The Place Where Everything Begins

Pertaining to the ritual ceremony Jeremy would be practicing soon was categorized in the majority's one, which had four components like any other ritual.

Currently, Jeremy was inscribing something once again, but this time, he did on another animal leather, which he had just brought out from the left glove.

*Scribble*

*Scribble*

The scribbling noises resounded out faintly within the tent...

'Alright, this one is also done... Ritual 0-35 for a sacrificial ceremony...'

Jeremy thought to himself after seeing a circular diagram shone up with bright light.

The Diagram ahead of him right now went by the name of Ritual Diagram 0-35, which should have a definite purpose for offering and exchanging things with a receiver.

For the Diagram's appearance, it looked straightforward and plain with one extensive circular line as an outer layer and four small circles situated at the top, bottom, left, and right side within the curve.

From the looks, the four small circles should be where the runes would be input in, as Jeremy had left it empty at the moment.

Regarding the name of Ritual 0-35, it was clear that the ritual was of the very lowest rank because the first number, which was 0, signified it was a tier-0 ritual. Meanwhile, the number 35 indicated the ritual series, which was 35.

Thus, when compared to the Enchantment 2-633, which Jeremy had used to create his staff, they were undoubtedly on a different level altogether.

After a few seconds...

The light from the inscription had finally died down, leaving only a dull white glow on the leather's surface.

Then Jeremy thought about the following process,

'Next, inputting runes; five for each circle which makes it twenty lowest-tier runes...'

At the time when he was in this house basement, Jeremy had to spend a hell-like 2 hours to enchant the Forsaken Branch by relying on Enchantment Diagram 2-633.

In the process, Jeremy had used approximately 40 mL of mana fluid from the bottle to inscribe the runescripts comprised of more than 933 low-tier runes and 4 middle-tier runes.

Even with the aid of mana fluid at the time, it could be said that Jeremy's sea of consciousness was spent and shaken so badly in the process of inscribing those moderately high-level runes.

However, it was unquestionably different now as Jeremy didn't draw a tier-2 diagram this time, but a tier-0 diagram instead of which only required twenty lowest-tier runes to create.

The difference between the two diagrams was like heaven and earth...

'To be safe, let's draw them in the air and use my mind power to control them. Hopefully, it wouldn't be a big problem for my current damaged sea of consciousness...'

At this time, the glowing light on the leather's surface finally became stable and didn't dim down anymore...

Without further delay, Jeremy picked up the transparent crystal, aka mystic shell, from the ground.

Afterward, he placed the 'shell' on the animal leather's middle area. Then he started inscribing the lowest-tier runes in the air as both of his index fingers wrote different runes simultaneously.

It was such an everyday feat for Jeremy now...

In the future, he might even upgrade his 'runescribing' to a higher level by writing four runes using four fingers simultaneously. But such a thing would only happen after arriving on Ortus...

Right now, Jeremy's fingers moved slowly left and right in the air, creating the afterglows trailing after his fingers until they gradually formed into the shape of runes.

Not even ten seconds later...

Jeremy finally finished his first two runes at almost the same time as the two runes became complete at this moment and were now shining moderately bright lights to the surroundings.

Then with some manipulations of Jeremy's mana techniques and mind power, the white glowing runes floating in the air started drifting onto an empty area of the animal leather.

Right after the runes got nearer to the brown leather, their size suddenly shrank down considerably to fit inside a small circle within the Diagram.

Then the two glowing runewords eventually came down and attached themselves inside the circle. Afterward, they started dimming down significantly, but they still shone the dimmed lights out from the leather's surface, signifying the two runes were still working properly.

Simultaneously, Jeremy didn't even cast a single glance towards the animal leather as his liquid blue eyes were fixing in focus at the two new runes in front of him.

Evidently, Jeremy had already started inscribing another two lowest-tier runes...

Efficiency was Jeremy's specialty after all...

Almost two minutes later...

*Whoosh* *Whoosh*

The last two runes were finally completed as Jeremy retracted his hands back and used his mind power to control the runes silently.

At this time, the two floating runes suddenly shrank down several times and slowly moved towards the leather's surface.

Shortly after the two runes attached themselves inside the Ritual Diagram 0-35, the entire Diagram promptly lit up brightly once again.

The Diagram on the animal leather looked very complete as it now depicted and portrayed various shining runes in different shapes and sizes.

Furthermore, all the lines, four circles, and twenty runes were acting as a solid core, which had rendered a tidy and graceful diagram with no rune being inscribed outside of the four circles at all. 

Upon seeing the ritual Diagram shining with light, Jeremy smiled slightly in contentment. Then he opened his mouth to mumble words in a ritualistic language.

The mumbling voice, in a bizarre mystical language, had promptly resounded out from Jeremy's vocal cords sonorously...

...

Go forth, collect and absorb

The Universe's greatest figure

Watchers of Time

Circles of Stone

Silent guardians

Ortus' bones

O' Nature, our father

We are his children

In the name of Ortus' spirit

Perceive the offer and earn it

Trade of the Equal

Thou shall request

Thee shall accept

Thine aid over space

Symfo̱nía!

...

At the end of the incantation, Jeremy's voice rang out echoingly within the quiet chamber. Meanwhile, his eyes seemed to shine brilliantly with a blue glow in the same color as mana....
