I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

The most important thing is, this equipment is released piece by piece.

Damned!

How long will it take to get a full set?

Originally, players were thinking about exchanging with each other, but then they discovered a special notice on the equipment they received.

Already bound to player, cannot trade!

Damn!

The White Dove Chamber of Commerce's store even kindly offered a suggestion: recycle one piece of equipment, and you can exchange it for three lottery chances.

It seems nice, but given the probability of getting purple equipment, exchanging is a blood loss!

But if you don't exchange, equipment for other professions will just sit in your hands.

So most players still bit the bullet and exchanged for more lottery chances.

For a while, players seeing the appearance of purple light were not feeling great at all. Honestly, blue rewards might even be better!

However, some were happy while others were troubled. There were some Luck Guy players who quickly drew an entire set of their profession's equipment.

On the player forums, it caused quite an outrage.

At the same time, Lis gained a new title on the player forums.

Black-hearted Merchant Lis!

That said, the prizes still needed to be drawn.

Aside from the equipment drawn, other items had no restrictions.

All things considered, this lottery wheel was still very friendly to players.

Liss is completely unaffected by the players' accusations.

This situation was specially designed by him, and looking at the continuously rising experience points, Lis's conscience doesn't hurt a bit.

The lottery has only just opened, and Lis has already harvested over a billion experience points. What task can harvest experience faster than this?

Awesome!

Although it looks like Lis is exchanging gold coins for experience points, he hasn't actually spent much.

After mastering the Floating City, various magic factories within it can already produce countless types of magic items.

But now the Floating City is still under maintenance, so Lis can't directly explode production capacity and troops yet.

Once operations are officially underway, Lis can further increase production capacity by recruiting players to join the magic factories.

So, for Lis, ordinary extraordinary materials no longer hold much value.

Exchanging them for experience points is indeed an entirely worthwhile transaction.

Moreover, after breaking through to legend, the accumulated experience points Liss had previously saved were spent clean, and he urgently needs experience points to enhance his power.

At the same time, Lis formally enabled Mora to spread the [Self-Charging] Magic Rune products, beginning to expand vigorously.

After the breakthrough to legend and mastery of the Floating City, Lis already has the qualification and strength to protect the huge benefits brought by the [Self-Charging] Magic Rune.

He doesn't need to worry as much as before.

Seeing the experience points jumping continuously on the system panel, Lis nodded in satisfaction.

Up to now, all of Lis's plans have been proceeding very smoothly.

The Church of the Gods and other extraordinary forces brought more "sincerity," and the players' harvesting plan is also going very smoothly.

Just continue normally from here.

Lis also returned to the laboratory in the Floating City, focusing his energy on enhancing his own power.

The Black Dragon Mirapoleias lying in a corner of the lab was sound asleep.

These days, he's been quite comfortable. Lis hasn't come to draw his blood.

Moreover, the Dragon Blood he lost previously due to blood draws was restored through the high-level potions provided by Lis, making him even stronger.

He also took a liking to Lis's laboratory because it's the place with the richest magic power in the entire Floating City, which is extremely beneficial to him.

The Black Dragon carefully placed the jewelry and gold coins he got from Lis in a corner of the laboratory, trying to keep them as far away from Liss's high-grade experimental equipment, curled up his body, and fell asleep on his treasure.

Feeling the touch and collision of the gold coins and gemstones against his Dragon Scales, the Black Dragon felt its soul was incredibly joyful.

At this moment, the Black Dragon suddenly trembled all over, waking up.

He raised his head, immediately seeing Lis walking through the door, and his sleepy eyes instantly brightened.

After a moment of reaction, the Black Dragon resignedly covered his head with his Dragon wings, lying on the gold coins, stretching out his left claw and leg, waiting for Lis's "exploitation."

After a while, Mirapoleias didn't feel any strange sensation and curiously shook his Dragon wings, creating a small gap to cautiously look toward where Lis was.

Seeing Lis did not come to draw blood from him but was standing in front of the lab table, he realized something and tiptoed quietly toward the door.

Ding ding ding~

Although the Black Dragon was already very careful, there were just too many gold coins and gemstones piled under him, and with just a slight move, the mountain of gold coins toppled and rolled scattered across the floor.

Lis raised his head, calmly looking at the Black Dragon, who hurriedly licked his face and gathered the gold coins below, chuckling while hurriedly slipping out.

It's so thrilling to act foolishly in front of a powerful figure you can't provoke!

Whether it's the comfortable environment of the Floating City or these lovely gold coins and gemstones, the Black Dragon does not want to leave here.

To live, you have to compromise a little~

After being trained by Lis, the Black Dragon had quite the realization.

...

Lis glanced at the Black Dragon and didn't care.

This guy is still very useful, and now Lis is keeping him as a pet.

Speaking of which, I wonder what Angela is up to now?

In the first encounter with [Storm Fury], Lis directly threw Little Bat out, whoever could run was on their own.

Earlier, when Lis was experiencing [Nature's Wrath], he didn't see Little Bat, perhaps he's back at Frost Blood Castle by now?

I'll swing by and bring this guy out later!

But for now, Lis plans to first study the [Sphinx Ascension Technique].

Having broken through legend, Lis now has the capability to explore the most significant achievements of the Legendary Arcanist Sphinx.

However, back then, Lis had too many preparations to make, and the Ascension Technique required too much time, so he temporarily postponed it.

Now, Lis can spare the energy to study it.

The [Sphinx's Wisdom] transformed into an earring emitted a faint glow, Lis sat at the table with closed eyes, gently tapping the tabletop with his right hand, slowly reading the knowledge of the [Sphinx Ascension Technique] in his mind.

Lis felt only one thing, and that is that much of the knowledge within was far too profound and obscure. Even Lis, who had become a Legendary Arcanist, found it somewhat challenging to comprehend.

Moreover, Lis had a peculiar feeling, as if he was touching upon the world's most mysterious and important secrets.

This feeling was something Lis couldn't specifically describe but felt it was a kind of awe and contemplation sourced from the soul.

It's unclear how long passed before Lis finally sighed in relief, rubbing his slightly swollen temples.

"It's truly remarkable."

Lis marveled, having never heard of the name Sphinx in the history of magic development, but the legacy of this Legendary Arcanist truly was overwhelmingly powerful.

This was a presence no less powerful than [Judgement Flame].

Merely reading through the ascension technique in detail, Lis felt his understanding of the world's rules and arcane models had deepened significantly.

This was because Lis had just broken through to legend, and his power was rapidly growing, but also because Sphinx's state was far superior to Lis.

Lis contemplated while touching the [Sphinx's Wisdom].

Despite Sphinx creating the Ascension Technique, he ultimately did not successfully achieve his goal.

Although Lis, at his current level, couldn't spot issues with the Ascension Technique, there's no doubt that walking Sphinx's old path wouldn't work.

Lis must adapt the technique based on the Sphinx Ascension Technique, creating his own ascension technique and once again launching a challenge to the divine throne above this world.

Lis wasn't rushed; to modify the ascension technique, his power and level must at least reach the same stage as Sphinx.

For now, mastering the Ascension Technique is most critical.

Being the arcane adaptation towards the Path to Divinity, the prerequisites for the Ascension Technique were quite high.

To truly master the Ascension Technique, one had to achieve Triple Perfection in a Legendary Domain as a foundation to truly begin gathering faith and refining Elemental Divine Power.

And Lis was still far from that.

Nonetheless, Lis wasn't worried; wasn't everything done before for this very moment?

System, add points!
