Chapter 517: A Tiny Spark (1/2)

Raven arrived at a vast expanse of void, which is something he did not expect considering the fact that he saw some rays of light before he entered.

He didn't feel anything - well, to be more specific, he can't feel anything.

Raven's currently surrounded with pitch black, he can't see, hear, feel, taste, nor touch. His thoughts we're also slipping away but he can't do anything to prevent any of this happening. He can't even mobilize even a single speck of his Cosmic Energy nor lift a finger. He could only helplessly remain still.

Time passed and slowly but surely, Raven's thoughts were slipping away. It wouldn't be long until he eventually loses them.

That's when a huge change suddenly occurred on his surroundings.

It all started with a single white spark.

A tiny, tiny spark that even Raven, with his excellent visual prowess, nearly missed it. However, even though it was just a tiny speck of light. It existed.

It lives.

This tiny spark of light was only thing that completely opposes it's surroundings. No matter how the void rolled, folded and tried to devour this tiny speck of light, it fought dauntlessly and remained. Even though it was the only one of its kind. It fought for survival and remained strong.

Raven's remaining focus was centered in this spark of white light. Coincidentally, as he started at it, his thoughts completely stopped from slipping, allowing him to dedicate all of them into watching how this tiny speck light fought for its existence. Raven himself didn't noticed this however since he's too entranced by this speck of light.

As time went on, Raven got too absorbed into this scene that he also failed to notice that all of his senses had returned to him already. His thoughts returned to it's original state but all of it was dedicated into watching this tiny speck of light.

For reason's unknown, Raven and this tiny speck of light shared a connection. Unfortunately, Raven's too entranced to notice any of this.

Due to his surroundings and his current state, Raven completely became unaware of how much time has passed already. He remained entranced by the sight and also remained rooted on his spot.

It was unknown when but another speck of light was born. And it time, another one. Slowly but surely, the numbers of these tiny dots of light rose. Raven noticed this but it didn't awaken him from his trance, instead it might've even dragged him deeper.

The rising number of these tiny white dots seemed to have angered the void. It shook, trembled and did everything it could to snuff out these lights but it could only corrode it, it cannot snuff them out.

At a certain point, lines started emerging from the first spark of white light. It crawled and connected with the nearby specks of light, linking them to together and presumably, their fates as well.

As soon as it connected to every single one, the group of white sparks shone with a glaring brilliance that illuminated the void.

The void shook and trembled, seemingly frightened and threatened by the sudden development however it couldn't do anything to stop it. Instead of attacking, the void wanted to push them away but it had no spaces available to isolate these group of white sparks.

At the same moment that the group of white sparks were linked, the connection it has with Raven became even more deeper, henceforth dragging him even deeper in his trance. Nevertheless, Raven was conscious enough to realize what these group of linked white sparks represents.

'The first Constellation.'

He had no idea why the void was seemingly terrified of the first constellation, he can't think of any reason for it either since he's in a deep trance. What's important is that, Raven knew that this was a monumental event, and he absolutely couldn't miss what's about to happen next.

The first constellation's appearance was the trigger. Shortly after it's emergence, another spark of white light appeared, which where then followed by some more in quick succession. Not too long after that, the Second Constellation was born, which was then followed by the third, the fourth and so on…

Raven watched everything as an observer. He witnessed the birth of one constellation after another. As their numbers increased and filled a portion of this vast expanse of void, a disparity was born.
