St. George's University was established in 187, according to the Federated calendar, and is located in the scenic suburbs of Nia City. The university is under the patronage of the Goddess of Light Church and primarily sponsors students from families in poverty who have outstanding high school performances and hold a favorable impression of the Goddess of Light.
It occupies a vast area; students in the boys' dormitory share a common living room, bathroom, and two single bedrooms.
Upon returning, Su Lu locked the door behind him and lay on his bed with his eyes closed.
Today, while activating the attribute panel, he simultaneously activated the hidden memories of Su Lu Pottery, realizing there was a story about his former host.
The items of "Ancient Hebrew" and "Demon Hunting Knowledge" listed on the attribute tab were not to be taken lightly!
However, it seemed that the original host had undergone some trauma, choosing to selectively forget these memories.
And all this time since Su Lu had transmigrated, he hadn't delved too deeply into the original host's memories.
It was only today, after fully merging with this world, that Su Lu discovered the original host's background was far from simple, potentially hailing from a Transcendent family!
Reflecting on the words 'Dawn of the Gods', 'Transcendent tide', and other phrases mentioned in the letter he received from his brother, Su Lu felt it necessary to reorganize the original host's memories.
Perhaps it was due to the stimulation provided by today's letter that large amounts of previously sealed memories emerged, allowing Su Lu to deepen his understanding of this world.
"According to our textbooks, our world consists of five continents and seven oceans. Still, this is far from comprehensive... this world is infinitely vast, and what humans have so far explored might not even account for 10% of the world..."
"The Pottery family is a Transcendent lineage, comprised of generations of Demon Hunters and affiliated with the Church of Light…"
"In this world, it seems that Transcendent powers have always existed, albeit with peaks and troughs. During the troughs, many Transcendent beings hide, and gods fall into slumber, a period known as the Twilight of the Gods. Its counterpart is the Dawn of the Gods, marking the revival of Transcendent power! This cycle has repeated itself many times in history!"
The Twilight of the Gods was not a time when Transcendent power vanished, but rather, it merely sank into a trough.
Therefore, even in the Twilight of the Gods, there were Transcendents, and the Church of the Seven Gods was the best proof.
"The last 'Twilight of the Gods' began over three hundred years ago. The Seven Old Gods' control over the secular world fell into a trough, and the White Eagle Federation seized the opportunity to rise."
"From a young age, Su Lu received formal education to become a Demon Hunter. It seemed his father intended him to pursue the career of a professional [Demon Hunter], but because of the Twilight of the Gods, the number of supernatural, horrifying, and transcendent cases drastically reduced. Many demon hunters lost their jobs. Moreover, to become a true Transcendent, one needs to perform a special ritual, which requires the involvement of transcendent powers and specific environmental conditions. Su Lu's father tried this once and failed, leading to the death of Su Lu's mother. This caused a rift between the father and son, leading Su Lu to leave his hometown in Gusta State and come to Nia City, essentially traversing the entire White Eagle Federation!"
"Then, there came my transmigration…"
Su Lu suddenly opened his eyes: "I cannot believe that I had overlooked such important memories. Is this the obsession of the original host?"
In essence, the information about Transcendent knowledge was what the original host had learned as a child. It was virtually useless. As a Demon Hunter, when all the demons and ghosts had disappeared, what else could he do?
When Su Lu was young, he had only undergone some basic training. He had never seen any of the legendary demonic creatures that were supposedly all about, and he didn't even believe in them.
Moreover, as far as the vast memory was concerned, his part accounted for less than 1 percent. It seemed to be related to the obsession of the original host and was completely overlooked by Su Lu.
After all, he had always evaded issues related to the original host's family, merely compiling some essential family information, and didn't want to dig deeper.
Only today, after being stimulated, did he let everything explode at once.
"Perhaps the true original host also harbored an obsession with these Transcendent memories. Today I have completely crushed it... From today forward, I am the genuine Su Lu Pottery!"
Su Lu heaved a heavy sigh and thought quickly.
"From the letter received today, it seems that Rod, my elder brother, has become entangled in a quite significant event and is hinting at seeking my help. Does this have something to do with that page of the book?"
As for his intentions? Going back is out of the question. Even though he now knew about the existence of the Transcendent world, Su Lu still wanted to continue his previous plan—to initially establish himself in the ordinary world.
Transcendent powers? Of course, he would continue to study them secretly.
Su Lu was clear on his own situation. The strength of the White Eagle Federation, as a world-class power, with its standing armies and the power of its artillery and firearms, was definitely not to be underestimated.
Even a Transcendent might not be able to stop bullets with bare hands.
Moreover, how could such a large national power possibly not have studied the Transcendents?
The most direct proof of this was the Church of the Seven Gods!
Previously, Su Lu had found it odd that the power of faith had such a significant influence in the White Eagle Federation. But now he finally understood. They had real gods backing them. This level of influence was actually significantly weakened due to the three-hundred-year-long Twilight of the Gods!
Therefore, even with the 'Golden Finger', he still needed to play it safe.
"However, I can't take it slow for long. The Pottery family, generation after generation, serves the Goddess of Light as a lineage of Demon Hunters. During the first Sacred War, they settled in the White Eagle Federation along with some members of the Goddess Church. There are plenty of records about this, and anyone could dig up this information upon investigation…"
Su Lu's face turned solemn: "If the Rebirth of Spiritual Energy happens… No, if the Dawn of the Gods arrives, government authorities will quickly respond. That would be troublesome. Should I start enhancing my strength covertly right away?"
He searched the attribute panel for a while but didn't find anything like a [Demon Hunter Bloodline], and felt disappointed: "Do I lack the talent and potential?"
Su Lu rounded up his thoughts. The primary content the original host learned as a child was Ancient Hebrew and Demon Hunting Knowledge.
Ancient Hebrew was the predecessor to the modern, standard Hebrew language and was obtuse and difficult. In contrast, Demon Hunting Knowledge taught about common demonic creatures and corresponding countermeasures. The original host had treated these as scary stories.
As for how to perform a ritual to raise one's professional rank and truly become a Transcendent, he was completely in the dark.
Even the original host's father was just a casual Demon Hunter. His one attempt at forceful advancement ended in a big failure.
"Transcendents…"
Su Lu stroked his chin, "at this point, Su Lu's family consists only of his father Donks and his elder brother Rod. It seems that Rod has made significant progress on the path of the Transcendents these past four years… is he coming to find me?"
A feeling of anticipation and trepidation surged, leaving Su Lu with a complex expression.
