Chapter 1635 Control
Ryu sat in meditation.
In Sacrum, the Fragmented Realm referred to a failure, a fractured comprehension and an inferior breakthrough.
However, the meanings of this Realm were entirely different in the True Martial World. Well... entirely different was a bit of an exaggeration. In a lot of ways, there was quite some overlap. The main distinguishing factor lay in the fact that there was an obvious path of progression from one step to the next when one was referring to the Sky God Realms.
Ryu realized that those around him were correct.
He understood so much about the mortal realms and immortal realms. From the Awakening Realm to the World Sea Realm, he had studied so much about them that it made him practically sick-especially since he could never practice them himself.
Even when he came to the True Martial World, the overlap was so perfect that he never had to learn more about them. In fact, because the people of Sacrum often spent so much longer in these Realms, taking millions and billions of years to progress, in many ways, their comprehension of the Realms between Awakening and World Sea was even beyond the people here.
Ryu's mistake was in translating the hubris he had gained from realizing his superior knowledge on this front, and then applying it to the Sky God Realm...
In fact, for much of Ryu's life, he just assumed the Sky God Realm was just like the World Sea Realm, a monolithic Realm with only a single stage you either reached or didn't.
But if he couldn't understand these Realms intimately now, how could he bring out their full strength?
Upon reaching Omniscient Control, it wouldn't just be a matter of amplifying power, but the world would return its feedback, allowing one's senses to transcend normal limitations. Whether it was one's speed of thought, one's Spiritual Sense, or even one's sixth sense for danger and detecting things, it would reach an entirely new Realm.
It was even said that against weaker opponents, Omniscient Sky Gods could even peer a little into the future, not because they could control time, but because those with inferior Omniscience could simply not hide their intentions against such an expert.
These were the levels of control, each one stacked atop one another.
At this point, Ryu realized that he had indeed been far too neglectful. He didn't even fully grasp False Control. In fact, he never really used it outside of a passive effort. Most of the "control" he exerted came from his Childe of Order constitution, and it only became more so after he formed his new combat style.
At the same time, Ryu understood what that mysterious feeling coming from his Spiritual Foundation had been.
His Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation had been strengthening the Control he exhibited. No... it felt deeper than that, larger, more substantial. Almost like rather than strengthening it directly... it was giving him the capacity to potentially do so?
It was a weird feeling, one difficult to fully grasp until it suddenly clicked.
False Control was the state where one could take full control of their body, even shifting and displacing organs if they so chose.
What if this new feeling was related to that? What exactly was his Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation trying to tell him?
Ryu fell into his thoughts and then he remembered something else. Those streams of karma he received from the Complete Heavenly Path... weren't they still there?
They had faded, but could they hide from his eyes?
