Transcendent Dawn

ꨡ[6Ba~oA|7: Chapter 0767: Dream Chapter 767: Chapter 0767: Dream Time flies.

Decades pass in the blink of an eye.

The war between the Four-Clan Alliance and the Sea Tribe is raging.

In essence, the core of racial competition lies in fertility.

The fittest survive, and the races that cannot adapt to the cruelty of nature are gradually going extinct.

In this regard, the Sea Tribe and the Four Clans are equal, and with such a short timeline, they must rely on mutual slaughter.

Faced with hostility from the various Sea Tribe tribes, the Four-Clan Alliance occupies the land of the extinct tribes and struggles to survive.

…

Near the Blood Rose Canyon, beneath an unnamed hill.

In the cool breeze stands an unnamed tomb.

This was once the final battlefield of the Sea Tribe, and it is said that a number of Sea Tribe bones are buried in the wild hill.

But the only true tomb is this one.

This so-called tomb is essentially a pile of dirt, absent any structures or vegetation.

As the sun sets, a stooped figure slowly approaches.

It’s Rite!

“Asha…

I’ve come to see you!”

Standing before the tomb, after a long moment, he finally gestures, “I’ve aged…

but the events of that time are still fresh in my eyes every day, as if history is repeating itself…”

“That relic of the chief, we did excavate it, and indeed it belonged to the Insect Clan’s Kingdom, but inside there wasn’t much of value…

we simply couldn’t understand the documents…

not to mention the legendary treasures…

it’s rather humorous that your father, attracted by these legends, spent his entire life pursuing the mythical treasures of the Insect Clan, only to end up like this, don’t you think?”

“I received news…

the Sea Tribe has officially united and is planning to deploy a combined army to suppress us.

It seems that our victory last year did scare them…

this war will be extremely difficult, and I might die…

then, I could join you here, if you would still like to see me.”

Rite murmured, sounding like a chatterbox.

“Indeed…

all you know is resistance and war, but not construction…

your tribe is about to perish.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the side.

“Who’s there?”

Rite drew his sword and pointed towards the source of the voice, still agile despite his age.

He sees a figure.

Or more accurately, a Sub-human from the Ape People, but with bodily hair much thinner than his own.

“Which tribe do you belong to?”

Rite asked, puzzled.

“I’m not from your tribe…

and how I appear to you may not reflect my true form…” Su Lu laughed softly, standing in front of Rite: “Let’s get back to our earlier topic.

You guys established a tribe, yet there’s hardly any rules or laws, which are a prerequisite if you aim to establish a Kingdom.”

“Rules and laws?” Already a deep thinker, Rite was fully engrossed.

“Indeed, it’s about showing your tribe what they can and cannot do…

and what punishment they’ll face if they violate these rules… These are the achievements of the Insect Clan’s civilization, set out in the ‘Acute Angle Law’ proclaimed by their first ‘King’…”

With a wave of Su Lu’s hand, illusions of Rite and the Four-Clan Alliance digging up relics appeared.

The image freezes on a piece of obsidian: ‘Article One of the Kingdom Law: the King is the leader of all, everyone must obey the “King”, otherwise they will face punishment…”

“Can you understand this?”

As Rite’s attention shifted away from the law, his eyes sparkled brightly as they focused on Su Lu.

“You understand the Insect Clan’s text?

Then tell me, what’s the secret to their domination?

Where is their treasure?”

“Ha…you’re too greedy, but I can tell you that the secret to the Insect Clan’s domination lies within the thirteen Isosceles Monuments…”

Su Lu spoke, ignoring Rite’s eager expression: “However, the time for the Isosceles Monuments to come into play has not yet arrived…”

“Not ready yet?

Our Four Clans are about to be wiped out by the Sea Tribe!” Rite clenched his fists: “I am the Chieftain of the tribe, and I command you to tell me as a King!”

“Eager to implement what you learn, I see…”

Su Lu shook his head: “But…”

Carefully, he withdrew most of his unconquerable aura, revealing only a trace of his power, something a human could bear, before Rite.

Boom!

Rite’s mind was a whirlwind, incapable of comprehending the being before him.

Yet before he could react, his body had already instinctively kneeled down.

“What…”

“Who…

exactly…

are…

you…”

Rite’s mind was a mess, thoughts flickering in and out.

His lips quivered, but he couldn’t speak a word.

“As a mere creature, your arrogance is enough to damn you to hell.

But I am merciful, I forgive your transgressions…”

Su Lu said indifferent.

Since Su Lu had appeared here, he intended to give a boost to the Ape People, so instructing them in transcendent powers was only natural.

However, compared to the traditional way of learning, ‘influence transformation’ is much faster.

“Do you wish to control the power of the ‘strings’ as the Insect Clan does?”

“Strings?”

“They represent the essence of the world, and one could also refer to them as ‘truth’!

The first step to find them is to clarify your inner self…”

As Su Lu spoke, Rite felt his emotions start to peel away.

Memories of his suffering in his youth, of his love with Asha, and of his later position as tribal leader.

But that wasn’t him!

‘What remains when all these labels, these definitions assigned by experiences after birth, are stripped away?

The more I think about it, the more fear I feel…’ Rite pondered.

At the same time, a detached voice sounded in his heart, “What remains is the true ‘me’, who can feel the world, feel joy, and feel pain!”

Boom!

When he opened his eyes, the world seemed slightly different.

In the void, there were lines of radiant light, emitting various rays of color indescribable to human language.

“The essence of the world—’strings’?”

Rite tried to touch a string mentally and immediately felt an intense heat spread throughout his body.

“Ah!”

He let out a roar towards the sky.@@novelbin@@

…

“Chieftain?

What’s wrong?”

Several ape Sub-humans within the tribe approached: “The werewolf leader is waiting for you to discuss affairs!

The Sea Tribe’s combined forces will arrive soon…”

“I…”

Rite studied his surroundings, “This place isn’t the Bloody Rose Canyon?

I didn’t go to the tomb…

that…

was it a dream?”

He raised his hand in bewilderment, his pupils slightly dilated.

But the next moment, an undisputable power appeared in his hand.

‘It’s real…’

‘What kind of being is that?

The ancient ruler from the Sea Tribe legends?

Or…a God?’

Staring at his own hands, Rite fell deep into contemplation.
