I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Who would want to do such a thing?

Lis sat at the table, his expression serious, his right index finger slowly tapping the table.

Want to seize Kane Floating City from a Legendary Mage?

A Demon Apostle obeying Demogorgon?

Evil God believers who detest the World Tree Favored?

...

After pondering for a moment, Lis thought that these three types of people were the most likely to be setting everything up against him.

With Magic Machinery Master Steven Kruger's previous failure as a reference, anyone trying to snatch the Floating City from Lis would surely be more powerful.

It's not surprising to bring out a Magic Book from the Magic Empire.

The other two possibilities aren't low either, since both have long histories and likely experienced the Magic Empire's prosperous era, making it very possible they possess such treasures.

The biggest threat to Lis now is the Demon Apostle directed by Demogorgon, as it could indeed draw Demogorgon to act personally.

Evil God believers are also dangerous, as who knows what abilities they might have.

As for the Legendary Mage, this is not an enemy Lis is particularly worried about.

Because after creating the Arcane Avatar ability and acquiring the exclusive specialty, Ten Thousand Spirit Incarnation, Lis's strength has increased rapidly.

Most importantly, it filled Lis's greatest weakness, the thin understanding of rules.

Now Lis is confident in facing stronger opponents, as long as it's not a Divine Rank power, Lis is confident in escaping with his life.

Of course, even so, it doesn't mean Lis is prepared to take risks now.

Anyway, staying in the Floating City is the safest for Lis.

Keep in mind, the fall of Kane Floating City once was due to the great collapse of the Magic Net.

Considering the current state of Kane Floating City and the presence of several Legendary figures alongside Lis, it would take at least a double-digit number of Legendary Strongmen to breach it.

If the enemy indeed prepares so many Legends to act, the Church of the Gods and the Elf Kingdom surely won't sit idly.

Having the World Tree Sage identity naturally grants Lis support from the Church of the Gods and the Elf Kingdom.

Thus, staying in Kane Floating City, there's almost no one who could threaten Lis.

However...

That being said, Lis can't possibly stay in the Floating City forever.

If they were truly targeting him, why didn't they act in the Swamp Lizard Man Nest small world?

After all, the arrangements they made in the Mist Wilderness small world were clearly meant to lure him out from the Floating City.

The Floating City can't enter the small world.

So, could they tell that the one appearing in the Swamp Lizard Man Nest was an Avatar and not the true self?

Tsk～

Got to say, getting targeted by such an enemy suddenly is somewhat troublesome.

Faced with the current situation, Lis couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

The sooner he figures out the opponent's plans, the more he can prepare.

However, Lis doesn't intend to act now.

After all, the one setting up traps is the opponent, Lis doesn't need to rush.

He'd like to see what else the opponent can do if he doesn't react at all?

Can't possibly attack the Floating City directly, right?

After much contemplation, Lis made a decision.

He still needs time to slowly digest his previous gains and convert them into strength.

He isn't in a hurry to break the deadlock.

...

Putting the matter of the Magic Empire aside, Lis fully immersed himself into arcane research.

The players in the Huaxia District celebrated heartily after achieving victory in the Blue Sea Mini World.

Perhaps because the struggle for Blue Sea Mini World ended too quickly, the second World Server has yet to open.

So during this time, the players are conserving energy for the next World Server.

The battle for Blue Sea Mini World nearly depleted all the resources of the Huaxia District players and top teams.

So they're all diligently working for the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, tirelessly transporting various supplies from the small world to Danerluo Port, like hard-working ants.

Meanwhile, players from other countries, besides continuing preparations, many have come to Danerluo Port through the Blue Sea Mini World.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat!

Let me see what's so special about the White Dove Chamber of Commerce!

As for Kane Floating City, these players don't yet qualify to enter.

And as Mora set up numerous White Dove Chamber of Commerce branches on other continents as per Lis's request.

Successfully recruiting many players.

As for those newly joined players, upon seeing the benefits of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, they couldn't help but exclaim how great it is.

Especially the Skill Store; they've never seen such an easy way to learn Professional Skills before?

No need to complete tasks, no need to spend contribution points, just pay a certain amount of Experience Points!

So, most international players who recently joined the White Dove Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but go on a spending spree, frantically learning various Professional Skills.

This also significantly increased the amount of Experience Points Lis recently accumulated.

Regarding the progress of the storyline after version 3.0, Lis doesn't care much anymore.

Apart from the large-scale conflict storyline between the Church of the Gods and the Evil God believers starting, Lis doesn't plan to get involved in player disputes.

The effect Lis wanted has already been achieved, the rest is to just gradually develop.

As for the Huaxia District players, Lis helped them secure the first World Server small world.

If they still lose their advantage later and lose to players from other servers, Lis would have nothing more to say.

So, Lis focused all his energy on researching arcane matters.

When he finally came out of retreat, Mora took him elsewhere.

Looking at the room filled with items, Lis was momentarily stunned.

Wait a minute... brother!

All these things are relics from the Magic Empire?

The room before Lis appeared like a magical treasure vault, with various items filling the walls, most being Magic Books and Magic Items, densely packed and dazzling.

The Magic Books piled together, some with covers inlaid with exotic gemstones, though now these gemstones have lost their former brilliance, turning dull in color, yet still vaguely exuding Magic Power.

The pages occasionally sparkled with a faint glow, like whispers of ancient knowledge, telling of forgotten Spells and incantations.

Magic Items were scattered all around, some with bizarre shapes, like twisted Magic Wands, or Crystal Balls engraved with complex runes, and others were small boxes adorned with seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary metallic decorations...

Though their colors were similarly dull, each item faintly emitted magical vibrations, some warm as the sun in spring, others cold as frost in winter, intertwining to form an indescribable atmosphere.

Apart from Magic Books and Items, the room was also filled with many peculiar, unidentifiable items.

Some seemed like strange statues excavated from ancient ruins, others were irregularly shaped, made of unknown materials stones, and some appeared to be remains of some creatures, carefully preserved.

These items also emitted faint magical auras, resonating throughout the room.

Looking at these treasures before him, Lis couldn't help but want to complain.

Where did the smart designer of this trap come from?

Without even looking closely, just by sensing the magical waves emitted by these Magic Items, Lis could confirm they were from the Magic Empire era.

But...

What is all this?

Lis could discern that among these Magic Books and Items, some were from the Heat-resistant Riel Magic Empire, some from the Alphatia Magic Empire, and others from the ancient Elf City State Airefanda...

Their auras felt about the same, but the style of the magic runes on them was very clearly distinguishable.

An archaeological site of a Magic Empire showcasing so many items of different origin suggests forgery.

Of course, this is apparent to a Legendary Mage.

Lis can now be certain that the one placing the trap was unlikely a Legendary Mage, but a Demon Apostle or an Evil God believer.

"Is there anything else in the relic?"
