Maybe it took that long for Keres to figure out exactly how to tap into all that power he absorbed (just because he had the power of a God doesn't mean he knew how to properly use it), but one of its side effects was agelessness (not to be confused with immortality). But to keep the fact a secret, he pulled a Highlander and moved on when he finally got too "old" for people to not notice he wasn't aging anymore. Change the name, become a new man (maybe two or three times if centuries past), and at some point he finally figures out the secret and boom... ascension.
