[AN: Accidentally uploaded the wrong chapter for the last one. If you can't see the updated chapter and still see a chapter from another novel, then go to your settings in app to clear cache, then try again. That will fix it. Also, important Author's Note below] Ryu turned away from the Title as though he didn't care for it at all. But the moment he saw it, he understood.

Grand Ancestral Bloodlines… wasn't that something he used to hang his hat on? It was the name of the very Bloodlines that coursed within them.

But this Title… it was both the same and very different.

Iam had said it himself. His aim was different from Ryu's own. His goal was to be a Ruin Master of ages, to honor the past in ways that the future didn't seem capable of doing.

And wasn't that exactly what Grand Ancestral Bloodlines were? Homages to a past lineage, a culmination of history, pain, and suffering in the way that few other things could.

Ryu had experienced it personally. Maybe many of the things that he had suffered through he would have never had to if his Bloodline had been different, had he been too weak for the Martial Gods to target, or even deeper… had his great-grandfather not been Primus but a much more benevolent man.

A Bloodline represented a lineage. A Grand Ancestral Bloodline represented the pinnacle of that. The word Ancestral was chosen for a very good and important reason. It was, at the core of its being, a call to the ones that came before yourself and all the hardship they had gone through to build up your talent to what it was.

The Fate that bound it, that moved it, that decided much of the path of its descendants… these were all things that were decided long ago, but they also held within them a story.
