Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2259  Little Boy

Primus had lost much of the edge he had once had. He still had the same lofty, imposing frame. But it lacked all the substance. It was hard to tell if he was even truly a man anymore.

He had the wide shoulders, but his aura was delicate. He had the fierce eyes, but his eyes were soft. He had the large hands, but his spear almost seemed to droop in his hands as though alluding to something else entirely.

After the death of a wife, the Primordial Yin should surely dissipate. This didn't have to happen immediately, especially if there was a substantial distance—whether in space or time—but given how long it had been since Ryu's great grandmother had fallen, it was only natural that it should have.

This meant that all this time, Primus was using some sort of special method to keep it alive.

On the face of it, this was commendable. Maybe he was hoping that there would be some sort of method to revive her through it alone, or maybe it could help someone that could pinpoint the location of her reincarnation, or wherever it was she might be.

But after seeing this, Ryu was pretty sure that it was another reason entirely.

He had kept it for no reason other than in case he would need to use it in this way—to fuel his ego and reach the level he thought he deserved to.
