Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

1810 Reversal

Ryu was a bit surprised when he heard the Fey Sovereign's words. He knew that he couldn't spend forever on this battlefield, and that the situation would only grow more and more dangerous the longer he stayed, and maybe even a Dao God would move out against him at spoint if he caused too much devastation. But he still didn't expect for the orders to cdown so soon.

Well, a Dao God making a move was probably unrealistic because of the escalation. But what would he do if they sent out two Dao Sovereigns?

Honestly, they just needed to send out a single Dao Lord that wasn't completely incompetent and he would be finished. He didn't take anything that happened today for granted, despite the fact he hadn't taken any pride in it.

"To go where?" Ryu finally asked.

He had a few ideas about what the Fey Sovereign might say, and to his expectations, he got the expected answer.

"Up."

The Fey Sovereign pointed a finger upward.

He didn't explain more because anyone who was born in this world would know what he meant.

This world was quite special in that it wasn't like the True Martial World, having nine Planes with varying tiers of strength. Instead, it was just one large plane with the Chaos and Real Planes divided by the rainbow screen.

However, what was interesting was that while there was just one plane, there were still multiple small worlds within these worlds.

It had been a long while since Ryu entered a Small World, but what was even more interesting about these ones was that they weren't created by the hands of experts or powers like Clans or Sects, but were rather natural phenomena.

In fact, according to the memories that Ryu had been given, they were more like a cross between Worlds and Holy Battlefields.

The former were self-explanatory. As for the latter, one had to recall that a Holy Battlefield was a land where experts had once fought and in droves, and died by a measure just as large.

These spaces tended to leave the Wills of powerful experts behind, and they were often excellent places to learn.

In this world, though, the significance of them was entirely different, because these Holy Worlds were also part of the reason that the Chaos Plane could take precedent in this world.

While it was true that this World seemed to favor the Chaos Plane, the reality was that no world would naturally do so.

While Existence tended toward Chaos, the creation of actual worlds was built on Order. It was odd for a world to break the mold, especially after the Fiend Race had been beaten back as they were.

The real reason behind the rise of the Fiend Race in this world wasn't just their Shrines, though they played a large part. A huge reason was also because of these Holy Worlds.

In Sacrum's history, there had been a great battle between the Fey Race and the Ancient Beasts for dominion over the world. The winner was Blessed by the Heavens and ruled for many years afterward. If not for the decline of their Bloodline, the Tatsuya Clan would have never had a chance to rise up and becas powerful as they did.

At least, that was the story as Ryu knew it.

It could be said that in this world… that battle was still perpetually ongoing, never to stop or pause.

The Holy Worlds were pockets of distortion that held the Heavenly Laws. These worlds had an odd quirk that allowed them to constantly remain in a state of Primordial ripeness.

Primordial was a word reserved for the beginning of worlds. They were the highest state a world had ever achieved.

The problem, of course, with the Primordial State of world is that while these environments were the absolute best for growth, the primitive people who lived under those conditions had yet to create long-lasting heritages and were as such not much stronger than those that ca long while after.

And, by the tthey did have powerful heritages, built on the backs of generations of work, the world was no longer in its strongest state. And as such, they were slightly weaker overall.

This world, though, had constant pockets of Primordial Grade Holy Worlds popping up.

These worlds were exceptionally small, and they had strict rules, but they existed nonetheless.

On top of this, the most important part was that when a battle was "won" in these worlds, it could shift the balance.

Because these Holy World were in a Primordial State, the Faith that one gathered on it could trick the world into thinking the battle for supremacy of Race was still ongoing. As such, it could change the situation and the laws in the real world.

As such, one could imagine just how important these Holy Worlds were, and it also explained why Ryu didn't expect to get such a privilege so early on, either.

Entering these places wasn't a joke, and it could be said that the fate of the entire world was riding on it. Normal people couldn't enter, and this was why there were no true geniuses, or even half geniuses, on this battlefield.

They were all battling it out in the Holy Worlds, hoping to change the situation down here.

Of course, the changes that they could make were limited the lower their cultivation was. After all, the most amount of Fate could only be moved by the truly powerful.

However, even enough ants could take down an elephant should the situation warrant it. As such, even Fragmented Sky Gods had their place in the struggle, let alone True Sky Gods like Ryu.

Was it really that they allowed Chaos to Reign after a reversal? Or was it Chaos that allowed them to exist?
