I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

The outcome of this match was clear, the process was evident, but the time was drawn out very long.

Zhao Zhao clearly had many chances to win, yet he insisted on crushing Kuang Dao in battle, using various methods to disgrace the opponent.

Only when Kuang Dao Yi Xiao could no longer persevere and couldn't bear the humiliation, choosing to voluntarily concede and withdraw from the match, did the torment finally end.

After losing the match, Kuang Dao Yi Xiao's mindset crumbled immediately, and after a few arguments with teammates, he directly left the match room.

But Zhao Zhao didn't care about Kuang Dao Yi Xiao's situation at all; if it were Mo Yun, he might have taunted a bit, but Zhao Zhao prefers to prove everything with facts.

After the match between Zhao Zhao and Kuang Dao Yi Xiao ended, teammates Si Lu and Ice Valley managed to secure the first victory in the doubles match without any risk.

Thus, Embers of the Bonfire swept Kuangge Team with a score of three to zero, which was considered a bit of an upset.

After all, Kuangge Team, as the second team of Changge Team, was still somewhat renowned.

The momentum of Embers of the Bonfire Team has been very strong recently; though many players felt that Zhao Zhao's Embers of the Bonfire Team should be stronger than Kuangge, they did not expect such a sweeping score.

For a time, Embers of the Bonfire Team attracted much attention, especially upon hearing that Zhao Zhao was once a player of Changge Team, only to be ostracized and kicked out.

Now, Zhao Zhao returns as a king, aiming directly at Changge Team, a plot that piqued the interest of many players in Embers of the Bonfire, generating considerable heat.

Of course, this information wasn't dug out by players, but rather secretly released by Liu's Titan, the team's steward, after obtaining Zhao Zhao's consent.

For a moment, Embers of the Bonfire became the most watched team in the preliminaries, attracting not only commercial partnerships but even groups looking to invest in their team.

After all, "Divine Revelation" is currently the hottest game in the world, and the value contained within it is naturally unusual.

...

Meanwhile, as the Hua Xia District Professional League was in full swing,

Lis, after watching Embers of the Bonfire's matches, also logged off the player forum.

In his previous life, he enjoyed watching professional matches quite a bit, learning some techniques and maneuvers from professional players.

But now, it was merely entertainment and leisure for him.

Lis remained quite attentive to Embers of Fire Guild; although Zhao Zhao and the others did not know, Embers of Fire Guild was indeed a brand nurtured by Lis through special resource allocation.

Although strong, Changge Team and Kunlun Team were already among the strongest professional teams in the Hua Xia District.

No matter how strong they were, players wouldn't be overly interested; it would simply be deemed as expected. Note: Check M_VLEMPY_R for any corrections.

Embers of the Bonfire Team was different, a brand new team, brand new players, their emergence, like this tournament, would surely capture the attention of other players.

Subsequently, this would lead to players learning about Lis, the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, and Kane Floating City which were related to Embers of the Bonfire Team.

This was just the preliminaries; the impact would be even more significant during the formal matches and even the world championship.

Additionally, the next version also marks the opening of the world server for the "Divine Revelation" game, which was part of Lis's arrangements.

After all, the more fields there are, the more experience Lis can harvest; he certainly pays more attention.

However, seeing that things are proceeding smoothly with Embers of the Bonfire, the rest can go naturally.

Lis currently isn't in the Fishman Tribe but on a deserted island deep within the Treasure Pearl Sea.

He is no longer in the form of Fishman Claus but has reverted to his original appearance.

The preparations for the Fishman Tribe were nearly complete; the tribe's sole legend, O'Neill, after being "persuaded" by Lis, "voluntarily" supported Lis in establishing faith.

Berion was even more proactive, becoming the leader of the Fishman Tribe Alliance and not even bothering much about the Pearl Clan. He busily contacted various Fishman clans to carry out Lis's instructions.

Due to Lis's power, other Fishman clans cooperated very actively with Berion, so much so that statues of Fishman Claus were erected in every Fishman Tribe.

Moreover, Lis's immense strength enabled the power-worshiping Fishman clans to easily accept the existence of Claus.

The Church of the Ocean Goddess regarded this as Fishman Tribe's internal affairs and did not intervene.

Everything proceeded very smoothly, so much so that Lis didn't have to act personally; the matter of faith and followers progressed rapidly.

In this situation, Lis found himself idle, recalling the secret mentioned by the Undead Mage Calvo earlier.

The legacy of "Death Lament" Ivan Water in the Treasure Pearl Sea.

It is likely to contain the wealth left by this demigod-level strong man and possibly his demigod divine status.

Although not urgently needed by Lis, since he was here, he thought why not explore during the Fishman Tribe's faith system setup downtime; there was no harm in it.

Just as well, he could compare the divine status gathered on the regular path to divinity with the elemental virtual divine status condensed by the Sphinx Ascension Technique.

As for Calvo, the Undead Mage who informed him of this secret, he was currently working painfully yet joyously at Kane Floating City.

Lis didn't bring him out, and in fact, his understanding of that secret realm might even be less than Lis's.

Based on Calvo's description, Lis confirmed that the Undead Church he was looking for should indeed be the little chapel within the Frozen Soil Plain Fragment secret realm on Katie Island in the Treasure Pearl Sea.
