Chapter 788: Chapter 492: Divine Power Gift Pack!_2

The runes interwove with each other like a complex maze, resembling the pattern of life veins, and it seemed as though one could feel a subtle power surging beneath their feet, as if the entire palace was breathing with gentle tremors.

The source of all the special runes was an odd pool located right at the center of the palace, shimmering with seven-colored light. The contents of the pool seemed to be not liquid but a weave of intertwining seven-colored light, radiating extremely powerful fluctuations.

Above the pool, every now and then, a seven-colored droplet formed out of thin air, drifting down leisurely, touching the surface of the water lightly, and creating delicate ripples and glimmers of light.

Following Adela, Lis’s gaze was immediately captured by the special runes and the seven-colored pool within the palace.

Lis was certain that these special runes were not Magic Runes used by mages but Divine Runes designed to channel Divine Power!

In his past life, Lis had seen similar patterns in many dilapidated temples, but none as numerous as in this place.

Moreover, Divine Runes were always located in the most crucial core areas of a temple, and he had not expected Adela to bring him here.

The ends of the Divine Runes on the ground and walls seemed to penetrate into the void, connecting to some unknown place.

Thinking that Elf Land was concealed by the Divine Power of the Elf Gods, this temple could very well be the heart of Elf Land!

If the Divine Runes had surprised Lis, then the seven-colored pool in the center of the temple was an absolute shock to him.

Lis knew what the seven-colored droplet in the pool was, he had encountered it before.

Divine Power!

Back on the Pearl Sea, Lis had obtained Divine Power on a Divine Island, which had provided him the opportunity to master an Extraordinary Domain.

But the god named Ansel who had fallen a long time ago had left behind very little Divine Power.

That could not compare to the abundance of Divine Power stored within this seven-colored pool!

Adela turned to Lis and said softly,

“You can understand what this is, right?”

“Divine Power?”

Lis did not hold back this time and replied softly.

“Yes.”

Adela affirmed:

“You’ve already noticed upon entering Elf Land that this space is guarded by All Gods.”

“What I am showing you is my Lord’s legacy and the foundation of Elf Land.”

“What I was referring to earlier, was this.”

Lis was somewhat at a loss for words; he now understood what Adela meant by her help.

What could be a greater aid on the Path to Divinity than the legacy of the gods?

Divine Status and Divine Position were beyond reach for him who had not yet set foot on the Path to Divinity, thus what remained was Divine Power.

Lis had encountered Divine Power before, but to have so much as to fill an entire pool was rather exaggerated, wasn’t it?

However, in the temple on Ansel’s island, there was also a pool, which contained merely some clear water with a breath of Divine Power, sparingly preserved within a Divine Statue, discovered inadvertently by Lis.

And the Divine Power in this Elf Temple exceeded that from the previous time by hundreds, if not thousands of times.

Perhaps only a God System like the Elf God System could store such vast amounts of Divine Power in a special place like Elf Land.

“Go ahead.”

Adela said to Lis with a smile:

“Don’t worry, I’ll be watching over you.”

“… Alright.”

With things having come this far, Lis naturally would not refuse.

Although Uncle Joyce had reminded him not to rashly touch Divine Power before reaching Legendary Level,

Lis was not sure whether the Divine Power in front of him was pure Divine Power with the influence of the divine will removed, but with Elf Great Sage Adela watching over him, there likely wouldn’t be any problems.

If Adela wanted to kill Lis, it would be quite easy; there was no need for such elaborate arrangements.

Lis did not hesitate and slowly walked towards the seven-colored pool.

He stepped into the pool without undressing and slowly sat down.

At first, the seven-colored light in the pool continuously avoided Lis’s body, but after he had sat down, Adela began to gradually release control, allowing Lis to come into contact with the Divine Power in the pool.

In an instant, Lis felt as if a terrifying pressure strong enough to crush him struck him without warning.

To be honest, Lis could already feel the immense pressure from the overwhelming Divine Power when approaching the pool, but it was only after his body touched the Divine Power that he truly felt the overwhelming force.

Lis gritted his teeth, resisting the horrific impact as the Divine Power entered his body.

With so much Divine Power, if it hadn’t been for Adela controlling it at his side, Lis might have been immediately annihilated.

Compared to his time on Ansel’s Divine Island, Lis’s strength had increased manifold, but correspondingly, the intensity of the Divine Power he faced this time was even more terrifying.

Adela seemed to sense the limit of Lis’s endurance and skillfully controlled the Divine Power entering his body to stay within Lis’s tolerance threshold.

This undoubtedly was a better way to stimulate the potential within Lis’s body.

However, it also meant that the pain Lis experienced was much more exaggerated.

After enduring the first wave of pain, a new system notification appeared before Lis.

———–

While absorbing Divine Power to strengthen his body, Lis’s consciousness had already plunged into darkness, with all his attention devoted to the absorption of Divine Power.

Fortunately, the Divine Power he was absorbing now was extremely pure, free of any residual divine will.

Although Lis couldn’t attain Divinity again simply through this method, the pressure he endured was significantly less.

Even though it was his first time absorbing Divine Power to enhance his body, Lis vaguely understood that the longer he persisted, the more benefits he could gain.

Adela sat by the edge of the Seven-colored Pool, her eyes fixed intently on Lis, while her pure white feet dipped into the water, creating ripples of seven-colored waves.

The temple had fallen into silence, with only Lis’s body trembling faintly in the Seven-colored Pool.

“Hm?”

Just then, Adela noticed a point of light suddenly shining on Lis.

It was a special earring on Lis’s left ear, emitting a faint light while, to Adela’s notice, also slowly absorbing the surrounding Divine Power.

“A Divine Artifact? A Half-God Artifact?”

“No, neither, it’s just a piece of Legendary Level Equipment?”

Surprised, Adela murmured to herself while looking at the earring.

As an Elf Great Sage, there were few things that could astonish her.

But a piece of Legendary Equipment capable of absorbing Divine Power was extremely rare, as the ability to absorb and utilize Divine Power was a trait exclusive to Divine Artifacts.

Even a Half-God Artifact could barely manage to do so.

And the speed at which this earring absorbed Divine Power was quite exaggerated!

“Interesting, consider it an extra boon for you!”

A slight smile appeared on Adela’s face, and without any intention of stopping it, she softly spoke to the unconscious Lis.

Divine Power was precious, but context matters.

The Elf Royal Court also possessed Divine Power left by the Elf Gods, yet it was still destroyed by the Demon King.

Adela shook her head slightly as she watched Lis, absorbed in thought while soaking in the Seven-colored Pool.

Hopefully, her choice was not mistaken…
