In all honesty, I wonder if that is actually the case.

Yuuki certainly made it seem like he had access to "all skills" when he broke up Ahura Mazda to create Akashic Records. If that was the case, then it would mean it has all skills and ultimate skills developed since the dawn of the world as created by Veldanava.

I feel the knowledge of Velda didn't mean the knowledge he held at the beginning of the world, rather his knowledge of the principles of creation, in other words, all things. Plus, Veldanava's knowledge extends past the creation of the world.

The Akashic Records are indeed something that does not contain "future information". So you are correct about that. Rimuru, if he has Akashic Records, would not have access to skills that do not exist yet. Rather he gain access to skills as they develop.

The Akashic Records are, in actual mythology, the culmination of all information gathered. In other words, its the collective of everything known at that point in time. But, by definition, it "gains" new knowledge as it is discovered.

For example, let's say you wanted to find the formula for a center of a black hole. Because the information is not known, it wouldn't be in there. Rather once the formula is discovered, it becomes "entered" in the records.

In other words, it isn't something that contains "all knowledge", but "all knowledge known". It's not the collective unconscious or the God's Eye/Truth principle of alchemy.

The Ultimate Skills are created by a person's soul, and they rest in their very being, the skills only emerge once in a lifetime too due to the world system. Meaning a person will "hatch" an Ultimate Skill and it will be added to the Akashic Records. After the person's demise, all information regarding the Ultimate Skill will still be recorded, and could be harvested by something with a high-grade analysis skill and/or Creation Lord Ahura Mazda to re-create the skill for something else.

It is in this way that Rimuru could get access to all skills past, present, and future. He has all knowledge of skills past and present, and the "future" will only add more to the "present" causing the records to become "updated" every time.
