I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

The teacher’s attire was indeed rare, perhaps because of an extended rest in Bright City this time.

"Not bad, your strength has improved quickly!"

Stephens glanced at Lis and nodded in satisfaction.

He had already broken through to the Gold Level!

Truly worthy of being his disciple!

Truly worthy of being him!

Risa also broke through to the Gold Level at a young age; the speed of strength enhancement in these two disciples was even faster than he had anticipated.

He could understand Risa’s rapid progress, considering her talent was indeed top-notch in his eyes.

The Four Elements Plane was constantly strengthening Risa’s strength; even if she slept every day, she would eventually reach the Legendary level.

Lis’s rate of progress was somewhat surprising to him.

However, thinking of how this disciple had a penchant for courting death and even managed to disrupt the plans of Demon Prince Demogorgon, he was quite remarkable indeed!

"Hello, teacher!"

Lis bowed to Stephens, who was dressed in home clothes, and then sat down on the sofa opposite his teacher.

Stephens picked up a piece of cookie, placed it in his mouth, and savored it slowly.

"You’re back, eh? How did it feel to be out on your training journey?"

"It felt great!"

Lis said with a wide smile; indeed, this trip had been extremely rewarding.

It was an almost comprehensive enhancement, and for Lis, he already had enough power to carry out the plans he had in mind.

Of course, the greatest gain was the treasure of Sphinx in Snow Ridge Town!

"Sphinx Ascension Technique," "Sphinx Dream Building Skill," and the legendary accessory "Sphinx’s Wisdom" all elevated Lis’s strength to a new level.

"It seems like your gains were indeed substantial!"

Stephens noticed the sparkle in Lis’s eyes and spoke with a smile.

"It’s all thanks to the hints you gave me,"

said Lis, recalling the arduous search for Sphinx’s relics in Snow Ridge Town. If he hadn’t found the clue at the end, he might have had to forcibly breach the Sphinx Temple with his teacher’s help.

If that had been the case, he wasn’t sure if he could have received Sphinx’s legacy as he had now.

Stephens looked at Lis, who was somewhat emotional. It seemed the inheritance this disciple received in the Legendary Arcanist’s relic was not simple at all!

However, Stephens had no intention of asking further. To him now, who had clearly defined his future path, even powers granted by divine beings were extraneous.

"What brings you to me today?"

Stephens asked with a smile. Although Lis was a bit of a troublemaker as a disciple, he was indeed quite outstanding and had hardly caused him any worry.

Compared to Risa, who had high talent but was somewhat meek, and Ludwig, a Golden Dragon who was too capricious, Lis was the one who gave him the least concern.

"I’ve come to seek your advice, teacher."

Lis raised his right hand, with the blue, cyan, and silver-white domains swirling around him. Read the latest on NovelBin.Côm

"During my exploration on a Divine Island in the Treasure Pearl Sea, I fortuitously merged with divinity and thus prematurely mastered this tri-level Transcendent Domain."

Lis didn’t conceal anything and shared everything that happened with Stephens.

Divinity?

Stephens remembered, it was what Lis had inquired about previously, asking how to eliminate the remnants of Will from divinity.

A faint Magic Light appeared in front of Stephens as he observed Lis’s body carefully.

Compared to Lis mastering the tri-level Transcendent Domain, Stephens was more concerned about his successful integration with divinity.

"Indeed you’ve merged with divinity..."

Stephens fell silent for a moment, then looked at Lis and said:

"The power of divine beings is formidable, and it is quite rare for you to have successfully merged with divinity; however, remember not to be intoxicated by this powerful force."

"After all, such external power is only temporary; the true key is the inherent strength of an Arcanist."

Stephens cautioned, as a Legendary Arcanist himself, he naturally had a deeper study and exploration of divine powers and had also acquired such power of divinity.

But he was very clear that the power of the divine was too strong and wonderful, and Lis’s mastery of the Extraordinary Domain was just a part of that.

That’s why so many people become lost within the divine power.

"I understand, please rest assured."

Lis naturally knew what Stephens was worried about, but to him, divine power wasn’t as reliable as the system power he possessed.

Stephens nodded; he also believed Lis wouldn’t sink into the divine power like those foolish people,

"Regarding the Extraordinary Domain..."

Stephens leaned back on the sofa, looking at the tri-colored Extraordinary Domain that surrounded Lis.

"I should have talked to you before about mastering the world’s rules, you haven’t forgotten, have you?"

Lis nodded. He still remembered the shock he felt when his teacher first spoke to him about the world’s rules.

"Really, the Extraordinary Domain is essentially the path that every Extraordinary Professional embarks on to master the world’s rules."

"The Extraordinary Domain pursued by Gold-level professionals will sublimate into the Legendary Domain after breaking through to Legendary."

"If it’s a Legendary Strongman who embarks on the Path of God Sealing, the Legendary Domain they possess will sublimate and condense into the Divine Domain during the Enthronement Ceremony, which is the Divine Position that all gods wield."

"All of this is based on our exploration of the world’s rules."

"Just like the Extraordinary Domain you control now, it’s a manifestation of certain world rules."

"This power, as your understanding and mastery of the world’s rules deepen, will continually be strengthened."

"That is to say, the Extraordinary Domain is the seed of world rule control, drawing nourishment as it masters the world’s rules and constantly growing."

"Do you understand?"

Lis nodded. He hadn’t realized that the Extraordinary Domain was so crucial to Extraordinary Professionals, eventually sublimating into the Divine Position controlled by deities.

"So, the growth and advancement of the Extraordinary Domain ultimately relate to one’s own mastery of the corresponding world’s rules of the Extraordinary Domain."

"Right."

Stephens nodded, supporting his cheek with his right hand and smilingly said:

"So, there are almost no shortcuts on this path. To gain improvement, you must lay a solid foundation step by step, mastering the world’s rules."

"But mastering the world’s rules is not something so easily achieved. However, having already mastered the Extraordinary Domain, you have already grasped that key."

Lis nodded; his teacher’s words were somewhat profound, but still, it all began with mastering the world’s rules.

Players in his former life did not know much about the Extraordinary Domain, so Lis had almost no knowledge in this area.

But this...

Lis had a headache. He came to ask his teacher for advice on how to improve his mastery of the Extraordinary Domain more quickly, but it seemed like this too would require a painstaking effort!

"Haha, indeed, it is so." @@novelbin@@

Stephens noticed the change in Lis’s expression and laughed:

"If there were so many shortcuts, then it wouldn’t be the case that so many people are trapped just before becoming Legends in their lifetimes."

"This is probably why Joyce sent you to me; after all, most who have mastered the Extraordinary and Legendary Domains themselves are not aware of the process of grasping the world’s rules and improving, typically only those who set foot on the Path of God Sealing come to truly realize these things."

"Then teacher, have you... embarked on the Path of God Sealing?"

Lis was somewhat puzzled. From what the teacher explained before, it seemed that Arcanists weren’t particularly keen on the Path of God Sealing.

Stephens himself hadn’t shown much desire or concern for the Path of God Sealing.

"Of course... not."

Stephens said with a smile:

"I tried going up to have a look, found it uninteresting, and then I stepped back down."

Is that even possible?

Lis remembered Uncle Joyce’s longing for the Path of God Sealing, yet the teacher said he had experienced it briefly and then stepped back down from it.

What a slick move!

"Although that’s what I said, it seems you’re still quite rough in your use of the Extraordinary Domain."

As he spoke, the corners of Stephens’s mouth slightly curled up, giving Lis an uneasy premonition.

"You need special training, too!"
