eyes and stared intently at Lis in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis’s posture was upright, his face as handsome as a perfectly sculpted statue, with sharply defined contours seemingly carefully carved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he slightly raised the corner of his mouth into a gentle smile, it resembled the warm sun rays piercing through the clouds in spring, making one feel the gentility of his demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, behind this beautiful facade lurked a chilling truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Lis, a group of people in black robes were held captive by an unseen force, their bodies stiff, emitting low and painful moans as if souls imprisoned in a dark abyss struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis himself was exuding an intense Abyss Breath that couldn’t be dissolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This breath, like a black vortex, continuously devoured the surrounding Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely approaching, one couldn’t help but feel Fear, as if in the next second they would be swallowed by the Endless Darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze landing on Hanna, speaking softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, my Contractor, are you willing to forge a new contract with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I would like to respect your opinion, if you disagree, I would be quite troubled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was deep and magnetic, yet it echoed in Hanna’s ears like a Magic Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna’s body trembled slightly, hesitance growing wildly in her heart like vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her head, her eyes flickering uncertainly, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothes, unable to decide how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Hanna’s mind, the records from her family’s ancient books constantly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Summoning Ceremony of an Abyss Demon had always been an extremely dangerous affair in the long history of the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those ancient texts seemed to carry lessons of blood and tears, flashing before her again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The summoned Abyss Demons were like wild horses out of control, frequently leading to various unexpected incidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some demons went berserk after being successfully summoned, wantonly destroying and leaving devastation in their wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others reached some Evil agreement with the Summoner, leading them into the Endless Abyss;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the annals of the Kingdom, the Grant family was notorious for their Demon Summoning Ceremonies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, ancestors within the family pursued powerful Strength with repeated Demon Summoning Ceremonies, yet consistently triggered catastrophic events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets of the city were engulfed in the demon’s flames, innocent people screamed beneath the demon’s claws, the whole Kingdom plunged into Panic and Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the strong power and intimidation brought by Demon Summoning were also reasons why the Grant family could endure for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, these painful lessons weighed down on Hanna’s heart like a heavy shackle, causing her Fear and caution towards the Demon Summoning Ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna was well aware that Lis before her was a Demon from the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he displayed such gentleness and courtliness at this moment, his deeply hidden Evil nature was ready to erupt at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now this demon proposed forging a new contract with her, something unprecedented in the family records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this a chance to change her destiny, or a meticulously designed trap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna fell into deep hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis watched Hanna, feeling somewhat troubled himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, for Lis, being summoned outside the Endless Abyss was rather rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, he only encountered this once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were in Gaia Main World, Lis wouldn’t be so worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Main World, no matter where, Lis could swiftly arrive without wasting much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this small world, finding this place was very troublesome for Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Lis, the most foolish way was to search world by world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With countless small worlds like grains of sand by the sea, it’s impossible to check them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Lis wasn’t sure if this world he was in was discovered by the Main World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s an unknown location small world, it would be an even bigger trouble for Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, since the physical body couldn’t arrive shortly, Lis had to swiftly access the factions in the small world to verify its condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could identify the location of the small world, Lis’s main body could possibly arrive soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But anyway, this wasn’t something Lis could achieve quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When summoned by the Demon Summoning Ceremony, Lis had already sensed this ceremony was one-off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a one-way summon where Lis could stay for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, if Lis completed the contract with Hanna, the Demon Summoning Ceremony would send him back into the Endless Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis wanted to avoid this situation, trying to delay as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s of course a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis only needed to conclude another contract with the one who summoned him, Hanna, to continue maintaining this Demon Summoning Ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Lis’s proposal, Hanna was somewhat at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t seen such a situation before, thus hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it was truly as Lis stated, wouldn’t it imply she could continue to live?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, before utilizing the Demon Summoning Ceremony, she was prepared to offer her soul and body to an Abyss Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>",843,"2026-06-03T10:59:06.081Z","2026-06-03T10:59:12.836Z",1,"novelbin.me","c18808127446f2ca41ea82cca681e5c6a0b588432578b5816a15ba124c8ec820","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1656","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1654",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
