I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means - Chapter 342

Chapter 342: Chapter 299: The Legacy of a Fallen God?

Outside the cabin,

Lis and Evar stood in the somewhat narrow corridor, silent for a moment.

Evar’s gaze at Lis was serious, for it was the first time he had shared such an important secret with someone else.

Had it not been for Lis’s display of great power when controlling everyone on the ship, along with his evident familiarity with the ocean, Evar would not have confessed.

For Evar, that small island was not just a place where he had survived; it was also the source of his unique abilities.

Over the years, Evar had fared quite well in Dan Port by relying on this ability, which was why he had been hired by Captain Loren.

He constantly longed to return to that small island.

He had become much more powerful than before, and if he could enter that palace again, perhaps he could gain even greater power?

That was also why Evar had not left Dan Port.

Lately, he sometimes ventured to that sea area alone, and sometimes he passed by with other ships, but he never found the small island again.

After exhausting all possibilities, Evar finally realized his own limitations and thought of seeking help from others.

However, Evar didn’t dare to seek out the major powers in Dan Port, knowing well that with his abilities, it was very likely that these powers would completely exploit him, and the best scenario would be to receive a minimal reward from their hands.

Thus, he could only rely on the help of external strong figures.

Go to

Evar’s hire on the “Mermaid” wasn’t without this consideration.

But it was after meeting Lis that he finally made up his mind.

Most importantly, the cargo on the “Mermaid” was quite valuable, and under Lis’s control where no one on the whole ship could resist him, he had no other intents but effortlessly handled those troublesome Sirens.

Evar was indeed reassured by Lis’s actions.

That’s why Evar rushed to approach him first.

Upon hearing this, Lis fell silent for a moment.

He wasn’t hesitating about whether to take up the request, rather, he was wondering if there was such a storyline in his past life?

After another moment of silence, having confirmed no similar impression, Lis asked,

“Are you sure that was the island from the Mirage?”

“Could your memory be mistaken?”

Facing Lis’s inquiry, Evar shook his head firmly and said,

“No, it was all too real. I acquired these special abilities on that island, something akin to the divine arts of the ocean deities, though I’m not sure what exactly it is. But, I certainly didn’t possess it before then.”

“Such as foreseeing the weather, breathing underwater, controlling water currents, and so on.”

To gain Lis’s trust, Evar did not hide anything and even briefly introduced his abilities.

“Also, because of this ability, I can clearly remember the exact location where I woke up.”

“I searched that entire sea area later and checked the nautical chart, but there is definitely no island in the sea there.”

“I see…”

Lis thought for a while. The situation Evar had encountered seemed quite mysterious, and by his demeanor, it indeed seemed to be his real experience.

If so, an island within the Mirage?

Lis preferred to believe it existed in a Different Plane or in the crevices of dimensions, not actually within the Sea Teeth World, nor was it merely a Mirage.

Just like the relics in Snow Ridge Town, like the Sphinx Temple.

“Is there no other intelligence on this?”

“If it’s just this, it’s basically very difficult to make any progress.”

Lis shook his head and said, unable to disguise his slight interest.

Evar fell silent for a while, then continued:

“Although I have never seen the island again, I’m sure it was there.”

“Every time I pass by that area, my body reacts, as if something is calling me.”

This was also why Evar firmly believed that finding the island could enhance the special power he possessed.

“Oh?”

Lis became even more interested now. There was this detail?

The credibility of this follow-up information just increased significantly.

Lis had previously sensed the peculiarities in Evar,

it was an aura of Divine Power from the Lord of Storm!

Could that mysterious island be a remnant of the Lord of Storm?

Frankly, if it truly was a remnant of that deity, Lis was rather disinterested.

The dangers associated with a deity still seated in the high divine positions might not necessarily be lower than those from the remnants of fallen deities.

The most crucial aspect was, if it indeed was an act of the Lord of Storm, then that place was undoubtedly still under the deity’s watchful eyes, making it easy for the Lord of Storm to notice him.

Lis did not hope for that.

As Lis pondered, he suddenly noticed a decisive detail.

If the island belonged to the Lord of Storm, how could Evar still be standing here?

If Lis could sense the Divine Power of the Lord of Storm emanating from him, wouldn’t the members of the Storm Church feel it too?

Even if the Lord of Storm didn’t care about a mere ‘ant’ like Evar entering his courtyard, would the Servants of God ignore it?

It’s known that port cities are vigorously contested by divine positions related to the Ocean and the Divine Church.

There is a chapel of the Storm Church in Dan Port.

Could it be…

The faint aura of the [Storm] Divine Position that Lis felt from Evar had led him to speculate it was from the Lord of Storm.

The [Storm] Divine Domain is currently only mastered by the Lord of Storm, as can be inferred from the name of this deity, which is his core divine position.

As a being close to powerful divine strength, the might of the Lord of Storm is unquestionable.
