I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

"Lis, don't you still need a good magic wand? I think this wand is very valuable!"

Mora looked at Lis and said with some excitement.

Faced with this situation, Lis didn't say much but began to contemplate.

Mora feels this way because he doesn't realize the ruins were fabricated by others, lacking any ulterior motives.

Moreover, Lis didn't stop Mora's arrangements to continue misleading the mastermind behind everything, allowing them to explore the ruins.

Mora is unaware of this and doesn't have a deep understanding of the secrets beyond the legendary, which is why he actively helps Lis explore the ruins.

Lis is certain that this mysterious hall, including the wand in the hall, was specifically prepared by the mastermind behind the scenes for him.

Moreover, the protection of this mysterious hall surely cannot be broken through by the strength of just one avatar.

Using a real valuable wand as bait, after confirming this, Lis takes action proactively,

which can also fulfill the opponent's aim to lure out Lis's true body.

To an ordinary legendary mage, in this situation, they're likely to fall directly into the opponent's trap.

After all, who would have thought such a huge cost would be spent to lure him out?

Moreover, the opponent's purpose is clear: to directly kill Lis without giving him a chance to escape.

Who could the opponent, who is willing to spend such a great cost, be?

Could it be to kill a demon apostle or the Evil God believers?

Lis couldn't determine, overall both possibilities exist.

To an ordinary legendary mage, after realizing this is a dangerous trap, they wouldn't dare to risk themselves.

No matter how great the temptation, one must have the life to enjoy it.

For Lis in the past, it was the same.

Moreover, to Lis, the allure of a legendary wand is merely that; it's not worth taking such risks.

But... Lis is very interested in the identity of the mastermind who prepared all this.

Since the era wave of Gaia World truly began stirring in the world from version 3.0 onwards.

In such a crucial moment, Lis definitely couldn't miss many important opportunities.

Staying in Kane Floating City is safe, but how long can such stability last?

Currently, the situation in Gaia World remains indistinct; various forces are still in a state of restraint and probing, especially the two forces led by the Church of the Gods and Evil God believers.

At this stage, staying in Kane Floating City is quite safe, but it's only temporary.

As it progresses to later stages, it's not impossible for a scenario where a dozen legendary strongmen attack Kane Floating City to occur.

While Lis is in Floating City, due to the presence of the Wisdom domain and Arcane Avatar, the speed at which his strength improves isn't slow.

But it's definitely not enough to give Lis the chance to control fate when real danger arrives.

For example, during the Abyss Blood Battle in the future, the number of legendary demons from the Endless Abyss exceeds those from Gaia Main World.

Because of Demogorgon's schemes, legendary demons in Gaia Main World are not oppressed and restricted by the world, able to fully exert their strength.

At that time, even if Lis had embarked on the Path to Divinity, solving this issue would still be extremely troublesome.

As a Favored of the World Tree, he is undoubtedly the primary target of those abyss demons in Gaia World.

This is something unavoidable; danger and reward go hand-in-hand.

Since benefiting from the conveniences brought by being a World Tree Favored, it's naturally impossible to elude the troubles and dangers it attracts.

Therefore, Lis doesn't wish to stay in Floating City to evade this danger.

Between proactive attack and passive waiting, he would certainly choose to be proactive!

To control all possibilities in his own hands, this is the true foundation of a Legendary Arcanist's strength.

Of course, Lis isn't planning to rush in mindlessly.

Judging by the opponent's preparations, it's almost certain that as long as they can lure out his true body, they can successfully kill him.

It's important to know that he is a Legendary Arcanist, as a disciple of Judgement Flame Stephens, the opponent must understand he is highly skilled in space magic, thus his self-preservation ability is very strong.

In other words, since the opponent has gone to such lengths, they have the confidence to successfully keep him.

Lis shook his head, feeling a bit reflective.

If not for the timely breakthrough of that ability, he truly wouldn't dare to risk against unknown preparations by the opponent.

But now, things are different.

The newly gained ability gives him the confidence to forcibly escape even when facing a strike from the demon prince Demogorgon.

Of course, this refers to the incident during the last Abyss Plane Fragment, facing an attack from Demogorgon's avatar.

If the demon prince acted personally, even divine entities wouldn't dare claim security in all circumstances.

However, even though there is enough confidence, Lis does not plan to immediately head to the Mist Wilderness small world.

Since the opponent has adequately prepared everything, ensuring he must act personally, he definitely needs to cooperate accordingly.

As a Legendary Arcanist, he is indeed confident in his acting skills.

...

Misty Wilderness small world,

In that small world devoured by eternal gray mist, time seems frozen, space distorted into blurry and despairing canvases.

The mist is no longer lightly swirling but heavily pressing down on every inch of land, like the embodiment of an ancient curse, locking all life and hope at an unreachable shore.

Deep, cold fog carries a determination to devour the light, causing human sight to lose direction after just a few steps, as though the soul were also sinking into endless darkness.

Dead silence permeates the surrounding wilderness, appearing in the heavy air, with each breath seemingly inhaling centuries of solitude.

No bird chirps, no insect hums, and even the wind's lament through the ruins is absorbed by the thick mist, leaving only an asphyxiating tranquility. This tranquility bears no hint of serenity; rather, it is the desolation after life's extinction.

Occasionally, the gray mist subtly stirs as if gently stirred by an invisible hand, revealing hidden scenes below – remnants and ruins, some standing, some collapsed, silently recounting past glories and today's decline.

The ruins are draped in a layer of gray decay, merging with the surrounding mist, witnessing time's ruthless erosion; once vibrant civilizations testify here, now seemingly becoming an island in the time desert, forgotten in the dust of history.

Amidst the ruins, three vague figures are waiting here.

Divine Son Luun of Hunting God Mara is sitting on a broken stone platform, eyes closed, seemingly concentrating on observing something.

While Pope Holmes of the All Beast Church and Torture Executor Juliana are staying to one side.

Holmes maintains a calm expression, attentively monitoring Luun's status.

Meanwhile, Juliana is leaning against a wall, appearing somewhat bored, playing with her slender fingers.

She seems to be recalling something that makes her "happy," a blush of excitement appearing on her attractive face.

The three of them exist in an unsettling silence, none making a sound.

Even passing fog beasts ignore the existence of these three, continuing without reaction to wander afar,

"A legendary mage has entered this small world."

Luun suddenly spoke, breaking the long-standing silence, yet he didn't open his eyes.

"Is it that Lis who has come?"

Holmes glanced at Luun, asking in a soft voice.

Juliana also glanced over with interest.

"If the aura you've provided is correct, then it's Lis."

"But the strength of this aura is somewhat peculiar; presumably, as predicted earlier, Lis himself hasn't come here personally; it's likely an avatar that has arrived."

"Didn't we already guess that? Then we continue to wait!"

Juliana waved her hand indolently, speaking without moving.

Luun didn't say much either, and the three resumed their previous waiting.

...

A day later,

"He's here!"

Luun spoke once again.

But this time, he didn't remain as before; instead, he immediately stood up, revealing a sickly smile and madness on his face.
