Daniel had so many questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't even know where to start. His mind was in complete chaos, and he couldn't even think straight.

He had always imagined different things about his father—both positive and negative. He thought the reason his mother never talked about their father to him or Alice was because she didn't want them to be sad.

But now that he had learned the truth, he couldn't even feel properly shocked or amazed. He didn't know what kind of reaction or emotions he should have right now.

Who could have imagined that his father was a demi-god? A demi-god—two simple words, but words that carried a massive weight.

A demi-god was the ceiling of power in the world, beings who could practically be considered half-immortal. Most likely, unless a true god appeared, nobody would ever be able to kill them.

A ruler who reigned over the world itself—and his father was that kind of person? Then what happened to him? Where did he go? And why was there absolutely no knowledge or public record about his father anywhere?

All the currently known demi-gods in this world were members of the Guardian Council, and every single demi-god in this world was still alive—none of them had ever died.

"So all information about father was erased?" Daniel sighed and turned to his mother.

"It seems that way. A day after his death, everything about him vanished, and everyone forgot him. Even my own family forgot him. The entire world forgot the first man who ever reached the tenth floor of the Tower, and it felt like their memories were rewritten." Liana spoke with a trace of sorrow.

And it wasn't only her words—his father's loyal subordinates had told her the same thing. At that time, she herself had wanted to meet the other demi-gods and ask them about her husband.

She was sure that if anyone was responsible for rewriting the memories of the world, it could only have been the other demi-gods.

They had surely coveted her husband's greatest treasure—the one he received as a reward for being the first to conquer the ninth floor.

Hearing his mother's words, Daniel frowned even more deeply. Memory rewriting was a power that definitely only demi-gods could possess. They might have even used some kind of artifact for it.

But even if the demi-gods of this world managed to rewrite everyone's memories, they shouldn't have been able to do the same in the Celestial Domain.

The Celestial Domain was a completely different world, and he was certain that the demi-gods of the Celestial Domain would never allow outsiders to rewrite the memories of their people.

That meant he might actually be able to find traces of his father in the Celestial Domain. Maybe he could even uncover more information there.

But there was still a problem: if all memories had been rewritten, then how was his mother still able to remember?

"Mom, how do you still remember father?"

Liana froze for a second at her son's words. But then, a faint smile appeared on her face, and her gaze fell on the wedding ring on her finger.

"It's because of this ring. Even though it looks simple, it carries a fragment of your father's power. It protected me from having my memories rewritten, and it will also save me whenever I face a life-or-death situation."

"Looks like father really loved you. He didn't even give something like that to his own kids." Daniel chuckled, clearly joking.

"In fact, he did give something like that to Alice too—a bracelet with the same kind of power. But he told me to give it to her only when she turns eighteen." Liana admitted, sounding a little guilty.

"He gave one to Alice too? But not to me? Maybe I'm not your real son, and you just adopted me?" Daniel said with a smirk.

"Don't say something like that!" Liana suddenly snapped, her voice sharp with anger.

"Alright, alright, my mistake." Daniel smiled, trying to calm his mother down.

"I also asked your father back then why he didn't prepare something like that for our son. He told me that Daniel would never need it."

"I see. Seems like father knew quite a lot." A small grin appeared on Daniel's face. It really looked like his father knew things about his future.

And his instincts told him that his father probably even knew things about his bloodline. But that only raised more questions for him.

Even so, he knew those questions were ones he would have to ask his father directly, not his mother. But there were still things he needed to ask her.

"What happened to father's subordinates? Did they forget everything too?"

"I don't know. It's been a very long time since I last saw them. But I think your father might have given them things like this too, to protect themselves. Most likely, they've just gone into hiding." Liana paused a bit before continuing.

"If you really want to find your father, the first thing you should do is find his subordinates. They're the ones who will know better than anyone what actually happened to him."

Daniel nodded. That thought had crossed his own mind too, but he had no idea where to even begin, especially since his father's subordinates might have gone into hiding.

There were also other dangers—like the possibility that his father's enemies would notice him and come after him.

He still couldn't understand why his father's enemies had left him, his mother, and his sister alone. Wouldn't it have been safer to just wipe out the family of their greatest enemy completely?

Yet, for some reason, they had been spared. Now, though, he worried that if he started searching for his father's subordinates, he would inevitably draw the attention of his father's enemies—enemies who were likely demi-gods themselves.

And even though he trusted in his own strength, there was no way he could win against a demi-god. He'd be crushed in a single second.

But then there was an even more important question:

"Why did the other demi-gods become enemies with father?" He turned and looked at his mother as he asked.
