Last Wish System Chapter 281
Advertisement
Yale looked the shocked faces of Krienek, Serka, and Kermu after hearing about Ange's identity.
Yale's true identity had been a shock, but he was like a monster with a level of practice unmatchable by those of his age that trained by normal means. Thus, they could accept that Yale was a reincarnated expert as that explained why had such a monstrous speed while training.
However, Ange's level wasn't anything exceptional despite being older than Yale, and she seemed like a normal girl. Thus, they would have never suspected that she was a reincarnated expert.
Most of the shock for Kermu and Serka was because of the messed family of Yale due to those reincarnations, but for Krienek there was another reason.
As far as he knew only those who had become Law Masters could reincarnate with all their memories and by Ange's words she reincarnated willingly and knew everything about Yale from the start, which meant that she was a Law Master in her past life.
Of course, Krienek didn't know of the effects of the Space-time Judgment Sword or about the seal in Ange's soul, but despite that his deduction that Ange's past life was a Law Master was still correct.
Knowing that Ange's past life was his ancestor's daughter and that she was a Law Master, there was only one person who fitted with that description, and that woman was extremely famous, so even Krienek had read about her in the secret documents of the Kurk Clan.
"Maybe... maybe your past life was that Sacred Maiden from the legends?"
Ange's past life was the kind of person who helped everyone even if she had to hurt herself in the process; pretty similar of how she was alright with sacrificing herself to let all the other family of her father flee successfully.
She was extremely well known by both normal mortals and experts and the people that venerated her like a goddess wasn't less than the people that wanted to be Liye's disciple in their world. Of course, that was because she never left the world despite being powerful enough to do it, or else there would be far more people that worshiped her from those worlds.
Even in their current era, there were still a few religions across the continent venerating her despite having forgotten long ago who they were worshipping. Some of them even were at odds with the others due to differences in the story they had registered despite being originally the same.

However, no matter how many people had worshiped her, there hadn't been any man who dared to express love for her because she never showed any interest in men and the people that worshipped her would have started a war towards anyone who dared to touch the Sacred Maiden.
When the Zhan Clan thought that she was dead, they told in public that she had died while attempting to make a breakthrough to the next level in practice. It wasn't strange dying due to such reasons, so even if there were some hundreds of years of people revolting thinking that she had been kidnaped by the Zhan Clan, in the end, everything calmed down.
If Ange's past life had appeared alive after the killing attempt and told the truth, all her worshippers would have died in battle for the sake of eradicating the Zhan Clan while the Zhan Clan would have been almost eradicated.
"There were a lot of people that called me by that name, but I never asked for it."
Krienek knew how important Ange had been, so he couldn't believe that she had appeared in front of him at the same time that his ancestor.
In fact, the past life of Ange and Yale were the strongest descendants of Liye's father. That wasn't any coincidence, but the true talent of their lineage was only passed to the first child, and the effect was on the soul of the child and not in the body.
Thus, Ange's past life's talent was impossible to compare to the other children of Liye, and since she never had any children, there wasn't anyone else inheriting such talent.
Both, Yale, and Ange were unaware of such fact; even Liye had put more attention to Ange's past life unconsciously for that reason. In fact, if Ange's past life would have had a child, it was almost sure that Yale would have reincarnated successfully and wouldn't have needed to wait for so long.
Ange also had a Special Innate Talent that was similar to Yale's Divine Eyes called Sacred Eyes. They were pretty similar to the ones owned by Yale, but the Sacred Eyes could only be used to detect the illness or problems of the people to help to heal them; it was far more limited than the Divine Eyes.
Usually, the natural Special Innate Talents were influenced by the nature of the owner, and since in both lives Ange had always hated conflict and only focused in helping others, that kind of Special Innate Talent was perfect for her.

"I think that it is better for us to return to the main topic. I understand that our identities may be a bit shocking, but we shouldn't be distracted."
In fact, despite saying that, even Yale was shocked that Ange was being called Sacred Maiden in her previous life, but given her temperament, it wasn't unbelievable.
"You say a bit shocking? Both of you are figures from myths and legends! This isn't a bit shocking; this can provoke an uproar in the whole continent if they discovered it!"
Krienek, Serka, and Kermu thought almost the same when they heard Yale saying that the identities, they had just revealed were only a bit shocking.
Even Nurvey had heard about the Sacred Maiden, but she wasn't aware that Ange was that Sacred Maiden because she didn't know that the Sacred Maiden was the daughter of the ancestor of the Kurk Clan, the Zhan Clan, and the Larken Clan. She only knew that such a person had existed in the ancient era, but she didn't even know that was someone from the Zhan Clan.
Serka and Kermu had also heard about some religions worshipping a Sacred Maiden that the worshippers claimed that had existed in the ancient era. Moreover, they also claimed that she would resurrect someday, and Kermu and Serka had before their eyes the reincarnation of that Sacred Maiden, so they ended confirming that the words of these religions were in the right, despite having thought that those religions were for fools.
In fact, those worshippers didn't know anything about Ange's reincarnation, saying that she would resurrect one day was just their wish.
"Does Ancestor know that there are some religions worshipping the Sacred Maiden? This is an important topic. Millions of worshipers would be at her orders at the moment that she shows her identity."
Yale didn't expect that there would be so many people worshipping Ange. If those millions of worshippers were to turn into an army and Yale were to teach them a bit, even the True Empire would have to fear them; there was nothing more dangerous than an army of fanatics.
However, Yale knew that doing that would be impossible and that Ange would need less than five seconds to speak against that.
"I won't order them to do anything. I never asked them to worship me, nor I would ask anything from them."
Yale sighed as Ange said just the words that he had thought that she would say. Given Ange's personality, she would never use the people who worshipped her as pawns for a war; she would rather act herself as the decoy than let others suffer.
"As expected from the Sacred Maiden, such a big heart."
Krienek looked towards Ange's chest while saying that; there wasn't any bad intention, he just looked towards the place where the heart was, but Yale didn't think the same.
"I heard that being blind helps to understand the Space Law. Do you want to give it a try? I can extract those eyes of yours and use some natural healing to avoid the temptation of recovering them later on."
Hearing Yale's threat, Krienek was scared to death and stopped looking towards Ange as he noticed that he had been far too disrespectful. Yale was weaker than him in level, but Krienek didn't believe that he had any chance to kill him, nor he dared to oppose to him as he was someone who deeply respected his ancestors.
"I am sorry!"
Krienek didn't plan to excuse himself even if he didn't have any bad intention because that would only make him seem guiltier.
"Since you are someone who had rendered merits for the Kurk Clan, I will forgive you this time, but the next you will be the test subject for the experiment for trying to become a Law Master in the Space Law while being blind."
The middle-aged man only nodded his head while thinking how could be so foolish to look towards the chest of a girl with her father in front of him; he was asking for a beating and had to give thanks that Yale had been merciful. Krienek also had daughters, and he wouldn't have hesitated in acting if someone looked at any of them with perverted desires.
