Last Wish System

Yale’s father had obtained some knowledge about the Enslaving Altar Formation, but it was also rather basic, and the only important pieces of information were the danger of move someone away from the formation without stopping it, the risks of stopping it, and how to stop it.

“Can you explain what part of moving her away or stopping the formation is dangerous?”

If the danger was just that the formation would attack them or something of that style, Absolute Protection was enough to save them; even if Ange were in direct contact with the altar when it attacked, she wouldn’t be harmed.

“The formation is attacking Ange’s soul; if the formation stops abruptly, the energy attacking her soul will turn berserk, and that berserk energy will damage her soul. Even if we break the formation by normal means, there will still be a fifty percent chance of her soul being damaged. Although that would still be better than turning into a slave, I don’t wish that fate for her because I know that you will force her to reincarnate in that case.”

It was just as Yale’s father said, if Ange’s soul was damaged to the point she couldn’t live normally, Yale would choose to make her reincarnate to free her from that fate.

An injured soul is too unstable, making her wait in that state in the hope that Yale reached the level to help her would only make her lose her mind. The mind of a normal person couldn’t endure too much time with an injured soul; only true experts are able to do it for some time like how Liye or Lar had been able to remain alive for some time even when their souls in a dissipation state, which was much worse than just soul damage.

“I am not confident in stopping that with my current power, but let me check something.”

Yale didn’t want Ange’s soul to be damaged nor force her to reincarnate due to that, so he wanted to check all the possibilities. He knew that the expert who talked with his father had given him a lot of information but not how to save her, so he guessed that it was because his father didn’t need to know about it as Yale was capable of doing it himself.

There was only one possibility in Yale’s mind to stop something like that, the Storage Space.

Yale had disappeared from that room and appeared inside the Storage Space, which provoked that his father had been a bit shocked due to it, but that just lasted for an instant until he remembered his believing that he could expect anything from a reincarnated expert.

Yale wasn’t confident in that just being inside the Storage Space would protect her in the same way as Aiwai because despite seeming similar problem the natures of their problems were completely different.

Liye had used it to avoid Aiwai’s problem to affect her until the moment when Yale could heal her. Aiwai was still in an undamaged state thanks to Liye’s help, but if the root of the problem weren’t solved her soul would end facing the consequences once she exited the Storage Space.

Ange’s problem was different; the danger to her wasn’t that her soul would deteriorate as the time passed, but that something that was trying to invade her soul and would retaliate from the inside at any moment when she left that Enslaving Altar Formation.

Inside the Storage Space, Yale went to an area that didn’t have anything in it and started to try to manipulate the time; he hoped to create a small area with the time stopped that emulated the previous functionality of the Storage Space.

If it was only creating an area with the time slower than in the outside, that was within Yale’s capabilities inside the Storage Space, but completely stopping the time was difficult to do even in that situation.

Yale activated his Time Bloodline hoping that it would help him to create a small zone with the time stopped. At that moment, he felt a familiar sensation resonating with his Time Bloodline, but he was unable to detect the source of it.

Moreover, that resonance let Yale create a small area where one minute inside was comparable to one day outside. Sadly, Yale didn’t know how much time would Ange have before that retaliation of the enslaving energy, and he didn’t want to play with Ange’s safety, so that time rate wasn’t enough; he wouldn’t be confident unless he managed to stop it completely.

After that, he would need to ask some help for Lashar or maybe even look for Revgen to help Ange removing that energy from inside her.

Some time passed and Yale’s manipulation of time was starting to affect the stability of the Storage Space which was dangerous for Aiwai. Yale wanted to save Ange, but there was no way Yale would choose to save her sacrificing Aiwai, and the same would apply in the opposite way. Thus, he was about to stop and look for another method to create that area with the time stopped when he was finally enlightened.

The enlightenment wasn’t about how to stop the time, but about the true nature of that familiar sensation, he was having. That felt extremely similar to how the Sword Bloodline reacted towards the Condensed Sword Essence and the same applied with the Death Bloodline and his corresponding Essence.

“The Time Law inside the Storage Space has been formed thanks to a Time Condensed Essence.”

The current Storage Space was akin to a small world that only had the Time Law and the Space Law; without those two it would be too difficult for the Storage Space existing as a place where one could enter freely.

However, Yale never understood how that space was created nor how Liye designed it to let Yale manipulate it with his low power; he needed to be at the Practitioner Rank, but in normal circumstances, that kind of space wasn’t something that could be created or controlled by someone at such low rank.

At that instant, he finally understood it well; the Time Law of the Storage Space was derived from the Condensed Time Essence, and he was sure that the same applied with the Space Law. Under such conditions, it was still possible for Yale to have something like the Storage Space and control it freely even if the Storage Space wasn’t completely stable.

“Those two Condensed Essences had been in front of my eyes the whole time, but I failed to notice it until now.”

In fact, it hadn’t passed so much time since Yale obtained the Storage Space, but he still felt that he had been too short-sighted for having noticed it earlier.

Of course, Yale couldn’t retrieve those Condensed Essences without provoking a big damage to the Storage Space, so he didn’t plan to do it because Aiwai’s life was related to the existence of that Storage Space.

Due to that, Yale wouldn’t be able to use the Condensed Time Essence to suppress the True Zhan Clan in the same way as he used the Sword Essence to suppress the True Larken Clan members.

However, Yale believed that if he managed to obtain some understanding of the Condensed Time Essence from the Storage Space, he would be able to control it enough to create a little area with the time stopped.

Yale remembered how he understood the other two essences previously and tried to harmonize with the Storage Space.

The effects were quicker than Yale expected as his bloodline synchronized completely with the Storage Space and for the first time the Origin Time Bloodline appeared; sadly it could only be used inside the Storage Space.

A three-meter area with the time stopped appeared in front of Yale at the same time that the Time Bloodline returned to normal and he fell to the ground with a pale face. Even with all those favorable conditions, he was completely exhausted by creating that small area with the time stopped.

Moreover, that area wouldn’t last for too long, nor would be possible to create another immediately after that one disappeared. After all, even the previous Storage Space had a time limit for people being inside with the time stopped.

The weirdest thing was that Yale was able to sense the exact time that the area with the time stopped would last, and it was perfectly synchronized with the remaining time of his sub-quest.
