Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 544: Chapter 0544: Change (9600 supplementary, requesting monthly ticket)

“The erosion of the Spirit World… it’s getting more serious.”

Watching Bai Ling’s retreating figure, Su Lu smirked.

Knowing that this girl might betray him, he was not in a rush. He could just bide his time and reel in his net at a leisurely pace.

Unexpectedly, after arranging the ‘Spirit Communication Array’ across the entire Secret Realm, the speed of the Spirit World’s erosion would be so fast.

‘The reason for this… is because it was originally a Secret Realm. Its mysterious nature is quite high, and it doesn’t have the resistance to the Spirit World like regular cities…’

Su Lu immediately figured out the reason.

If he hadn’t intentionally arranged enchanting runes around the student and staff dormitories, these teachers and students wouldn’t need to go to school and teach. They could just wait around playing role-playing games every day.

…

“The Void, or Dimension, it is the sustaining space or the ‘existence’ of space itself. Occupational persons can complete various incredible things through rituals or their own abilities, like creating Secret Realms and teleportation!”

Nighttime.

Su Lu continued tutoring Bai Ling.

This time, when he touched on the subject of dimensions, Bai Ling’s interest was piqued significantly.

Through Su Lu’s explanations, she gained a deeper understanding of Secret Realms and learned how to place the ‘secret weapon’ that the Sky Network had paid a high price to bring in.

As of now, Bai Ling was getting ready to ‘go all-in’ with Su Lu!

At least, she should let him accept an investigation, whether for her father’s issue or to deal the current problem at the academy.

However, recalling previous memories, an emotion surged within Bai Ling, prompting her to ask, “Uncle… you clearly possess higher-level mysterious knowledge, why… ”

“Why don’t you spread it widely, but only teach a small circle of apprentices?”

Su Lu finished Bai Ling’s sentence with a cheshire grin.

“Yes… Your knowledge is profound, probably surpassing even Han Fan… Why? Why do you choose to degrade yourself?…What I mean is, giving up the first place in East City Mystery College?”

Halfway through her sentence, Bai Ling felt her tone was wrong and quickly corrected it.

From the perspective of a niece who cherishes her uncle, her words carried a hint of resentment, but it wasn’t a big issue.

“Bai Ling…”

Su Lu’s smile grew more sly: “Do you really understand… the mysteries? In mysticism, there is a basic rule— the more you know, the easier it is to encounter misfortune! Even with the protection of the profession, it’s easy to come across misfortune.”

The power of mystery!

The power of the transcendent!

Since they have already ‘transcended’, it naturally carries some impact for ordinary people, and the majority of it is negative.

The design of the profession is to restrict the chaotic and indescribable transcendent forces, adopting a graded method from low to high, gradually protecting the occupational person themself!

This is what Su Lu gradually realized.

“So… Uncle, your laissez-faire management and slack teaching… are for the students’ benefit?” Bai Ling was somewhat unable to accept this.

“But… not mastering the power of mystery won’t work either, especially since we humans are facing a huge threat…” Su Lu revealed a helpless smile: “Perhaps, I am just such a paradoxical person…”

“So that’s how it is…”

Bai Ling responded verbally, but in her heart, she strongly disagreed with this statement.

What does it mean that the more you know, the more likely you are to encounter misfortune?

Isn’t the innovation and application of various technologies initially accompanied by ‘teething pains’? From the West’s industrial pollution to the application of electricity and firepower, there are accidents every year, but the humans on the Blue Star didn’t spurn food because of choking, bringing about the later technological brilliance.

Why can’t the newly appeared ‘mystery’ achieve the same? She found it somewhat absurd.

How did a primitive dogmatist like Bai Jing get promoted to high order and become one of the world’s top powerhouses?

“No… the impact of mystery is far beyond simple accidents. It’s a change that begins at the most fundamental level of the psyche…”

Su Lu shook his head, giving a serious reply.

As an ‘extraordinary person’ who is no longer human, who once held the Mythical Body, having the True Spirit and blood imprinted in the heart of the Spirit Magician, as a ‘beast’ whose body is made up of mysteries, Su Lu surely has the right to say this.

Once a transcendent profession is undertaken, the transformation of mystery begins and it’s impossible to rid oneself of it.

By the fifth and sixth orders, it largely detaches from the original relationship with the human race.

If one can break through the seventh order, then any race, even long-lived species like the Giant Dragon, will be completely irrelevant.

They only have one definition, that is, divine!

Immensely powerful, capable of destroying the world at will, Divine!

To say that their mindset is still the same as before they were mundane, that would be a huge joke.

‘In fact, people are constantly changing because they are influenced by the outside world from the moment they are born… it’s just that the transformations of Transcendents change too fast and are too intense, the Fifth and Sixth Orders even more so…’

‘What kind of terrifying changes will occur to a god, even if their body is still human, but their mind and spirit…?’

Su Lu suddenly found himself having a new expectation for becoming a god.

…

“Bai Jing… His psyche is already pathological, obstinacy, arrogance… Indeed, there should be a person or a power to wake him up.”

After leaving the small classroom, Bai Ling kept telling herself.

Taking advantage of the absence of curfew, she seemingly casually walked around the campus, making her way to a flower garden.

The plants growing here were all oddly shaped, such as man-eating flowers, Hunting Grass, Devil Vines… all of these were semi-plant and semi-animal. They looked weird and disturbing, were very aggressive, hence dangerous during the day and even more so at night.

Bai Ling was very familiar with this place, she bypassed some banyan trees with human faces and made her way to a shadow.

“I’ve already checked, there are no spiritual body monitors around…”

Although the Spirit World was forbidden by ancient gods, the Sky Network possessed the Ancient God’s Mystery Treasure. After over a decade of research, they wouldn’t be inferior to the original Dr. Suvit.

A thin voice came from behind a tree.

“I’ve brought the things, they’re hidden in…” Bai Ling whispered a few locations: “And… it’s best to arrange the hiding positions at these directions.”

“Don’t worry, we understand. The Space technology is no longer monopolized by the Spirit King.”

The delicate voice replied.

They were all members brought up by the Sky Network since their childhood. They entered the academy through regular procedures, receiving the knowledge from both sides. Both their strength and hidden abilities were powerful.

“And… We only want to ‘cure’ the Spirit King… He is too proud.” The tiny voice continued with a tone of determination.

“That’s right, we are just choosing to bring everything back to normal.”

Bai Ling muttered, seemingly affirming her conviction.

After she left, a shadow emerged from behind the tree. His entire body was shrouded in darkness, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted: “Psychological suggestions really can’t be relied upon, they have to be replenished from time to time. However, only in this way, it won’t trigger her resistance, and won’t make the Spirit King aware because this is a very normal change…”
