Way of the Knights

"...I believe that the Grand Elder won't hesitate to give you some rewards. Of course, it'll depend on the situation." Henry finished explaining.

Raven was silent at first but the two didn't pressure him to talk. They just waited for him to speak his terms. After some time, Raven sighed and said:

"Very well. The Formation I can handle, however due to some circumstances, I need to personally create them so the production will be a bit slower. If the Elder Council can agree to this, then you'll only need to give me the materials needed and I'll make them. As for the rewards, I'll leave the matter to Grand Elder hand."

"The problem is the seals..." Raven sighed while frowning. "You see, when I created the seals I placed on the 9th and 12th floor, I personally inspected them. Each floor on the Devil Emperor's Pagoda is different. Although the seals I created looked the same, in truth there are some differences between them due to the afore mentioned differences between each floors."

"Therefore, I need to inspect each floors personally for me to be able to create the necessary seals for them. Which means that mass producing those seals isn't possible for now."

As Raven finished his explanation, Henry and Celestine sighed. 

"That doesn't sound too bad." Celestine stated, "At least we have you for this. That's better than nothing. It's a pity though."

"Yeah." Henry nodded in agreement. "Well nobody said that it'll be easy anyway. I mean, we're already expecting this anyway."

"Hm? What do you mean?" Raven asked. 

"Although Grand Elder thought that it would be nice if the seals can be mass produced, he himself thought that it's very unlikely. This is why were weren't surprised with what you said." Celestine stated. 

Raven was a but surprised with that. Nevertheless, it is after all the Grand Elder that they were talking about here. The current Zeus. Him knowing this shouldn't be much of a surprise. 

"Alright, we'll report this back to the Grand Elder. We'll send you a word of the results." Henry stood up as well as Celestine. "For now, relax and take it easy. I trust that you have some plans for yourself so go do them."

"Since we're done here, then we'll excuse ourselves. See 'ya later 9th." Celestine smiled. 

Raven nodded and bid them farewell. 

Once they disappeared from his pocket dimension. Raven became silent for a bit and in deep thought. He stared at an empty space, unconsciously drinking his tea while he was lost in his own thoughts. 

There are some plans that needs to be adjusted, and that's precisely what he's doing right now. He's making some mental list in order to make sure that he's maximizing his time. 

After quite sometime, Raven woke up from his thoughts and sighed. He then stood up, stretched his body and looked outside for a bit. Although it's still mid-day, he felt quite sleepy so he returned to his room and slept for the rest of the day.

"So this is what stepping on the 5th Stage of [Void Walking Scripture] feels like..." Raven muttered in wonder as he felt some changes on his body. 

Just like before, he didn't feel like his physique was strengthened nor improved at all. Nevertheless, he could still feel hints of changes on his body which will be more displayed when he interacts with the Spacetime Void. 

Raven already sealed the room prior to his cultivation. The seals he created were stronger thanks to the help of the Brush of Wisdom therefore not even an ounce of energy fluctuation will seep out of this room. 

Thanks to that, Raven was able freely display his Spacetime Laws even if he wasn't inside the Crown Space to do so. 

Raven lifted his hand, and with a simple swing of his arm, a spatial tear emerged in front of him. This time. Compared to his attempts prior to this, the Spatial Tear was wider and bigger. It was large enough for him to fit inside. 

Beyond this Spatial Tear is the ever so chaotic and dangerous Spacetime Void. By now, Raven ventured a guess that he could explore the Spacetime Void for three whole days without any problems. That being said, exploring that long would surely empty his energy capacity and Raven has no desires to do that just yet. 

He closed the Spatial Tear and sighed. Just now, the materials he used to cultivate this technique were expensive. He figured that it'll be quite sometime before he could gather the materials needed to go further. 

Raven rested for sometime. Once he returned to his peak state, he took out an item from his Spatial Ring. 

The item looked like a metal rod. It has numerous carvings on it's smooth surface. It was black in color and was cool to the touch. It released a peculiar energy fluctuations which were hardly discernable to any one but Raven. 

Raven had a satisfied smile as he stared at this thing. This item was none other than the Official Writ for a Lower Plane. After more or less two years, since arriving at the Divine Realm, he finally got his hands on it. 

He couldn't wait any longer. He took a deep breath and calmed down his raging emotions. Once he calmed down, he held the writ between his palms. He formed one seal after another, pouring his focus, energy and will onto the writ in order to unleash it's use. 

*Boom!*

A loud explosion happened but it was the harmless kind as it was only heard within Raven's mind. 

Raven's thoughts were a mess at first, when he opened his eyes, he saw himself looking over the Divine Realm as whole, it was as if he was a godlike being who's looking down on his subjects. Raven didn't dare to marvel with this kind of feeling too long since not only was it risky, he also don't have much time. 

He didn't waste a second and began searching for his homeland - The Grand Ancestral Plane. 

It had to be known that this part is the most difficult in this process. Official Writs that could be used to bind one's self into a realm is something that is rare and difficult to find. More importantly, one has to move quick since time is limited. If they ran out of time, then the Official Writ would be wasted. 

Needless to say that, to Raven, the most difficult part was nothing. It's all thanks to the preparation he did before he ascended. 

Before he left the Grand Ancestral Plane, Raven left a portion of his cultivation, soul and will at the Center where it was being kept safe by the collective will of the plane itself. Not only that, he also took the 'manual' way to ascend. Meaning that he actually used a spatial node and travelled it by himself instead of relying to a Transmission Array like his friends. 

Doing this allowed Raven to memorize the path back to the plane very easily and if that's not enough, he even left some markers along the way since he knew that this day will eventually happen. It didn't matter who got it first, him or his friends, what's important is that it had to be them. 

Thanks to his meticulous preparations, the process became much easier for him. He only needed to located the Blue Marble Planet - the place where he arrive when he ascended, and start from there. Locating the planet didn't even take a second for him. 

Shortly after that, Raven saw the markers he left. From the on, it became easier. In no time, he managed to locate his home. 

Seeing his home after quite sometime caused Raven to feel a little bit homesick and excited. He quietly approached it and felt the portion of his soul with his will responding to his summons. 

"So you've come." 

The Raven he left at the Center looked up and called the Collective Will of the plane. An old man showed in front of him and with a simple nod, the old man understood what he wanted to say. 

The time has come...

With the Old Man's help, Raven connected with the soul he left. Two Ravens stood in front of each other. The original Raven was in form of a consciousness, he raised his hand and placed it on his clone's head. 

A seal was branded to clone. This seal was none other than the Official Writ of the World. Then, the clone and Raven fused back together and multitude of changes occurred from there. 

Unbeknownst to the citizens of the Grand Ancestral Plane, their world was about to experience massive changes thanks to Raven officially claiming possession of the plane itself. 

So long as he's alive, no one shall think of invading his home without his permission. And so long as he's alive, the Grand Ancestral Plane will continue to prosper and will stride forwards towards evolution. 

From this day forward, Raven is the true king of this world.. And as long as he got stronger, the Grand Ancestral Plane will grow stronger as well.
