Transcendent Dawn

“She didn’t strike?”

Su Lu stared into the sky.

He had only let Isaac and his dog perform just now, while he himself had been monitoring this space, guarding against Lady Moon making an embodied descent at any moment.

If that were the case, he could even gain an upper hand by saving his energy.

Even if he hadn’t been discovered at first, when he began channeling the power of the ritual into Hallock, Lady Moon would have definitely detected his presence.

Yet, she just silently watched as his ritual failed and her followers died.

‘Wait… During the last Deification War in the Empire, Lady Moon only acted in the Realm of All Spirits and didn’t really enter the Main World… Could it be that for some reason, she cannot enter?’.

‘No… or should I say… she’s afraid?’

‘This is the Federation, could she have suffered at the hands of the Lady of Radiance before? And at this moment… the Lady of Radiance’s incarnation is possibly still in the Federation…’

He tore through the void, stepping into the third layer of the Dream Spirit World.

As expected, at the edge of the Main World and The Realm of All Spirits, he spotted the pale girl in a black robe.

Su Lu looked at Lady Moon, saluted, and smiled.

“Lady Moon… we’re even, now.”

Last time you destroyed one of my incarnations, this time I’ve sabotaged your ritual and seized some of your power. We’re even!

“I will witness your death…”

Lady Moon gazed deeply at Su Lu once, then disappeared.

“Gods do engage in tough talk…”

Somewhat speechless, Su Lu exited the Dream Spirit World and returned to the Red River Gorge.

…

The Black Dead Followers scattered and fled, while Isaac was busy rescuing the children.

Sean was followed by walking corpses created by Polon, looking up at the sky, lost in thought.

“Woof woof!”

At this point, Hallock, who was atop the black pyramid, had finally processed Su Lu’s ‘gift’, morphing back into his black and white Erha form.

However, there was now an extra dog’s head on either side of its neck. The three heads looked at each other, all bearing ‘surprised’ expressions.

“Woof!”

“Woof Woof!”

“Woof Woof Woof!”

“Hallock… you’ve turned into a three-headed dog?”

Isaac blurted out in disbelief.

“Yes… yes, master!” The middle head answered.

“Stupid dog, who told you to call him master? We are his masters… Have you forgotten the days when we used to make him our dog slave?”

The left head quickly retorted.

“No… humans and dogs are equals, no one is anyone’s master, we should all get along…” The right dog head began to voice a different opinion.

“My God… A dog with a split-personality disorder!”

Sean, careless of his stargazing posture, exclaimed in awe: “Dude… You are really funny… really creative.”

“It wasn’t me…”

Issac could only weakly deny it.

Just then, he saw ‘Sean’, played by Su Lu, stepping out of the void and immediately rushed up to him. “Sean, my dog!”

“Ah, it’s a normal phenomena. The minor personality split is due to the shock of receiving so much power… It’ll adapt to it, or… maybe find a psychiatrist for it?”

Su Lu shrugged.

“Taking a dog to see a psychiatrist… I’d be considered insane… moreover… a three-headed dog…”

Isaac squatted down holding his head, looking like he had lost all hope.

“Hi… friend, your name happens to be Sean too? Thanks for your help.”

At this time, Sean advanced with long strides while Polon followed, step by step.

Seeing Isaac jumping in surprise and hiding behind Erha, he awkwardly explained, “Polon… he’s dead, but he’s still somewhat useful to me.”

The blood sacrifice of a [Necromancer King] is only part of the ceremony of ascending to the [Emperor of Disaster].

There is still much left to be prepared.

He is not like Polon, who already prayed for Lady Moon’s favor, and could directly ascend.

Of course, now Lady Moon’s grace has been ‘intercepted’ by Su Lu and was given to Hallock.

“But… who are you?”

Sean stared at Su Lu, inexplicably perplexed: “You’re not the White Eagle Guardian, but I feel that we’re very familiar…”

“It’s me.”

Su Lu touched his face and resumed his appearance as Su Lu Pottery.

“Su Lu!”

A surge of excitement showed on Sean’s face as he stepped forward and gave Su Lu a big hug. “It’s you! I knew it… brothers from the same dormitory are indeed reliable.”

“You… You…”

Isaac backed up a few steps, staring at Su Lu’s face, “Su Lu Pottery? The Federation’s most talented Sixth Order? The once most wanted criminal of the Goddess Church?”.

Apparently, he had seen the wanted order issued by the Goddess Church back then.

“So… you’re a Sixth Order legendary occupational person?”

A look of enlightenment spread across Isaac’s face. He seemed to find a reasonable explanation as to why Su Lu could counteract the ritual previously—this was his misjudgment on the premise that his knowledge of the mystical arts wasn’t advanced enough to know just how terrifying that ritual truly was.

“Yes… I’m sorry for using a fake identity before. So… you can take care of the rest. I’ve got some matters to discuss with Sean…”

Su Lu smiled, pointed at the unconscious children, and teleported away with Sean.

“Su Lu Pottery… Today, I actually met a real living legend and myth?”

Isaac felt that he could brag about this for years.

But just at this moment, he saw the eager expressions on Hallock’s two heads at his side and couldn’t help but let out a howl. “Hallock… control yourselves… please!”

…

Inside a private booth in a bar in a certain city.

The waiter brought over the local flavor of cocktails. The colorful drink divided into layers, exuding a tempting aroma.

He bowed and quickly left.

“To long-lost reunions, cheers!”

Sean lifted his glass, finished his drink, and continued: “And to our genius…che…”

“Cough cough… you’re still the same, liking alcohol and excitement.”

Su Lu coughed a bit, realizing that Sean didn’t yet know his true identity.

‘Ah… the top brass of the Goddess Church should be able to get the information through the Lady of Radiance, but they didn’t spread it… Apart from potentially attracting enmity from a god, there are no other benefits, and that Pope is a smart man, he wouldn’t do that.’

‘So… currently, in the eyes of most people in the Federation, my identity is still the same as after I was promoted to the Sixth Order [Wandering Mage], being wanted by the church’s Religious Tribunal, that is, the Theology Department?’

Indeed, being able to ascend to the Fifth Order, the Sixth Order in such a short time, then breaking through the church’s extermination, was already a shocking event for the Mysterious Realm.

Up till now, his fame still widely circulated within the higher circles of the Federation.

Thinking about this, Su Lu couldn’t help but relax quite a lot and began to look at Sean as a friend from the past.
