Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1962  Change

BOOM!

Ryu's aura surged.

In a moment, he had already thought of several methods to weaken the pressure on his eyes. But all of them were things he would have to study much more, and it would take far more time than he had right here and now.

In fact, he had also thought of a method of using [Heaven's Gate] and [Earth's Gate] to improve his Internal Matrix. If it worked, then he would no longer just have quasi improvements to his Dao, but his Dao would truly be able to reflect those higher Grades. At that point, he would truly be invincible beneath the Lord Realm across all of Existence, not just here.

But that would also take time.

However…

He happened to be a master of both Space and Time. And unlike others, his affinity was so high that he could comprehend laws even within a time warp. Ryu seemed to freeze in place, his body unmoving. The world around him was unmoved, but in his Inner World, time had practically slowed to a crawl.

His three clones moved at once, seemingly forgetting what their original task was.

The idea for fixing the first was simple.

In an ideal future, Ryu wouldn't need to rely on other Heavens; he could just rely on his own Inner World. At that point, the pressure that using either skill would give him would be next to negligible. When that day came, he would be able to strengthen himself to another Tier with hardly any effort at all.

But his Inner World wasn't at that point yet.

Right now, it had pretty much all the elements there were, and his Realm Heart had already pushed them to Beyond Extreme. As such, right now, Ryu's Inner World was already far more powerful than the world he stood in right this moment. But…

It was missing a foundation of Space and Time. And beyond that, Ryu realized after analyzing his eyes that it would likewise need a Foundation of Fate and Karma as well.

The first two he could probably fix just by finding the World of Time and Space he planned to find anyway. But the latter two would require his own feats to rise to a level that could match a world of such strength.

That would take time.

As a result, though his Inner World was truly powerful right now, it was handicapped by its ironic lack of a strong foundation.

Without that foundation, having such strong elements wouldn't help very much, especially since he hadn't gathered all the False Shrines to stabilize it just yet.

This was all to say that using it for his eyes right now was impossible… But he did have two other methods.

The first was his Chaotic Silk Meridians. The second was his Fate Star and [Tatsuya Constellation]. And maybe he could make it even easier by using both.

His Meridians were a bit of a cheat. No matter which world he was in, it would directly connect to its Chaos Plane.

The irony of that was that if he stepped into a weaker world, then his Chaotic Silk Meridians would also weaken. But that wasn't something that he had to worry about recently.

It could be said that it was a double-edged sword for this reason.

His Fate Star, by comparison, was similar. It was tethered to the Abyssal Plane, but it had a faint line of connection with him no matter where he was.

If he extended this thought, his Spiritual Foundations were similar. But they were less useful in this case because they didn't have the foundation he needed, at least not one nearly as flexible as these two options.

His Fate Star had the foundation of Fate and Karma that he needed because it was the direct representation of both for him.

By comparison, his Chaotic Silk Meridians were flexible. Rather than being tethered to the same spot like his Spiritual Foundations, it could disconnect and connect as it pleased.

If he could find a method to use both in conjunction with one another, he might be able to connect with a stronger world that was nearby and lessen the burden of improving his Daos even further.

However, this was easier said than done…

Setting aside the how for a moment… what about these worlds themselves? How would he find them and pinpoint them?

That was where [Tatsuya Constellation] came into play.

This technique was built from the foundation of [Domain], the movement technique of Hope's Race. It was created using star maps of Existence. The stars would then be a proxy and foundation for your movements in battle, not only amplifying your evasion ability but even your overall combat ability.

This required a ton of leg work because it meant memorizing all the star maps of Existence. If you didn't know the star map of a particular region, you were out of luck and the technique wouldn't be usable for you.

Ryu, however, had managed to find a workaround for this. Rather than wasting his time memorizing so much stuff, he was able to directly map out the stars in real time. So instead of memorizing everything, he was able to recreate the star map of a particular region in real time.

That was where the change in [Tatsuya Constellation] came in.

Ryu had changed the technique once more, not just to incorporate Spacetime like he had in the past, but to also incorporate Fate itself.

By using his own Fate Star as the center of the Constellation, he wasn't just able to use the star map of a particular region, but he was able to warp and change it to small extents, allowing him to exert far more control over the region in combat, even to the point of twisting the laws of the world in his favor.

That was what Ryu planned to do this time.

If he could use his Fate Star to probe around and sense a stronger world, he could then use [Third Perspective] to lock onto it, and then his Chaotic Silk Meridians to tether himself to their Chaos Plane.

Once he succeeded, he would not only be able to use their far stronger Chaos Qi for a moment, but he would be able to use [Heaven's Gate] and [Earth's Gate] to their standards!
