1777 No Scruples Left

Ryu was quite warranted in his thoughts. Just how picky were Sky Gods with passing on their Inheritances? It wasn't easy to get one, let alone one this profound.

Restricting it to their own Clan members was the most frequent kind. Only the one truly had no worthy descendants or recourse would they take a path like the Heavenly Path and hope to bolster their odds of a successful breakthrough in this life, or a smoother path in a next one.

Even then, these inheritances were most often restricted by Race. Who would want to help out another Race potentially suppress your own in the future? This was unacceptable.

There was clearly something else going on here, because even these nine had been arguing about whether they should give it to him or not.

In the end, they didn't get the choice at all because Ryu took it for himself.

The reality was that what happened to him just now had only been a test and nothing else. They still hadn't quite decided to do so, but the fact they had given him a test at all meant that they were already leaning toward yes.

In such a case... they had to be fighting for something.

That was when Ryu heard a name he had heard too often already.

"Phoenix Sky God."

Ryu shook his head when he heard these words. It seemed that this Phoenix Sky God wasn't just a problem to his master, but even these existences.

It was hard for Ryu to guess exactly how strong his master was, but he knew she couldn't be bad even amongst Dao Gods. Now, it seemed that even these mysterious entities had the same issue with them.

It was clear that the Phoenix Sky God was a scourge of Existence, carrying enough strength to affect the overall situation.

"We do not know if the Phoenix Sky God was ever truly a Phoenix. There are two possibilities, one of which is far more troubling than the other.

"The first and more acceptable path is that the Phoenix Sky God was born a Phoenix and carved out a new path by fusing Life and Death to form the Cycle of Reincarnation..."

Ryu's eyes narrowed. This was already shocking enough. If the second option was far more fearsome and scary to imagine, then he already knew was it was.

"The second is that the Phoenix Sky God was never Phoenix. They reached the pinnacle in one path and realized they couldn't accomplish what they wanted and decided to switch to another... or worse, they were capable of doing all of this while maintaining their path."

This was indeed the more shocking option. If the Phoenix Sky God was wreaking so much havoc after choosing this path on a whim...

Just how much strength were they hiding?

As for why they would be messing around with Reincarnation so much... it was the one thing the nine figures didn't bother to speak of because it felt obvious and would likely only be one of two explanations.

Either the Phoenix Sky God had lost someone important to them, or they were coming up to the end of their life.

Of the two, it was far more likely to be the latter. With how much control the Phoenix Sky God had over Reincarnation already, the odds that they wouldn't be able to bring back someone they loved were too low.

That left the second option... and that was scarier for reasons they didn't even was to speak about...

If the mighty Phoenix Sky God was truly running to the end of their life, that meant that their scruples would be far fewer...

And if such a powerful figure obsessed with life truly ran to the end of that rope...

Would they take the world with them?
