Chapter 2076 Willing

Ryu settled down.

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense for an expert of Little Gem's caliber to have these sorts of treasures on her person. She had probably thrown away more wealth than Ryu had gathered in his life.

To be a Dao God who had lived for so long just came with that sort of territory. In fact, that was the case even if you were just a normal Dao God, let alone if you were an existence that stood above even more Dao Gods.

Still... this left Ryu a bit confused.

If Little Gem had such free reign, then what had stopped her from coming to Ailsa's side all this time?

Was there some disagreement between Ailsa and Little Gem?

Ryu didn't believe so. He would have seen it in Ailsa's memories. And from what he could tell, their relationship was just fine albeit a little stiff after not seeing one

another in so long.

That meant that there was likely something else stopping Little Gem, and it was most definitely related to someone even more powerful than her.

The Griffin World of this quadrant of Greater Existence was most definitely among the most powerful worlds regardless of location and Dao Ceiling.

Whoever could rule such a world would definitely be an existence that was comparable to Ailsa at the very least.

But therein lied something of interest.

Little Gem was a cursed being. The fact she had managed to break that curse should make her unfathomably powerful.

So... was it that Ailsa's potential was still able to suppress and surpass Little Gem's? Or was it that someone had suppressed Little Gem?

Ryu's eyes narrowed.

He was certain that Little Gem was able to talk by now, but the little one hadn't said a single word since returning to his side. There was definitely more to this that she just hadn't gotten to.

And clearly, the reason for that was because Ryu was still too weak.

"Alright." Ryu chuckled, reaching up and stroking Little Gem's fur.

In that case, he would focus on other things first. He still had two men to make suffer particularly horrid deaths.

Ryu lost himself in his work.

The more he practiced Necromancy, the more he realized just how much he liked it. In his first life, the Secondary Professions he picked up were just a means to an end. He wanted to make himself useful and the idea of rotting away on the Shrine Plane every day for the rest of his life was suffocating.

Ryu stood, feeling that he had spent almost too much time on these two Corpse Puppets, and he had neglected his Summons too much.

Between building their armors, and allowing Kira to absorb a great deal of Ancient Beast Blood, and Blue to consume the 13th Ranked Heavenly Pupils, it was about time his Summons got some attention too.

Not long later, Ryu stood before Aria, Hrakka, and Empana.

Aria was still writhing around like an infuriated wild animal. It could only be said that her energy was truly great.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Of them all, Empana was lagging behind the most. He had reverted back to his World Serpent Bloodline, but compared to Hrakka who had been soaking in Embryonic Qi for decades, and Aria who was already a world-shocking talent from the start, it was

clear that he had lagged considerably.

However, comparatively speaking... Empana was also the one among them with the fiercest Dao Heart. And Ryu had an idea for that.

"Empana, it will take you time to catch up to them, normally speaking, that is... but I have an idea for a new cultivation system and you are perfect for it." Empana was taken aback, not quite knowing what to say. If it was anyone else who

was speaking about a new cultivation system, he might look at them as though they

were a fool.

How long had the current system existed for? Who was arrogant enough to say that they had a new method?

"... I am willing." Empana said.

Ryu's gaze sparkled. "Little Gem."

Little Gem lazily yawned and then waved a palm. A strong world energy descended

and Empana found his cultivation being stripped from him layer by layer, piece by piece.

He was stunned.

The amount of people who wanted a chance to recultivate amounted to probably

100% of the population. Who could say that they had taken every step perfectly?

"Stay sharp. Ryu said coldly. "I will now transfer the method to you. Whether you can make it to the very end will be dependent on yourself. You have all the resources in the world here.

"If your Dao Heart is strong, you will thrive. If not, you will fall here!"
