Recognized Change

As Rui surged towards the Kandrian Empire at top speed, his homesickness and nostalgia bubbled over.

He hadn't realized how much he longed to return to the Kandrian Empire.

He longed to put an end to all of this.

He was sick and tired of living on a timeline.

Pressure did indeed push him forward, but it took its toll and could be counter-productive when he didn't need it. Now that he had broken through to the Master Realm, he needed time to consolidate the many massive gains he had made in the past five years.

Additionally, as a person, he needed time to breathe.

Time to think.

He never got a chance to process many of the things that had happened. With less than four years to find the Divine Doctor, he postponed everything that didn't directly contribute to his Martial Art or the goal of finding the Divine Doctor for after the latter was completed.

Now that he was almost there, it was almost surreal, and his paranoia surged.
