall.

Before long, he would likely be promoted to a core disciple.

Fran explained everything about the Forging Hall in great detail, giving Daniel a comprehensive understanding of the place.

“Our main focus is on magic array cores…”

At this point, Fran hesitated for a moment before adding, somewhat sheepishly:

“We’re not as skilled as the people from Artisan’s Sanctuary, but we can still craft decent magic array cores. In fact, nearly all of the magic array cores used in Thousand Suns Hall come from our Forging Hall.”

Daniel could hear a hint of pride in Fran’s tone.

It was clear that Fran genuinely loved forging.

“By the way, Daniel, Elder Holt mentioned that you were once part of Artisan’s Sanctuary, right?”

“Not exactly. I just worked at a forging workshop that collaborated with Artisan’s Sanctuary.”

“Oh… I see.”

Fran noticed that Daniel didn’t seem particularly enthusiastic about Artisan’s Sanctuary.

There was probably some kind of conflict involved.

Sensing this, Fran didn’t press the topic further.

The two of them continued walking until they finally arrived at the Forging Hall.

It was an impressive place, surrounded by an entire complex of buildings.

“Daniel, this is your room. Holt Elder should have already given you the key and everything else you need.”

Fran led Daniel to a small courtyard and explained:

“Holt Elder said you should take a few days to settle in first. After that, you’ll report to another elder.”

The other elder he referred to was one of the key figures in the Forging Hall.

For now, Daniel had been assigned under their supervision.

“Thanks. Oh, by the way—where is the library?”

“At the main peak. It’s not far from here.”

Fran took out a crystal and a communication device.

The crystal contained a map of Thousand Suns Hall.

“If you have any questions or need anything, feel free to find me.”

With that, Fran left.

Daniel stepped into his courtyard. Read latest chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

The place was well-equipped with everything he needed.

The environment was also quite pleasant, which satisfied him.

After making himself some tea, Daniel began to plan his next move.

No matter what, he had to find Rose.

After noticing that sword scar, he couldn’t stop worrying about Rose and the others.

However, with his current strength…

Even if they were in danger, he wouldn’t be able to help much.

So—

Increasing his strength was a priority.

That said, Daniel was also well aware…

Although he didn’t have a bottleneck, each breakthrough required a massive amount of mana.

The ten mana crystals he had taken from the mana pool…

Would only be enough to push him to Master-rank (early stage).

If he wanted to go further…

The amount of mana—or more specifically, mana stones—he needed would be immense.

Daniel never thought that one day, he would have to worry about mana stones.

In the past…

He always thought of them as just numbers.

Back then, he even found it annoying how slowly others consumed mana stones.

But now—

He was broke!

…Well, that was a problem for later.

For now, there was something else Daniel urgently needed to find out:

How much time had passed since he left the New God Realm?

His destination was already clear.

Daniel took out the map of Thousand Suns Hall.

After locating the library, he immediately headed there.

The Library

For any faction, the library was an extremely important place.

It stored the most valuable knowledge of an organization.

Daniel still remembered…

Back at Life Temple, he had found a massive collection of divine spells in their library.

Those spells had given him tremendous inspiration in expanding Genesis.

The Thousand Suns Hall library, of course, wasn’t as grand as the Life Temple’s.

But it still saw a constant flow of students every day.

The library had five levels:

First Floor → Contained books collected from external sources. Mostly used by outer disciples and servants.Second Floor → More advanced materials, only accessible to official disciples.Third Floor → Restricted to inner disciples.Fourth & Fifth Floors → Core levels, only accessible to approved core disciples.

Daniel wasn’t interested in magic-related books.

As long as he had enough mana, he could cast divine spells freely.

Instead, he headed straight for the first floor, searching for historical records.

The sheer number of books was overwhelming.

Since these books were randomly collected by students from various places, they included a lot of useless content.

For example:

A spell that used sunlight for illumination.A spell that created water in foggy weather.

Both were completely impractical, yet they still took up shelf space.

This slowed Daniel down a little.

After a while, he finally found a book in a corner—

A history book about the development of Thousand Suns Hall.

Daniel began reading.

Apparently, Thousand Suns Hall was established over a thousand years ago by members of Blue Jade Guild.

It was essentially a subordinate sect of Blue Jade Guild.

The purpose of these subordinate sects was to recruit and nurture talents for Blue Jade Guild.

Of course, Thousand Suns Hall wasn’t the only one—

There were many subordinate sects spread across different regions.

This book didn’t provide much new information…

To Daniel, most of it was irrelevant.

But it wasn’t completely useless.

The book briefly mentioned something about Blue Jade Guild:

“After a great upheaval, Blue Jade Guild rose to power and took control once again.”

“Great upheaval”…

Seeing these words, Daniel couldn’t help but think back to when he established the New God Realm.

Could this upheaval refer to that event?

There was no way for him to know for sure.

So, Daniel began searching for more books related to the term “upheaval.”

Eventually, he found one—

“A History of World Changes.”

Seeing this title, Daniel immediately took the book and began reading.
