I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

This increase in strength was not only reflected in the outward changes in form but was more profoundly manifest in every cell of the body, which became tougher and more resilient, able to bear a greater load.

Lis moved his body on the spot, and every action, whether it was casting a spell with a wave of his hand or making a light leap, seemed so fluid and powerful, as if every muscle and fiber in his body had been imbued with a renewed rhythmic life.

While his physical strength increased significantly, he still maintained excellent flexibility, which allowed Lis to control his body better.

This feeling, as if Lis had mastered every minute detail of his body, allowed him to twist and stretch freely, adopting postures that were hard for ordinary people to imagine. This flexibility not only made his movements more flexible and elusive but also allowed him to quickly dodge and safely navigate enemy attacks.

As his body strengthened, Lis's temperament also underwent a subtle change, becoming more composed and restrained. When casting magic, he seemed to merge with the magic elements of the world, controlling a more powerful magic force.

At the same time, Lis's senses seemed to have been finely tuned, becoming sharper and more delicate.

The colors of the world appeared brighter, and he could see the finest details, whether the contours of distant scenery or the subtle changes in the patterns up close, nothing escaped Lis's observation.

Whether it was the rustling sound of leaves brushed by the night wind or the low murmur of a distant stream, Lis could hear it all clearly, as if every sound was amplified infinitely by his ears, listening to the sound of the world.

"This feeling... it's really nice!"

Because he gained the Martial Monk profession's specialty [Proof of Nature], his Endurance Attribute received a double bonus. Now, with the strength, agility, and endurance attributes – all closely related to his physicality – enhanced, Lis felt a sense of satisfaction as if he had remedied the final weakness, giving him the confidence to face any future challenges.

"Just charm and mysterious left, huh?"

Lis looked at his attribute panel, feeling somewhat hesitant.

He hadn't known much about these two attributes before; it wasn't that he, as a former gaming god in his past life, didn't care about them, but rather that they and their representative professions were quite niche.

Charm attribute points were represented most significantly by Magicians and, to a greater extent, by Priests.

Originally, Lis had planned to find a basic Priest specialty geared towards support, such as [Devoted Commitment], which enhanced the effects of priest healing and beneficial magic.

However, after experiencing the remnants of the Sphinx and the baptism of the World Tree, Lis realized that the supremely divine beings, once unattainable and above the stuff of legends from his previous life as a gamer, were not beyond his reach.

Lis was no longer content with just becoming a Legendary Rank powerhouse; he aspired to climb towards that higher realm!

With this in mind, Lis had to give more thought to the Priest profession specialties related to charm attribute points.

After all, even though Lis had received the miraculous inheritance of [Sphinx Ascension Technique], peering into the realm of deities still required him to grasp the Power of Faith.

It was very likely that specialties related to the Power of Faith would appear for Priest Professionals, and Lis had to be more careful.

However, recalling all the basic Priest profession specialties he knew from his past life, Lis could not find any that suited his current situation and would need to gather more information as time went on.

If Lis still had plans for the basic profession specialties related to the Charm Attribute, he truly had no idea about the profession specialties related to the mysterious attribute.

It's just that professions transcending charm, such as Astrologers and Prophets, were just too niche in the games of his past life. Although they could use some powerful spells, if it was only for those special spells, why not simply become a Mage?

And those NPCs in the game who had mastered similar professions always seemed a bit crazy and mentally unstable.

Due to various factors, very few players chose professions related to mysterious attributes, and even among the curious types, they did not make up more than 1% of all players.

If all else fails, choose the Prophet profession's specialty [Fictional Future].

No, that's not right...

Lis shook his head, none of these things were urgent.

After all, he was not in a hurry to acquire these two basic profession specialties, and his mentality was even more one of preferring quality over quantity; he had many other things to do.

A moment later, Lis's figure disappeared from the place.

...

In the distance from the ruins of the Elf Royal Court,

Deep in the dense forest, sunlight filtered through the overlapping green leaves, casting mottled patterns on a carefully cleared open space. Here, surrounded by lush and towering trees that wove a canopy of green overhead, a small Hidden Space was formed.

Not far from the clearing in the woods, a clear stream babbled by, its waters shimmering with silver under the sunlight, like a silver ribbon inlaid on a tapestry of green, winding forward.

Several butterflies danced gracefully, flitting lightly among the flowers, bringing a touch of vitality and energy to this serene space.

On a stone beside the stream, a silver-haired girl sat contentedly, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze, her bare pale feet happily splashing little waves of water in the cool stream.

In her hands, she held a dessert delicately adorned with fine cream and vibrant fruits, savoring it with pleasure. Each bite seemed to encapsulate all the beauty of the world within that tiny sweet.

Behind her on the ground, two elves lay as if they had just been through a fierce battle, gasping for air and looking towards the silver-haired girl with a mix of astonishment and anger.

Not far off, a golden-haired elf girl sat leaning against a tree, hugging her knees, her face buried in her arms, silent.

Angela paid no attention to the elves, Bella and Mil, on the ground, and even though Lis hadn't said much, she wouldn't let the two elves just leave.

What if Lis came back and couldn't find them?

Although Lis had set up a magic barrier here, Angela thought it would be safer to take matters into her own hands after thinking it over.

As for Cecil sitting next to the tree, Angela felt a bit of a headache.

After thinking for a moment, Angela stood up, shook off the crystal droplets from her small, white feet, and walked over to Cecil, reluctantly offering her a piece of cake and saying,

"Why don't you eat something? Aren't you hungry after so long without food?"

Upon hearing Angela's voice, Cecil finally lifted her head, her eyes slightly red and swollen as if she had cried for a long time:

"Can you let me leave?"

"I want to find my mother."

Angela shook her head directly and rejected Cecil's request:

"No."

"You all have to stay here until Lis returns."

"When will he come back?"

"Angela doesn't know!"

Angela said assertively, offering no further explanation.

"We have to go back!"

"We don't know what the situation at the Elf Royal Court is now!"

Bella and Mil on the ground said, panting. The silver-haired girl in front of them seemed very frail, but somehow had a powerful force that had overpowered them both.

And it seemed like it was not even a warm-up for her.

The two who had tried to resist several times didn't have much energy left and could only lie there gasping for air.

"I think it's useless for you to go back!"

Angela, looking seriously at the three elves in front of her, said,

"There's a very strong Abyss Evil God in that city, extremely, extremely strong!"

"Stronger than an ancestor, you going back is useless."

Just at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Angela.

"Lis!"

Seeing the familiar shape, Cecil quickly stood up.
