Transcendent Dawn-Chapter 359 - 0: Planning (3800 added, request for monthly pass)
Chapter 359: Chapter 0359: Planning (3800 added, request for monthly pass)
“We are all civilized people, we need to abide by the Federation’s laws, not resort to violence at the first sign of disagreement…I hope both of you can help me speed up the procedures for the wireless telegraph company. When Orchi’s wired telegraph company is listed on the stock exchange, I want to hold a press conference in White Eagle City…”
Su Lu drank another sip of sweet wine and continued in a calm voice.
Since Orchi decided to dilute his shares using ‘legitimate’ commercial methods, he too would deal with him in the same fashion.
“Your ability in scientific research is indeed…”
Dunstan wasn’t quite sure what to say. Could it be that Su Lu was also a hidden professional on the [Arcane] path?
“We can handle the registration of the company and the preliminary preparations.”
After exchanging glances with Celsus, Dunstan agreed to Su Lu’s request.
“Thank you. Please submit the patents related to wireless telegraphy on my behalf, but be careful to keep them confidential. Additionally, I will personally donate 30% of both wire and wireless telegraphy patents to the laboratory.”
Su Lu stood up: “Well… I must take my leave.”
With a slight bow, his figure disappeared into the void.
“This is…”
Celsus’ pale grey eyes flickered with interest.
“Spirit World Traversal!”
Dunstan spoke with solemn expression, finishing Celsus’ thought. “Our adversary is a legendary Spirit World professional.”
Such a Transcendent could open a gateway connecting the Spirit World and reality with a wave of his hand, causing horrifying calamities, all while remaining mysterious and extraordinarily crafty.
More importantly, he possessed this ability to traverse dimensions, which even the ‘Enigma Lock’ was unable to block!
“An unexpectedly troublesome professional suddenly emerged.”
“The world is becoming ever more unfamiliar…” Sleydon lamented in his heart.
Suddenly, he saw a spreading purple radiance.
The surrounding space seemed to overlap, separating them from the office.
‘The two of them want a private chat.’
He thought for a moment, bowed, and left.
Inside the purple barrier.
Celsus’ listless eyes surveyed the surroundings: “It’s safe now…”
“Spirit World Traversal, a terrifying ability… Generally speaking, only high-ranking Spirit World creatures possess it, it’s very troublesome.” Away from the public eye, Dunstan furrowed his brow and said frankly: “An uncontrollable power, if used for evil…”
“Dunstan, you’re worrying too much. The world is resilient, and so are humans… Don’t be like the Federation, trying to hold everything in your hands, it will be your ruin.”
Celsus chuckled.
“But…in the current world, every Fifth Level Professional is worth paying attention to.” Dunstan didn’t continue, but asked instead: “What do you think our approach should be towards him?”
“He… is very confident.”
Celsus said: “My intuition tells me that he, like me, is a very dangerous ‘Assassin’!”
“Like you?”
Dunstan was at a loss for words. Celsus followed the profession path of an [Assassin], starting from a First-Level [Thief], Second-Level [Killer], Third-Level [Assassin], Fourth-Level [Shadow Assassin], and became a Fifth-Level, [King of Assassination], who instilled terror in mages with legendary reputations!
Su Lu Pottery was clearly a Spirit World professional, how could he give off the same vibe as Celsus?
Assassin and Spirit World were clearly two different paths.
“A very mysterious fellow, perhaps we need an astrologer for some clues.”
Dunstan murmured: “After all… becoming a legend within a few years is too astounding.”
“Oh, come on, you know as well as I do that this is impossible… The Fifth Level Profession rank itself can shield and interfere with most divinations, and those who pursue the profession paths of Divination and Prophecy, would not dare to attempt divination on a high-ranking Spirit World creature… there’s a high chance of angering them, and getting chased and killed directly from the Spirit World!”
Celsus spoke in an indifferent voice: “Unless we activate X-13!” frёewebnoѵēl.com
“That’s out of the question… We’ve all tested it, the Book of Revelation is already in a very active state, the Federation is still suffering from the consequences of the last Prophecy…”
Dunstan instinctively shook his head.
“So… the situation is simple!”
Celsus shrugged: “Don’t provoke him, it’s as simple as that! I don’t want one more Fifth-Level enemy, neither do you, right?”
“Indeed…”
Dunstan seemed to shrink a little: “What form will this world eventually take?”
Even as Fifth-Levels, the Dominators of major powers, they had many misgivings about the world of ‘Dawn of the Gods.’
“For us professionals, it’s only going to get better.”
Celsus confirmed: “And… Have you noticed, that Su Lu Pottery, is a lone traveler! I gather from his words, that he’s interested in joining a power.”
“I also noticed, what do you think… How credible is it?”
Dunstan’s eyes lit up.
“There’s no harm in giving it a try, is there?” Celsus shrugged: “At the very least, he still wishes to abide by the surface-level ‘rules of the game’. That already puts him far ahead of organizations like the Ancient Snake Society and Black Death Society that only know how to flip the table…”
“You’re right…” Dunstan broke into a smile.
As for undercover agents and spies? That was overthinking it. Green Tree Castle kept an eye on talents from all major powers and also knew how to identify the followers of Evil Gods and Demons, although it was a little cumbersome.
“A lone Fifth-Level Professional like myself, whose background is fairly clean save for a few secrets, would surely intrigue the Federation and Green Tree Castle, right?”
On a rooftop, Su Lu’s figure appeared out of nowhere, speaking to himself.
The “Professional Registration Act” was a joke to the Fifth-Levels.
However, he was indeed considering joining some power.

At the lower levels, these individuals were cannon fodder. After joining, they’d be assigned an enormous amount of work, exploited in all sorts of ways, climbing up layer after layer of hardships, which is why he was slightly resistant.
But now, regardless of where he went, the other party would have to concede a lot of benefits. It was respect for a legend!
Although he might not be trusted as much as ‘direct members’, he would still have all the rights he should have.
Entering straight into the high ranks, saving him from a lot of bottom-level exploitation. The difference between this and an ordinary path was profound.
“Besides … I can also access more secret information, and use their power to probe about Rod’s whereabouts…”
Su Lu frowned at the thought of his elder brother’s continuous disappearance and thought of the Goddess Church.
Due to the last encirclement in Harris city, there were clear signs of cooperation between the Church and the Federation, so he didn’t rule out the possibility of Rod facing some accident and being discovered – like his atheist identity, or even its possible fall after facing a major setback.
In this case, in the Federation’s major powers, only Green Tree Castle would be the most suitable choice for him.
