Transcendent Dawn

ꨡ[6Ba~oAs1: Chapter 0791: Farewell Chapter 791: Chapter 0791: Farewell Imperial Calendar, Year 218.

Against all expectations, Jupiter did not go north to conquer the magicians, nor did he deal with the nobles of the North Territory.

It seemed like a certain compromise was reached.

Gradually, ill news started to spread from within the palace.

The Mercenary Emperor, a one-century legend who has ruled the Empire for over two hundred years, seemed to be truly approaching the end of his life!

…

Su Lu, dressed in a white waistcoat, walked into a garden.

Dried yellow leaves carpeted the ground, with a dappled golden glow under the sun.

Not far away, on a recliner, an old man lay.

He had silver hair and wrinkles on his face.

He was covered in a thick woolen blanket.

This was Jupiter, of an unknown age.

Only the glimmer in his eyes remained bright.

Normally, the area should have been swarming with guards, but at that moment, no one stopped Su Lu from approaching.

Hearing the footsteps, Jupiter turned his head.

His eyes at first showed disbelief, then realization.

He murmured, “Master…

Have you come?

Are you here to see me off?”

He chuckled lightly, “I’ve long thought you were odd, it seems that…

many of my doubts can be cleared today…

I’ve lots of questions for you.”

“Yes…I came to see you off.”

Su Lu stood beside Jupiter, looking at the garden with him, and heaved a deep sigh.

“I’m going to die…” Jupiter seemed to be talking about a stranger.

“You’ve suppressed the present, yet could not escape the passage of time…

After becoming a legend, you had the path, but you rarely pondered over the Acute Angle Monument, and did not put great efforts in gathering…

until now, only the second monument from the Insect Clan has appeared…”

Su Lu sighed.

“Transcendent strength, should not be owned by mortals…

I thought my strength was enough, but I didn’t expect a mage to appear in my late years.

Now, even if I wanted to advance, it’s too late…” Jupiter said, without much regret, “And…

I do not fear death, but loneliness…

Master, you’re like me, the terror of experiencing those you know age and die one by one…”

“You were a good emperor, you gave the continent two hundred years of peace!” Su Lu evaluated simply.

“My only regret, or worry, is that group of magicians…” Jupiter gave a bitter smile.

Su Lu knew that after defeating Phil, Jupiter had gone to the North Territory alone.

He had watched Ilya and Tacro from outside the Mage Tower.

Unfortunately, he was uncertain about suppressing the two, who had the boost from the Mage Tower, and thus he did not choose to take action.

In fact, even at the expense of everything and the deployment of the Imperial Army to attack the North Territory, there was a chance of annihilating the magicians.

Only that the war would not end soon and countless lives would be lost.

Jupiter, however, was unwilling to proceed in such a manner.

“That’s the responsibility of your descendants…”

Su Lu shook his head, “Anyway…

you’ve arranged everything, haven’t you?”

Even if Jupiter no longer had feelings for his descendants, in order to ensure the stable reign of the Empire, he must choose the most suitable person to be the emperor.

“As expected… Master, you see through everything!”

Jupiter, with difficulty, raised his head to look at Su Lu, “But…

I still have many doubts, for example, who are you?

What’s your purpose?

Why…

choose me?

And…

does the emergence of the magicians have anything to do with you?”

“Hehe…”

Su Lu smiled without replying.

“And then…

are you…

disappointed in me?” Jupiter asked again.

“Everything is your choice; I’ve never been disappointed…” Su Lu responded calmly.

“That’s good…”

Jupiter’s head fell, his voice gradually becoming quieter.

Su Lu could clearly see that his flame of life was fading more and more, and finally extinguished.

“Farewell…”

Looking at his student, Su Lu waved his hand, “And…

Jupiter…

Death is not the end of everything, rather, it might just be the beginning of something new…”

Two hundred years of rule, two hundred years of invincibility, two hundred years of legend!

The Mercenary Emperor at this time was the cornerstone of the Empire’s faith!

With this accumulation of power of the mind, even if not achieving deity, at the least becoming a ‘Heroic Spirit’ was without a doubt.

In Su Lu’s eyes, the so-called ‘Heroic Spirits’ were particularly powerful spiritual bodies, even possible reservists of the divine, very similar to the ‘Arcane Spirits’ of the past.

Under his gaze.

A new figure emerged from Jupiter’s body.

And, all signs of age vanish.

He was completely restored to his peak state during youth.

This ‘Heroic Spirit’ looked at Su Lu as if he wanted to say something.

But he was absorbed into the ground by a force before he could speak.

“The establishment of the ‘Netherworld’, the sanctuary for souls, needs to be put on the agenda…I’m curious about Jupiter’s face when he sees a desolate Netherworld…”

Su Lu chuckled and disappeared.

Only then did the guards notice something wrong, they came rushing over immediately, and a commotion immediately spread throughout the palace.

…

Imperial calendar, Year 218, The Mercenary Emperor Jupiter Morici concluded his legendary life.

He had arranged everything before his death, the succession of the new emperor proceeded without a ripple, several ambitious people were quickly suppressed with dreadful consequences.

History, thus, turned a new page.

…

North Territory, Mage Tower.

Ilya, dressed in a mage’s robe, still looked similar to before; the only difference was her now more mature temperament.

In front of her, scenes of images showcasing the Magician’s Academy that was built around showed.

After several enrolments, the members now exceeded two hundred people.

The apprentices of the past, such as Alexander, Lindsay, Dami, Ted, Lusov, Ritchie, and others, had all passed their test and become formal magicians.

Except for a few who left, most stayed in the Academy as instructors.

The time for recruiting new talent had arrived again.

“The power of legends is truly frightening…”

Ilya didn’t know how long it had been since she had left the Mage Tower territory.

But last time, the covert confrontation and Tacro’s prophecy let her know that once they left the Mage Tower, something bad would happen.

“Ilya!”

Tacro rushed in, “A major incident has happened!”@@novelbin@@

“Did they find Phil?” Ilya asked anxiously.

“No…

The Mercenary Emperor Jupiter…

he…

finally died!” Tacro breathed out.

“Your Majesty…”

Ilya’s gaze became somewhat confused, “The life achievements of the Mercenary Emperor are undeniable.

His glorious merits will be remembered by future generations and sung by poets for centuries…”

“But…

he still died…

Such a hero, also could not withstand the ravages of time…” Tacro continued.

“This world is ours now!”
