he couldn’t just turn around and leave, leaving this big shot aside, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder what promise you need from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis looked at the apparently happy Azus and cautiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t know Azus’s purpose, caution was paramount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azus looked at Lis, feeling quite pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What promise… I haven’t figured it out yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Azus, Lis’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt a wave of speechlessness inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This God of Knowledge in front of him seemed so offbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if saying to Lis, sorry, I just casually gave you a gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t mean any harm; don’t think too much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this feeling, Lis did not relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Past lives have proven not to underestimate any great being on a divine throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the God of Fantasy and Knowledge may not be the strongest among the gods who control the [Knowledge] position, but is the one with the longest existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he wouldn’t have accumulated so much knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was completely different from facing a god like the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, Lis didn’t have the confidence to escape from the current Azus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azus in front wasn’t a simple projection; this was a card Azus had left countless years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This divine incarnation of Azus might be much stronger than general Legendary Strongmen, and the restrictions from the Gaia World would be much looser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it wasn’t something Lis could face alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, if Azus had any excessive demands, Lis would be helpless and could only admit defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not admitting defeat wasn’t an option; he couldn’t go fight Azus, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lis’s face showed some frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azus naturally noticed Lis’s helplessness, clapped his hands with a smile, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be like this; I won’t make any excessive demands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just that you’re indeed too weak now; let’s discuss this promise after you ignite the divine fire and ascend the throne.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really have high expectations for me; I don’t even have the confidence to reach that step now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Azus’s consolation, Lis responded with a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you, as a World Tree Favored, can’t achieve even this, then it’s hopeless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azus smiled and shook his head, seemingly very confident in Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis didn’t say much, just showed a proper amount of embarrassment on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azus looked at Lis’s expression, understanding that Lis remained very wary of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t hold any hostility towards you, whether it’s your identity as a World Tree Favored or the special power you possess…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis heard this and his pupils slightly shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azus had indeed discovered the [Wisdom] domain he possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that why he made a move to test?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the [Wisdom] domain is quite unique and doesn’t specifically reveal itself externally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even divine beings find it hard to detect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the War God noticed it only when Lis received the baptism of the War God’s faith, and the [Wisdom] domain helped Lis master the [War] and [Slaughter] domains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Azus sought to test Lis by gifting him, helping Lis enhance his control over the [Fantasy] domain to see if he possessed the [Wisdom] domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, Azus, who controls the [Knowledge] position, had long detected special signs from him, which might be the real reason for Azus’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis’s heart sank slightly, surpassing his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, Azus’s so-called promise meant to be fulfilled after he became a god…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it aimed at seizing the [Wisdom] position he would consolidate after becoming a god?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis was very cautious and already considering escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azus noticed Lis’s fear, slightly dazed, then understood Lis’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a somewhat helpless expression, Azus looked at Lis and found him somewhat troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his previous words might have indeed been ambiguous, Lis was overly cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly not planning to do such a thing, only intending to invest in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Gods knew the significance of the World Tree Favored; Lis was destined to be a very crucial character in the future turmoil of the Gaia World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it meant little to Azus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike other spirits, he was more devoted to pursuing infinite knowledge, never meddling in the conflicts of All Gods, rarely making moves, and had no enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Azus wasn’t too worried about the chaotic era that the future Gaia World faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When noticing the [Wisdom] domain Lis controlled, he was indeed surprised and somewhat eager, but quickly suppressed the rising greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a God of Knowledge, he knew very well the power embodied by the [Wisdom] domain; once Lis ascended successfully, his strength certainly wouldn’t remain at the weak divine power rank like an ordinary ascending god.\u003C\u002Fp>",878,"2026-06-03T10:58:42.896Z","2026-06-03T10:58:45.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","cf790cfdd3e569bd9afdcc6d7b77d5613bc0006e02fc769d682c3c1e783cb726","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1072","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1071",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
