Is it that deity? Then does the “-1” suffix indicate a derivative of its subsystem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En shook his head; the intelligence was too scarce to make an accurate judgment. The only certainty was that Li Ensu had indeed done something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, quite generous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Regular Divine Spell list updated. Obtained Minor Restoration.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed repetitive again, but it was expected—this spell was useful and low-cost, favored by many deities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was little expectation for the quantity or quality of universal divine spells; newborn deities were weak. The real gain lay in the benefits brought by second-ring priests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Second-Ring Priest, choose your domain. Current options: ‘Arts (Singer)’, ‘Sun’.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger the deity, the more choices they offer. The original God of Drama had only one domain: ‘Arts,’ which had little to do with combat and could barely grant minor bard-like abilities at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sun Domain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need for further thought—the Sun Domain was inherently an extremely powerful divine domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Obtained First-Ring Divine Spell: Burning Hands. Second-Ring Divine Spell: Fire Arrow.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two spells acquired, but they were merely imitation versions of identical wizard spells. To Li En, they were nearly meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What mattered was the next thing—Divine Grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Choose your Divine Grace evolution path (Sun).】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can actually choose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En was surprised—such things were usually given outright, but after carefully reviewing, he grew even more satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Divine Grace: Complete Combustion (Second-Ring): Activate to grant your fire and light-based evocation spells the fullest combustion effect (similar to hyper-oxygenated state) for the next ten seconds. Twice daily, replenished naturally by sunrise.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the true strength of a Domain Priest—the reason behind the joke that “the strongest thunder magic belongs to Storm Priests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said Storm Priests could turn an area into a “superconducting state.” In such a state, lightning damage doubled at minimum—accidentally vaporizing a dragon was entirely possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, this was authority, a divine privilege. Though limited by usage (frequency and cost), when combined with other supernatural abilities, it became “conditionally overwhelming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power operated on a logic and principle entirely different from normal spells—it was a partial correction of the world itself, a true “bug” ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sun Domain wasn’t this extreme, but still powerful; merely “Complete Combustion” could multiply the burning effect of fire and light spells severalfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it required no extra cost. Normal spells, flames, and combustion were never complete—this Divine Grace caused all combustion to erupt fully in an instant, drastically increasing instantaneous lethality.\u003C\u002Fp>",587,"2026-06-19T21:45:42.084Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","37983ec0a093e4ec40607e794f380ad4bc1276c3e83bf4e49733ed0f96c08abe","the-dragon-of-a-thousand-faces-chapter-343","the-dragon-of-a-thousand-faces-chapter-341",362,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-of-a-thousand-faces-cover.jpg"]
