Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 424: Action (Extra 1400, asking for monthly pass)

“In what manner should I consolidate my unique profession and enter the hall of divinities?”

If outsiders knew that Su Lu was contemplating this question, most would likely mock him as a lunatic.

However, Su Lu understood that for himself, the experience needed for the sixth level was nothing, the spare change in his experience pool could solve it.

His promotion to the sixth level was as good as guaranteed!

The only concern was the attitude of the Seven Major Orthodox Churches in the main world!

The Seven Major Orthodox Gods did not wish to see a new god rise, the churches had been keeping a close watch on all potential fifth levels, and had placed numerous obstacles on some professional paths.

He had detected all this long ago.

It wasn’t like the divine were fools to wait until an occupational person reached the peak of the sixth level to intervene.

According to Su Lu’s experience, after reaching the fifth level, one would fall into the sight of various churches, and there would be even more hostility towards those young prodigies.

For example, during the last overseas trade conference, the red-robed Archbishop Lawrence did not even bother to conceal his hostility towards him.

One can imagine that if he were to rapidly ascend to the sixth level, assassination plans might even pop up.

Therefore, there could not be the slightest hesitation or delay.

He must immediately ascend to the seventh level after the sixth, proceed in step with the deities, and truly transition from a chess piece to a chess player!

“The path to seventh level, the [Void Demon] is indeed strong, but let’s rule it out… The path of the [Illusionist] is good, the seventh level has many unique directions, seems like Shewinado also made a similar choice. Comparatively speaking, the path of the seventh level [Spirit Mage] is rather conventional…”

“But… I’m still confused about how to ascend to godhood.”

This is the ultimate arcane knowledge, even the Seven Major Churches are unlikely to possess it.

Only a true deity might know this.

Su Lu felt that at present, perhaps only two choices could help him.

The first was the true ‘Abyss Demon’, this entity thrived in chaos and fear, and did not mind the minor offenses he had committed before.

On the contrary, it seemed to delight in the appearance of a new deity in this world. Even the resurrection of Shewinado had its shadow behind it.

The emergence of a new god was indeed the best choice for upsetting the balance and breaking the rules.

That was no longer a chess piece, but a stone smashed fiercely onto the chess board!

But upon further thought, that was exactly the kind of thing a demon would love!

“Only if I choose the demon route, would I need to go down the path of the [Void Demon]… I don’t want to offer up my faith, even if it’s stronger than the average deity. Plus… there’s the matter of Donks.”

Su Lu firmly ruled out this choice: “So, the one most likely to help me next would be the one who ‘traded’ with me, Shewinado… This operation is the perfect opportunity.”

“However, why do I feel like I’m becoming a villain?”

A righteous god needs to maintain order.

Su Lu wishing to ascend to godhood he would not likely receive any help.

The only choice left would be those chaotic and evil deities.

In the main world, that would mean demons, Lady Moon, Shewinado, and the like…

But as for Lady Moon? If he were to pray to her, would she just strike him dead with lightning?

The next day, Dunstan honorably brought the [Mage] profession inheritance as promised:

[Apprentice] – [Law Toucher] – [Mage] – [Black Robe Mage] – [Erosion Mage]!

Not a single profession was lacking, and it was incredibly complete.

Su Lu happily accepted it with a promise to definitely participate in this operation.

…

Several days later.

Over a crater that had turned into a lake at the original site of Nia City.

“Nia City…”

Su Lu and another figure stood in mid-air, suddenly sighing.

“This was the place where you studied, wasn’t it? My condolences, Sir…”

Celsus, shrouded in a black robe, consoled in a hoarse voice.

His fifth-level profession was [King of Assassination], advanced from [Shadow Assassin], an existence terrifying to all fragile people.

“Don’t worry, I’m not that weak…”

Su Lu looked at the sparkling lake and his expression returned to calm: “Just feeling a bit sentimental…”

Even so, Celsus couldn’t help but glance at him repeatedly.

As an assassin, his keen perception made him realize that this honorary councilor was indeed like Dunstan said, becoming stronger!

Advancing in such a short time, the pursuer was clearly a genius on the path to his profession.

Of course, there was also a subtle difference!

‘But… there’s no particularly dangerous aura. If I really wanted to attack, at this distance, if nothing unexpected happens, maybe I could…’ Celsus thought in his heart, it was occupational hazard.

“Huh? They’re here.”

Su Lu seemed completely unaware, looking up at the horizon.

There, two black dots emerged and quickly dispersed the clouds, finally turning into slender figures.

“It’s Mr. Schumacher and the [Giant Axe Executioner], isn’t it?”

Celsus greeted them.

“The two of you, welcome!”

The [Giant Axe Executioner] Arsen looked cold, like un-melting ice, spoke once and then fell silent.

Su Lu waited a little longer, saw two rays of light coming, knew it was the aid from Goddess Church. When he saw the figures inside clearly, he went cold.

There were two people from the church, the first was the Red-robed Archbishop Lawrence with whom he had a slight conflict.

This priest had a gentle demeanor and even smiled when he saw him, which made Su Lu feel a chill.

In addition to him, there was an ascetic monk beside this bishop.

The monk was tall, dressed in the simplest linen robe, without any decoration from head to toe, his face expressionless, like a statue.

Yet, somehow, Su Lu felt he was somewhat similar to Rod.

“These two are Bishop Lawrence from the church and Brother James, the ascetic!”

Schumacher introduced to Su Lu and Celsus.

“Ascetic…James?”

Su Lu stared at the monk, a possibility emerged in his mind: “May I ask what your profession is?”

“Mr. Su Lu should be quite familiar with it…[Sacred Warrior]!” Lawrence said with a smile: “James Pottery is a devout follower of the Goddess, dedicating everything to her, and is currently practicing ‘silent vow’.”

The so-called ‘silent vow’ is one of the ‘ten commandments’ of ascetic practice.

Ascetics are the most devout group of believers in the church. They voluntarily give up wealth, power… anything mundane, and dedicated both their bodies and minds to the divine.

And through various ascetic practices, they continuously devoted themselves in their faith

Such as not speaking, not drinking alcohol, not eating, not getting angry, etc… These commandments are collectively referred to as the ‘Ten Commandments’.

Those who do not speak are said to be practicing ‘silent vow’!

“James Pottery?”

Celsus immediately gave Su Lu a look, accurately capturing anger in his eyes.
