Chapter 78: Chapter79-Human Emperor’s Proposal（Next Chapter is 78）

As expected of the Human Emperor—his combat power remained in a league of its own.

Daniel silently marveled in his heart.

In truth, with his current strength, Daniel could easily defeat even a 3-star Awakener in a single strike. However, when standing in front of the Human Emperor, an inexplicable sense of inferiority washed over him—a feeling that he couldn’t win no matter what.

Of course, that didn’t mean he couldn’t escape.

After all, he possessed not just one but two God Rank Skills: [Time Stream] and [Flashback]. These two powers alone were enough to ensure that, even in the face of insurmountable danger, Daniel could retreat unscathed. Together, they placed him in an almost unbeatable position.

In addition, the utility of [Eye of Insight] exceeded his expectations. Even when confronting the mighty Human Emperor, the ability still allowed him to read detailed attributes and information about the other party. That alone made Daniel all the more confident—if he could read someone like the Human Emperor, wouldn’t other opponents be practically transparent to him?

Of course, Daniel also assumed that the Human Emperor had hidden some of his deeper attributes—after all, the stronger someone was, the more they guarded their secrets and power reserves. True strength was often wrapped in mystery.

Just then, a prompt flashed in Daniel’s mind, projected from [Mist].

[Human Emperor Odin is attempting an inquiry.]

[Do you wish to block the attempt?]

It seemed not even the Human Emperor could bypass the defense of [Mist].

Daniel exhaled slightly in relief. His satisfaction with [Mist] increased even more—it truly was a safeguard that protected him from even the highest-level surveillance or magical probing.

At that moment, the Human Emperor turned his head toward the head of the Multiracial Commerce League and said in a calm voice:

"Do you have a quiet meeting room here? I’d like to have a proper conversation with Daniel."

"Of course. I wish you both a productive and pleasant discussion," the commerce head replied with a respectful bow. Without delay, he led the two into a secluded conference chamber.

"This is our most classified meeting room. It’s where we usually conduct top-tier negotiations related to the League’s critical alliances and operations," the head explained as he opened the door. "Your Excellency Human Emperor, Prince Daniel, you are free to speak here without concern. The room is reinforced with hundreds of anti-surveillance formations. I can guarantee that no one will be able to intercept or eavesdrop on your exchange."

The Human Emperor swept his gaze across the room, giving a slight nod of approval. Clearly, the environment met his high standards.

Understanding the moment, the commerce head quietly took his leave. The large meeting room now held only two people: Daniel and the Human Emperor.

"To be honest," the Human Emperor began, his tone surprisingly warm, "I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time."

Daniel blinked in surprise, then smiled.

Whether or not the words were merely a diplomatic gesture, the Human Emperor’s attitude was courteous, and Daniel appreciated that.

"Haha, in fact, I’ve wanted to meet you for quite some time as well," Daniel responded. "I’ve heard many tales of your glorious deeds. It’s been my wish to pay you a visit in person."

The Human Emperor smiled gently. Seeing Daniel remain composed and respectful, neither arrogant nor servile, he couldn’t help but nod inwardly. As expected of the one chosen by a god—such calmness and poise at his age was far beyond ordinary.

Then, Daniel took the initiative to ask a question, his voice steady:

"Aside from what we’ve discussed, there’s something else I’ve been wondering. Why exactly do you want to make me a king?"

Now armed with the [Eye of Insight], Daniel could peer into the true thoughts and emotions of others. Asking this question at this moment wasn’t merely curiosity—it was a direct test. If the Human Emperor was hiding any hidden motives, Daniel would know instantly. And if any part of the answer felt untruthful, Daniel would reconsider whether he should accept the offered kingship at all.

Across the table, the Human Emperor paused and rubbed his brow, briefly falling into thought.

He hadn’t expected Daniel to bring it up so boldly.

Wasn’t this supposed to be his line of inquiry? When had the younger generation grown so daring?

But still, the Human Emperor couldn’t help but be impressed. Perhaps this boldness stemmed from true strength—or simply from the idealism of youth. Either way, Daniel had nerve.

After a short moment of contemplation, the Human Emperor gave his answer.

"If I speak plainly," he said slowly, "would it upset the one behind you?"

His question was more than just a question. It was a probe—a test of his own, aimed at understanding the god that stood behind Daniel. What were their intentions? Would they mind a mortal laying out ambitions and truths?

Daniel understood the subtext immediately. He wasn’t naïve.

He gave a light laugh and answered casually, "Your Excellency, gods only care about the things that matter to them. As for the rest—small matters like these—they won’t intervene."

Hearing that, the Human Emperor finally let out a breath of relief.

"In that case," he said, "I’ll be frank."

"You’re a devotee chosen by a god. I believe in your potential. More than that, I believe you might be the key to leading the human race out of the looming Millennium Apocalypse."

"That’s why I want to make you king. When the human race faces that final calamity, I hope you’ll do everything in your power to protect them."

Though he tried to stay composed, the worry in the Human Emperor’s voice was unmistakable.

Even he had no certainty in surviving the upcoming calamity.

Just an hour ago, they were still in the prologue of the Millennium Apocalypse. Yet the powerful gnome race had already been all but annihilated. What would happen when the true disaster began?

As the emperor of humanity, he had no choice but to plan ahead. He knew the human race would be in grave danger. After all, the last time the Millennium Apocalypse descended, they had barely survived. The race had stood on the very brink of extinction.

That’s why this time, the Human Emperor had to seize every opportunity. He needed Daniel on board.

Not only did he value Daniel’s raw strength and rising influence, but he also hoped to draw upon the divine presence behind him. Even if that god never directly took action, just the weight of their name might help shift the balance.

On the other side of the table, Daniel listened carefully. As the Human Emperor finished, Daniel silently activated the [Eye of Insight].

Within seconds, the answer came through: everything the Human Emperor had said was true.

He had laid his cards on the table.

Daniel did not immediately respond.

Sensing the pause, the Human Emperor continued in a steady tone:

"Of course, if you are to shelter our race, then you should also receive the rights and resources befitting such a role."

"Making you a king is both a symbol of our trust and a practical move to help you grow stronger."

"The stronger you become, the more people you’ll be able to protect when the Apocalypse arrives."

"I won’t bind you with any constraints. In fact, I will do everything I can to support you. All I ask is that you keep the human race in your heart."

"And... if necessary... I am prepared to accept that some sacrifices will have to be made."

His words were direct—but utterly sincere.

When it came to the Millennium Apocalypse, there would be no bystanders. Entire races might fall. Countless lives might be lost. That was why the Human Emperor said he could accept sacrifices—not out of coldness, but out of harsh, strategic necessity.

Daniel, hearing this, fell silent.

He didn’t give an immediate reply.

The Human Emperor, too, remained quiet.

The room was silent for a long while. Neither rushed to fill the void. In their stillness was a mutual understanding.

And as he watched Daniel deep in thought, the Human Emperor’s expression softened further.

The fate of the human race—such a weighty responsibility—should never be accepted lightly.

Daniel’s hesitation wasn’t a sign of weakness.

It was proof of sincerity.
