1778 Fiends

"I understand." Ryu said after listening to the story of the nine figures.

"You were already aware of this, little boy?"

"My master has told me about the Phoenix Sky God before."

"Your master?"

"Fading Star."

There was a tremble in the air, and the nine figures seemed to understand.

"I see... Your master is quite pitiful."

Ryu nodded. He understood what they meant. From what he knew, his master's world had been destroyed, cutting off the cycle of reincarnation for anyone who survived the catastrophe. It could be said that Fading Star, her husband, and even Hope weren't welcome on this plane at all, as they weren't born beneath its cycle of reincarnation.

"Since Fading Star is your master, that explains quite a lot. There's even less to worry about you, then."

Ryu wasn't worried about any of this at all. As expected, if everyone feared the Phoenix Sky God so much, and he really was some sort of plot concocted by this existence, then it was impossible that these people who could easily see through his other talents could see through his White Phoenix Spiritual Foundation.

Not one of them had even mentioned it.

It could be said that his greatest protection on this front was the Phoenix Sky God themselves. And that was surely amusing to think of.

"Thank you for the opportunity," Ryu said evenly. "If that is all, I will take my leave now."

"Look at him, so eager to leave."

"Maybe that's because you spent all your time plotting for a path to kill him."

"Wait for a moment."

Once again, it was the only voice that could suppress all the others.

"Yes?" Ryu asked.

He seemed much calmer than he usually was, and his tone wasn't nearly as chilly as it often was while speaking to strangers.

He seemed to have undergone a myriad of changes, and his mind still hadn't quite settled down yet. He still needed time to digest what he had gone through, and as he did so, his temperament would slowly become more refined.

Was it true that he had already reached the peak possibility of this technique? It was only partially true...

Ryu had many thoughts on how to improve even further, but they weren't things that could be executed right now.

"Do you have the desire to go to another world?" The voice asked.

"I have the desire to go wherever the highest peak is. If it is not here, then elsewhere is fine."

"Would you like me to help you go to these highest peaks?"

"What would you like me to do?"

"The world your wife has gone to is known as the Eternal Balance World. Your wife's master has certainly made this decision on purpose as it is one of the most troublesome worlds in Existence, not because of the strength of those on the plane, but rather because of its odd state.

"The worlds across Existence are all different in their own quirky ways, but what remains is that the Chaos Plane is almost always devoid of life... except in rare exceptions like this one.

"In the Eternal Balance World, there is a Race known as Fiends. It can be said that before the Phoenix Sky God's rise, the Fiends were the enemy of the world, but they have been greatly suppressed in recent times.

"The Eternal Balance World is one of the few where they still have great influence.

"Do you know what the Fiend Race has in common?"

Ryu's eyes narrowed. "No."

"They all have an inferior version of your Chaotic Silk Meridians. In fact, it can be said that your Chaotic Silk Meridians descended from their Ancestors and were integrated into our cultivation systems over time."

"And you feel no hostility because of that?"

"Why would I? Your Chaotic Silk Meridians played a key role in the current suppression of the Fiends. It can be said that our Real Plane Ancestors reversed the situation precisely because your talent existed."

Ryu understood... and thanks to that, he also knew that he was about to get screwed over.

"As you might imagine, if those of that plane find out that one not of their kind has these Meridians, you will be hunted down even more fiercely than the Dream Wraiths. But because of this, you're also the only one that can do this."

Ryu chuckled.

He had heard the saying that elders were spicier, but this was the first time he had been on the receiving end. But could he complain? He could only blame himself for caring for his wife so much.

Clearly, these nine figures needed a favor from him, but he had ended up being the one doing it to repay a favor instead.

How could he not find it amusing?

Even so, he didn't say a word, taking it all in stride.

"The Eternal Balance World can be said to be teetering, on the verge of becoming the first world in generations to become fully controlled by the Fiend Race. I will need your help to reverse this situation."

"I will do as I've said, but such a thing will take time. A Plane like this will certainly have Dao Gods."

Ryu spoke matter-of-factly, as though it wouldn't be trouble to one day slaughter Dao Gods.

"You do not need to worry about this. I will give you some information, and you will need to succeed within 100 years or else it will be too late."

Ryu had many questions. There were too many things that didn't line up, but a stream of information hit him the next moment and he felt spatial fluctuations around him.

He grit his teeth and forced his mind to focus beneath the stream.

"I agree, but you must send me near where my wife is and allow me to bring along my companions."

"Okay."

These were the last words Ryu heard before he vanished.
