I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 57: 56 Future Direction

Chapter 57: Chapter 56 Future Direction

“`

Although there are still many unanswered questions, I feel that I am getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter.

Lis furrowed his brows, set aside his considerations about the Second Prince, and turned his attention to the improvent of his own strength.

Recently, having completed a Silver-Level extermination commission and coupled with the Experience Points awarded for triumphing over Camus beyond his own level, I have accumulated enough to raise my level to above 40.

This has exceeded my expectations, and it seems that before the Sacrificial Festival begins, I should be able to break through Level 50 and beco a Silver Mage.

Moreover, I have acquired many powerful Skills and specialties, and the planned Secret Treasure, Acacia’s Luck Brooch, has smoothly co into my possession.

...

By all rights, there shouldn’t be anything for to worry about now, should there?

But indeed there is one issue before , and it is crucial for my future.

That is the arcane subsystem!

As I develop more and more of my own exclusive arcane spells, I also gradually deepen my understanding of the entire arcane subsystem.

Lis is certain that his arcane subsystem, compared to what the players in my previous life had, has undergone significant changes.

In my previous life, players used the arcane subsystem more as a matter of luck, randomly adjusting the Magic Runes and Elental Particles in the Magic Model to cobble together new Magic Models.

One could say it involved no technical content at all; almost every new arcane spell was developed by sheer fluke.

But Lis discovered that the arcane subsystem he possessed was not the sa; could it be because he ca with it to the real “Divine Revelation” ga world?

In the past few tis he developed arcane spells, Lis distinctly felt that each Magic Model had its own intrinsic patterns, not as disorderly and haphazard without any internal logic as in his previous life.

When using the arcane subsystem, Lis felt as if he could truly perceive the characteristics of each Elental Particle: the explosiveness of the Fire Elent, the gentleness of the Water Elent, the agility of the Air Elent, and the solidity of the Earth Elent.

And within the Magic Model, Lis truly encountered the underlying logic of the Magic Models, where a slight touch from would arrange the Magic Runes and Elental Particles according to my will.

I also understood the source of power for each Magic Model.

Why is it that the Magic Model of the Fireball Technique can condense Fire Elents to form a fireball and attack the enemy?

How does the Magic Model of the Elental Shield combine the forces of Elental Particles to form a Shield that fends off enemy attacks?

Lis feels that only by understanding all the secrets does one truly master the power of each spell.

The affinity between different Elental Particles, why Magic Runes can better conduct Magic Power, and stimulate the characteristics of Elental Particles, and so on.

These are still only the most basic content; just the characteristics of the Four Basic Elents’ Particles and how to restrain them within the Magic Model are enough to give Lis a headache.

Not to ntion the higher levels of application, such as the compatibility issues of Magic Rune Sequences and Elental Particles in multi-elent combination spells, and how to leverage basic elents to manipulate the powers of higher special elents like Light Elent, Death Elent, Space Elent, and so forth.

These challenges make Lis feel as if he’s back in that hot, painful last sester of his senior year in high school, with a mountain of textbooks and revision materials piled up on the desk in front of him.

And there’s also a significant difference: in the ga world of my previous life, learning professional knowledge ant rely a change in character data for players, not really acquiring the knowledge of how to cast the Fireball Technique.

But for Lis, it’s different. When he obtained “Boba Ka’s Arcane Notebook,” he discovered that the related knowledge truly appeared in his mind.

However, there’s also a hidden danger: the knowledge that appears in my mind is simply rembered, not sothing I can use proficiently.

To give an analogy, suppose Lis had never encountered mathematics before.

Suddenly, the god of mathematics imparts the knowledge that 2×3=6 into Lis’s mind, and he rembers this fact.

If a problem 2×3=? is placed before Lis, he can imdiately give the answer 6.

But what if the problem changes to 3×2=?

Lis would hesitate for a mont before he can also give the answer 6.

The more complex the knowledge, the more difficult it becos to fully master it.

“`

Thus, Lis’s understanding of the magic knowledge within his mind was still superficial, a considerable distance from full comprehension.

For Mages, knowledge is power!

For Arcanists, knowledge is the source of life!

If Lis chose not to delve too deeply and rely pursued the use of corresponding spells, that wouldn’t be much of an issue.

But in the domain of the arcane, if Lis wanted to continue on this legendary path and do so more smoothly and for a greater distance, rely knowing was far from enough!

Now, Lis was presented with two choices:

The first option was, like those in his previous life who possessed an arcane subsystem, to try his luck and accidentally develop arcane knowledge.

The advantage was that he could make full use of the benefit of not needing to consu experience points and, like before, quickly improve his own strength and arcane level in a short period of ti.

The second path was to start from scratch, systematically mastering each bit of magical knowledge from the basics, gradually climbing towards the halls of knowledge.

This path would undoubtedly slow down his progress in the arcane initially, but it would make his journey steadier and more reliable, and also allow him to go further.

Damn, is there even a choice to make?

It must be the second path!

Lis wasn’t interested only in surviving the impending chaos but also in reaching the legendary realm that no player had ever touched in his past life.

Hard work? Tired? Boring and monotonous?

Nothing matters before the temptation of power!

Let’s do it!

Isn’t it just working my liver to its limit?

I,

Liver Emperor Lis,

am scared of that?

Bright City, Feis Street.

In a secluded alley, a nondescript two-story building stood quietly.

The only feature distinguishing this small building from the surroundings was its four-ter-high wall that encircled the premises tightly without a gate, as if hiding sothing.

In this alley, which was already rarely visited by passersby, people walking past the building unanimously ignored it, as if the building did not exist at all.

Suddenly, a person clad in a black cloak erged from a side alley, breaking the quiet of this deep lane.

The figure in black surveyed the surrounds and, after noticing no one getting close, quietly walked over to the side of the wall and tapped it lightly at a specific rhythm.

After a brief wait, ripples appeared on the surface of the wall facing the figure, and it slowly began to turn translucent.

The figure in black passed straight through the wall.

As the figure in black swiftly crossed the wall and entered the yard in front of the building, two silhouettes like shield walls appeared before him.

Two guards clad in gray armor and likely Silver Warriors, stood blocking his way.

Without a word, the guards simply watched the figure in black silently.

It seed that if a single word or motion were out of place, they would be ready to slay the figure on the spot.
