Chapter 1016: Trail of stars
He was quite sure that he is in his consciousness in the beginning but if that is the case why does he feel the presence of Laws?
And this laws are not something he had imagined or a Law that he had already comprehended
Instead, it is laws that he had not trained in. If it’s a Law that he had cultivated it is not weird for it to appear in his deeper consciousness since it is already there
But to detect some other Laws that he had never encountered and had never trained before…this clearly is not his consciousness.
‘The Gate brought me somewhere else’ he thought to himself
‘Thought Consciousness domain?’ He mutters to himself. He had once heard it from Alsurt. From what he understood such a phenomenon is very rare.
There is many artifact or legacies of powerful beings in the Omniverse.
When it melded with the users, there are times when one reaches a certain understanding or fulfilled some hidden requirement
When such thing happened they would sometimes be summoned into a Thought Consciousness domain to inherit the legacies or knowledge and skills of the bestower
This is another dimension outside the Omniverse. Like some kind of backdoor plugged in into reality of the Omniverse
No one knew who created it but since its discovery many powerful beings had used it to store their legacies and bestowed it upon their chosen
Of course some powerful being could even enter one thoughts and drag someone to their consciousness
Thought Consciousness domain itself has many types and it did not manifest all the same.
But Azief is quite sure he is in some kind of special zone of Thought Consciousness domain. Since his body is still in front of that black hole
Even though his mind is in this consciousness, he still could see what is happening outside of his body
The fact his body did not move and the fact that he felt laws even though he should not, made him quite confident he is dragged into some kind of thought consciousness domain.
That is the only way to explain this.
‘By now, I should not be surprised at all. The Etherna is a race that exist before Time was even created if one believes the lore about them. I would not be shocked if the one who created the Thought Consciousness domain in the first place is another Etherna.’ Azief had reason to believe that is the truth
It is known that in the lore the Etherna fought against the Supreme One, the One and Only, the One with Many Names.
It would not be surprising then that they need a communication network.
Since everything probably could be monitored by the Supreme One inside the Universe He had created, a different way of communicating needed to be established.
It would not be far-fetched then to think that one of the Etherna created the Thought Consciousness domain not as a place to store one legacy and bestowed it to chosen one, but instead as a place where the Etherna could share information with each other
He did not have any evidence to back this up but this is the feeling he gets
Or maybe…it is the knowledge that he now has about the Etherna that guided him to this conclusion.
After all, he is still feeling the after effect of reading the symbol in front of the gate.
The information in his mind right now is segregated into a few thousand sections. The moment the information stream inside his mind Azief immediately split them up
He knows what would happen if he tries to take all of that information all at once. He might faint or be rendered unconscious by a sudden overload of information.
In Azief mind right now, other than the time when his mind is wandering, it is slowly letting out the information that he had been given into his mind.
So, Azief would not discount the possibility that his current conclusion is derived from some of the information that is slowly being released inside his mind.
Azief now being shrouded by blue aura and blue lights that is twinkling around him take a step closer to the gate
The gate seems to expand even more and the sound of humming could be heard. This time, it is a sound of a melody. Like some kind of a song.
Beneath his feet, Azief saw the trail becoming translucent.
‘It would then disappear’ he mutters to himself. And the moment he finished saying this, the trail that he had been walking on was swallowed by the blue clouds.
It appears now like he is standing on the clouds. Azief predicted it as it is the same phenomenon that happened when he first saw this gate in the past.
And just like before, he did not fall. An invisible force seems to be holding him up. Azief had manage to calm himself down
Right now in this vast space, there is only the blue clouds, him and the gate that sis slowly ever –expanding.
Azief did not feel fear. Nor did he feel awe. Or excitement. Only cautiousness remains in his heart right now.
Like guided by his instinct, he knows what to do to open the gate. He come right in front of the gate and slowly he pushed the gate with his two hands.
The moment his hand touches the gate, his entire body seems to be filled with tattoos and symbols.
Runic inscription seems to light up from his body and powerful ripple of shockwave exploded from his body.
It looks like tribal tattoos is covering his entire skin, lining every part. Each line of the tattoos seems to have its own Concept and Laws.
A powerful pushing pressure was generated by his hand.
The swirling blue lights around him flew toward his hand, forming to be like some kind of a glove.
The sound of the humming grew louder and the Song become faster. The Song did not disturb Azief concentration instead it fills him with fighting spirit.
Like some kind of a war song.
Azief might imagine it but he swears he heard the sound of a war drum being hit, the sound of wind instrument each of them made his blood boiled, ready to fight
Before he felt insignificant and weak in front of this Gate. He felt like he was in front of the Heavens and he was the lowly mortal trying to peek to the secret of the Gods
Today, however, he felt no such feeling. Only a fighting spirit and a defiant heart. His eyes are determined and sharp and each of his step is filled with confidence.
When he stomps his foot the world will shakes and when he roars to the Heavens, the Heavens will split.
That is his current attitude.
Creak! The gate is slowly being pushed open. Azief look forward even when he is pushing the door and he saw countless blue spirals inside the gate.
He saw restriction matrixes and magical formation floating around inside a white space. Then Azief felt the vibration on his hand. His eyes glance toward the rings on his finger
Even this was brought into the Thought Consciousness domain? Azief had no doubt now that the rings that he possesses might come from the Etherna.
Fate, Destiny. That is the thought in his heart right now. The accumulation of choices in the past had now catch up to him
Could it be since he picked up the ring, today…was then preordained? Such thoughts enter his mind for a second before he pushed that thought out of his mind.
Like before, the ring that is reacting to the floating formation matrixes is none other than the Ring of Grand Formation.
The last time this happen, a blue wisp enters his ring and gave him another formation to try out. Azief was not proficient in formation.
It is a complicated study.
If he wanted to learn it, he had to be specialized like Lee Sangmin who could create such an ingenious and powerful formation that cover up the Lotus Palace.
Even Azief did not bear to crush that formation unless he was truly desperate. Azief did not even know if he could break that formation.
But that is another story.
Azief did not learn studiously about formation.
But many people in the world had the misunderstanding that Azief is also proficient in the study of formation arrays
That is all thanks to the ring of Grand Formation.
Each formation could easily be learned the moment the Ring of the Grand Formation revealed itself to him
And the formation inside the Ring of Grand Formation is always high tier formation. It is because of this all of it come easy to him when it comes to formation.
But this time there is no such blue wisp. It is clear that his visit to this gate this time is quite different from the last time.
But there is a change that Azief did not expect. The floating formation and the matrixes began to morph. It slowly unravels itself.
Like a key had suddenly was chuck into it and being twisted to open a door.
BOOM!
BOOM!
The sound of explosion fills the inside of the gate. And more and more formation appears and the moment they appeared, they exploded into dust.
The dust falls down like falling rain, each one of it is colorful and seem to possess some vitality to it
When it falls down near Azief feet, a trail was formed. Azief look at it with wonder at the trail
‘A trail of stars’ Azief thought to himself when he looks at the trail in front of him.
