Chapter 176: Past

"Do you really believe in fate?" I asked Lucia.

She fell silent for a moment and then she said. "This world is really mysterious. Even though we are called GODS. There is another world out there. Till now, nobody was able to step into that world."

She paused for a moment. "There are many mysterious powers in this world. And one of the mysterious power is fate or destiny. Not many people in this world can grasp the profundity of that Power."

"When I said that, it was my fate that I met you at this place. I was telling the truth. This world is nothing without fate. Maybe the unexplored world contains many answers. That was the reason you decided to venture into that world."

My brows were raised when I heard her words. So that was the reason. In my dreams, I saw that my previous self knew something about that world. But suddenly, I thought of that mysterious man. He came from another world.

A sigh escaped my lips, while my gaze was still fixed on the waterfall before me.

"Would you tell me one thing?" I asked her.

"What do you want to ask?" She replied. I could feel her hand loosen around my waist.

I turned around to look at her. "Why did you meet Alexandra?" 

Her brows were raised, her eyes were fixed on me, while her lips curled into a smile.

"What do you think?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. That is the reason I asked you."

Her eyes were fixed on me for a while. "Do you think that you would be able to pass the tribulations alone? Even though you are his reincarnation. You still need many people in this world that will help in the journey of your life."

She sighed, "You don't know, but in your last life, you didn't have anyone apart from a few of us. Even though you were strong. There are many things in this world which can't be accomplished alone. That is the reason I met that girl."

Girl? My brows were raised when I heard that word. But then I remembered, for Lucia, Alexandra is still a little girl. She is living in this world for quite a long time.

"You should have informed me, right?" I asked her.

She shook her head and said, "I knew that she would tell you. That is the reason I didn't say anything to you."

My eyes were fixed on her for a while, many complex emotions surged in my heart. I don't how what should I feel.

I sighed and turned around to look at the waterfall again. I then glanced down to see the chasm. I could only see the darkness.

"As I told you before, this place is very mysterious. We don't even know about the history of this place. If you are a GOD, you could feel the mysteriousness of this place. Even though you were the strongest person in this world. But whenever you faced any difficulty, you came here to your heart, and apart from that, you could also feel that this place is filled with the profundity of every Power."

"Do you know about the divination?" Lucia asked me.

My brows were raised, and I turned around to look at her again.

"What about Divinity?" I asked her. This question is bugging me for quite some time. When Alexandra said to me that she has met the will of my past self. I was quite surprised. What was the divination all about?

She looked at me for a while and then said, "This is the place where he performed the divination."

"And?" I asked her. What is the stopping in between? 

She shook her head and took a deep breath and walked forward and stood beside me. Her eyes started at the waterfall.

"This place is really mysterious. It could increase the compression of your Powers. In your last life, you felt that before going to that world, you should check about your future. That is the reason you performed the divination in this place. This place helped you in performing the divination."

My brows furrowed when I heard her words. I couldn't understand anything. What is she trying to say? I know that this place is mysterious. This place existed before the emergence of the GODS. 

I signed and said, "Would you tell me clearly?"

She shook her head. "You know? Divination is taboo in our world. It is said to be harmful to the user. You knew that it would harm you, but you still divined. Do you know the reason? It was because you felt a premonition that you wouldn't survive. That was the reason you're trying to pry into the future."

She took a deep breath and said, "When you just used that Power, you face immense backlash. I was present when you use the power of divination. You faced immense backlash and were injured. 

"You saw that you are going to die in the future. Even though you knew the result, you didn't change the future. But that day, you again used the divination and saw your future again. The Power of using the divination was so immense that it extracted the Power of many beings in this world."

"You fell into a trance and took a whole day when you came back to your senses,"

She paused and looked at me. "You were quite weakened, but I could still remember the smile on your face."

I was confused. I understand that my past self was quite miserable when he used that Power. He suffered immense backlash in using the Power of Divinity. 

"He told me about the future. He told me that he is going to reincarnate in the future. He told me that there would be many people in this world who would assist you in the journey to become GOD. He told me that you would undergo at the path of Evolution. That was the reason you set up many wills in this world."

Many wills. There are other wills also?

As if she understood my thoughts, "Yes, there are other wills. It is for those who would accompany you in your life. Just like me, there are many women in your life. You can think that it was your luck you met these people. But it is the power of fate that guided you to meet these people."

She sighed and caressed my cheeks. "Do you know why can't I help you?"

I shook my head. "I don't know."

She nodded and said, "All the smaller world is covered by the mystery. After we ascend, we cannot go back to that world again. There is a will of this world that prevents us from disturbing the balance of the world."

She took a deep breath and said, "But we can somewhat interfere in the life of that world. But you were special. You always had the power to go back to that world."

She shook her head and looked at me. "Anyway, the seal of your world is tweaking, even though I am trying my best to delay the time. But eventually, other gods will know about that world. Even though they can't enter your world, you have to be careful. They could affect your life. You would have known that many aliens have started attacking your world, right? This is the effect of the weakening of the seal."

"You have to become powerful, powerful enough to resist them. When you are powerful enough, you could easily deal with them. Don't think too much. There would be many people in your life. They would help you on your journey. You are lucky that you have met these people. Sometimes even I am jealous that I couldn't spend some time with you. But eventually, you would ascend to this world and at that time I would be able to protect you."

"No one would be able to harm you when you enter this world. I am always with you. Don't worry and enjoy your life. You don't have to think about the betrayal and all. I have already taken care of all the obstacles in your life."

She kissed me on my lips and said, "Go back and enjoy your life, but soon ascend to this world. That world is not safe anymore. Since you are following the path of evolution. You would be powerful than many, and since you have inherited his powers, no one could match you in that world. Just try to gain more control of your powers so that it would be easy for you to understand the profoundness that is required for the ascension"

My heart skipped a beat when I heard her words. What is she saying? It is possible that she has arranged many things for me. But why is she doing this? But before I could ask anything.Everything turned dark and her voice reached my ears.

"We will meet again,"
