I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Elf Forest,

For Lis and the Elf Clan, the Abyss Blood Battle is essentially a prolonged tug-of-war.

Even if they’ve gained an advantage on the battlefield through extensive preparation, they couldn’t establish a final victory, only managing to keep the front line at its current status.

Because Lis and Adela understand that it’s difficult to completely drive the Abyss Demons back under the present conditions.

After all, if the Endless Abyss’s erosion of the World Tree Yggdrasil remains unresolved, even if they destroy the Demon’s Gate, it won’t be long before it’s reborn.

Therefore, rather than expending exorbitant costs to attack territories occupied by the Abyss Demons, Lis and Adela chose to temporarily maintain the front line where it is now.

Currently, the situation in the Elf Forest is quite dire, with the southern area of the Forest completely fallen, occupied by Abyss Demons.

The forest there has also been devastated by the demons, almost turning into a barren land.

And now, the front line in the Elf Forest has advanced to a place not far from the Elf Royal City.

In other words, if the Elf Royal City is breached by the Abyss Demons, it almost signifies the collapse of the entire Elf Forest.

Just like in Lis’s previous life.

However, the good news now is that with Lis’s help, the Elves’ situation is much better than in the past life.

In the past, without holding out, they retreated to the Elf Royal City, but now they’re choosing to maintain the front line here actively.

Due to the sparse population of the Elf Clan, it’s impossible to manage the entire Elf Forest; giving up some territory is imperative.

At the same time, the Elf Royal City is currently the strongest place for the Elf Clan.

Accumulated over countless years, the Elf Royal City is extraordinarily solid, with various means laid out by the divine beings here enough to resist the assaults of the Abyss Demons.

And now, the Jade City, originally closer to the edge of the Elf Forest, has become the rear.

Jade City is now responsible for continually clearing the Demon’s Gate and Abyss Demons from the rear of the Elf Forest, while also hastening collaboration with the Church of All Gods.

In fact, this encounter between Lis, the Elf Clan, and the Abyss Demons has already imparted a significant sense of urgency to the Church of All Gods.

This time, Lis and others faced the assault of eight Demigod Demons.

This indicates that the Abyss Demons have concentrated quite a terrifying force on the Fanor continent.

Although conditions elsewhere on the Fanor continent aren’t too great either, the Church of All Gods rapidly mobilized forces to support the Elf Forest this time.

Otherwise, once the Elf Clan is thoroughly defeated by the Abyss Demons, and the entire Elf Forest becomes unobstructed for the Abyss Demons, it will be difficult for the Church of All Gods to recover.

After all, the northern part of the Elf Forest is home to numerous Human Kingdoms, which is an absolutely crucial area for the Church of All Gods.

So, now, helping the Elf Clan maintain the front line as much as possible is the most vital task.

Lis did not sustain any injuries in this confrontation with the eight Demigod Demons.

But simultaneously, he felt somewhat stifled during the battle.

Even though Lis has many means against the Abyss Demons, his opponents have clearly learned from past losses and become cleverer, with at least three Demigod Demons targeting him simultaneously.

In such circumstances, no matter how many tactics Lis has, he can only be suppressed for a while.

Adela and another Elf Demigod can, at most, help him to hold off just three Demigod Demons.

Under such conditions, it’s no wonder the Elf Clan in the past life swiftly crumbled, directly losing the Elf Forest, their most important territorial stronghold.

And right after that battle, support from the Church of All Gods arrived.

Lis looked at the three Demigods from the Church of All Gods appearing before him and felt much relieved.

This time, those who came to support the Elf Clan were Demigods from the Dawn Church, Earth Church, and Suffering Church.

Standing on the left side is the Dawn Divine Son "Dawn Light Bearer" Osmond of the Dawn Church.

He wears a shimmering platinum robe, with fabric seemingly woven from sunlight, dotted with fine gold radiance, as if every step he takes is on the rising morning sun.

His features are handsome yet entirely devoid of earthy aura, with skin as white as jade exuding a gentle warmth; a small diamond-shaped gold mark is set at the center of his brow, the symbol of the Dawn Church’s sun emblem.

Lis can feel gentle yet inviolable divinity from it.

His eyes are a clear golden amber, and when his gaze falls, there’s no arrogance at all, but it naturally exudes a kind of compassionate overlooking of all beings.

His long hair is tied with a gold band inlaid with tiny diamonds, the tips glowing faintly golden, and when he raises his hand, his fingertips are wrapped in delicate sunlight patterns, with even breath seeming to carry the morning light’s flow.

Surrounding him is a halo of soft light, dispelling all shadows, as if he is the incarnation of the morning light, carrying the breath of hope and redemption.

Standing in the middle is Cecilia, the "Earth’s Bountiful Giver" of the Earth Church, unlike the Dawn Divine Son, Osmond, she exudes a heavy and steady aura, as if integrated with the land beneath her feet.

She wears a deep brown brocade gown, the hem embroidered with meandering vines and plump ears of grain, with stitches inlaid with tiny fragments of black jade and agate, symbolizing the earth’s abundance.

Her form is voluptuous yet not bloated, with gentle features, her brows and eyes carrying the earth’s broadness and kindness, with skin a healthy shade of honey, exuding the scent of sunlight and soil.

Her hands are wide and warm, with fine calluses on her fingertips, marks left by years of touching the earth and nourishing crops, holding a wooden staff entwined with ivy, emitting abundant life force.
