Twilight of the Gods!

An extraordinary low point!

Low-magic world!

These are all essentially the same concept, representing that the world does not welcome extraordinary power, and advancement and improvement will become extremely difficult.

Furthermore, not only will the use of various extraordinary abilities require more energy and be less effective, but even the lifespan of long-lived species will be terribly reduced!

For those who aspire to surpass others, such a world is terrifying!

Sulu glanced at the Attribute Panel and couldn't help but smile wryly, "Although my attributes have been weakened due to the injury, they should all be able to recover."

"However... while the levels of all skills and passive abilities remain, their effects are significantly reduced. Comparatively, abilities like language are weakened the least, followed by auxiliary skills such as potion and Wonder Item Crafting. The most severely weakened are various active destructive attack skills..."

According to his speculation, the formation of various spells and mystical powers in the Main World is roughly a process in which professionals use their skills to activate the mystical powers in the world, ultimately creating the spell's effect.

However, in this world, extraordinary factors in the void are scarce and extremely 'lazy,' offering no support whatsoever. So, the only option is for the professional to increase their own consumption, and even then, the effect might not be half of what it used to be!

"This is truly a sad fact..."

Sulu fell into deep thought, "I wonder how many layers of the Spirit World I'll be able to explore once my Inspiration is fully restored?"

Every world must have its own realm of Phantom Spirit, spirits, and Dream Spirit World!

Only in a higher Spirit World is it possible for them to converge and merge.

In other words, the higher the level of the Spirit World, the more expansive it is, and the easier it is to communicate with other worlds!

"To travel back in time, or explore other worlds, one needs at least the fourth level of the Spirit World... Thinking about that now is far too far ahead..."

Sulu looked at the items he had taken out again.

"Regarding Curio, their effects have been weakened, and the requirements for using them are now higher..."

He gripped the Demon Hunting Dagger tightly, feeling that even just based on its material, it was a rather formidable weapon.

Coo coo!

The next moment, Sulu's stomach started growling uncontrollably.

The bitter cold and the immense energy expenditure made him intensely nostalgic for his last meal, even though it was just steak and roast pigeon served at the inn, along with sweet, soft white bread, red wine, and a final, colorful fruit and vegetable salad...

But... no matter how carefully Sulu prepared, he never imagined he would end up like this!

Storage space is limited; storing some medicine is acceptable for emergency preparedness, but food...

Sulu gritted his teeth, picked up his Demon Hunting Dagger, went out, and brought back a Snow Rabbit.

The rabbit was large and strong, but it was quickly turned into food by his Inspiration detection and dagger strikes.

Night falls early on this icy plain.

Sulu lit a fire in front of the tent, roasting the Snow Rabbit he had just hunted on it.

This meat, which he named ' Snow Rabbit ', resembles a rabbit in appearance, but its meat has layers of snowflake-like texture. After being cooked for a short time, it releases an amazing aroma, making it feel like a premium beef.

Although there were no other ingredients, Sulu still had a great appetite.

Just as he was cutting off the last rabbit's foreleg, his Inspiration suddenly struck him, and he looked towards a certain corner.

In the darkness, two eerie blue lights appeared—it was the giant wolf from the daytime!

Although the range of Inspiration was much smaller than in the Main World, Sulu still carefully observed every part of the giant wolf at such close range.

Its silvery-white fur shimmered with a silky sheen under the moonlight; its limbs were long and powerful, and its claws and teeth were gleaming.

He was facing the fire, letting out a low growl.

It seems they were attracted by the scent, or perhaps it was a warning to intruders?

"It's much bigger than an ordinary wolf. Is this an isolated case or a common occurrence in this world? But judging from its appearance... it must have had extraordinary bloodlines. If it were from the Dawn of Gods era, it might even have awakened some magic-like abilities... It's a favorite of [Wolf Shepherd]..."

Sulu, bored, let his mind wander for a moment.

If he were at his peak and not in the Twilight of the Gods era, he might still be interested in subduing the other party for transportation.

But now?

He used his Inspiration to make contact, expressing a certain degree of goodwill and his intention to leave at dawn, and threw a piece of rabbit meat over.

The Icefield Wolf seemed to understand, howling a few times before slowly retreating into the darkness, without eating the food on the ground.

"It's truly spiritual..."

Sulu exclaimed in admiration and continued gnawing on the rabbit leg.

After eating and drinking his fill, he leaned against the tent, observing his Inspiration gradually returning.

'I wonder how Rhode is doing, but he has no criminal record, so it's unlikely he'll run into trouble...'

'To be honest, coming to this other world is both a bad thing and a good thing for me.'

Sulu felt he had committed too many crimes, and if the Federation caught him, he would definitely suffer a terrible fate.

Putting everything else aside, once his identity as the ' Black Knight ' is discovered, and he's connected to the Dream of the Ancient God and the Lori City incident, the pursuit of him will be no less intense than that for [Blasphemous Priest] Moran!

Despite being a fifth-tier professional and having the Ancient Serpent Society as an ally, their presence was still discovered, and with a swift and decisive strike, they were instantly reduced to nothingness.

How could I, a mere third-tier professional, possibly fight back?

Now that he's hidden in another world, divination is useless to him.

The true essence of divination lies in the interaction with the Dream Spirit World, and the Dream Spirit World is different in different worlds!

'It's a pity... this world is in Twilight of the Gods, but advancing to the fourth rank shouldn't be too much of a problem... right?'

'At that time, perhaps we can even uncover the truth of the world.'

Sulu has always been very interested in the recurring Spirit Tide, as they involve secrets related to the origin of the world.

Furthermore, this world may not be without an era of Supernatural Awakening, and the relics, treasures, and other artifacts left behind by the powerful during that period are all extremely valuable.

The danger has decreased; now is the perfect time to explore!

"Exploring other worlds is, after all, the defining characteristic of the [Planeswalker] class..."

One night passed.

The first rays of Dawn shone down.

Sulu rubbed his temples, and Inspiration flowed through him, finally breaking through the first barrier of the Spirit World.

In an instant, he saw the spirits wandering in the forest, and even more 'spirits' in the Phantom Spirit World!

"Arriving in another world, the language barrier is a problem... Fortunately, I have these spirits to communicate and learn from!"

Although most spirits are in a daze and cannot even maintain a human form, taking on various bizarre shapes, there are still some that can be communicated with.

Sulu rolled his eyes back and entered the Phantom Spirit World.

In an instant, everything around me became slightly unreal, and the world seemed to consist only of black and white and fluorescent light.

In the Phantom Spirit World, the number of living spirits is ten or even a hundred times greater than in the real world!

Sulu easily found a humanoid spirit.

The local Wisdom creature still appeared to be human, with red hair, deep-set features, and wearing tattered burlap clothes. Above its neck was a horrific severed head, and its right hand was clutching its head, its brown eyes staring blankly at them.

This is a decapitated person!
