Chapter 367
Yale was happy after knowing that the possibility existed, but at the same time, he understood that it would be difficult to succeed .
"Thank you . I will definitely find the answer to my question and save everyone after leaving this place . "
The universe creator smiled .
"This kind of blind determination is quite nostalgic . "
Yale didn't understand why the Timeless Sovereign in front of him said that, but he wasn't planning to try discovering the thoughts of the other party because if it was something Yale needed to know, Yale was sure that the universe creator would have mentioned it more explicitly .
"Now you shall go . Find what you want to find or disappear forever lost among the shadows . "
The man waved his hand indicating that Yale should leave .
"My last advice . Not all the shadows left here have good intention, and not everything in front of you is real . One failure can be enough to be your doom . "
Yale heard those words before the shadow of the universe creator in front of him vanished .
"Thank you . "
After giving thanks to the already disappeared shadow of the Timeless Sovereign, Yale started to move across the endless darkness .
Although it was possible to walk, there wasn't any floor, so the way to move was just depending on how Yale imagined it .
"This space is quite strange . It doesn't seem to have any sense . "
Yale didn't have absolutely any sense of direction inside the darkness and strictly speaking he didn't even have any weight, and there wasn't any gravity, so he didn't even know if he was going upwards or downwards .
While moving, sometimes Yale had visions of some unknown places, but those visions weren't from the point of view of someone else, but from an external point of view .
"Come here . . . "
At some moment, Yale heard a voice calling him, and he unconsciously followed it . In a place when it was impossible to know to where one was moving a voice pointing a path was like a flame attracting a moth .
After following that voice that was resonating in his mind constantly, Yale finally saw the shadow of a skinny man with white hair .
"You are here . . . "
Yale doesn't want to approach more that person, but he noticed that he couldn't avoid moving towards that skinny man .
"You can learn from the past . . . and the future . . . You can discover . . . whatever you want . . . "
Yale felt that he should believe that man, but he was indeed curious about what he was feeling, and his body was obeying that curiosity instead of his reason .
"I will help you . . . to know what you want to know . . . "
A screen appeared in front of that skinny man, and it was a panoramic view of the area where the Dragon Race lived, but everything was still intact showing that it was something from Yale's past .
"Come . . . come . . . "
Those words were making Yale approach that screen despite his mind shouting that he shouldn't, but his body wasn't obeying and continued to approach that screen .
The screen zoomed to the Dragon Race where Yale saw his battle against the opposing army, including the death of Swordmad and the moment when Aiwai and Wyba disappeared .
At that moment, despite the pain of seeing those scenes again, Yale was immersed wanting to see what happened after that because it was the point where he stopped being conscious .
"Disappear!"
With that shout, the screen broke, and the skinny man let out a sharp cry before disappearing .
"A mere broken shadow trying to eat my grandson's consciousness . That broken shadow really had guts . "
The owner of that voice appeared in front of Yale . It was a man with disordered black hair and dark eyes and looked very similar to Yale himself except for the hair color .
"Yale, are you alright? Is good to see you again! It was quite a shock when I discovered that the shadow who helped me the first time that I came here was that of my future grandson . I only discovered it after turning into a shadow, but I never expected to find your true self before turning into a shadow, this space is really crazy . "
Yale couldn't believe what he was hearing, but if the other party wasn't lying, the person in front of him was his grandfather .
"I never meet my grandfather before, how can I trust you? What happened with that skinny man from before?"
Yale had the feeling that he had been in a real danger moments before and that his self-proclaimed grandfather saved him, but he decided to not trust him blindly .
"My current self isn't the shadow from my first time here, but at that time, your mother was still a child, so I only know you because I saw it through this space . Moreover, given my power, it would have been bad if we met in the real world or your fate would have been messed up . Thus, I can't confirm our relationship here where we are only consciousness, and not even our souls are present . "
Yale didn't know about the power of the other party, but at least there wasn't any instantly effect to forget like with the universe creator, so Yale guessed that he was weaker .
"Wait until I finish to explain before considering me weak!"
Yale was shocked that the other party knew what was thinking but decided to wait before asking questions .
"Right, you should wait until I finish . "
After nodding his head like if he knew that Yale had decided to be patient, the man continued .
"That man was broken shadow . A broken shadow is the shadow of someone who had the consciousness erased while being in the process of entering here . In consequence, broken shadows are created, and they tend to want to destroy consciousness of those who came here to avoid them from returning to the real world . If I haven't stopped him, although your shadow would still be a complete one, you would have never returned to the real world . "
Yale felt that the other party was right because he felt that the skinny man was truly dangerous, but at that moment, his body didn't obey him and continued to approach the skinny man .
"Given that you received a piece of the inheritance from . . . right I shouldn't tell you his name . Let me start again . Given that you received a piece of the inheritance from the creator of the Timeless Border, you should have met him just after entering, but it seemed that he still didn't explain some important points to you . . . Well, maybe he had something more important to say, I have never been able to know what that person was thinking . "
From the words of the man, Yale guessed that there was some relationship between the universe creator and the man in front of him .
"Relationship with that guy? Of course, I came with him to his universe after he created it and we are good friends, but you shall stop thinking about such stuff because it is distracting me . "
At that moment, Yale was sure that the other party could read his mind .
"Returning to the point . In the Timeless Border, we are all just consciousness, there aren't bodies or souls, and it doesn't matter what strength you have in the real world . Here the will is the only power . Well, excluding the Timeless Sovereigns who are unbeatable here . "
Yale had already noticed that he couldn't use any of his strength in that place, but the skinny man managed to control him and the man in front of kill, stopped the skinny man without problems .
"If your will is strong enough, you will have more power, but at the same time, it will be difficult to resist thing that you subconsciously want, and that is how the other party controlled you . If you want to travel across the Timeless Border safely, you need to toughen your resolution and dispel anything that could distract you . Right now, it is easy to read your mind like an open book and control you won't be difficult at all as long someone tries . "
Although Yale felt a bit hurt by those words, he knew that they were true . Yale didn't know how much time passed moving alone in the darkness because time really didn't exist, but for his mind, it was like an eternity, so he couldn't avoid approaching to where someone else was, and his curiosity about that screen weakened his mind even more .
"It is good as long you understand . "
After nodding satisfied, Yale's grandfather decided to speak again .
"Now, it seems that I should introduce myself a bit since you don't know about me at all . As I said before, I am your grandfather, more exactly the father of your mother . Moreover, I only have one daughter, and she only has you, so you are my only grandson . I am nicknamed Battle God due to my incredible battle prowess, as long as it is a battle in which power doesn't matter being a battle of pure ability, I will never lose . "
