Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

After the initial surprise, Xiao Yun was filled with doubt:

"Impossible. In alchemy, my teacher's talent and theoretical foundation are far superior to mine. There's no way my teacher couldn't understand something that I can understand."

"Unless... there are special conditions."

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then raised his head and handed the original [Descent Ritual] document to Jiang Shangzhen.

Jiang Shangzhen studied it carefully for a while, then shook his head again:

"We've gained nothing. Now, tell me what information you've received."

Xiao Yun nodded and told Jiang Shangzhen the information provided by the system.

After listening, Jiang Shangzhen remained silent for a while, then his eyes suddenly shone with a dazzling light.

"So, the most important thing about this ceremony is 'qualification,' then is it possible... that not understanding the ceremony means you don't even qualify to enter?"

Xiao Yun was shocked and his eyes lit up.

"Wait a minute, let me try."

As he spoke, he opened the guild channel and called out to Ji Mingyu, Wang Tianyuan, and Zhong Mo.

The two of them went out to farm points, while Ji Mingyu arrived quickly.

"Why did you call me?"

Ji Mingyu pushed open the door and saw a glowing sphere being handed to him.

"Try to see if you can understand it."

Xiao Yun nodded slightly, and Ji Mingyu glanced at him in surprise:

"My understanding of alchemy is probably less than your little wolf cub's, how could I possibly understand it... Wait a minute!"

Ji Mingyu narrowed his eyes and stared at the small ball in his hand for a while.

The runes and intersecting lines inside kept jumping around, and Ji Mingyu felt a surge of unfamiliar knowledge impacting his brain.

Soon, a pop-up window appeared, displaying a brief introduction to the [Descent Ritual].

Ji Mingyu's eyes flickered, filled with astonishment:

"This proves... I'm an alchemical genius?!"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

Xiao Yun chuckled, took the small ball from his hand, and waved his hand:

"This proves you're not human. Go away, you're none of my business."

"You're just jealous of my talent!"

Ji Mingyu glanced at him unhappily, but did not leave.

Based on the information he had just received, and Xiao Yun's act of summoning him, Ji Mingyu had already guessed the general situation.

"So, you called us here to test whether our 'qualifications' meet the necessary conditions for understanding the ritual?"

"Yeah, that's right, after all, we're a bit...special cases."

Xiao Yun smiled, his expression meaningful.

If even the forecast system can't detect it, then it must be qualified.

Ji Mingyu nodded, then suddenly smiled and said:

"Then I think you don't need to call Fatty and A-Yuan back."

"Oh? You think they're not qualified?"

"No, what I mean is that with their intelligence, they might not be able to understand it."

Xiao Yun chuckled, then after a moment of contemplation, called Gu Shen over.

After hearing Xiao Yun explain his purpose, Gu Shen held the glowing sphere, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"Qualifications, huh...hehe..."

Soon, he raised his head and read out the [Descent Ritual] information displayed on the system panel.

Xiao Yun nodded, and then called over Su Muqing, Huang Haoran, Kong Changhao, and Liu Lingling to try it out.

As expected, none of them could understand it.

However, there are also subtle differences.

"Mu Qing, Lao Huang, and the teacher couldn't understand it at all, but Chang Hao and Lingling could understand a little bit and knew that it was a [descent ritual], but they couldn't get the complete information."

The differences between the two sides are also very obvious—

Su Muqing and Huang Haoran both have A-level talents, while Kong Changhao and Liu Lingling have S-level talents.

"In other words, if S-rank talent has certain qualifications, then does the condition of contacting the [Descent Ritual] prove that... S-rank talent holders will almost certainly become 'demigods' in the future, that is, the second rank?"

"From another perspective, is it almost impossible for someone with A-level talent to become a demigod?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Yun's mind.

After a long silence, he memorized all this information and planned to move on to the next step.

Seeing that Xiao Yun was about to formally attempt the ritual, the three people who remained around him—Jiang Shangzhen, Ji Mingyu, and Gu Shen—all showed solemn expressions.

"This ritual is of extremely high status. Although it looks very simple and can be set up at will, it actually hides many pitfalls."

Jiang Shangzhen, with his extensive experience, immediately spotted the problem in the ceremony:

"If you want others to summon you, the chosen operating material and guiding word must be able to point to you."

Ji Mingyu nodded and added:

"This 'must' must be accompanied by a prerequisite—'uniqueness'. If there is even the slightest deviation, it may attract other entities."

Ji Mingyu's expression darkened slightly; he didn't really want Xiao Yun to perform this ritual.

He had previously received a summoning ritual that led to a certain being in the abyss when he checked in, but he never dared to try it.

For these strangers, Eternal Terra was too unfamiliar and too complicated; one wrong move and they could be killed without a burial place.

Gu Shen also put away his usual frivolousness and said seriously:

"I saw some information about the Advent Ritual in the Land of No Worries. You not only need to ensure 'uniqueness' and 'accuracy,' but also timeliness."

"If the ceremony lasts too long, it might attract something else..."

"Furthermore, if the ritual is interrupted, you, as the target, will also be affected, and the consequences... will be very serious."

Hearing everyone's reminders, Xiao Yun nodded, but did not change his mind about giving it a try.

With resources like the Tarot Club, the [Advent Ritual] can play a very significant role.

"Let's try it first, and we'll see if it works."

Seeing Xiao Yun's determination, the three of them didn't say much, but helped him determine the materials and guiding words.

"I suggest you use the ones that are only relevant to you—for example, your talent, preferably the trait you just demonstrated that allows you to understand and operate the ritual."

Jiang Shangzhen said.

"Talent is not necessarily unique, unless it is an S-level talent ranked in the top ten."

Gu Shen added a sentence.

Xiao Yun nodded and lowered his head in thought.

"In that case, we can rule out the [True Understanding of All Things] for now. What I have left are the inheritance of the system and the Blood of Eternal Flame."

"The system definitely can't be exposed because of this, so that leaves only the Eternal Bloodline Inheritance..."

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up; he felt it was very feasible.

"The Blood of Eternal Flame can only be inherited through relics, and in the present world of Eternal Terra, there is only this one relic that can guarantee that the recipient will be me!"

After hearing Xiao Yun's story, the others' eyes lit up.

"Looks like...it can be done!"

Once they had a clear idea, the four of them quickly came up with one idea after another.

"Using ashes as the base, blood as ink, and fire as the catalyst, the rune array for the ritual is drawn."

"Yes, the sacrifice is any fresh life, which dies in the flames, which perfectly fits the imagery of 'blood and fire' and 'birth and death'."

"And what about the introductory phrase? Or rather—your name!"

The three of them looked at Xiao Yun in unison, and pondered for a moment.

"Got it!"

Ji Mingyu's eyes lit up, and he spoke first:

"The inheritor of the eternally burning blood, the king of birth and death in the new century!"

Gu Shen nodded and said with a smile:

"The true dragon's keeper, a legend of resurrection."

Xiao Yun chuckled and looked at Jiang Shangzhen.

The latter pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head, smiled, and whispered:

"The Creator who glimpsed the embers of truth!"

After the three finished speaking, the entire Truth Bookstore trembled silently.

Meanwhile, in the area where the headquarters of Ideal State is located, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the magnificent sun appeared, its blazing light illuminating the earth.

Beneath the blanket of ice and snow, withered trees sprout leaves, and flowers and grasses bud.

This unusual phenomenon lasted only a few seconds.

Those who saw it simply exclaimed "Strange!", while those who didn't see it were naturally unaware of this unusual situation.

A few minutes later, Xiao Yun and his three companions emerged from the Truth Bookstore, carrying materials, ready to conduct an on-site verification.

Xiao Yun and Ji Mingyu arrived at the North Gate, while Jiang Shangzhen, along with Gu Shen, went to the South Gate to set up the ceremony.

The four of them created a small group chat in the guild channel for communication.

Jiang Shangzhen: "We're all ready here, and we can start anytime."

Ji Mingyu: "Received! I'm ready on my side. I'll take immediate emergency measures should any abnormalities occur."

Gu Shen: "Shall I begin?"

Xiao Yun: "OK!"

After Xiao Yun sent the last message, the entire group fell silent.

At the South Gate, Gu Shen took a deep breath, stood up, bit his finger, and began to draw runes on the ashes scattered on the ground.

"The inheritor of the eternally burning blood, the newly born King of Life and Death!"

"The True Dragon's Master, a Legend of Resurrection!"

"The Creator who glimpsed the embers of truth!"

As the last stroke was made, crimson flames spontaneously ignited, illuminating the entire magic circle.

Gu Shen chanted the guiding words in a low voice, his eyes reflecting the flames, which were dyed a crimson gold.

In the center of the magic circle, the Winter Feather Chicken struggled violently, its entire body slowly being consumed by flames.

"I beg you, come forth here!"
