1777 No Scruples Left
Ryu was quite warranted in his thoughts. Just how picky were Sky Gods with passing on their Inheritances? It wasn't easy to get one, let alone one this profound.
Restricting it to their own Clan members was the most frequent kind. Only the one truly had no worthy descendants or recourse would they take a path like the Heavenly Path and hope to bolster their odds of a successful breakthrough in this life, or a smoother path in a next one.
Even then, these inheritances were most often restricted by Race. Who would want to help out another Race potentially suppress your own in the future? This was unacceptable.
There was clearly something else going on here, because even these nine had been arguing about whether they should give it to him or not.
In the end, they didn't get the choice at all because Ryu took it for himself.
The reality was that what happened to him just now had only been a test and nothing else. They still hadn't quite decided to do so, but the fact they had given him a test at all meant that they were already leaning toward yes.
In such a case… they had to be fighting for something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was when Ryu heard a nhe had heard too often already.
"Phoenix Sky God."
Ryu shook his head when he heard these words. It seemed that this Phoenix Sky God wasn't just a problem to his master, but even these existences.
It was hard for Ryu to guess exactly how strong his master was, but he knew she couldn't be bad even amongst Dao Gods. Now, it seemed that even these mysterious entities had the sissue with them.
It was clear that the Phoenix Sky God was a scourge of Existence, carrying enough strength to affect the overall situation.
And once again, it seemed that he had no choice but to hide his association with this existence, or else who knew what these people might try to do with him?
It was ironic. He was more wary of the Phoenix Sky God than anyone, yet if they knew of how connected he was with them, he would be the only hunted down.
They wouldn't even double check what purpose the Phoenix Sky God might have for him. They would just do whatever they could to stifle those plans.
Due to this, the Phoenix Sky God had woven him into their web and there was little he could do but to help them keep this secret.
But if Ryu was already calm before, he was even more so now.
No one could control his Fate but himself.
"… The Phoenix Sky God has been ruining the path of Reincarnation for too many. We've been putting in efforts to try to stop them, but they're too powerful and too little is known about them.
"They have succeeded in completely separating themselves from the normal bounds of Karma, they can't be detected via normal means. Anything that we can find it abstruse and it's hard to tell if it is the truth or not.
"The Dream Wraiths have been dissatisfied with the Phoenix Sky God for a very long time. It is just that we have still yet to manage to put a stop to their actions.
"Too many worlds have fallen by now, and many have lost the chance to reincarnate entirely. But this is really only the beginning.
"You might be wondering why it is both Dream Wraiths and the Phoenixes exist. The reality is that in the distant past, there were just two paths for the Phoenixes, that being life and death.
"It was only after the appearance of the Phoenix Sky God that the Phoenixes gained Reincarnation. Not only did they gain Reincarnation, but it supplanted Life and Death and becthe ruling class of the Ancient Beast.
"Due to this change, the balance of the world shifted away from the Death Wraiths. Or more accurately, the amount of natural control we have over Reincarnation has been artificially limited, allowing the Phoenix Sky God to act much more freely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We do not know if the Phoenix Sky God was ever truly a Phoenix. There are two possibilities, one of which is far more troubling than the other.
"The first and more acceptable path is that the Phoenix Sky God was born a Phoenix and carved out a new path by fusing Life and Death to form the Cycle of Reincarnation…"
Ryu's eyes narrowed. This was already shocking enough. If the second option was far more fearsand scary to imagine, then he already knew was it was.
"The second is that the Phoenix Sky God was never Phoenix. They reached the pinnacle in one path and realized they couldn't accomplish what they wanted and decided to switch to another… or worse, they were capable of doing all of this while maintaining their path."
This was indeed the more shocking option. If the Phoenix Sky God was wreaking so much havoc after choosing this path on a whim…
Just how much strength were they hiding?
As for why they would be messing around with Reincarnation so much… it was the one thing the nine figures didn't bother to speak of because it felt obvious and would likely only be one of two explanations.
Either the Phoenix Sky God had lost someone important to them, or they were coming up to the end of their life.
Of the two, it was far more likely to be the latter. With how much control the Phoenix Sky God had over Reincarnation already, the odds that they wouldn't be able to bring back someone they loved were too low.
That left the second option… and that was scarier for reasons they didn't even was to speak about…If the mighty Phoenix Sky God was truly running to the end of their life, that meant that their scruples would be far fewer…
And if such a powerful figure obsessed with life truly ran to the end of that rope…
Would they take the world with them?
