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. 

Still though, Raven has a long way to go. Observing the lives of 105 Raven's might be a lot but in truth, that's just a drop in the bucket. There's millions of Parallel Worlds, some were being born while others were reaching the end of it's natural lifespan. In order to master the 3rd Concept to it's perfection, Raven has to observe every single one of his counterparts. 

This is a massive up taking, one that couldn't be possible without his Avatars, adding on to his gratefulness to Geezer since he got the Myriad Incarnations Scripture to him. The more Avatars he has, the faster this process will go. Still, since there's a lot of Parallel Worlds, he knows that it would take a great time before he manages to reach it's acme. 

That's fine for him though. Raven already understood that the higher his law achievements were, the harder it will be to progress, the time it takes will be greater as well. It's the universal truth, nothing he could do about it.

"Welcome everyone, thanks for attending today's Lecture."

Raven sat down and smiled at the disciples in front of him. This was another one of Raven's job. With the recent changes in the sect, he became one of the lecturers that guides the young disciples in order to make them stronger. He had been conducting lectures at least once a month, and compared to other lecturers, his was the most sought out. 

"Same rules as before..." Raven said as he placed a stack of books beside him as he sat down. "If you have any doubts, raise your hand and ask me. You have hour to ask me questions, once that's done or if nobody has any questions, we will move on to the topic for today. Do any of you have any questions?" 

As soon as he asked this question, many people raised their hands. Raven pointed at a random disciple, the person stood up and introduced himself...

"My Alexis, Young Lord. I have something that's bugging for quite some time. I have a Heavenly Sabretooth Bloodline, through this Bloodline I was able to gain enlightenment of Wind and Earth Laws, I also cultivated the Heavenly Fiend Manual to it's 7th Level. My progress have been relatively smooth from the start however I have faced a bottleneck that prevented me from breaking through, am I doing something wrong?" 

Raven's eyes gleamed with a rainbow colored light as he inspected the disciple, shortly after, he said: 

"Your foundation is shallow." Raven revealed, causing the disciples' expression to change. "You may have the bloodline of a Divine Beast but you relied too much on it. It's already a miracle that you've come this far. You weren't very hands-on with your training, I can easily tell that you haven't even scratched the surface of your true strength."

"Go back to your basics. Ignore your bloodline and explore your true capabilities without it. Meditate on your Laws as well. If you can clear the Trials of Artemis without relying on your bloodline, then you can attempt another breakthrough." 

The expression of the disciple turned gloomy but he wasn't dejected, if anything he now has a direction. He bowed to Raven and excused himself. 

"Next, you." 

"Young Lord, I am..." 

Raven then entertained the questions of the disciples for an hour straight, however he noticed that there were too many people who needed guidance so he decided to extend the length of the lecture so that he could help them all out. 

Once everybody was satisfied, he then began his lecture. Raven originally planned on talking about how they could effectively increase their law insights but he changed it since it was clear that he needed to correct the foundations of the disciples in front of him or else they'll waste their talents. 

He touched upon the basics and how they could solidify their foundations even more. The disciples listened attentively and after six hours, Raven's Lecture ended. 

Raven exited the pavilion last, cleaning up and locking it up before returning to his abode and resting for the remainder of the day.
