The flock of ravens that covered the sky fluttered in the sky, but made no sound.
Their fluttering wings seemed to have no friction with the air at all. As spiritual creatures, their flight is instinctive, and flapping their wings is just a show.
Not long after, the group of ravens turned into spots of light all over the sky, and then merged into the ocean of spiritual rules and disappeared.
Except for Raven No. 0, which reappeared on the leader's shoulder after the light flashed, all the other ravens had left the Dawn Cave.
Everyone knew that these ravens, just as the leader said, had already brought invitations and tests to the selected people.
The organization is about to usher in rapid development and growth.
Chen Sheng and the seven others then lowered their heads and looked up.
"The next thing is the second thing."
"I said before that there are two serious things. The first thing is about the pet raven."
"And the second thing is about you."
After Chen Sheng spread out the endless ravens, his eyes turned to the people on the table in front of him.
His eyes were full of seriousness and seriousness.
Seeing this, everyone cheered up and waited for the leader's next words.
"I once said that as the first members of the fourth generation of Yongzhou, I will be very strict with you."
"Only those who have reached level 1 of spiritual power and have been approved by me in many tests can become a formal member."
"Just like the new members in the future will only be reserve members before they graduate from Dawn Academy, you will also be only reserve members until you get my approval."
"But it's different now."
Chen Sheng said and waved his hand.
He and the seven people present disappeared in the cafeteria of Dawn Cave Sky in an instant.
In the headquarters cave that is connected to it through a secret door that is always open, eight people and one crow appeared out of thin air.
Looking up at the hibiscus trees that cover the sky and the sun.
In addition to its indescribable majesty and splendor.
You can also feel the heat, warmth, warmth, hope, happiness... countless positive emotions coming towards you, calming down the excitement of the seven people.
In addition, there is an extremely powerful sense of spiritual presence, which is transmitted to their minds through their increasingly powerful spiritual perception at this moment.
As they grew stronger, they felt the power of the hibiscus tree more than before.
However, Bai Yu and others marveled at the leader's sudden and rapid power, and also marveled at every surprising place in the cave of the headquarters.
They have long appreciated and worshiped the power of leaders time and time again.
They have visited and learned about everything here long ago.
So although they are still amazed at the majesty here, they are more concerned about the words spoken by the leader now.
That "things are different now"...
Could it be that they have been recognized by the leader? !
Before they could think about it, Chen Sheng waved his hand.
A ball of fire embodying strong belief and will appeared in front of several people.
This is the functional configuration obtained from the secret realm and ruins "Then Become a Spark" - Spark.
Introduce according to the official description of the system.
[Xinghuo: This is the condensation of legends and the inheritance of beliefs. May all people become sparks under the leadership of the pioneers. 】
To put it simply, Spark has the [Link] function that allows remote chatting, and the [Baptism] function that can increase psychic resistance and spiritual will.
Although Bai Yu and the others didn't know the origin of the spark, they were naturally very familiar with it.
As the first members of the fourth generation of Eternal Day, they had already connected to Starfire, and then joined and used Starfire's chat function with no delay and strong signal.
This function played a crucial role in their eradication of Europa's criminal network and high-level scumbags.
However, because the state of mind was not strong enough, they initially did not use Starfire's other "baptism" function. It is said that that function can baptize and strengthen people's spiritual level.
Now seeing the leader summoning Spark again, several people looked confused.
Didn't you want to talk about being recognized by the leader as a formal member?
"I originally wanted to put the Spark and the Body Refining Tower in Dawn Academy."
"But considering that the newcomers don't need such a powerful chat function for the time being, they don't have enough mentality to bear another baptism function of Spark."
"Simply, I decided to leave Spark at the headquarters, under the hibiscus tree."
“Consider this as part of the investiture process for full members.”
As Chen Sheng spoke, he looked at the seven people beside him and said, "Go and be baptized. There will be a surprise."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then showed a hint of excitement.
As the leader says: Being baptized by the Spark is part of the process of becoming a full member.
Now it was clear what the leader meant.
They work hard to practice, work hard to develop peripheral forces in various places, and work hard to track down the intricate criminal network in the Europa zone...
Now, it is finally recognized!
And now, their state of mind has been elevated enough to accept the baptism of Spark.
Now as long as he has been baptized in the past and added a spiritual resistance buff, he will become an official member of Yongzhi.
Everyone looked at each other.
The feeling of finally being recognized for their hard work makes them excited.
As for the surprise mentioned in the second half of the leader's sentence, it is no longer important in their eyes.
The experience of going through life and death together for a long time made several people move towards the spark together with a tacit understanding.
If you need to queue up, the leader will definitely say so.
So they chose to come forward together to be baptized.
As several people stepped closer, a burst of intense light emitted from the sparks floating in the air.
The light spread and enveloped everyone including Bai Yu.
Baptism, begin!
Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes with relief and emotion, looking at the scene he had seen countless times when playing with Spark.
This kind of picture is different every time, and Chen Sheng himself can be deeply immersed in it.
Perhaps, this is the biggest gain after choosing "Then Become a Spark·We Live to Die" as the background story of the ruins.
…
But in the eyes of Bai Yu and others.
Everything around him disappeared instantly.
After the light shone over, the surrounding scene in the cave of Yongzhou Headquarters turned into a blank.
In a daze, Russell felt as if he had arrived in a strange and magical place.
Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed into a man's first-person perspective.
Blood sputtered in front of his eyes, and countless lives were ruthlessly abandoned once again.
The man from Russell's perspective is one of the people who executed the abandonment plan.
Lying on the bed in front of this man was a man with most of his body covered in black.
He raised the seemingly unsharp staff knife in his hand and slashed it down with a trembling but decisive move, killing the man in front of him whose face was half covered in black.
This is a companion who experimented with the power of the abyss, but it is obviously being eroded and assimilated at this moment.
For the safety of most of his companions, this man had to grit his teeth and deal with the companions who had been eroded and assimilated.
After that, this calm and scary man killed his companions with his own hands again and again.
Again and again, the man's arms stopped shaking.
But Russell, who was in his perspective, could feel how much unspeakable pain was hidden in the man's heart as he slashed again and again.
As the scene changed, Russell found that the man's perspective changed to lying down.
In front of this man, stood a man with tears in his eyes and a blade in his hand.
"I have taught you for so long, you should understand the importance of your responsibilities."
"Yes, I understand. I want to get rid of you before you are completely eroded and assimilated."
The conversation between the two people was very calm.
However, the content is so shocking that people can’t help but be stunned.
Now the position has changed, and the man in Russell's perspective is lying on the bed, resolutely becoming the experimental subject who died countless times under his own knife.
However, this man still faced his end calmly just like when he killed his companions.
While calm, there seemed to be some relief.
…
In addition to Russell, everyone else also has many different perspectives.
The so-called baptism is the inheritance of faith.
The experiences and beliefs of the pioneers will flash in the minds of those who undergo baptism.
They experienced fragments of the lives of pioneers with similar personalities to themselves, and experienced the spirit of those pioneers who were born to die.
Those sparks that started a prairie fire can sublimate new hope and lead those who come after to become sparks.
Soon, everyone was baptized after finishing.
But even though the images of the pioneers in front of them had disappeared for a long time, Bai Yu and others did not come back to their senses for a long time.
Witnessing the past of those seniors with their own eyes gave Bai Yu and others an unprecedented sense of belonging once again.
Admire, yearn for, and be honored...
There were so many emotions coming up that it was hard to put into words at the moment.
"Baptism, over."
Chen Sheng spoke slowly, his voice not loud but it could wake up everyone who was still immersed.
After this baptism, Bai Yu and others not only witnessed the past of the pioneers. In addition, the will of countless pioneers condensed in the sparks turned into a spiritual protection, blessing Bai Yu and others with resistance in terms of spirituality and willpower.
After coming back to their senses, Bai Yu and others looked at each other and fell into a long silence.
"Next, the second step for you formal members to be conferred is to take the oath, and the third step is to wait for the assigned department."
"But for those of you who have reached level 1 spiritual power level..."
"The second step is this."
As Chen Sheng spoke, a golden key appeared in his palm.
The key is not big, but it is covered with faint golden light particles and mist.
The overall look gives people an extremely mysterious and ancient feeling.
Seeing this, everyone swallowed.
Of course they recognize this.
This is the key to the secret realm!
If the raven is a benefit that all new members of Yongzhi have, the link and baptism of the Spark are the benefits that only formal members who graduate from Chenxi Academy have.
Then the key to the secret realm is a good thing that can only be used after reaching level 1 spiritual power level.
Using the key of the secret realm and consuming a certain amount of spiritual material, you can open a two-way portal between your location and the headquarters cave.
Although there is now a portal between the Dawn Cave and the Headquarters Cave that the leader often opens.
But the key to the secret realm still has important strategic value. It can allow members from all over the world to return to the headquarters instantly at any time. Opening the portal can also instantly allow people from the headquarters to come over for support.
Everyone stepped forward and took the key to the secret realm with serious expressions.
Holding back their desire to try, they integrated the key to the secret realm into their bodies and put it away. This spiritual treasure is like a raven and can be directly transformed into spirituality and integrated into their bodies.
"There is no rush to allocate departments for now. Although I have ordered the peripheral forces to start building branches around the world, there are only a few of you now, so there is no need to start allocating your respective departments."
"For the time being, you can work hard as teachers in the Dawn Cave, and then after the first batch of students graduates, we can allocate your places."
"So, in the end, there is only one process left, and that is the oath."
Chen Sheng looked at the people in front of him, his expression gradually becoming serious.
The originally planned process for the formal member investiture ceremony was: receiving the Spark link and baptism, taking the oath, and assigning departments.
However, these first batch of members are quite special. The process becomes: receive the baptism of Spark, receive the key to the secret realm, and take the oath.
Now, only the last oath remains.
Although compared to other processes, the oath generally has no substantive meaning.
However, the oath is actually the core of this investiture ceremony.
It has great significance on a spiritual level.
As soon as Chen Sheng thought about it, the hibiscus tree above his head immediately began to shine brightly.
Like the sun's essence, it is close to, integrated with, and shines on everyone.
Light shines from the tree canopy.
This light illuminated the seven members who were preparing to take the oath under the fusang tree.
Everyone faced the light that hit their faces, straightened their bodies, and tried their best to control the expressions on their faces into a solemn look.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Chen Sheng put the oath words and gestures he had been thinking about these days into everyone's minds.
During this period of time, Bai Yu and others, who had become extremely close to each other, just looked at each other, and then spoke together neatly:
"Those souls baptized by the flames of war will be integrated with the destiny of mankind."
"We are born to die today just to become the spark of mankind."
"Give light to mankind, just like the sun will always rise the next day."
The neat sound was deafening.
The leaves of the hibiscus tree swayed gently in the windless cave sky.
The names of several people are engraved on the branches of the hibiscus tree.
Chen Sheng looked at these guys who were clenching their fists and beating their chests with one hand, and couldn't help but feel a hint of relief on his face.
Looking at the energetic Bai Yu, Russell, Romero, John, Martha, Zhang Zihang and Owens, Chen Sheng felt that he had seen the future of the organization.
In the future, more people will swear an oath in front of him.
There will also be more people's names engraved on the hibiscus tree.
They may die, but their presence will always be remembered.
This is eternal day.
