Chapter 1963 Third and Fourth

All of this sounded great on paper, but whether he could even find a world in close enough proximity to allow him to do this in a cost-effective way was still up in the air. He had no guarantee that there was a world nearby that was stronger than this one. It was likely that in this entire quadrant of Existence, this was the strongest world for thousands of light years, or worse than even that. Until Ryu grew stronger, finding and locating these stronger worlds to connect to would be a great strain and one that wouldn't necessarily be worth it… However, his conversation with Ailsa had told him something else. In order for Little Gem to have been taken away, there was very likely a strong world ruled by Griffins not too far from this one. In fact, the fact that such a world existed made it incredibly convenient to find… Because he could use [Third Perspective] to lock onto Little Gem. After all, at one point in time, this beast was contracted to him and he had saved the little girl from a fate of being left to die by her Clan. Thanks to this, Ryu found the world almost instantly. However, he didn't finish the process to contact Little Gem. He didn't know what the little one's exact situation was right now, but he did know that if this was a Griffin Clan in the truest sense, then they were powerful beyond measure. His [Third Perspective] couldn't be sensed under normal circumstances, but contacting Little Gem might cause her to become the flaw in the loop, resulting in him being sensed. However, now he knew exactly where Little Gem was and he would make sure to deal with that situation properly. If she was happy, he would leave her be. If she wasn't… Well, he still had a belly full of anger he had yet to vent anywhere just yet. BOOM! Ryu's aura skyrocketed to another level. He pulled on the Griffin World, connecting his Chaotic Silk Meridians to them. At the same time, his [Earth's Gate] usage soared. The Griffin World wasn't just one level above this world, it was an entire three. Meaning, in order for you to have a Lower Founding Dao in this world, you would need to have a Peak Founding Dao in this one. Even Ryu's Dao only counted as a Middle Founding Dao in this one. At the same time, the Chaos Qi was clearly levels beyond as well. Just sensing it made him feel like he was floating on clouds. Ryu forewent using [Earth's Gate] to raise his Dao to the Omniscient Grade. Instead, he pushed it forward. From Middle Founding to Higher Founding… from Higher Founding to Peak Founding. The insights poured into his mind as he felt his Dao take leaps forward by qualitative bounds. And then he began. At that moment, deep within his Spiritual Sea, his Internal Matrix began to shift and change. The eyes were the window to the soul. They were inextricably linked, so much so that Ryu was a bit disappointed in himself for not thinking of taking this step earlier. His plan was simple. After seeing [Earth's Gate] and [Heaven's Gate] in their truest form, he realized that it was a perfected version of precisely what his Internal Matrix was trying to do… at least in one aspect. Right now, his Internal Matrix worked exactly like a real Matrix. It could take an input, handle all the computational rigor, and spit out a nice and easy-to-consume answer. When this was applied to his Dao, it amplified its effects so that it was quasi-similar to a Dao of higher Grade. But what if he could take it a step forward. What if he linked his eyes with his Internal Matrix, allowing it to take on the computational rigors of Fate itself? In that case, his Internal Matrix wouldn't just be spitting out what it hoped his Dao could become, but was instead studying all the paths that his Dao really might take, and producing a result that stood above them all. When Ryu linked them like this, he felt his heart palpitate as he gasped for breath. It wasn't a gasping for breath because he was tired, but rather one akin to a mortal breaking through the surface of a body of water after far too long beneath the surface. It felt like for the first time… he could see, he could feel, he could breathe. The connection between his soul and his eyes was suddenly perfected and at that moment… His Spacetime Soul Nature finally gained a companion. The Spacetime Star he had absorbed from the Zu Clan Ancestor was so powerful that he hadn't even been able to think about getting another. Although his Perfect Blackbody could help him gain Soul Natures, if one was more powerful than the other, any he consumed would be suppressed. In all this time, he had yet to run into a second affinity that he could absorb into his soul that would match the Zu Clan Ancestor's might. However, what Ryu hadn't known was that his third and fourth Soul Natures would be sitting right in his head. The moment the linkage was forged, there was a feedback loop that formed between his Perfect Blackbody Soul and his eyes. In that moment, he seemed to see through Fate and Karma far more clearly than he ever had before. And in that same instant, his Heavenly Pupils' abilities took yet another step forward as though he had finally gained more of a right to control them. Ryu was shaken. He could see something now that he had never been able to see through before, and what it was shocked him to his very core. 'It can't be?' Ryu's eyes widened, however in that temporary lapse, his control over Time slipped and the world accelerated around him. BOOM! BOOM! The skies overturned as Aria appeared in the skies.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
