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

However, this time, Daniel noticed something special.

This time, the Tree of Origin didn't grow into a towering tree like before, but remained as it was—a small tree. It stood there without any changes.

It seemed like the situation that had occurred at Crossbridge Academy didn't happen to this tree.

The only difference was that this Tree of Origin had absorbed the residual power of gods and devils.

Could it be that these powers are limiting the Tree of Origin?

After thinking for a while, Daniel found the answer.

It wasn't that the Tree of Origin was limited, but that it had undergone a new change.

This was the new change Daniel discovered on this Tree of Origin.

Because he always felt that this Tree of Origin was far stronger than the one at the academy. But why did it appear like this?

Daniel began to think deeply.

Soon, he realized something: the world's rules around the small tree had subtly changed.

All of Daniel's small trees were grown by him, and there was no case of one tree having something that another didn't.

The only explanation for this situation was that the residual foreign powers of the gods and devils had caused the Tree of Origin to absorb forces and rules from other worlds.

This led to the Tree of Origin inadvertently absorbing the rules from other worlds during its cleansing process.

Afterwards, the Tree of Origin absorbed and adapted to these rules, better integrating them into the world.

So… this was why this phenomenon occurred.

It wasn't that bigger meant stronger.

This was especially true for plants.

Being tall often meant carrying more risks.

The current form was better suited to the Tree of Origin's growth environment.

As Daniel looked at the Tree of Origin, he could clearly feel that the tree seemed to be welcoming him. The leaves on the tree started to flutter.

After confirming that the Tree of Origin wouldn't cause any further incidents, Daniel left behind ten colorless forges, then led everyone away.

For now, the strange powers at Karea Academy could be put on hold.

Later, Daniel would be able to make contact with the Tree of Origin at Crossbridge Academy's lakeside and work together to eradicate the foreign powers that were corroding the world!

The snow eagle took off, leaving Karea Academy.

Upon seeing this, the headmaster let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, this thing was leaving.

Otherwise, anyone would instinctively feel fear if such a spell beast were to remain in the academy's back mountains.

Thankfully… everything was fine now.

At this moment, the headmaster remembered that he should inform that important person. Now that such a spell beast had appeared, capable of breaking through the academy's protective magic array…

The days ahead would certainly be more difficult.

"Headmaster, what exactly is the purpose of such a terrifying spell beast coming to our academy?"

Some students, of course, had also noticed the snow eagle's situation. They expressed confusion.

After all, how could such a terrifying spell beast come and do nothing? It just wandered around the back mountains for a while before leaving?

This matter had to be reported to that important person. Otherwise, if the academy's magic array were to be broken again by the spell beast, it would be troublesome.

The direction that the snow eagle had attacked was where Nora had gone, the very place where the battle had begun.

Before leaving, Daniel had already restored the magic arrays around the spring.

Now, unless someone went in to check personally, everything would appear as it was before.

The key point was that the battle with Nora was imminent.

Even if the enemy managed to return to Karea Academy in time, the most they could do was check the magic arrays.

To break through these complex magic arrays, there were time constraints and the issue of power leakage…

In short, Daniel believed no one would discover that the Tree of Origin he had planted had already started to purify this place.

The reason Daniel didn't want this matter to be discovered for now was mainly because Nora was still preparing for that battle organized by those other people.

Now was not the time to alert the enemy.

When the time comes…

If possible, Daniel might just clean everything up in one go.

...

House Ponton.

"Master, the Karea Academy's base at Fire Abyss Secret Realm is ready."

Lord Ponton looked at the old man and said.

"That's good. Tomorrow, I'll take her to familiarize herself with the environment there."

"Master, I have a question that's been bothering me. I really need to ask you."

Lord Ponton lowered his status and asked.

"Today, I'm in a good mood. Feel free to ask."

"Master, why did you choose that girl from a remote area to be a candidate for the academy?"

Lord Ponton had been thinking about this question ever since he met Nora.

In fact, he had always believed that the position should have gone to his son.

But after his son's accident, he couldn't understand why a girl from such a far-off place would be chosen.

After all, there were plenty of geniuses at Karea Academy. Why pick someone like her?

It didn't seem to make sense.

The old man smiled and replied:

"If you think it's unreasonable, then let your young ones from House Ponton… No, I should say those who are qualified, try. If they can defeat Nora, then it won't be a problem to change the candidate."

Hearing the old man's words, Lord Ponton's smile couldn't be contained. He became excited and said:

"Really, Master? As long as someone defeats Nora, the House Ponton candidate will be chosen for the academy?"

The old man had expected such a reaction from Lord Ponton.

"Yes, but I believe you've already tried to do this. But let me remind you, Nora is not someone who can be easily dealt with. If your young ones from House Ponton are too weak… it might be a one-way trip."

The old man subtly warned.

At this moment, Lord Ponton wasn't paying attention to the old man's caution.

He was already immersed in the thought that his family might once again become the chosen ones of the academy…

Winning everything, gaining attention from important figures.

Just then, two figures hurried over.

One was Zero, who had previously accompanied Nora on the tour, and the other was the old man's subordinate from Karea Academy.

Both had urgent expressions, as if something important had happened.

"Master, something unexpected has happened at the academy."

"Headmaster, there's been some trouble…"

The old man quickly led his subordinates to a secluded area and asked:

"What happened? What could possibly go wrong at the academy?"

The old man knew that since he wasn't at the academy, if something truly happened at this time…

"The academy's protective magic array was breached by a spell beast."

"What? Are you sure it was a spell beast?"

The old man couldn't believe it.

"Yes, after the spell beast broke through the magic array, it fought with the headmasters. In the end, one of our teachers was injured. But strangely, the spell beast left on its own. After spending some time in the back mountains, it just left."

When the old man heard "back mountains," the disinterest on his face turned into serious concern.

He knew very well what precious items were stored in the back mountains.

Even if something happened at the academy, the back mountains absolutely couldn't be compromised!

To him, the back mountains were a place no student would willingly visit.

Let alone the numerous magic arrays he had laid out to ensure safety.

Everything should be fine. But for some reason, the old man suddenly had an uneasy feeling, as though something bad was about to happen.
