The commotion of a Sect rising up to a new Heaven should have been great, and it was. However, as focused and shocked as everyone would usually be when such a thing happened, it was hard to be this time around because too much was going on.

Ryu's breakthrough wasn't the only one happening across the world, and for the Eighth Heaven, there was an especially large bottleneck.

The highest concentration of talent in the True Martial World was located in the Ninth Heaven, obviously. However, the largest concentration of suppressed talents was most definitely located in the Eighth Heaven.

The Ninth Heaven was once thought to be the only Heaven without any suppressive formations in the past, and while this was no longer true as proven by Ryu, the Eighth Heaven still housed the most unsung heroes.

Often, these so-called unsung heroes had even once been geniuses of the Ninth Heaven, but unable to find a place to carve out for themselves amidst the suppression of so many powers and interests, they had no choice but to retreat.

It could be said then that compared to all other Heavens, the Eighth Heaven had the most competition.

The Seventh Heaven had the Heavenly Path protecting the road up, while the Ninth Heaven had settled down into a calm balance after so many years. This left the Eighth Heaven as the Heaven that maybe captured the essence of what it meant to be a cultivator to the greatest extent.

Due to all of these factors, there were a great number of Tribulations triggered in short order on the Eighth Heaven. The skies were particularly volatile and it didn't feel like there was a single location one could go to without being immediately swallowed up by the aura of death.

There were probably a great number of people hovering on pins and needles, so when the Radiant Star Sect suddenly pierced through the veil of space separating the two and established itself once more in the ruins of its own Sect, there weren't very many people who noticed because those that would have the power to do so were occupied by their troubles.

Every single one of them was now dealing with a Tribulation they hadn't prepped for in the slightest.

This should have been a good thing, but there were probably a great number of these former geniuses that could only sigh up at the skies.

Being unable to control the circumstances of your own breakthrough was a great taboo amongst the best of cultivators.

But now, their accumulations were too great to stop it even if they wanted to. They had to settle for the Daos being weaker than they hoped and their foundations only being rated to the former world they were used to.

It was the geniuses who had yet to break into the Sky God Realm that truly benefited the most from this change.

These juniors began to rise up one after another, experiencing a rainfall of breakthroughs in their Daos.

Things that they didn't understand in the past came to them with the ease of a flowing stream…

It was only now they understood just how much the world had hidden from them.

But it wasn't just comprehension that changed either.

The greatest changes were to the Order of talents.

The weight of a God Grade Talent completely changed as the laws that dictated their strengths were overwritten.

Slowly but surely, the entire face of the True Martial World was undergoing a great change.

But Ryu himself didn't seem to care much at all.

After raising the Radiant Star Sect to its former position and fulfilling a second one of his promises in short order, he seemed to vanish from the world entirely.

Sarriel sat in silence, her thighs pressed together as she leaned on a railing.

The deep look in her violet eyes kept changing as she looked out into the world of Fey and Faeries.

She, too, could feel the changes in the laws, and she could almost feel how it had come about.

She really didn't like that annoying man.

The look in her eyes continued to change. From indifference to coldness, and from coldness to disdain, and then from disdain to innocence, and then from innocence to insatiable lust.

'The changes are coming faster…' she thought to herself in a voice that underwent just as many changes.

Still, through them all, there was a bittersweetness that shone through.

She had gone through so much trouble, meticulously laying her foundation step by step, so that she could break through the shackles of this world at some penultimate moment, just in time for the Title Stele.

But this bastard went ahead and just up and made all of her previous efforts useless.

Well… that wasn't exactly the case. Unlike the others already in the Sky God Realm—well, her along with a select few—she wouldn't experience a sudden breakthrough that left her in deep regret.

She, along with those few, were ready for this change. In fact, they had been waiting for it.

It was just that none of them could have ever imagined that someone in their generation would be able to undo it all himself.

Most weren't aware of this at all, but even though she hadn't been there, Sarriel was quite confident in her assessment.

This matter… was definitely related to that man Ryu Tatsuya.

She wondered just how much more powerful he had gotten in such a short time.

A sigh left her lips as her personality changed once more, but then it quickly became a snort, and then a slight moan as she squeezed her thighs together a bit too strongly.

"I don't plan on thanking you," she said in a demure tone.

Hearing her true personality shine through even under the influence of this fluctuating soul, she knew that the time had come.

Her cultivation technique was about to reach Grand Completion. Next time she saw that man, she would have to "thank" him properly.
