"wh.....what, who? who are you "Ryu stuttered with eyes wide open when he heard a voice in his head that also have access to his memories without him knowing.
"I'm the universe dragon and you will be my master after 9 billion years I have been without a master, and I am also the indestructible Primal Body as I'm the only one in this universe who can transmit the physique, so congratulations master" the multi-colored dragon explained.
Ryu was still confounded as this doesn't add up, he should have only gotten a physique but not only that he also got a supposedly powerful dragon.
"But the master only create a formation with an egg and the nine elements crystals, so how did it result in you, "asked Ryu still bewildered and a little scared.
"Well, your master was trapped when he took me from the alter I was placed by my last master, I was put on a altar with an array named nine elements gathering array which was nourishing me when he triggered the array for identifying a person with your type of physique, which activates the trap as he wasn't with the nine gathering element physique, that his why he needed you to release him from the array, and this idea of him constructing this formation was my influence on him unknown by him, he still thinks he's a genius and he invented this, quite amusing, hahaha" the dragon explained and boasted while laughing shamelessly.
Ryu's expression looked strange when he heard his master being abused but didn't stop the dragon as he didn't have much respect for this his master for now. "So you played my master to make all this, so about me being at least at god foundation realm to release him to is a lie, "Ryu ask probing the dragon.
"No that wasn't a lie, none of what I told him is a lie, as he has used millions of years in the array and the array would have also strengthened a thousand times so you probably need about to be at least soul awakening realm to be able to help him, "the dragon said to Ryu to clarify that he didn't trick lyan totally.
"Okay now I'm a little bit assured about how you get inside my head, but how would I know you won't hurt me or betray me," Ryu asked doubtfully to the dragon.
"I won't as you are my master as I'm bound by the heavenly restrictions, you are my master after billions of years as I was injured and on the verge of death which makes my last master put me on the altar inside the nine element gathering array to keep me alive before he dies, after being injured I had to turn back to an egg to be alive, so you are like a life-saving array for me now as you have the nine element gathering physique which is the ideal life talisman for me as you are the nine elements gathering physique bearer for this generation in this whole universe" the dragon explained thoroughly and sadly to Ryu.
Ryu was also sad when he heard the tragic story of the dragon." but you were still surviving in the array, right? Why can you just stay there but go through all this trouble for millions of years" Ryu asked suspiciously.
"No I can't stay there anymore as the array has become partly damaged after being there for billions of years and I can't get stronger if I didn't live off you as my master, this is one of the restrictions placed on me by this universe, my last master constructed the array thinking that my next master will be there after a billion as since ancient times, the world has always produced an inheritor of the indestructible Primal physique every billion years and by destiny or somehow the inheritor will be lead to me and be my new master, but I think the law of this universe is broken, I can feel it as I'm a part of this universe, I was born from it"the dragon explained to Ryu to understand why he can't betray him.
"Okay, I believe you so what can you do for me, your power, usefulness, and purpose to me as your master," Ryu asks Shamelessly about what is the usefulness of the dragon him.
"Master! You can still ask that I helped you awakens the strongest physique in the universe and I can come out and fight with you when you encounter stronger enemies and I will be guiding you on cultivation, life and so many things I can do, so master don't underestimate me as I'm the almighty universe dragon of all time, and will still be till the end of this universe "the child-like imposing voice of the dragon rang out proud boasting about his usefulness and achievement.
Ryu was speechless when he heard the dragon's voice, he thought 'is this a being uncountable billions of years old, behaving like a child here, who should be behaving like a child here, isn't that me, well maybe because he's just reborn and still have a mentality of a child, that must be, that must be it
"Master, you are speechless, right? yes definitely you must be speechless having heard how useful I am and my achievement as billions of years being. master you know I saved the universe sometimes with....." the dragon want to continue boasting about his achievement and all, when Ryu stopped him"okay okay, I know you are great and powerful but we still have things to do and my revenge, which you will help me with, and I need to stop being motionless to assured that anxious guy over there" Ryu pointed to his master, lyan, when Ryu talked over his revenge, deep hatred burst out from the depth of his soul that makes even the little dragon flinch and disappear instantly.
"Okay master I will stop talking now but master which name do you want to give me my past masters named me for their convenience as I'm sure you won't be willing to be calling me 'universe dragon ' all the time right?" the dragon said.
Ryu thought and nodded as the dragon is right "okay I will be calling you 'little long' as you are kinda cute that name is suitable for you now" Ryu was quite satisfied with his naming skills.
"What!? master, you can't call me that, that name belittles me too much as I'm uncountable billions of years old, that name is not suitable for me, no no no. I don't want that name, change it, Change it quickly "the dragon whined and said 'no' repeatedly as he was disgruntled with the name.
Ryu was dissatisfied with the dragon complaining about his naming skills, he growled "the name is suitable for you, and you dare question my naming skills, humph"
"No master, but your naming skills is not good...." the dragon continue to whine inside Ryu's head but he ignores him and open his eyes, the moment he opened his eyes he was shocked as he can't believe what is happening to him right. Ryu was shocked as his eyes now can penetrate the hall building to see through it, he sees through the cave and past it, it was amazing, he looked toward lyan and see a mass of fog now, he thinks "the mass of fog should be the energy used to produce the clone, he was still shocked as that means he can see through all things now.
"Master you are quite amazing as you awakened the 'All-Encompassing Seeing Eyes' with the physique, it is not all the owner of this physique that can have it, that means you are quite talented too...."little long kept praising Ryu and his pride swells up too, he wants to reply to the dragon but his master is already here so he has to quit talking to the dragon.
Ryu master,lyan Walked over and said anxiously "Are you okay, do you succeed in awakening the physique, I'm quite disturbed when I saw you still there motionless when the qi stopped circulating in your body, I wanted to barge inside the formation and check on you but just stopped myself as It may ruin everything"lyan was quite anxious even as an ancient god if he doesn't have some patience he would have barged in the formation to check on Ryu.
Ryu's heart was warmed when he saw lyan caring about him, at least he have lyan as his master till he found a solution for his mother and of course to lyan too as this is just a clone and nothing more.
"I'm fine just checking out the physique and what I got, it's quite amazing and I awakened an eye where I can see through past all things, even I can see past you and see the fog this clone is made of, thank you, master, disciple is grateful for this opportunity gave me "Ryu bowed to lyan to express his gratefulness but he didn't mention little long as that will be part of his greatest secret now.
Lyan was dumbfounded when he found that Ryu can see past him to see the fog, as even a god world realm powerhouse can't see past him with any eye techniques but Ryu can ' that's great too as the more powerful he is the better for me and I'm quite happy for having this kind of a disciple ' lyan though joyfully.
He came back to his sense after looking in Infront of him and seeing Ryu still bowing, he hurriedly waves his hand, and an invisible energy raised Ryu's head from bowing to him.
"Ryu, it's okay just stand up already and if you didn't have this physique you won't be able to get this so I don't do much in this matter,"lyan said while blowing his beard.
"Okay master but I'm still grateful about it, "Ryu said and lyan nodded helplessly in acknowledgment.
"Master, now I want to cultivate to get stronger to exert revenge on those assassins as I know I can't do that on the sky firebird kingdom and their accomplices for now but I still want to destroy the assassin stronghold to stop them from hurting more people," Ryu said determined.
"You know if you destroy this one, another one will still pop out as in this world there cannot be only good as good and evil are together, like yin and yang but the master will still help you with everything I have now on this one"lyan explained to Ryu with his wisdom but will still help Ryu as he understands Ryu wanted revenge on this assassin for what was done to his mother.
"Okay master I will remember that"Ryu nodded appreciatively to lyan.
"Now let's start on your quest to being powerful "lyan shouted half-jokingly.
