Chapter 1242 Subtle Feeling

1242 Subtle Feeling

If Starlight didn't return to the Seventh Heaven, that meant that his goal was the Complete Heavenly Path, but that was beside the point. The more troublesome aspect was the fact that Ryu didn't know what he was doing, and after feeling the sense of loss that came with your mind being messed with, Ryu wasn't confident in himself any longer to make deductions about this Starlight. He felt like he was lacking something.

Suddenly Ryu's pupils constricted.

"The Convergence, how could I forget about it?'

Ryu's heartbeat jumped. It took a long while before they came down.

Since he had come to the Fourth Heaven, he hadn't thought about the Convergence even a single time. It seemed to make sense that he was so focused on the Favor Alchemy Sky God's Inheritance, after all, that had always been his first goal, but why had he chosen to focus so much on it to begin with?

If he took a step back and observed it, did it really make much sense? Those two pills were two that he couldn't even use effectively right this moment. While he could still technically take them, it would be far too much of a waste, especially when Ryu felt that he still had far more room to improve.

In addition, right this moment, according to the rules of The Convergence, the greatest opportunities should probably be on Fourth Heaven right now. The timing would be such that a perfect momentum would build up until it reached the Sixth Heaven and the Complete Heavenly Path was prepared to open.

From the timing, it should be somewhere between five to ten years left, it had already been almost two years which meant that all the opportunities of the Fourth Heaven might very likely be gone by now. He had spent a year of that time in a coma, that much couldn't be helped. But he had wasted six months of that strengthening his Dao Heart using those chains, and then months after that traveling covertly and rolling around in bed with Mae.

It wasn't just Ryu either. Many of the geniuses of the Fourth and Fifth Heaven would have begun concentrating their time in the Sixth Heaven as well. They would all naturally believe that the best opportunities waiting for them had to be on the strongest of the Heavens, having no idea that there was likely someone behind them sweeping them all up for himself.

By now, most of the opportunities on the Fourth Heaven were probably already monopolized by Starlight.

As shocking as this was, Ryu still wouldn't have reacted like this if this was all.

If the timeframe was meant to be five years, that was fine. If you added the under two years he had wasted that was only over six years. If that six years was split over three Heavens, everything slid into place well.

However... Thinking back to the tag team event, their participants, at least the ones with the greatest chance to win, were all Half-Step World Sea Realm. Those that would enter the Complete Heavenly Path and have the best chance of ranking the highest would be at the Half-Step Sky God Realm.

If this was the metric of measurement, it would take even the greatest geniuses of the Sixth Heaven ten or so years to cross this divide. For the majority, it would take upwards of double that time.

What did that mean? It meant that if things were meant to be in line with Ryu's generation, then The Convergence should be on a much slower timeline, but why did it feel like things were speeding up? No, more accurately, why did Ryu have such an impression? What reasoning did he have for it? There shouldn't be any references for him to prove this.

Ryu's eyes suddenly widened and he almost stood to his feet.

He had it, he knew where this feeling was coming from.

Back in Sacrum, his third [Intuition] had activated, but it was exceptionally vague. All it told him was to not break through just yet and Ryu had concluded correctly that this was due to his Chaotic Silk Meridians. Since then, there was a vague lingering feeling of what he should do and shouldn't do, a faint feeling that vanished entirely after his eyes were sealed.

Back then, Ryu had truly gone overboard. In order to reach further into the future and extract more power from his future self, he had absorbed far more Black Veined Spirit Seeking Lilies than he should have. The result was him losing access to all of his Heavenly Pupil abilities and he was even blind for a period of time.

But now, that unclear feeling had come back. It was extremely subtle, far more subtle than it had been in the past, but the fact that Ryu could sense it at all when his eyes should be sealed should be a sign that his eyes had become significantly more powerful than they had once been.

That wasn't what was important currently, though. What was important was that he could feel a faint sort of concern related to the coming conclusion of his opportunity.

Ryu didn't need to think to know what it was: it was the Inheritance of the Chaotic Space Sky God. It was clear and obvious that his [Intuition] was referring to it when it spoke about his opportunity. Even so, he had no intention of accepting that Dao Sovereign's Inheritance, it was all meaningless to him except for one matter: the timing of The Convergence.

Due to this faint feeling, Ryu had a ticking time bomb within him, and he could clearly feel it speeding up. This could only mean one thing...

The actions of Starlight, likely under the schemes of the Higher Heavens, was speeding up the pace of the Convergence, so much so that what should have been a several decades long time frame had shortened to maybe half of a single

decade.

A coldness flickered within Ryu's eyes.
