While Anya helped the woman Gina and her child, Ning looked around at the water world and asked, "do you think the people here are fed up with living in such a bad world?" he asked.
"Fed up?" Anya asked as she looked around. "I don't think so. Primarily because they have known nothing else aside from this. This is normal life for them, and they would never be fed up with normal life."
"Yes, that's true, but they must want a life where they can live more freely right?" Ning thought. "Do you think they would accept it if I offered it to them?"
Anya turned around with a shocked look on her face. "Master, are you intending to bring all of them along?" she asked.
"Yes," Ning said. "Although, I'm not sure just how many of them will accept."
"If you really want to help, you should go for it. Give them the opportunity and let them decide if they want to leave or not," Anya said.
"Yes, I should do that," Ning said as he nodded. Then, in the next second, his divine sense spread throughout the world covering the entire planet in one go.
The moment he completely captured the world in his head, he sent his invitation to every single human out there that wanted to leave. All they had to do was fly out of the ocean and he would take them to a place where they no longer had to worry about themselves or their children.
Every single human being heard him and started wondering if he was real or not. Most were confused, while some thought he was someone evil who was going to hurt them.
But there were enough of them that were desperate that they took his opportunity and ran for it.
One after another, the humans swam outside the ocean and flew into the sky. They were in their human form and were impatiently waiting for Ning. They were praying that what they had just heard wasn't in their head and was actually true.
Ning took Anya back to her small community where she helped convince everyone to leave with her.
Most of the people in the group were ones that had never seen the other world. They had been born here and had thus spent their entire life in these waters. However, they had heard of the other worlds from Anya and similar other ascended individuals who spoke of a different life. A better life.
Rowan and the others arrived not long after. He couldn't believe that Ning had returned and it was his words that he had heard not long ago.
Ning wasn't close to Rowan, or at least he didn't think of it that way. He was Anya's husband, Sonya and Tanya's father, but in some way, he felt the most distant in that family for him.
It was probably because he had spent way too much time with the others whether it was by teaching them or various other ways.
Blue was closer to Rowan than even Ning was. After Ning had disappeared, everyone was living in the Origin, so they were close to each other that way.
"Alright, let's hurry up. Gina is waiting for us," Ning said and had everyone gather up. After they were all together and were grabbing each other's hands, Ning teleported them all out of the water directly into the island where Gina was.
He dropped them all and let Blue be the defender while he went to get the others.
He teleported around the world, blinking in and out of existence for the people on the island. Every time he disappeared, he would come back a few seconds or a minute later with more people in tow.
He teleported away maybe close to a hundred different times and in that time, he brought back about 20 thousand different people. That was a number that most of these people hadn't even expected to have existed.
They didn't know about the metropolis that was built underwater in various other locations in this world after all.
Ning looked at everyone that was gathered and shook his head. "Only 20 thousand," he thought. There were easily over 3 million people living in this world, but somehow only 20 thousand had decided to leave.
"Well, what can I really do? Its their choice anyway," he thought and slowly drifted below.
The island where he had brought them was so crowded that people had to fly away from it just to not bump into each other while standing still.
Ning looked at everyone and spoke. "You all heard my voice earlier today, and it's true, I will bring you out of this world," he said.
"After I bring you to another world, I will not help you anymore. In regards to finding food or shelter, you will have to work on your own," he said. "What I can promise you is that you will get to live amongst humans and not fishes and that you will have to never live every waking hour in fear that a strong beast will come to attack you. Do you still wish to come with me?"
"YES!" Everyone shouted.
Ning looked at them all. "Good! Then follow me," he said as he turned around and opened a portal mid-air that led them to a massive grassland in the Heavens Court continent that was next to the Blackspire continent.
"Go in," Ning said. The people were a little hesitant to go in, but after the first person went in, everyone started to go in.
One by one, the people entered through the portal while Ning stayed on this side to keep the portal open while they entered.
Since there were thousands of people, he didn't want the portal accidentally closing after a few minutes.
It took them all at least an hour to go through the small portal and once everyone was gone, Ning walked through as well.
He looked back at the world of water through the portal before closing it, never to see that world ever again.
