I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 1548 - 862: Demogorgon’s Temptation

Endless Abyss, Mysterious Plane,

Faced with the terrifying entity’s inquiry, Stephens, sitting in the center, opened his eyes.

He glanced at the existence lingering in the mist, shook his head slightly, and said with a hint of taunt:

"Demogorgon, when did a great existence like you want to cooperate with ?"

"You clearly know this is impossible."

Demogorgon paused, his tone devoid of any fluctuation, and said:

"Indeed, but any matter has its exceptions, doesn’t it?"

"Just like I never imagined my plan would be disrupted by a mage who hasn’t even reached the level of legend..."

"Just like clearly you’ve entered the Endless Abyss, yet I’m still powerless against you..."

"So I think you are qualified to cooperate with ."

"Nothing is eternally unchanged, isn’t it?"

"Well, keep thinking about it then."

Stephens shook his head, saying no more.

Faced with this terrifying Demon Prince, Stephens decided not to say much.

Besides great strength, Demogorgon is extrely adept at enticing others into corruption.

From this perspective, he seems less like a demon and more like a sly, cunning devil.

He often unknowingly sets up countless pieces, waiting for them to grow secretly, ultimately bringing the result Demogorgon wants.

Thus he is considered a maverick among Abyss Lords, most feared and guarded against by the Order Camp.

Stephens is quite confident in himself but not to the point of arrogance.

If he truly didn’t need to mind Demogorgon, he wouldn’t be trapped here.

After learning from Lis that Demogorgon has hidden setups in Gaia World, Stephens began secretly searching and uprooting Demogorgon’s dark pawns.

Indeed, Demogorgon’s setups are quite concealed, but Stephens has his special thods,

Thinking back now, it should have been from then that he got noticed by Demogorgon.

However, Stephens also didn’t expect this Demon Prince to be so patient.

Through a seemingly ordinary dark pawn, a trap was set to directly trap him here.

If not for the special Magic Wand in his hand, "Gaia’s Fury," Stephens would certainly have been done for.

Even so, Stephens has no way to escape from here.

He can only hope that the setups he made in advance will serve their purpose...

Though the situation is quite bad, Stephens has no regrets.

Actively uprooting Demogorgon’s setups was sothing he was willing to do.

If not for that, this "Gaia’s Fury" wouldn’t have appeared in his hand and be under his control.

"Haha, don’t be so sure."

Demogorgon’s voice echoed again, seemingly indifferent to Stephens’ attitude.

"Although compared to other ants, your life has lasted a relatively long ti, but compared to us, you are no different from a baby."

"You’ve only stayed here for a few years, saying such things is too early."

"Stay here for hundreds or even thousands of years, I believe you’ll change your mind."

"Also, even if you can hold out, how long can this annoying little thing stay by your side?"

"Gaia Guardian, why sacrifice yourself for this?"

Demogorgon’s voice seed filled with endless temptation, carrying a convincing tone.

Nonetheless, Stephens gave no response to Demogorgon’s persuasion, closing his eyes as if ignoring it.

Seeing this, Demogorgon chuckled and did not continue persuading, his massive body vanishing from the mist.

No problem!

He is very patient.

At least, after controlling Stephens, the Gaia Guardian, no one else should interfere with his plans.

...

Danerluo Port,

Compared to before, the number of players in Danerluo Port has decreased significantly.

Of course, this is not because the players chose to leave.

After preparing for the opening of the 4.0 mainline version, players went into the Underground City to start the war missions against abyssal monsters.

In fact, the incident’s impact on Danerluo Port is not significant.

Before going into retreat, Lis already set up the spatial passage from Danerluo Port to various underground cities on the Fanor Continent.

Moreover, the Church of the Gods also unanimously chose Danerluo Port as their logistics focal point across various fronts on the Fanor Continent.

One aspect, during the chaos caused by the "Phillips Crystal," Danerluo Port stood out as the most stable among the three locations where "Phillips Crystal" descended, building a solid foundation.

At the sa ti, Danerluo Port has undergone long-term trade operations, with a significant reserve of extraordinary materials.

Furthermore, also due to the unique identity and status of Lis, the Lord of Danerluo Port.

Although in the fight against evil god believers and Abyss Evil God, the Church of the Gods would join forces to confront.

But likewise, there is not a total absence of conflict between the churches.

In this scenario, the new World Tree Favored Lis and his territory are undoubtedly a suitable middle ground.

Otherwise, the Church of the Gods would not lack locations with more abundant guardian power and resources; they wouldn’t have to choose Danerluo Port as the most vital material consolidation and rest point on the Fanor Continent.

This is the friendship and tacit understanding forged from Lis’ long-term cooperation with the Church of the Gods.

And Danerluo Port becoming the rear base for the Underground City frontline brings obvious benefits to Lis,
