Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

The Favor Alchemy Sky God looked away, trying to avoid Ryu\'s eye contact. But it was clear and obvious to anyone that she wasn\'t a very good liar. What was more important, though, was that she didn\'t seem to want to divulge this information, which was... odd. That said, it was precisely because of this that Ryu had asked to begin with.

There was an odd feeling coming from the Favor Alchemy Sky God. But even if Ryu couldn\'t sense that, just her eyes alone painted a picture that was impossible to fathom. She had no irises, no whites, and seemingly no pupils either. It was as though her eyes were nothing more than a pair of glass orbs which reflected the night sky.

Ryu wasn\'t exactly opposed to non-humans. In fact, most of his women weren\'t human, and he could hardly be called a true human himself since most of his strength came from his beast Bloodlines.

Plus, there was such a large deviation between the humans of the upper Heavens as well. The only guaranteed method of passing down their strength was through their Bloodlines. After many years of preserving and guarding these Bloodlines, two "humans" might be as far from human as could be. If you looked into their bodies, they wouldn\'t even seem to be the same species of being.

However, the main issue here was that Ryu still felt that the Favor Alchemy Sky God was trying to hide something, and if his guess was correct, it was related to her identity.

Despite the fact he had fused with her Inheritance, when he compared and contrasted it with what he knew about the other Sky Gods he had become the successors of, he realized just how little he knew.

If you took the Shadowlight Sky God, for instance. Ryu knew that he was from the Shadowless Sect, he knew his name and surname, he knew many of his dreams and aspirations in life, and he also had a road map of the key points of his life.

However, when it came to the Favor Alchemy Sky God, outside of the circumstances of her death, he got nothing else out of it. He wasn\'t even sure if she had ever joined a Sect before, he couldn\'t even confirm if she was truly from the Sixth Heaven or if she had just settled here.

Ryu sneered. "You wanted me as a Dao Companion just seconds ago, but now you can\'t tell me something so fundamental about yourself? How would you ever beat my Ailsa?"

The difference was striking. Ryu didn\'t even need to ask to know quite literally everything about Ailsa. He could even see how many times she had peed the bed as a child if he so chose to, they were that intimate.

Even if he took a step back and considered his other wives, because their souls were fused, the effect was quite nearly the same, although not as in depth. He could still know and understand their thoughts and emotions with a single thought. How could they compare to the Favor Alchemy Sky God who wanted to keep something like this a secret?

The Favor Alchemy Sky God\'s expression changed several times. To Ryu\'s shock, she actually seemed to take his words quite seriously.

"I am ... I am ... I am not from the True Martial World."

"You are from a lower world too?" Ryu asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No."

Ryu frowned. It couldn\'t be that there was more out there than even the True Martial World, right?

But that didn\'t necessarily need to be the case either. The True Martial World was just technically the Real Plane. There were still many other Planes. The Nether Plane had living creatures on it, so did the Ethereal Plane, and given how little Ryu knew about the True Martial World up until this point, he wouldn\'t be surprised if there were other things he didn\'t quite understand.

"Are you from one of the Planes?"

"Ah... Yes?"

Ryu\'s frown deepened. Why did she sound so uncertain?

"Stop, stop, stop!" The Favor Alchemy Sky God suddenly covered her ears and buried her head into her knees. She seemed to be in great distress.

Ryu didn\'t even know how to proceed from here. He had thought that there would be a secret behind this, but he didn\'t expect it to be so difficult to get it out of this woman.

"You aren\'t a Martial God, are you?" Ryu asked with a sharp gaze.

The Favor Alchemy Sky God\'s head suddenly snapped up, a look of sheer disdain and derision in her eyes.

"Don\'t compare me to those sexual deviants!"

Ryu\'s lip twitched. He wanted to refute, but then he thought of the jade burning a hole in his spatial ring and nodded his head. That was probably an apt description.

"Wait, what do you know about the Martial Gods? You\'re way too weak to come into contact with them and you can\'t have stepped foot on the Ninth Heaven before, you wouldn\'t have come back alive..."

"Hm? Why wouldn\'t I come back alive?"

"Isn\'t that obvious? Setting aside your Bloodlines, you would probably be crushed by the weight of the gravity alone with your current talent level. Even if you managed to survive that, without the backing of a Dao Lord at the very least, a single step in the Ninth Heaven might cause you to accidentally tread into a God Beast\'s territory."

"On the Ninth Heaven, you\'re still considered a junior even at the Transcended Sky God Realm and you can\'t travel on your own until you reach the Omniscient Sky God Realm at the very least. So how could you survive?"

Ryu raised an eyebrow, but he didn\'t refute.

"Don\'t think you can distract me! What do you know about the Martial Gods?!"

"My First Wife is a Martial God Princess," Ryu replied indifferently.

At that moment, though it was incredibly fleeting, for the first time, Ryu sensed a lethal threat from the Favor Alchemy Sky God. It looked like, in that moment, she had every intention of killing him.
