Ryu bolted across the city, feeling the changes as he moved. They had all been randomly teleported, and Selheira had resisted entering his inner world at the last moment, so this was the current situation.

Inwardly, Ryu had known that Selheira had been struggling with something for a while. He had a small bit of an idea of what it was after observing for so long, and retrospectively, he should have been able to guess that this would be the outcome.

"It could be said that she was playing a very dangerous game, and maybe purposely so."

"This wasn't a shit-test for Ryu like it had been in the past, trying to see if he would definitely come to save her. Though, unlike in the past, Ryu had already claimed her as his woman. In his current opinion, even if it was, he wouldn't blame her in the slightest. That was the difference between being his family and not."

"But no. Ryu believed that Selheira had forcefully placed herself in this position because she wanted to."

"She was a Crystal Dragon, but she erred on the side of arrogance nonetheless. She had always been dissatisfied with how her father and her ancestors had done things, even to the point of setting out on her own."

"However, when Ryu suddenly swooped in and fixed all her problems, it felt like her purpose in the world had vanished... And she found that she didn't like that at all."

"She had never resisted falling in love with Ryu, that was because she had never thought that he would have such capability. It wasn't that she didn't think him to be talented, it was more so that no one should have been able to do what he did for her."

"What she couldn't have expected was that that love would have come into conflict with her own Dao Heart. She felt like if she didn't do anything, and she continued to allow things to progress like this, her Dao Heart would shatter and let alone keeping up with Ryu's steps, she would become his burden."

"In another few dozen years, she would grow old and decrepit and eventually die. There was no amount of Embryonic Qi that could do anything to change that if she didn't have the heart to continue."

"Ryu could only sigh. He had never dealt with such a situation before."

"It was amusing, though, in a bit of a sad way."

"The kind of woman he liked most were those prideful peacocks with all the confidence and arrogance in the world carefully placed inside a muted package of elegance and grace."

"Considering that, it was surprising that this didn't happen more often to him."

"Sometimes, helping too much actually had the opposite effect, and he truly didn't expect that to be the case until this very moment."

"In fact, it could be said that rushing after Selheira right now was probably the last thing he should do."

"The problem was that this situation was truly too dangerous."

"Had he known she would do this, he wouldn't have gone and provoked all those people, he wouldn't have mentioned Mae at all because he knew what kind of storm it would bring."

"He knew that Selheira wasn't jealous because he had another wife, but it was possible that she was pushed over the edge by the reaction others had for Mae. Maybe she wanted to bring that kind of honor and adulation to him as well, maybe she wanted to see her husband fight against the world for her sake too."

"Ryu cursed under his breath, shooting forward at an even faster speed."

"It was difficult to sense anything in this place. He could barely gain a faint grasp of where she was and the more he ran in this direction, the more he felt that those senses might just be a mirage."

"What the hell was happening in this place? What could obstruct even his senses?"

"Just as he was about to pause and re-evaluate, a pill of black light suddenly came out from the ocean."

"One of the most disgusting creatures Ryu had ever seen in his lifetime appeared. It was an anglerfish, but the problem was that it was so mutated and warped beyond compare that it somehow managed to look even worse."

"Ryu was truly speechless at the moment."

"An Omniscient God Beast?"

"He was absolutely certain that the strongest genius to enter this place was only in the Perfect Sky God Realm. There was no way that the first beast he came across should have this level of strength. Was he missing something?"

"The mutated anglerfish's antenna suddenly whipped out at Ryu, and at that moment it became clear that it not only had a tongue, but also teeth."

"'Shit.' Ryu cursed again."

"He wasn't a fool, he knew he was missing out on something."

"And even though he had defeated an Omniscient Sky God before, that also required bringing out practically all of his talent at once. It wasn't something he could do with a snap of his fingers."

"If he had to do that so early, how many more times would he have to do it? And would he even have any steam left to deal with everything else?"

"... Outside, watching the scenes flash by, Ianjor fell to the ground laughing. He really thought he might pop a lung from wheezing too much."
