Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1262: Chapter 101: Memory Reset_2

The moment the True Spirit entered the Mother River, information surfaced.

In the Mother River, the True Spirit held no secrets.

Wang Sheng could clearly see everything the True Spirit had experienced, even things that had once been hidden.

“There are traces of two kinds of power, indeed, the beings of the Primordial Ancestor World have hidden many things.”

The Primordial Ancestor World emerged from the “deep waters” when the starry sky lifted its restrictions; it would be strange if there were no issues at all.

“One of the powers is clearly the power of space-time, somewhat similar to the situation on the Star of Three Saints.”

The Star of Three Saints was extremely special; due to the mightiest presence, many beings stole space-time. Once the Dice of Time and Space was revoked, those who stole time would disappear.

The beings of the Primordial Ancestor World were somewhat similar.

“According to the information reflected by the True Spirit, the beings within the Primordial Ancestor World should have long since reached the end of their lifespans. They are only able to persist due to the protection of the Primordial Ancestor World’s rules. Once the True Spirit manifests, they would return to the starry sky’s origin, time backlash would ensue, and they would vanish directly. So if a being from the Primordial Ancestor World were to leave, they would encounter the same fate…”

Regarding this, Wang Sheng always preferred to try directly.

So he directly grabbed a being from the Primordial Ancestor World and threw it into the starry sky.

Watching the river of space-time manifest and bring backlash, Wang Sheng realized his assumption was wrong.

He looked again at the True Spirit in the Mother River.

“As expected, there’s a hint within the True Spirit preventing all beings from thinking about leaving the Primordial Ancestor World.”

“No wonder, no matter how powerful they become, beings of the Primordial Ancestor World never leave it. At most, they go to other small worlds, which also likely offer the same protection.”

Small worlds, in essence, are just “driftwood.”

Compared to the Primordial Ancestor World, they are simply smaller worlds with fewer strong beings; no other differences exist.

Thus, the hint does not restrict these beings from moving to them.

“Indeed, without such a hint in the True Spirit, how could anyone remain in the Primordial Ancestor World upon reaching the seventeenth or eighteenth realm.”

The Primordial Ancestor World is vast, but it merely amounts to one starry sky.

For those in the Twelfth Realm, one starry sky is certainly sufficient for survival.

But once advancing to the Thirteenth Realm, one starry sky starts to feel small, especially to the strong in the Eighteenth Realm.

“However, this isn’t particularly surprising. The Primordial Ancestor World has long been a decayed log under suppression. No matter how normal it seems, its decayed nature can’t be changed, a relic from countless years past. Once revealed, space-time will demand settlement.”

The river of space-time holds a high status; space-time must remain stable. The starry sky can only partially shield its influence, but cannot change the result.

Once the protection of the Primordial Ancestor World is lifted, the entire world would be annihilated in an instant.

Or rather, the destruction of the Primordial Ancestor World is inevitable.

The starry sky, following temporal order, would never protect the Primordial Ancestor World for long.

“Traces of space-time were expected, but the other trace is quite intriguing!”

Above the True Spirit, there are two kinds of power, one being the power of time.

The other is the power of memory.

“The True Spirit shows signs of being reset, meaning memory has been erased. Is this a special case or is it common for all?”

Resetting the memory of a Fourteenth Realm is not something many can achieve.

“Resetting the memory of the Fourteenth Realm must leave substantial causal consequences. Yet in the Mother River, no such consequence is visible. There’s only one possibility: those resetting the memory are uninfluenced by causal effects, and few are capable of this. Or, apart from me, only two entities are likely capable of such—a massive memory reset by the starry sky and the Corrosive Fate Dao.”

So he sought a few suitable targets again.

“Indeed, the memories of all True Spirits have been reset.”

“Memory reset, space-time traces…”

Wang Sheng looked toward the Primordial Ancestor World, his heart silent: “The Primordial Ancestor World is a genuinely existing world, but its interior may not be so real.”

The Primordial Ancestor World undoubtedly exists; the issue with the beings’ time is likely concealed collaboratively by the starry sky and Corrosive Fate Dao, hence even Wang Sheng, who controls the Space-time Dao, could only discern the beings’ temporal issues from the Mother River.

The beings themselves have temporal issues, and their memories have also been erased.

Thus, everything might not be as it appears on the surface.

“Memory reset could either conceal things or direct events toward desired outcomes, or both. What is the nature of the Primordial Ancestor World then?”

The successful establishment of the Mother River allowed Wang Sheng to unveil a layer of the Primordial Ancestor World’s shadow.

“It’s far from enough. Through the Mother River, to influence the fate of beings from the Primordial Ancestor World, continuous advancement is needed.”

Regardless of the reason behind the memory reset.

His involvement could increase variables.

And with the situation in the Primordial Ancestor World, any variables would be advantageous for him, enabling his participation.

Furthermore, it could enhance his power.

“In that case, let the reincarnation plan begin. However, once the reincarnation starts, I’ll have to withstand the time backlash myself!”

Using the Mother River to draw the fates of the beings of the Primordial Ancestor World into the Fate Dao he crafted.

Essentially causing the beings of the Primordial Ancestor World to reincarnate and gain a new life.

If it were the past, it might have been trivial.

But now, realizing the beings of the Primordial Ancestor World owe the river of space-time.

To gain new life, which is more excessive than the Primordial Ancestor World’s obscuring of time, is certainly not simple.

The river of space-time will surely detect temporal anomalies.

These anomalies will directly react to the reincarnated beings, who naturally cannot withstand the backlash, requiring him to bear it.

“Hope it goes smoothly; if the Fate Dao can’t grow, I’ll suffer a big loss!”

The time backlash isn’t much to him.

But expending effort without gain is a loss.

Even though he’s confident, the issues within the Primordial Ancestor World are too numerous; he doesn’t know what changes might occur.

“To ensure success, try using the True Spirit of more powerful cultivators for reincarnation. Only those within the Primordial Ancestor World; the strongest in the starry sky only reach the Thirteenth Realm, which isn’t sufficient. Weaker beings also need experimenting, which can be done with beings from both the Primordial Ancestor World and the starry sky.”

Reincarnation for ordinary beings is simple.

The Mother River silently descended upon the Primordial Ancestor World, selecting numerous True Spirits for reincarnation within it. Of course, these True Spirits were already marked by the Fate Dao Wang Sheng created; the Fate Dao would guide their destinies to the Fourteenth Realm. Later, these reincarnated True Spirits would, like Ye Feng, feed back to the Fate Dao.

“The True Spirits of Fourteenth and Fifteenth Realm beings are hard to find…seems like convincing a few to voluntarily reincarnate is necessary.”

Even within the Primordial Ancestor World, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Realm are not abundant.

Fallen ones are even fewer.

Finding suitable ones for reincarnation isn’t easy.

As for those villainous True Spirits he killed, he’s not a good person but refuses to bear backlash for such cultivators. After obtaining the desired information, he sent them straight to the Eighteen Layers of Hell!

“Seems the target should return to the Starry Sky Palace and Destiny Palace, where internal strife is fierce and both are adversaries; encounters easily escalate into deadly battles involvings Thirteenth, Fourteenth, even Fifteenth Realm cultivators.”

“Since they’re fallen, might as well make use of them.”

So he used Divine Thought sent into the Starry Sky Palace and Destiny Palace to monitor the strong within both factions.

Whenever a cultivator ventured to a small world, he’d follow.

His luck was favorable.

After mere centuries of monitoring, notable gains emerged.

One Fifteenth Realm True Spirit—this one was unlucky, leaving the small world and falling victim to time backlash.

Additionally, three Fourteenth Realm True Spirits, all perished in internal conflicts, along with seven Thirteenth Realm True Spirits, also due to internal strife.

Wang Sheng let the True Spirits enter the Mother River for reincarnation.

“Now, it all depends on performance. Don’t waste the Fortune Fate Dao bestowed upon you…”
