Chapter 9 - DMT 9 - The Altar

The question he asked actually made sense to a lot of people. they had just been told a lot of information but they still needed to know, if while ascending the realms for some reason they couldn't climb any more what will be the future prospects they can actually look forward to. Shuchi looked at him, thought for a while and spoke in a lighter tone than before" A good question, Well you see stations are maintained by an organization called CNC, they are responsible for maintaining every station. They are the force that has control in 7 realms that favorable in habitat . The administrator of the realm allowed the CNC to have a contract with them and manage everything for them under minimum supervision.

You will usually be able to work with CNC when you get off the train after the initiation and if you reach the upper realms. your ranks in the different ranking lists will determine you role and capacity in which you would be able to serve. The CNC will issue you a token that will be valid in any realm till the 7 realms and you will be able to use it, to either serve them or any other organization you are invited to.

Yes, you will be contacted by many local organizations when you are on the ranking list as your skills will be useful to them. There are several elite organization's operating in the 7 realms that will recruit you as you keep climbing the realms. you don't have to worry about all that right now, as you start to travel you will receive the information in your halo watch as well, and you can use the server of the CNC to access more information as well. 

As for the other question, if anyone has ever climbed the tower, Shuchi closed her eyes remembering someone and spoke in a reminiscing tone , it is said that there are actually 9 climbers that have climbed and each of them has one realm of their own. which open in upper realms. If you get a chance to visit them, it will give you immense benefits and advancement if they are pleased by your efforts . Most of them don't intervene with the workings of the worlds right now and live in isolation mostly. Their story of climbing the train is quite popular on the server. give it a read when you get a chance. 

 They are considered as progenitor of the most races and the train is considered to have been even older than them. They just used one of their wishes with the administers in this way to allow everyone to exist. That should answer your question I believe. Does any one have anymore questions? She asked again. The more information you get the more questions people will ask especially the curious ones. But for unknown reason everyone understood they shouldn't ask any more questions. It was as if everyone had an explicit understanding between them and no one questioned anything anymore.

Raghu was the one who asked a question this time while being glared at by everyone a he spoke. Everyone just wanted to start with the initiation already and were eager to get on with the first challenge, but Raghu questioning will delay it, hence the glares. He thought " fools they don't understand what information she just dropped on them. No one took the hint that she said most of them don't interfere, not all of them. She also pointed out that CNC only has control for 7 realms." So he asked in a loud voice, you spoke about CNC only operating for about 7 realms what happens after that ? And if you don't mind me asking ..do you work for the CNC as well ?

Shuchi looked at him and thought" Well someone actually used his mind, good good. " She replied, saying that in that same lower pitch, CNC was only permitted for 7 realms by us administrators to manage the train operations. The upper realms are managed by us administrators due to special circumstances that I will not tell you now. You will know that if you reach there and have enough power to enter that realm . As for my race we are called the Naga's and we are descendants of the the great lord Vasuki who is the administrator of the 7th realm.

All the administrators on the lower floors are actually the descendants of the corresponding race of administrator on the upper realm. And we administrators are only present on the first station while we initiate you into the system as CNC can't do that. So that makes my presence necessary here. After answering and implying she won't explain anymore ,She smiled at him. Raghu thanked her by nodding and contemplated what he had just heard. He is still lost in his thought when she looks at others and asks if they have any other questions, seeing no one asking, she waves her hands and an altar appears at the middle of the station.

The altar is an intriguing and mystical structure, which has carefully arranged assortment of small bottles, each containing precious and unique solution. The altar has a circular form, symbolizing unity, eternity, infinity and the cyclical nature of life. The design creates a sacred space for contemplation and ritual.

The centerpiece of this circular altar is a captivating pyramid-shaped arrangement of the small bottles. The pyramid, with its ancient and hidden symbolism, adds a layer of mystique to the overall design. Each tier of the pyramid holds a collection of carefully selected bottles, arranged with precision and intention.

The bottles themselves vary in shape, size, and material, adding diversity to the visual appeal of the altar. Some are made of delicate glass, while others may be crafted from more rustic materials like clay or metal. Each bottle is sealed with precision, preserving the contents within and emphasizing the sanctity of the substances they hold.

The contents of these small bottles are likely to be a blend of aromatic herbs, essential oils, rare spices, or other mystical elements, each chosen for its symbolic significance or metaphysical properties. The arrangement of the bottles reflects a careful consideration of energy flow, creating a visually pleasing and spiritually charged environment.

The circular and pyramid shapes, combined with the curated collection of bottles, suggest a fusion of ancient symbolism and modern mysticism. This altar serves as a focal point for spiritual practices, offering a space where individuals can connect with the energies and choose the elements they will resonate and connect with the soul to experience the mysteries of "Prana" or " ki".

The people looked at the alter in awe, some of them have their mouth opened still as they still cant believe what they are seeing. Shuchi spoke again" Everyone of you will walk towards the altar and sit at its seating area at the rear of the area. Your soul will automatically call upon the solution suitable for your body and desired by your soul. Take that and drink it. you will walk away after that towards that, as she pointed at one of the chambers towards the east of their location. 

Let me warn you , don't even try to take another bottle as no two solutions are same, you can consume only 1 in every realm. Your body will explode as you will pay the price of greed. The people present visibly gulped after hearing that. As the first candidate walked towards the altar every person present there looked on with great anticipation. He walked towards the altar sat near the place depicted by Shuchi earlier and waited. The altar light up in bright colors, he got up from where he was sitting and walked towards the altar as a vile came down from one of the row towards him and floated near him till he collected it. After drinking the contents from the vile, departed towards the chamber. 

This scene repeated again, as people went towards the altar one by one to receive their respective vile and other people waited for their turn patiently. After a while, people from the fern islands have started to walk towards the altar and Raghu knows it will be his turn soon.
