I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic

Pearl Clan,

After Belian had prepared the faith altars for each of Klaus's tribes, Lysander spent a few days touring all the Pearl Seafolk tribes.

On the one hand, it was to display the legendary power of the Fishman Klaus and plant seeds of awe in the hearts of the fishmen.

On the other hand, it was also to plant Lysander's spiritual imprint in the prepared faith altars, connecting each faith altar to Lysander.

The faith altar is a place where the fishmen tribes pray and make sacrifices, somewhat similar to the function of human churches.

In the entire Fishman tribe, only the Coral tribe has a church of the Goddess of the Sea, and the Fishman Klaus's act of building a faith altar was not opposed by the Church of the Goddess of the Sea.

For the Church of the Goddess of the Sea, they would not interfere with the internal beliefs of the fishmen unless there were special circumstances.

As long as no other church wanted to interfere with the faith of the fishmen tribes, it was fine.

Lysander even made a special trip to the Church of the Goddess of the Sea to meet with the bishop of the Church of the Goddess of the Sea.

To Lysander's surprise, the bishop of the Church of the Goddess of the Sea stationed in the Fishman tribe was a fishman priest.

However, Lysander quickly understood why this was the case.

Other churches of the gods also had this situation; even among the churches of the gods, the competition between believers was still fierce.

Human gods would also develop believers from other races, and in order to develop faith more smoothly, they would also recruit people from other races to join the church and become clergy.

At the same time, clergy from other races could also spread the faith to their own people more smoothly.

When visiting the church of the Goddess of the Sea, Lysander also noticed some special fishman god statues.

According to the introduction of the fishman bishop, Lysander learned that these god statues were all gods of the fishman race who had joined the pantheon of the Goddess of the Sea after becoming gods, becoming subordinate gods of the Goddess of the Sea.

However, these fishman gods were all beings of weak divine power, and the domains of divine authority they held were not powerful, so Lysander did not know about these situations before.

Too many gods appeared in the later stages of the previous version, and countless gods of weak and minor levels had fallen.

However, Lysander now knew why the Church of the Goddess of the Sea would support the fishman legend to embark on the path of godhood, not minding him taking away the faith of the fishman tribes.

If he really succeeded in becoming a god, the fishman gods would basically join the pantheon of the Goddess of the Sea, which would also be a good thing for the Goddess of the Sea.

After dealing with the affairs of the other tribes, Lysander went to see O'Neill to敲打一下 (a light warning), then returned to the Pearl Clan.

Lysander was about to officially begin trying to cultivate his own totem spirit.

Totem spirits are basically the power of faith of the tribe, transformed according to the wishes of the tribe's people, and basically have no obvious intelligence, acting on instinct to protect the groups that enshrine them.

Because of the particularity of totem spirits, their external manifestations are related to the tribes that enshrine them, but there is no fixed form, and the powers they possess are also strange and varied, but basically related to the expectations of the tribe's people.

If the power of faith that Lysander collected from the fishman tribes were used directly to cultivate totem spirits, it would basically be similar to the totem spirits that O'Neill had mastered before, basically in the form of sea beasts.

Similarly, it is possible that because the power of faith is directed at Klaus, the form of the generated totem spirit will be related to him.

But that would be meaningless to Lysander.

Even a legendary-level totem spirit would not be of much help to Lysander, not to mention that it would consume a considerable amount of Lysander's energy and time.

He did not want to cultivate a totem spirit of the fishman tribe, but to cultivate a special clone that could carry the virtual elemental godhead, explore the path to godhood for him, and be completely controlled by him.

The reason why totem spirits have such different manifestations is that the power of faith generated by the believers' prayers to Lysander will be mixed with many "impurities."

These "impurities" may be the wishes, troubles, etc. of the believers, but these will affect Lysander's use of the power of faith.

According to Lysander's understanding, to purify the impurities in the power of faith, at least one would need to condense a godhead and use the godhead to temper it to eliminate the impurities in the power of faith.

Even so, there may still be impurities left, unless divine fire is used to temper the power of faith into divine power.

That is too far away for Lysander now.

However, now that Lysander has mastered the priest profession's basic expertise [Chaos Faith Collection], he has no worries in this regard.

However, although Lysander was very curious, there were too many secrets to the power of faith for him now, and it was not something that Lysander could figure out now.

After countless uses of totem possession, Lysander's understanding of totem spirits has reached a very high level.

After all, with the "delicious" power of chaos faith, the totem spirits are quite close to Lysander.

Even if Lysander returns these totem spirits to O'Neill in the future, as long as Lysander beckons, these totem spirits will stick to him like begging puppies.

I don't know what O'Neill would think if he knew about Lysander's NTR behavior.

The preparations were all done, and the rest was to officially begin cultivating Lysander's exclusive totem spirit.

Before coming to the fishman tribe, Lysander did not have no harvest of the power of faith.

One aspect of this was the power of chaos faith automatically absorbed by the expertise [Chaos Faith Collection], and the other aspect was the people who believed in Lysander.

Although Lysander did not cultivate believers and establish a faith system in the territory in order to cover people's eyes, there would be some people who spontaneously believed in Lysander more or less.

However, after obtaining the faith of the Pearl Seafolk tribe, the amount of faith power that Lysander could obtain increased greatly.

If the power of faith harvested before was a trickle, then now it is a gurgling stream.

However, as the amount of faith power obtained increased, Lysander was also affected by the power of faith.

Although [Chaos Faith Collection] helped him purify the power of faith he obtained, there would still be impurities affecting his spirit.

Although this does not affect Lysander yet, if the power of faith increases indefinitely, he will face this trouble sooner or later.

No wonder so many legends on the path to godhood descend into madness. Even with the willpower of a legend, it's hard to resist the faith from countless people, right?

Before finding a solution, Li Si decided not to expand the scale of his believers for now.

Anyway, the faith of the merman tribe is enough for him to conduct research on the Godhood Ascension Technique. He can take his time with the rest.

For Li Si, taking each step steadily is more important than moving quickly.

In the very center of the merman tribe, a newly built altar stands tall.

The altar is entirely carved from bluestone, with an ancient and sacred aura surrounding it. In the center of the altar, a tall statue is striking, which is the avatar of the merman legend [Raging Tide] Klaus.

This statue uses bluestone as its base, vividly displaying Klaus's image. His posture is upright, his muscle lines are distinct, and the statue tightly grips a long knife in one hand, as if it can gleam with a cold light even in the sunlight, as if it could leap out at any moment.

Although it is a newly built altar, mermen from the Pearl Clan have been coming to worship, offering fresh seafood around the altar, or chanting ancient hymns, to express their endless worship and awe for the hero who saved the Pearl Clan.

Li Si sits in front of the statue on the altar, and the visiting mermen can't detect Li Si's existence at all.

The Klaus statues on the altar were all made by Li Si himself, just like the idols enshrined in the churches of the gods. The bluestone statues in each merman tribe's altar contain Li Si's power.

Putting aside everything else, the effect of shocking the merman's heart is quite good.

With the mobilization of Li Si's magic power, a figure identical to Li Si appeared in front of him.

Legendary Arcane Spell [Li Si's Totem Avatar]!

This is an exclusive arcane spell created by Li Si based on the special skill [Mirror Image]. Although it doesn't have too strong combat power, its biggest advantage is that it can be maintained for a very long time. At the same time, Li Si specifically enhanced the plasticity and adaptability of this avatar based on the characteristics of the Totem Spirit.

Everything is ready, let's start!

Under Li Si's careful control, the power of chaotic faith slowly flowed from Li Si's body into the Totem Avatar.

As the power of chaotic faith continued to fill, the Totem Avatar also began to show a illusory light gray color, which is a characteristic of the power of chaotic faith.

The beginning is always the hardest. Li Si was highly concentrated when performing this step.

The current Totem Avatar has just begun to bear the power of chaotic faith. If he is not careful, the avatar may collapse directly due to the excessive power.

Crack~

At this moment, the right arm of the avatar suddenly shattered, and instantly cracks spread throughout the entire avatar.

Seeing this, Li Si did not continue to persist, but directly dispelled the Totem Avatar.

"It's a bit too hasty, the speed should be slower."

"The physical strength of the avatar seems to need to be strengthened again, let's see how the effect is."

Li Si quickly analyzed the failed experience just now, without any frustration.

In arcane research, failure is commonplace, not to mention that Li Si is trying to integrate arcane spells and the power of faith. It is quite normal to encounter any trouble in this process.

It just takes a little more time.

However, the good news is that even if the attempt fails, most of the power of chaotic faith can be recovered by Li Si, which greatly reduces the loss of the experiment.

Otherwise, with Li Si's current wealth, he wouldn't be able to try it a few times at all.

Time passed day by day,

During these days, Li Si has been staying on the altar to integrate the Totem Avatar with the power of chaotic faith.

After experiencing countless failures, Li Si finally opened his eyes, looked at the light gray avatar sitting in front of him, and said with some emotion:

"Finally succeeded, it's really not easy!"

Li Si's previous assumptions were too simple, and he somewhat underestimated the difficulty involved.

In the process of integrating the Totem Avatar with the power of chaotic faith, there were quite a few troubles encountered.

The most critical thing is the essential difference in power between the two, which makes the Totem Avatar and the power of chaotic faith separate from each other like water and oil, making it difficult to integrate into one.

Even if they are barely integrated under Li Si's control, they will return to their previous state as long as Li Si releases control.

This won't work. What Li Si wants to do is to cultivate a Totem Spirit that belongs exclusively to him, not a time bomb.

However, Li Si finally found the trick, using part of the knowledge of condensing the virtual elemental godhood from the [Sphinx Godhood Ascension Technique], to completely integrate the Totem Avatar and the power of chaotic faith together.

Looking at the light gray avatar in front of him, Li Si's sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.

Let's try it out first.

The current Totem Avatar has not yet truly become a Totem Spirit after merging with the power of chaotic faith.

Totem Spirits are not just transcendent beings who control the power of faith, they also represent the power of a certain characteristic.

And neither the previous Totem Avatar nor the power of chaotic faith had any characteristic manifestation.

The Totem Avatar after the fusion is more like a blank sheet of paper, waiting for Li Si to paint on it.

Li Si pondered for a moment and put the demigod godhood he had obtained into the Totem Avatar.

Since it is a try, it must start little by little.

Li Si now has two godhoods, one is the virtual elemental godhood from the Sphinx, and the other is the demigod godhood from [Death Lamenter] Ivan Walter.

Li Si is still unable to separate the virtual elemental godhood from [Sphinx's Wisdom], and this is also an important medium that Li Si intends to carry with him to learn the [Sphinx Godhood Ascension Technique].

It's better to put the demigod godhood of [Death Lamenter] Ivan Walter into the Totem Avatar first.

Anyway, this can be changed at any time.

Moreover, after obtaining the demigod godhood of [Death Lamenter] Ivan Walter, Li Si's [Undead] domain has also been upgraded to the level of a legendary domain, and he has enough ability to start controlling the power of this godhood.

After this demigod godhood entered the Totem Avatar, the light gray avatar began to be stained with a pale white color, and a desolate and gloomy feeling slowly emanated from the Totem Avatar.

Under Li Si's control, the demigod godhood, as the core of the Totem Avatar, began to continuously absorb the power of chaotic faith to nurture and strengthen the avatar.

Li Si found that with this godhood, he saved a lot of effort.

But thinking that in order to obtain this godhood, Li Si directly faced the pursuit of Demogorgon, it is better not to have this kind of experience again.
