"You..."

Lina felt stupid for having tried so hard while Yale did it without any difficulty.

"You should have done that from the first moment! It seems that you wanted to see me acting like a fool!"

Lina started to punch Yale. Those punched weren't at full strength, and she was using only her physical strength, so they were completely ineffective towards Yale.

"I don't mind, but if you act like this with all your friends, you will kill them."

Yale's physical body was stronger than Lina's, and it was impossible for him suffering for that kind of normal attack, which didn't even have any killing intention, but each of those punches could easily kill an ordinary Sage Rank expert.

As for Law Master and Law Gods, if they hadn't obtained enough boosts in their physical strength, receiving a direct punch without any protection like Yale was doing at that moment would be a death sentence.

"If someone can't endure this, then that person isn't qualified to be my friend, and less my close friend. Weaklings aren't qualified to even speak to me."

Lina was serious about that matter as she said it with a voice as cold as the surroundings.

An Essence God was as the name implied a God, and the normal people venerated them without having qualifications to meet them personally.

Thus, Lina was literally a Goddess, and it was normal for her avoiding having relationship with weaklings. Only those who are her peers or are still considered kids with potential had the rights to interact with her.

The same rules applied to almost everyone who was at least a Law God, but although a Law God was still considered a God, for the true powers of the universe, a Law God wasn't impressive at all, and they didn't even consider someone with that power as an adult.

"I bet that you don't have many friends with those conditions."

Although Yale said that, it wasn't like if he couldn't understand Lina's reasons.

Compared with the unlimited lifespans of those who become at least Law Masters, the mortals have a limited lifespan, and with a simple journey to another world, it was perfectly possible for a lot of mortals you met to have died before returning.

After all, although those at the Sage Rank had long enough lifespans and even the lifespan of the Grandmaster Rank could still be considered passable, the lifespan of the weaker ones was just too short for the standards of true experts.

Thus, it wasn't wise for someone with an unlimited lifespan to be close to those with a limited one unless those people had the potential to become Law Masters and broke free of those limitations.

Yale's reincarnation was a good example; it lasted more than thirty thousand years, which was an eternity for mortals, so only those at the Sage Rank had chances of remaining alive, but for those who had unlimited lifespans, although it was a long time, it wasn't so important.

"It isn't that I can't have a lot of friends. I am just picky, and I prefer to have a few reliable friends rather than a lot of random ones."

Lina had a lot of acquaintances, but she didn't have a lot of people she could consider as a friend. Mostly because the personality she usually showed to the outside was too cold which made that others had difficulties in approaching her.

"Alright, don't try to justify yourself. Let's enter this building. I am curious to know what is inside."

Yale felt that Lina's reactions were too funny when she forgot about her cold personality cover. Lina usually wasn't so careless, but since Yale already discovered her and they were close friends, she decided to relax a bit.

Lina followed Yale inside the building, but she followed behind as she didn't want to obtain accidentally something that was left there to Yale.

"There is nothing here..."

Yale reached the middle of the building, but the only thing that could be seen in all directions were white walls.

"Maybe your father was just playing with you by leaving this white building here?"

Lina also felt that it was strange that there wasn't anything in that place.

"I am not playing at all."

Yale and Lina turned and looked to the person that had appeared in front of the door that just closed.

That person was just an incarnation, but both of them knew very well who that incarnation was.

"Father!"

"Uncle!"

Yale and Lina shouted at the same time. Yale had met his father's shadow in the Timeless Border and had also recovered his memories, so he recognized him without any problem.

Lina had met him before when he went to meet Lina's father, and it was also at that time that he asked Lina to call him like that.

The incarnation laughed while hearing those two shouting at the same time in surprise.

"It is good to see you again, my son. What name are you currently using? It seems that you finally got rid of that curse and recovered your Celestial Knowledge."

Yale's father was perfectly aware of the problem with Yale's soul.

"Call me Yale. My true name mustn't be used until the correct moment."

Yale's father nodded and looked towards Lina.

"You are the little Lina. You have grown a lot, and you are a real beauty right now."

Both of them met when Lina was still a child, but for an Origin God, as long the soul was the same it was impossible that they didn't recognize someone just because of the changes of the body.

"Thank you, uncle. I know that uncle is captive right now. How is uncle communicating with us?"

If it was possible to send an incarnation from that place, Lina believed that Yale's father would have done it from the start.

"I am indeed captive, but those bastards can't move freely due to this reason, so we are trapping each other despite me being the one imprisoned."

Yale's father laughed again. It seemed that being trapped for a lot of years hadn't provoked any change to his personality.

"I left this incarnation sealed here when I created this world. Although I can't send a new incarnation outside, there is no way for them to discover that I left this one sealed here, but in exchange, I couldn't move from this place, or they would have discovered, so I needed to wait for my son coming here."

That incarnation was just left as a safety measure in case something happened.

It wasn't that Yale's father was paranoid, but after his son's soul got cursed, he decided to take all the possible precautions in case something happened to him.

"I see. Father, is there any way for us to help you?"

Yale knew that it was still impossible to him rescuing his father directly, but he felt that he should be able to help indirectly.

"I have indeed something to ask you, but first, Yale, reply to one question. Is Lina my daughter-in-law?"

Lina's face turned red, and Yale felt that a calamity would happen if he didn't reply quickly.

"No! We aren't a couple!"

Both replied at the same with the same words although Yale said it with a calm tone while Lina was completely embarrassed that Yale's father thought that they were in that kind of relationship.

"Really? You seem to be very close. You don't need to lie; I won't oppose to your relationship. Lina, you are already an Essence God, and if Yale opened the door means that he also is an Essence God, although for some reason I can't sense his true level."

Yale's father felt that since both met the conditions to marry, they shouldn't hide it from him like most kids did when falling in love without meeting the requirements.

However, the truth was that there wasn't anything to hide since they weren't a couple and Yale wasn't even an Essence God, but since he had fused with two Essences, the door recognized him as if he was.

Due to Yale being a Timeless Sovereign, no one could detect his true level unless Yale wanted.

"We are only close friends!"

Lina rushed to reply as she wanted to avoid a misunderstanding and for the first time, she was glad that Yale's father couldn't move freely, or she betted that he would rush to her father's place and arrange the marriage without asking any more questions.

"It is as Lina says, we are only close friends. Close enough for her suddenly hugging me and putting my face in her chest."

Yale couldn't resist the temptation of teasing Lina a bit since her reactions were too funny.

"It was just because you two were too cute, and I couldn't resist. Wait! Uncle, forget what I said, that is too easy to misunderstand!"

Yale and his father were both laughing at Lina's reactions.

"Lina, your reactions are still cute as ever. Well, let's set this topic aside. We need to deal with some serious matters. After all, I want to attend the marriage of my son."

Lina was just a child when Yale's father met her, and she had yet to create that cold personality as a cover, so she was remembered as a cute girl.

"I won't marry him!"

Yale's father laughed again.

"I said marriage, but I didn't mention with who."

Lina felt more embarrassed after noticing that she fell in a trap set by father and son to tease her.
