Miracle Valley was annihilated, and the World Tree was uprooted. This was certainly a major event.
The Elf Royal Family would definitely co to investigate, and so Royal Elves would surely arrive.
Given this, the World Tree Seed should be automatically attracted when the Elf Royal Family cos.
The toad said, "How would I know why? Based on the current situation, it seems the Royal Elf hadn’t arrived when this World Tree Seed appeared."
He didn’t understand this either. At least, there wasn’t any related information in his awakened mories, so he could only speculate.
Herag picked up the green World Tree Seed and felt the imnse life energy within it.
With his talent for Desolate Plague, his perception of life energy was very keen.
This little seed contained astonishing life energy.
"Can this thing be placed in a Space Ring?" Herag asked.
The toad replied, "No problem, it doesn’t have self-awareness. Now that it has absorbed your blood, it has your scent and will automatically follow you. Just put it in the Space Ring, and you won’t have to worry about it escaping."
Herag nodded and placed the World Tree Seed into the Space Ring.
He initially wanted to place it in the Black Space, but there was a White Deer there.
Herag wasn’t comfortable with the White Deer, fearing that if he placed the World Tree Seed inside, it might get nibbled away.
Regarding the World Tree Seed, he still needed to ask Chatiya to see if she had any insights.
After storing the World Tree Seed, Herag asked a question he had previously pondered: "My talent spell allows to absorb other bloodlines’ powers. After absorbing the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline, will this affect in any way? What exactly is an Ancestor?"
Discussing these topics with the toad wasn’t revealing any secrets, as the toad already knew everything.
The black little figure once was resolved with the toad’s help.
The toad said, "An Ancestor is a Level 9 creature, an existence that low-tier and middle-tier worlds cannot accommodate. According to my mories, Ancestors are the source of all bloodlines and souls. All bloodlines, powers, and souls flow from them and eventually return to them through unknown ans."
"So you’re saying that possessing the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline ans I might eventually return it?" Herag asked.
If that were the case, everything Herag was doing would ultimately benefit soone else.
The toad said, "I can’t be sure. Ancestors are too mysterious. They are mythical beings. But the issue you’re worried about shouldn’t be a concern; many beings in many planes possess Ancestral-level bloodlines. For example, in the Abyss Plane, that black little figure you saw had the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline."
"Their bloodlines are widely spread, and I’ve never heard of an Ancestor reclaiming their bloodline forcefully. I guess, for Ancestors, creatures with their bloodline only need to undergo the normal cycle of life and death."
"As long as these creatures are in the natural cycle of life and death, their bloodlines, powers, and souls will eventually return to them."
"So you don’t need to worry about an Ancestor suddenly appearing to reclaim your bloodline while you cultivate."
"Beings of an Ancestor’s level wouldn’t have that leisure. You’re overestimating your importance."
The toad finished with a sidelong glance at Herag, a mocking expression on its face.
Herag smiled wryly. The toad wasn’t wrong.
For Ancestors, their bloodlines might be scattered across nurous endless planes.
Among these countless bloodlines, there must be powerful beings, but Ancestors wouldn’t go on a killing spree to reclaim bloodlines, powers, and souls.
For them, it’s better for their bloodlines to be as widespread as possible.
As long as even a sliver of their bloodline exists, they remain eternal.
Creatures with their bloodlines ultimately cannot escape the cycle of life and death.
As long as they die naturally, their bloodlines, powers, and souls will return to themselves without any intervention.
Unless a being with their bloodline can also beco an Ancestral-level existence.
However, reaching the level of an Ancestor represents an entirely different realm.
The toad continued, "I reckon that even if you face the Thunder God Ancestor one day, he might just pat you on the back and say you’re doing great, keep it up."
"Do you know him?" Herag asked.
The toad shook its head, "Of course not. I don’t have any image or related mories of Ancestors in my mind."
Herag pondered the toad’s words, guessing that the toad either genuinely hadn’t encountered Ancestor-level beings, or if it had, it couldn’t retain those mories.
"By the way, have you rembered anything more recently? Based on our conjecture, you should be Nicholas. Why are you in this form now?" Herag asked.
The toad said, "I don’t have any valuable mory yet, but after observing you, I suddenly thought that perhaps I had toad bloodline in before. Now there isn’t any human bloodline in . How I fully transford into this, I have no idea."
Suddenly, Herag thought that since he could absorb other species’ bloodlines, surely other Wizards could too.
The Great Dark Heaven is just a talent spell; there must be similar spells with similar effects.
And without using magic, many Wizards also modify themselves, absorbing and integrating other bloodlines reasonably.
If the toad, when it was a Wizard, absorbed the bloodline of a toad-like demon through so ans, it would explain why a Wizard would transform into a demon from the Abyss Plane.
In theory, such a transformation is possible.
It’s just that the process and reasons for this transformation aren’t clear, and nobody knows how Nicholas turned into his current form. He can only wait for his mories to gradually awaken.
After conversing with the toad for a while, Herag let the toad return, and he flew out of the deep pit.
In the Elf Plane, few would choose to keep a toad as a pet.
So Herag decided not to keep the toad by his side, as it would draw too much attention.
After leaving the deep pit, he quickly departed from Miracle Valley and didn’t enter the small town.
There were still so idle adventurers active in the town, so Herag found a secluded forest to stay in temporarily.
After confirming that no one was around, he took out the Fallen Wings and cut a crevice into a mountainside, and then slipped inside.
Once inside the space of the Fallen Wings, Herag also took out the Black Space, this Level 3 Witchcraft Artifact.
