Ryu owed his Granny Miriam more than he could express into words. Yet, she had never heard him accept her as one of his family. Despite having gained another thousand years of memories, this weighed heavily on Ryu.
The truth was that he was right to be skeptical. Hadn't he been correct about the betrayal of his elder sisters? It was just that he had hoped he would be right about this one too. But, he wasn't. In the end, the only thing he could do for his Granny Miriam was make sure she didn't die in vain.
Unfortunately, this resolve came with many problems. Firstly, despite having all the talent in the world, Ryu had no experience cultivating and no guider. When he lived on the Shrine Plane, he focused all of his attention of what he could do. Why would he waste time on cultivation techniques he could never practice?
