Chapter 1691 All Out

Chapter 1691 All Out

"Ah, we're here," Ryu looked up, a frigid landscape around him. "Go, Little Silk. Your breakthrough will be dependent on yourself."

QIII!

Little Silk shot off into the distance, leaving Ryu behind.

Ryu watched her go, crossing his arms and waiting. nove(l)bi(n.)com

His relationship with Little Silk was different from his relationship with his other beast companions. That's because he found Little Silk while she was already millions of years old, while he found the others as infants.

Due to this, there had always been a bit of a barrier between himself and Little Silk, especially since the latter had tried to kill him the first time they came across one another.

However, Ryu's father's words about his wives got him thinking about relationships in general. It was amusing that he was hesitant to contract other beasts because they might betray him, but still kept Little Silk mostly at arm's length.

Of course, there were other reasons that he did trust Little Silk. It was mostly because he extended the trust he had for his mother toward her.

It had to be remembered that Little Silk was given to him by his mother after undergoing an evolution that likely relied on the Ice Shrine. Because of that, Ryu had never really been wary of the beast.

And, none of this was helped by the fact that Little Silk was likely somewhat wary of him as well.

By now, Little Silk should have gained some language ability, but she had never tried to actively communicate with Ryu, at least not with anything more than vague emotions.

Ryu didn't believe that this was entirely out of a lack of trust. Little Silk had spent millions of years as an Eleventh Order Beast. Talking wasn't her natural baseline.

'I'll have to help her out a bit,' Ryu thought.

He looked up and then took a seat in the thick snow, allowing it to wash over him. Soon, it was as though Ryu had never been there in the first place, the snow falling so heavily that he was entirely covered up in just a few hours. It was hard to tell just how thick the snow had grown over the years.

In cultivation, how you came to understand something or how you came to feel about something was far more important than what you understood or what you felt.

The first layer of reaction Ryu should have had was a domineering indifference. Wasn't it natural? He deserved to feel pride because he had crushed so many Martial Gods beneath his feet.

The second layer was despair. This came after he shed the first layer and realized just how insignificant he was in the grand scheme.

But what was Ryu's real reaction?

It was the third layer. Once again, he felt a domineering indifference.

But what separated the two? The first layer was the same as the third? So why did they feel different?

It was because he was aware of the existence of the second layer...

He just didn't give a damn.

Trillions of Sky Gods? He didn't care.

Countless Dao Lords and above? He didn't care.

Millions of God techniques, with more seemingly created every day? He didn't care.

One way or another, he would grind the Martial Gods beneath the soles of his feet.

Ryu's heart reached a deep state of peace, his Dao Heart shimmering as though a polished gem.

Then, he began to cultivate, pulling large amounts of Chaos Qi from the Chaos Plane.

He no longer had to hide his talent. In that case, he would go all out.
