I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

In a certain area of the Treasure Pearl Sea,

Lis, accompanied by Evar, came to the location where they had previously discovered the Mysterious Island.

Lis's expression was calm, but Evar seemed very nervous.

For him, this was the goal he had been striving for all these years, and today it was finally going to be realized.

With his emotions stirring, he carefully shifted his gaze toward Lis.

Now, all his hopes were pinned on Lis; he couldn't help but pay close attention.

Lis didn't pay any mind to Evar's subtle movements, gripping tightly the blue Divine Artifact Fragment in his hand.

Just like before, he had asked Charles and the others to stay on the Eagle with Helen, only bringing Evar with him.

After all, there could be unpredictable dangers on Divine Island, and Lis might not be able to look after others when the time came.

As for Evar, he was willing to take on this risk for the chance to increase his strength.

"Are you ready?"

Lis asked Evar. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

"No problem, Lord Lis."

Evar took a deep breath and nodded in response.

"All right, then let's begin."

Lis controlled their descent to the sea's surface, right in front of the special spot that Black Cat Little Mi had sensed last time.

That was where Divine Island was supposed to be.

Lis tried to sense the area, but after some effort, he still shook his head.

It was no use; he still couldn't sense anything special.

Could it be that the grandeur of the divine was beyond his current understanding?

There was an inevitable sense of regret in Lis's heart as he held onto the Storm Trident Fragment.

How should this thing be used?

Lis pondered for a moment, trying to infuse it with Magic Power.

But the Divine Artifact Fragment, like a bottomless pit, devoured Lis's Magic Power without any response.

Lis cut off the infusion of Magic Power, deciding that wasn't the right approach.

Then, Lis attempted to probe the air in front of them with the Storm Trident.

Hmm?

What was supposed to be empty space, unyielding to Lis's probing, suddenly felt like it was obstructed by a barrier when Lis held the Divine Artifact Fragment.

It was as though there was a wall in front of him, stopping the advancement of the Divine Artifact Fragment.

As expected!

Lis did not retract his right hand; instead, he reached out with his left hand towards the half-space where the Divine Artifact Fragment met resistance.

However, the result was the same as before; Lis's left hand didn't feel anything unusual.

Could it be the influence of some dimension of space that I don't understand?

With an understanding in mind, Lis stopped probing and applied greater force with his withdrawing hand, pushing the Divine Artifact Fragment against the membrane to continue forward.

The right hand holding the Divine Artifact Fragment felt as if it was enveloped in glue, the resistance it was facing growing stronger, but Lis could sense the Artifact Fragment in his right hand was moving forward, albeit slowly.

After a while, Lis felt that the obstruction in front seemed to have reached a critical point, he continued to apply force.

Crack!

A clear sound emerged in front of Lis, as the Storm Trident suddenly erupted with a sky-reaching azure light.

In the glow of this azure light, Lis saw it.

In front of him and Evar, there was a massive semispherical dome over a hundred meters tall, emitting a faint white light, inverted over the sea in front of them.

Was this the barrier that concealed Divine Island?

Immediately, Lis noticed that where the Storm Trident had penetrated, huge cracks began to spread across the barrier, with continuous cracking sounds.

When the entire barrier was covered in cracks, a sudden change occurred.

Boom!

The entire massive barrier shattered abruptly, its fragments turning into specks of white light that merged into the Storm Trident Fragment in Lis's hand.

But Lis paid no attention to this change, because the scene hidden behind the barrier finally appeared before the two of them.

It was a curious little island, not very large, but one that would captivate the gaze upon first sight.

By the pristine beach, there was densely lush greenery, heavy fruits hanging on vibrant green branches.

Lychee, coconut, bananas, pineapples, among others—even many fruits Lis couldn't name—colorful and glossy as if they were gemstones of various hues, swaying gently in the slight sea breeze, highly enticing.

Through the thick jungle, a clear stream flowed out, its pale blue waters being washed by the beach and joining the great ocean.

Above the dense jungle, a temple could be faintly seen standing in the depths at the center of the island.

That must be the core of this island!

"Yes, yes!"

Evar, standing by Lis's side, stared intently at the island suddenly appearing before their eyes, his expression full of excitement.

"This is it, this is the island I once reached!"

Evar's words revealed utter joy; he remembered the surprise and elation of seeing this Mysterious Island after the storm.

And now, the goal he had been working towards lay right before him.

Unable to contain his excitement, Evar moved to rush towards the island.

"Wait!"

With a wave of his hand, Lis controlled Evar in place with Magic Power.

"I know you're eager, but let's not be hasty right now."

Lis soothed Evar for a moment, then bowed his head to study the situation.
