Chapter 582: The Shell (1/2)

Raven was unconscious for a whole month...

During this time, he was experiencing a lucid dream which occurred along with the changes on the World Tree Seed. As the seed absorbed the rotten branch to aid it's growth, numerous insights blessed Raven's body.

New Law Diagrams appeared on the World Tree Seed as it devoured the branch, these will all be helpful later when Raven decided to cultivate his Spacetime Laws.

The absorption of the rotten branch lasted for one whole month. After that, the World Tree Seed calmed down and Raven regained consciousness.

As soon as Raven woke up, he asked his Avatars what happened and they answered him. In the end, he could only sigh and be thankful that he chose to do this here instead of the real world. Had it not been for the time difference, he would've been really unconscious for a whole month.

Raven then inspected his Inner Cosmos and when he did, he was a bit surprised when he saw the changes.

From what he could tell, his Inner Cosmos expanded ever so slightly. Additionally, the purity of his Cosmic Energy seemed to have increased as well. Which are all very surprising for Raven since he wasn't expecting any changes to happen since the seed hadn't bloomed just yet.

When he inspected it closely, he discovered that this was all due to his World Tree Seed. Compared before, the seed didn't just absorbed his Cosmic Energy to fuel it's growth. It was now able to filter his cosmic energy.

Each time it absorbed his Cosmic Energy, the seed will absorb half of the amount it initially absorbed and release the other half. The Cosmic Energy that was released by the seed is purer compared to what Raven originally has. Not only that, it also managed to somehow increase his Cosmic Energy capacity.

From what Raven could tell, the seed will keep on doing it this way until the day it eventually bloomed. By then, he should benefit more thanks to the wondrous existence of the world tree seed.

”Okay, now we deal with this.” Raven murmured as he picked up the Shell of Absolute Beginning.

The round shield-like shell was almost transparent. It was light and about five meters in diameter. It's edges were uneven and from just a glance alone, one could easily tell that it has been around for quite sometime.

Raven gently placed the shell on his lap. He inspected it closely, wanting to know if he could discover some secrets within. He gently traced his hand along its surface. It was cool to the touch, its surface was smooth too.

Initially, Raven couldn't really find anything strange about this shell. This caused him to purse his lips in disappointment but he didn't give up just yet.

Rainbow colored light blossomed on his pupils, this was him activating his ocular technique. With this, Raven wanted to find out if he could see something hidden from pain sight.

And to his luck, he did manage to see more with his ocular technique active. However, what he saw was somewhat strange.

With his ocular technique active, the shell in front of him changed. It's appearance roughly stayed the same but it's surface was now filled with numerous things which didn't make sense to Raven at all.

There are numerous wears and tears in his vision. There are also some strange marks and runes etched on the surface of the shell. Additionally, there is a certain film covering the shell, preventing Raven from inspecting even further.

Raven frowned deeply. He ran his fingers along the now visible details on the shell however he failed to grasp anything of value. He could sense that he encountered something incredibly profound yet Raven's current knowledge are far from enough to decipher what's hidden within this shell.

He pursed his lips and sighed. Well, he wasn't truly disappointed. If anything, he'd be shocked if he could actually understand something from this. He's already happy that at least he was capable seeing the hidden details of this shell.

He figured that he shouldn't rush anything though. Time was on his side. He believed that so long as he continued growing at this pace, he'll eventually discover the secrets behind the shell. For now, he decided to place it on the nearest altar.

Raven planned on leaving it here for now since he didn't have any real use for it. Also this way, if he ever discover anything important, he could always order his avatars to decipher it for him. Before he placed it away though, he made sure to memorize every single details he saw within the shell. Just in case...
