I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

After all, the divine power left in the Holy Tree by the Father of Oak is limited.

Lis has already consumed all the divine power left by the Father of Oak just to feel the fusion rule power of the Father of Oak for a longer time.

But the consumption to feel the powerful divine power is not something Lis can bear now.

So when the power of the Father of Oak was completely consumed, Lis had to pause.

Lis slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him appeared Odette, a look of concern on her face.

Odette naturally knew Lis’s strength was not something she could fathom, but Lis had been meditating under the Holy Tree for quite a long time.

She was somewhat worried whether Lis might really encounter some problem.

Upon seeing Lis awaken, Odette also breathed a sigh of relief and felt a bit self-mocking.

After all, someone as powerful as Lis hardly needed her concern.

Sure enough, she was overthinking!

Lis stood up, stretched, and loosened his body.

He then saw the ground covered with oak nuts and the withered Holy Tree behind him.

Seeing this, Odette recounted everything that happened to the Holy Tree during Lis’s meditation to him.

However, Odette did not tell Lis that other members of the council wanted to interrupt his actions for the Holy Tree.

After all, this would be an affront to a Demigod.

With their lackluster strength, they couldn’t withstand Lis’s pressure.

If Lis really wanted to punish them, the Oak Council wouldn’t intervene.

Odette didn’t want Lis to view the Oak Council negatively because of this, so she simply didn’t bring it up.

Listening to Odette’s recounting, Lis nodded slightly.

In fact, during the initial stage of his meditation, he could still perceive the external situation.

Including the changes happening with the Holy Tree at that time.

However, with the appearance of the fusion rule power of the Father of Oak, he focused entirely on this aspect of comprehension.

He didn’t much care about the external changes occurring.

Yet, he exhausted all the powers from within the Holy Tree during his meditation.

Later, it might be difficult for the Oak Council to restore the Holy Tree’s condition, and its members wouldn’t have such good opportunities to comprehend the power of a divine rank.

Lis rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

Although this was the Father of Oak’s intention, taking without giving wasn’t exactly right.

Maybe he could find some way to compensate the Oak Council later.

But just then, Lis noticed several of the onlookers staring at him with hostility in their eyes and couldn’t help but let out an amused chuckle.

Apparently, in the eyes of many Oak Council members, he had become the culprit for the Holy Tree’s withering.

Deal with it later!

Lis thought for a moment and decided to leave.

Having just awoken from the insight of the Holy Tree, he still had numerous thoughts in his mind needing to be sorted out.

Lis opened the Teleportation Gate, planning to return to Kane Floating City first.

Other matters could wait until later to communicate with the Oak Council!

Odette, seeing this, became somewhat anxious.

Why wasn’t Isidore here yet? She definitely couldn’t stop Lis.

At this moment, Isidore appeared in front of Lis and quickly said:

"Lord Lis, please wait a moment."

"Oh? Is it Isidore..."

Lis looked at Isidore and said with a smile, pausing his action for the moment.

His relationship with Isidore was pretty good, and their past acquaintance was quite an interesting memory.

Moreover, when Isidore once represented the Oak Council to cooperate with Kane Floating City, the communication was rather pleasant.

Lis naturally granted Isidore this courtesy.

"Lord Lis, as a representative of the council, I have something to discuss with you. Can you come with me?"

Isidore approached Lis and said directly.

"Not this time."

Lis shook his head slightly upon hearing this, noticing the anxious look on Isidore’s face. He smiled and said:

"The harvest this time is tremendous. I want to return to Kane Floating City quickly."

"If there’s anything, let’s talk about it here."

"Alright then!"

Isidore sighed in relief upon hearing this.

"Lord Lis, on behalf of the Oak Council, I congratulate you on receiving the inheritance from within the Holy Tree."

"It’s just luck."

Lis wasn’t bothered and continued:

"I hope you won’t mind that I consumed the Holy Tree’s power."

"This is My Lord’s arrangement. Although it’s somewhat regrettable, we equally hope to gain your friendship."

Isidore directly stated:

"On behalf of the Oak Council, I invite Lord Lis to join the council as a formal member. Are you willing?"

"Oh?"

Lis was a bit surprised at this.

He didn’t expect the Oak Council to not delve into the Holy Tree issue further but instead directly broach the topic of having him join the Oak Council.

Previously, Isidore had invited Lis to join the Oak Council.

At the time, as a World Tree Favored, he naturally had the qualification.

Lis somewhat agreed with the Oak Council’s philosophy, as long as it didn’t go to extremes.

But back then, Lis rejected the offer.

At that time, when Isidore invited him, he was busy with matters of Kane Floating City and Phillips Crystal and didn’t have the extra energy to focus on this issue.

Now, facing Isidore’s invitation again, Lis didn’t have any excuses to refuse.

The Oak Council has shown considerable sincerity, and Lis isn’t someone who just takes without giving back and leaves.

Besides, even if he joins the Oak Council, as a Demigod, no one would dare point fingers at him.

"Alright."

Lis straightforwardly accepted.

"The Oak Council welcomes your joining."

Isidore said with a smile, extending his welcome to Lis.

"During your meditation, the oak nuts that fell from the Holy Tree, how would you like to dispose of them, Lord Lis?"

This is the first time the Holy Tree has bloomed and borne fruit. Aside from a few initially removed, the vast majority still lay on the ground.

The Oak Council directed Odette to keep an eye on them, preventing others from taking them away.

These oak nuts were gathered due to Lis’s influence.

Transcendents could feel the abundant life force within them; they were indeed rare treasures.

Lis glanced at the oak nuts before him and beckoned forward.

The oak nuts before him flew up, disappeared into his hands.

"The rest can be handled by the association!"

Lis said to Isidore.

He could feel the power within these oak nuts, carrying a trace of the previous Wilderness and Nature essence of the Holy Tree.

For Transcendents, trying to comprehend rule power from this trace was quite challenging, but the rich life force was still beneficial.

Of course, for Lis, it wasn’t that significant, but he still took some away.

After all, fruits from the Holy Tree were very rare.

Bringing a few back for Risa and Taya to taste would be nice too.

"There’s one more thing."

Isidore, heeding Odette’s incessant signaling, said with some resignation:

"Lord Lis, Odette has just recently broken through to Legend and has never left Wilderness City before. She needs some experience."

"She wants to accompany you to Kane Floating City and stay there for a while."

"Would you be willing to take her with you?"

"No problem, it’s a small matter."

Lis glanced at Odette beside him and said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, there was this pleasant surprise, to be able to take along a Legend casually.

A "special" NPC like Odette would definitely be hugely popular among players, just like Taya.

Moreover, even without this reason, having an exotic beauty like Odette before him was quite pleasing to the eye.

Lis naturally wouldn’t refuse.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to Kane Floating City first."

Lis nodded to Isidore and said:

"We can discuss other matters when you come to me!"
