Primus descended and landed on the city walls, looking down with indifference. While he could enter the void, taking the Fire Giant with him would be a waste of his effort. He didn't have a Spatial Nature like Ryu did, so entering the void required his raw power, and the more powerful the object he was taking with him, the more effort it took.
Unfortunately, he couldn't just toss a Dao Sovereign into a spatial ring, it would destroy the space within. While he was a treasure hoarder, that only came to interesting talents and cultivators that caught his attention, in terms of actual wealth, he could be said to be a bit of a pauper, and any wealth he did have was directly invested into his strength.
As such, he didn't have a strong enough or high quality enough spatial ring to withstand the power of the corpse in his hands, so he could only carry it and appear out in the open like this... Not that he cared very much. Someone like him who hated to explain himself had long since grown numb to the gazes of others. He simply didn't care.
After he landed, he swept a gaze toward the situation below and then directly ignored everyone, laying the Fire Giant's body down and taking out a great number of tools. He began thinking to himself that he might have to invest a bit in this matter before he lost himself in his own world.
Ryu sent a glance toward Primus and directly ignored him as well. But just because he could ignore him, didn't mean that others could. Even the perfect woman's brows furrowed, not quite understanding what was happening. What she did understand, though, was that the corpse in Primus' hands was one of the strongest experts of the Fire Giants and probably the Sovereign with the highest chance to enter the Dao God Realm in the future. But now he was just being dissected in front of so many eyes?
Suddenly, the matter became several times more complicated.
If she took Mae's family in, and news about this was found out, how would the Fire Giants react, exactly? She knew that if it was her descendant that had not only been killed, but had their corpse disrespected like this, who knew how much fury she would react with?
Experts weren't known for their fairness. It would be easy for the Dream Asuras to be implicated. On top of that, it wasn't entirely certain that they didn't deserve to be implicated. After all, why would an specialist capable of killing such a powerhouse, especially while being unscathed, appear here of all places and begin dissecting a corpse in such an inconvenient location?
There was a very simple answer to that, and it was of course because of Ryu. Primus didn't want to waste the energy it would take to monitor Ryu from afar, it was far easier if he was in the vicinity, that way he could focus on his task and his natural, unconscious alertness would make him aware of any danger.
And the harsh reality was that Ryu was Mae's husband, and by proxy that tied him to the Dream Asuras. Once the Fire Giants learned of this, they wouldn't just have a selfish reason to attack the Dream Asuras, but a legitimate one, making the situation even worse.
The perfect woman might not know the details of the situation, but she knew that Ryu and Mae were extremely close. If she also learned that Primus was Ryu's great grandfather, the outcome could be imagined.
Ryu was, obviously, able to think through all of this. With the complete Origin Flame on his side, and two of them fused into one at that, his thinking speed was something only very few Sky Gods could match up to, as was his memory and deductive reasoning.
This bastard had only just started following him, and he was already causing trouble.
After thinking for a moment, Ryu's gaze sharpened. He exhaled a breath and his Birthed Phenomena rose into the skies once again. It was time for him to go.
"I'll see you soon," Ryu said to Mae with a smile.
Mae blinked, not quite understanding, but then a roaring Dao rose into the air.
At that moment, Primus froze once again, looking toward his great grandson.
Founding Dao.
The heart of the perfect woman leapt into her throat as Ryu rose into the skies. His aura continued to soar, his Founding Dao stretching across the entire Fifth Plane. Due to the actions of the seven Sovereigns, the Birth Right ceremony had yet to fully conclude as everyone had yet to be sent back home perfectly. As such, the channels that connected the Planes were still wild open and far more vulnerable than they were in usual circumstances.
This was something that Ryu took advantage of, his bright smile lighting up the skies above.
"My name is Ryu Tatsuya, remember it well." Ryu and his Birthed Phenomena punched out in unison, an enormous blackhole of swirling spatial qi forming and ripping a tunnel from the True Nether World and the True Martial World.
Ryu's laughter echoed through the skies as the True Nether World was set ablaze. They had already speculated it before, but it was truly a human that had appeared in their skies. A human had received their Birth Right?! This was unacceptable!
The ridiculing laughter filled the skies.
Primus slowly stood to his feet, his stare flickering before it returned to calm. "Decent." He said lightly.
With a step, he took the Fire Giant and vanished into the swirling portal after Ryu.
A mixed expression took hold of both Rogryll and the perfect woman, while Mae's eyes brimmed with unshed tears. She suddenly realized that she would truly favor to follow Ryu than to be taken in as a Dao God's disciple. But now, there was no other choice.
She bowed deeply toward the perfect woman. "Please take me as your disciple, senior."
The perfect woman startled awake before nodding lightly.
