Chapter 655: Inner Cosmos (1/2)
”...someone interfered. That's probably the best conclusion I can come up with in my situation.” Raven murmured followed by a sigh.
The strange changes on his body were things that won't happen unless he willed it or done by someone else. Him being able to endure the clash of Laws thrown in to the mix just convinced him even more.
One has to know that Raven achievements in laws are spectacular. Reaching the 3rd Concepts for both Laws he gained enlightenment from with the mere strength of a former Saint Knight is something unheard of even with Divine Realm's standards.
For someone to reach his achievements, they will usually require a higher realm in cultivation and longer time. Raven didn't think that his achievements were praiseworthy though, after all he got so many advantages that if he weren't able to reach this stage, he might as well call himself useless.
It wasn't really a big deal to him that someone has to interfere though, he just thought that it would've been nicer if they at least showed themselves to him so that he can thank them properly. But he also thought that whoever helped him this time might've done this in purpose...maybe it's not yet time for them to meet. At least that's what he would like to think.
”...anyhow, this is rather peculiar.” Raven shook his head and decided to focus on what's in front of him.
”I didn't know that something like this was possible - no, I should've known really. I mean, the laws practically shown up as 'planets' originally. Additionally, a Cosmos is the amalgamation of Laws at work, Divine Realm functions the same way as well. So if my core could replicate something like that, then something like this should naturally be possible too.”
In this area, Raven has to admit that he completely ignored it. Back then, he thought that his Inner Cosmos is nothing more than the central hub for his Cosmic Energy. Sure, it does have functions like being able to store objects and living beings but beyond that, Raven did nothing to actually understand it.
Well, he did say that the Ancient Constellations appearing within his Cosmos was worth investigating but like what was established earlier, he completely forgotten about this matter altogether. Him being busy with the affairs of the sect shouldn't be an excuse either since he has Avatars to use for that matter.
”Well, that needs to change then...” Raven decided.
He expressed his silent gratitude to whoever helped him and pointed him at this direction by focusing his thoughts on his core. Sinking his consciousness within, he opened his eyes to witness the magnificent view of his Inner Cosmos.
Streaks of milky roads following a swirling pattern, no matter how many times Raven saw it, it's beauty never ceased to impress him. However, Raven didn't really go here to admire the beauty of his Inner Cosmos. He's here to unravel it's mysteries.
Raven dispersed his consciousness and penetrated every inch of the Cosmos. Despite Raven's soul recovery, doing this was a bit challenging. Nevertheless, Raven still as time and he didn't want to waste it. Plus, he found this activity good to get used to his fully recovered soul.
”...let's see.” Raven's voice echoed within the Inner Cosmos, thanks to him scattering his consciousness around, he was nothing more than a disembodied voice here but his will remained intact and in no danger of dispersing here since this was his personal domain.
Raven's control over all the facets of his existence could only be described as immaculate. Especially with his fully recovered soul. He could see every single crumb that is present within his Inner Cosmos. Not only that, he could also feel the level of connection he has with everything he had around here. But...well, he's not perfect. He admits that he completely became complacent and neglected this part of him, that's why he making up for it now.
”Wow, this is weird.” Raven's amused voice echoed once again.
Whilst he did this with the expectations that it wouldn't be easy, it was really enlightening just how much he neglected this part of him after all.
The difficulty of his current mission goes way past the 'wouldn't be easy' category. It was downright confusing...
First and foremost, it was already established that a Cosmos; much like the Divine Realm itself, is the result of Laws at work. The fundamental functions and the result of Law mutations is what gave birth to land, rivers, elements, planes, stars and eventually a whole cosmos.
He always thought that his Inner Cosmos was merely replicating that but looking at it now...there is so much more to this.
This place being dominated by his Destruction and Spacetime Laws was just outright weird now that he thought about it. He was pretty damn sure that the clash of these laws won't result in the creation of a whole damn cosmos. If anything, it might result into some strange phenomenon but not at the scale of Cosmic Creation. That's just impossible.
