Ryuk's attention had never been on Aetheris energy.
Even though he could cultivate it and probabaly had the manual for it in the Shop, he had never considered it a priority because he never really thought it was that capable of much power.
He felt it more right to focus on improving his Apex energy cultivation instead.
But that was because, deep in his mind, he wasn't that impressed by Aetheris energy.
He was never aware of its true capability, and that process made him think of it as lesser—something that wasn't worth focusing on compared to improving his Apex energy cultivation.
But now, his heart was soundly beating in excitement.
For now, he could say without a doubt that Aetheris was an energy that wouldn't even pale next to Apex energy.
If anything, it was more overpowering than it, and now he felt the intense urge.
The urge to cultivate it and unlock the dimensions.
