462: Forgotten by the world

Wu Ning summoned Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi to him and asked, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, do you still remember the Merfolk Ancestor?"

Xiao Liu immediately replied, "Master, are you referring to the ancestors of our Merfolk Race? I heard the elders of our clan talk about them when I was little..."

Wu Ning fell silent, then quietly probed the memories of a large number of Merfolk and Merfolk powerhouses.

He finally confirmed that the entire Merfolk Race had lost all memories related to Mi Sheng.

In their minds, even the concept of "Ancestor" had disappeared.

Mi Sheng had not only perished but had also been erased from all traces of her existence.

No one in the world remembered her anymore; even the Merfolk Race, which she had personally created, had forgotten her existence.

To completely erase the existence of a Dominator powerhouse was undoubtedly the work of Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor.

The reason he was not affected should be related to the System.

Wu Ning stared silently at the vast sky, his gaze deep and distant, as if gazing upon the entire myriad heavens.

With a thought, he quickly understood Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor's intention in doing this.

This act was not only to prevent Mi Sheng's Rebirth.

More importantly, it was to avoid startling the fruits that were about to ripen and disrupting the plans of other Dominators in the myriad heavens.

If everyone in the world knew that ascending Dominators would be eaten, who would dare to Breakthrough without a background or backing?

Those ancient existences might have sensed the anomaly over the long years and chose to remain in long slumber, not daring to Ascend.

But as long as they didn't know the truth, there would always be ways to force them to take that final step.

At the same time, after each harvest of ripe fruits, their traces of existence were erased, so that the world would never know the truth about ascending Dominators.

Then, there would be an endless supply of ripe fruits.

Furthermore, this move was also to avoid causing tremors in the myriad heavens and disrupting the stable environment of the entire orchard.

Because only with a good environment can more fruits be produced, allowing all fruits to grow with peace of mind.

If the world knew the truth about ascending Dominators, it would inevitably strike a blow to the cultivation beliefs of countless beings in the myriad heavens, and even cause the Dao Heart of many powerhouses to collapse, leaving them utterly demoralized.

Many Giant powerhouses, if they were not from an Overlord powerful clan and did not have a Great Lord-level existence as their backing, would surely all become silent and hidden.

Just like those ancient Giants who touched the threshold of the Dominator Realm, they would rather be trapped in the Giant Realm, perpetually slumbering, than take that step and be eaten.

Only by being alive are there other possibilities.

And these situations are definitely not what existences like Candle Dragon Demon Ancestor would want to see.

After understanding all this, Wu Ning's heart felt cold, and he no longer had the desire to take the Merfolk Race away.

He entered the Returning Ruins Secret Realm again, wandering around. Most of the traces left by Mi Sheng had disappeared, and he did not touch anything there.

He directly laid down layers of Restrictions, Sealing the entire Returning Ruins Secret Realm.

Wu Ning once again summoned Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi to him and asked, "I've been out for a long time this time, and I plan to return to the clan. Are you willing to come with me?"

"If you don't want to leave, you can stay with the Merfolk Race as well."

"Master, we are both willing to follow you."

The sisters said without hesitation.

"Good!"

Wu Ning smiled and nodded, then left a token and took them directly back to the Wu Clan.

...

"Ning Gege, did something happen on this trip?"

Upon returning to the clan, Luo Wuyou keenly noticed his low spirits and immediately asked with concern.

Fairy Snow Wuxia and Fairy Wind Caiwei also looked at him at the same time, clearly sensing his difference.

The former Wu Ning had a calm expression, occasionally with a faint smile, detached from worldly affairs, as if he didn't worry about anything, always giving people a sense of confidence that everything was under control.

But now, his expression was slightly downcast, and the sense of confidence he once had was gone.

There was a very obvious change.

Looking at their concerned eyes, Wu Ning smiled faintly, "Don't worry, it's nothing. Don't you see I'm perfectly fine?"

The girls exchanged glances and tacitly did not ask further.

After spending some time with them, Wu Ning decided to go into seclusion again and use up all the 120 billion years of accumulated sign-in cultivation.

However, before that, he planned to use up the thousands of annual sign-ins accumulated over the past few millennia.

It was a good opportunity to sign in at various major forces in the Taichu Ancient Realm again.

When he first went to sign in at those forces, he only had Dao Venerable cultivation, and he hadn't been to any truly important places, only having wandered around the periphery.

Now he was already a Celestial Sovereign, and he could also use the Chaos Spirit Pearl to enhance the power of the Sky Covering Umbrella. Except for Overlord forces with a Great Lord in charge, he could basically move freely in other forces.

In less than half a month, Wu Ning used up all several thousand annual sign-ins.

After a round, he once again harvested a large pile of treasures and nearly eighty billion years of sign-in cultivation.

After doing all this, Wu Ning directly took the women with him into the Universe Prison's World Origin space to begin his seclusion.

He sat cross-legged in the deepest part of the Origin space.

Wu Ning suddenly remembered something, and with a thought, several drops of blue-gold liquid appeared before him.

This was Mi Sheng's Dominator essence blood.

It exuded a noble and supreme aura.

Each drop contained extremely terrifying energy, as well as an unparalleled and terrifying pressure that made him feel an extremely powerful force.

If these drops of essence blood were given to a top Merfolk Dao Venerable, it would definitely help him step into the Giant Realm, or if given to Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, it would definitely make their bloodline instantly transform, giving them the potential to Ascend to the Celestial Sovereign Realm in the future.

But he did not intend to do so.

Looking at these drops of Dominator essence blood, Wu Ning's spirit suddenly lifted, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

Not all traces of Mi Sheng's existence had been erased; besides the memories of her in his mind, there were also these drops of Dominator essence blood she had left behind.

With these, he had the possibility of bringing her back to life!

Even some Immortal powerhouses possessed the ability of Rebirth from a drop of blood, let alone a Dominator.

He had seen in some ancient texts that Dominator powerhouses possessed unfathomable Divine Might, coexisting with the Dao; as long as a single thought remained, they had the possibility of Rebirth.

Some strange existences could even revive from others' recollections and memories.

Although he wasn't sure if Mi Sheng could revive from his memories, there was a great possibility of using her Dominator essence blood to bring her back to life.

Of course, reviving a Dominator was definitely not an easy task.

Perhaps only when he Ascended to the Dominator Realm and truly understood the profound mysteries of this supreme Realm would he have the possibility of bringing her back to life.

Wu Ning's desire and urgency to Ascend to the Dominator Realm grew even stronger.

He carefully Sealed the several drops of Dominator essence blood and began to extract his sign-in cultivation, fully devoting himself to seclusion.
