Transcendent Dawn

“If you wish to know, of course, I can share…”

Dunstan invited Su Lu to sit down, standing himself as if he were back in his apprenticeship, facing his mentor, “[Arcane] the seventh order ritual of the Arcanist, after countless generations of Arcanists’ speculation, only starts with one thing, it should involve merging oneself with the concept of ‘Arcane’ and gaining widespread recognition…”

“In other words, when others think of ‘Arcane’, they think of you? The scope should be worldwide…”

Su Lu muttered.

“That’s right… After being promoted to the [Mystery Creator], I gained the ability to forge higher level ‘Arcane Contracts’. I have now become the public notary of all the contracts of Green Tree Castle and am actively expanding my influence… but.”

A bitter smile danced on Dunstan’s lips.

There were too many famous [Arcane] in history. He was only the chief of this term in Green Tree Castle. It’s like a pipe dream to make everyone in the world associate him with ‘Arcane’. There were plenty of people who didn’t care about him!

Not to mention that perhaps the Federation and the Church, who might be aware of this ritual, would never let him succeed.

“Spirit of the White Tower? The Spirit of Arcane?”

“The ‘Body of Arcane’ of the [Mystery Creator] is actually transforming towards the Arcane Spirit… and the Arcane Spirit is naturally devoid of the concept of ‘human’, thus more easily accepted by people to combine with the concept of ‘Arcane’, and is the reserve force for the seventh order… It’s a pity…”

Dunstan shook his head and sighed.

‘Body of Arcane’ is the mythic body of the [Mystery Creator].

In Su Lu’s eyes, although Dunstan appeared human on the surface, the essence of his core had become a cluster of ‘Arcane Spiritual Fire’ located at his heart, connected to various parts of his body by a dense network of energy.

Of course, the most regrettable thing was the ‘Arcane Spirit’.

Upon its birth, one could say the ‘Arcane Spirit’ was in the middle of the seventh-order ritual and received the worship of a large number of Arcanists – it had a one percent chance of ascension!

This already a not low probability.

——from Su Lu’s perspective, although Dunstan had taken a small step towards ascension, his hope of becoming a God was not even one in ten thousand!

“What a pity…”

He shook his head, expressing some regret.

Su Lu was self-aware.

Although he had become a god and broke the blockade of the Seven Great Churches, he was still somewhat inferior when it came to entrenched churches and the Seven Major Orthodox who were at least eighth-order true gods.

Furthermore, if he insisted on revenge, he would definitely be labeled as a demon, Lady Moon, Shewinado- same as those evil gods!

Since he himself belonged to the ‘evil gods’ faction, the stronger the power of his faction, the better. If nothing else, it could serve as another force to share firepower.

It was truly a pity that ‘The Spirit of Arcane’, which held the greatest hope, was killed by Lady Moon.

This was also a characteristic of evil gods – occasionally cooperating, but the moment an opportunity presented itself they would ruthlessly turn against each other.

“Dunstan… According to my speculation, the latter half of the ascension ritual may be related to faith, but not ordinary faith, but the faith of the [Arcanist] …”

Based on his knowledge of the mysteries, Su Lu gave his advice.

As for using a huge amount of experience to help Dunstan speculate with the property bar? Dunstan didn’t have the face for that yet!

“Faith?”

Dunstan wasn’t surprised, he had evidently guessed in this direction before.

There are all sorts of rituals, and it’s not unusual to need faith.

Actually, ‘faith’ is a broad concept and can also be replaced with a commitment of body and mind.

“This base number may be very large. If it is to support a God Making Ceremony, I guess at least 10,000 people are needed… and they must be [Arcanists] of the third order or above!”

Su Lu added a sentence.

“It seems almost impossible…”

The bitterness on Dunstan’s face deepened.

[Arcane] is a truly genius profession, requiring extremely high intelligence!

Even at its pinnacle, the number of [Arcane] in the entire Green Tree Castle did not exceed a thousand!

Moreover, would the [Arcane], who are deeply devoted to research and like to challenge authority, believe in another [Arcane]?

Unless the other party has left them far behind, to an extent of disparity that is heaven and earth, there might be such a small possibility!

“Although it is difficult, I believe there are always ways, there’s more than one path in a profession…”

Su Lu comforted.

Even if Dunstan can’t ascend to the orthodox seventh-level of [Arcane], he could try to switch jobs, or research and create a brand new seventh-level profession. Although it’s still very challenging, there is hope.

The [Arcane] are very good at research.

“Anyway, thank you for your guidance, sir.”

Dunstan respectfully bowed to thank him.

“Don’t be so formal, how’s the situation in the Federation?”

Su Lu no longer discussed this issue, changing the topic instead.

“The Chris Empire is attacking us aggressively. While our tactics are quite flexible, we still suffer heavy losses…because Emperor Antonio Caesar does not care about casualties at all…”

Dunstan replied solemnly, “He feels… like a madman, but has unmistakably hit our vulnerability.”

The Chris Empire is a monarchy, all its citizens theoretically serve the emperor, and they must give everything unconditionally.

But the White Eagle Federation is different, the ruler will face massive criticisms, even resignation, once the casualties exceed a certain limit.

“However, the most important aspect is our disadvantage in the mystical aspects… Despite having the support of the White Eagle Defenders and the Goddess Church, the Empire has the support of six major churches and more occupational people!”

“The emperor of the Chris Empire would not usually act in this way, there must have been some sort of change.”

Su Lu nodded and asked about the current situation of a few people he knew.

His inner circle friend Siegfried has grown at an astonishing pace and has taken the office of [Mechanical Master]. He inherited a huge mecha from a former member of parliament, making him almost a fifth-level powerhouse.

Besides, Sean also successfully inherited the legacy of the [Emperor of Disaster] and returned to the Eleventh Bureau. He is now a fifth-level [Necromancer King], and a famous newcomer in the Federation.

“Knowing they are doing well eases my worries.”

Su Lu stood up. As for meeting them, let’s forget it. It would be socially awkward, and they don’t share any common language or interests.

“Sir…”

Seeing that Su Lu was about to leave, Dunstan added: “I’ve received an intel… the Federation may be planning a major action against the Empire, and it is scheduled for January 1st next year.”

“Is that… the founding day of the Chris Empire?”

Su Lu quickly understood the connection.

As the White Eagle Federation was once a colony of the Chris Empire, the calendars of the two countries are very similar.

“Yes, but I don’t know the details; it’s top-secret information known only to the Defenders and the highest echelons of the church. The location… should be the Imperial Capital,” Dunstan added.

“I see, I might take a look if I have time.”

Su Lu promised, then disappeared without a trace.
