Chapter 449
"This is strange . "
Covered by a cloak Yale spoke with his Divine Sense to Lina, Shiba, and Eini .
"Indeed . "
Shiba replied with a serious face .
"Given how much disturbance the tribulation provoked, even disappearing so quickly it should have attracted a lot of attention, but it seems that no one noticed . I was worried when I heard that an Origin God residing in this world departed just at the same time as that happened, but given that he hasn't returned yet, it should have been a coincidence . "
Lina had been in that world before, and although she knew that was an ownerless world, it had been the seclusion place for an Origin God for a long time, and no one dared to defy him .
Thus, she alarmed everyone after discovering that the Origin God left hurried at almost the same time that their tribulations appeared and disappeared .
However, they weren't far enough from that world to an Origin God needing more than ten years to return if it was just to investigate what had happened .
After their sudden breakthrough, they reached a world and hid in Yale's Storage Space for some time while trying to get used to their new powers .
It was after leaving the Storage Space that they learned about that Origin God leaving, but he hadn't returned despite having more than enough time .
Of course, they would have never thought that the Origin God was traveling to Yale's world and that including that Origin God, twenty of them were going in the same direction .
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo one could have imagined that the famous Origin God protecting the ownerless world was a traitor that had sided with their enemies .
If it hadn't been for Alter Yale's distraction, the travel of Yale's group would have turned into running for their lives .
Fleeing from one Origin God was difficult but not impossible given that Lina's father had given her some life-preserving methods, and fleeing for several years would have been possible, but once the other Origin Gods gathered, their chances of surviving would have disappeared .
However, none of them was conscious of the great calamity they had just avoided .
If it weren't by how much importance their enemies gave to the matter, they wouldn't have used twenty of their hidden forced in Yale's universe .
After all, once their actions in killing young geniuses were noticed, it would be easy to guess that they were all traitors .
It hadn't been easy for their enemies to make Origin Gods from Yale's universe to switch sides, so they weren't willing to lose them unless the situation was of utmost importance, but what Yale did was something they couldn't ignore . Even more important it was because Alter Yale didn't have his name sealed; if it hadn't been because they didn't have any other Origin Gods without a proper mission in Yale's universe, they would have sent more .
Of course, even if someone looked for them, Yale's group always felt that they would be interrogated about how they survived to the tribulation and why it disappeared so early, they never thought that Origin God would want to kill them by orders from their enemies .
Usually, even the chances that others knew about them being the ones facing the tribulations would be low, so the fact that someone from another universe could notice it and order some Origin Gods to deal with them was something that they couldn't imagine .
Moreover, the fact that the first world they stopped after that was where one of those Origin God traitors lived was even more difficult to believe, it was really having terrible luck .
"Big brother, how is that modification of the Origin Path you were doing?"
Given the relationship between Lina and Yale, and that they traveled together for over a thousand years, Eini already considered Yale as her own big brother and Yale also treated her like a little sister .
Eini had been especially happy after the breakthrough because she could finally marry Shiba, but she still needed to wait until meeting with her father or her father would be angry if she married without telling him .
Lina had also stopped meddling into their relationship because they already met the conditions to being together even if an accident were to happen, but even Eini didn't dare to have such an accident with her sister present, and despite her personality, she still wanted to be married before that to make her father happy .
"Is going well . With my current modification, although I can't beat a World God yet, I wouldn't lose easily either despite still being an Essence God . However, I feel that this modification is still too basic, and I should be able to improve it more if I spend more time on it . "
Yale would lie if he said that he didn't have the urge of making a breakthrough, but he knew that rushing wasn't the wisest option .
Since Yale obtained the ownership of a universe, he found that his comprehension about the Origin Path and how to modify it deepened a lot .
At that moment, the requirements for a breakthrough with the improved path also required all the Essences created by the Battle God and the pure energy obtained from the lower universe .
However, the fact that the pure energy was a requirement meant that others couldn't practice it, and it would be detrimental to Wyba and Aiwai who were forced to follow the same Path as him .
At least he wanted to create a simpler version like the fake Origin Path to them .
Of course, Yale also offered to share it with Lina, Shiba, and Eini, but for the moment they weren't too interested .
After all, Yale had his path duplicated, and even if he failed once, he wouldn't have big problems, but the others would be in problems if the Path that Yale was creating were a failure .
Yale didn't mind too much about their reply because they couldn't practice it unless he made a version that didn't need the pure energy .
To merge all the Essences properly including those of the Battle God, the pure energy was needed . If it hadn't been for the difficulty of fusing them all, Yale was sure that the Battle God wouldn't have discarded Time, Space, Life, and Death in his path .
Although Yale was still unable to use the pure energy consciously, he felt that the pure energy would aid him automatically when he tried to break through .
Moreover, he had the sensation that his breakthrough would be far faster than usual .
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaving a world ready to improve was something that already fastened the process a lot, but Yale felt that with the pure energy the breakthrough would be almost instantaneous as long he already has a world ready to improve .
The Storage Space and Lina's world already reached that state and was the main reason for them having stopped in that world for so long despite the danger of being discovered .
Yale didn't know about Shiba and Eini, but since they were far younger than Yale and Lina, it was alright if they didn't make preparations for a breakthrough yet .
Both of them had lived less than forty thousand years, so it was already considered almost impossible that they were Essence Gods as they were still far from a hundred thousand .
Usually, it was considered that becoming a World God under ten million years was also almost impossible and not even Yale and Lina had lived that much when counting all their lives in the Life and Death Trials .
Of course, things like that pure energy weren't in the calculation made to decide what was almost impossible, what was a talent, and what was ordinary .
"Eini, don't bother your big brother with those questions . He will tell us about it, once he finished . This kind of things shouldn't be rushed . Let's return, it doesn't seem that we can obtain any reliable info here, and we don't have anything else holding us back . "
Lina knew that Yale was blocked on how to improve it more and didn't want that he felt any pressure as that would only lead to being reckless .
Waiting for Yale to complete the improvement of the path was completely useless as it was undetermined how many years he would need . They had waited while he was progressing, but after facing a bottleneck, it was better to not force it and continue their trip .
If improving a Path were easy, more people would have done it . And even making simplified version wasn't easy as the Battle God never showed any simplified version of his Path .
Of course, no one knew if he didn't have one or just didn't want to pass it to others .
The next day, all of them left that world as they didn't want to spend additional time in the same place without reason .
Although they already discarded that someone might look for them, they were still in a hurry to find the Battle God .
Since they departed, they didn't know that several years later, the token of that Origin God left in that world as proof that he was living broke at the same time that it happened to other nineteen tokens of Origin Gods .
Origin Gods were far faster than Yale's group, so they didn't need a thousand years to find Alter Yale, but they never expected that they would have been powerless against him and would lose so tragically .
Fortunately for them, Alter Yale had been unable to erase their existences due to their high level .
