Chapter 1897 Not the Slightest Bit


    Ryu had Hrakka lay down, his mind still churning with several thoughts.


    Theoretically, transferring Meridians was something that many were capable of. In addition, of all the Races in Existence, Demons were most definitely the most capable of this. This wasn''t just because of some arbitrary connection between Demons, Summons, and Corpse Puppets, though that certainly played part of a role. It could be said that the Origin of Necromancy came from Summoning Necromancers. It was only after this that other paths of Necromancy disseminated into simpler, easier to manage forms.


    This was all to say that all of the mutations and modifications that normal Necromancers were used to making, Summoning Necromancers had pioneered. Of course, this was easy to overlook because often, Summoning Necromancers would just choose to summon more powerful Summons when one of theirs became too weak. However, it could be said that this was a dividing tier between even this rarest breed of Necromancer.


    That said, this wasn''t the main reason why this was possible. Ultimately, the ones that were responsible were the Demons themselves.


    Ryu had already learned that the nature of Nether Qi was chaotic. It opened up many possibilities for paths that could be taken. Rather than Chaos that broke Order, Nether Qi was able to allow chaos within Order, allowing for change and growth.


    It wasn''t a surprise that this Nether Qi was found in the Nether Plane, the place of rebirth. That was where it was most effective, where it could allow for souls to be taken in, reborn, and evolve to a new tier in their next lives, or even regress depending on the situation.


    This was how evolution took place, and how one generation could be better than the former, and so on. However, it was also because of this that regression was possible. Lowercase chaos didn''t guarantee progress, it could easily hamper a person as well.


    This aside, the main point was that the bodies of Demons were the most capable of evolution. However, there was a problem to consider.


    It had to be remembered that Demons could be summoned because of a weakness in their path. They ended up with the worst of both worlds as a result of this, having gained both the weaknesses of the Beast Races and the Human Races.


    Ultimately, it was their connection to the Heavens that might restrict them. They had bodies that were prepped and ready for evolution, but unfortunately if Ryu wanted to allow Hrakka to touch upon true Chaos, it would be difficult.


    It had to be remembered that chaos was still a form of Order, it wasn''t true Chaos. As such, there would be restrictions in doing this. Unless... Well, unless Hrakka was in a world that was completely under Ryu''s control. He was the one that decided what was Order and what was Chaos here.


    Before, he didn''t have the right to do such a thing. But now... he certainly could.


    Ryu made sure that Hrakka was comfortable and in a peaceful state. From time to time, a drop of Embryonic Qi would appear seemingly out of nowhere and fall into her mouth.


    Her body was forced into a perfect state of evolution, constantly becoming small bits better with every drop.


    As this happened, Ryu''s focus was on the Fiends.


    Not all of them were created equal. Fiends were born with a set of Meridians at the start of their life that would decide all of their talent. It seemed that all of these Meridians were just weakened versions of Ryu''s own Chaotic Silk Meridians.


    ''There...''


    Ryu found it. The best pair of Meridians here were a pair of God Grade ones.


    Ryu reached out a hand and several Fire Fiends convulsed. Runes were ripped out of them as well.


    With swift steps, he appeared by Hrakka''s side. But as he was about to press down, he suddenly hesitated.


    What was he doing? Why hadn''t he thought of this before?


    Ryu''s gaze flickered and he sent the Meridians back, using their former bodies to chain them in place. All that was left was a single Sovereign Grade Fire Chaos Meridian.


    With a flash of light, Ryu''s Primordial Fire Chaotic Qi took shape and began to temper it.


    Ryu observed it for a long while, watching the changes.


    Soon, he grinned.


    After just a few seconds, the Sovereign Grade Runes had actually begun to evolve.


    Ryu grabbed out with a hand and flicked a drop of Embryonic Qi on them.


    ''Perfect.''


    The Meridians broke past a barrier and became God Grade.


    Ryu didn''t stop.


    As the Meridians evolved, their aura plummeted. It was like killing two birds with a single stone. Even the Sovereign Aura dropped to Lord, and then by the time it was inching toward Ancient status, it was already beginning to fall back down toward Omniscient.


    Many hours later, Ryu actually had a Primordial Grade set of Meridians for Hrakka that only carried the aura of the Transcended Realm of Cultivation.


    It was only then Ryu pressed it down into Hrakka''s body.


    Would it cause a commotion if people thought he was using a Primordial Grade Talent as a Summon?


    Of course.


    Did he care?


    Not the slightest bit.
