I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Lis's rapid enhancement was due to the power of the Wisdom God he had received.

As long as Lis improved his physical fitness, he could gain the corresponding level of Divine Arts, and as the number of Wisdom Divine Arts he mastered kept increasing, the power feedback he could obtain from the Magic Pattern Array at his glabella also grew.

The Power of Faith and Magic Elements nourished Lis's body, and the top Body Refining Technique from Feis Kingdom in his mind, all these were reasons why Lis could enhance his strength so swiftly.

After successfully killing the snow leopard, Lis had already sensed a new breakthrough coming, which is why he did not stop to say another word to Rogel, instead finding a quiet place to sit down cross-legged.

As Lis slowly breathed, calming his emotions, his glabella also began to emit a polychromatic glow.

The colorful light slowly spread downward from Lis's glabella, eventually covering his entire body.

Under the influence of the colorful light, Lis's bones crackled, and he seemed to grow a few inches taller, with pale-colored scales slowly emerging on his skin.

"Huh~"

Lis let out a sigh, opened his eyes, and looked at the changes in himself.

"Is this the final advanced Divine Art, 'Dragon Power Skill'?"

"My physical strength has increased by fifty percent, and these ethereal dragon scales can also enhance my body's defensive strength."

The effect of 'Dragon Power Skill' was satisfactory, but Lis's expression was somewhat serious and deep.

I miscalculated!

Mastering all of the Wisdom Divine Arts is not the key to passing the second trial.

Lis felt a bit of a headache, as he had thought that mastering all the Divine Arts of the Wisdom God would allow him to pass the second trial, but 'Dragon Power Skill' was the last Divine Art he could master, and Priest Kelly had nothing left to teach him.

To be frank, it's that the Divine Arts created by the Wisdom God had no further parts, and even the highest 'Dragon Power Skill' was only equivalent to Three-Circle Magic.

If the key isn't in the Divine Arts, then where is it?

Lis pondered slowly in his heart. The scope of this Dream World was not extensive, comprising only Snow Ridge Town and the surrounding Luoxue Mountains, with Magic Beasts Lis absolutely could not contend with further away, which must be the boundary of this Dream World.

So it must fundamentally be within Snow Ridge Town!

Could it be this Magic Pattern Array?

Lis touched his glabella, feeling somewhat headachy.

During this half year, he had not stopped researching and exploring the Magic Pattern Array at his glabella even for a moment, but in the end, he had no valuable findings.

This Magic Pattern Array must have been created by that Legendary Arcanist, and it might even be their most precious culmination of work, with densely packed assorted special runes ingeniously combined together, just observing them made Lis feel dizzy.

In this half year, Lis could only barely keep the Magic Pattern Array firmly in his mind, let alone analyze and decipher it; he couldn't even reproduce it.

Having no other direction, could he only start with this Magic Pattern Array?

Lis quickly made up his mind.

In his view, the special Magic Pattern Array was the most precious treasure of this relic, even if he did not pass the trial in the end, seizing the excellent training opportunity in the Dream World to study it was still worth the trip.

Lis quickly resolved himself and threw most of his energy into the process of researching and deciphering the Magic Pattern Array.

Time, like a heavy slap from the God of Dawn brother, flew by in a daze.

...

In the first year,

Lis could still only barely visualize the Magic Pattern Array at his glabella, bit by bit exploring each rune, unable to continue the mental exercise for long before needing to stop and rest to recover from the mental exhaustion.

...

In the third year,

Lis had essentially grasped every Magic Rune in the Magic Array, now exploring the secrets of each combination within the array. Perhaps it was the prolonged research that made Lis increasingly familiar with this Magic Array; the spiritual power consumed by his mindful visualization became lesser and lesser, making his research ever more relaxed.

Lis was fully immersed in the study of this arcane Magic Array, roaming within the esoteric knowledge left behind by a Legendary Arcanist, which had become a delightful pleasure for him.

Although the time spent on physical training had greatly decreased, with the nourishment from the Power of Faith and Magic Elements, Lis's strength had also grown. Under his protection, no Magic Beast dared approach Snow Ridge Town anymore.

...

The tenth year,

In the temple of the Wisdom God, Lis sat with closed eyes before the Divine Statue. Now in his twenties, his aura seemed ordinary and unremarkable, having lost the spiritedness of his earlier years, rather embodying a demeanor of wisdom refined by the passage of time.

Throughout these years of analysis and research, Lis had almost completely penetrated the secrets of that Magic Array.

As his research deepened, Lis vaguely sensed a mysterious connection between the Magic Rune at the center of his forehead and the Divine Statue of the Wisdom God in the temple. Experience new stories on empire

Within the temple, there was a serene quietude, seemingly untouched by the bustle of Snow Ridge Town.

Lis stood up and opened his eyes, slightly lifting his right hand, just like the statue in front of him.

Gradually, the Magic Elements in the temple began to converge towards Lis's right hand, drawn by an inexplicable force.

A faint five-colored glow emanated, and a multi-colored, translucent sphere appeared in Lis's right hand.

Looking at the familiar sphere, Lis muttered,

"Is this the Magic Array?"

"I did it!"

"Yes, you did!"

A familiar voice sounded from behind. Lis turned around to see Priest Kelly standing behind him, his gaze fixed on the orb in his hand.

At the same time, Lis noticed that the world outside the Black Temple seemed to be gradually losing its color, finally turning into a pure white space.

Has the second trial ended?

Did I pass?

Lis, looking down, noticed that his body was no longer that of the muscular McKay, but had returned to his own form, yet the colorful sphere in his hand still existed.

With a wave of his hand, Priest Kelly drew the sphere from Lis's grasp uncontrollably into his own.

Examining the sphere closely, Kelly waved it away and looked at Lis in admiration,

"I only wanted to test you, but I didn't expect you'd really figure it out."

"Yes, Master Sphinx."

Kelly, or rather Sphinx, couldn't help but shake his head and laugh,

"I didn't expect you to have noticed, quite perceptive."

Lis nodded silently.

Priest Kelly in the second trial's Dream World was quite peculiar, not to mention your current state—it would be even more absurd not to realize!

"Congratulations, Lis Kain."

Sphinx's young and handsome face smiled, his eyes expressing joy and admiration.

"You are the third person to pass the second trial, but the most surprising one to me."

"As a bonus, I'll give you a small reward. If you have any questions, now is the time to ask me."
