"What is happening? Why is so much energy flowing towards the universe?"

On Alrein's universe, someone spoke, but almost everyone was surprised and started to speak, so it was difficult to say who said what.

After all, the situation was far from normal.

They decided to give all the energy to Yale, but when they were already thinking how much time would be needed to reach the same point, a stream of energy even stronger than the one they sent was filling the universe.

It wasn't until Alrein spoke that everyone cooled down.

"It seems that Yale is already repaying us with a huge interest. The universe is ready to be upgraded; the ascension will begin soon."

Alrein didn't know how Yale repaid such a huge quantity of energy so soon after borrowing it, but he was sure that Yale was the one who did it.

What Alrein didn't understand was the reason for Yale having so much energy after having been in need to borrow it just before, but he didn't really care for the reason.

"I knew that helping my husband was the right decision."

Lina felt a little guilty when Yale needed to borrow the energy despite the fact that she didn't doubt on helping him, but she was prideful after Yale returned it with interests no long after that.

"Don't worry mother, I doubt that someone thought that father would borrow that energy without paying it back."

Ange had full faith in Yale, so she never thought that Yale would steal that energy and never return it.

Some people lowered their heads in shame because although they agreed to gift that energy to Yale due to the personal debt that they had with him, they never expected that he would return it.

"Stop the chattering and go to meditate. The universe ascension started. While this happens, we must use the chance to increase our power. After this, without creating a Path, it will be difficult to advance, so we can't waste this chance."

It was a sure thing that Alrein would directly become a ninth level immortal once the universe finished the upgrade and ascended, but the rest wouldn't be benefited from it unless they meditated trying to grasp the chance.

"Alrein, I think that you need to explain it for those that didn't experience the previous upgrade."

Astel knew very well everything regarding the topic, but Lina, Ange, and others that were born after the previous upgrade didn't know about it.

"Right. Listen. The universe will suffer a lot of changes while upgrading, which will also make that reaching immortality will be easier, but for us, this means that our limit is far higher than before and without experience reaching those levels will be very difficult."

Of course, even if the universe was upgraded, reaching immortality wouldn't be as easy as on the universe Yale was because the methods to reach immortality were different, so the impact wouldn't be incredibly huge unless a new Path that didn't need Laws, Essences, nor any related to it was created, but that would also be against the rules set by Alrein in the universe, so it would never be as easy as on the other universe where it was easy to reach immortality even without training.

"You should be thinking about why it is that important reaching higher levels quickly, and the same happened the previous time. No one took it too seriously and decided to train slowly afterward, so I was the only one who became a sixth level immortal."

Alrein stopped for a moment before continuing.

"That was what led us to that big war. We upgraded the universe, but our overall power was too weak compared to others, which turned us into the target of another universe. Of course, the energy of that upgrade was also weaker than now, so I doubt it worked properly with too many people, but this time we can't make the same mistake."

The other time only Astel tried to use the chance to upgrade, but he merely reached fifth level immortal, so it was really impossible to make a huge overall improvement.

However, on that occasion, Yale had returned the energy with a lot of interest, which was more than enough for the ascension, which would also allow more people to benefit from it.

"We don't know if someone will target us after the ascension. There is a period that our universe will be cut off from any other universe after finishing the ascension, but don't expect to become incredibly powerful just training normally on that period. Thus, we need to use this chance. The more power you can pick, the better."

Alrein was very serious about that matter after having suffered about it before.

He knew that having an army of ninth level immortals wasn't possible, but if at least everyone who helped the universe to upgrade reached eighth level immortal, the strength of the universe would at least be decent.

No one replied to those words, they just sat and started to meditate.

From that moment, all the connection of the strongest ones of the universe with the rest of the universe was cut off.

However, even those weaker than them could sense that changes were happening in the universe, so no one tried to start anything big even though the strongest ones seemed to be missing.

Several months passed on the outside world after Yale used God's Punishment.

Despite the huge disparity of the flow of time, Yale was still in slumber after using so much power.

However, that wasn't what everyone thought.

They just considered that Great God Yale went back to a higher universe after finishing to impart the punishment.

Of course, Yale wasn't a real Great God since he only had a temporary boost to reach that level, and he already used it, so it wasn't like they imagined.

Moreover, Yale couldn't use it again, so he wasn't unbeatable in that universe, but sometimes the first impression was more important than reality.

Those who saw Yale as a Great God believed that Great God Yale was a real Great God from the Council of Gods, and they wouldn't believe the opposite even if someone told them the truth.

After all, it was easier to believe that a Great God was hiding his strength and thus seeming weaker than he was than thinking that an eighth level immortal had a secret way to turn into a Great God instantaneously.

Thus even after the news that Master Liye was the same person as Great God Yale spread from Master Liye's fans, everyone just thought that Great God Yale was hiding his identity while traveling and that when he suddenly disappeared, it was just that he returned to a higher universe.

There were a few that knew the truth, but that was a truth that no one would believe anyway, so they let the mistake about Yale's identity to continue spreading.

Yale's Kingdom was extremely famous after everyone realized their connection with a Great God that would really act if someone threatened them.

Thus, all the countries rushed to send gifts and envoys to ensure that Yale's Kingdom knew that they were on their side.

Even the standing of the Otref Kingdom grew when the rest felt that they knew about Great God Yale's identity as Master Liye from the start.

Having the father of the king as the servant of a Great God of the Council of Gods was something that gave a huge status, but it couldn't compare with having a close relationship with a Great God of the Council of Gods himself, which was far more important.

Especially if that was great God that didn't mind descending to punish others.

Moreover, Wyba once told that Tofesh, known as the Blacksmith Prince, Fert, on that universe, was her big brother's best friend, Tofesh's reputation reached the pinnacle.

No one doubted that Great God Yale would descend to punish them if Tofesh was threatened, and his grandfather was a servant of Great God Kroh, so there were chances that they would offend two Great Gods of the Council of Gods, and offending one was already a synonym to doom.

Of course, Yale would get angry if someone tried to harm Tofesh, but he wasn't a Great God that could destroy a country in an instant like others believed.

Another thing that surprised the world was that the Weapon Spirit Tribe appeared on Yale's Kingdom and created a portal inside the palace that connected with their tribe.

However, Yale didn't know about anything of that since he had been in slumber for a lot of years, so many that he didn't know.

An eighth level immortal using the power of a Great God wasn't something easy to endure, and although he wasn't harmed permanently, the exhaustion of his body and soul were extreme.

At Yale's side, there was a sword, which was Lar's sword form.

She had also remained in slumber after eating those souls, but she shouldn't have needed so much time to digest them and awake.

In fact, she was already a ninth level immortal weapon after digesting all the souls, but she remained in slumber beside her master.

Both human and sword spirit remained in slumber together for a long time until a day, both woke up at the same time.
