There wasn't any light in that place, but Yale could still see the other party without a problem. However, although Yale could see that there was someone in front of him without problems, he was unable to remember anything about that person even though it was just in front of him.
"Who are you?"
Yale was curious about the identity of the other party because that person had mentioned the ocean of memories where Yale was sure had been until some moments ago.
"Quite a normal question, but this isn't the question you want to know the most, right?"
The other party replied with a smile on the face, but Yale forgot about that a second after seeing it.
"Not telling your real question? Can it be that you aren't conscious of what you truly want to know? Then, I will be the one to tell you what you most desire at this moment."
Yale was still clueless about the identity of the other party, but he could also feel that such a question wasn't the one he wanted to know the most.
"What you want to know the most right now is your true identity."
Those words were like a thunderbolt striking in Yale's mind because he realized that he couldn't argue about that.
Yale had just recovered a lot of memories, but those were all of the Life and Death Trial, he had yet to recover his oldest memories. Although Yale had accepted all the lives that he lived in the Life and Death Trials, he also wanted to know about his original identity.
It wasn't that Yale wasn't worried by Aiwai, Wyba, and the others, but he felt that unless he managed to solve that question, he would never be able to leave that dark space that the person in front of him called Timeless Border.
"You are right..."
At that moment, Yale realized that he always wanted to know that. Reincarnating with almost all his memories sealed but the knowledge of being someone who reincarnated, knowing more about his own identity had always been something important for him even though he suppressed such intention later on due to the fear of his current self would disappear if he remembered everything.
However, after his experience in the ocean of memories, Yale knew that there wasn't any need to fear because that was still a part of himself and as long as he accepted it, he wouldn't have any problem.
"It is good that you admit it. However, although I know the answer to your question, that isn't something I should reply."
Yale felt that the other party was mocking of him, but for some reason, he was unable to get angry due to it.
"I can only give you the same quantity of information I give each time someone with a piece of my inheritance come here and with the same value. Do you know? This a great advantage, those without a piece of my legacy wouldn't appear in front of me, and if they would obtain enough information or not would depend on their luck and fate."
Yale hadn't expected the other party to speak so much without waiting for a reply, but he had the sensation that the other party didn't have a lot of chances to speak with others and wanted to use the chance.
"I am the one who created this space, which I called the Timeless Border. Although I said that I created it, I just did it by accident when I committed an unforgivable sin."
Given the smiling face of the self-proclaimed creator of the Timeless Border, Yale couldn't feel any repent for that so-called sin.
"Well, if I hadn't committed that sin, your universe wouldn't exist, so you should be thankful for it."
Yale couldn't understand how could both matters be related, or to be more exact, he was trying to avoid reaching the obvious reply.
"Why that face? You should have already guessed it, right? I am the creator of your universe and the ancestor of almost all the humans there."
Even though it was possible guessing that answer from that person's previous words, it was still shocking enough hearing it directly.
"Everyone who heard this for the first time had the same face as you right now. This is too funny!"
The self-proclaimed universe creator was laughing while seeing Yale's shocked face.
"Senior, or maybe I should say ancestor... I don't want to be disrespectful, but are you a man or a woman? Although you are in front of me, I forget everything about your appearance instantaneously."
The universe creator started to laugh even harder after hearing Yale.
"Another typical question. I am a man, but you will probably forget about it quickly. Unless you reached my level of power or turned into a Timeless Sovereign like me, it will be impossible for you to remember about my appearance. You can still remember my words and my existence, but after leaving the Timeless Border, even remembering my existence would be almost impossible. If it wasn't because this shadow of myself was left here to welcome my inheritors, even speaking with me would be impossible for you. To meet someone of my position, a strong fate is needed."
Yale didn't doubt about the universe creator's because he had also had the feeling that he would forget easily about the man before him.
"Shadow?"
Yale was surprised by the fact the person in front of him was just a shadow and not a real existence.
"Each time someone visits the Timeless Border a shadow of consciousness is created and would remain here forever. The same will happen when you left. Well, this is a bit incorrect because all the shadows who had been here once had been here always. There isn't a concept like time in this place. You can easily meet with shadows at different times, and even some may have met the shadow you will leave later. The Timeless Border is a paradox itself, a place that shouldn't exist, so it will be difficult to retain some memories of this place after leaving. Only Timeless Sovereigns can remember everything and enter the Timeless Border at will."
Yale confirmed in his mind that the shadow of the universe creator must have felt too lonely to speak too much without waiting for a reply.
"Ancestor isn't the only Timeless Sovereign?"
Yale finally decided to call the world creator as ancestor because if almost all humanity were his descendants, it would be far too difficult that Yale himself wasn't.
"I am not the only one, and I would prefer if you don't call me ancestor. I had too many descendants, and even my true descendants with soul empowerment like you are still too numerous to consider you as part of my family. I told the same to your father when he came here before. There are too many generations between us."
Yale had already guessed that the strange powers inherited by soul were due to some special relationship with the man before him because it was too abnormal compared with normal people, but he was shocked by his father's part.
"Don't be surprised by your father visiting me. He also has a piece of my inheritance, and everyone with that is fated to come here and meet me even if it was just at the instant before dying. I need to say that your mother before transferring the piece of inheritance to you, and the self of you before losing the memory had also come here before."
Yale's eyes lightener when hearing that because there was information regarding her mother and his past.
"Your mother is quite outstanding, she was the first one after me to reach my level, and she did so when she was still pregnant of you. You have that piece of inheritance inside you from even before being born because the inheritance was already useless to her, so it moved to your unborn soul automatically."
That information was truly a bomb for Yale; he knew that his mother was strong, but not that strong.
"Don't be so shocked, as far as I know, since the day I created the universe another two had reached my level, including your mother, so it isn't that difficult compared to become a Timeless Sovereign as we are still only two. Moreover, the other Timeless Sovereign is also the third person at my level, so in comparison, your mother isn't so shocking."
Hearing the creator of the universe spoke about the most outstanding persons of the whole universe was something that very few people could experience, but Yale was more interested in his personal matters.
"If everyone left a shadow here, is it possible to meet your own past shadow? Moreover, is there any way to meet the shadows of my parents."
Yale felt that it was a great chance for him and since the concept of time didn't exist in the Timeless Border, how much he remained there shouldn't be important for the moment of returning to the real world.
"It is possible to meet with your previous shadows, but that will be relying on your luck and fate, I can't help you with that, and the same applies to the shadows of your parents. Only the main consciousness of a Timeless Sovereign can freely control that."
