_____________________________
After reviewing all of Grindelwald's knowledge, the contract did not cease to exist. No, Edward would not make such a rookie mistake, so the contract will not be invalid until he squeezes the first generation Dark Lord to his last value.
He knew that Grindelwald still had plenty of room to grow--even when he was imprisoned. He did not believe for a second that Grindelwald did not think about magic during his time imprisoned at Nurmengard.
More importantly, Edward wanted the memory of his battle with Dumbledore in 1945. This battle was described as legendary by the people who witnessed it, so Edward wanted to see it and experienced it.
So, he planned to activate the contract again after returning to the present.
After he was done, Edward finally took time to reflect on the brief conversation he had with Death, and all the information he received in just a few sentences.
First, if he messes up with time, he will have to suffer heavy consequences; most likely, Death will be able to break the rules of his non-intervention and deal with him.
Second, there used to be many "Gods" like Death in this world, but after suffering from something called the [Cataclysm], they were either dead or forced to revert to the basic principles that govern realities of this universe.
According to Edward's current theory, he believes that this cataclysmic event occurred about 12,000 years ago.
The reason for that was that Edward had long noticed that this Harry Potter universe is very similar to his previous universe before he transmigrated. The only difference was magic, but the culture, history, and advances in technology were the same with different people.
However, key figures like Einstein, Isaac Newton, Nikolas Tesla, Hitler, and Stalin still exist; people that have impacted the world greatly.
This fact has Edward theorized that the Harry Potter world was possibly just an alternate universe of Earth, but he does not have any proof to back that up.
Back to the point.
One of the theories he once read in his past life was the idea that 12,000 years ago, a highly advanced civilization existed on Earth, but was destroyed due to a cataclysmic event. However, remains of this civilization were discovered by the Mesopotamians, Babylonians, and Egyptians.
Then, they build a powerful civilization and wonders that some scientists in modern time still could not completely understand or explain.
Edward's theory was that similar events might have occurred in this Harry Potter World; that a powerful wizarding civilization existed 12,000 years ago and the Gods like Death even walked the Earth among them.
After going through [The Cataclysm], this civilization was destroyed and the Gods were killed; remains of it were discovered by later wizards, hence the wizards in the past were most likely way more powerful than currently.
Edward believes that magic power used to exist in the environment in the past. But as time passed, the magic power gradually decreased, hence the reason that modern wizards are so weak. This theory also explains why ley line nodes contain magic power, but the environment does not.
This theory can also explain Edward's other theory that the Harry Potter Universe was a High Magical Universe but slowly weakened over time.
Another proof of this far-fetched theory was the Pyramids located all around the world. After connecting them in a certain way, they formed a strange pattern that looked like a magical array to Edward.
After discovering this, he visited all of them during his five years voyage around the world. He discovered that they were located in the most powerful ley line magical nodes on this planet.
On top of that, there are signs of very powerful enchantments in these pyramids. Unfortunately, these enchantments were mostly destroyed due to the passage of time, so Edward could not reconstruct them with the little remaining nor guessed the reason for the Pyramid's construction.
However, now that he has the Gate of World, once he increases its ability to travel back in time, he will visit all these Pyramids again and recreate these enchantments and discover the secrets of the past.
Anyways, he only promised Death not to intervene in the events that occurred in the past, he did not promise not to travel back in time as an observer and recorder of history.
Another plan Edward made after summarizing this incident was to return the Harry Potter Universe to its former glory. And the first step in doing this will be to re-activate these ley line nodes and ensure that magic power is returned to the environment. However, he had a feeling that things would not be as simple as he imagined. Nevertheless, he had plenty of time to realize his plan.
--Scene Break--
After absorbing the essence of Grindelwald's knowledge, Edward placed his attention on Credence; to be precise, on the Obscurus inside of him and his ability to control it.
According to their previous agreement, Edward had to teach him basic magical knowledge, and in exchange, Credence had to allow Edward to study him.
So, during the next six months, Edward did countless tests and experiments on Credence; he even reviewed all his memories of when he first became an Obscurial--an experience which was very unpleasant to the latter.
According to Edward's discovery, an Obscurus is formed when a young wizard consciously or subconsciously suppressed his or her magic power inside the magic core. Then, all the negative emotions of trauma or abuse fused with the magic power creating a dark and powerful parasitic force with tremendous power.
In terms of eastern ideologies, the Obscurus is the negative side or Yin of the magic power inside a wizard. According to his research, the reason that adults cannot become Obscurial is that no matter how dark their thoughts are, they still have some level of control over it, but children do not.
Additionally, after the age of ten, the magic power of most wizards or witches turns into a very stable and hard to control state, hence the reason it becomes more difficult for children after this age to accidentally use different magical abilities based on their emotions. This probability keeps decreasing as they grow older.
Most Obscurial do not leave past the age of ten years old, but Credence was different. The reason for that was his powerful bloodline.
Edward has to admit that the Dumbledore family is full of talented individuals after analyzing his result
Credence's bloodline granted him vastly superior magical powers than ordinary children; thus his Obscurus was way more powerful than an ordinary one.
Secondly, his bloodline granted him a very powerful soul, which then granted him a very powerful mind or spirit.
What Credence did was to separate his mind into two: one was his original self, while the other is all the dark, negative or unhappy memory or trauma that he suffered at the hands of his adopted mother.
This second personality is also the source and origin of the Obscurus. Using his main personality or mind, he was able to control the second personality, the Obscurus.
As a result of this situation, he was able to freely control this dark parasitic force inside of him. Of course, Credence did not have total control as he was easily influenced by the second personality. Once his emotions got the best of him, the second personality would take control, hence the reason that he easily lost control after discovering Percival Graves' betrayal and went on a rampage around the city of New York.
After analyzing Credence, Edward had an idea on how to create the Obscurus Spell, but he still needed some much-needed data--which he will try to acquire after returning to 1992.

A few announcements, I will be posting regularly from now. So, we are back to one chapter a day. Sorry about the irregular posting schedule, I was burned out and needed a little break, adding to the things happening in my real life, it was just too much.
Secondly, I will be writing another fanfiction, this time about Naruto. The Mc of this fic will be truly evil like Fan Yuan from Reverent Insanity. The first chapter will be drop tomorrow, probably, however, the weekly release for that fic will be irregular since I'm already writing two other novels.
Finally, starting next month, my patre.o.n will be charged in front. So, to the people who pledge, then read all the ahead chapters, then canceled your pledges before you are charged, you can no longer use that tactic. And shame on all of you who did that.

After teaching Credence magic for the past 6 months, Edward did not immediately return to the future, but observe how the changes he made would affect the world, and also discover how the power of fate works. So, without any surprise, things went to their original track without Edward's interference.
Grindelwald still escaped his prison in MACUSA, Credence still met and developed a relationship with Nagini, Queenie still became of the Acolytes. More importantly, Credence was still convinced by Grindelwald to join his cause in an attempt to use him to kill Dumbledore.
Even though he was already aware of his heritage, Grindelwald still convinced the naïve boy that Albus Dumbledore not only stole his family from him but all the glory that should belong to him.
As for Edward, he watched all these things from the comfort of his hotel through a glass ball using Divination. Although he wanted to see the confrontation of Grindelwald and Credence against Dumbledore, he did not want to wait so long.
He knew that this would be an interesting battle as Credence also broke his First Limiter through the power of the Obscurus. He might be the youngest person to ever do so.
According to his research, Credence's constant repression of his magical power allowed it to grow rapidly under the influence of the Obscurus; then, when he reached the limit of 25, the Obscurus broke through that barrier or Limiter for him.
Oddly enough, it did not break the Second Limiter. After experimenting on Credence, he also discovered the mysterious power that prevented him from breaking the Second Limiter. Under his guidance, he had Credence use his Obscurus to try to break that Second Limiter, but it was no use; no matter how much power is used, it was to no avail.
After that, Edward reviewed some memories he got from Nicolas Flamel. According to him, the Grand Alchemist used his stone to break the first Limiter. However, after realizing that the grievances in the stone were affecting his magical power, he did not want to use this method for his wife.
So, he studied another method to accomplish this task, which was a way for wizards to break the Limiter through natural practice and hard work. A method he taught to a young Dumbledore after the latter graduated from Hogwarts and met Nicolas Flamel and became friends.
Oddly enough, his method worked for his wife but did not allow him to break through the Second Limiter.
Edward then summarized his findings in this matter to research it later, but then decided to just ask Death about it. However, knowing how the latter operate, he knew that without a proper reason or benefit, Death would never give him such knowledge for free. So, he has to find a way to entice him.
---Scene Break--
Edward was floating in the air, invisible to everyone present, while a group of wizards listened to a man in the center giving a grand and motivational speech: this person was of course Gellert Grindelwald.
Edward watched how the events of the second "Fantastic Beasts Movie" unfolded without intervening. After Nicolas Flamel used a counter-charm along with other gifted wizards to save the city of Paris from the "Protego Diabolica Curse".
After that, he took out an Alchemy item and used it to activate the power of the Gate of World to return to the small dimension inside. After that, he returned to 1992.
As soon as Edward walked out of the Gate, he felt the power of time enveloping him and rapidly aging him by 66 years. However, before that power had the chance to act, the ring that Edward made before traveling through time released a temporal aura that protected him from the effect.
After a few seconds of constantly fighting this aging curse, Edward left his laboratory on the moon to start his grand plan.
--Scene Break--
An old man was standing in front of the garden watering his plants. Suddenly, some new memories that he did not have before appeared in his mind.
"I met Edward in 1926? Before he was even born? Is this rascal messing with time now?" muttered the old man.
Soon after, an old woman slowly walked next to him before saying: "Newt, did you just have a random memory of Edward in 1926?"
Newt just nodded to his wife Tina.
"So, what do we do?"
"Just ignore it. Edward knows what he's doing, and it has nothing to do with us," replied the old man calmly. Then, the two of them continued their slow-paced life.
Meanwhile, a few people like Queenie and Grindelwald also received similar memories. Aberforth received a memory as well, however, he did not know Edward's identity as he covered his face during their encounter.
As for the No-Maj Jacob Kowalski, he died of old age more than a decade ago--leaving his wife, Queenie, a widow.
--Scene Break--
After spending a few days going around the world, Edward was having dinner with his aunt, Amelia.
"You rarely take the initiative to have dinner with me, so what's going on?" asked Amelia calmly with a stern look on her face.
"Why do I appear so terrible in your mind?" replied Edward. However, all he received was a glaring stare. So, he went straight to the point of this meeting.
"I've had a recent change in perspective recently, thus changing many of my plans. I have decided to conquer the entire world and take control of the advancement of civilization on this planet."
Amelia frowned after hearing this, not because Edward's words sounded ridiculous, but because she was surprised by the sudden change.
The truth of the matter, Amelia is one of the closest people to Edward--even surpassing his parents at this point.
When he was young, because his parents were morally righteous people, she used to be one of the few people that he would talk about his dream of making the wizarding world into a very advanced civilization.
And Amelia never treated her nephew as a kid talking nonsense as she knew how talented and forward-thinking he was.
Unfortunately, after his parents' death, Edward stopped talking about his plans and developed some sort of deeply hidden disgust at the wizarding world. He entered a deep state of depression after that, and it was Amelia who got him through it; it was even her who gave him the idea of using magic to find a way to revive them.
Thus, when Edward told her that he was moving forward with his plans again, she was indeed quite surprised.
After taking a moment to ponder about his words, she asked: "What do you need me to do?"
