Space.
It was continuous, mysterious, and dangerous.
Outer Space was where the solar system and the world humans knew resided.
Thus, one couldn't fault the general populace for thinking Inner Space also had bustling life. In fact, a life form higher than their own.
It was one of the most sought-after topics in the scientific community. But unlike other pursuits, the answer to this question depended not on the ingenuity of scientists and their breakthroughs, but on the Space Awakeners.
To be precise, it was dependent on the first celestial space awakener.
Only a celestial space awakener could enter the inner space by crossing the layer space.
The layer space, which was full of chaotic space currents.
The layer space, which was a distinct grey compared to the black space all around.
The same layer space that every awakener who intends to be a level 7 must enter and that very space that Varian was about to enter.
Whoosh!
