Chapter 1864 Odd


    1864 Odd


    The duo stopped in a mountain range and began to recover. Ryu had used up quite a lot of his stamina using his eyes like that, while the pressure that Lu''card had been under could be imagined. As such, after they left the region, the first order of business was finding somewhere to recuperate.


    It didn''t take Ryu much time to succeed, but he noticed that his Embryonic Qi had a much weaker effect on Lu''card in this world.


    ''It makes sense...''


    Ryu ignored this matter and just fell into a silent meditation.


    He had already noticed several peculiar things about this Beast Domain.


    For one, because there were no Beast Clans, there was a hodgepodge of beasts sprinkled around everywhere.


    Normally, this wouldn''t be that shocking. After all, this was what most wilderness zones were like. There wasn''t usually a rhyme or reason for why a beast would be located somewhere...


    Except for one thing.


    Affinity.


    That was what was so confusing. Beasts with ice affinities would be located in regions of extreme cold. Beasts with fire affinities would be located in regions of extreme heat. Beasts with water affinities would take up regions with large bodies of water, and beasts with earth affinities would prefer rocky lands and underground caverns.


    However, in this place...


    Just now, he had called out to Lu''card. Because of the method he used, six of the nearest Sovereigns appeared. And yet, there was nothing that linked them together.


    There was one ghost-like beast, another metal beast, another that seemed to use blood...


    The differing kinds were endless.


    The obvious explanation was that this was just the natural progression of things in this world where Beasts followed their own paths.


    But even in the case they did, shouldn''t they migrate to regions that matched the path that they had chosen?


    Ryu felt his [Third Perspective] snap back.


    ''Odd... I can understand if there was a little bit of strain, but this much seems... exaggerated.''


    It felt like there was a rubbery string in Ryu''s eyes and he had just pulled it taut. But when he tried to pull it past that point, it snapped back.


    Although this was somewhat useful to have, a few hundred kilometers wasn''t enough as a True Sky God. He could cross that distance in a few blinks, and if he was ever truly in a situation where he needed to observe something, it would definitely have to be from much further away. That was because even with his normal eyes, he could easily scan through everything at that distance.


    His vision was mind-numbingly sharp and couldn''t be explained through normal means.


    ''Odd...''


    It seemed that his [Third Perspective] was just not meant to be used like this. That seemed to be the only reason it was struggling so badly.


    In fact, if not for its mutation, maybe this wouldn''t be possible at all.


    ''Unless...''


    Ryu''s gaze flashed as he seemed to realize something.


    "[Lines of Fate]."


    He scanned a region thousands of kilometers away, and when he gained a grasp of the karma in the region, he cast his [Third Perspective] out again.


    Ryu grinned the moment he saw this.


    His [Third Perspective] zipped over with so much ease that it felt like his previous efforts were just a joke. In fact, it stayed and hovered in the region without the slightest effort.


    ''Doesn''t that mean that...?''


    Ryu almost rubbed his hands together. Feeling out for a familiar karmic string within himself, he pulled on it.


    The sight he saw made his nose feel a little hot.
