Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2006 Obvious Answer

Deep within Mae's body was a Body Realm potential that was still waiting to burst through.

It had to be remembered that the Dream Asuras weren't just descendants of the Dream Wraiths. Mac

in particular had the blood of Fire Giants and I lorned Devils within her.

Together, this gave her both astonishing flame control abilities and a powerful body.

That had mostly been suppressed by her Dream Wraith characteristics because it was the most prominent of her Bloodlines. However, they were still there.

It was this Horned Devil Bloodline that was the most intriguing.

Horned Devils were pure monsters of power. Their bodies held a shocking amount of strength, and their Bloodlines held the secret to turning Nether Qi from a useful Mental Realm booster to a Body Realm one.

Once again, this wasn't for the sake of Ryu himself, but why this was so important was because a Cycle of Reincarnation would be incomplete without all three pillars of cultivation...

And that was where the Fire Giants came into play.

If the Dream Wraiths were the Pillar of the Mental Realm... and the Horned Devils were the Pillar of the Body Realm... then what were the Fire Giants if not the Pillar of the Qi Realm?

Ryu felt that Mac had a truly profound path within herself that she was neglecting, but right now he didn't have the time to guide her. He could only allow her to sense it all passively through what he was going to do next.

The two slipped into an odd state.

Much like Ryu could communicate with and enter the Chaos Plane as he pleased thanks to his Chaotic Silk Meridians, and the Faeries and Tey could do the same with the Ethereal Plane, the Dream Wraiths could do the same with the Nether Plane...

Or in this regard, the incomplete Path of Reincarnation.

Ryu felt the connection immediately, but he kept it subtle, not pressing the issue just yet. So long as he did this, the odds that the Fey would sense him were next to nothing.

He took his time to familiarize himself with the incomplete path, and he found it to be almost surreal in a way.

In his mind's eye, there was nothing but a long tunnel that seemed to extend to everywhere, and yet. nowhere at the same time. This feeling gave the impression that it could connect with anywhere at any time.

A normal person would just see a foggy road built of clouds that extended toward a light in the distance, the so-called light at the end of the road.

But Ryu saw an endless den of runes and patterns so complex it made his head spin.

By now, his mental capacity was at a level that could rival some of the weakest Dao Gods, and yet he still felt completely overwhelmed. It was shocking, indeed.

But that was why he took his time. In fact, he took an entire year, just sitting there in silence, feeling it out with his wife in his arms.

In this year, Mae seemed to have also subtly grasped something, and those hidden seedlings within her began to stir. Before, she was disappointed that she hadn't been able to break into the Lord Realm. But now... she was thankful she hadn't.

Wouldn't this have meant that she had lost out on her best potential otherwise?

"This road... it represents potential, hope... chaos... chaos is the spark that's needed to trigger life... He could remember every single one of his reincarnations, enough to know that not a single one of his lives could be easily mapped onto another. Every time, he was likely a completely different person. No... he was a completely different person, so much so that after he got over the fact... They didn't even feel like him at all.

Seeing this winding chaos before him, Ryu understood it.

Lower-case chaos was all about randomness within Order. Three variables alone were already impossible for normal people to track; four was a nightmare, but how many variables were involved in the life of a person? What about if you restricted it to just their birth alone?

It was this tunnel of chaos that could throw these random assortments of variables together and decide the starting point of a person's life.

When manipulated in the right way, it could instantly allow people from countless worlds away to appear here.

But why was that?

According to the quantum laws of the world, there was nothing scientifically impossible about an atom that made up your body suddenly vanishing and appearing countless light-years away. The reason why entire humans weren't disappearing every day was that the odds of all the atoms in your body doing that at the same time were so infinitesimally small that it might as well be a zero chance to begin with.

However, this road was able to direct this chaotic probability, which was precisely how it allowed such instantaneous teleportation without a care for time and space.

And it was precisely this directing of chaos that was so powerful.

If it could allow a Dao God to suddenly cross from their world to this one...? What other spontaneous changes could it force with the right sort of delicate hand?

Ryu had a few ideas...

What about randomly teleporting a few Ancient Beasts here for some chaos?

Maybe a sprinkle of changes to the Holy World to trap some people instead, and keep others out...

And maybe a dash of subterfuge for a cherry on top...

Ryu had a ton of ideas, but how many of them could he actually execute?

His stamina was limited, but he was the only one with the mental capacity and comprehension necessary to act.

He needed to find just one action that would completely flip the tables. The problem was that he already had the exact answer he needed; it was just that he didn't know if this was really the path he wanted to take just yet.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Was this how he wanted to end it?

The answer was obvious...

Set Ailsa free.
