I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

After all, this White Elephant Avatar lasting till now has exceeded Azus's expectations.

Originally, leaving the White Elephant Avatar in this temple was Azus's plan for a crucial moment in the future.

What could be more urgent than now?

It's important to know that because of the Gaia World's anomaly, all Divine beings have lost their ability to foresee or perceive changes in the Gaia World.

This means that now the All Gods have almost no understanding of the changes within Gaia World, relying solely on subordinate churches to gather intelligence at most.

But no matter when, the main battleground of any Gaia World era tide always takes place within Gaia World.

Just like the incident of the Elf Royal Court's destruction by Demogorgon, the shock it caused among the All Gods was far greater than the turmoil within Gaia World.

Almost all Divine beings are striving to extend their Strength into the current Gaia World, Azus included.

Since there's no way to continue hiding, let's directly use it!

Though Azus isn't overly eager to control stronger Strength, survival through this Gaia World era tide is necessary.

Originally, Azus planned to wait for the temple intruder to leave, then descend into the White Elephant Avatar.

After all, the Divine Arts Knowledge within the temple isn't overwhelmingly important to Him; He craves the process of acquiring and sharing Knowledge, exclusivity isn't His belief.

Azus wouldn't mind if Lis took advantage and learned all the Divine Arts Knowledge here, even taking it away to share with others.

However, He discovered something interesting.

That is the unique Strength emitted from Lis during his learning process of Divine Arts Knowledge!

That kind of ability, transcending Profession boundaries to learn and master Knowledge, seems to be this Little Mage's Talent, intriguing Azus, but not enough to make Him descend and inquire prematurely.

More importantly, it is the Extraordinary Domain Strength Azus sensed from Lis.

If it wasn't for His mastery of the [Knowledge] Divine Domain, He wouldn't notice Lis's distinctiveness.

It was this discovery that made Azus unable to resist His inner urgency, directly sending His consciousness into the body of the White Elephant Avatar.

"Lord Azus, what do You mean?"

Lis's mind was racing, pondering why Azus would descend early and directly inquire him.

This was Lis's first time facing a Divine Avatar alone, engaging in conversation.

Over the years, Lis had encountered quite a number of Divine Avatars.

The Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, Demon Prince Demogorgon, Elf Main God Correlon, and others...

But without exception, Lis encountered these great beings' Avatars in intense battles, never like now, conversing face-to-face with a Divine.

Though Lis wasn't overly worried.

Azus undoubtedly could recognize Lis's identity as a World Tree Favored, as a member of the True God Camp, the other side is unlikely to act against Lis.

Yet, upon feeling Azus's somewhat eager gaze, Lis was a bit flustered.

Not, big boss?

Why are You looking at me like a treasure?

I'm not Tang Seng's flesh!

"As an Arcanist, the fact that you can learn the Divine Arts within this temple is indeed extraordinary."

Azus's face displayed a slight smile as He looked at Lis, His attitude quite gentle.

"It's because my Talent is quite special, allowing me to learn these Divine Arts."

Lis didn't hide the existence of the [All-Purpose] Talent, paused for a moment before continuing:

"Lord Azus, I indeed used some means to bypass Your rules of equivalent exchange in Knowledge, I'm willing to pay the price for it."

"No need."

Azus shook His head, not overly concerned about this point.

Over countless years, the Transcendent Knowledge He collected is already vast enough to fill an entire Divine Country.

It's safe to say that most Extraordinary professions have no secrets against Him, as long as they follow the principle of equivalent exchange, with the evaluation made by His arrangement, Azus didn't mind.

"I sensed the aura of the World Tree from you, are you the newly emerged World Tree Favored Lis Kain?"

Azus glanced at Lis, smiling as He spoke:

"Still a bit too young, but indeed quite excellent."

"It's overwhelming to receive the favor of Lord World Tree Yggdrasil."

Lis slightly bowed his head, knowing that the identity of World Tree Favored is indeed exceptionally special in the eyes of the All Gods, meaning that most Divine beings are already aware of Lis's existence.

In the eyes of others, this is a rare honor, but it brings Lis some extra pressure.

In facing matters involving the All Gods in the future, he must be more cautious!

Regarding Azus's evaluation, Lis wasn't joyful.

Even with two lifetimes of experience, the cumulative age of Lis compared to Azus is akin to a child.

And excellent...

Lis somewhat suspected Azus had discovered something else.

"Being able to master all the Divine Arts within this temple, such a thing hasn't happened before."

Azus looked at Lis, nodded slightly as He spoke.

"Let me give you a small reward!"

After speaking, Azus opened the thick book He held in His arms.

Dots of fantastical light emerged from the book, gathering on it, forming mystical characters resembling a sheepskin scroll, directly flying into Lis's body before he could react.

-----------------

Ding~

[You received a gift from the [Wisdom and Fantasy God] Azus!]

...

[Your Extraordinary Domain [Wisdom] is in effect!]

[You have gained an understanding of the Extraordinary Domain [Fantasy], mastery level increased!]

[Your mastery level of the Extraordinary Domain [Fantasy] increased: First Level·36%→Triple Level!]

...

[Your mastery level of the Extraordinary Domain [Wisdom] increased: Second Level·93%→Triple Level!]

-----------------

Benefiting from the Knowledge gifted by Azus, countless marvelous insights emerged in Lis's mind, elevating his mastery level of both [Fantasy] and [Wisdom] Extraordinary Domains, reaching Triple Perfection for both.

With the mastery of [Wisdom] Domain reaching Triple Level, it means Lis's achievement before transcending to Legend is only hindered by reaching 200 Experience Points.

At Lis's current speed of harvesting players through the Skill Store, he could accumulate this within the month.

It won't be long before Lis formally achieves Life Level transformation, stepping into a realm beyond Legend.

Although it is a good thing, Lis felt no ease, instantly becoming tense.

He didn't think that this Divine Azus before him would give such a grand gift just because Lis learned all the Divine Arts in the temple.

If possible, Lis would rather rely on his own "effort" to enhance his Strength.

On the other hand, after gifting, Azus continually observed the changes in Lis.

The Divine Domains mastered by Him are plenty, but the most crucial and potent are the [Fantasy] and [Knowledge] Divine Domains.

Undoubtedly, Azus could sense the [Fantasy] Extraordinary Domain mastered by Lis, quite immature, just having crossed the threshold.

But the other feeling was different!

The special domain aura from Lis, closely linked to [Knowledge], yet gave Azus a sensation of being more exalted and profound.

How is this possible?

Knowing that the [Knowledge] Domain Azus mastered has completely transformed into a Divine Position, yet regardless, the Domain Lis mastered is merely an Extraordinary Domain after all.

While still hot, how could it be more exalted than the [Knowledge] Divine Position?

Unless what Lis mastered is not the [Knowledge] Domain, but something more special.

Pondering over it, Azus reached only one conclusion.

For Lis, Azus's conjecture was indeed spot-on, practically having guessed the outcome.

His [Wisdom] Domain emerged from the transformation of the [Knowledge] Domain, equivalent to an upgrade of the [Knowledge] Domain, Azus's sense was thus a natural occurrence.
