Chapter 368

Yale was quite skeptical when he heard his grandfather saying that he would never lose in a battle of pure ability in which strength didn't matter .

"Eh, why do you doubt about my battle prowess? I turned famous due to it, and even the creator of this universe acknowledges my prowess in battle . "

The lack of trust of Yale hurt the Battle God, but he decided to calm down and continued to explain .

"Do you know that I once battled against the creator of your universe in a battle of pure ability and it ended in a tie because neither of us was able to win after a whole year? I admit that if he uses his power, I would have a difficult time, but that is because of our difference in level . Moreover, that battle was soon after the creation of the universe, so I was weaker than my current self, and I bet that in your time in the real world, I am even better . "

That explanation wasn't enough to make Yale trust it blindly, but he was somewhat interested in how he managed to be so skillful . After all, in Yale's knowledge, even suppressing stats, the understanding about the Laws and Essences turned into the major factor in a battle, so it wasn't easy to battle across ranks unless one had a cheat like the Condensed Essences .

"If you are so good, why aren't you at the same level as the universe creator when even my mother managed to reach it?"

Yale's words were like a sharp blade hitting his grandfather's pride .

"That is my greatest shame, but it isn't due to a lack of talent, but because the path I followed differed . Do you know how are established the Immortal Levels in the universe?"

Yale had never heard of any Immortal Level, but he could guess about what his grandfather was speaking .

"I only heard about Law Master, Law God, and Essence God, but I know that there are more . "

In fact, Yale's knowledge about Essence Gods came mainly from the system reward of knowledge about the Condensed Essences, and he didn't remember having met any in the past .

"Right, Law Master is the weakest of the Immortal Levels . Although in the worlds the mortals established names for rankings in lower levels of strength, the creator of the universe, or in other words, the creator of the Origin Path, felt that doing that was useless, so he just used a numeric system from zero to hundred when hundred indicates that one had become a Law Master . "

Yale instantly remembered how the Last Wish System always displayed an Origin Level instead of the name of the ranks and the stars in the Stats Menu, and it fitted perfectly with the explanation of his grandfather .

"You can find different kinds of names and rankings in different worlds of the universe, but after Law Master is the same in all the universe . Law Masters focus on fusing with the Laws that they have understood . Law Gods start to train into the Essences and try to fuse with them . You already know until that point, right?"

Yale nodded his head as that was indeed information that he already knew about Law Masters and Law Gods . He didn't know about the different naming of lower ranks, but that didn't matter .

"Very well . You should know that becoming an Essence God is quite easy and we only consider someone adult after reaching that level . Someone like you who isn't even a Law Master is the same for us as a five-year-old kid for mortals . "

Yale knew that the other party was reading his mind, but he was still inwardly cursing his grandfather for saying that becoming an Essence God was easy . He never managed to reach that level in his past life, and the strongest experts he met were Revgen and the birdman ancestor who were still Law Gods . It was quite humiliating that someone called those at their level kids .

Yale hated the birdman ancestor, but he didn't doubt that he was strong, and it was difficult to consider him a kid, no matter how Yale tried .

In reply to Yale's thoughts, Yale's grandfather laughed .

"Maybe this is too shocking for you, but this is how it works for the top experts of the universe . Usually, even marriage is forbidden before becoming an Essence God because before that the soul empowerment would lose strength which is like offending all your ancestors . By the way, having children without marriage still counts, so you committed a great crime that time, but given your desperation to save your soul and that no one else helped you, I won't blame you by that . However, I hope that you fix that mess someday . "

Yale was the only descendant of the Battle God with full soul empowerment because Ange who should have been the next only received the part from Yale's father and even that part wasn't complete . In the standards of soul empowerment, that was a complete failure .

"I am sorry about that, but I don't even remember that time . . . "

Yale truly felt shame for that, but for his current him, those were things he was still unable to think he did .

"That is normal because you sealed your memories . Moreover, you did it twice, and the first time you even sealed the soul empowerment inherited from my daughter, so even if you had been an Essence God, it would have been impossible to inherit . "

Yale's grandfather had taken a look to Yale's past and already knew more about Yale than Yale himself, but since Yale's grandfather also knew the reasons for it, he wasn't planning to pursue the matter more, not he had any grudge against Yale .

"Twice?"

Yale knew that he had sealed them once, but he didn't know anything about the other time nor about the soul empowerment of his mother . Yale always thought that the Divine Eyes was already all he obtained from the soul empowerment, and it was already a lot .

"Yes, twice . I can't tell you more about that . You must discover that by yourself . "

Yale already guessed that it would be impossible to obtain the information so easily, and if he had sealed it, it should have been a proper reason .

"Continuing with the topic I was explaining, Essence God is considered quite a standard level for us, and it is also a level that traps a lot of experts because the difficulty to advance is far higher than the one needed to become an Essence God . "

Yale was unable to imagine the level of difficulty after hearing those words because he knew how difficult it was to obtain understanding from the Essences . Even the Condensed Essences fused with him would only make him a fake Essence God after becoming a Law God, he still needed to understand them properly, and it was still difficult .

Moreover, it was almost impossible having fused perfect Condensed Essences, so usually, the difficulty was even higher for others .

"The next level is called World God, and to reach it one needs to create a perfect world with all the elemental Essences plus the Essences for Time, Space, Life and Death . Mastering all those Essences is already difficult, but that isn't a guarantee of creating a perfect world with them . Of course, even a Law Master can create an imperfect world knowing the correct Laws, and you will never find a perfect world of a World God outside, because it is a source of strength and a weakness at the same time, so those worlds always remain inside their creators . "

Yale's world was the same, although Yale's father created it, it wasn't the world he had used to become a World God .

"What about the Sword Essence and other similar ones?"

Yale found strange that those had been omitted from the need to make a breakthrough to the next level after Essence God .

"They aren't taken into account . Those Essences are treated as just a method to power up the body and the battle prowess, but usually, those who practice them too much are looked down by others because they aren't necessary to reach the next levels . Personally, I think that it is a great mistake . "

Yale noticed that his grandfather truly disliked how the Sword Essence and similar ones were usually disregarded and guesses that his grandfather should be someone who practiced them .

"Is there any way to train in the Sword Essence further?"

By how his grandfather spoke, it seemed that Essence God was the limit for the sword and other weapons, but Yale felt that his grandfather would give him a good reply .

"There is, but doing it is against the Origin Path, and if you did that, you would never become a World God . That is what I did and the reason I have been trapped on the same level for so much . "

Yale started to understand his grandfather a bit better after that, but before he managed to say something, he was left speechless .

"I designed a new method to breakthrough also using the battle-focused Essences but excluding Time, Space, Life and Death . With that method, I reached a new level unknown until that moment that the rest called Battle God later . Although this level is just comparable to a World God in terms of advance, it is enough to defeat Origin Gods who are a level stronger than World Gods . Except those who reached the level of the universe creator, no one else can beat me . "
