I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

But likewise, if the stamina bar is completely exhausted, no matter how full Lis's magic power is, he will feel extremely exhausted.

At the same time, he will no longer be able to ignite the Flame of Life.

However, the exhaustion from the Flame of Life does not cause any harm to Lis's body.

As long as he rests well, Lis will become a strong man again.

As for the magic of the Flame of Life, Lis has yet to fully comprehend it.

Currently, the Flame of Life shows an extremely effective healing effect on various injuries.

Besides that, with the Flame of Life, Lis has to some extent gained the ability to manipulate life force in the surrounding environment.

With the life force he controls, Lis can use it to heal injuries, accelerate plant growth, enhance skills, etc.

Moreover, this life force can even slightly extend one's lifespan.

However, for Lis right now, this effect is not particularly meaningful.

Nonetheless, the ability of the Flame of Life has opened up a new field for Lis.

The Flame of Life might very well be connected to the capabilities of the World Tree Yggdrasil.

If that is true, then the significance of the Flame of Life is immense.

Lis is attempting to integrate the abilities of the Flame of Life into the arcane arts.

Lis even wants to incorporate the Flame of Life into the forging of magic equipment.

But currently, Lis has not yet found a clue.

However, that's another matter altogether.

Upon seeing the Flame of Life, Kelleb immediately believed Lis's identity,

as the vibrant green flame in front of them was too miraculous.

Not only could he feel the vibrant life force within it, but also an incredibly strong power of order.

This power even stirred the power within Kelleb, giving him a sense of longing.

This situation, Kelleb believed, was not the doing of Evil God believers.

If those Evil God believers could achieve such things, they would be no different from the True God Church.

Thus, Kelleb's expression towards Lis became much more gentle, without the previous wariness.

"Honored World Tree Favored, I didn't expect to see you here."

Lis waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Just call me Lis, no need to be so formal."

"And Kelleb, don't blame me for probing, it's because those Evil God believers are too cunning."

"I had to confirm your identity first."

Kelleb nodded in agreement and said:

"Indeed, otherwise, I wouldn't have been..."

"Wait, Lord Lis, how did you determine they are Evil God believers?"

Kelleb reacted and looked at Lis, asking.

Although he and Richie had suspected, they found no evidence.

How could this World Tree Favored confirm it so certainly?

"Lis, do you know something?"

Kelleb asked, looking at Lis.

"Indeed, I do."

Lis nodded and said:

"I don't know who that Day Elf that broke into the Heart of Molten Fire is, but I was not far away when you were attacked that day."

"I can confirm that the Legendary Day Elf was an Evil God believer in disguise and not someone from the Elf Kingdom."

"And the disguise is likely related to the God of Thieves and the Shadow King's believers."

"In fact, the Day Elf that attacked you that day left through the Shadow Plane."

"Is... it like this?"

Kelleb was uncertain.

But deep inside, he was willing to believe Lis's words.

After all, if Lis as the World Tree Favored cannot be trusted, then perhaps no one else can be.

Meanwhile, Kelleb also knew that as the World Tree Favored, Lis had very close ties with the Elf Kingdom.

Lis even established his own extraordinary forces, Nature's Wrath, in the Elf Kingdom.

Kelleb also remembered Richie mentioning that the Royal Court had sent people to the Elf Kingdom to demand an explanation.

Perhaps Lis's involvement was requested by the Elf Kingdom for this reason.

Or maybe the Elf Kingdom had long noticed the Evil God believers disguising themselves as people of the Elf Kingdom.

That's why Lis, as the World Tree Favored, appeared in Lonely Mountain City.

The more Kelleb thought about it, the more likely he believed this was the case.

No way, as the World Tree Favored, Lis naturally gained the goodwill of the Church of the Gods clergy.

After all, Lis had no fundamental conflicts with the Church of the Gods and might even become a remarkably strong presence in the future.

The True God Church generally has goodwill towards Lis.

Not to mention the War God Church associated with Lis.

Lis didn't know what Kelleb was thinking, but it was evident that he had earned Kelleb's trust.

"If that's the case, then what should be done?"

Kelleb asked curiously.

Lis approached him for a reason, perhaps to ask him to do something?

"Have you been collaborating with the Dwarf Kingdom in search of that Day Elf these past few days?"

Lis didn't directly answer but instead asked back.

"Indeed."

Kelleb hesitated for a moment, nodding as he replied.

Then he recounted his collaboration with Richie to Lis.

"That's the situation."

Kelleb said to Lis somewhat helplessly:

"We want to confirm if it is indeed the Evil God believers' plan, but so far, we haven't found any clues."

"It's as if that 'Day Elf' has indeed left Lonely Mountain City."

"Have you... searched those underground tunnels?"

Lis pondered for a moment and said to Kelleb.

Lonely Mountain City, as the Royal Capital of the Dwarf Kingdom, the most fortified place, naturally had various arrangements and plans.

But so far, there were no clues, which was quite strange.

So when Kelleb mentioned that there might be spies of Evil God believers within the Dwarf Royal Court and temple, Lis considered this indeed possible.

Now it seems the most likely place is underground caves.

After all, it's the most concealed spot in Lonely Mountain City; the abandoned mines may be hiding various secret bases.

And Lis recalls that in the future, a calamity was caused due to Evil God believers hiding in the mines of Lonely Mountain City.

But that's the later version.

Without a doubt, these Evil God believers could be plotting in secret even now.

"There, Richie mentioned the temple people were responsible for searching the mines, but with no results so far."

Kelleb thought aloud.

Dwarf Temple?

Lis pondered, somewhat uncertain.

Indeed, the Dwarf Temple is supposedly located within the mines.

So this matter is handed to the temple troops?

The previously found Evil God believer bases were all within Lonely Mountain City, but nothing was discovered in the mines.

Maybe they genuinely found nothing... or perhaps there's a spy right in the Dwarf Temple?

Are they trying to divert the dwarves' attention?

Lis speculated.

If it's underground, it could well be believers of the God of Thieves or the Shadow King.

These people enjoy staying in dark places like caves and mines.

"I don't believe those Evil God believers would leave Lonely Mountain City in this manner."

"They're bound to have more schemes."

Lis said to Kelleb.

"I think so too..."

Kelleb shook his head and said:

"But we haven't found any clues so far, especially regarding that Day Elf."

"Whether they plan to leave or are plotting something else, it's extremely dangerous."

"Of course."

Lis looked at Kelleb and said:

"In fact, I don't think they can wait much longer."

"What do you mean?"

Kelleb seemed puzzled.

"Once they realize they cannot stay any longer, they'll have to act soon."

"What?"

Kelleb was taken aback, and then his face changed.
