Ryu crossed the stars with Taedra in tow, the latter's surprise growing by the minute.
Although she was only a newly advanced Dao God, she wasn't exactly ignorant of everything. While she didn't know what a Dao God was, she did know what a Sky God was.
She couldn't see through Ryu's cultivation enough to know that he had long become a Sky God, but she could vaguely sense that her aura was above his, so she thought that he was unlikely to have already entered the Sky God Realm.
And yet… she couldn't keep up at all.
In a bit of an unwilling tantrum, she had no choice but to take hold of Ryu's hand when he offered it. Otherwise, they would spend years crossing the skies just to make it to their destination.
The further they went, however, the more Taedra realized what it meant that they had to go so far to begin with.
