entity’s inquiry, Stephens, sitting in the center, opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the existence lingering in the mist, shook his head slightly, and said with a hint of taunt:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demogorgon, when did a great existence like you want to cooperate with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You clearly know this is impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demogorgon paused, his tone devoid of any fluctuation, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, but any matter has its exceptions, doesn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like I never imagined my plan would be disrupted by a mage who hasn’t even reached the level of legend...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like clearly you’ve entered the Endless Abyss, yet I’m still powerless against you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I think you are qualified to cooperate with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing is eternally unchanged, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, keep thinking about it then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stephens shook his head, saying no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this terrifying Demon Prince, Stephens decided not to say much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides great strength, Demogorgon is extremely adept at enticing others into corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this perspective, he seems less like a demon and more like a sly, cunning devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He often unknowingly sets up countless pieces, waiting for them to grow secretly, ultimately bringing the result Demogorgon wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus he is considered a maverick among Abyss Lords, most feared and guarded against by the Order Camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stephens is quite confident in himself but not to the point of arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he truly didn’t need to mind Demogorgon, he wouldn’t be trapped here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning from Lis that Demogorgon has hidden setups in Gaia World, Stephens began secretly searching and uprooting Demogorgon’s dark pawns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Demogorgon’s setups are quite concealed, but Stephens has his special methods,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back now, it should have been from then that he got noticed by Demogorgon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Stephens also didn’t expect this Demon Prince to be so patient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through a seemingly ordinary dark pawn, a trap was set to directly trap him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the special Magic Wand in his hand, \"Gaia’s Fury,\" Stephens would certainly have been done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Stephens has no way to escape from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can only hope that the setups he made in advance will serve their purpose...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the situation is quite bad, Stephens has no regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actively uprooting Demogorgon’s setups was something he was willing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for that, this \"Gaia’s Fury\" wouldn’t have appeared in his hand and be under his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, don’t be so sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demogorgon’s voice echoed again, seemingly indifferent to Stephens’ attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although compared to other ants, your life has lasted a relatively long time, but compared to us, you are no different from a baby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve only stayed here for a few years, saying such things is too early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay here for hundreds or even thousands of years, I believe you’ll change your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, even if you can hold out, how long can this annoying little thing stay by your side?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gaia Guardian, why sacrifice yourself for this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demogorgon’s voice seemed filled with endless temptation, carrying a convincing tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, Stephens gave no response to Demogorgon’s persuasion, closing his eyes as if ignoring it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Demogorgon chuckled and did not continue persuading, his massive body vanishing from the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is very patient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, after controlling Stephens, the Gaia Guardian, no one else should interfere with his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danerluo Port,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to before, the number of players in Danerluo Port has decreased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is not because the players chose to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After preparing for the opening of the 4.0 mainline version, players went into the Underground City to start the war missions against abyssal monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the incident’s impact on Danerluo Port is not significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before going into retreat, Lis already set up the spatial passage from Danerluo Port to various underground cities on the Fanor Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Church of the Gods also unanimously chose Danerluo Port as their logistics focal point across various fronts on the Fanor Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One aspect, during the chaos caused by the \"Phillips Crystal,\" Danerluo Port stood out as the most stable among the three locations where \"Phillips Crystal\" descended, building a solid foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Danerluo Port has undergone long-term trade operations, with a significant reserve of extraordinary materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, also due to the unique identity and status of Lis, the Lord of Danerluo Port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although in the fight against evil god believers and Abyss Evil God, the Church of the Gods would join forces to confront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But likewise, there is not a total absence of conflict between the churches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this scenario, the new World Tree Favored Lis and his territory are undoubtedly a suitable middle ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the Church of the Gods would not lack locations with more abundant guardian power and resources; they wouldn’t have to choose Danerluo Port as the most vital material consolidation and rest point on the Fanor Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the friendship and tacit understanding forged from Lis’ long-term cooperation with the Church of the Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Danerluo Port becoming the rear base for the Underground City frontline brings obvious benefits to Lis,\u003C\u002Fp>",853,"2026-06-03T10:59:03.895Z","2026-06-03T10:59:11.324Z",1,"novelbin.me","a7290adc463bdad28070291934d65f7e251193c305c4f4811cb44308fabb0f04","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1549","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1547",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
