SOS for my first render?

Hello to everyone!

I am fairly new to DAZ although I wanted to get to it for long time and I have just begun testing waters with rendering after reading everything I could about it.

I was hoping to use some of  my renders  for prints (23 x15 cm ideally) so I decided to start adjusting resolution for renders as suggested in another thread for prints in similiar size. 
I started with a scene with simple background and zero props but lots of magic lights... I expected fully the computer to work for overnight from what I read, for HD format, but now I am concerned that after one full day rendering is still up to less than 30% .

furthermore, the central figure dealing magic is quite perfect now, the but the rendering looks to be very slow on the very basic background ( that looks very badly cut in squares right now? 
I am not sure if I have to consider this normality or not, or whether I am better off changing something in the rendering data?

Can someone give me some advice ?

    I picked an HD wallpaper of a Dawn from pexels ( 13,9 k heavy, I just checked).

    Is that the file size? if so it's pretty small, especially if it is meant to be an HD image. If it's a wallpaper it will be a limited view, are you applying it as an environment map (which requires a very different kind of image)?

    might that be issue then? a background image too hard to work in the scene as the size is not fit? I thought for a trial run a wallpaper could be ideal thing... I have applied it as a backdrop!
