I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Suppressing a trace of excitement, Lis still faced unresolved issues.

Although the awakening of the Black Cat and the change in "Sphinx's Wisdom" were somewhat surprising to Lis,

he still couldn't find a way to enter the Mysterious Divine Island.

Looking around at the surrounding sea, Lis's current location should be exactly where the Mysterious Divine Island was, but he himself felt nothing.

"Evar, have you found anything?"

Lis asked Evar, who was waiting by his side.

"The same as before."

Evar replied honestly, hesitating for a moment before he couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Lis... what is this now?"

"Oh, I should have found the place."

Lis glanced at Evar, pointing to the sea in front of them and said,

"Unfortunately, I don't know how to get in."

"This... we found it just like that?"

Evar was somewhat incredulous; he had been prepared for a prolonged battle, not expecting results so soon.

Evar wanted to ask Lis if this was truly the place, but after some thought, he still forcibly suppressed the question.

Impulsively questioning like this seemed to signify disbelief in Lord Lis, better to wait.

Lis redirected his gaze back to the sea ahead, stroking the Black Cat, his spiritual power had already spread from his body, carefully scanning everything around him.

If this island really is left by a fallen divine being and if divine power still resides on it, Lis guessed it would be difficult to find anything real.

Divine power, as the ultimate sublimation of the Power of Faith, is the basis of divine power and the embodiment of the power of All Gods.

Nobody said they had completely mastered the mysteries within divine power, not even the gods themselves.

Even in his previous life, Lis had acquired leftover divine power, but could never comprehend its mysteries, using it only as a source of tremendous power.

After rebirth, although he had received many inheritances, especially detailed records about divine power in the "Sphinx Ascension Technique," Lis had yet to acquire any divine power.

Moreover, regardless of how capable he was, still being at the Silver Level, he would need to be at the Legendary Level to conduct in-depth research on divine power.

If the Mysterious Divine Island's defensive power was composed of divine power, it would be nearly impossible for Lis to forcefully break through.

A treasure gate constructed by divine power was too solid; Lis had no power to break through, he would only try to find a legitimate way in.

That means finding the "key" to open the divine treasure gate.

What exactly could this "key" be?

Since Evar had accidentally entered once, that indicated the Mysterious Divine Island was not completely sealed.

Just like the Sphinx Temple, there must be a chance to enter it.

Is it a storm? A rainbow? Or something else?

The problem had come full circle, and Lis was scratching his head.

Could it be that he should try them one by one?

The most likely now seemed to be a storm, especially since that fallen divine being's Divine Domain was presumably the storm.

"Evar, think carefully."

After trying in vain, Lis turned and spoke to the obediently waiting Evar.

"We've found the place, but there's no way to get in."

"Think back carefully, did you discover anything else at that time?"

Upon hearing this, Evar fell silent.

His expression unchanged, yet he struggled internally.

Should he really give that thing to Lis?

It was his most cherished possession and arguably the biggest secret he had gotten from the island!

With the location confirmed, he thought of feigning ignorance, separating from Lis afterward, and then secretly attempting to enter on his own.

Perhaps he could unlock it himself and enjoy all that the island had to offer!

Greed began to corrode Evar's heart, making him indecisive.

Lis noticed Evar's unusual behavior, but did not speak, only silently watching him.

The Mysterious Divine Island was a must-have for him.

Even if there were no other gains, just the divine power left by the deity was enough to satisfy Lis.

After all, "Sphinx's Wisdom" needed divine power for enhancement.

Seeing Evar suddenly fall silent, it seemed there was yet another secret he hadn't mentioned.

Perhaps the key to entering the island was in his hands.

But no matter!

Lis's lips curled into a slight smile.

"I am Lis, Sincere, Never Coercive, Most Reliable Partner, Kane, never one to burn bridges."

If it comes to it, when Evar tries to sneak onto the island, he'll just follow him.

By then, the two would no longer have a partnership, and Lis wouldn't take care of him anymore.

"My ethical standards are just too high!"

Lis shook his head with some vexation.

In the end, it was the deity's island Lis was dealing with, and with so many powerful life-saving items on him, he had to proceed with utmost caution, step by step, not to mention Evar.

If Evar had managed to escape last time without any special factors, it was purely good luck.

Lis didn't believe such good fortune would happen again.

The remnants left by deities were precious treasures, but could also conceal tremendous terror.

Lis had once explored a divine relic where a Demigod-Level Divine Calamity lay dormant.

Even a weak incarnation of a deity might not be able to defeat that creature.

So, regardless of Evar's decision, it was all the same to Lis, merely different methods of handling it.
