Can't I Raise Myself? Chapter 29

A Magic Elixir combined with a ritual can temporarily open a channel between mortals and the Inner World, allowing them to hear the voice of a god. The god will then tell mortals what to do… Essentially, the power fed back by the god activates the six-pointed star formation, and the brilliance of the points determines one's talent.

The six points correspond to six levels of talent, also known as Six Stars.

If only one star can be lit, the magic talent is F, two stars is E.

And so on, with the highest being A.

But A isn't the upper limit of talent, just the theoretical testing limit.

"Great Mother of Life, Sun that nurtures all things, With your selfless embrace and supreme might, you shatter the hidden darkness and calamities of the world, guiding the lost with the dawn for the devout...

...At this moment, with loyalty and reverence in our hearts, we seek a corner of your great power, To wash away the dust, and reveal our true selves...

From this day forth, we shall tread the path of light, loyal to the Sun, offering you the world's most praiseworthy songs...

—May life be eternal! May the Sun be eternal!"

"May life be eternal! May the Sun be eternal!"

Jack knelt down, cheering along with Jonathan.

The next moment, a blinding light erupted from the six-pointed star formation. Ryan felt something and gulped down the golden liquid in the bottle.

Hot.

So hot.

It was like scalding hot water sliding into his mouth, burning down his throat. The searing pain made Ryan almost cry out.

That stream of heat surged into his body. He could clearly feel the heat finally gathering in his heart, igniting a flame there.

Thump-thump~

Thump-thump~

Thump-thump~

His heart beat powerfully.

The power to tear reality and illusion from each other pulled at Ryan's soul, leaving him unable to think, only feeling like he was in a chaotic space.

Whoosh!~~

Golden fire blazed from the formation, illuminating the entire room.

"Mr. Jonathan, wh-what's going on?" Jack asked in surprise.

He had also undergone a magic talent test, but he remembered nothing like this happening.

"I don't know either."

Jonathan's expression was grave. A magic test wasn't supposed to involve directly consuming magic, so there shouldn't be any life-threatening danger. But the current situation was beyond his understanding.

Even he could feel the threat from that golden fire. Could an ordinary person who hadn't even entered the supernatural realm withstand this?

But Ryan wasn't burning to death. Jonathan's gaze fell on the six-pointed star, and he saw one of its points suddenly light up.

"It lit up! The six-pointed star lit up!" Jack exclaimed.

As long as the six-pointed star was lit, it meant one had the qualification to become a Supernatural Being.

But this was just the beginning. Soon, the second star was lit, then the third, fourth... Jonathan's breathing gradually became heavy. The higher the star count, the better the talent. Four-star talent was already quite good, theoretically allowing one to become a fifth-tier Supernatural Being.

"Five stars! Mr. Jonathan, five stars!"

Jack shouted.

"I see it, I see it... Don't rush, calm down, just calm down." Jonathan really wanted to light a cigarette to calm himself, but he just patted his pocket without taking any further action. Then, his expression froze on his face.

The six-pointed star formation was completely filled with golden flames, and five of its points were lit.

And the sixth star seemed to be gradually lighting up.

"Could this kid really become a chosen one?" Jonathan exclaimed inwardly, then turned to Jack and said, "Go guard the outside. Don't let anyone in."

"Huh? Go now? But Captain Ryan still..."

"It's almost over. I can feel the power of the ritual fading. A five-star talent, we've really struck gold with the Burning Covenant."

Jack hadn't recovered from his shock yet. He numbly walked to the door, and only hurried to open it and go out after Jonathan urged him again.

"Absolutely no one must know!"

Jonathan stared at the formation. Less than half a minute after Jack left, the sixth star lit up as he had expected.

"Six stars... Magic talent A! Holy crap!" Jonathan swore. "If this isn't the Son of the Sun, then who is?"

Son of the Sun was a profession, but it could also represent a title under the path of the Sun, such as someone with the strongest magic talent who walked the path of the Sun.

"Damn, this kid is too scary. Good thing no one else saw."

Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief. If not for the operation to attack the Hand of Darkness stronghold last night, there might have been more people in the room right now.

It wasn't that he didn't trust his subordinates, but it was better for fewer people to know about such secrets.

That kid Jack is quite naive. If I give him a good warning, he shouldn't blabber about it everywhere.

"Isn't it over yet?"

Looking at Ryan standing amidst the flames, Jonathan wasn't anxious anymore. He took out a cigarette and lit it, letting his rapidly beating heart slow down.

"Damn, that was too thrilling."

At the same time.

Ryan found himself in a mysterious, unknown Inner World space. In front of him, a mysterious, unknown person appeared – a woman.

But why did this woman seem to be naked?
