Chapter 555: Monument of Stars (1/2)

The Monument of Stars...

It appears like an enormous stone steele which was filled with multiple engravings of stars. Each star were dim and lifeless, yet they were filled with an ancient air and vicissitudes of time.

Raven never understood why Geezer left this here. None of the previous Heirs explained it to him either, maybe because it's too early for him to know or they too, don't know. Needless to say, everyone who became the official Heir, had once interacted with this.

And now, it's Raven's turn.

He had no idea what to expect and even if he did, it would be useless since he'd probably have a different experience anyway. Therefore, he just relaxed and placed his hand on the Monument of Stars.

*Woosh!*

All Raven felt was an irresistible pull and his consciousness woke up in an entirely different place.

He found himself standing in a wide space surrounded by stars. There was a road beneath him that stretched to the far-off distance. The road was quite narrow, it glowed with a faint blue-ish color and was quite illusory. At first glance, anyone would hesitate to even step on it since it doesn't appear solid but Raven stood at it without any problems.

Raven however was confused, all of the signs were pointing him to follow this road and there's only one path forward. He didn't expect this kind if development but he's in no position to ask since he's already here.

He then started walking forward, quite determined to see where this road will take him.

As he started his journey, Raven looked around him in awe and slight confusion.

It would seem as if he was in the middle of the outer space. He didn't know whether any of this was real or not since to his surprise, his ocular technique wasn't working here. It wasn't just that. His Cosmic Energy was locked, he also can't call upon the power of the Cleansing Flame Sprout.

In short, Raven was extremely vulnerable in this place. And raised some alarm within his mind but he still walked forward.

When Raven got to a specific distance, he suddenly stopped on his tracks. His gaze was plastered towards his left, more specifically, at the formation of stars in there.

His mind trembled as he felt that these ones looked somewhat familiar, however he couldn't remember where they saw them for the life of him.

That didn't stop him from staring at them though. Raven racked his memories in order to remind himself. Thankfully, his efforts were paid.

”It's the same Constellation I saw within the Monument of Stars...” Raven murmured.

To his astonishment though, as soon as he said that. That particular group of stars began moving towards him. Raven was shocked but he really didn't have anywhere to retreat so he could only stand in place and find out what's going to happen next.

The Constellation arrived in front of him. Looking at it caused Raven feel a strange connection between him and this one. All of a sudden, the constellation suddenly released stronger fluctuations which caused Raven's expression to change.

'Is it...communicating with me?'

*Buzz!*

”It is!” Raven was gobsmacked. But he frowned once more since he had no idea what it wanted him to do.

The constellation kept urging him by constantly releasing fluctuations however Raven remained clueless as to what it wants from him.

Raven decided to lift his hand just to test things out, he had no other idea anyways.

Surprisingly, just as he did that. The constellation suddenly shrank and released a faint brilliance that formed a link between it and Raven's palms.

Once they connected, Raven's mind suddenly trembled. He was then assaulted with waves of information that doesn't belong to him. It was chaotic at first but Raven persisted through it.

He felt as if he was a lone sailor amidst the raging sea, trying his best to remain afloat and survive.

It was quite painful even with Raven's strong Will and formidable consciousness. As he persisted through the raging sea of memories, Raven felt as if he himself lived through it but as a bystander.
