Twilight of the Gods!
Transcendent low valley!
Low Magic World!
All of these are indeed one concept, representing a world that does not welcome transcendent powers, where ranking up and advancing becomes extremely difficult.
Moreover, not only does the use of various transcendent abilities require more consumption and have weaker effects, but even the lifespan of the immortal species will be terribly reduced!
For those who aspire to transcend, such a world is very horrifying!
Su Lu glanced at the attribute column, with a bitter smile on his face: “Although all attributes are weakened due to injury, they should recover.”
“However…although the levels of skills and passives are still there, the effectiveness is greatly reduced. Compared to them, language abilities are least weakened, followed by auxiliary skills like potion making and creating magical items. The most severely weakened are active destructive attack skills…”
According to his speculation, the formation of various spells and mysterious powers in the main world, the process is roughly that the occupational person uses skills to mobilize the mysterious power in the world and finally form the spell effect.
But in this world, the transcendent factors in the void are scarce and very ‘lazy’. They don’t support it at all. It’s only if the occupational person himself increases the consumption that the effect is not necessarily half of the original!
“What a heartbreaking fact…”
Su Lu fell into contemplation: “I don’t know after my inspiration is fully recovered, how many layers of the spirit world I can probe?”
Any world must have its own illusion spirit, heart spirit, and dream spirit world!
Only at higher spirit realms can integration occur.
In other words, the higher the spirit realm, the wider it is, and the easier it is for interworld communication!
“To teleport back, or to explore other alien worlds, it must be at least the fourth layer of the spirit world… thinking about these now, it’s too far-fetched…”
Su Lu looked at the items he had taken out again.
“The effect of magical items has been reduced, and the requirements for their use have increased…”
He held the demon-hunting dagger tightly, feeling that the material alone was an excellent weapon.
Gurgle!
The next moment, Su Lu’s stomach shamelessly growled.
The severe cold and massive consumption made him start to miss the last meal he had eaten. Even though it was just the steak and roast pigeon provided in the inn, along with the sweet and soft white bread and red wine, and finally, the colorful fruit and vegetable salad…
But… no matter how well Su Lu prepared, he could never imagine that he would fall to this level!
The storage space is limited. Storing some medicines for emergencies is understandable, but food…
Su Lu gritted his teeth, went out with the demon-hunting dagger, and hunted a Snow Rabbit.
The rabbit was big and strong, but under his inspiration detection and dagger throw, it soon became a meal.
Nightfall on this icy plain comes early.
Su Lu lit a fire in front of the tent, roasting the freshly hunted Snow Rabbit.
This creature that he named ‘Snow Rabbit’, although it looks like a rabbit, the meat has layers of snowflake-like patterns. A little cooking emits an astonishing aroma, feeling like a top-grade beef ingredient.
Although there were no other seasonings, Su Lu still had a great appetite.
When he cut off the last rabbit foreleg, his inspiration was suddenly triggered, looking towards a certain corner.
In the darkness, two spots of deep blue light appeared. It was the giant wolf from the daytime!
Although the range of inspiration is much smaller than it was in the main world, at such a close distance, Su Lu still carefully observed every part of the giant wolf.
Its silvery hair glistened like silk in the moonlight, its limbs were long and strong, and its claws and teeth were shiny.
It was facing the bonfire at this moment, emitting a low growl.
It seems that it was attracted by the scent, or perhaps it sensed the intrusion?
“In terms of size, it’s much larger than an average wolf. Is this unique or common in this world? But looking at it… it must have transcendent lineage from its ancestors. During the Dawn of the Gods era, it might even awaken some spell-like abilities… It’s a [Wolf Shepherd]’s favorite.”
Su Lu idly speculated about the possibilities.
If he were at his peak and not in the Twilight of the Gods era, he might even consider taming it as a mount.
But now?
Using his Inspiration, he communicated his good intentions and his plan to leave at dawn, then tossed a piece of rabbit meat over.
To his surprise, the Ice Plain Wolf seemed to truly understand, howling a few times before retreating into the darkness, not even touching the food on the ground.
“Such spirituality…”
Impressed, Su Lu went back to munching on his rabbit leg.
After eating and drinking his fill, he reclined in the tent, watching as his Inspiration energy slowly replenished.
‘I wonder how Rod is doing. Since he isn’t a criminal, he probably won’t run into any trouble…’
‘To be honest, coming to this Alien World is both a curse and a blessing for me.’
Su Lu feared that his many crimes would be traced back to him by the Federation, which would surely end badly.
Just by revealing his identity as the ‘Black Knight’ and relating it to the events surrounding the Dream of the Ancient God in Lore City would put him in as much danger as the [Blasphemous Priest] Moron!
Despite the help of the Ancient Snake Society and his status as a Fifth Level professional, Moron was still quickly discovered and eradicated.
As a small Third Level professional, what could he possibly do to resist?
Now that he was hiding in this Alien World, all form of divination spells were ineffective on him.
The essence of Divination was to interact with the Dream Spirit World, which was different in every world!
‘It’s a pity… this world is in its Twilight of the Gods, but advancing to the Fourth Level should still be possible… right?’
‘When that time comes, I might be able to uncover the truth of this world.’
Su Lu was always curious about the cycle of the Spirit Tides, it was a secret tied to the fundamental essence of the world.
Moreover, this world might not be devoid of a period when the transcendent beings are revived. The relics and resources left behind by the powerful beings during that time would be of immense value.
With current low dangers, now was the perfect opportunity for exploration!
“After all, exploring Alien Worlds is the profound insight of the [Wandering Mage] profession…”
The night passed.
The dawn sunlight descended.
Su Lu massaged his temples, as his Inspiration spread throughout his body, finally breaking through the barrier of the first level of the Spirit World.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the lingering spiritual bodies wandering around the forest and the multitude of ‘spirits’ in the Illusory Spirit Realm.
“The Language barrier is a challenge in this Alien World. Luckily, I can communicate with these spirits to learn!”
Although most spirits were in a state of confusion, even to the point that they could not maintain their humanoid form and take on strange shapes, there were still some with which he could communicate.
Su Lu’s eyes rolled back, and he entered the Illusory Spirit Realm.
In an instant, everything around him became somewhat illusory, and the world appeared to consist only of black, white, and fluorescent colors.
The number of spirits residing in the Illusory Spirit Realm was ten, even a hundred times more than in the physical world!
Su Lu effortlessly found a humanoid spirit.
The indigenous sentient beings of this world seemed to have a humanoid appearance, red-haired, deeply set features, dressed in tattered burlap clothes. Above his neck was a terrible decapitated stump, his right hand was holding his own head, and he was looking over with emotionless brown eyes.
This was the spirit of a decapitated man!
