Chapter240-The Whereabouts of the 5-Element God King
hearing luke's response, the ink sea god king nodded.at first, he had thought this was just some minor beast clan skirmish.
but after entering the 5-element god realm, he realized the beast clan's reach had extended far too deep!
this was practically a full-scale invasion.
logically speaking, in such a situation,
the god king overseeing this realm would not remain indifferent.
even if there were some unspeakable difficulties, they should have informed the entire god realm.
even in these extraordinary times, with calamity looming,
everyone's attitude toward the beast clan was consistent.
regardless of disputes among the human races,
it was not the beast clan's place to interfere in human territories.
but clearly, the situation in the 5-element god realm was different.
some information had even been sealed off,
making it impossible to discern the true state of the 5-element god realm.
after entering the 5-element god realm, the ink sea god king had rushed to the south as quickly as possible,
this explained everything.
why hadn't ascension city been able to contact the 5-element god king or the temple?
it was because two beast clan god kings had arrived,
forcing the 5-element temple to activate its sealing magic array.
the ink sea god king concealed his presence and approached the magic array.
he projected a strand of mind power,
stealthily infiltrating the array.
though the sealing magic array was designed to isolate the temple,
the ink sea god king was somewhat familiar with its structure,
and he knew how to exploit its weaknesses.
sneaking in a strand of mind power was no trouble at all.
he was curious—what had happened to the 5-element god king?
even with two beast clan god kings present,
the 5-element god king could have summoned nearby god kings for help, couldn't they?
after all, the human races of the god realm had always been hostile toward the beast clan.
as long as the beast clan stayed in their own corner, there was no issue.
but stepping into human territory? that was asking for death.
the ink sea god king couldn't understand why no action had been taken.
once his mind power infiltrated the 5-element temple,
the truth became clear.
two months ago, the 5-element god king had left on an errand for reasons unknown.
since then, there had been no word from them.
as a result, the 5-element temple was powerless to respond to the pleas for help from the cities.
the god king simply wasn't in the temple,
and they had no way to contact them.
then, the two beast clan god kings arrived,
forcing the 5-element temple to activate the sealing magic array.
realizing this, the ink sea god king searched for some personal belongings of the 5-element god king,
using them to divine the god king's whereabouts.
the current situation was unacceptable for reporting back to daniel.
the 5-element god realm was in chaos,
the beast clan could attack again at any moment,
and the 5-element god king was missing.
returning to daniel with such results would mean forfeiting any support daniel could provide.
thus, the ink sea god king had to locate the 5-element god king first.
using his mind power,
he retrieved some personal items belonging to the 5-element god king
and began calculating their location.
at that moment, the 5-element god king was fleeing desperately with another person.
the two of them looked utterly disheveled.
"damn it! run faster! i can't believe i trusted you!
we've been running in circles for two months—when are we going to get out of this god realm?!"
the 5-element god king complained.
"aren't you a god king? if you could beat the greenwood god king,
we wouldn't be sneaking around like this!"
the person fleeing alongside the 5-element god king was none other than the grand elder of the greenwood god realm.
the greenwood god realm had long been preparing for its ascension to a higher world.
the greenwood god king sought to uncover the secrets of breaking through beyond the god king rank through this process.
the 5-element god king had been friends with the grand elder of the greenwood god realm,
which allowed them to learn some insider information.
at daniel's request,
the 5-element god king had used divine stones to purchase secrets about world ascension from the grand elder.
two months ago, the grand elder sent an urgent message,
claiming to have made an important breakthrough but fearing they wouldn't be able to leave the greenwood god realm safely.
the 5-element god king rushed to their aid, stay updated via empire
promising to escort the grand elder to safety.
and so, the two had been on the run for two months,
finally reaching the edge of the greenwood god realm.
once they left this realm,
no matter how powerful the greenwood god king was,
they would need time to investigate their whereabouts.
by then, the 5-element god king would have already delivered the information to daniel.
the greenwood god king wouldn't dare touch them with daniel as their backing.
"i've been a god king for less than ten thousand years—it's normal that i'm no match for them!
but don't worry, i have a powerful backer.
the greenwood god king is nothing to worry about!"
the 5-element god king reassured the grand elder.
that much was true.
as long as they could find daniel,
the greenwood god king would pose no threat.
but…
"where is this powerful backer you speak of?
have you contacted them to rescue us in the past two months?"
the grand elder asked, looking skeptically at the 5-element god king.
the 5-element god king had made such claims when they first sought help.
but now, two months later,
they were on the verge of escaping the greenwood god realm,
and no sign of this so-called powerful backer had appeared.
