Transcendent Dawn

Varen was in the workshop, staring blankly at a few sketches.

Feiqi pushed the door open, his face somewhat pale.

“Are you alright?”

Varen asked with concern.

“I’m fine.

Several bishops from the Appraisal Office now believe I’ve cleared my name…” Feiqi didn’t take off his coat, “What about you?

Did you find that woman?”

“No…

It’s like the other party is invisible, without any information…

That’s impossible.”

Varen shook his head, “I suspect…

perhaps she is a high-level spy trained by the Freedom City-States Federation…”

And the Secret Realm has also disappeared.”

Feiqi clapped his hands, “The only valuable intelligence we’ve gained so far is the portrait of the man known as ‘Turing’ within the Storm Manor.

You have no idea how rich the implications behind this clue are.”

“Hmm?

What’s the problem?” Varen was somewhat surprised.

“That Turing, too common.

We got his entire background from the Freest Kingdom, and apart from suddenly disappearing more than a decade ago, his life is too ordinary, so ordinary that it’s impossible for him to suddenly run off to Storm Manor and then make a ‘prophecy’…”

“Maybe in those missing ten years, he became a Transcendent.” Varen shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s not out of the question, but I know a historical scholar of obscure fields, who has different opinions.

Haven’t you noticed I haven’t even changed my clothes?

Let’s go!”

Feiqi pulled Varen out of the laboratory and onto a carriage.

“To the slums, White Phosphorus Street, number 60.”

Feiqi instructed, and the carriage began to move.

“I say…” Varen scratched his head, “The ‘historical scholar’ you’re talking about, he lives in the slums?”

“Yes, his name is Uzwich Polundo.

He used to be a member of the Appraisal Office within the church, responsible for studying some historical documents…”

Feiqi replied.

Appraisal Office!

This department holds great power in the Church of the God of Knowledge, as it is tasked with examining the church’s own members, excluding those who have been ‘tainted’ or whose ‘spiritual faith is lacking’.@@novelbin@@

Working in such a department, even as a regular member, is not to be underestimated.

“Then why…” Varen began to ask.

“Because he developed some mental issues himself, so he was kicked out…” Feiqi shrugged his shoulders.

“You want me to go inquire a madman?” Varen’s gaze was incredulous.

“No, he’s a normal person most of the time, it’s just when you talk about ancient history that he becomes obstinate…

I happened to come across him when I mentioned the name ‘Turing’, he was very interested…”

Feiqi replied.

As they chatted, the carriage had already stopped in a shanty area.

Feiqi paid the coach fare and asked the carriage to wait nearby.

He then led Varen to a wooden hut with the number 60 nailed to the door and knocked.

Bang!

The wooden door opened, and a white-haired, old-faced white male with a reddish, bulbous nose looked over—it was Uzwich Polundo.

“It’s Feiqi, come on in.”

He invited the two into the living room, “Would you like a glass of Flame Red Lips?

I love its taste the most!”

“No, I don’t drink during the day,” Varen politely declined, looking down on the historian a bit more.

“Mr.

Uzvizh, you should know why we’re here.”

Feiqi cleared his throat, “You told me earlier that you had made a significant discovery concerning ‘Turing’!”

“History is a fog, I can only see the limited truth.

Many recorded tablets have been lost in the long stretch of history…

I particularly want to find an Acute Angle Monument, but according to later people, they have long lost their Strength and have become ordinary slabs…

However, they touch upon a prehistoric civilization, a Brilliant and splendid era—the Ancient Su Lu Mythology!”

Uzvizh’s eyes seemed a bit lost, “That was the time when the gods walked the earth, the very first creator resided on the Holy Mountain…”

“Ahem…”

Varen coughed, obviously taking it as nonsense from a drunkard, “We’re just looking for clues to Turing…”

“Oh, yes, young people nowadays are always in such a hurry!”

Uzvizh took a swig of strong liquor, climbed the stairs, and threw down a massive book that was almost falling apart.

Thud!

Dust flew up everywhere, making Feiqi and Varen cover their noses and mouths.

“The name of Turing…

quite interesting!

Have you ever heard of the very beginning of human history?” Uzvizh suddenly asked.

“Of course, the glory of the Mercenary Emperor and the Great Magic Emperor, who could forget it?” Varen replied, “However, from today’s perspective, they were probably just powerful ‘Apostles’!”

“Heh heh…”

Uzvizh scoffed, “So, these two Great Emperors suddenly rose to power, and even if they themselves possessed the guise of Great Emperors, who taught them?”

“?”

Varen had a puzzled look on his face.

He was searching for a mechanical mentor from the past few decades, what did that have to do with the history of the Mercenary Emperor?

“Ahem…

The Mercenary Emperor rose from the earliest city-states, perhaps his teacher was his own father…

As for the Great Magic Emperor, he was originally known as one of the three Magic Inheritresses, and their teacher, perhaps was an Apostle?” Feiqi guessed.

“Wrong!

All wrong!”

Uzvizh’s eyes shone brightly, and he slammed his hand down on the book, “I’ve searched a lot about the deeds of these two Great Emperors, particularly their court records, where they each lamented their teachers…

Would you like to know?”

Without waiting for Varen and Feiqi to answer, he flipped the ancient book open, “Look…

at the red line I’ve marked.”

Varen and Feiqi exchanged glances and looked down.

Immediately, they stiffened, as if they had been shocked or had seen something incredible, “The Mercenary Emperor’s teacher…

was a Sage called ‘Turing’?

And the teacher of the Great Magic Emperor too was called Turing?

No…

That’s impossible.”

“History is but a little girl to be dressed up by anyone…

And a black hand has always penetrated our era, influencing it at some pivotal nodes!”

Uzvizh said, “Humans are nothing but insignificant beings, merely passive recipients of deception…

This is my view of history, which led to my expulsion from the Appraisal Office…”

“Evidence, we need evidence!”

Varen’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, but he still asked somewhat calmly, “Do you have any evidence to support your claims?”

“No…”

Uzvizh spread his hands, “I have not a shred of evidence, only guidance from a great existence, which let me know some truths…

But even this book has been appraised as ‘doubtful’…

Yet I believe that my research is definitely correct.”

“A great existence?

Is it not the Wise Sage?”

Hearing his argument, Varen and Feiqi looked at each other, their hairs standing on end instantly.
