Chapter 665: Parallelism (1/2)

The Parallelism Concept of Spacetime Laws...

This concept allows a person to send their consciousness on the Parallel Worlds, allowing them to witness the similarities and differences between them. Such concept is strange and endless profound. One world differs ever so slightly compared to the other. The Concept of Parallelism represents the ultimate 'what-if's' and 'what could've been's', it is strange experienced for anyone.

Raven reached the 3rd Concept of Spacetime Laws not too long ago. Since then, he had the ability to sense and send his consciousness to the Parallel Worlds, more specifically, in place where that Parallel World's 'Raven' is located.

The first encounter he had with the concept of Parallelism in this life is when they went on the True Olympian Climb. He discovered that instead of switching harsh climates in a blink of an eye, they were in fact being sent into parallel worlds as climbed Mount Olympus. This experienced greatly helped Raven understand the Concept of Parallelism - and the risks it has as well...

There is one major rule when it comes to Parallel World visits...

'Do not interfere.' - this is an iron clan rule. This fact will never change even if someone has great understanding of the Parallelism Concept. Any kind of interception from the 'Observer' will result into a the Heavenly Origin Punishment - a powerful law that not even Divinities could defend against.

Anybody who was able to visit the Parallel Worlds could only observe their parallel counterpart. They are not allowed to consciously make contact with the counterparts.

Raven abided this rule despite the vexation he felt whenever he see his Parallel Counterparts die miserably. He didn't interfere, he didn't change anything in order to not make an enemy out of the Heavenly Laws. He just watched, he bore everything into memory and remembered it.

Since then, Raven has been watching his parallel counterparts whenever he has time. So far, he had observed 105 Ravens of the Parallel Worlds.

There's one Raven who died shortly after he was born, another was born as a cripple and ended up taking his own life out of depression. One Raven was born as a pervert, chasing skirts left and right, he ended up having 12 children - all first born's. One Raven was a talented merchant who dominated the entire kingdom's supply.

One Raven was a slave, the other work's a king's guard. One farmer, one fisherman, one carpenter, one drug-pusher, one assassin, one absolute good Raven and one absolute evil Raven.

The rarer kinds of Raven were a born-cultivation-genius Raven, sword-genius Raven, number one smith in the entire kingdom Raven, one evil schemer Raven, one Druid Raven and so on...

The original Raven watched their lives closely, he saw felt the same joy they felt, he was with them at their lowest as well. He accompanied every single one of them until their deaths, he even came really close into interfering since he was so invested in their lives.

The lives of his Parallel World counterparts made Raven reflect on his current life. Compared to them, his life was better. Of all the Raven's he had encountered so far, none managed to gain the Ancestral Divine Crown. Most of his counterparts lived a mortal life, he saw them growing old, they married different wives - some even having multiple ones.

It was a strange experience, witnessing how much change a single variable can cause to his life. The more he observed, the more he matured and the more his mentality deepened. Even though it wasn't technically him who experienced those lives, it still left him a great impression. No matter whether his counterpart living a mediocre life of a life filled with comfort and riches, cultivator or not, he learned a lesson. Just that alone, made this whole experience worth it, but it also didn't make it easier for him to not get so invested as the lives of his counterparts.

Observing Parallel Worlds is a great test for him. One that he's willing to take and determined to pass. He won't interfere since there's just no need to. The moment he stepped out of the Parallel World, time will cease indefinitely. So long as he remained alive, it will continue that way.

The only time that it will resume is when he cultivated his Spacetime Laws to it's acme - the Singularity Concept. Once he reached this stage, his True Self will replicated to the Parallel Worlds, allowing him to dominate it. So long as one Raven remains alive, he will be able to reform other Raven's making him virtually Immortal.

Such is the power of Spacetime Laws.

For now though, Raven still have some form of invincibility. If he encountered something that he can't survive, he could choose to sacrifice one of his Parallel Counterparts to take the blow for him in order to preserve his life. He could just revive those when he reached Singularity in the future.

Therefore, it's safe to say that when Raven reached the 3rd Concept of Parallelism, his survivability rose to an absurd degree. Even Divinities will find it difficult to truly kill Raven now.
