Ryu's words caused the atmosphere to freeze. It wasn't just a matter of the threat but rather what the threat implied… How did he know so much? Ryu stood calmly in the air as the Blessings continued to fall toward him. He faced off against the various Dao Gods, and in that moment of fluctuation, his eyes flashed like lightning. Ryu's head suddenly turned in a certain direction, landing right in the location Iam was hidden in. "There you are."Iam's expression changed. He had actually been found by a little True Sky God?
He already knew that Ryu had the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils. It had to be remembered that part of the reason Ryu had hidden his eyes for so long back on Sacrum was because just the act of looking into his eyes—when done by a powerful enough expert—would expose him. If an expert of Sacrum could do this, then for the likes of Iam, it was even easier. It took nothing more than a glance. Usually, for existences of Iam's level, Heavenly Pupils didn't carry much of an attraction. Their own paths had long been set and they had reached the pinnacle with them. But… The attraction of a top three ranked Heavenly Pupil was too difficult to ignore. Even if it was just a means of study, it was invaluable. The only reason that Iam had disregarded it for now was because he wasn't shameless enough to attack a junior for such a thing; he had his own pride. And second, he was focused on the task at hand. However, he had taken enough note of Ryu's eyes to know that they shouldn't be able to affect the end result much. Unfortunately… he had been wrong three times over. First, Ryu ruined his Feng Shui diagram, then he ruined their claim over the Holy World, and now he knew secrets that he should have no business knowing. How was any of this possible? Wait… why was he even panicking about a True Sky God finding him? What could Ryu possibly—
The skies changed. It was said that when Gods descended, the skies would open up, birds would sing, and the Heavens would descend with Blessings. But none of these sayings seemed to do the current scene justice. Ryu looked up, but after a glance, he seemed to have already become disinterested. It wasn't his wife. This scene that should have enraptured everyone else was just filled with a bundle of disappointment for him. But then again, he also understood that Ailsa was stuck in a place that she couldn't easily leave. It only made sense for her to send this Higher Dao God. Just now, Ailsa had communicated with him and told him that as long as he could find where Iam was, this matter would be resolved. He had known that it was a small likelihood for Ailsa to appear personally; he was smart enough to guess that. But that didn't stop him from reacting like this. Nobody had the mind to notice Ryu's disappointment, though. That was because everyone was enraptured by this woman. She was simply too beautiful, too perfect. Her hair seemed to be a sea of stars, dancing out like a flowing river. From time to time, the motes of light would form into a strand of long, sparkling hair. But soon afterward, it would return to an amorphous shape. Her eyes were just the same, shining bright like flaring supernovas that made it difficult to tell where her pupils started and ended. Her skin was a delicate brown, exuding a silkiness from a distance that didn't need direct touch, and her armor, being gentle jade green, accentuated her features. She didn't look like a woman… she looked like a work of art, a fixture of nature, a hand-sculpted gift from the Gods. She was truly one of the most beautiful women that Ryu had ever seen, certainly comparable to Mae's master. But after he saw his wife and what she had become, he just couldn't help but feel that everyone else paled in comparison. People became more perfect as they cultivated; that was the purpose of cultivation to begin with. It only made sense that Dao Gods were the most perfect women in the world. But Ryu had seen too many beauties in his life to muster up the care right now. He ignored the descending High Dao God, believing that she'd be able to handle the situation only because his wife had said she would be able to.
He closed his eyes and then focused on the Blessings. The changes to his Inner World were enormous, but he had to find a method of balancing them properly. Luckily, he had a good method. After all, weren't light and darkness opposites of the same coin? If he had to balance Ice on top of that, it was easier because Ice didn't necessarily clash with either one. All he needed to do was find a way for Ice to meld with Light just the same as it had done for Darkness, and that wasn't too difficult at all. When Ice came in contact with Darkness, it gained depth and variety to it; it was unfathomable and difficult to trace. When Ice came in contact with Light, it also gained variety that was especially difficult to trace, but for another reason entirely. It was like a house of mirrors with a myriad of changes within. Ice formed the mirrors, and light refracted across them and rebounded off, forming a confusing array that was probably only a minor step inferior to Lu'card's similar skill. Ryu played around with these things for a bit until he shook his head. In the end, he decided to keep them separate. He separated Ice from Darkness with ease and forced it into a more dormant state. Everything flowed impossibly smoothly from one thought to the next. Ryu's grasp over the elements was exceptionally high; he could see a clear path to the Dao God Realm with them, so how could they not be? But he was more interested in what they could do for his Inner World. These comprehensions would only be a foundation for him. His goals were much taller than just this alone. …
"Star River!" Thaldorin spoke out before he could control himself, his heart trembling. They were aware of the existence of every Dao God in both factions, so how could they not recognize this powerhouse? The issue that they faced was that it shouldn't be possible for Star River to appear here. She was a Higher Dao God, and her station was incredibly important. More pressing than that was… how did she even know what was happening here? Star River ignored them. A pair of Middle Dao Gods was entirely beneath her notice. She glanced at Ryu, expecting to find something special about the boy considering Ailsa had made her come here personally… only to be taken aback by the fact he had only given her a glance before directly ignoring her as though she was just here to serve him, or something. Star River almost laughed in anger. Whether it was her beauty or her strength, when had any man ever ignored her like this? Let alone a True Sky God. However, in the end, there were more important things to care about right now. She raised a palm. The blue skies vanished, the air in the region seemed to be sucked away in a single instant, and then the darkened skies began to twinkle with stars. Without a word, she struck down at the location Ryu's gaze had pointed out. Iam's eyes narrowed. He felt a hint of anger well up in his heart, but in the end, it extinguished as fast as it appeared, his indifference returning. A sigh left his lips, he gave Ryu a final glance, and then he vanished, taking the trio with him. BOOM! The Beast Domain was overturned and large numbers of Fiends were wiped out. 'Run.'
Thaldorin and Tyroth had the same thought and didn't hesitate in the slightest. They split and rushed away. There was a heaviness in the air that they couldn't match and they knew that even if they worked together, they might be lucky to push Star River to a standstill at the cost of heavy injuries to themselves. The situation had changed; it was no longer possible to stick around. Star River glanced at them and didn't bother to pursue. She could easily suppress the two, but actually killing them was another matter. Dao Gods were extremely difficult to kill, to a truly insane degree. If not for Thaldorin and Tyroth having prepared extensively for White Gem, her death wouldn't have gone nearly so smoothly. The world fell into silence and Star River opened her soft lips to speak when she suddenly stopped. She awkwardly paused for a moment, realizing that she would actually have to stand and wait here until Ryu was finished with his meditation session. She was truly speechless… When had she fallen so far as to be a Dao Protector to this hairless brat?
