I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Although this was not Lis’s original intention, as the number of people and elves Kane Floating City protected grew, more were willing to believe in him.

This is also why more strong individuals emerge during times of world turmoil.

Meanwhile, a thought suddenly appeared in Lis’s mind.

If his speculation was correct, it wasn’t just the Elf Gods; even the Gods of Order were hoping for Lis to succeed in ascension soon.

Could it be that...the gods were willing to pay a small price for this?

Lis thought of this and made up his mind.

...

Dawn Sacred Capital Landel,

Morris looked at Lis before him, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Even though I know your strength, I still think your request is a bit too much."

"But the Pope still agreed, didn’t he?"

Looking at Morris, Lis said with a gentle smile.

"...Indeed."

Morris nodded helplessly and said:

"I never thought the church could agree to such a request from you."

Yesterday, after returning to Danerluo Port, Lis specifically sought him out.

Morris knew Lis had been battling Abyss Demons in the Elf Forest and knew that Lis had eliminated several Demon Demigods in previous fights.

He thought Lis returned this time to discuss strengthening support for the Elf Clan with the Church of the Gods.

In fact, the Blood Battle in the Elf Forest region was where Gaia World bore the most pressure from demon invasions.

The Demon’s Gate in the Elf Forest was also the most powerful.

The Church of the Gods was prepared for the complete destruction of the Elf Forest, and the spread of battle flames to the human kingdom bordering the Elf Forest.

After all, with Correlon’s fall, the strength of the Elf Clan was significantly affected.

However, the Church of the Gods didn’t expect that, with Lis’s help, the Elf Clan truly withstood the attacks of the Abyss Demons.

Of course, according to the Church of the Gods, Lis bore quite a bit of the pressure.

This was also why the Church of the Gods proactively arranged several demigods to go to the Elf Forest to help the Elven Clan guard their positions.

Because the Church of the Gods had seen the possibility of maintaining the battlefront in the Elf Forest.

So, when Morris saw Lis come to him this time, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

According to what he knew, Lis and his group eliminated multiple Demon Demigods in the previous conflict, so the pressure on the Elf Forest shouldn’t be too great now?

As we know, for the Church of the Gods, demigods are absolute powerhouses within the church.

The Dawn Church currently only has three demigods, and some Divine Churches even lack demigods.

The Church of the Gods being able to dispatch three demigods to support the Elf Forest was already giving as much support as possible.

The rest would only be the support of Legendary Strongmen and other Transcendent teams.

However, that level of support shouldn’t matter much to Lis.

Morris initially thought this way but didn’t expect Lis to make such a request.

He actually wanted to borrow all the divine and half-divine artifacts of the Dawn Church.

Lis’s reason was to better feel the power of divine ranks.

Morris considered this request quite outrageous.

You must understand; divine and half-divine artifacts are the greatest trump cards of every extraordinary force.

In a certain sense, they are more important than the church’s demigods.

Not to mention Lis isn’t a member of the Dawn Church; even if he were a church demigod, it would hardly be possible for him to gain such authority.

Throughout the church, aside from the Pope, no one else should have such authority.

Even though Morris and Lis had a good relationship, he didn’t believe the church would approve such a request.

So, Morris just wanted to help Lis relay his request to the Pope.

As a result, he just received a response from the Pope.

The church surprisingly agreed with his request.

Apart from the divine artifact representing the Pope’s authority, the [Dawn Holy Light Staff], Lis could access other divine and half-divine artifacts.

"I suppose the great God of Dawn is somewhat more appreciative of me?"

Lis said with a smile.

Hearing this, Morris could only give a wry smile.

Truthfully, Lis didn’t actually believe in the God of Dawn, so to say the God of Dawn favored him?

Even though Lis was a World Tree Favored, he shouldn’t have been regarded so highly?

Morris was skeptical.

However, Lis being granted access to the Dawn Church’s divine and half-divine artifacts must have gained the God of Dawn’s permission.

Though Morris didn’t quite understand, he still respected it.

Perhaps this was the consideration above the divine?

Lis didn’t know the range of thoughts in Morris’s mind, but the Dawn Church’s fulfillment of his request had already confirmed his previous hypothesis.

Indeed, the gods had high expectations for him and were keen for his swift ascension.

For this, not only the Elf Gods but other deities were willing to offer more help to Lis.

After much contemplation, Lis felt that gaining access to the divine artifacts of the Church of the Gods would benefit him more.

After all, if Lis, who mastered the [Wisdom] rule, could access those artifacts up close and study them, he could quickly grasp the rule power contained within those divine and half-divine artifacts.

Currently, what mattered most to Lis was mastering more rule power and integrating it into the [Wisdom] rule.

This was also how Lis could rapidly enhance the [Wisdom] rule.

Apart from the Dawn Church, other churches like the Earth Church and War Church might also agree to Lis’s request.

As for other extraordinary forces, Lis didn’t hold much confidence.

In terms of the Dwarf Kingdom, Lis could still use his dwarf avatar to access the half-divine and divine artifacts.

But for extraordinary forces like the Beastman Race, Lis felt that approaching them would only lead to being rebuffed.

After all, as a World Tree Favored, Lis didn’t have a good relationship with the Beastmen.

Previously, due to a certain incident, he confronted the Beastman Main God Gushu directly.

Although due to the Abyss Blood Battle, the Beastmen were heavily engaged against the Abyss Demons and didn’t trouble Lis further,

Lis didn’t believe the Beastmen held any favorable views of him.

Thus, he still kept his distance from the Beastmen whenever possible.

Now, Lis should first experience the artifacts of the Dawn Church.

Regarding this, Lis was quite looking forward to it.

In his previous life as a player, the divine artifacts of the Church of the Gods were well-documented, well-known to players.

However, few players ever came into contact with the half-divine and divine artifacts of the Church of the Gods.

Now, he had the opportunity to personally touch these treasures.

Thinking of this, Lis felt a little excited.

Due to the start of the Abyss Blood Battle, not all the divine and half-divine artifacts of the Dawn Church were stored in the Dawn Sacred Capital Landel.

According to Morris’s introduction, Dawn Church currently had two divine artifacts and three half-divine artifacts.

The divine artifacts are the [Dawn Holy Light Staff], symbolizing the Pope’s authority, and the [Dawn Sun Blade], representing the God of Dawn’s power of judgment.

Additionally, there are the half-divine artifacts [Dawn Crown], [Dawn Redemption Scripture], and [Eternal Day Robe].

These divine and half-divine artifacts were all created by the God of Dawn and bestowed upon the Dawn Church.

Of course, these artifacts weren’t exceptionally powerful for deities.

But they were already plenty for Lis.

After all, what Lis needed was to comprehend the rule power within them.

As for the power of these artifacts, Lis wasn’t concerned.

He had only been granted access to these artifacts, which didn’t mean he could take them away.

The priority was to comprehend the corresponding rule power from these divine and half-divine artifacts.

This would take a considerable amount of time for Lis.

Fortunately, after severely injuring the Abyss Demons earlier, he gained some downtime.

Lis had a premonition that through comprehending the rules from these artifacts, the [Wisdom] rule would likely meet the requirements for ascension.

Next, Lis would begin exploring other aspects required for the ascension ceremony.
