Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Ryu walked across the universe, sweeping a gaze over a direction that had a direct line of sight toward Sarriel. But in the end, he didn't choose to say much of anything.

He wasn't at the point yet that he could just read someone's thoughts from such a large distance away. The main reason he had sensed it was that Sarriel's pining was particularly tortured and her soul was undergoing a great amount of fluctuations.

The reason powerful Gods could feel when their name was mentioned was due to an interaction between Fate and a spoken name. Usually, if one was just thinking their thoughts in their head, they wouldn't influence the world around them, and thus such a thing would never be triggered.

But by comparison, Sarriel's soul was undergoing a great upheaval and she seemed to be on the verge of some sort of breakthrough. Because of that, her soul was influencing the world quite greatly.

For the current Ryu, that sort of focused thought about himself might as well have been someone yelling directly into his ears, especially since they had just been in the same world although separated by planes.

He snorted in laughter. "I knew she liked me."

Despite saying this, Ryu felt quite indifferent to it as he didn't bother to change his route.

He was going home.

At this point in time, if Ryu didn't want to be found, he wouldn't be found. The Martial Gods probably thought that if they put their minds to it, his capture would come with great ease.

In fact, Ryu wasn't even running away right now. He was on a completely leisurely stroll through the universe.

When he first came to the True Martial World, he had to risk his life through several storms before he finally paid an exorbitant price just to ride a shuttle to the world.

But now, he was not only not in need of such transportation, he was thousands of times faster than it had ever been.

Using Spacetime in the void was countless times easier than doing so under the suppression of a world.

It would still take Ryu some time if he wanted to move from one end of a world to another. But out here, he could cross triple that distance in a single step.

It was both a freeing and disorienting feeling… because Ryu realized that there was quite some chaos attached to this.

The disorder of the void was precisely what made it lax in its regulations, and this laxness also resulted in danger.

Out here, it was far more likely for Ryu to accidentally phase his head through something and end up with a meteor in the middle of his skull.

Without absolute precision and confidence in one's abilities, even more Spatial affinity geniuses wouldn't dare to casually travel as far in a single bound as Ryu was.

But Ryu himself didn't seem to sense the danger. And as a result, a journey that should have taken years of time was completed by him in just a few minutes.

One would have thought that the True Martial World was around the corner from Sacrum.

…

Ryu took a step into Sacrum's Chaos Plane and breathed in.

A single huff from him almost drained the Plane of all of its Chaos Qi. But although it felt like this was about to happen, the amount of Chaos Qi that rushed in to replace it was equally as overwhelming.

It seemed that there was truly something special about Sacrum after all. From Ryu's understanding, there was simply no way it should have recovered that fast.

But even with his current strength, he couldn't see through exactly what that secret was.

'Curious.'

Ryu stepped through the skies, but after returning to the Real Plane, he was part disappointed and part relieved that he didn't sense his parents.

Though he wanted to see his folks, he didn't want to deal with his father's side-eye when he inevitably brought back more wives even after their last talk.

Ryu chuckled to himself, a hint of warmth sparking in his gaze.

His old man was probably the only one that could make him admit to the fact that he wanted to avoid him at all costs.

At the very least, he couldn't meet with his old man without his mother present. She would definitely be the buffer he needed. In fact, in her opinion, he might not have enough wives yet.

Ryu found himself aimlessly walking across the skies. The laws didn't reject him and it felt like he was a God in the truest sense here.

Nothing could stop him.

Somehow… despite the mysteriousness of Sacrum, he felt like if he wanted to destroy it with a single palm, it wouldn't even fight back against him all that much at all.

Like a mother coddling her children, she would smile even as he drove a knife through her chest.

Ryu couldn't help but recall the words of the Heavenly Court Ancestor. Was this what it meant to be a "Chosen"? Was this how much Sacrum loved him?

It was truly ironic that he once used to hate a world that gave him so much and was willing to sacrifice so much for his sake.

Ryu looked up at the skies, a light smile on his face. It looked like he was truly at peace with something.

The Shrines in his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation pulsed with light, resonating with the world around him.

At that moment, he realized that in all likelihood… it didn't matter which Ancestor of the Martial God came. In fact, they might not dare to come at all any longer.

If he was willing to go as far as to destroy the life root of Sacrum, he could kill anyone.

But… in a rare showing, Ryu shook his head.

"If I'm repaying debts, then I owe you a debt as well. I promise that no one will harm you. Not even myself."
