1771 Mutation

The voices came to an abrupt stop. They remained silent for a long while, their shock almost palpable.

They couldn't understand how Ryu's mind worked. It was simply impossible for anyone normal to leap to such a conclusion...

And even more shocking that it was the correct one.

"... I see. What a fascinating mutation."

"You see it too?"

"Yes. To think such a trash Bone Structure could have such powerful, synergistic effects."

"It's not just the Bone Structure. This brat is a freak. Anyone else would have died."

"He benefitted from being targeted. Those Martial Gods sure are shameless. Who attacks a child like this? Not just a child, but a baby who hadn't even been born at that."

"You say that like you're some upright white knight. How many Clans and Sects have you wiped out, exactly? How many of those women you killed happened to be pregnant?"

"That's different. They offended me." A snort rang out.

Ryu frowned. The moment they said such a thing, his mind began churning. When they mentioned his "trash" Bone Structure, he immediately understood and his eyes opened wide.

The trash Bone Structure they were referring to was obviously his Ice Jade Crystal Body. No one would say such a thing about his current Bone Structure.

And if that was the case...

'Maybe I was missing a part of the picture. Could it be that there was more my body did to compensate for my harmed soul than just changing the weight?'

The strongest ability of the Ice Jade Crystal Body, if he were to choose, wasn't how it sped up cultivation speed, but rather its ability to balance.

"... Truly a freak."

"This is interesting, though. We can likely create a cultivation method around this."

"Potentially. But it would be hard to replicate the full effects unless we crack this boy open."

"He's just a human, anyway. Why bother protecting his life. Imagine how valuable such a method would be? Wouldn't we be able to pump out Dao Gods with great ease?"

"I've already said it. We control the path to new life for all Races."

Ryu slowly came back to himself to find the layered voices arguing once more. He couldn't help but be shocked by their vastly different personalities.

It made him wonder what the point of reincarnation was at all. If you were so different every time, could you even be considered the same person? Was there any comfort in reincarnation, then? Who cared if you'd get another shot at life if you couldn't be yourself?

Could it be that he was a coward in a past life?

This was the idea Ryu hadn't the most, and the thought made him even more confident in his decision.

Back in the Martial God Clan, he had cut off his path to Reincarnation by taking the steps he had. The path he had taken didn't come without a great sacrifice.

He already didn't care back then, but now rather than being indifferent, he even felt that it without a doubt the correct choice.

"Enough."

A voice suddenly suppressed the others. It was the one of the nine that Ryu hadn't heard before, and it made him subconsciously look at the Dream Wraith statue.

"Boy. You have already cut off your path to Reincarnation?"

Gasps rang out from the other voices as they too probed. When they realized that the voice was correct, they felt their world views flip upside down.

Such a young man had made this choice?
