I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

The lost Azela Floating City,

The interior of the Magic Tower is completely different from the mysterious Magic Rune-covered outer walls, as if stepping into another tranquil and grand world.

Upon entering the tower, the first thing that catches the eye is the vast and towering space, with sky-blue walls extending to the limits of sight, a height of over a hundred meters that makes one involuntarily tilt their head back in awe.

The pure and deep blue is like an endless clear sky, giving a feeling of calmness and vastness. Instead of the complex magic runes and circuits of the outer wall, the walls are inlaid with sparkling crystal stones, emitting a soft and bright light, like the brilliant stars in the night sky.

In Lis's eyes, the first floor of this core high tower still has many pieces of equipment whose uses are unknown, showing that once this was the core of the entire Floating City, but after thousands of years, no one has been here anymore.

Buzz~

As Lis glanced around the interior of the high tower, a subtle operating sound broke the silence.

A magic lift platform, like an ark floating in the air, descended slowly from the top of the tower.

Its silver surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light of the surrounding crystal stones.

The platform landed steadily without a bit of shake, as if it were gently placed by an invisible magic hand.

It seemed this was specifically inviting Lis and Joyce.

Was it that Magic Intelligent Life Azela?

Lis and Joyce sensed nothing unusual and stepped onto this platform.

For the two who have achieved Legendary status, this uninhabited Floating City, despite being once the ultimate crystallization of mage wisdom, posed a threat to them, but without a Guardian, it was basically impossible to keep Lis and Joyce.

After all, the mage is the core of the Floating City.

The two Floating Cities of the Pan-Continent Mage Association are so powerful essentially because they reflect the formidable strength of the Mage Association.

Standing on the floating platform, Lis and Joyce watched the surrounding scenery rapidly retreat, countless floors with platform docking interfaces flew by as they headed straight up to the highest floor.

Soon, the platform carried both Lis and Joyce steadily to the top of the tower.

Lis stepped off the platform, looked at the wide-open Magic Door ahead, and walked in directly with Joyce without stopping.

"Welcome to you, Lord Lis, Lord Joyce."

The gentle voice sounded again, just like the voice Lis had heard when exploring the Floating City before.

The Magic Intelligent Life controlling the entire Floating City, Azela!

Since that time, except for instructing the Black Cat, Lis had not seen Azela again.

So this is the core control room of the Floating City?

Lis looked around this room, aside from the Magic Pattern Circuits and Magic Array Patterns covering the entire wall, there was nothing special other than the slowly rotating blue orb in the center of the room.

Looking at that already somewhat damaged blue orb, Lis was a bit surprised.

If this is Azela's body, then it seems its status isn't very good?

No wonder it has been in a sleep hibernation state before.

"Azela, I told you to remove those Elemental Magic Statues in front of the tower earlier, didn't I?"

"If Lis dismantles them, it will take a lot of resources to repair them!"

The Black Cat stayed on Lis's shoulder, speaking toward the blue orb.

In its view, this Floating City can already be considered Lis's property.

What's Lis's is also its.

During Lis's absence, Azela had been guiding the Black Cat to become familiar with the entire Floating City.

The fact that the Black Cat can 'hack' into the Magic Pattern Circuit of the Azela Floating City Library shows that this guy has the talent.

Although Azela didn't give the Black Cat too much authority, it still had the opportunity to become familiar with various parts of the Floating City.

The Black Cat naturally knew, although with Miserla's Core the Floating City wouldn't lack Magic Power supply, to construct or maintain Elemental Magic Statues requires consuming various precious magic materials.

It seems there are still many Elemental Magic Statues active in Azela Floating City, but compared to its peak, it's completely different.

And although the main body of the entire Azela Floating City is intact, restoring it to its optimal state would require a staggering amount of magic materials.

Under such circumstances, just now Lis and Joyce dismantled four Legendary Elemental Magic Statues, and it would take a lot of resources to repair them.

That is why the Black Cat felt distressed.

It knew Azela's plan, that after Lis controlled this Floating City, the Black Cat would manage it as the Magic Intelligent Life.

"That is the code of the Floating City."

Azela's voice echoed again, without any change in tone:

"According to the [Final Clause of Azela Floating City], Article two, to become the Controller of Azela Floating City, one must break through the High Tower's guardian."

"As for how to break through, whether it's an individual breakthrough or a cooperative breakthrough, there are no restrictions,"

"Hmph!"

The Black Cat turned its head away, stopped speaking, and continued to feel distressed over the Elemental Magic Statues it considered its possessions.

"Azela, since I have come here, does it mean I have qualified to be the Controller of this Floating City?"

Lis spoke to the blue orb, while Joyce beside him didn't care much, leaving it all to Lis to communicate.

He was observing the conditions in this control room, and there were a few virtual screens on one wall projecting scenes from other locations throughout the Floating City.
