Chapter 595
Alrein was surprised that the doomed universe where he was born had been the first one created by the Gods .
By the time Alrein was born, things like immortals and Gods were already things in the domain of fantasy on his world; there wasn't any trace of them at all .
Of course, countless years passed from the time the universe started to decay until Alrein's era, so it wasn't strange that there weren't proofs of such strong living beings living there in the past .
Moreover, Alrein's planet had always been one mainly habited for mortals even before the decay, so the number of immortals that appeared there in the past wasn't high at all, and they left the planet quite quickly since that planet wasn't the best for their practice .
However, it was also due to being a planet without almost traces of immortals that the decay affected it less and managed to become the last planet .
"You were a singularity . Even if you managed to travel back to the past, the universe itself should have killed you before you reached your destination, but it was only capable of hindering your time travel . You failed to go physically, but your consciousness reached the past safely . You even created a Timeless Border despite being a mere mortal . Thus, I used God's Punishment on you . Rules about controlling the time appeared in the time after the Gods Calamity and that moment, and I didn't want others to interfere . Moreover, those who left the Council of Gods after the Gods Calamity still held power to use God's Punishment, and their actions are too unpredictable even now . They might have just used God's Punishment to kill you . "
Kroh felt that Alrein was really suitable for the title of Miracle God because Alrein was someone who managed to shock Kroh and being able to shock Kroh wasn't something easy to do . The last time Kroh felt such a great shock was when he failed to resurrect dead True Gods, but that was a negative shock while the one of Alrein was positive .
"It wasn't like if I was expecting too much more . With memories from the future, it was probable that the universe would kill you a bit later anyway . If that happened, the curse I gave to you would have turned that situation into eternal torture for you . I was planning to break it and let you die if you gave up . However, I wanted to see if you would be able to do another miracle and save that universe . "
That was all due to Kroh's selfish motives, but it aligned with Alrein's intentions, so Alrein wasn't angry with Kroh at all . After all, although Alrein had his share of suffering, he owed that curse a lot .
"However, you really surpassed my expectations . Despite being in a universe where reaching immortality was impossible and even surpassing the natural mortal limits was forbidden, you created a method, you discovered a loophole and exploited it . Moreover, the universe didn't harm those who surpassed the limits using your method, which was a great surprise . That time I really felt that if you really succeeded, maybe one day you would obtain something like Miracle Divinity and then maybe a chance to resurrect my friends would appear . I am unable to do it, but I was also unable to save a single person from the decayed universes . Just with the True Time Divinity, they can't be saved, but maybe there is still a method . "
The existence of a Miracle Divinity was just theoretical when Kroh thought that . It was a great surprise when it really happened .
"When I thought that, I made a decision, and I threw that soul fragment serving as the memento of my friends to your universe using the connection created with me thanks to the Timeless Border . I was hoping that whoever received it would become your helper . "
Anyone who received that soul fragment would become a Demigod, and a Demigod was someone with enough talent to provoke huge changes in fate in a universe like that . Moreover, a Demigod that obtained the power of that soul fragment with the power of the three strongest True Gods before the Gods Calamity wouldn't just be a weak Demigod .
Alrein knew that, and he knew exactly who that Demigod was . There had indeed been someone with an unfathomable talent that helped him a lot despite the short time they interacted .

"I see that you have someone in mind . That fragment mixed with an unborn soul, which was born in the form of a little girl . However, that girl had the Celestial Knowledge unlocked from birth . Even you just unlocked it after a lot of effort, so I was sure that she would catch your attention . "
Yale frowned when he heard that because he had heard that his mother was the first to be born with Celestial Knowledge, but she was already born in Alrein's Universe . Thus, the time didn't fit with Kroh's explanation .
"She indeed did it . She even became a great help to you when you started creating a new universe . Sadly, she died young because the universe couldn't allow someone like her to live . You and those trained with your method were an exception, but someone born as a Demigod wasn't inside that exception just because the fact that was a Demigod, it was already lucky that she didn't die before . "
Alrein couldn't remain silent after hearing that .
"So, that is what happened . She knew that she would die because the universe wanted her dead, so she prepared everything in advance . . . "
Alrein always wondered how that little girl predicted that she would die with so much precision without any indicator of it .
"That was really smart from her . She split her consciousness and her soul, sealing them in your newly created universe, and leaving just a tiny bit left on her body, which also fastened the speed that the universe killed her due to being weakened, but that also saved her soul . Anyway, she did it when her time was almost over, her timing was perfect . "
Even Kroh praised her actions at that time .

"The power was split between the part of consciousness and the part soul, so neither of them classified as a Demigod anymore, but both were still far stronger than any mortal . She used the power on her consciousness to help her brother to surpass the mortal limits with your training methods despite him being older than he should be to do it . "
Yale was really lost in that conversation because he didn't know too much about that doomed universe .
"Yes, that surprised me a lot . She lost all her memories for doing that, but later, she was able to make her split soul, without consciousness or memories, reincarnate as her brother's daughter and live a rather happy life in the new universe . "
A thought appeared on Yale's mind at that moment .
"As you are thinking right now . That girl's reincarnation is your mother . If it wasn't by the remnants of Demigod power on her, it would be impossible that her descendants were born with Celestial Knowledge given her level of power . "
Kroh obviously knew from the start . That soul fragment also has a part of him, so even after being diluted, Kroh could still detect those with some of its power .
Yale always found strange that his family had such a special trait because after becoming stronger, he didn't saw others with the same abilities even in higher universes . Still, if his mother's soul once obtained part of the power of the three strongest True Gods, it wasn't that difficult to believe that even when she lost the qualifications as a Demigod, her soul was still strong enough to make Yale inherit it .

Moreover, Yale knew that it took a great effort to make Ange inherit Celestial Knowledge properly, so it was a proof that the inherited power wasn't something without limit related to his family but that had some external origin .
Usually, only children of True Gods would have a hundred percent chance of inheriting Celestial Knowledge, with Great Gods having about a fifty percent chance . It was still possible for Gods, but the chances were usually rounded to zero, although they weren't zero .
Yale's mother obtained inherited power from the Battle God, who previously obtained the power she split with her consciousness, and the power remaining on her own soul, so her resulting power and talent were immense despite not reaching Demigod anymore .
Yale inherited everything directly from her, so it wasn't surprising that he also obtained Celestial Knowledge . The problem was that the curse he received before being born became a huge hindrance to his development .
Ange wouldn't have obtained anything if it hadn't been because Lina was also very talented, and Yale became a Timeless Sovereign, which also increased the chances a lot .
In fact, the talent of Yale was far greater than Lina's, but most of that talent would only be effective when starting to master divinities . The closer to True God, the greater the effect .
Thus, no one noticed that Yale and his mother had this kind of monstrous talent sleeping inside, not even themselves . Of course, Ange also had it, but thanks to Lina, her superficial talent was already monstrous enough, so being it even more incredible wouldn't surprise anyone .
Moreover, Kroh knew that when Yale's true name served as a shelter to Astel's erased existence, the relationship between Astel's existence and that inherited power made Yale qualified to become a Timeless Sovereign .
