I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 965 - 579 Temple and White Elephant_2

Since Lis is destined never to become a devout believer of any Divine, to enhance his priest profession abilities without restrictions, he cannot choose those specialties that strengthen the Divine Arts bestowed by a Divine, such as [Devout Faith], [Holy Soul] and other priest specialties.

The most suitable for Lis are those specialties that can strengthen the ability to independently cast Divine Arts.

Although such specialties are rare, they do exist.

For instance, the talent of shaman professionals in some primitive tribes, they can use the power of the holy spirits worshipped by the tribe to release abilities similar to Divine Arts.

This shaman professional ability seems quite suitable for Lis, who says that the worshipped holy spirit must be an inanimate object, couldn't it be himself?

Lis possesses the legacy of the [Sphinx Ascension Technique], his ambition does not merely stop at the Legendary Rank.

A higher Divine Throne is his goal!

Therefore, Lis still hopes to master the basic priest profession specialties, which might be greatly beneficial to his future direction.

Otherwise, choosing the basic profession specialties of a Minstrel with Charm as the main attribute would not provide such an advantage.

Lis shook his head, after confirming his plan again, he walked towards the steps of the temple in front.

This time, with the buff of the independently cast Divine Art [Enhance Resistance], Lis did not suffer the repelling force again.

Lis slowly climbed towards the Azus Temple, gradually the magnificent temple appeared before Lis.

He also felt the pressure emanating from the temple in front of him, a majesty originating from a supreme existence.

When Lis stepped on the final step and stood in front of the temple, the pure white doors at the center of the temple slowly opened before him.

The rumbling sound echoed in this quiet world, like countless passing times crashing into the waves of the river of years, giving Lis a feeling of sacredness and grandeur.

Just as Lis was about to enter the temple, an unusual sound came from within the temple.

Dong~ Dong~

Lis could feel the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly, as if the footsteps of a giant creature were continuously approaching.

What is this?

Lis was a bit surprised, the players on the forums in the past life hadn't mentioned such a situation?

Could it be that a special existence that always resided in the Azus Temple left after the temple was first opened?

That too could make sense because when the temple was discovered back then, the player couldn't enter the temple because they weren't a priest professional and were killed by Holan.

The situation when the temple was first opened was unknown to the players.

Lis took out the magic wand and held it in his hand, watchfully looking at the darkness beyond the temple doors.

As the footsteps approached, that special existence finally appeared before Lis.

In this solemn and mysterious temple, an unprecedentedly large white elephant slowly stepped out.

Its appearance seemed to be the materialization of Divine Power, towering at an astonishing height of ten meters, its enormous body nearly filled the entire entrance of the temple. The skin of this white elephant was not ordinary white but was as warm and flawless as the finest white jade, with every inch softly shimmering in the gentle light, emitting specks of warm and holy radiance that illuminated everything around.

The tusks were long and graceful, gently curving forward like two arcs of guardianship, not only displaying the beauty of strength but also adding a touch of mercy and holy aura. Those deep eyes seemed to contain endless wisdom, capable of seeing into the deepest thoughts of the human heart.

The appearance of this white elephant seemed like a holy messenger walked out from ancient mythology, making the atmosphere of the entire temple extremely solemn and peaceful, with an indescribable sense of sacredness permeating the air.

Lis looked at the sacred white elephant in front of him, somewhat surprised.

The white elephant seemed to be enveloped in the same power as the temple, blocking his exploration.

And although he did not feel any malice from this white elephant, he could also sense the immense power contained within it.

Being able to appear here, the white elephant seems to have quite a close connection with the Fantasy and Knowledge God Azus.

In many places, white elephants are symbols of wisdom and intelligence, and its presence in the temple of the Fantasy and Knowledge God Azus seems plausible.

"Outsider, for what reason have you come to My Lord's temple?"

The long trunk of the white elephant curled slightly, Lis's figure reflected in its eyes, and a grand voice sounded in Lis's ears.

"Seeking more knowledge."

Lis was not surprised and calmly replied.

The appearance of a white elephant capable of normal communication in the Azus Temple is not surprising, so is this white elephant the Guardian of this temple?

Then why did it later disappear, was it killed by intruders?

Lis expressed doubt about this; with the strength of those adventurers, not to mention killing this white elephant, it would be difficult even to scratch its skin, right?

At least Lis himself did not have the confidence to deal with this white elephant.

"Unexpectedly, even after so long, someone still remembers My Lord's temple."

The white elephant looked at Lis, a hint of a smile appearing in its eyes.

"Though so much time has passed, My Lord left behind the rules for this place."

"If one wishes to take knowledge from here, one must leave equal extraordinary knowledge."

"This is an exchange of equivalence, not a grant from My Lord."

"On the long journey of exploring knowledge, My Lord is merely a forerunner."

The voice of the white elephant sounded in Lis's ears, and Lis nodded in agreement.

The Fantasy and Knowledge God Azus is quite a unique Divine, this Divine and his subordinate church are not fond of disputes but are instead eager to pursue knowledge, explore the unknown.

In the Church of the Gods, this is also quite a special existence.

He is one of the very few who treats those below the Divine equally; as long as the knowledge or wisdom possessed gains his approval, he would bestow Divine Power protection.

He and His church are dedicated to acquiring more knowledge, and legend has it that His Divine Country is a tremendously vast library, housing the extraordinary knowledge accumulated over countless ages.

Then, the white elephant indicated for Lis to follow behind him and walked into the temple.

Seeing this, Lis also spoke no more, directly following behind the white elephant.

Entering this temple felt like crossing the boundaries of time and space, entering an ancient yet timeless space.

As Lis ventured deeper, the temple originally dormant in darkness seemed awakened by an invisible force, gradually, gentle and bright rays of light descended from the temple's dome, like fine and soft silk gently covering every corner.

These light bands not only dispelled the darkness but also adorned the entire temple with a mysterious and solemn radiance.

Pure and flawless stone bricks formed the foundation of the temple, smooth as a mirror reflecting the surrounding light, making the whole space brighter and more transparent. Each step felt as if one could sense a purity and sanctity from ancient times, and the soul was thus purified.

In the center of the temple, countless steles were neatly arranged, varying in height and form, but each exuded a unique aura, some embodying warm and bright power, others exuding dark and sinister energy. These steles, engraved with Divine Arts knowledge, seemed eternally guarded by some power, untouched by the dust of time.

Here, time seemed to have lost its sense of passing, everything remained as it was, with no aging, no decay.

The air was filled with a light fragrance, a tranquility, and harmony settled by time, causing Lis to unconsciously slow his steps, somewhat immersed in this transcendent tranquility beyond the mundane.
