I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Kane Floating City,

"Lis, what do we do now?"

The Black Cat looked at Lis, asking curiously.

Although Lis had delegated most decision-making powers concerning the Floating City to her, matters involving the Legendary still required Lis to make the final call.

Lis pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Since they have come, let them in."

The [Star Dome Observer] Oriolan Starlight, although not one of the most powerful in the Pan-Continent Mage Association, still possessed considerable strength. The Star Ring division he controlled held significant influence within the Pan-Continent Mage Association.

He was someone worth befriending.

Moreover, as a disciple of [Judgement Flame], Lis had some connections with the Pan-Continent Mage Association in a certain sense.

Lis had heard Mr. Stephens talk about the Pan-Continent Mage Association before. Although he generally didn't involve himself with the Association's affairs, Stephens still held the honorary title of president in the Pan-Continent Mage Association.

Stephens even intended for Lis to go to the Floating City of the Pan-Continent Mage Association for further studies. However, since Lis had many other things to do and held a secret of a well-preserved Floating City, the Pan-Continent Mage Association's Floating City did not particularly interest Lis.

Therefore, Lis politely declined what others considered an extraordinarily valuable opportunity.

Stephens at the time wasn't too concerned, as the opportunity, although valuable, wasn't significant for him.

Lis could go whenever he wanted.

Of course, besides the Floating City, the Pan-Continent Mage Association also possessed a considerable amount of good things and rare resources, accumulated over countless years by the Association.

Otherwise, the Pan-Continent Mage Association wouldn't be able to place itself on the same level as the Church of the Gods in the realm of top-tier Extraordinary forces.

The visit of [Star Dome Observer] Oriolan Starlight was undoubtedly on behalf of the Pan-Continent Mage Association to see Lis.

As for the purpose, Lis could even guess about seventy to eighty percent of it.

Whether it was to congratulate Lis on achieving Legendary status or to establish cooperation, the most important intent was definitely concerning Kane Floating City.

However, Lis was not worried.

Although the Pan-Continent Mage Association's strength was formidable, which Lis couldn't contend with at the moment, they also had their limitations.

Neither [Judgement Flame] Stephens' existence nor the Pan-Continent Mage Association's principle of [supporting anything beneficial for magic progress and development] allowed them to choose to seize the Floating City.

But this constraint is only on the surface. Lis wasn't some naive youngster and wouldn't easily believe such great forces were filled with well-meaning people.

All he had to do was to respond appropriately when the time came.

Lis stood up; since the [Star Dome Observer] had already arrived, he obviously needed to make an appearance.

...

[Star Dome Observer] Oriolan stood in the high sky, a gentle breeze brushing against his Mage Robe.

His gaze was sharp as he looked at the distant blue Floating City, his heart filled with emotion.

A Floating City, an almost intact Floating City!

As a high-ranking member of the Pan-Continent Mage Association, Oriolan fully understood the immense value of a well-preserved Floating City.

It could serve as the foundational legacy of an Extraordinary force.

Over countless years, while the Pan-Continent Mage Association continually explored secret realms across the Gaia World, they had never found a third Floating City.

And now, a brand-new Floating City appeared before Oriolan, how could it not stir emotions in him?

Moreover, the one controlling this Floating City was a remarkably young Legendary Mage, yet even with his heart tempered and refined over long years, Oriolan couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy and admiration.

Lis Kain!

What a fortunate young man!

And with this in mind, Oriolan shook his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

He had lost his poise.

For someone so young to achieve Legendary status, Lis's potential was limitless. He might even become as powerful as [Judgement Flame] Lord Stephens in the future.

Oriolan was acutely aware that although he held a high position in the Pan-Continent Mage Association, second only to those three, the gap in power felt insurmountable, and it was likely he would never bridge that gap.

Additionally...

The sole disciple of [Judgement Flame] Stephens...

The Favored of World Tree Yggdrasil...

The Controller of Kane Floating City...

Any of these identities made Oriolan hesitate to underestimate Lis, especially considering Lis was also a Legendary existence.

Reflecting on the recent turmoil erupting across the Gaia World, Oriolan felt moved.

Perhaps it was tumultuous times like these that gave rise to such extraordinary talents, wasn't it?

Just as Oriolan prepared to continue admiring the distant Kane Floating City, a figure appeared before him.

"Welcome, [Star Dome Observer] Oriolan."

Lis appeared in front of Oriolan, smiling as he spoke.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kane Floating City Controller Lis."

Having only recently achieved Legendary status, Lis had not yet received a Legendary title, so Oriolan greeted him by his respectful title as Controller of the Floating City.

Upon seeing Lis's appearance, Oriolan quickly understood one thing.

If Lis hadn't made prior arrangements to detect him from such a great distance, then undoubtedly, the Floating City's Detection Array was still functioning well.
