this was the normal state of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realm of a Legendary Assassin was not something he could fathom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it seemed that Joyce had gained quite a benefit after the Blood Sacrifice Chaos, and his strength had improved again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After following Joyce to the study and casually closing the door, Lis realized that Uncle Joyce must have something to tell him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated on the sofa, Joyce looked Lis up and down, nodding with a hint of admiration, “You’ve already broken through to the Gold Level?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Lis replied, not hiding anything in front of Joyce, whom he considered one of his most familiar and trusted people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you’ve also mastered an Extraordinary Domain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Legendary Strongman, Joyce could naturally see through Lis’s guise, for he possessed an even higher level of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis nodded slightly, and with a thought, three fantastical rings of blue, green, and silver-white circled around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Joyce sigh even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, he hadn’t expected that Little Lis would suddenly become so strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To break through to the Gold Level within a year was already astonishing enough, but to have mastered an Extraordinary Domain was beyond Joyce’s imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A year ago, he was still hesitating whether to pass on the Kane family’s legacy to Risa because of Little Lis’s mediocre performance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis nodded and emphasized his experiences of the past period to Joyce, especially the matter regarding Divine Island and Divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Lis had actually faced a Divine spirit’s remnant soul and absorbed its Divinity, Joyce almost lost his usually calm composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately grabbed Lis’s left hand, and his power entered Lis’s body, probing carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis offered no resistance; he knew Joyce was concerned for his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Silver Expert to absorb and integrate Divine Power was preposterously bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joyce’s brow furrowed; he indeed felt a powerful and majestic force hidden within Lis, deeply concealed but apparently showing no abnormal signs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Joyce did not sense any lingering consciousness of the Divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting go of Lis’s hand, Joyce breathed a sigh of relief and settled back into his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any power remaining from a deity is dangerous, especially the will that may linger within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That could be perilous even for Legends, let alone Professionals below that rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it appeared that Lis had been lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was too reckless!” Joyce looked rather displeased, considering it far too audacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should have reminded you earlier to revere Divine Power, to be very careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One must not covet the seemingly strong and tempting power within; too many have fallen on this path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joyce’s tone was stern; even he handled Divine Power with the utmost caution—it was unimaginable for Lis to have dared to absorb Divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, with Lis’s Talent, there was no need to take such shortcuts, which would have been safer to explore after achieving Legend status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand, Uncle Joyce,” Lis nodded, acknowledging his mistake sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he hadn’t guessed that the Holy Grail within the Divine Statue would contain Divinity, and he wasn’t sure he would dare to attempt to merge with Divinity again given another chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the feeling of enduring extreme mental oppression was too terrifying to bear, and it was sheer luck to have succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>",908,"2026-06-03T10:58:20.093Z","2026-06-03T10:58:25.962Z",1,"novelbin.me","5ccaad0a5b4704d2a8e712e585cf9656900da35ef2418983ff688779faed362a","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-454","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-452",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
