I'll give my daughter one more second.

"What do you mean? Yun Ying, you were born a ball!?"

Born as a ball? That reminds me of Nezha. Wu Shen thought to himself.

"Well, I don't know the specific reason either. But I was indeed born in the form of a ball of light. I've maintained that form ever since, and my consciousness is hazy, but my perception of the outside world is normal. I just can't communicate with the outside world, but I'm still carefully taken care of by my parents."

"I couldn't say anything or do anything. I was very lonely at that time, and for some reason, my father disappeared for a long period of time and was not by my side. Only my mother and Sister Lan took care of me."

"Until one day, I suddenly discovered something strange. When I was in a hazy dream, I could vaguely see my father playing with other strange women and little girls." Yun Ying pouted, revealing a jealous expression.

"At the time, I naively thought that I had awakened a power similar to clairvoyance or the ability to peek through gaps like my mother. So I tried to guide my dreams. Little by little, I was able to enter my dreams at will, watching my father's every move like watching a movie."

"And almost every time I dream, the woman and the little girl next to my father change, while my mother is still alone in the dream. When I was very young, I felt very angry and very envious." Yun Ying said, her complex expression constantly changing.

"What angered me was that my father abandoned me to fool around with other women and little girls, and what I envied was that other little girls could interact and play with their fathers normally. I was very upset at the time, thinking that it was because my appearance made my father feel disgusted and troubled, so he secretly left me and my mother to find other women."

Yunying's feelings were extremely complicated at the time, especially when she saw other little girls acting cute and chatting with their fathers. The envy and jealousy almost drove her to madness.

"Ugh, I never imagined Dad would be this kind of person." Mai pouted.

"Tsk tsk, Father, I misjudged you." Yu Yin turned her head away, looking very disappointed.

"Did this really happen? I abandoned Zi and went to find other women!?" Wu Shen looked incredulous.

No way! Knowing himself as he did, he felt he was absolutely not the kind of person who would do that. Even if Yun Ying was born as a ball of light, he could never abandon her. This doesn't make sense!

He absolutely refused to believe that he would commit such a despicable act as abandoning his wife and daughter.

And why does it always change between lolis and women? Does that mean I can have a bunch of affairs in that world?

"In my hazy dream state, I was filled with a lot of complicated feelings, including anger and envy. At that time, I couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, nor could I tell the difference between truth and falsehood. I was simply thinking maliciously, 'If all those annoying guys disappeared, would Dad come back to me and Mom?'"

"and then?"

"Then, for some reason, my wish actually came true. Those annoying guys in my dream really started to disappear slowly, and my father and those women gradually became strangers, until finally they became complete strangers to each other."

"Later, after this incident, I gradually stopped dreaming. And miraculously, my sphere of light suddenly disappeared, and overnight I became an ordinary baby. That very night, my father, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly returned."

"It seemed that all my wishes had come true. I began to grow up slowly like a normal little girl. However, when I was about five or six years old and began to understand things, I learned that my father's departure during that time was not to abandon my mother and me, but to go with my grandfather to find a way to solve the problem of the light sphere."

"After I returned to normal that night, my father naturally ended his task of finding a solution and returned home."

"Phew... I knew it. How could I possibly abandon Zi and Yunying?" After hearing Yunying's explanation, Wu Shen wiped the sweat from his face and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

It turns out it was just a false alarm. I knew I could never become a scumbag. Wu Shen thought to himself.

However, since it wasn't him who abandoned Zi and Yunying, what exactly were those scenes that Yunying saw...? Wu Shen pondered in his heart, and suddenly a terrifying possibility came to mind.

"That's not right. If Father didn't cheat on his wife, then what exactly happened in those scenes you saw, Yunying?!" Yueyin frowned slightly, she had already vaguely guessed something, and her expression became serious.

The sights Yunying saw were probably...

"I only suddenly understood what those scenes were a year later, after I started learning from my grandmother and mother and gradually mastered my own power. It was then that I truly understood my own power and realized how big a mistake I had made." As Yun Ying spoke, her eyes suddenly turned despairing.

Chapter 1018 Dad was kidnapped!

"Yun Ying made a mistake? Judging from the description just now, it doesn't seem like she made any wrong decisions, right?" Qian Hui looked completely bewildered.

"I suspect it's related to the strange woman and the strange little girl Yunying mentioned in her dream. If I'm not mistaken, those women and little girls might not be unfamiliar to us at all," Yuyin said, stroking her chin.

The lolis remained silent, each having inferred something from Yunying's earlier description.

"To me at that time, they were indeed strange women and lolis, but in reality, what I saw was a dance costume and my parents' daily life..." Yun Ying looked around and hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out in one go.

"Eh? Yunying dreamt that her father's affair partner was her mother!?" Mai's mouth dropped open in surprise.

"Wuyi, why are you so surprised? I thought you had guessed something when I saw you looking so thoughtful." Yuyin said, embarrassed.

"Because you all had such thoughtful expressions just now. I felt like I'd be embarrassed if I didn't make the same face. Wait, this isn't the time to talk about that. What Yunying meant was that the person her father was having an affair with was my mother? And that strange little girl was referring to me?"

"In fact, what I saw was not just the dance costume, but also fragments of everyone's daily lives, such as Rain Sound, Moon Sound, Night Song... I glimpsed them all back then..."

"Wow, was Dad this strong from the beginning? I thought it was all thanks to me."

"Wuyi, you still don't understand. I didn't cheat on you at all. The things Yunying saw never happened in that world." Wu Shen covered his face and rubbed his forehead.

“Dad is right. At first, I thought it was just my imagination in my dreams, or a kind of power like clairvoyance. But after I came to understand this ability, I realized that what I saw back then represented other possible timelines.”

"If it were just something I saw, it wouldn't be a big deal. But my ability seems to be more terrifying than I imagined. In my mother's words, it's called the power to devour possibilities."

"The possibility of devouring? That sounds delicious." Night Song's eyes sparkled.

Wu Shen, a powerful figure in the mystical realm, knew a great deal about the powers of monsters and gods. Because these beings were often born from concepts or beliefs, they each possessed a representative ability.

Purple is the power to manipulate the level of realm, Sanae is the power to trigger the level of miracles, and Sanae's ancestor and her old friend have the ability to create the level of heaven and earth.

"The taste? It really does taste good." Yun Ying said, sticking out her little tongue and smacking her lips. She even swallowed a mouthful of loli juice, and her stomach started growling.

Because the surroundings were very quiet, Yunying's voice was exceptionally clear and distinct. When she came to her senses, her face immediately flushed.

"Ahem, we've gone off-topic. Let's not talk about that... Do you remember what wish I made after I misunderstood Dad?"

"With a mix of emotions including envy, jealousy, longing, and malice, I had the thought that 'if all those annoying guys disappeared, Dad would come back to me and Mom.'"

"With such immature thoughts, as an infant, I instinctively activated my immature abilities and devoured the possibility of everyone's existence. This is the source of the crisis of my daughter's disappearance."

"The reason why I immediately transformed from a ball of light into a normal baby after my wish for the strange woman and the loli to disappear was fulfilled is because my food itself is the ethereal thing called 'possibility'. By consuming everyone's possibilities as nourishment, I began to develop and grow normally."

"Uh, isn't there any way to spit out what you've eaten? Yunying, didn't you say you had mastered the ability later?" Wu Shen asked.

"I tried, but it was no use at all. At most, I could barely maintain the remnants of the possibility and keep Mai and the others from disappearing. But I was powerless to change the future that had already been altered."

In the future described by Mai and others, the father and mother become increasingly estranged, eventually becoming complete strangers, and even if their daughter appears in front of them, they will not recognize them.

The reason for this situation is that Yunying has unconsciously consumed this possibility.

As for Mai and the others, they were "remnants of possibility" and barely managed to maintain their existence after Yun Ying woke up.

"But even so, we are all interconnected. Without the possibility of a future, my daughter's existence is just like a rootless duckweed on a vast expanse of water. If things continue like this, she will eventually disappear completely one day," Yun Ying said dejectedly.

"That's why I tried to send everyone to this era, hoping to save everyone in this way. Although the possibility has disappeared, it is not without a way to save it. As long as the father and the corresponding mother do naughty things again, the possibility can be restored."

Yunying's rescue plan was to send everyone back to the past to recreate possibilities. Unfortunately, because Yunying was unable to communicate and explain to them, everyone misunderstood the light orb's intentions in the first reincarnation. Instead of uniting to help their father build a harem, they fought each other to win.

It wasn't until Yueyin suddenly realized her mistake and began to try again and again that Yunying's plan got back on track.

"Hmm? This sounds familiar. Isn't this what I've been working hard to do all along?" Wu Shen said thoughtfully.

“That’s right, Dad really did a great job this time. All of my daughters’ potential has been successfully restored. My plan has also succeeded.”

"Isn't this a good thing? Hmm, if that's the case, hasn't the crisis been resolved? Why do you still want to sacrifice yourself, Yunying?" Wu Shen looked puzzled.

"If only the problem were that easy to solve. In fact, I overlooked something very serious. Eating isn't something you do just once and then forget about. My body keeps growing and needs more and more nutrients. Although I've been trying to control myself, there's always the possibility that my abilities will uncontrollably devour things on their own."

"And just like newborn animals tend to mistake the first thing they see for their mother, my ability seems to have identified the first possible type of elimination, focusing on the possibility of 'father/other women/relationships'."

Wait, doesn't this mean that if Yunying is allowed to eat it, I'll really be destined to be alone for life? That's so awesome! In a sense, this ability is just too awesome!

"Dad, do you know why you're only dating daughters and not sons these days?"

Why?

Speaking of which, Wu Shen had also wondered about this issue before; the probability of everyone being a daughter was quite low.

"Because I've already consumed all the possibilities of Daddy and the others having sons... Waaaaa QWQ. At the time, in order to suppress my desire to eat Mai and the others, my abilities went out of control and I did this. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Yun Ying knelt down on the floor in despair.

"Yun Ying, you ate all your sons?" Wu Shen was dumbfounded.

Yun Ying has such a big appetite! Who knew she was such a foodie?

"No, no, that's not it. It's not that the sons have all disappeared. It's just that the possibility of the father having a son has disappeared. Even if he originally had a son, he would automatically become a girl. It's fundamentally different from the disappearance of Mai and the others, and Mai and the others were all girls to begin with."

"This ability is quite impressive," Wu Shen thought to himself.

"The scientific explanation is that the father's Y chromosome was completely converted into an X chromosome due to various possibilities."

"Yun Ying ate all of Daddy's Y chromosome," Mai said shyly, covering her mouth.

"Don't use such misleading language!" Wu Shen gave Wu Yi a light flick on the forehead on the spot.

"Now Dad, do you understand why I sacrificed myself? Even if I send Mai and the others back to the past and restore their potential, my power will still continue to devour them. It's like harvesting leeks, one wave after another."

Yunying touched her lower abdomen, her expression somber: "I can feel that the time for the next meal is getting closer and closer. I don't want to watch myself make the same mistake again."

“Unless I disappear from this world, the crisis of Mai and the others disappearing will never end. That’s why I said there is no other way.”

"Because of my existence, the crisis will never be resolved. Therefore, as long as I completely disappear from the world, the crisis will also completely disappear."

"Alright, I've told you all the truth, the reasons, and the cause you all wanted to know. Now you should all know that my existence caused these consequences, and that my existence threatened your lives. Hate me as much as you want!!!" Yun Ying lowered her head and shouted in despair.

"..."

Silence. After Yunying's outburst, there was no sound in the entire living room. Everyone had their heads down, seemingly deep in thought.

"I see, so that's the reason? Does anyone have any good solutions?" Yueyin smiled slightly, her sweet but serious voice breaking the unusual silence.

Yu Yin sighed deeply: "No wonder Yun Ying didn't want to tell us. But I'm sure there are other solutions. Let me think about it."

"I suggest we use a Baumkuchen instead to help fill Yunying's hungry little tummy. Once she eats something so delicious, even Yunying's disobedient ability will surely change her mind." Yege raised her little hand.

"Mom, I need to ask you about this. Is there any way to control this power? Or to help Yunying master it?"

"Ahem, although I am very good at practical combat, I still need to consult the ancestors when it comes to theoretical matters. I will go and make some contact in a while."

Instead of saying anything to Yunying, everyone showed her their choice through their actions.

"Aren't you all blaming me?" Yun Ying tilted her head, staring blankly at the little girls and Wu Shen and his mother who were discussing things in the living room.

In her worst-case scenario, everyone would be cursing and demanding her disappear immediately. Even in her best-case scenario, everyone would simply give up and leave without a word.

They were facing a clear dead end, and the possibility of finding a win-win solution other than Yunying's self-sacrifice was very, very small.

However, Yunying was surprised that no one seemed to be giving up at all.

"Fool, why should we blame you?"

"It's because of me that all of this has happened."

“This isn’t Yun Ying’s fault. How can you blame someone for losing control of their abilities?” Wu Shen patted Yun Ying’s head, while secretly reaching into his pocket with his other hand to take out his phone and press the play button on the recording app.
