Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2144 Make Certain

Chapter 2144  Make Certain

Moments after Young Master Bright noticed, so too did a large number of others. Ryu stood beside his wife, happily chatting. Although things were described as though everyone was close, the reality was that they were separated by spans of entire worlds. The only reason they could chat and interact was because of their formidable cultivation bases. Still, it was also because of the endless darkness and unobstructed views from all angles that they were able to do this as well… Which was why the sudden appearance of a man they hadn't noticed before just… being there didn't make any sense at all. Ryu didn't speak to them, he didn't introduce himself, he didn't make a large showing or flashy entrance. In fact, the only person who knew he was here before anyone else was another one of his wives, Elena. He gave her a smile that put her heart at ease, then pointed at Hope's belly. Elena instantly understood and her eyes shone bright with excitement and a hint of jealousy. She had never been obsessed with the idea of having children either, mostly because when she originally decided to marry Ryu, she didn't think that they would have long together to begin with. It was already hard enough for Ryu to choose to be with her, convincing him to leave a child behind in his death as well would have been even more difficult. So to save him the potential heartache, she chose to never bring it up. But now, she suddenly felt a great urge to have children as well. Elena took a step forward and became a streaking light of pink, sparkling diamond, her wings unfurled in a delicate array. It was only because she did this that people noticed Ryu's presence at all. In fact, others thought that he had always been here, but in reality, he had only just appeared. He thought that he was going to be late, but who expected these people to care more about vapid displays of superiority than they cared about the actual Title Stele event? Each one was obsessed with appearing later than the last, so by the time he got here, he had only just barely managed to be the last. It seemed intentional, but quite frankly… he didn't care enough about these people to do such a thing. What did it matter to him? One way or another, he would crush them just the same. When the time came, they would certainly know him. That said, he also couldn't possibly appear and ignore his wife, right? Elena had already flashed over and the Martial Gods could only frown at the change. This Ryu… they had been looking for him for over two decades now and he had just appeared out of nowhere. And he didn't care to hide his presence from them at all. They frowned. Their Ancestors weren't here. They couldn't leave their location for the moment, not until the time was ripe. Had Ryu done this on purpose? But how could he see through such a thing? After a while, they calmed. It didn't matter. With Ryu here, was there a need to worry about how things would end? The result would only be one thing. Elena threw herself into Ryu's arm and gave him an excited kiss on the lips before entirely ignoring his presence. Hope and Elena hardly knew each other, but in barely a few seconds it was as though they had been lifelong friends. Elena held onto her sister wife's hands, talking excitedly about the baby as though it was her own. And truthfully speaking, it might as well be. This was the sort of thing Elena had always wanted. There was a reason she was so obsessed with getting Ryu to have more wives. This way, in the future… she would have a real family, not one where her parents bedded one another for their Bloodlines or her mother was on her own in an attempt to carve out a path for her and her child… A real family. One no different from the Tatsuyas. Ryu smiled and brought his other wives out. There was an odd sense of satisfaction in his heart as he watched these beauties interact with one another, fluttering around like gorgeous fairies. In the distance, Sarriel rolled her eyes, her focus slipping for just the slightest moment before she went back to staring at the white screen before them like a hound. Even now… she had still only come for one thing. Her final battle with Ryu would come in due time. "Oh?" The Phoenix Princess covered her lips with a hand. Their delicate pink blossomed like petals, a chuckle leaving them. Ryu didn't seem to have eyes for the world around him at all, his white robes and hair completely still. He seemed unmoved and unbothered by it all, as though he had come here for sightseeing as opposed to anything more substantial. "You…" A rumbling echo peeled across the skies. Young Master Bright, who had been smiling all the while, suddenly had a gloomy appearance, sparks of golden lightning shooting out from the sides of his eyes like fine line cracks in space. His wives surrounded him, trying to see what was wrong and soothing his spirit, but though he didn't push them away, his fury wasn't abated. He locked eyes with Ryu. Or, rather, on Ryu's side profile as Ryu still wasn't bothering to pay much attention to the world around him. "A scum of the Mysteries Lineage. I didn't think that there was still one that existed after so many were wiped out. It's good that you've appeared, I will make certain that you are the first to die." CLINK. CLINK. CLANG! Pieces of illusory golden armor clasped onto Young Master Bright's body and then solidified. A howling pressure filled the skies as the call of ancient weapons rang. Several individuals felt the need to restrain their weapons lest they rage out of control. The War God Pupils had appeared.
