I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Isaac Great Forest,

Lizard Man Water Snake Tribe,

In the wetlands deep within the forest, as dawn begins to break the silence, the Lizardman Tribe gradually awakens.

Mist drifts through the moist air, cloaking this mysterious land with a veil of enigma.

The Lizardmen emerge from their dwellings, flicking their tails, stretching deeply, and beginning a new day.

The tribe's hunters are the first to set out, armed with simple spears made of wooden sticks and sharpened stones, ready to enter the dense forest in search of today's prey.

Although the forest is rugged and difficult to traverse, it poses no problem for the nimble Xixi people.

They quickly vanish into the woods, embarking on a day of hunting adventures.

Meanwhile, within the village, Lizardmen responsible for taking care of the young gently awaken each little life one by one.

The young Lizardmen burst out in a flurry, rubbing their sleepy eyes, crawling up and down as though brimming with endless energy.

Not far from them, Lizardmen repairing the houses busily check every corner of the village.

Some mend leaky roofs, some reinforce the shaky foundations of houses, using their nimble hands to ensure every dwelling can withstand the onslaught of wind and rain.

At this moment, the entire Lizardman Tribe presents a harmonious yet bustling scene.

Each member is dedicated, fulfilling their role, collectively maintaining the operations of this small society.

The Lizardman village houses are low and unevenly distributed, all built from sturdy wood.

This Lizardman Tribe is built on the forest wetlands, by the water, making all the houses appear as if they naturally sprout from the water's surface.

The structures of these houses are simple yet stable, with wooden textures glowing warmly under the sun, revealing a primitive and unpretentious beauty.

Simple wooden bridges stretch across the water, cleverly connecting each dwelling.

These bridges are made of wide, thick boards joined together, with a surface that's somewhat rough but exceptionally sturdy, easily supporting the daily traffic of the Lizardmen.

Beneath the bridges, clear streams flow gently past, occasionally a few little fish swim through the water, adding a touch of vitality and vibrancy to this tranquil tribe.

In the central wooden house of the village, a tall Lizardman steps out.

His stature is twice that of a normal Lizardman, his body covered in strong, bulging muscles.

Each piece as hard as a rock, revealing his astonishing strength and unyielding will.

Just the sight of him exudes an overwhelming sense of pressure.

The scales of this towering Lizardman are also distinctive.

Not the common deep green or dark blue seen on Lizardmen, but a very dark gray.

This color glimmers with a black sheen under the sunlight, seemingly capable of swallowing all surrounding light, making him appear even more mysterious and full of a commanding and fearless presence.

The Lizardman stands in front of the wooden house, soaking in the warm sunlight, waking his body that lay dormant overnight.

This Lizardman's gaze is profound and sharp, every movement reflecting an unquestionable sense of power.

Jasper is in a good mood.

He has been away from his homeland, the Water Snake Tribe, for quite some time, continuously traveling.

Once the most talented Lizardman in the tribe, he left home long ago to seek a breakthrough in strength, to gain knowledge and accumulate experience.

His footprints cover many parts of Isaac Great Forest.

Not only other Lizardman tribes but also settlements of other races such as Dog-headed Men, Dwarves, and goblins; Jasper has communicated with them.

Of course, in many situations, the other side initiated attacks against him, and Jasper had to "counterattack" as a last resort.

Isaac Great Forest is the world's center, only the most powerful groups can occupy the forest's richest regions.

As for those weaker tribes, they can only reside at the forest's edge.

For instance, Humans living on the eastern bay of the forest, Jasper visited there during his travels.

Although Humans and Lizardmen are somewhat similar in size, they are relatively weak in strength.

They can only live in the barren seaside, relying on fishing for survival.

However, their hands are rather skillful, making exquisite items with shells, pearls, and coral.

Jasper even traded with them to bring some back, distributing it among his tribe.

Perhaps in the future, when the Water Snake Tribe grows stronger under his leadership, they might make those Humans a subordinate tribe.

Specializing in building houses for the Water Snake Tribe.

The Lizardman clan is the strongest race living in Isaac Great Forest.

And the Water Snake Tribe is also one of the most powerful Lizardman tribes.

That's why Jasper has the idea of subjugating the Human clan.

This is also a practice among those strong tribes in the Great Forest.

However, now perhaps even that "one of" could be removed.

Because Jasper has already broken through that barrier and ascended to [Hero]!

In Isaac Great Forest, only those who successfully break through and achieve "Hero" status have the possibility of ruling the entire Great Forest.

The last Heroic level existence has been gone for who knows how long, and Jasper is the only Lizardman among many races in the Great Forest to break through to Hero in recent years.

After completing that breakthrough, Jasper ceased his travels and returned to the tribe.

He plans to rest for a while and then lead the Water Snake Tribe to begin external conquest.

Having achieved Hero status with great difficulty, Jasper harbors grand ambitions, ready to embark on significant endeavors.

Chewing on dried fish, Jasper leisurely wanders around the village.
