Chapter 1487 Return
Ryu appeared in the Abyssal Plane, gasping for breath. Everything about these matters was annoyingly difficult. Of course, if others heard his thoughts, they would curse him to the high heavens.
The list of natural treasures that the Heavens had given him would be worth entire Clans and Sects even on the Ninth Heaven. It was a boon the likes of which hardly had any match at all.
The more Ryu thought about it, the more he actually felt that his actions didn''t quite warrant such fanfare. It was almost like the Heavens wanted him to finally complete the Beyond Perfect Extreme Spiritual Foundation.
Ryu had always wondered why the Martial Gods went through so much trouble. It all seemed that their actions had simply pushed him to this point. Maybe he would have never maximized his talents if they never interfered with him in the first place. After all, there was a point in his life where he thought Sacrum was all there was.
Of course, Ryu felt that no matter what, he would have eventually found the True Martial World. But by then, he would have likely long since become a Sky God of Sacrum. Changing his foundations at that point would have been almost impossible, or at the very least, far harder than what he was doing now.
Even if he became a Dao God, those lingering issues from using the wrong cultivation methods for so long would have made him among the weaker Dao Gods and they could easily deal with him even with all his talents.
Plus, if he had become a Sky God before coming to this place, then how would he have entered the Heavenly Paths? The main reason for most of his success until this point?
''There''s likely something I''m missing...''
Ryu coughed as he pushed himself up, heaving deep breaths.
Since the rainbow wind incident, he had gathered several more treasures. By this point, two entire years had passed. He somewhat wondered how others were taking his sudden disappearance, but he didn''t care enough about it to go back and check on it, especially if this might lead to Primus catching him.
He needed a representation of Order. Something that could allow his Spiritual Foundation to take that final step.
Technically, the Heavens already said that he was perfect. On its list, there wasn''t any such thing written upon it. Which made sense, why would the Heavens give up a portion of itself for him?
It was only during those decades in the midst of a time warp that Ryu began to feel that something was missing, that something was out of place.
Then it clicked for him.
He sighed as he stepped back into this familiar world.
He had returned to Sacrum.
...
The Clans and Sects of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Heavens were in a complete uproar.
Over the last two years, some troublemaker had appeared at key sites, one after another, causing disturbances to their divine lands of cultivation and shifting their balance.
However, every time, this person escaped completely unscathed.
This triggered a wild legend to begin to spread, one of a thief in the night and a master that could evade the capture of even Dao Gods.
At one of these spots, Titus Tatsuya stood firmly in silence for a long period before his voice boomed with laughter.
The ground cracked, peaks collapsed, and the skies split as the skies ruptured.
