performing a standard curtsy, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Son, what are your orders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angela smiled slightly and then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Lord Burns currently in the castle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord Burns has been in a deep slumber since you last left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis, standing behind the two of them, couldn’t help but grin upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goodness, how much of a homebody is Burns?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he really sleeping all the time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Angela was certain, she nodded and said to the maid:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare afternoon tea for me, double the sugar, and make more cheesecake and pudding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Angela turned to Lis and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lis, would you like anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pastries at my place are not much worse than those at yours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything, whatever you prefer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis shook his head slightly and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s go, let’s find the basement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the time I return, Lord Burns should have noticed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angela nodded and directly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why she hadn’t directly gone to the basement where Burns was resting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, there was a sound of knocking at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marion pushed the door open and entered, speaking respectfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Lis, Divine Son, Lord Burns invites you both over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angela nodded, with an expression that she had foreseen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marion, long time no see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis smiled and greeted Marion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Lis, it is my honor to see you again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marion greeted meticulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a sigh arose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when he first met Lis, he was a Golden Rank Blood Clan, while Lis was only a Silver Tier Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because of the presence of the Legendary Assassin by Lis’s side, he held a certain respect for Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what happened later almost made Marion unable to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis’s strength rapidly improved, breaking through to Legend in just a year or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marion had lived for a long time, but he had never encountered a situation like Lis’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he became the one to awaken the Divine Son, and the Divine Son continued to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking through it, Marion could only find this reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Burns is waiting for us, if we wait too long, he might fall asleep again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Marion stopped chatting and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, Lis, let’s hurry up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angela seemed to recall some unpleasant past, speaking quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis and Angela followed behind Marion, heading towards the lower part of the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ascending the deep green stone-bricked steps, Lis and Angela cautiously explored towards the deepest part of the ancient castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stairs seemed to stretch endlessly, with each stone brick etched with the mottled traces of time, cold and solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping onto them produced a dull and monotonous sound, echoing in the empty staircase, adding to the eerie mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their steps continued to move downward, Lis gradually felt that the journey far exceeded the height that the castle should exhibit above ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Presumably, the mountain beneath the castle had been excavated to create an extremely deep underground space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis estimated in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had visited this castle before and had heard from Angela about Burns’s somewhat unique dwelling, though he had never ventured into the underground area then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, at that time, he was just at Gold Rank and dared not offend the majesty of the Legendary Blood Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This underground space seemed like a giant puzzle hidden in the darkness, enticing him to venture deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they continued downward, the surrounding environment was slowly changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The occasional slight sounds that could be heard from the top of the castle had now vanished completely, replaced by a silence that weighed on the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air seemed to solidify, heavy enough to suffocate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness permeating the air was not just visual, but seemed like a tangible substance, entwining Lis, as if guiding him into eternal slumber in the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there was a deceptive sense of tranquility amidst the darkness, like the calm before a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this had no effect on Lis, who had mastered the [Darkness] Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Lis and Angela arrived at the door to the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the door’s hinges produced an ear-piercing creak, the door slowly opened, and a heavier dark aura invaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis squinted his eyes and saw an exceedingly magnificent and spacious coffin placed in the center of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coffin resembled a small palace, emitting a dazzling light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was adorned with splendid gemstones and intricately crafted golden patterns, winding around the coffin, displaying endless luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hardly seemed like the dwelling of the deceased, more like an exquisite work of art, leaving one in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, from the seemingly gorgeous coffin, Lis felt a deeply entrenched sense of Darkness and Blood Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that Prince Burns hadn’t broken through to Demigod, yet wasn’t far off either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having mastered the Power of Demigod, Lis sensed the Blood Clan aura originating from the magnificent coffin and estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lis’s gaze, the coffin gradually opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy coffin lid scraped against the edge, emitting a deep and prolonged sound, as if a sigh from ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lid shifted open bit by bit, a figure slowly sat up from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure was hunched, their spine bent as a taut bow, seemingly burdened with an endless weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was concealed in darkness, indistinct, yet his extremely weary appearance was palpable, as if he hadn’t slept in ten days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura he exuded was gloomy, like a dense fog enshrouding the castle, oppressively overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, despite appearing so fatigued, the powerful Legendary Aura emanating from him surged like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure slowly emerged from the coffin, moving slowly as if leaving the warmth of a bed on a winter’s morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burns looked at Lis and Angela, slowly nodding and saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lis, long time no see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you, Angela, what brings you back this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord hasn’t issued an oracle; you should focus on training and growing. Why disturb me again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Burns, I truly have matters to discuss with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angela looked at Burns, somewhat embarrassed, and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the matter, speak quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burns seemed unable to lift his eyelids, as if he might fall asleep at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lis was injured in the battle with Spider Queen Rose, and I wish to ask Ancestor Lord for assistance, to see if there’s anything that can help Lis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Burns looked at Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, his gaze fell on Lis’s right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if sensing something, Burns’s eyes became sharp instantly, his hunched back suddenly straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Burns looked at Lis with a serious expression and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You actually didn’t die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The power in your body that’s opposing Spider Queen Rose, what’s the situation with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burns could feel the terrifying power of the Abyssal Brand in Lis’s right arm, and was quite shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense that if the same power was on him, he would surely die instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor might not even have the chance to save him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lis currently appeared not to have any abnormality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the power in Lis’s body opposing the Abyss Power, Burns couldn’t feel it; he only deduced it from the status of the Abyss Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, since most of Lis’s Strength was used against the Abyssal Brand, Burns hadn’t noticed that Lis had already broken through to Demigod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some secrets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis shook his head slightly, then sincerely said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I do wish to request help from Lord Cain, hoping you, Prince Burns, can assist us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-03T10:59:04.413Z","2026-06-03T10:59:12.558Z",1,"novelbin.me","2aabc71210567250269c867fa51a564ef8bd74f17f5b997b741cea73f122e23c","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1557","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1556",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
