I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 625: The Secret of Ascension to the Gods
Kane's floating city,
Li Si frowned as he looked at the ability of [Sphinx Ascension] on the system panel.

According to the prompt on the system panel, if you want to upgrade [Sphinx Ascension], you will need 100 million experience points just for the first upgrade.

For Li Si now, 100 million experience points are not too much, but thinking about how much his ascension to the godhood will be upgraded to, Li Si feels a little melancholy.

It seems that we need to collect more experience!

But now, let’s improve the level of the god-ascension technique before thinking about other things.
-
[You consumed 100 million experience points!]
[Your [Sphinx Ascension] level is increased: Level 1 → Level 2!]
[You consumed 300 million experience points!]
[Your [Sphinx Ascension] level is increased: Level 2 → Level 3!]
[You have consumed 1 billion experience points!]
[Your [Sphinx Ascension] level increased: Level 3 → Level 4!]——
After consuming 1.4 billion experience points, Li Si stopped the option of continuing to upgrade his level.

It's not that he doesn't want to improve. If he wants to continue to improve [Sphinx Ascension], he will need 2 billion experience points.

The experience points that Li Si had gained from harvesting players with great difficulty had been used up, so this was the only thing he could do for now.

As the level of [Sphinx Ascension] increases, Li Si's understanding of the Ascension becomes more profound.

Generally speaking, after breaking through to the legendary level, one will be able to access the deeper rules and mysteries of the Gaia world. This is also the process of comprehending and improving the legendary realm.

However, although it is easy to say, it is not an easy task.

Otherwise, the road to godhood wouldn’t be so difficult. Most legends even fall at the threshold of the road to godhood.

Compared to when he was at the Golden Level, Li Si felt that his sensitivity to the rules of the world had become much sharper after achieving legend.

If at the Golden Stage, comprehending the rules of the world is like sitting in a closed room, listening to the sound of the wind coming in through the gaps in doors and windows.

After the legend, it was like officially opening a closed window and feeling the breeze on your face.

And now, after Li Si upgraded the level of [Sphinx Ascension], his understanding of the rules of the world is like expanding the originally opened window by a large circle.

It makes Li Si's understanding of the world's rules more real and more acute.

[Sphinx's Divine Art] is indeed quite magical!

Li Si felt a little emotional. He didn't expect there would be such a wonderful effect.

With the help of the [Sphinx's Ascension], Li Si's speed of understanding the world's rules, which was already very fast under the influence of the [Wisdom] field, reached a new level.

However, this is not the true effect of [Sphinx Divine Art].

Li Si spread out his right hand, and four colored magic element particles appeared in the palm of his hand: red, azure, sky blue, and earth brown. Under Li Si's precise control, the four colored magic elements slowly approached the pale white power of faith in the center, and rotated and merged.

Li Si's expression was extremely solemn, as if there was an extremely dangerous bomb in his hand.

Soon, the four-color magic elements were completely integrated into the power of faith, and the color of the power of faith gradually changed, eventually forming a special power that flashed with inexplicable light. The four colors of red, azure, sky blue, and earth brown continued to emerge on it, yet merged into one.

Li Si carefully held the special power in his palm and said in amazement:

“Is this the elemental power?”

What appeared in Li Si's hands was the effect that the Sphinx's divine art could currently achieve, purifying the power of faith and transforming it into elemental divine power.

According to the records of the Sphinx's divine art, if one wants to purify the power of faith and transform it into elemental divine power, the prerequisite is to advance the four basic elements of earth, water, fire, and wind to the third level of the legendary realm. This is a prerequisite for achieving the realm of condensed priesthood.

Similarly, this is also a prerequisite for condensing the prototype of the elemental godhood.

Only by condensing the prototype of his own elemental godhood can Li Si use the prototype of the elemental godhood to purify and transform the power of faith and condense the elemental divine power.

After condensing the elemental divine power, Li Si was able to continuously complete the prototype of the elemental godhood until it was completely complete, and finally use it as a foundation to ignite the elemental divine fire and try to finally ascend to godhood.

Originally, Li Si was still a long way from condensing the elemental power.

Soon after he broke through to the legendary level, he successfully mastered the extraordinary realms of the four basic elements of earth, wind, water and fire. This should be the advantage of the arcane profession. Li Si felt that it would not take much time to advance the realms of these four elements from extraordinary to legendary.

Even so, it is unknown how long it will take Li Si to master the four elements of the third level of legend.

But now, Li Si skipped these prerequisites directly by upgrading the skill level of the Sphinx's divine art and successfully condensed the elemental divine power.

Just as Li Si was carefully observing the elemental divine power in his hand, he suddenly found that the divine power in his hand began to tremble and twist.

Li Si raised his eyebrows, and without any hesitation, threw the elemental power in his hand to a corner far away from the laboratory.

boom!
A violent explosion sounded, and the elemental power collapsed directly after losing Li Si's restraint, with infinite power.

The Arcane Laboratory is one of the most important areas in the entire floating city. When danger is discovered, massive amounts of magic power are mobilized to directly offset and limit most of the impact of the elemental magic explosion. But even so, a small corner of the laboratory's wall was still damaged.

But the treasure dragon nest that Miraporeas carefully built in a corner of the laboratory was not so lucky. It completely collapsed under the bombardment of elemental divine power, and most of the gold coins turned directly into ashes under the fierce impact.

Li Si's remaining gold coins and gems were scattered around the laboratory, and he shook his head helplessly.

Sure enough, taking shortcuts still has risks.

but
Li Si looked at the damaged wall of the Arcane Laboratory and was a little surprised.

This power is a bit exaggerated!

It is a power that only a demigod-level strong man can possess!

Yes, as long as one successfully condenses and purifies the divine power, one will already be a demigod.

Whether or not one possesses divine power is the dividing line between a demigod and a legend.

Of course, this is just a difference in status, and it does not mean that a demigod is necessarily more powerful than a legend.

Most of the demigod-level warriors in the Gaia world today are no match for Stephens, the Flame of Judgment.

Li Si successfully condensed the elemental divine power, and in a sense he could be considered a demigod. However, compared to a normal demigod, he was too incomplete.

Touching his chin, Li Si felt that the effect of the Sphinx's magic was still quite powerful. He had just experienced it personally.

Although the Sphinx did not create elemental power for fighting, this power is still quite terrifying.

An ordinary legend who was caught off guard by the elemental power would definitely be injured or even in danger of death. However, the elemental power was not without its shortcomings.

The situation just now was that Li Si had no way to control the elemental divine power, so that the elemental divine power directly exploded in time and space.

The reason for this situation was that Li Si was controlling the elemental power for the first time and was not yet proficient in it.

The more important reason is that Li Si has not yet condensed the elemental divine core and has no way to store and control the elemental divine power.

Given Li Si's current condition, the condensation of elemental divine power can only be carried out in real time, and there is no way to stabilize the state of the elemental divine power.

[Sphinx Ascension] was upgraded to level 4. Although it also allowed Li Si to overcome the prerequisites and condense the prototype of the elemental godhood, it would quickly dissipate like the elemental power.

Then there wouldn't be much meaning.

However, despite so many restrictions, Li Si was still in a very happy mood.

Concentrating the elemental power was a rather wonderful experience for him, as if it opened the door to a new world for Li Si, allowing him to appreciate the scenery at a higher altitude in advance.

This is quite beneficial to Li Si's future.

More importantly, while Li Si was condensing elemental power through the [Sphinx Ascension Technique], the specific effect was equivalent to allowing Li Si to enhance his perception of the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire to the third level of the legendary realm.

This effect is quite useful, or even invincible.

This is equivalent to an ordinary person who wants to become a sharpshooter. He can only start from the beginner level and learn little by little, becoming proficient in guns, aiming, and shooting.
Only by constantly exploring, making mistakes, and spending a lot of time to master each step to the highest level can you become a sharpshooter who never misses.

And now, Li Si is just like an ordinary person who uses a temporary experience card to become a sharpshooter.

Feel the sharpshooter's ability in advance, get familiar with the feeling of pulling the trigger every time, and understand the trick of aiming at the target every time. Although the sharpshooter's ability will disappear after the temporary experience card expires, Li Si's feelings and experiences in this process will not disappear.

Originally, if Li Si wanted to upgrade the four elemental realms to the third level of legend, he needed to rely on his own perception to explore, but now the Sphinx's divine art seemed to have directly erased the forks, wrong roads, and dead ends in the upgrade process, leaving only a smooth road between Li Si and his goal.

All Li Si needs to do is keep his head down and move forward.

Earn money with blood!

Li Si carefully experienced the feeling just now and felt very happy.

In this way, Li Si's road to reaching the peak of legend has been paved, and all that remains is hard work.

Is this how the system is really used?
Love it!

Li Si suppressed his excitement and continued to devote himself to exploring and mastering the elemental power.

Soon, a series of booming explosions began in the Arcane Laboratory, but thanks to Li Si's advance preparation, no additional damage would be caused to the laboratory.

Time always passes quickly when immersed in arcane experiments.

During this period, apart from receiving visitors from the Church of the Gods and the Elf Kingdom a few times and getting a lot of supplies for free, Li Si basically stayed in the Arcane Laboratory to study elemental divine power.

Similarly, the impact of Li Si's legendary breakthrough and the appearance of Kane's floating city on players began to emerge over time.

In recent days, the number of players coming to Port Danerlo has tripled, and even players from the central part of the Fanor Continent are rushing to Port Danerlo.

However, the number of players recruited by the White Dove Chamber of Commerce also skyrocketed, allowing Li Si to happily harvest countless fresh leeks that were delivered to his door.

After all, for players, it is the late stage of version 2.0, and they have already experienced many contents in the [Total War] version, but the appearance of Kane's floating city is completely new content.

To be honest, the most real shock brought to players is when they see Kane's floating city flying in the sky.

Now is not the late stage when gods and demon lords are taking action and legendary saints are flying all over the sky. What can make players feel that they really exist in a fantasy extraordinary world better than a city in the sky?
This is why the [Temporary Landing Certificate for Kane's Floating City] is so popular on the player forum.

The longer players stay in Cain's floating city, the higher the attribute bonuses they will get. The effects of [Cairn's floating city·Magic Training] and [Praise of Life] are equivalent to new powerful expertise.

After all, with only 24 hours of island access, it is impossible to explore the entire Kane Floating City.

Even though dozens of [Temporary Landing Permits for Cain's Floating City] have been drawn by players so far, the vlogs of each player's tour of Cain's Floating City have remained popular on the player forum.

Players' enthusiasm for exploring Kane's floating city has not diminished at all, and has even intensified.

A collection post has appeared on the player forum, collecting and supplementing the map of Kane's floating city.

Of course, the players have tried other methods, such as hiding and trying to stay in the floating city for more time, but every time they are caught like mice by the elemental golems in the floating city.

However, on several occasions, some players also saw a cat-eared girl wearing a black maid uniform, directing elemental golems to search for players.

Kane's floating city, core tower control room,
The cat-eared girl hummed an unknown tune happily while processing the dense information on the screen in front of her.

For Black Cat, with the blessing of the floating city, these affairs are nothing to her, a magical intelligent life. This is also her daily work that she needs to face every day to maintain the normal operation of the entire floating city.

But the black cat didn't care, instead he was very happy.

This is much better than the boring days in the Dream Temple.

Really, why didn't I meet Li Si earlier~
The girl shook her slender black tail and controlled the Hurricane to receive the extraordinary supplies newly delivered from Port Danlo.

hum~
At this time, the red alarm sounded, instantly attracting the black cat's attention.

what's the situation?
This was the first time that Black Cat received a danger warning from the floating city's detection magic circle after Kane's floating city appeared.

The black cat frowned as he looked at the information returned by the detection magic circle.

"Eleven kilometers west of the floating city, a legendary aura has been detected, and it is getting closer?"

Among the envoys from the Church of the Gods who came to visit Li Si before, there were also legendary beings, but they had arranged for people to notify Li Si in advance.

Now Black Cat has not received any advance warning, and this newly emerged legendary aura is heading straight towards the floating city?
enemy? !
