it was possible for them not to have dream spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Lis hadn’t expected was that he couldn’t find a corresponding anchoring point for the soul of the player in front of him in the Dream World!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the “Sphinx Dream Building Skill,” all living beings’ souls should have a corresponding projection coordinate in the Dream World, which is where their dream space would be located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as a creature has a soul, it must have an anchoring point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they enter into slumber, their dream space would appear at the corresponding location in the Dream World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through to the Golden Rank, Lis was already able to observe these anchoring points in the Dream World, and he had tested this out before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time he did not find the anchoring point for “Lonely for Drunkenness,” not a single trace of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, there was no projection of their souls in the Dream World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was somewhat unexpected for Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was the reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because of the special nature of the players’ souls, or was it because they… lacked souls?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet within them, Lis could sense the presence of their souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as Lis knew, spells related to souls should also normally take effect on players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After trying for a while, Lis gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players’ current status seemed to him like a fully functional computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It operated just like any other computer, and there appeared to be nothing abnormal on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lis knew that this was not like a normal computer; there must be something wrong inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows if the insides consisted of normal circuits and chips, or if a mass of twisted, insane tentacles would jump out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that with his current abilities, Lis was not yet able to open the casing of this computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of helplessness, Lis could only temporarily abandon the idea of exploring the players and swiftly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had many things to do, such as preparing a little surprise for the players to send to the Boditch Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the depths of Boditch Royal Palace, within a hidden Magic Workshop buried underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was not at all like a normal Magic Workshop, cluttered with various high-end experimental apparatuses; instead, there were neatly arranged dark brown wooden bookshelves filled with all sorts of books, with the faint scent of incense permeating the air, making it look more like a private study of an old scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, one could see faint Magic Light flickering over each book, undoubtedly signifying that these were Magic Books imbued with magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the workshop stood a spacious wooden desk, cluttered with stacks of drafts covered in handwriting, and ink-soaked quill pens haphazardly pressed down on the papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Wendell, everyone in the Mage Group is feeling somewhat uneasy,” a middle-aged man dressed in a golden Mage Robe said, standing in the middle of the workshop and speaking respectfully to the elder who was sitting at the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, aged voice sounded, but the middle-aged man waited a long time without receiving any further response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secretive location once again seemed to fall into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After biting his lip, the middle-aged man, Pedy, seemed to make up his mind and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, the Boditch Kingdom is beyond saving now; Master Hade and the others have already started preparing in secret. You wouldn’t…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, Pedy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle voice rose again, calm words with no trace of any other emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pedy immediately stopped speaking, standing respectfully in front of the old man with his head bowed, a habit he had cultivated since childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn’t mind; in his heart, Wendell was his most beloved teacher, revered as much as a father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple, unadorned gray cotton robe draped over the elder’s thin and frail frame, but no one in Luminous Stone City dared underestimate this Great Mage renowned for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the leader of the Boditch Royal Mage Group, Wendell had been in this position for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most mages in the Royal Mage Group had been taught by Wendell; his wide knowledge, kindness, care for his subordinates, and his noble conduct, despite coming from a Boditch Kingdom Nobles’ family, won him respect without stooping to the level of those degenerate types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was only among the mages; to the Bodici Nobles, Wendell was rather irksome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone were equally mediocre, it wouldn’t matter, but Wendell stood out like a lotus blooming out of the mud, highlighting their incompetence and foolishness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one would admit to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, due to Wendell’s high status and great strength, even King Bodich, though dim-witted, held him in high regard, and no one dared to be disrespectful in his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand all that you have said…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wendell slowly stood up from his chair and looked at Pedy kindly, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or rather, all this has happened with my tacit approval.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pedy was somewhat taken aback; in his view, Master Wendell, who had always been loyal to the Boditch Kingdom and the Royal Family over the long years, should not agree with the occurrence of such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wendell’s disciple, Pedy was indifferent to the Boditch Royal Family; he knew the stupidity and ineptitude of the Kingdom Nobles. He believed that the Boditch Kingdom was beyond saving and that the efforts outside Luminous Stone City were just a futile struggle before death.\u003C\u002Fp>",981,"2026-06-03T10:58:20.094Z","2026-06-03T10:58:25.962Z",1,"novelbin.me","a3bdd9dfded1bfdb3a34f9b3f2e8e2c3182c3bae4b7157b4ec09b12aa4e7955a","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-424","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-422",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
