Easily?

As Ryu moved forward, the heat constantly threatening to burn him to a crisp as he moved.

In truth, the Favor Alchemy Sky God would probably have the answer he wanted in regards to this significance of the Nine Pillars and whether or not they were related to the Nine Pillar Flame Sky God, but considering the state that woman was in, he didn't quite feel like communicating with her. Plus, she had said those words about not wanting to expose herself.

Ryu felt a strange case of dejavu in this instance. The Favor Alchemy Sky God was quite the beauty, but much like that day he learned of the truth of Sarriel's Dao Heart, he couldn't find himself feeling very attracted to her right now.

She felt more despair toward his Fate Star than even he did, and though he could guess at the reasons why, he simply didn't care. He simply couldn't understand giving up so easily, not when you still had the strength to fight.
