“President, you're back!”

Fight Club Hall.

As soon as Donald entered, he saw two coaches applying medication with grimacing faces, and numerous students looking despondent. Only Angelia greeted him.

“What happened? I was only gone for a few days, how did Fight Club become like this?”

Donald asked doubtfully, “Did someone challenge us?”

“No!”

Angelia's bitter smile deepened: “It's my fault! I admitted a too 'genius' student. He's only been learning for two days and he's defeated Charlie and Baron…”

In her heart, the word 'genius' was not enough to describe Su Lu.

“Oh?” Donald became interested: “Interesting! What's his name?”

“Su Lu! Su Lu Pottery! ” Angilia replied.

Donald: “…”

'I wonder what his reaction will be when Donald hears about me after getting back…'

After having done his prank and returned to the dormitory, Su Lu felt somewhat exhilarated.

“Hi! Su Lu!”

Sean was there too, winking at him: “Breaking news, that Moli Aibo is in the library, seize the opportunity, brother!”

“Oh?!”

Su Lu was intrigued, casually tossing five Copper elves over: “Thanks! Did she do anything unusual today?”

“Nothing at all, if I had to say, it would be that her life is too regulated, I can guess what she's going to do next even with my eyes closed…

Sean looked regretful: “I absolutely don't want such a girl as my wife, it's simply a nightmare… But she seems to suit you!”

“I was originally planning to tip you, but it seems that won't be necessary!”

Su Lu said expressionlessly.

He knew what would upset this roommate the most.

“What? Tip… Ah, such a beautiful term… Su Lu, brother! I was wrong!” Sean instantly changed his tone, almost begging as he tugged on Su Lu's arm: “As long as you add five more Copper elves, I promise to find out what color underwear Catherine is wearing for you!”

“What use would I have for knowing the color of her underwear?” Su Lu was speechless.

“Oh, my mistake, it's Moli's!”

“I'm leaving!” Su Lu decided to head to the library instead.

Whether it was to start doubting Moli or looking for other information, he needed to make this trip.

“Is five Copper elves too much? We can negotiate, four! Three! I can't take any less…”

From behind, Sean's voice kept trailing on.

The Library.

Within St. George's University, it is the tallest building, constructed mainly with white marble, and it resembles a gigantic auditorium.

Walking through the wide main entrance and stepping on the smooth marble floor, Su Lu felt as if he had entered the land of giants.

As a regular visitor, he was very familiar with the rows of bookshelves, numerous tables and chairs, and studying students, and had a sense of kinship.

'It's only been a few days, and I've gone from being a regular at the library to a fighter and semi-connoisseur of the mysterious?'

Su Lu chuckled wistfully to himself.

Ever since he received the correspondence from his home town, Rod, his worldview was completely shattered, irreparable. His life trajectory also underwent a drastic change.

'Green Tree Castle did offer recruitment in September, with the university semester beginning in August, meaning I must move out of the dormitory by the end of July… It's only July now, so there is still some time…'

He thought to himself, passing through bookshelves labeled with Physics, Chemistry, and others, and came to a halt at the Religion and History section on the second floor of the library.

Previously, Su Lu had only gained a rudimentary understanding of geography, sanctioned history etc., and lost all interest in this area, diving straight into science instead.

But now that he needed to research about the mysterious, it was essential to first learn about history and religion.

'Moli should be in the library too, but there's no hurry…'

When it came to that shadow, even he, as he was now, didn't have much confidence.

Su Lu walked around the bookshelf and pulled out a book called “Overview of Religion”, and opened the first page: “Praise the great Seven Gods! Their glory illuminates the whole world!”

This was a religious book that introduces several mainstream beliefs in the world, collectively referred to as the 'Seven Gods' or 'Old Gods'. They are the tough characters that still stand strong after experiencing multiple Twilights of the Gods.

Especially the Goddess of Light, her church had the most power in the White Eagle Federation, with a good reputation, often hosting relief events and charity soirées.

“The world's mainstream seven beliefs are the Goddess of Light, Mother Earth Goddess, God of the Ocean, God of Flames, God of War, Goddess of Storms, God of Knowledge… Apart from these, any other beliefs are all heresies!”

The author of this book held a fiercely radical view, possibly a religious fanatic.

Su Lu shook his head, skipping over the large amount of meaningless praises and adorations to switch to another book, “Study on Folklore and Beliefs”.

“…In some barbaric and undeveloped regions, our expedition team discovered numerous bloodthirsty and evil beliefs… The local indigenous people worshipped 'Demons', held rituals full of the scent of blood… There is evidence that they indeed received some unthinkable abilities… But Dr. Kodo believed that it was the hallucinations caused by them taking a lot of hallucinogens…”

“Now this is a bit interesting…”

Su Lu flipped the pages, discovering that the following content had changed; it was clear that the author knew a lot, but couldn't disclose some things.

He read further: “…The Guniir Tribe in the tropical rainforest are a group of brutal savages, they worship death, and idolize the moon, believing the moon to be the dominator of death…Religious scripture verified, currently the Seven Gods do not possess the domain of the night, but many evil gods and false gods claim to represent the 'moon'…”

“Moon…”

Su Lu felt a chill in his heart, thinking back to the Creation of the Dead Princess ceremony he presided over, the cryptic phrase that was unwarranted—'In the name of the Moon!'

“No matter how you look at it, I seem to be in trouble…”

The corners of his mouth curved up in a wry smile: “Feels like I'm in a drama…where a fearless, troublemaking kid, to cover up a mistake, makes an even bigger one, ultimately resulting in a catastrophe…”

Su Lu continued reading, finding there was no more on the subject, it had switched to some island residents' feather worship content. He was annoyed: “Damn publishing house, cut out so much, how am I supposed to read this?”

After closing the book, Su Lu deliberately checked the author's name.

“Sunflower Publishing House, author is Kira Gales!”

He memorized the name quietly.

It was evident that Kira Gales was someone who had studied the mystical arts extensively, and made more discoveries in the current age of Transcendent wave.

“Even, he might actually be a Transcendent himself!”

Su Lu put the book back, when suddenly he startled.

Through the bookshelf, he saw a girl with glasses and freckles on her face: “Moli! Moli Aibo!”
