Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1959  A Proxy

Of course, these were all probabilities and not certainties. Thanks to the unruly laws of math, even if he had 90% assurance on every prediction he made, if enough stacked up, he would have less than a 1% assurance in guessing anything.

It didn\'t even particularly take that many variables. A 90% assurance in guessing 44 things in a row would mean that the odds that he would be correct about all of those things would be less than 1%.

That said, the odds that he would be incorrect about all of them would be even less than that by a large margin. However, that hardly mattered when he was trying to guess at things so far into the future.

The problem with parsing apart future events was that every event built on what happened next. That meant that in order for Ryu to have an accurate reading of the future, he *had* to get all 44 of those events correct. If even one thing in the chain was wrong, then it would throw the entire timeline off.

This was all to say that predicting futures related to Dao Gods and probably even Dao Sovereigns was beyond him. He had more assurance against Dao Lords, but the potential added variables could still make it a toss-up…

Unless he was in a world where the Lord Realm was the top Realm that could exist.

Before, Ryu was already able to read Fate in these Holy Worlds in ways that others couldn\'t imagine. It allowed him to find the hidden treasures that others couldn\'t fathom with the greatest of ease. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

And now, his eyes were even more powerful than they had been in the past. It only took him a single glance to see through a great many things.

Without the canopy of a Dao God mucking up the waters, Ryu could see everything clearly.

While he didn\'t know exactly what Reverend Dark Claw was doing in the outside world, he knew that he had sent in a great deal of Dao Lords, and now they were all hunting him down.

Unfortunately for them, they could bend their backs over for years and still not find a single trace of him. There was no one in this world capable of finding him.

Now, it was a matter of what he should do.

He had a plan for entering anyway if he was detected, but what he didn\'t have a plan for was what he would do after he entered should he be detected.

\'The False Shrine\'s core is hidden deep within Fiend territory. Unless I can find a way to lure all of them out, there\'s simply no way to get to it.\'

Back in the Light Holy World, Ryu had meditated and resonated with the world, refining it and snatching it from the jaws of his enemies.

But this situation was very different.

For one, that world had been in a chaotic, half-formed state. That meant that, one, his enemies couldn\'t easily find him even after they sensed him refining it, and two, it was much easier to refine it as a result.

But in this case, the False Shrine was in perfect health, and there was no chaos to distract his enemies from locking onto him.

That said, there was good news as well.

A Lord Grade Holy World was large, about somewhere between the size of the Sixth Heaven and Seventh Heaven of the True Martial World.

That meant that if Ryu could really manage to find a way to lure everyone to a single location, they wouldn\'t be able to make it back in time to stop him even if they were Dao Lords.

\'That might not necessarily be the case,\' Ryu thought after he had this idea. \'Because this is a Lord Grade World, it\'s much easier for them to tear through space than it would be in the outside world. If they\'re willing to risk it, they could really cut down the time they\'d need…

\'Still, only the most powerful of them would be able to do that…\'

Ryu thought of idea after idea before tossing them out one by one.

\'What if…\'

Ryu\'s eyes began to brighten.

All of the problems with these ideas were that he would have to refine the world and the Shrine personally. If he had to be occupied doing that, he would be too vulnerable to attack.

At the same time, while he was quite confident in protecting his life against one Dao Lord, if there were two, three, or several thousand in this world, he would be finished.

It had to be remembered that it was usually incredibly difficult for a Sky God to fight against more than one opponent of their Realm even if they were significantly more powerful.

In the past, this was an amorphous concept to Ryu, but now that he had experienced Lord Control himself, he was beginning to understand it more.

Having more raw power didn\'t directly translate to more Control over the laws of the world. That required more finesse and an intangible will and Focus Qi of sorts.

Even if one Dao Lord was twice as powerful as another, his or her Lord Control wouldn\'t necessarily be. If they were facing off against two opponents who combined their Lord Control to suppress theirs, they would quickly end up on the losing end.

Ryu found all of this to be quite amusing, mostly because he felt that this gave him the opportunity to do quite a few shocking things.

However, that would be for the future. What mattered now was that he certainly couldn\'t allow himself to be surrounded by so many enemies.

So…

\'What if I automate the refinement process through a proxy…?\'
