I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 765 The Changed Future
Kane's Floating City, Li Si's Magic Workshop
Li Si was in the magic workshop continuing his previous research.

His true form is still in the land of elves, perusing the historical records of the elven race, unwilling to let any book slip by.

Li Si, located in the floating city of Kane, is actually his life clone.

Because of the unique nature of this clone, it has the highest compatibility with the power of Chaos Faith among all the clones.

Therefore, Li Si left this clone in Kane's floating city and tried to improve the Sphinx Ascension Technique through various methods.

At that moment, Li Si slightly raised his head.

He noticed a familiar presence approaching outside the magic workshop.

There aren't many people in Kane's floating city who know the location of his workshop and are able to come here; each one is someone Li Si can trust.

Li Si immediately dissipated the magic in his hand, temporarily halting his magical research, and flashed away from the magic workshop.

Lisa arrived around the core tower of Kane's floating city. The legendary elemental golems guarding the tower only glanced down at her before returning to standby mode.

Lisa didn't knock on the door, but waited quietly there.

She knew that Li Si would definitely notice her arrival.

Whenever Li Si conducts magical research, Lisa would stop what she was doing and help Li Si look after the Kane Floating City.

She is also the person with the highest management authority over the Kane Floating City, besides Li Si.

Lisa wouldn't bother Li Si with ordinary matters; she would handle them herself.

However, today's visitor is somewhat special, and Lisa feels it would be better for Li Si to come forward.

Before long, Lisa's eyes lit up as Li Si appeared in front of her.

"What's wrong, Lisa?"

Li Si smiled and ruffled Risa's hair, then asked with a smile.

"Yes, Li Si."

Lisa was already used to Li Si's habit, and with a soft hum, she continued:

"Two guests have arrived, and they both want to see you."

"One is Bishop Morris, and the other is Aurelion."

"Ok?"

"Why did they get here at this time?"

Li Si was slightly taken aback and asked with some surprise:

"Did you come together?"

Bishop Morris of the Church of Dawn and Li Si were already quite familiar with each other, as Li Si had previously represented the Church of Dawn in Port Danro.

Morris had previously helped Li Si when he was attacked.

At the same time, Maurice also served as a bridge between Lis and the Church of the Gods.

However, when the [Philips Crystal] mutation occurred recently, Morris, as a powerful member of the Church of Dawn, could not stand idly by and led the Church of Dawn's team into the small world.

Li Si also checked it at the time, so everything should have gone smoothly.

Why did you suddenly leave the small world and return to Danro Port?

Could something have happened at the Church of the Gods?

As for Aurelion, this legendary mage, the Stargazer, was Li Si's collaborator in the Pancontinental Mage Guild.

He once represented the Pan-Continental Mage Association in an attempt to win over Li Si.

However, it is clear that the Pan-Continental Mage Association does not care about a legendary mage who has just broken through and is still "naive".

Their objective is the floating city of Kane, which is controlled by Li Si.

For this reason, they were even willing to make Li Si the fourth speaker of the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

However, Li Si rejected the deal.

The so-called fourth speaker is just a fancy name.

If he really agrees, it will be very difficult for Li Si to refuse the Pan-Continental Mage Association's interference in the affairs of Kane's Floating City.

However, relatively speaking, Li Si was more interested in the Pan-Continental Mage Association.

Besides the precious magical knowledge controlled by the Pancontinental Mage Association, the elite mages and various resources under the association's command are also of great use to Li Si.

However, after reaching an agreement with Aurelion, the Star Ring School, they also sent many excellent mages to Cain's floating city.

Through this collaboration, the Star Ring School granted its subordinate mages access to the "extremely valuable" research resource of the floating city, while Li Si gained a large number of high-level mages who worked for him for free.

Furthermore, in order to cooperate with Li Si, the Star Ring even agreed to regularly provide Li Si with a large amount of magical resources.

There was nothing they could do; the two floating city slots for the association were so sought after.

If Li Si wanted to, he could cooperate with any school of thought in the Pan-Continental Mage Association, so why did he have to choose the Ring of Stars?

Therefore, Aurelion is quite enthusiastic about this collaboration.

Aurelion felt he had made a good deal, while Li Si naturally made a huge profit.

In any case, in order to maintain the normal operation of the floating city, Li Si originally planned to recruit a large number of mages.

Now that a sucker has come knocking on our door, it would be a disservice to Li Si, the "harvester of leeks," not to fleece him.

However, the cooperation between the two sides had been going smoothly before, so why did Aurelion suddenly show up?
"They didn't come together."

Lisa shook her head and continued:

"However, Bishop Morris didn't look too good."

"That's it"

Li Si pondered for a moment, then made a decision:

"Let's go see Maurice first."

In the reception room,

Maurice gently picked up the glass of wine in front of him and took a sip, his expression somewhat solemn.

Just then, Li Si suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.

Looking at Maurice, Li Si smiled and said:

“Bishop Morris, this is the first time I’ve seen you so serious.”

"What happened?"

"Could something have happened to the small world of the evil god's followers?"

In response to Li Si's question, Maurice nodded with a wry smile:

"You guessed right, that's exactly it."

"So, what went wrong?"

Li Si sat down opposite Maurice, his expression becoming somewhat more serious.

After he handed over the relevant information to the Church of the Gods and the Elf Kingdom, strictly speaking, there was almost nothing he could interfere with.

Even if he has a special status, he cannot interfere in the other party's internal affairs.

It makes no difference even if the other party is the Elf Kingdom.

Moreover, in Li Si's view, as long as the Church of the Gods does not make any major mistakes, there should be no unexpected events, right?

In the previous life, during the "Philips Crystal" incident, the Church of the Gods and the cultists of the evil god were locked in a prolonged and undecided battle.

There's no reason why the Church of the Gods would collapse so quickly, given the intelligence he provided.

In response to Li Si's question, Maurice sighed and said:

"Actually, the attack on those small worlds occupied by the followers of the evil god went quite smoothly, especially after we specifically chose our targets."

"We have successfully occupied the vast majority of the small worlds, and the followers of those evil gods suffered heavy casualties due to being caught off guard."

“However, we didn’t expect that even after carefully selecting the target, an accident still occurred.” Looking at Morris’s expression, Li Si’s mind raced.

Does this mean that the followers of evil gods have overturned the table?
Aside from this situation, Li Si could not think of any other possibility that would cause the Church of the Gods to fail in its attack on those smaller worlds.

They've used sacred artifacts or semi-divine artifacts?
A demigod has made a move?
Or perhaps, the gods couldn't resist taking action?
Li Si shook his head slightly.

This situation was noticed during previous discussions with the Church of the Gods.

After all, although the small world chosen as the target of attack is not the most important and crucial small world for the followers of the evil god, the possibility of powerful beings or powerful means cannot be ruled out.

Therefore, the Church of the Gods also has specific countermeasures in response to this situation.

As for the third possibility, there's really no way to answer that.

After all, that is an existence above the level of gods, which is beyond Li Si's current comprehension.

However, Li Si also felt that those evil gods shouldn't have made a move so easily.

Even when the churches of the gods and the followers of evil gods were in such a state of anxiety, the beings of divine rank never intervened.

But now it seems that the situation has changed.

Noticing Li Si's gaze, Maurice nodded and said:

"That's right, we didn't expect that a god would actually intervene."

"In the small world of Frozen Dawn, which was occupied by the followers of the Goddess of Winter, the clergy of the Church of the God of Suffering were about to take over that small world when the Goddess of Winter, Oryul, intervened directly."

"He destroyed that little world, even his followers!"

"If it weren't for the timely intervention of the God of Suffering, the church's clergy might have been completely wiped out."

Call ~
Li Si made a statement in one breath.

Since they actually made a move, that's a different story.

Prior to this, Li Si did not have much knowledge of the gods in a strictly speaking sense.

After all, in their previous lives, players were mostly involved in major events within the Gaia world, rarely dealing with conflicts above the level of gods.

At most, we can obtain clues from the Church of the Gods and summarize and analyze them.

After Li Si had read through the historical records of the Elven race, he discovered that the relationship between the gods was not so simple.

Or rather, the contradictions and conflicts accumulated over millions of years are truly quite complex.

For example, the Church of the True God; Li Si's cooperation with them was quite pleasant.

But in reality, the conflicts between orthodox churches are no less than those between false gods.

The reason why Li Si, or rather the players feel that the Church of the True Gods seems more reliable is partly because the Church of the True Gods truly believes in the existence of gods and will spontaneously restrain its own behavior in order to spread its faith.

On the other hand, players are more likely to encounter the human pantheon within the Church of the True Gods.

With the alliance of the powerful deities Losanda, the god of dawn, and Samya, the goddess of the earth, the gods of humanity remained quite united.

However, the Gaia world is not only populated by gods from human pantheons.

The Church of the True God also has gods from many races, such as elves, beastmen, and dwarves.

The conflicts and hatred between different races may be no less intense than those between evil gods and abyss lords.

For example, the gods of elves and dwarves dislike each other and have many conflicts.

But elves and orc gods are true mortal enemies.

However, under the threat of the evil god and the abyss lord, both are on the side of the lawful orthodox gods, and they barely manage to refrain from attacking each other.

There are many more cases like this.

For example, in the human pantheon, almost all the gods of other races harbor considerable hostility towards the human pantheon.

The Orcs are the most numerous among them.

The reason for this situation is that the human pantheon, as the final victor of the last era's wave, possesses the strongest human gods, who are composed of two powerful deities and many middling deities.

Therefore, the human race occupied most of the habitable territories of the Gaia world continent.

The gods have an unspoken understanding with each other and will not directly target the followers of other gods.

Every church of God is nurtured and developed by the gods with great difficulty, and it is also the most important way to gain faith.

Even for opposing gods, targeting the other's followers is seen by the gods as a last resort to overturn the table.

The consequences of a complete falling out are something no one can afford.

If all the believers of a god in the Gaia world were killed, then even if there were supplicants in the god's kingdom, they would not be able to hold out for long before they perished.

Now, although the actions of the goddess of winter, Euryl, have not brought about serious consequences, the price of breaking the tacit agreement will not disappear.

It's no wonder he's a god of chaos.

Even if they're not demons, sometimes you really don't know what they're thinking; they always manage to pull off some amazing feat.
With this incident, the last vestiges of trust among the gods are now shaky.

In particular, neither the Church of the Gods nor collaborators like Li Si wanted to become a direct target of divine attacks.

I need to keep a low profile for a while!

Li Si made a decision in his heart.

"Then what happens next?"

Li Si looked at Maurice and asked in a deep voice.

"Even though this happened, we still have to keep doing what we're supposed to do."

"Otherwise, all the previous efforts will be wasted."

"Our Lord has already issued a divine decree that He will pay attention to this matter."

"As far as I know, other churches have similar situations."

Morris's expression turned somewhat grave, and he then looked at Li Si and said:

"The reason I came here specifically to find you is to tell you about this."

"You need to be extra careful during this time."

"As a chosen one of the World Tree, you have already attracted the attention of many evil gods, and it is possible that they will take this opportunity to make a direct move."

"Even with the protection of the elven gods, it is still a very dangerous matter."

After a pause, Morris continued:

"Therefore, do not leave the Gaia world recently, and it is best not to leave Kane Floating City."

"I understand, thank you for letting me know."

Li Si nodded to Maurice in thanks.

If Maurice hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that such a thing had happened.

This didn't happen in his previous life, so this might be a chain reaction caused by his deliberate change.

Li Si had no regrets; who could have predicted the certainty of the future?
However, Li Si paid even more attention.

Going to the small world at this point would likely cause problems.

He didn't want to face a mad god!

Thankfully, I've already obtained the [Thunder] World Rune.

Li Si had no plans to enter the small world in the short term, so he decided to take this time to enrich himself and build up his knowledge.

After informing Li Si, Maurice left quickly.

As the archbishop of the Church of Dawn, he has been quite busy lately.

Li Si also went to see the second guest who arrived.

Aurelion smiled and said the moment he saw Li Si:

"Li Si, the Speaker requests your presence at the Pan-Continental Mage Association!"
