Chapter 1395 Self-Deprecation

This was a change that was completely unexpected. No one but the most powerful could feel what Primus had done, but it made them just as confused. They didn't know what was happening, and obviously Primus wouldn't be explaining it to them either.

Eska's expression changed somewhat, but she soon calmed down. She had an understanding of the situation that others didn't, so she could easily guess what had happened. She hadn't thought enough about the matter to guess this ahead of time, but now that she had, it made perfect sense. Primus had no reason to risk his chances of completing the Cycle of Karma just to allow Ryu to enter a place that was insignificant to him.

He obviously didn't care about Ryu's progression or how far he would make it. Maybe in Primus opinion, just having him follow him around was a great boon for Ryu and he was actually trying to waste it.

If it was up to him, he would just directly lock Ryu up for these ten years. The trouble was that if he didn't actually help Ryu, then how would he be completing the Cycle of Karma? That said, he didn't have to go above and beyond.

For the sake of Ryu, he had already offended the Nine Powers by being the de facto protector of both Isemeine and Eska. He was already doing more than enough. He didn't have to jeopardize himself any further. Plus, this situation would only be until the Complete Heavenly Path gateway closed. After that, he would release Ryu as though nothing else had happened.

Ryu couldn't move at all as there was a sudden WHOOSH.

Qi began to swirl and rainbow clouds began to shimmer into existence one after another. Soon, an enormous portal had formed.

Usually, when such a large pull of spatial qi was created, there would be some great changes to the region. But this time, nothing of the sort happened. In fact, it was impossibly calm and tranquil, without even the slightest wind.

She felt that it was improper to keep pushing. With a sigh, she waved her hand.

"Enter."

Her command left no room for questions.

Selheira gave Ryu a glance before flickering and vanishing, being the first to enter. Soon, a storm of youths began to fly by.

Jojo didn't forget to give Ryu a glare. "Coward!"

After she said this, she too vanished. Once all of the Seventh Heaven geniuses were gone, the Sixth Heaven geniuses made their move, then the Fifth, and finally the Fourth. Soon, only the seniors and Ryu remained.

Eska sighed. She had never released Ryu's arm as though to signify that she would remain by his side, but at that moment, she suddenly felt a rush of a milky white qi enter her body. Before she could be surprised, she remembered to maintain her calm. She had seasoned too many years of life to lose her composure so easily.

At that moment, the gateway began to slowly shrink, accelerating toward closing until next time.

It was then that a dense grey fog flickered in Ryu's eyes.
