I, Lord of Prayer

(The previous chapter was inexplicably blocked, so I'm reposting it.)

Yang slapped his forehead, realizing he'd completely forgotten this kid was a total newbie, probably still not even understanding the ranks of Ascended Beings. 💔🐉 ➅❾ˢⓗⓤＸ.Ćσ𝐦 💔🍓

Thinking of this, he felt even more bitter. He had worked like a slave for that old vice president for so many years, and in the end, he hadn't gotten a single forbidden item, while this kid had only been an Ascended for a few days and had already gotten a C-grade forbidden item.

Should I seriously consider changing jobs?

It's like playing a mobile game where you go through countless hardships and spend a fortune trying to get the characters you want, only to end up with nothing. Just when you're about to look at some risqué pictures in a group chat to console yourself, a newbie posts a screenshot of a successful pull – the item in the screenshot is exactly what you've been dreaming of. The newbie also very politely asks, "I got this! I'm asking because I don't know anything about it. Is this amazing, guys?"

My blood pressure spiked immediately.

Yang, feeling dejected, reached for a cigarette, then suddenly realized he was in the medical ward, where smoking would result in a fine. He reluctantly gave up, instead pulling a banana from the fruit basket and peeling it as he spoke:

"Simply put, alchemy is a kind of extraordinary power that can be described as a panacea."

In the early days of the new era, as humanity recuperated and restored its technological advancements, a considerable number of scholars began to study and research the extraordinary field of alchemy, achieving great success.

Later, in the 16th year of the Gregorian calendar, the No. 7 restricted area was reopened, a year that marked a major turning point in the history of alchemy.

—Due to the flow of time and many other reasons, the humans in Forbidden Zone 7 allocated all their skill points to alchemy, thus developing an extremely sophisticated alchemical system that far surpasses the rudimentary alchemy created by the scholars of the Star Guild. 👤♩ 6➈丂Ⓗ𝐔᙭.ⒸＯᵐ ♥👌

After Peace took over the No. 7 Forbidden Zone, the Stars Society obtained complete knowledge of alchemy. After research and discussion among many high-ranking officials and scholars, it was decided to integrate alchemy into a discipline and open corresponding courses in high-end universities around the world to train professional alchemists.

Now, alchemy has become an indispensable force in this world.

After digesting the information, Zhou Chen asked in confusion, "Why is alchemy never mentioned at all in Jinzhu University?"

I'm afraid I went to a fake university.

"A top-tier university, you understand?"

Yang scoffed, "Jinzhu University is a damn high-end university. You don't even have the most basic source material science, and you have no intention of cultivating your students into extraordinary fields."

Only world-class universities teach important knowledge, including alchemy, and they do not allow it to be disseminated.

Alchemy is a dangerous thing, and its misuse can have serious consequences. You wouldn't want to randomly encounter someone on the street who can conjure explosives with their bare hands, would you? Or would you rather see a deranged alchemist fuse a little girl and a dog together?

Zhou Chen quickly shook his head; that was too frightening.

"In short, alchemy is a very high-level discipline. To those who don't understand it, it's no different from 'magic.' Alchemists are all superior people, even higher in status than Ascended Ones."

Yang ate the last piece of banana, threw the peel into the trash can, stroked the stubble on his chin and thought for a moment, "Speaking of which, if an alchemy master were to help you, your symptoms of a fragmented soul could be easily cured... but that idea is a bit unrealistic, the chances of you healing yourself after advancing to the third rank are not as high."

"What?"

Zhou Chen sat bolt upright, staring wide-eyed at Yang: "What do you mean by 'self-healing after advancing to the third tier'? A damaged soul can heal itself?"

"Once you reach the third stage of the Ascended - Golden Soul, both your physical body and soul will undergo a qualitative change. Even if only a tiny bit of your soul remains, it can gradually recover. With the help of medicine, secret rituals, and other things, healing a broken soul is not that difficult... I beg you, please go and look at the information quickly." Yang couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Chen scratched his head awkwardly and smiled sheepishly: "Please understand, I was locked up in the research department for five days. All I did was experiment, train, and sleep. I was sent on a mission as soon as I got out. I just woke up. I didn't have any time."

Yang sighed and said helplessly, "Fine, I happen to have some free time now, so I'll just chat with you about it."

"First of all, the first stage of the Ascended is called 'The Stars,' that's where the name of the Stars Society comes from. It has a lot of meaning, you can go back and check the official website yourself."

—When an ordinary person awakens to become an Ascended Being, they can enter their own spiritual world. The stars in this spiritual world represent the Ascended Being's spiritual will and are also a projection of the soul, allowing one to observe the state of the spirit and soul.

"Once you successfully advance, you will reach the second stage of the Ascended: the Silver Sea. At this stage, the Ascended's spiritual power, source essence reserves, extraordinary abilities, and other aspects will be greatly enhanced. The spiritual world will no longer be the starry sky, but a pure white ocean composed of spiritual and soul power."

"The third stage is what I just mentioned, the Golden Soul. It is transformed from the Sea of ​​Silver and condenses into a brilliant golden soul. At the same time as the soul undergoes a qualitative change, the physical body will also undergo earth-shattering changes, completely breaking away from the inherent limitations of the human body and truly transcending humanity."

"The fourth stage - the uncrowned one. The ascendants at this stage are equivalent to mythical creatures. They have extremely long lifespans and will also possess even more terrifying power."

"As for the fifth-tier, coroned king..."

Yang said solemnly, "I don't know."

"Huh?" Zhou Chen was stunned.

Yang shrugged: "All information related to the Fifth Order Coroned King is top secret. I really don't know the specifics. I only know that they are so powerful that they can trigger natural disasters with a single thought, and they can also dispel natural disasters. They can manipulate the rules and control fate. They possess unimaginable power and are only one step away from being true gods."

"...Gods?"

Zhou Chen was stunned. "Do gods really exist in this world?"

"Yes," Yang replied affirmatively, lowering his voice, "and according to rumors circulating in the shadows, the gods seem to be involved in the end of the old era."

It is related to the end of the old era...

A multitude of guesses suddenly popped into Zhou Chen's mind. Before he could continue his brainstorming, he heard Yang say, "Now that we've covered all the stages of the Ascended Ones, let me tell you about meditation."

"Okay, go ahead." Zhou Chen snapped out of his reverie and listened attentively, almost taking out a notebook to write it down. This was the experience of a senior, much more useful than trying to learn by himself.

Yang cleared his throat: "So-called meditation, simply put, is to empty your mind and enter a special deep sleep state. In this state, the recovery speed of physical strength, spirit and source essence will be greatly accelerated, and it can also play a role in training mental strength and source essence."

When you exit the meditative state, you will not feel tired, but rather refreshed.

According to research data from Johns Hopkins University in the Americas, one hour of meditation is equivalent to three to four hours of normal sleep. Therefore, many unscrupulous capitalists want their employees to learn meditation so they can enjoy the "blessing" of endless overtime.
