I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 1705 - 933: Helen’s Troubles (2)

Not to mention other transcendental forces.Even those ocean exotic races living in the Treasure Pearl Sea keep their distance upon seeing the symbols of the Kane Floating City and Danerluo Port.

Helen also had no intention of provoking other forces, so over time, sailing simply became a way to relax.

This time, Helen was drifting through the Treasure Pearl Sea aboard the "Hurricane" because of her own bottleneck frustrations.

Standing on the ship’s headland, Helen felt the cool, salty sea breeze and recalled her encounter with Bishop Candice of the Ocean Church.

She had met the Ocean Church bishop a few times in Danerluo Port before.

However, at that time, Candice had no special attitude towards her and was quite kind and courteous.

But Helen was also aware that when Lis first arrived at Danerluo Port, this bishop was not so good-tempered.

After suffering several significant losses at the hands of the teacher, she changed.

Since then, the relationship between the two parties had eased.

The teacher didn’t mind this.

After all, the Church of the Ocean Goddess still held a significant position in the minds of coastal residents.

Although the style was somewhat direct and strong, the Church of the Ocean Goddess was also part of the True God Church.

Lis had a good relationship with the Church of all Gods, gradually leading to more mutual cooperation.

Of course, Helen never really cared about these matters.

However, for some reason, after she broke through to the Golden Rank, Bishop Candice’s attitude towards her suddenly warmed.

Every time, she would try to draw Helen in by introducing the greatness and benevolence of the Ocean Goddess, as if she was persuading her to join the church.

However, Helen had no interest in this situation.

Where was this Ocean Goddess when she was wandering the streets?

If Helen really had to believe in an entity, she would probably believe in Lis, her teacher.

Compared to the elusive divine beings, the teacher was undeniably more real and approachable.

Gradually, Helen also guessed why Bishop Candice was so enthusiastic towards her.

Perhaps it was because after breaking through to the Golden Rank, her "Sea Favored" talent displayed even more powerful abilities.

Bishop Candice must have noticed this situation, hence her attempt to win her over, right?

But Helen had no interest in the so-called Church of the Ocean Goddess and always rejected Candice’s proposals.

Candice never gave up; whenever she saw Helen, she would grasp her tightly.

Determined not to rest until she achieved her goal.

Despite this, Candice’s attitude was always good, gifting her precious presents every time they met.

Therefore, Helen merely avoided this bishop as much as she could.

However, just yesterday when departing from Danerluo Port, Candice sought Helen out once again.

...

"My dear Helen, don’t run!"

Candice grabbed hold of Helen, who was trying to escape, and said with a smile.

"Bishop Candice, I really didn’t notice you."

Seeing this, Helen smiled bitterly.

Having been caught, she gave up on the idea of escaping.

After all, Candice’s strength was quite formidable, at least stronger than hers.

"Haha, I already know what you’re thinking."

Candice said with a laugh, understanding why Helen avoided her.

But as the Ocean Goddess is above, she had no malicious intentions.

Helen’s talent was truly suited to inheriting the legacy of the Ocean Goddess Church; otherwise, Candice wouldn’t be so persistent.

Moreover, Candice believed that joining the Ocean Goddess Church would be beneficial for Helen.

After all, with Helen’s strong talent, she would surely receive substantial cultivation from the church.

Surpassing her as a regional bishop in the future would be a breeze.

Helen’s "Sea Favored" talent convinced Candice that no other Divine Church would be more suited for her than the Ocean Goddess Church.

Helen sighed and said:

"Bishop Candice, I really have things to do."

"About joining the Ocean Goddess Church, why don’t you discuss it with my teacher?"

"If Teacher Lis agrees, then I have no objections."

"Haha, no need to bother that esteemed figure with such matters."

Hearing the name, Candice subconsciously clenched her fist and hurriedly said.

From the first meeting with Lis, he left a deep impression on her.

Since then, Candice never harbored any thoughts of revenge.

The reason was simple: Lis had soared to such terrifying strength.

She found it hard to imagine that the once somewhat immature youth had become a formidable Demigod.

Even within the Ocean Goddess Church, there was only one such existence.

Not to mention competing with Lis for disciples, Candice now hoped Lis would forget her quickly.

"Let’s not talk about this."

Candice quickly changed the subject, saying:

"Helen, have you reached a bottleneck now?"

"At this stage, no matter how much effort you put in, it will only slowly enhance your strength."

"To achieve a breakthrough, you must aim for the legendary, and the first step is to master the Transcendent Domain."

Looking at Helen seriously, Candice said:

"If you join the Ocean Goddess Church, I promise you can receive the church’s Deep Sea Blessing baptism."

"With your talent, mastering the Transcendent Domain is undeniably possible, and you might even master a powerful Domain like the ’Ocean’."

"So, what do you think? Do you need some time to consider?"

"Hmm?"

Helen was a bit surprised; she didn’t expect Candice to directly offer such substantial benefits.

Noticing Helen’s hesitation, Candice smiled and said:

"No rush, think it over and come see me when you’re ready."

"Anyway, the promise of the Ocean Goddess Church remains valid."

With that, Candice took her leave.

Helen was still troubled by Candice’s proposal.

In truth, it wouldn’t be harmful to Helen.

Many people had joined the Ocean Goddess Church, most being Light believers.

In this regard, Candice hadn’t demanded much.

Which meant Helen could easily drop everything and leave whenever she wished.

But...

Helen still maintained an aura of reverence in her heart towards divine beings and their churches.

Who knew whether, after accepting that Deep Sea Blessing baptism, she might be brainwashed into a fanatic of the Ocean Goddess.

Such tales weren’t rare in Minstrel stories.

Of course, if Candice knew Helen’s thoughts, she would cry injustice.

Sure, the Ocean Goddess Church could do that; it wasn’t as if similar events hadn’t occurred before.

But Helen, your worry might be unnecessary here.

Who dares to brainwash you directly while pretending Lis doesn’t exist?

For the Church of all Gods, Lis’ emergence had given them a considerable advantage in their contest with Evil God believers.

As a World Tree Favored himself, Lis was a figure that any transcendental force with some insight would earnestly strive to win over.

Even the Ocean Goddess Church wouldn’t resort to such means.

After all, gaining an extra legend ultimately holds little significance.

Offending Lis would unquestionably have higher costs.

"Forget it, I won’t think about it."

Helen shook her head, relieved as she gazed at the azure ocean before her.

"I’ll just ask the teacher when he isn’t busy; he surely has lots of experience in this regard."

With this thought, Helen stopped worrying.

But at this moment, Helen suddenly sensed something and looked towards the East.

Though the front appeared calm, with her "Sea Favored" talent, Helen could detect an incredibly strong force disturbing the sea not far in the East.

This power was unmistakably legendary.

Yet the legendary aura felt particularly unfamiliar to Helen.

Something’s wrong!

In the Pearl Sea Region, how could there be a legendary existence unknown to Kane Floating City?

Realizing this, Helen dared not delay and immediately steered the "Hurricane" towards the East.

Soon, the turbulent ocean unfolded before Helen.

And in the center of that troubled sea, a colossal fishman figure appeared.
