Last Wish System Chapter 435
Advertisement
Ignoring that the reincarnation of the woman who cursed the man he just killed was in his world, Yale returned to the place where Lina's group had been watching the battle.
"It is over. Let's go back to the inn. I still need to teach some things to my new disciple."
Yale wasn't happy after the end of the battle. He had won, but that was battle that the other party asked because he wanted to die, so there wasn't any pride in the victory.
Moreover, the other party had been weakened for the curse, so he was far from his peak strength, so even without using the Celestial Knowledge, it wasn't strange that Yale won easily.
The only good part about that battle for Yale was the increase in his proficiency on Laws and Essences, but he still regretted not having the means to save the madman instead of just helping him to die without benefiting the one who cursed him.
[Name: Yale (Timeless Sovereign)]
[Age: Undetermined]
[Origin Level: Essence God]
[Stats maxed. Battle Master]
[Essence God: Sword, Time, Life, Death, Space, Smith, Archery, Martial Arts]
[Law God (peak): Water]
[Law God: Whip, Rod, Spear, Hammer, Axe]
[Law Master: Thunder, Fire, Darkness, Light]
[Partial Laws: Earth, Wind]
Since none of his power-ups needed a tribulation, he wasn't fully conscious of them until he checked the Last Wish System, but the results surpassed his expectations.
Seeing his speed in training the battle-focused Laws and Essences, Yale believed that in some more battles, they would all reach the Essence God level.
Besides that, he also reached the peak of the Law God level in Water because he mastered the Water Essence. He had been focusing on it previously, and the battle helped him to finish mastering it.
However, since he didn't have any special help to train the Water Essence, the fusion with his soul didn't happen almost immediately like with Archery and Martial Arts.
Moreover, he would need to face a tribulation before becoming an Essence God in the Water Essence, so he needed to train it slowly.
Yale had never faced any tribulation before because they were nullified by his soul empowerment, the Life and Death Trials, the acknowledgment of the Battle God, and the enlightenment provoked by the information of Tofesh.
However, the only of them which could affect the Water Tribulation would be the enlightenment, but that wasn't something that could be activated at will and the chances of the breakthrough happening at the same time given that the topic had no relationship with it was too difficult.

Previously, he made a breakthrough because his soul healed which aided him to become an Essence God in the Space Essence, but that was an exceptional situation, and Yale didn't expect that could happen again.
Yale spent the next month teaching his disciple, and in that time, everyone treated him like a god, attending all his necessities instantaneously and the mayor decreed that anyone who offended Yale would face the capital punishment.
Similar things happened in all the other cities, but since Yale wasn't there, they were far more relaxed.
The reason for such treatment was that all they had seen the battle in the moon, and they were scared to death by Yale's prowess who pummeled the madman who inspired fear in everyone.
Moreover, due to that battle, all the Law Gods were sure that the madman wasn't a Law God but at least and Essence God.
At the start, those Law Gods only knew that Yale was stronger than a Law God, so they thought that he was an Essence God, which was a correct guess, but after seeing that battle, they started to think that maybe Yale was at even a higher level, so their level of respect increased to the point of reverence.
The strongest foreign enemies of those living in that world were Essence Gods, or else it would have been impossible for even the Law Gods to flee from them even using tricks and deception.
Thus, believing that a World God was residing in their world made everyone think that their safety was ensured for the rest of their lives, which led them to treat Yale literally like a god.
Of course, Yale didn't plan to remain there for his whole life, nor had any intention to interfere with the living of the cowards living in that world.
However, if someone dared to disturb him while he was there, he would retaliate because he hated to be interrupted when teaching others or having a rest.
Two weeks after Yale's battle, a new Law God who tried to become the overlord after just arriving at the world was annihilated by Yale because he dared to barge in Yale's room while he was sleeping with Lina, and a Law Master who interrupted when Yale was teaching his disciple suffered the same fate.
That Law Master just wanted to beg Yale to take him as his disciple too, but he was far too unpolite and even insulted Yale's disciple calling him incompetent.

Those two incidents only increased Yale's fame without him leaving his room in the whole month.
Only Shiba, Eini, and his disciple were allowed to enter his room. Everyone else could only do it if Yale had requested it. Otherwise, not even the owner dared to enter.
Of course, Lina was living with him, so she didn't leave the room either in the whole month.
"Alright, your knowledge should be enough for now. I have the last test for you. It is a deadly one, but with me here, I can rescue you in case of danger. Have you heard of the Life and Death Trials?"
Since his disciple was interested in learning not only the Death Law but also the Life Law, Yale felt that the Life and Death Trials were very important to him.
"Only rumors."
The disciple didn't dare to lie about the topic. He had only heard that was a very hard trial that those with huge background and great aspirations faced.
Moreover, it was just because he traveled for the whole world that he managed to hear rumors about it because there were people from too many places living there. Usually, even hearing rumors about the Life and Death Trials would be difficult.
"Then, I will explain it to you first."
Yale started to explain how the Life and Death Trials worked to increase as much as possible the possibilities of his disciple to succeed.
Of course, even with explanations, it was still difficult to succeed.
"Finally, you must remember this. Although you may think that everything in the trials is happening in your head, everything is real. No matter the coincidences you saw or the difficult to believe a situation seemed, don't try to deny it, but don't forget who you are either. You need to find a balance between conserving your true self and accepting the lives you will experience. It is a delicate balance, but finding it is the key for the Life and Death Trials."
Yale's past life managed to surpass the Life and Death Trials, but he needed to admit that his curse helped him as he was never bound by love to any of those worlds. There were people important to him, as his master the first time he used the name Liye, but he never felt love, so he never wished that any of the lives from the Life and Death Trials became his real one or had the temptation to abandon his real self.
Love was the deadliest trap on the Life and Death Trials, a sweet temptation that provoked the failure of a lot of people. Of course, most of them even died in their real bodies because of it.
Stubborn people usually had higher chances to succeed, so Liye would have managed to succeed even without the curse, but it wouldn't have been so easy.
Lina had also succeeded due to her stubbornness, and that was quite a typical reason for most of those who did it.
On the other hand, people who hated their real life or had no guts at all like most of the cowards living in that world would end losing themselves easily.
Yale felt that his disciple had the right mindset, so there was a slim chance to succeed. However, even with failure, those experiences could be valuable for him.
"I understand, master. I am ready to face it."
The disciple knew how difficult the chance was of experimenting the Life and Death Trials after hearing Yale's explanation, so he wanted to give it a try.
"Very well. I will send you there and leave an incarnation of mine here to save you in case you needed it. I still have important things to do, so I can't spend more time here."
Although the time flew at a different pace in the Life and Death Trials, someone who succeeded would still use a lot of time, and Yale had already used a whole month to teach his disciple, so he was eager to leave.
If it weren't because with his current power he needed his real body to send someone to the Life and Death Trials, he would have left after the battle and had an incarnation left behind teaching his disciple.
"I understand the master is someone busy. I am thankful that you, master, spent so much precious time for my behalf."
After that, Yale sent that disciple to the Life and Death Trials and left the world.
