I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 876 The Birth of a Demigod Beast

Three days later, Kane's Floating City,
Li Si let out a long sigh and lazily lay down on the soft bed.

He gently rubbed the sleeping Tayya beside him.

These past two days, Tayya has had quite a bit of "hard work".

Previously, Taiya, with her legendary warrior's powerful physique, was able to "hold her own" against Li Si.

Sometimes, the Atayal can even gain a slight advantage.

But this time, Taiya was surprised to find that she had no chance to struggle against Li Si at all.

They could only obediently be "kneaded and flattened" by Li Si.

At first, Tayya tried to struggle a bit, but she soon realized it was no use.

Taiya had no choice but to lie down and enjoy Li Si's service.

Li Si waved his hand, and the slightly damp, crumpled sheets and blankets on the bed were instantly cleaned and covered with Taiya.

The air in the room was clean and fresh, and pleasant to the touch.

At this moment, Taiya lay quietly beside Li Si, completely overwhelmed by exhaustion, and fell into a deep sleep.

Her long, flowing red hair was casually scattered on the pillow, with a few strands playfully clinging to her cheeks, further accentuating her perfect face.

Her skin was as white as snow, but she was covered in sweat from the previous activity. Fine beads of sweat slid down her graceful neck and disappeared into the thin white blanket.

A lingering blush remained on her cheeks, like peach blossoms in full bloom in spring, delicate and alluring, making one want to gently touch them.

Beneath her small, straight nose were rosy lips, slightly pouting, giving her a touch of girlish charm.

Her delicate body was partially covered by a thin white blanket, appearing and disappearing intermittently, adding to her mysterious charm.

Seeing this, Li Si couldn't resist bending down and kissing her red lips again.

"I'm not coming."

In her drowsy state, Tayya murmured a few words and pitifully hugged the thin blanket to her chest.

"what"

Li Si felt a slight smile to himself.

Although they can still mount horses and wield spears, it's best not to overexert the Atayal people.

Next time, next time!
Wearing a light blue robe, Li Si went to the balcony of the room.

A cool breeze caressed my body, taking away some of the lingering fatigue.

After relieving the stress of this period, Li Si began to think about what to do next.

This seclusion lasted for more than a year and a half.

Even the main storyline of version 4.0 has already passed by more than halfway.

There was no way around it. Although Li Si had made extremely thorough preparations before going into seclusion, and had the Sphinx Ascension Technique as a reference, he still failed countless times.

So many times that Li Si lost count.
However, Li Si did not feel any urgency during this process.

After all, they are pioneering a completely new path.

If he could succeed easily, Li Si would instead doubt whether he had made a mistake somewhere.

However, through countless failures, Li Si's understanding of the rules of the realm of wisdom and the realm of the gods became increasingly thorough.

It was on such a solid foundation that Li Si was able to create a unique and suitable method for ascending to godhood.

However, Li Si did not become arrogant or complacent because of this.

The [Lisden Divine Art] he created is, at best, only a half-finished product.

Currently, it can only help Li Si break through to the demigod realm, but the part that truly allows him to step into the realm of gods has not yet been perfected.

Li Si was not in a hurry about this; on the contrary, he was quite confident.

All beginnings are hard!

After that, you just need to gradually improve as your own strength increases.

While it may be challenging, it shouldn't be more difficult than taking the first step.

Similarly, Li Si would not be content to remain at the level of a demigod.

This level of strength places them among the very top tier in the Gaia Main World, so they have no reason to worry about their lives.

But Li Si's footsteps will not ultimately be confined to the Gaia world.

Be grounded in reality, but keep your sights on the future!
In order to perfect the Ascension Technique and break through to the demigod realm, Li Si exhausted all his previous accumulations.

Now Li Si needs to start accumulating the necessary resources to break through to the realm of gods!
With this in mind, Li Si summoned the newly acquired system module, [Ascending to Godhood].

This actually reflects the preparations Li Si needed to make to break through to the realm of gods.

These are, respectively, [Divine Power], [Divine Rank], [Divine Fire], [Divinity], and [Divine Duty] within the hierarchy of gods.

However, in reality, some of them are not people that Li Si can access at present.

Even becoming a demigod is the same.

Take the divine fire, for example; it can only be lit during the ascension ceremony.

The same applies to the clergy.

Successfully igniting the divine fire and consolidating divine authority are the most crucial parts of the ascension ceremony.

It is virtually impossible to do this before the ascension ceremony.

Therefore, for Li Si, the most practical thing to do is to prepare in advance and condense a state similar to the prototype of a virtual chaotic god.

However, Li Si is still unsure about the next step.

There were no other hints in this [Ascending the Divine Stairs] module, which left Li Si somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that he hasn't met the trigger conditions yet?
For now, we can only accumulate experience slowly and see how things go later?
Li Si calmed himself down.

Having just broken through to demigod status, it's unrealistic to expect to improve one's strength in a short period of time.

Therefore, for Li Si, it's best to deal with the current situation first.

Li Si gently tapped on the white railing of the balcony and said softly:
"Xiao Hei, retrieve the most important recent intelligence; I want to see it."

"The focus is on the situation related to the Church of the Gods and the followers of evil gods, as well as intelligence on the dungeon front."

"Know it!"

The black cat appeared before Li Si, wagged its tail, and said:
"You didn't even rest after we just came out; all you do is boss me around."

Even so, the black cat still retrieved the information Li Si wanted and displayed it on the magic screen in front of Li Si.

Is there anything else important?

As Li Si quickly flipped through the intelligence, he asked the black cat a question.

"There are quite a few important things to do."

The black cat scratched its head with its tail, paused, and then said:
"From the Pan-Continental Mage Association, the Kingdom of Fies, the Port of Danro, and the Elf Forest."

"However, I think what you care about is the situation in the dungeon."

"Of course, the most important reason is that the situation on the Dungeon Front has not been good recently."

The black cat's eyes lit up, and a brand new magic screen appeared in front of Li Si.

Li Si glanced at the information above and frowned slightly.

Judging from this, the situation on the side of the Allied Forces of the Church of Gods doesn't seem too good.
"Originally, the battle lines in the dungeons were quite deadlocked, with both sides winning and losing, and the battle lines did not change much within a year."

"But just before that, the allied forces suffered a great loss because of the schemes and tricks of the Abyss God."

"Several legends have even fallen." "If we're really talking about it, this has something to do with you, Li Si."

"Is it related to me?"

Li Si raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

He has been diligently secluded at home during this period and has not left Kane Floating City at all.

Where did this unwarranted accusation come from?

However, Li Si soon thought of another possibility.

"Could it be that the undead caused this problem?"

"Indeed it is."

The black cat licked its paws and then spoke.

"Three undead infiltrated the deepest part of a key dungeon, where they discovered terrifying monsters being nurtured by the evil gods using flesh and blood."

As the black cat spoke, a completely new scene appeared before Li Si.

The scene depicts a vast, empty space within an underground city, covered in a carpet of flesh and blood. A massive, dark red tumor is being nurtured amidst writhing fleshy growths and tentacles.

Within this enormous tumor, the form of a terrifying monster was almost fully formed.

"After receiving the information, the three undead chose to hand it over to the White Dove Merchant Guild."

"Based on the orders you left behind before you went into seclusion, Li Si, I gave those three undead people a sufficient reward and shared this information with the Allied Forces of the Church of the Gods."

"This image is a magical mark left by an elite team specially dispatched by the Allied Forces based on intelligence."

The black cat tapped the horrific tumor in the center of the image with its tail and continued:

"The Church of the Gods believes that what is being conceived within this giant tumor may be an abyssal beast whose strength has reached that of a demigod."

"Otherwise, so much flesh and blood and energy would not have been wasted."

"And the same horrific tumors were subsequently found in dungeons on other continents."

"Therefore, there are a total of eight demigod-level abyssal magical beasts that are currently being nurtured."

"What a grand gesture."

Li Si was stunned for a moment, then felt a headache coming on.

To be honest, this situation really gave him a headache.

As expected of the combined efforts of the Abyss Gods, it is truly remarkable.

In the current Gaia main world, demigods are already the most powerful beings.

Li Si had only just broken through to the demigod level.

And now, suddenly they tell him that the Abyss Evil God has produced eight of them.

The intensity of this struggle has increased significantly compared to the chaos caused by the [Philips Crystal].

"and then?"

Li Si simply ignored the intelligence report in front of him and instead looked at the black cat and asked.

"Then, the Church of the Gods will naturally try to stop the cultivation of these demigod-level abyssal beasts."

"To this end, the Church of the Gods has gathered a considerable amount of power, preparing to launch a simultaneous raid on eight dungeons, aiming to destroy all the demigod-level monster eggs in one go."

"It failed, didn't it?"

Li Si then asked.

If this plan succeeds, Black Cat won't say that the Church of Gods is currently at a disadvantage.

"We're halfway there."

The black cat shook its little paw and then said:

"For the rest, just look at this commemorative photo."

Immediately, a dynamic image appeared in front of Li Si.

This was a thrilling and bloody battle that unfolded deep within the underground city, a scene resembling the apocalypse, sending chills down one's spine.

The vast emptiness of the underground city now resembled a huge, dark prison.

In the center of this cage stands a very conspicuous blood-red tumor.

It's like a beating, evil heart, radiating an eerie and terrifying aura.

Within this tumor lurks an incredibly terrifying entity.

The aura was filled with madness and destruction, as if it wanted to completely devour everything around it.

The outside of the tumor was covered with a dense mass of flesh and tentacles that writhed wildly.

They tightly wrapped around the tumor, like a sturdy shield or a group of loyal guards, vowing to protect the nascent monster to the death.

The flesh and tentacles were a dark, deep red, as if they were soaked in blood, and they emitted a nauseating stench.

Around the central blood pool, countless abyssal monsters gathered together.

These abyssal beasts, each with a different form, surrounded the central blood pool like a black tide.

His eyes revealed a fierce and vigilant look, preventing any enemy from attacking the blood-red tumor.

Opposite the abyssal monsters was a well-organized battle formation composed of the allied forces of the Church of Gods.

Clad in heavy armor and wielding sharp swords, the warriors stood firmly at the forefront of the column, like mobile fortresses.

Their eyes revealed fearlessness and courage, ready to face the upcoming battle.

The priests, dressed in pristine white robes and holding staffs radiating holy light, silently cast buff spells on their comrades with compassion and steadfastness on their faces.

The hunters, dressed in light leather armor and carrying bows and arrows, lay in ambush on both sides of the group.

Their eyes were sharp as eagles, always ready to launch a fatal blow to the enemy.

The mages wore magnificent robes and brandished their magic wands, unleashing terrifying spells.

The exceptional professionals work together seamlessly, as if they were a tightly knit whole.

The warriors stood in the front line to withstand the attacks of the abyssal beasts, creating a safe environment for the priests, hunters, and mages in the back to cast spells.

The priests continuously treated the warriors' wounds and restored their strength.

This applies to hunters, mages, and other professions alike.

The war with the abyssal monsters over the past year has made them work together seamlessly.

Different divine magical lights flashed and intertwined in the air, like dazzling fireworks.

These divine radiances not only enhanced the allied forces' own condition, increasing their strength, speed, and defense, but also weakened the power of the abyssal beasts.

Some divine spells can briefly stun abyssal beasts, while others can reduce their defense.
When the two sides clashed, the battle instantly entered a heated phase.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and blood rained down, instantly transforming the place into a most tragic battlefield.

The abyssal beasts roared madly as they charged fearlessly toward the allied forces, attacking with their sharp claws and teeth in an attempt to tear through their defenses.

Meanwhile, the allied forces of the Church of Gods cooperated seamlessly, and with the enhancement of numerous divine spells, they showed no fear of the abyssal beasts.

They calmly responded to each attack, retaliating with weapons and magic.

As time went on, the battlefield slowly advanced toward the blood-red tumor.

The allied forces approached step by step, their eyes revealing unwavering determination to destroy this blood-red tumor that harbored a terrifying existence.
At this moment, Li Si noticed something was amiss.

Isn't there a bit too much blood on the battlefield right now?
