I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

After thinking for a moment, Lis leaned down and kissed Risa's alluring red lips, then carefully got out of bed.

Stretching lazily, Lis walked towards the Magic Workshop.

As chaos continued to escalate, Lis felt an increasing sense of urgency.

Now, it was time to act quickly and make preparations!

Before the mutation of the Phillips Crystal arrives, it is the last moment of peace for the entire world.

Since the eruption of conflicts with the mutation of the Phillips Crystal, the entire Gaia World has plunged into chaos.

War and slaughter will become the main theme of the Gaia World!

Whether it's the Church of the Gods, the Evil God believers, or other extraordinary forces, all will be drawn into this chaos, charging towards destruction!

No one knows who the final victor will be this time?

Lis thought, a slight smile appearing on his face.

If nothing changes like in my past life, wouldn't my rebirth be for nothing?

...

Danerluo Port,

Embraced by the gentle blue coastline, this port city glimmered like a brilliant pearl, its prosperous scene astonishing to behold.

The sea breeze gently brushed by, carrying the salty and free aura, weaving between the busy docks and city, whispering stories of this city's immortal legend.

The harbor docks were the pulsating heart of this city, with enormous ships docking like giant beasts at the shore, masts towering like sentinels guarding this bay.

Cargoes of exotic treasures, magic materials, and goods from all over were being unloaded at the docks, injecting more vitality into this city.

In the old town, merchants of different races from all over haggled here, and the mixed laughter in various accents created a bustling commercial symphony.

Compared to the harbor area, the new district spreading inland was even more eye-catching.

The new district, located on the west side of Danerluo Port, was meticulously planned and constructed by the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.

The boundary of this area rose with several conspicuous Magic Towers, whose spires emitted mysterious magic lights, both guarding and overlooking the area.

In the center of the new district, a massive Magic Fountain continuously gushed colorful water sprays, reflecting brilliant hues under the sunlight.

Neatly aligned houses and wide, clean streets spread out from here, showcasing the prosperity of this city.

Adventurers, nobles, and scholars from around the world gathered here for the Phillips Crystal, bringing a distinctive charm to Danerluo Port.

In a way, Danerluo Port has surpassed Bright City, becoming the most prosperous and powerful city in the Feis Kingdom.

However, even with the congregation of numerous extraordinary professionals, there was no sign of chaos in Danerluo Port.

Apart from some minor scuffles possibly caused by drunkenness, the order of Danerluo Port was excellent.

The busiest area in the new district was none other than the White Dove Commercial Street.

The Magic Equipment Store displayed a variety of powerful weapons and armors, each radiating with a unique brilliance; the Potion Store was filled with potions emitting various unusual aromas, offering both healing and strengthening potions; the Magic Bookstore was packed with thick magic tomes with ancient texts and mysterious runes...

Indeed, the most abundant items were those sold from the small worlds opened by the Phillips Crystal.

Merchants from around the world sold their convoy's goods and then came here to pick and choose, selecting the goods to take away.

Likewise, adventurers just returning from the small worlds with abundant loot came here to sell their team's gains.

However, whether selling or purchasing, a certain tax needed to be paid to the Lord of Danerluo Port.

The tax rate was not low, but neither visiting merchants nor adventurers had any objections.

They understood it was a tax paid to the Lord of this place.

As long as they paid their taxes honestly, they could receive the Lord's protection, without worry about safety in Danerluo Port.

Once, some were dissatisfied with this regulation of Danerluo Port and wanted to head for the other two Phillips Crystal locations on the Fanor Continent.

But the journey was perilous, and more people heard about the chaos in those two places.

Not to mention the unbothered Dwarves, even the intervention of the Elf Kingdom could hardly avoid chaos and conflict.

As a result, many people dismissed the idea.

Regarding resistance?

What a joke, aside from Lord Lis, Danerluo Port also had several legends in garrison.

Just the presence of the blue Floating City above dispelled everyone's thoughts.

Over time, those arriving in Danerluo Port got used to it.

After all, when the Lord took money, he truly did his job!

At least upon returning from the small worlds, they could rest well in Danerluo Port, without worrying about danger.

Even adventure teams who were mortal enemies dared not attack rashly in Danerluo Port.

Bang ~

This seemingly calm and peaceful atmosphere was instantly shattered by a heated argument.

At the entrance of a shop called Starlight Blacksmith Shop on Commercial Street, two groups of mercenaries faced each other, tension mounting.

One side was the Frost Wolf Mercenary Corps from the Northern Snowfields, clad in thick white leather armor embroidered with a menacing frost wolf totem, each member tall and stern-eyed, exuding a chilling murderous aura from the frigid lands.

The other side was the Phoenix Mercenary Corps from the Western Desert, dressed in fiery red light armor inlaid with golden runes, resembling burning flames, their expressions arrogant and somewhat irritable.

The cause of the conflict was a Magic Longsword displayed at the entrance of the Starlight Blacksmith Shop.

The sword had a long body, shimmering with bluish light, with a hilt embedded with a blue gemstone emitting a chilling aura, seemingly filled with endless frost power.

The eagle emblem on the hilt indicated it was a product of Kane Floating City.

The products from Kane Floating City weren't rare, but whenever they appeared, all mercenaries and adventurers rushed to buy them.

Who wouldn't want a powerful weapon to enhance their strength, to seize more benefits from the small worlds?

However, just as the leader of the Frost Wolf Mercenary Corps, Gray, was about to pick up the longsword for a closer look, Lina, the deputy leader of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps, who happened to pass by, also took a fancy to the sword at first glance.

She reached through the crowd to grab the sword, only to find Gray had already beaten her to it.

"Hey, Gray! I saw this sword first, let go if you know what's good for you!"

Lina shouted sharply.

Gray turned his head and looked at Lina with disdain, sneering:

"Don't you know the rule of first come, first served? This sword is in my hands now, it's mine!"

"Hmph, are you northern barbarians worthy of such a fine sword?"

A mercenary behind Lina taunted.

This remark completely infuriated the members of the Frost Wolf Mercenary Corps, who drew their weapons, gazes fierce, seemingly ready to act at Gray's command.

The Phoenix Mercenary Corps naturally did not back down, their mage gesturing as a stream of hot flames swept from her hands towards the members of the Frost Wolf Mercenary Corps.

At this moment, Gray made no move, with no intention of defending.

He waved off his companions who were ready to act, smirking at the adversary.

As expected, the impressive flames passed by them, stirring the hot air, but causing no harm.

It was just like a phantom.

"Ha, Lina, you're still the same."

"If you want trouble, just say so, don't bother with these pointless tricks."

"Do you think I'm as dumb as Vander?"

Just then, a group of Holy Knights in heavy armor marched over not far away.

The holy runes on their armor flashed brilliantly, and their swords exuded a sacred aura, seemingly here to uphold the peace and justice of the city.

Their resolute expressions and majestic bearing emanated an unstoppable power.

These were the Divine Officers of the Dawn Church...

And they were the Guardians of Danerluo Port!
