Transcendent Dawn

Icefield.

A howling cold wind swept through the black coniferous forest.

The scent of blood hung in the air, attracting the ruler of the icefield, a massive Ice Plain Wolf.

It was close to three meters in size, its blue eyes fixating on a patch of snow.

There, laid a human figure.

If it were a corpse, the Ice Plain Wolf wouldn’t bother to look and would simply leave.

As the ruler of the icefield, it had its own pride, only feeding on the prey it hunted itself.

However, when it was about to leave, the creature sensed the ‘fresh’ scent of life from the figure.

The Ice Plain Wolf hesitated, advancing slowly, sniffing faintly.

It saw a disheveled and blood-stained young human – who was, indeed, still alive!

Fueled by the predator’s instinct, it bared its sharp fangs.

The next moment!

Boom!

A terrifying oppressive force erupted from the figure.

A dreadful spiritual force field, akin to the might of a dragon burst out! Even though it was much weaker than usual, it retained the formidable threat of a tiger.

Feeling an equally apex predator’s aura, the Ice Plain Wolf hesitated, then chose to back off.

It was an intelligent animal.

Given an abundance of available prey, it wouldn’t abruptly engage in a battle with a creature radiating a dangerous aura.

“Was that…a wolf?”

Summoning his spirit power to scare off the Ice Field Wolf, Su Lu, suddenly opened his eyes.

A blanket of white.

It seemed like he was in an icy wasteland, the cold constantly assaulting his body, reminding him of the urgent need to find shelter, lest he froze to death.

“So cold…dangerous…”

“Where…am I?”

For a moment, Su Lu’s mind is sluggish.

He breathed steadily, allowing his spirit to recover slowly.

Finally, more memories started to resurface: Harris City, the Mysterious Fair, the Door of Different World…

“I must have succeeded if I’m in an unknown location…”

Su Lu felt a bit elated, but quickly, he felt weak, a terrifying weakness!

Neither the previous spirit world traversal, nor the soul burning, made him feel so depleted.

It was as if his [Strong LV4] passive skill had ceased to function.

No! Su Lu could still sense its existence, working hard to restore his body, but the effect was tremendously small.

“Something’s not right… Compared to the previous time, all my attributes have been strengthened. I even had passive skills to help me… Why am I in this state? And what happened to the spiritual oppression? Even though I’ve tried hard to endure, an ordinary creature must scare the life out of itself… The effects of my skills seem to be significantly weakened.”

After lying down for another ten minutes, Su Lu, bearing the pain that felt like being cut with a knife every time he moved, sat up.

“Snow? Forest… Looks like I’ve really come to an alien world?”

He found it hard to believe.

From what he remembered, crossing the Door of Different World was a painful process.

The sensation felt like being pressed under a mountain, or being plunged directly into a deep-sea trench, with oppressive forces attacking from all directions.

Even with his physical strength and willpower, he couldn’t hold on till the end and passed out.

When he regained consciousness, he was here.

“The crossing should’ve been successful, but this world…”

Su Lu took a deep breath, his face turned pale.

Although he could sense the spirit world, his current spirit power didn’t allow him to probe into it, not even into the shallowest first layer!

“Something’s not right… The speed at which my spirit power is recovering is too slow.”

Su Lu closed his eyes again, sensing various energy vibrations in the void.

After a while, he opened his tired eyes, a bitter smile on his face: “If the previous Federation was in a state of Gods’ Awakening and the coming of the Spirit Tide, then this region is similar to the time of Twilight of the Gods… Although supernatural powers still exist, they are at a low ebb, nearly dried up, that is… the era of low magic?”

He was now confident that he had indeed arrived in an alien world.

Because even in the Main World, even in the Dark Continent, the Spirit Tide wouldn’t be so varied!

“This is bad…”

The plan Su Lu came up with was simple.

Even if he crossed into an alien world, as long as he succeeeded in taking the office of [Wandering Mage], he might find a way back, and even traces of his real home.

But he forgot one thing!

Not all worlds support the existence of supernatural powers!

“Being in a low-magic world is my misfortune, but also my fortune… If it were a world without magic, with strict physical rules, I would’ve drawn a blank…”

“Besides… even if this world is equivalent to the Twilight of the Gods in the Main World, it doesn’t matter. At least during the Twilight of the Gods in the Main World, a fourth-tier master occupational person could still be born… It’s just that the gate of legends would become incredibly difficult to push open, almost impossible!”

“It’s good enough to escape from that desperate situation… Besides, I still have the attribute panel, I might be still be able to do what others can’t.”

He tried to stand up, his legs shaking and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “Now I… I feel like an old man.”

Fortuantely, Su Lu’s self-adjusting ability was strong. Not much time passed before he recovered from the slump, used a broken branch as a crutch, and surveyed his surroundings.

“Icefield, forest… And that giant wolf just now… This place seems quite dangerous.”

His current physical state did not support long-distance travel.

Thinking about the giant wolf that was just scared away, after considering it, Su Lu decided to stay put.

Predators generally have territorial awareness, barring that giant wolf, there should be fewer dangers in this area.

Su Lu looked at his right hand, saw that he was still wearing the ‘Greedy’ gloves, and breathed a sigh of relief.

If that item was also broken, his loss would be enormous.

“However… in this world, the spirit power needed to activate the magical items is much more, and it’s also more exhausting.”

After a few deep breaths, Su Lu felt that the small amount of spirit power he accumulated after resting for so long was completely swallowed by the Greedy Gloves. He barely managed to open a crack in the void, and hastily took out the Demon Hunting Dagger, a few pieces of warm clothing, medicine, canvas and other sundries.

A few hours later.

A small tent was erected in the coniferous forest.

It was made from tree branches and covered with canvas. Although it was a bit drafty, it was better than being directly exposed outdoors.

Su Lu gathered some dry firewood, preparing to light a fire.

After thinking for a while, he pulled out a trick card that was sealed with ‘Small Fireball’ and unsealed it.

Accompanied by the sound of the incantation, the trick card disappeared. On his finger, a small flame appeared.

Staring at the flame for a long while, Su Lu couldn’t help but crack a bitter smile: “Is this the Twilight of the Gods?”

During the Twilight of the Gods, supernatural powers existed, but they were extremely weak.

The consequence was a drastic decrease in the effects of various magical abilities!
