I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 760 The Beginning of Clericity
Thunder overseas,

Li Si remained there, solemnly observing the core area of ​​the Thunder Sea.

He gazed at the pale blue orb made of World Rune Culture, his eyes fixed on the broken patterns that occasionally disappeared around the orb.

The more Li Si looked at those broken patterns, the more he was drawn in.

In his eyes, these broken, unique patterns all possessed extremely different powers.

Each line seemed to be showing Li Si different aspects of the rules of thunder.

However, even with such a display, it is beyond Li Si's current comprehension.

Every strange vision that appeared in Li Si's mind, no matter how hard he tried to remember it, the memory of it would quickly disappear, leaving only a trace in the end.

Faced with this situation, Li Si did not act rashly.

He patiently observed the core area of ​​the Thunder Sea, watching the intermittently appearing and disappearing broken patterns.

These should all be a tiny fraction of the runes in the [Thunder] world.

Li Si remained in place, continuously tracing these broken patterns in the air.

During each copying process, different aspects of thunder's characteristics would appear in Li Si's mind.

Even though Li Si had difficulty remembering the thunder in his mind, and even the broken patterns he had just copied were hard to recall, he did not stop the copying process.

With each copy, Li Si felt he gained a deeper understanding of the characteristics and power of thunder.

With each copy, Li Si was able to remember a little more of the broken patterns.

As Li Si continued to imitate, with the help of the [Wisdom] realm, his understanding of the [Thunder] rules became increasingly profound.

In his eyes, Thunder gained more insights.

As his understanding deepened, a wondrous feeling surged through Li Si's heart like a turbulent wave.

Each bolt of lightning, born from the heavens and earth, breaks through all obstacles with unstoppable force. Its trajectory, slicing through the sky, is like a sharp blade wielded by the world, severing all darkness and confusion.

Every flash of thunder is a declaration of war against cowardice.

Every roar is a shout in the face of adversity, embodying a spirit of courage and fearlessness.

As Li Si delved deeper into the matter, Thunder revealed another agile side of itself.

It dances gracefully among the clouds, using lightning as its pen and roaring sounds as its melody, writing the most magnificent poem in the world.

Its ever-changing shape sometimes resembles a dragon emerging from the sea, and sometimes a silver snake dancing wildly; every arc contains endless rhythm and beauty.

It is a symphony composed by the world and nature, allowing Li Si to feel the magnificence and dynamism contained within thunder.

When Li Si touched the core of Thunder's rules, he seemed to see the root of Thunder's rules.

The Thunder are the judges!
Judging everything about the adversaries!
With overwhelming power, it destroys the enemy's body and soul!

No matter how well the enemy hides, Thunder can bring them out with overwhelming force and deliver the most severe punishment.

Impartial and impartial, it maintains the order and balance of the world with absolute fairness.

It treats everyone equally, destroying everything that stands in its way.

On the other side of the destructive power of thunder, new life is also being born.

After those thunderstorms, the earth, cleansed by the thunder, burst forth with vitality. All things thrived under the baptism of the thunder, and the soil became soft and fertile under the nourishment of the rain brought by the thunder.

The seeds sleeping in the fields awaken to the roar of thunder; the new life brought by the thunder is like a magical key, opening the door to their growth.

The seeds greedily absorbed the moisture and nutrients from the soil, striving to grow upwards in the dark mud. They broke through the hard soil layer, revealing their new shoots.

Beneath the giant tree destroyed by lightning, the charred remains of the fallen tree gave more life a chance to sprout anew.

Various fungi and mosses gradually grew on their branches, providing habitats for insects and small animals. Birds built nests in the fallen trees, and squirrels darted and leaped among the branches and leaves. The entire forest became more vibrant because of the "destruction" of the thunder.

Various strange phenomena appeared before Li Si.

Li Si thus gained a deeper understanding of the rules of the [Thunder] world.

Hey~
[Your legendary domain, Thunder, has been upgraded!]
[Legendary Domain [Thunder] - 13% → 15%!]
Hey~
[Your legendary domain, Thunder, has been upgraded!]
[Legendary Domain [Thunder] - 26% → 29%!]
Hey~
[Your legendary domain, Thunder, has been upgraded!]
[Legendary Domain [Thunder] - 64% → 66%!] —
The system notifications kept ringing in Li Si's ears, but he didn't notice them because he was completely absorbed in comprehending the wonderful feeling brought about by the Thunder Rules.

The more Li Si comprehended, the more he felt the power of the rules contained within the world rune [Thunder].

No wonder even gods would fight over the World Runes.

This represents the most essential manifestation of a certain aspect of the world rules in the Gaia world.

While obtaining the World Rune doesn't guarantee immediate divine status and godhood, it significantly reduces the difficulties encountered.

After all, comprehending the rules of the world is a vague and unattainable thing for most humans.

Not to mention gaining recognition from the Gaia world and successfully consolidating divine authority.

After understanding these things, Li Si became even more focused.

This is an extremely rare opportunity, and he can't afford to miss it!
While comprehending the rules of thunder, Li Si also materialized his understanding of the rules of thunder in his mind, attempting to construct new arcane arts.

Every now and then, Li Si would create new clones and use newly created arcane arts to enter the Thunder Sea.

However, most of the time, the new protective arcane spells are no match for the endless lightning of hell, and the clones will shatter as a result.

As Li Si's understanding of the [Thunder] rules deepened, the newly created protective arcane spells became increasingly powerful.

Each time he ventured deeper into the Thunder Sea, he went further and further.

However, every time they faced that pale blue lightning, just like before, they had no chance to resist.

However, Li Si was not in a hurry.

He knew that the pale blue lightning and the surrounding silvery-white lightning were not products of the same level at all.

To gain the ability to resist the pale blue lightning, Li Si needs to have a deeper understanding of the rules of lightning and master higher-level rules of lightning.

Li Si remained calm and showed no anxiety.

Regardless of the fact that the battle between the churches of the gods and the followers of the evil gods had reached a fever pitch, and regardless of how many times the floating city of Kane had repelled attacks by the followers of the evil gods.

He was completely absorbed in comprehending the rules of [Thunder].

As Li Si gained insights and practiced copying, he mastered more and more broken patterns.

The originally unrelated patterns were gradually filled in by Li Si.

Gradually, an extremely complex rune appeared in the void in front of Li Si.

The runes, drawn with only a little magic and without any power, seemed to have lightning flowing within them, and faint thunderous sounds echoed around them.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Li Si finally stood up.

Looking at the distant Thunder Sea with some regret, Li Si shook his head slightly.

The runes in front of him had already covered about half of the outer edge, but Li Si could no longer continue.

This wasn't because Li Si was incapable of drawing or comprehending more runes, but rather because there were only so many broken patterns around the pale blue orb.

Moreover, Li Si had already memorized them all. As for the more complete world rune [Thunder], Li Si would only have the opportunity to explore it after obtaining that pale blue orb.

However, for Li Si now, the gains have already been substantial.

His understanding of the rules of [Thunder] has reached an exaggerated level that he never dared to imagine before.

Legendary Domain [Thunder] - 100% (Upgradeable)

This is a notification that appears on Li Si's system panel.

For Li Si, his understanding of the [Thunder] rules has been elevated to the pinnacle of the legendary realm.

And next, we'll move on to the next phase!

Knowing a great deal about this, Li Si understood that the next step for the [Thunder] domain was to embark on the path to godhood, transforming it into the [prototype of divine office].

This means that Li Si has already qualified to touch the path to godhood!
If this news gets out, I wonder how many people will be extremely shocked and find it hard to believe.

It's important to understand how difficult it is to improve one's understanding of the rules after achieving legendary status.

Otherwise, so many legends wouldn't spend their entire lives unable to reach the path to godhood.

But Li Si has only been at the legendary level for a few years, and he's already on the path to godhood?
This is unimaginable for most legends.

Although Li Si was pleased, he did not become arrogant.

The qualification to embark on the path to godhood is ultimately just a qualification!

This does not mean that Li Si will be able to become a god.

Moreover, Li Si has only condensed the [prototype of a divine office]. He still has a long way to go before he can successfully ignite the divine fire and ascend to the divine throne.

Although Li Si did not intend to embark on the path to godhood before he was fully prepared, the improvement in the realm of rules would still greatly help his strength.

Moreover, as Li Si's understanding of the world's rules improves, the bonus he receives in the [Wisdom] field will also increase.

Let those who get rich first help those who are still poor!

However, although Li Si gained a lot, he did not forget the purpose of his trip.

While the insights gained from the Thunder Rules were certainly gratifying, the World Runes were even more captivating to Li Si.

If Li Si could obtain the world rune [Thunder], it would be equivalent to obtaining a Thunder Rule comprehension accelerator.

Moreover, this world rune also contains extremely terrifying power.

From any perspective, Li Si cannot afford to miss this World Rune.

When Li Si made a breakthrough in his understanding of the Thunder Rules, he finally succeeded in creating a new protective arcane spell.

[Li Si's Resonance Lightning Control Technique]!
After using this legendary arcane spell, a faint flash of electricity appeared on Li Si's body before he returned to calm, with no other unusual phenomena.

This time, Li Si didn't even use the Sage's Robe and walked directly into the Thunder Sea.

After the endless silver-white lightning struck, Li Si's body seemed to merge with the surrounding lightning.

At this moment, Li Si seemed to have become part of the thunder in this sea of ​​thunder.

Countless bolts of lightning surged into his body, and then surged out of him.

Li Si felt a slight sense of relief upon witnessing this scene.

It really works!
Li Si's newly created Resonance Thunder Control Technique allows his body to resonate with the surrounding thunder, preventing the thunder from harming his body.

However, there are prerequisites.

First, this protective arcane spell only works against lightning attacks; it has no effect on other types of attacks.

Another point is that this protective spell can only allow Li Si to resonate with those whose rank is lower than his [Thunder] rule comprehension.

If the power and rank of the lightning exceed Li Si's tolerance limit, Li Si will not be immune to the damage from the lightning.

It now seems that the silvery-white lightning poses no threat to Li Si.

However, Li Si did not relax.

What comes next is the highlight.

The pale blue lightning that roamed around those world runes was the greatest threat Li Si faced.

Without hesitation, Li Si headed straight for the core area of ​​the Thunder Sea.

Just moments after Li Si entered the core area, when he was only about a hundred meters away from the pale blue orb.

Li Si noticed a flash of pale blue light on his right, and a terrifying bolt of lightning instantly struck him.

His body tensed instantly, but he didn't make any other movements.

The pale blue lightning bolt, like a winding electric snake, instantly surged into his body.

"Sigh~"

Li Si gasped.

The feeling was as if a fire serpent had instantly merged into my body, or as if I had ingested a large amount of magical potion.

A terrifying energy instantly coursed through his body, and this uncontrollable feeling made Li Si quite uncomfortable.

However, Li Si forcibly suppressed this strange feeling.

A moment later, the pale blue lightning surged from his left arm and disappeared into the sea of ​​lightning.

Only then did Li Si finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although there was still some discomfort, it also meant that [Li Si's Resonance Lightning Control Technique] could indeed resist that pale blue lightning.

Thus, the final obstacle to obtaining that World Rune was also overcome by Li Si.

All that's left is to get close to that pale blue gem!

Li Si was no longer worried and endured the strange feeling in his body as he moved towards the World Rune.

As they got closer to the world rune, the number of pale blue lightning bolts increased.

However, apart from causing Li Si some physical discomfort, the pale blue lightning did not cause any other abnormalities.

Instead, bathed in this lightning, Li Si's depleted magic power was rapidly recovering.

Good heavens, this has truly become a perpetual motion machine!

Li Si smiled self-deprecatingly, then all his attention was drawn to the pale blue jewel in front of him.

Is this the World Rune?

Li Si looked at the pale blue pearl so close to him and couldn't help but reach out to grasp it.

The instant he touched the pale blue orb, an extremely frenzied and resentful voice roared into Li Si's mind.
"Lanassis, you damned traitor!!!"

"Mother, why did you do this?!"
