Chapter 567: Bizarre Development (2/2)

Too bad since they were dealing with Raven.

Not only did he fooled these Sentries, he even tinkered them to work for him instead.

Spying Sentries are mini-constructs that are made by the smiths. Their job is to monitor everything within a kilometer radius around them and send feedback to their owners whenever something out of the ordinary was seen.

These little things couldn't hope to match Raven at all. He simply casted a strong illusion that fooled the sentry and he began tinkering them in a way that will work for him instead.

Now, whenever these sentries sense anything but Raven and his army, they will send him details about it so that he could prepare. And since this is Raven we're talking about, no traces will lead to him. Not even the very creator of these sentry would be able to know how he tinkered with these things.

Additionally, he also placed some traps along the way which could be triggered with a single thought of his. These are just some nasty surprises for whoever thinks about setting foot to his territory without his permission.

For now, Raven adventures are limited to the deep north. He decided to study his own territory first before the enemies just so that he'll be able to make full use of his natural resources to gain advantage.

It's still too early anyway. He still had time to spy on his neighbors in the future.

”So that's how it was...” Raven murmured as he stared at the skies.

His eyes were somewhat dull and he was expressionless. Raven was in the middle of his deep cultivation and was currently digesting some of the information his Avatars accumulated for him.

”In a way, Laws can be visualized as Inscriptions too.”

”Inscriptions are what form Seals. Seals are needed to create Arrays and multiple Arrays can be fused to create a Formation.”

”Laws work the same way too. It could be said that the Heavenly Laws of the Divine Realm itself is just a massive semi-intelligent Formation. And under the discerning eye, it could be broken down into smaller details which creates the whole picture.”

”Inscriptions are the basics. Multiple Inscriptions are used to create a Seal. Numerous Seals are needed to form an Array so on and so forth. This trend remains the same and it carries one of the simplest yet most profound concept of all...”

”From Simplicity to Complexity. And from Complexity to Simplicity. The cycle just goes on and on! I understand!”

*Weng!*

Strong waves of fluctuations were released from Raven's body. Multiple hymns and tunes echoed from his location, signaling the deep attunement of Raven's mind to the Heavenly Laws right now.

Currently, Raven was floating several meters off the ground, carried by an invisible force. His mind was currently being flooded by multiple insights yet Raven remains oblivious to it all. He just processed the information as if he was a by-stander and that it had nothing to do with him.

The Brush of Wisdom suddenly appeared and began releasing hymns that melded with the tunes surrounding Raven. The brush was orbiting around him, mysteriously trying to draw something without Raven's control.

The Law Diagrams on Raven's body were currently being dissolved at an alarming pace yet they were also being replaced by new ones.

Raven could feel his insights climbing at an alarming pace. The things that didn't make sense to him before were finally becoming clear to him. Still, even with all of that, Raven remained unconscious.

This whole process lasted for a good amount of time before calming down, when Raven opened his eyes. A majestic lotus bloomed with him at its center. Each lotus petal looked somewhat strange, at first glance, no one would discover anything but if one looked closely, each petal are composed of wriggling lines that changes the longer one observes. It's as if these lines were alive and had a story to tell.

When consciousness returned to Raven's body, a peculiar feeling rose from his chest.

Omniscience.

This is what Raven was currently feeling right now. He had the impression that there's nothing in this world he didn't understand. It was a very empowering feeling yet also frightening at the same time.

”I need some time to digest my gains properly. Back to seclusion we go.” He said as he disappeared from where he was.
