St. George University was established in the 187th year of the Federal Calendar. Located in the picturesque suburbs of Nia City, it is affiliated with the Church of the Goddess of Light and primarily provides financial aid to students from impoverished backgrounds who possess excellent high school grades and a favorable disposition toward the Goddess of Light.
It covers a vast area, with male dormitories featuring two-person suites consisting of two single rooms, a washroom, and a small shared living room.
As soon as Sulu returned, he locked the door, lay down on his bed, and closed his eyes.
Activating the attribute panel today had simultaneously triggered the hidden memories of the original Sulu Portley, making him realize with a start that the original owner had a story of his own.
On the attribute panel, those passive skills, [Ancient Hebraic] and [Witch Hunting Knowledge], were certainly no joke!
It was just that the original owner seemed to have suffered some kind of trauma, causing him to selectively forget them.
During the time since he had transmigrated, he hadn't delved deeply into the original owner's memories.
It wasn't until today, as he fully integrated into this world, that he discovered the original owner's background was far from simple—he might even come from a family of transcendents!
Coupled with the terms mentioned in the letter from his brother, such as "Dawn of Gods" and "Tide of Transcendence," Sulu felt it was necessary to reorganize the original owner's memories.
Perhaps stimulated by the letter today, a massive amount of long-sealed memories surfaced, allowing Sulu to gain a deeper understanding of this world.
"Textbooks say our world has five continents and seven oceans, but that is actually incomplete... This world is infinitely vast, and what humanity has explored so far is perhaps not even one-tenth of it..."
"The Portley Family is a family of transcendents, generations of Witch Hunters, subordinate to the Church of the Goddess of Light..."
"In this world, transcendent power seems to have always existed, only fluctuating between peaks and troughs. During low-tide periods, many transcendent creatures hide and the gods fall into slumber, a time known as the Twilight of the Gods... Corresponding to this is the Dawn of Gods, when transcendent power revives! Throughout history, this cycle has repeated many times!"
The Twilight of the Gods did not mean that transcendent power had vanished, merely that it had fallen into a trough.
Therefore, even during the Twilight of the Gods, transcendents existed; the churches of the Seven Gods were the best proof of this.
"The last Twilight of the Gods began over three hundred years ago. The secular control of the seven Old Gods' churches fell to a low point, and the White Eagle Federation took the opportunity to rise."
"Sulu received orthodox Witch Hunter training from childhood. It seems his father wanted to groom him into a professional [Witch Hunter]. However, due to the Twilight of the Gods, various supernatural, horrific, and transcendent cases plummeted, leaving many Witch Hunters unemployed. Furthermore, becoming a true transcendent requires special rituals, which necessitate the participation of transcendent power and have specific environmental requirements... Sulu's father tried once and failed, even causing the death of Sulu's mother, which led to a rift between father and son. Sulu left his hometown in the countryside of Gusta State and came to Nia City—one in the east and one in the west, spanning almost the entire White Eagle Federation!"
"And then, he encountered my transmigration..."
Sulu suddenly opened his eyes: Such important memories, how did I ignore them before... Was it the original owner's obsession?
In reality, the parts concerning transcendent knowledge were only things the original owner learned as a child and were basically useless. As a Witch Hunter, with all the demons and monsters gone, what else could one do?
During his childhood, Sulu had only undergone some basic training. As for the legendary monsters and such, he hadn't seen a single one, and even he himself didn't believe in them.
Moreover, compared to the vast amount of memories, this part accounted for less than one percent, and because it seemed related to the original owner's obsession, it had been magnificently ignored by Sulu.
After all, he had always maintained an attitude of avoidance toward the original owner's family, and after roughly organizing some family information, he hadn't wanted to dig deeper.
It wasn't until today, under stimulation, that it all burst forth at once.
"Perhaps the true original owner still held an obsession pinned to these transcendent memories, but today, it was finally completely shattered by me... From today on, I am the real Sulu Portley!"
Sulu let out a long breath, his mind racing.
"Judging by today's letter, Tonks—my eldest brother—seems to have become involved in some extraordinary event and intends to ask for my help. Does it have something to do with that page?"
As for his plans? Returning was impossible. Even knowing the existence of a transcendent world, Sulu still wanted to continue his previous plan: first, achieve success and fame in mortal society.
As for transcendent power? Of course, he would have to study it in secret.
Sulu knew his own situation; as a world-class power, the White Eagle Federation's standing army and the might of its artillery and firearms were definitely not to be underestimated.
Even a transcendent might not be able to catch a bullet with their bare hands.
Furthermore, how could such a state-level power not have research on the transcendent?
The most direct proof was the Church of the Seven Gods!
Sulu had previously found it strange that the influence of faith in the White Eagle Federation seemed a bit too great, but now it was finally clear: they had true gods behind them, and even this level of influence was likely weakened by countless folds due to the three-hundred-year Twilight of the Gods!
Therefore, even with a golden finger, he still had to lay low for now.
"But I can't lay low for long. The Portley Family is a lineage of Witch Hunters who have served the Goddess of Light for generations. During the First Holy War, they followed a portion of the Church of the Goddess of Light members to settle in the White Eagle Federation. This is basically on record and can be found with a simple check..."
Sulu's face darkened: "If the spiritual energy is truly reviving... no, if the Dawn of Gods is arriving, the authorities will surely react quickly. This is troublesome. Should I secretly improve my strength immediately?"
He searched the attribute panel for a long time but found nothing like [Witch Hunter Bloodline], which left him somewhat disappointed: "Is it that I lack the talent and aptitude?"
Sulu summarized that the main content the original owner learned as a child was Ancient Hebraic and Witch Hunting Knowledge.
Ancient Hebraic was an archaic version of the current Common Hebraic, difficult and obscure. Witch Hunting Knowledge detailed some common monsters and ways to deal with them; the original owner had listened to them as horror stories back then.
As for how to perform rituals, advance in rank, and become a true transcendent, he was completely in the dark.
Even the original owner's father was only an amateur Witch Hunter, and the only time he tried to force an advancement, it ended in a massive failure.
"Transcendents..."
Sulu rubbed his chin: "The original owner's family at this time consists only of his father, Tonks, and his brother, Tonks... wait, his brother, Tonks... no, his brother, Tonks... it seems that in these four years, Tonks has made significant progress on the path of the transcendent... and he wants to come find me?"
A feeling of anticipation and fear suddenly welled up in his heart, leaving Sulu with a complex expression.
