2)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard that before, you met Oliver from the Secret Meeting of Ten Thousand Forms, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis nodded, but Oliver didn’t hide his whereabouts, so it’s very normal for others to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I haven’t guessed wrong, Oliver probably wants to invite you to join the Secret Meeting of Ten Thousand Forms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it seems he didn’t succeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolcan said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis smiled slightly and then asked back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you also here today to invite me to join the Tower of Burning Embers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Certainly not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolcan shook his head and looked at Lis saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have thoughts in that direction, I naturally want to invite you to join the Tower of Burning Embers, even if it means giving you the position of School Leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, since you refused to become the Fourth Councilman back then, naturally you wouldn’t look at any School Leader position.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oliver was just taking a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then today…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis swirled the wine in his glass, feeling that Bolcan’s Fire Wine was indeed quite unique, planning to bring some back to Uncle Joyce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to understand why you, Lis, want to establish the Source of All Magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolcan looked at Lis and seriously said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What you said at the meeting, I think everyone knows, and you are right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the Pan Continent Mage Association is just too large!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wanting the Association to make the changes you envisioned, Lis, the difficulties and obstacles you’ll face are unimaginable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You might even face opposition from everyone else in the Association.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, Bolcan continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you eventually succeed, it will come at a tremendously high cost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t think, Lis, that you would pay that much just for the future of the Association.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you really want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Bolcan’s inquiry, Lis didn’t rush to answer, instead taking a sip of Fire Wine before calmly saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Bolcan, why do you ask such a question?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or rather, why do you think I would tell you my purpose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it not be that I’m doing all of this to rally others and control the entire Pan Continent Mage Association?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With those three Councilmen around, the Pan Continent Mage Association won’t fall into chaos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolcan leaned slightly backward, his chest muscles rising prominently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to know, is the Second Councilman Lord Stephens, who is your teacher, secretly directing you to do this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Bolcan tightly watched Lis’s expression, seemingly trying to discern something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis raised his head to look at Bolcan, smiling slightly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why ask such a question?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis was a bit surprised by Bolcan’s inquiry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, it could be said that Bolcan guessed half correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis indeed established the Source of All Magic under the council’s guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it wasn’t the Second Councilman Judgement Flame Stephens, but the Third Councilman Star Realm Weaver Tarinda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolcan couldn’t deduce anything from Lis’s expression, and he closed his eyes and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What you are trying to do, Lis, when realized, will be most detrimental to us schools.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether we are the top three schools or even those without a single Legendary Member.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Top schools would lose their previously held advantageous position, and their influence on the Association would dramatically decrease.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those small schools that fully disclose their heritage would have nothing left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even whether they’ll still be schools is another matter then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Bolcan, you do not support the concept of the Source of All Magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Lis’s inquiry, Bolcan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Naturally, that’s the case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, I think on that day all the Councilmen who heard your declaration understand that if your vision could be realized, the entire Pan Continent Mage Association would undoubtedly become much stronger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one who has reached our current level is foolish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if it involves sacrificing personal interests, I think not many would support you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lis, with your insight, you surely understand this, yet you still chose to do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And even announced your idea in such a direct manner!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolcan looked at Lis and said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve looked into your history and understand you’re not that flamboyant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Stephens also disregards such people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, I imagine you must have considerable confidence, assured that you can achieve your goal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think only those three Councilmen could give you such assurance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you are the disciple of the Second Councilman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, did you establish the Source of All Magic under Mr. Stephens’ direction?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis placed his wine glass on the table before him, making a soft sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Bolcan and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am curious, if I said that I did indeed act under Mr. Stephens’ direction, what would you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Bolcan didn’t hesitate at all, he took out a fiery red Magic Book and placed it on the table between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a broad hand resting on the cover, Bolcan looked at Lis and said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Magic Book is the Tower of Burning Embers’ most secret and precious legacy, recording spells and related Transcendent Knowledge accumulated by the school over countless years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have indeed received Mr. Stephens’ direction, I am willing to directly hand over the Tower of Burning Embers’ legacy to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And after that, any request you have, the Tower of Burning Embers will fulfill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis glanced at the Magic Book in front of him, curiously asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you do this, will the others in the Tower of Burning Embers agree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They don’t need to agree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint of cold light flashed in Bolcan’s eyes, and he said in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it is Mr. Stephens’ order, the Tower of Burning Embers will support it no matter what.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once given, it’s given, what more could they possibly say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Lis felt that Bolcan seemed to transform into a fierce and terrifying Magic Beast, emitting an extremely intense aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength… truly formidable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then if sacrificing so much, what does the Tower of Burning Embers… or should I say, what do you wish to gain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis continued asking unaffected by the terrifying aura emanating from Bolcan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolcan slowly shook his head, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Stephens has his principles naturally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His vision is something I can’t even slightly reach, I just need to follow Mr. Stephens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Er…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis truly didn’t expect Bolcan to give such an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Bolcan now appears to Lis as the most loyal fanboy of Mr. Stephens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supporting Mr. Stephens’ every decision unconditionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These passionate emotions seem unfit for the typical steady demeanor of a Legendary Mage, resembling more like the reckless Legendary Warriors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis nodded, smilingly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But sadly, this isn’t Mr. Stephens’ decision, it’s just my personal idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’ve gathered my intel, you should know I also hold the identity of World Tree Favored.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To confront the threats from the Evil God believers and Abyss Lords in the future, I need to unite more allies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Including the Pan Continent Mage Association.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Lis didn’t tell Bolcan the truth was due to multiple considerations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If others indeed think he’s doing this under the direction of the Second Councilman Stephens, the obstacles Lis faces would be much smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But concurrently, he wouldn’t meet the Third Councilman’s requirements either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to transforming the Association, Lis needs more to activate the entire Association’s vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than merely accepting Lis’s transformation like passively waiting, which holds no significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lis’s answer, Bolcan opted not to say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retracted the fiery red Magic Book and took out a black and red Magic Book, handing it to Lis:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case, I won’t say anything further.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Accept this!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1301,"2026-06-03T10:58:55.480Z","2026-06-03T10:58:59.615Z",1,"novelbin.me","c9c5f73f7391518cd7806c7d43d00c938733b446de347c921ba9425553d31c47","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1366","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1364",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
