527 Another Universe (1/2)

In a desolate area, the space cracked, and a person fell to the ground.

”I was going upwards, but now I fell downwards, it feels weird.”

That person was Yale who had just ascended.

At that moment, he felt a pressure generated by his ascension, and he knew that he must wait until it finished.

[Ascension effects canceled successfully.]

A notification appeared on Yale's head provoking that all the pressure dissipated, and his body adapted immediately to the surroundings.

”I bet this was planned by Alter Yale...”

Just as Yale thought, Alter Yale hid that function into the Last Wish System to erase traces of Yale's ascension in case that someone wanted to trace him down.

The first thing that Yale did after that was using his divine sense to scan his surroundings, but he was shocked to find that he could barely scan one thousand kilometers.

Before ascension, he could scan the whole universe even without the powerup he obtained from Alter Yale, and after ascension, Yale was already a seventh level immortal so he should have been stronger.

Of course, it wasn't that Yale was weaker than before. The truth was that in a universe of that level, a peak sixth level immortal would only be able to scan five hundred kilometers.

Higher universes were also far more stable, so the powers for each level were far more limited than in lower universes. However, since the restriction affected everyone, and the weaker ones were more affected than the stronger ones, those restrictions only made bigger the disparity of power between levels.

Yale tested a bit his own power and speed, but as he guessed, his destructive power and his speed were far lower than before ascension.

Previously, crushing a planet would have been easy for him, but at that moment, he couldn't even guess how big was the planet on which he was standing, so destroying it was obviously impossible.

On the thousand kilometers that he scanned there wasn't any trace of life, just pure wastelands, so he started to move randomly hoping to find someone who could give him some information of that universe.

It wasn't that Yale hadn't tried to ask the system in case that Alter Yale put some information there, but the system didn't reply, so there wasn't that kind of information, or he didn't meet the requirements to access it.

After several hours of travel, Yale was still unable to find any trace of life, and he started to wonder if he was in a planet without life, so he tried to get out the planet.

However, he found that after reaching a certain height, he couldn't scan any further nor pass through that point.

”Weird. If this was a random planet without people, there shouldn't be any restriction, which means that people are living here, it is just that I haven't met them yet.”

With that thought in his mind, Yale returned to the floor and continued his travel.

Although he was flying, he would rather stay at floors level to avoid catching the attention of others.

Yale wanted to find people, but he didn't want to be found first by them in the case they were hostile.

After all, there were people stronger than him in that universe, so he couldn't be careless.

Of course, Yale was still one of the strongest ones since he was a seventh level immortal, but there were still eighth level immortals and ninth level immortals in that universe.

After several days and a lot of thousands of kilometers that made Yale thought about the size of that planet, Yale finally found someone.

There were three people, and it seemed that there was a conflict between one of them and the other two because that man was chasing the other two.

Those two seemed a couple. The guy was just an immortal who had recently reached immortality. As for the girl, she was on the guy's arms, and she wasn't even an immortal.

However, the man chasing them was a third level immortal and was already about to catch them.

What caught Yale's attention was that none of them were flying. They were running as ordinary mortals just far quicker.

Yale saw how the man finally caught that couple. If it hadn't been because the couple started to run far before that man started to chase them, they wouldn't have run so far.

”Dan, you bastard. How is that a little shit like you dared to steal our slave before we put the slavery mark on her?”

The third level immortal spoke with disdain.

”She is my girlfriend, not your slave!”

Dan replied with anger in his voice.

”No, she failed to become an immortal before twenty, so she doesn't have any rights left. She must live the rest of her life as a slave. She is just an object; how can she be a girlfriend of someone? Would you also be the boyfriend of a table? Well, what can I expect of someone like you who barely escaped that fate by becoming an immortal two days before your twentieth birthday?”
