Chapter 375: Chapter 0375: A New Beginning (More Updates, Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Truth be told,

With his profession promoted to level 5 and a deepening understanding of mysterious knowledge, Su Lu feels contemptuous towards professions like [Sacred Warrior].

The gaze of a great being cannot be dispelled, at most it can only be replaced by another one.

Such a process is full of contradictions and violent conflicts, especially when happening on a vulnerable spiritual body.

The fate of Beryl was a clear example.

Despite his careful planning, he was still reduced to an idiot in the end!

Moreover, given the rare opportunity to fully manipulate the spiritual body, it was hard not to meddle.

For instance, he set Beryl up as his servant.

According to the classics, the legendary Demon Hunters like [Sacred Warrior] and [Guardian of God] were becoming increasingly cold, indifferent to their families, and fanatically devoted to the Goddess, which were all likely effects of their influence.

In contrast, the Abyss Demon does not require faith, it simply wants to spread fear and chaos!

Even, it might just regard this world as a game!

“The soul is the most fundamental thing. When you establish a contract with one great being, and then with another, are you not scared of your soul splitting?”

Su Lu laughed, sharing some of his speculations, and unsurprisingly saw Anfi turn pale.

She still wanted to follow the path of becoming a [Sacred Warrior].

But now, the thought of being diligently replaced by an unfamiliar, cold personality sends shivers down her spine.

“Alright, considering our current situation…”

Su Lu’s fingers interlocked, staring at Rod: “You should rest for a while, carefully assimilate the demon power you obtained recently, don’t try to promote any further… unless you want to become a real [Hell Demon], just ignore what I said.”

Rod’s previous situation was actually somewhat self-destructive.

With his parents and younger brother missing, he was left all alone, crazily enhancing his strength, seeking revenge.

In reality, he had already lost a major portion of his mental fortitude, hence he chose the path of a [Fallen].

The only thing that kept him from completely falling might be Anfi.

‘In fact, Rod had pretty much fallen, his reason barely hanging on, at a critical threshold…’

“You don’t need to take on too much responsibility, after all, I am now level 5, I will carry the rest.”

Su Lu stated firmly: “In addition… I will also look into our parents’ whereabouts.”

Of course, he said so, but at least until he reaches level 7, Su Lu doesn’t even consider exploring the Abyss.

“Alright then…” After a long silence, Rod finally spoke in a hoarse voice, as though relieved of many burdens.

“Great, the issue we need to address now is your problem.”

Su Lu spoke indifferently: “I’ve already eliminated those members of Organisation Black Light… there will be no leaks, it’s just that the church has already started to suspect you.”

He was annoyed with the plot in art works from his previous life where the protagonist always arrived just in time.

So, after receiving the telegram, he used his Spirit World Traversal ability to save the day. Even before Rod had taken action, those lackeys of Organisation Black Light had been overpowered.

Even if the Organisation realised what he had done, they are unlikely to seek revenge, let alone with their current unawareness.

But the power of the Goddess Church is different!

Even if it’s just a legend, it cannot openly confront the church.

“So…” Rod fidgeted uneasily, he was acutely aware of the power of the church.

“So, you have to go into hiding for a while, at least until you can defend yourself…”

Su Lu spoke indifferently.

Without Fifth-order bits, it would be easy to trace using divination magic, which would be too dangerous.

Perhaps, previously, Rod was regarded as just a minor inconvenience that did not cause particular attention, but now, after Su Lu’s intelligence has been spread, it’s a whole new situation.

At present, Su Lu can also take certain anti-divination measures like giving a high-order Marvel to Rod. However, it’s better to develop his own ability to protect himself first.

“It seems like you’ve already got a place in mind.” Rod laughed: “Just tell us straight up…”

“What about the Chris Empire? The power of the Church of the Goddess of Light isn’t exactly strong there… Even though other Orthodox Churches similarly detest demon worshippers, none of them are as resolute as the Church of the Goddess of Light.” Su Lu suggested: “Also… I intend to establish a trade route between the Old and New Continents. Using my power!”

“Spirit World Traversal?” Rod nodded: “So you also need an agent over there?”

“Something like that.”

Though he also had the idea to venture into the business at the edge of the world, the Dark Continent, Su Lu had no connections or resources there and had to reconsider.

In any case, even just connecting the trade routes between the Old and New Continents was profitable enough, considering the instantaneous smuggling of goods.

The only thing limiting his profit was the amount he can carry.

“I’m in.”

Rod immediately replied: “Just right… I wanted to take a look at the Chris Empire.”

He turned to look at Anfi on the side.

“This… Maybe… I can also go along.” Anfi bowed her head.

“Very good. I’ll take you guys over later.”

Su Lu spread his hands apart, the table was covered with piles of gold and silver coins: “The Chris Empire is an absolute monarchy, where all power is in the hands of the emperor and the noble parliament. I’ve exchanged some of the precious metal currency used there. You need not worry about it, the priority is to ensure your own safety. Gradually get involved with the local transcendent circles, I’ll send over supplies regularly.”

What he intended to do was the mystical business involving transcendent materials, magical items, professional information, and so on.

Otherwise, just running a wireless company is enough to last him a lifetime.

And in terms of value, some transcendent material are much more valuable than gold of the same volume.

After all, the mystical output of the two continents are different, and there is a significant profit to be made from the differences in price.

Chris Empire, Northern Province.

After another dizzying experience, Rod looked around at the surroundings and the snow-capped peak in the distance, his mouth wide open in shock: “This… Isn’t this outside the Federation’s jurisdiction?”

“Does it… feel a bit unreal?”

Anfi also wrapped herself tighter in her fox fur coat.

“This is a marginal area of the Empire, with convenient transportation and mixed faiths. I chose it specifically for its suitability for hiding…”

Su Lu said: “Also… even though the Federation on the other side of the strait is already in chaos, even had to come up with the ‘Occupational Registration Act’, here everything remains the same, the existence of transcendent power is still refused… this is a secret only known to top-level officials.”

“What? How is that possible?” Anfi couldn’t help but ask.

“Why is it impossible? A single information control order is enough to block all the ‘rumours’ outside the ocean…”

Su Lu grinned; after all, it was a world that had just started using telegraphs: “As for the language used here, I believe you can learn it very quickly… I will come to visit you from time to time.”

“Is this… our new life?”

With his black coat and thick wool hat on, Rod was staring at the snowy scene not far away, his tone absent as he spoke to himself.
