The great alchemist Lorin Stant's arrival, along with his alchemical knowledge and extraordinary technology, benefited Li Xiaowa and the other members of the Divine Clan immensely.
It was especially helpful for several projects she was researching.
Likewise, the Divine Clan's vast ocean of scientific and technological knowledge enthralled Lorin Stant, immersing him in a sea of knowledge.
Moreover, he could finally research gods, even if they were only evil gods.
Li Xiaowa also offered him some advice on increasing his own strength.
She gave him Mayi's Divine Kingdom Ascension Method and her own Divine Clan Method for reference.
Apart from the Divine Kingdom Method requiring the power of faith, there was little difference in strength between the two.
It was always the person, not the method, that created a difference in strength.
She also told Luolin about ascending to godhood through faith and the shortcomings of the power of faith.
Although Mayi's Divine Kingdom Ascension Method went a step beyond the Divine Clan's former Divine Core Method, using a divine kingdom to suppress all negative energy.
It merely greatly delayed the eruption of those hidden dangers, however. Like a more sophisticated bomb, it still carried the risk of exploding.
It had to be said that the divine kingdom's design was indeed ingenious; even Li Xiaowa found it deeply inspiring.
But his ascension would still depend on him.
With Li Xiaowa's guidance, Lorin Stant naturally would no longer use the power of faith to ascend to godhood.
He could sense that the goddess before him bore not the slightest trace of the power of faith.
Nor did he want to ascend through the Divine Clan Method. He lacked the Divine Clan's unique constitution and could not use it anyway.
He was not a member of the Human Race descended from Earth.
