章 1596: Ethereal Qi (1)

There were only really two ways that this sort of situation would go, and Ryu's instincts toward the bonds of Karma were practically screaming. 

The first way was his death. The Heavens would throw everything at him to release the Faith he had gathered and allow it to spread across multiple people. This wouldn't be a conscious effort, but rather just a natural phenomena no different from heat rising or condensation in the morning. 

The Convergence was designed to build up a large number of experts, at the price of a Dark Age of sorts, usually to deal with a coming threat, though it was often just a natural phenomena of coincidence. 

The fact that so much build up for an entire world was concentrating on Ryu alone was unacceptable to the Heavens and it would try to rectify that. The Heavens didn't know good or evil, it only knew how to maximize the survivability of its children and focused on increasing the strength of its best as well.
