Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2068 Silver Star

Ryu exhaled a breath and opened his eyes.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The power of his eyes when they were completed would be truly profound. But actually completing them would take a great deal of work.

First, he would have to turn what was originally potential back into raw power and understanding.

It had to be remembered that when he originally got the Silver Star, he had used it to study it from the outside, trying to grasp the Visualization that was attached to it. But when he got his Perfect. Blackbody Soul, he swallowed it up and turned all of that comprehension into raw potential instead.

This was a perfect choice in the immediate situation, but now what he would need to do was reach a point where he could rebuild and form that Visualization on his own.

Remembering the complexities of that Star, Ryu still felt a bit overwhelmed, but it wasn't nearly as terrible as it was in the past.

Ryu remembered a time when he couldn't even look at the Silver Star directly, but now he was capable of using his Origin Flame to remember at least its first few layers.

Now, he had enough insight to realize that his Silver Star was separated into ten layers, each one progressing toward the core where the most complex layer was. Right now, Ryu was fairly confident in forming the first layer, but he only had 50% confidence in forming the second.

This went to show just how shocking the difficulty of it all was. It was hard to imagine the level his future self had reached.

Right now, he already felt that he was peaking toward the best experts in the world. Soon, he would be able to step into the Lord Realm and display even greater might. But he was still so far away.

He couldn't even pinch his own wife's ass without losing an arm. Where was the justice and humanity in that? He needed to get stronger.

The second thing he would need were resources, of course. He had made use of his Tribulation Lightning this time around to gather a lot of the strength that he would need, but this was still just a foundation. He would need much more.

Whether that came from more Tribulations or other Natural Treasures didn't matter. One way or another, he would need it.

And finally, ironically enough, he would need more Fate.

Although these eyes were breaking free of the Fate and Karmic Soul Natures that were much better suited to his original pair, that didn't mean they didn't need Fate of their

own.

Silver Star

Heavenly Pupils were inextricably linked to the power of their Fate. This was why their strengths varied depending on the world they were in and their rankings.

If Ryu wanted to create a new type of Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils, he couldn't just make it and expect it to work properly. It had to have Fate worthy of his original Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils.

And that was when it all clicked for Ryu.

Why was this Visualization in the shape of a Silver Star? Wasn't this the exact same shape as his Fate Star? Was it really a coincidence?

Originally, Ryu hadn't thought much about it. There were plenty of Silver Stars in existence, and he was likely not the only one with a Fate Star that was silver.

Although they had looked eerily similar, considering the trillions upon trillions of stars there were, he had never felt comfortable drawing the parallel until he unlocked his Fate Soul Nature and realized the truth of the matter.

It was forged by him to begin with.

Obviously, then... one of the biggest mysteries of the Silver Star Visualization wasn't just the mysteries of Spacetime that it held, but also the mysterious connection it held with his original Fate Star.

Right now, Ryu's Fate Star wasn't moving at all. His Fate had seemingly been cut off, and now, according to the eyes of many, he would never amount to anything.

Although he seemed to have great momentum now, Ryu knew that the reason he had yet to break into the Lord Realm was only in part due to the fact he wasn't yet satisfied with his Dao...

The other reason was because he knew that the danger that would come with doing so was something that he couldn't justify just yet.

With his sensitivity toward Fate, he could feel a danger that made his spine tingle and his hairs stand on end.

He needed to grow more powerful.

If he could leap over this hurdle.... he was confident that he would reach his goal in

short order.

If he couldn't...

He would likely die.

Even so, there was a calm expression on his face.

He pulled Little Gem down from his head and stroked her soft fur. The little griffin smiled happily, twisted around in his embrace before yawning and settling down into a nap.

She had been doing a lot of sleeping these days, and Ryu found it to be somewhat amusing. That was because, like he had said before, he could tell that the little one wasn't nearly as weak as she seemed to be.

In fact, her cultivation had already soared in just these first few hours.

Just as she was sleeping, she had already returned to the stage of a Fourth Order Beast, the equivalent of the Spiritual Severing Realm.

Of course, this wasn't much for a beast that had just been a God Beast. But even recultivating shouldn't be so fast. It hadn't even been a day yet, and she wasn't even actively cultivating.

It was like the world was cultivating for her.

This was the shocking strength of the griffins. From what Ryu knew, the World Pupils, the Pupils that he had always known to be number two to his own, came from this

гасе.

He was truly interested in seeing how strong it was.

He rose to his feet, still stroking the little griffin.

Since his return would take some time, he would see what he could do with the stragglers in his Inner World first.
