Revgen went to prepare the Imperial Family and the noble clans for the start of the final war against the True Empire in the continent.

Liye would be the one in charge of dealing with the Hyeran Clan, but as all the attacks should happen at the same time to avoid any mishap due to the danger of any information about the attack leaking to the others, he was forced to wait until Revgen finished his preparations, so he entered into the Storage Space.

The place Liye chose to appear wasn't Aiwai's house nor the place where the others had been; it was a random point where no one else could see him.

"As expected, it is just as I was told, although I can detect the Condensed Time Essence and the Condensed Space Essence, I can't absorb them despite being able to use their power while being here. It looks like Yale will need to absorb them himself."

Liye knew that absorbing the Condensed Time Essence, he would be able to heal Aiwai, his disciple, but he wasn't able to absorb any condensed essence that wasn't already in his body before Yale activated Origin Link.

After confirming that he had no way to absorb the Condensed Essences, Liye teleported to Aiwai's house. In fact, as the house was big, he fixed the teleportation destination to be at Aiwai's side.

Aiwai was tired from crafting weapons and armors, so she hugged Wyba and dragged her to take a bath together. Such action wasn't something weird for her as she did at least two times every day.

However, Yale was completely unaware of that, so it wasn't in his memories and Liye didn't even bother to confirm what Aiwai was doing, which lead him to appear in from of Aiwai and Wyba when both were still bathing.

Aiwai was scared when Liye appeared, but after seeing that the one who had appeared was Yale's body and remembered that there was no way someone else was in that house, she sighed in relief. After all, she never cared about Yale seeing her body.

"Yale, you surprised me. Do you want to take a bath with your big sister?"

After saying those teasing words, Aiwai noticed that there was something amiss as Yale's eyes seemed more profound than usual and she had already seen those eyes before.

"Wait, maybe you are my master?"

Although Aiwai knew that Yale and Liye had basically the same soul, the personalities of both were quite different, and Aiwai didn't dare to be disrespectful with Liye, who was her master, so she felt ashamed of her previous words.

Aiwai knew about Yale being a reincarnated expert and had meet Liye before, but for Wyba that was the first time that she met Liye, so she just jumped towards Liye thinking that he was her big brother and hugged him.

"Big bro, I missed you."

Liye didn't plan to explain anything to Wyba because he felt that the little girl wouldn't understand it well and would just be troublesome for her, so he only returned the hug to her. Then, he made Wyba change into her wolf form before he continued speaking.

For Liye forcing her to change forms was easy, and he thought that he couldn't be taken seriously by anyone when a naked half-beast girl was hugging him, so he decided to transform her because he felt that hugging a little wolf was better.

Wyba didn't think about why she had changed forms and just enjoyed Liye's hug.

Aiwai was surprised by Wyba's transformation into a wolf, but since Liye was someone unfathomable, she didn't think that was impossible for him transforming a half-beast with a divine bloodline into a divine beast.

"Put some clothes; we need to speak."

Liye wasn't excited by seeing the naked body of a woman; even Yale had developed immunity to Aiwai at that point, needless to say, Liye who had far more experience.

However, Liye was a master with a great reputation; he couldn't have a serious conversation with a disciple while the disciple is naked. In fact, some of his female disciples had tried to do it before to seduce him.

Zhana and Kurka were the two who tried it first, and then other female disciples imitated them. However, that just made Liye upset because that didn't seem serious and he forbade such behavior.

In the end, Zhana and Kurka managed to have Liye's children, but that was just because their compatibility with the bloodlines that Liye was planning to pass down was the highest, not because they managed to seduce him with their bodies.

Aiwai rushed to put some clothes because she understood that being naked in front of her master wasn't something polite even if she didn't mind that her master saw her body, and Liye was the one who suddenly appeared while Aiwai was taking a bath.

After that, both of them walked towards a room and sat there. Of course, Wyba remained in Liye's arms while he petted her.

Liye started to explain the current situation to Aiwai by Spiritual Sense because Liye thought that it was better if Wyba didn't hear anything about the current situation in the outside. He saw in Yale's memories that Wyba liked to help in dangerous situations, but the danger that time against the True Empire was far too high for her, so it was better if she didn't know anything.

"So, that happened to Yale; If I had been there, I wouldn't have let anyone harm him."

Although Aiwai said those words, she was far from being a match to a Sage Rank expert, but she would rather die herself than let Yale or Wyba die in front of her eyes.

"If you exit from this dimension, you are doomed. Moreover, Yale would awaken after I disappear, so this time there hasn't been any danger for his life."

With Origin Link, Yale always had a trump card to save his life in front of death, so he hadn't been in real danger at any moment, but that trump card had already been used. Moreover, a forbidden skill like Origin link wasn't something that could be used easily, so there wouldn't be a second Origin Link to save Yale's life a second time.

"Master, there isn't any way for me to exit this dimension even if it is only for some time?"

Aiwai knew that Liye couldn't heal her, but she hoped to at least be able to exit for some time in times of danger to help Yale.

"There is, but there will be several consequences for you and the time you will be able to be outside would be only an hour each month, more than that, and your soul won't be able to endure it. This method is completely unorthodox, and even if Yale manage to heal your soul completely later, the after-effects won't disappear."

Although Liye couldn't absorb the Condensed Essences to heal Aiwai, at least he could use them externally to heal her partially, but that healing would be far from perfect and wouldn't be without repercussions for Aiwai.

Aiwai felt happy about the fact that there was a method, but she really feared what those after-effects would be.

"Master, can you explain me more about that method?"

Despite her fear, she valued Yale and Wyba more than her own life, so she wanted to hear all the risks, and as long as she felt that she could afford them, she wouldn't hesitate.

"In this dimension, my control over time is better than in the outside, so it is possible for me to heal your soul to the point where you can be outside for the span of time that I told you before. However, for do that I will need to access completely to your soul and that isn't possible even if you want to let me do it."

It was usually impossible for anyone to let others had full access to their souls, but there wasn't any other way for Liye to heal Aiwai with his current power.

"Then, how do you plan to access my soul?"

Aiwai didn't mind Liye accessing to her soul, but her master had just said that doing that was impossible even if Aiwai allowed him.

"The answer is the Soul Contract, with that I will be able to have full control over your soul to heal it and in the future, that will also make it easier for Yale to heal you completely, but a half-beast can't make a Soul Contract. Of course, humans can't do it either."

Aiwai still didn't understand what Liye was planning to say as he said a solution that was still impossible to do.

"However, a beast can do that contract. Thus, I need to transform you into a divine beast, and then you will be able to initiate a Soul Contract. I already said that the method would have permanent after-effects. Although a divine beast can change into a half-beast form or human form freely, the true body of the divine beast is still the beast form. I only told you about this method because you asked. If you aren't willing, I have no intention to force you. You shall think it well because it is an important decision, but sadly, I don't have too much time to wait for your answer, so you shall decide it in fifteen minutes at most because the process will require some time."
