《Last Wish System 》Chapter 379: Dealing with the Soul Curse
Advertisement
Yale felt how he was making consecutive breakthroughs without stop.
At that moment, he had recovered almost all his memories, and that knowledge was enough to push his level. However, Yale's body had also suffered a lot of stress due to the berserk Essences making it improve, so when both things summed up, Yale's stats overflew, surpassing what should have been the limit of his level.
Fortunately, there was also a lot of Origin Qi generated from that, so he quickly increased his level to reach the same level as his stats.
"It seems that I can't waste more time to get rid of the curse."
There wasn't any joy on Yale's face for his breakthroughs.
Yale was already at the 9-star Sage Rank and was about to become a Law Master at any moment, but he couldn't allow that to happen before having got rid of the curse.
The stats of Yale body had already reached the max which should have been after becoming a Law Master, and Yale with his memories from his past life had already mastered some Laws, so the breakthrough was a matter of seconds.
"Activate administration mode!"
Yale shouted in his mind without wasting more time.
"Last Wish System's administration mode activated."
There was a quick reply from the system as Yale expected.
"Disable all soul protections. Start curse protocol Z."
Yale knew very well how important that moment was, a slight mistake and he would turn a monster comparable to the artificial intelligence that had controlled his body before.
"Soul protections disabled. Starting curse protocol Z. Curse protocol Z activated successfully. The system will shut down until the curse protocol Z ended."
At that moment, all the restrictions blocking the advance of Yale's curse disappeared, and the moment of the breakthrough to Law Master was a great chance for that curse to affect the rest of Yale's soul.
However, before the curse could act the legacy of the universe creator activated slowing it down.
"Everything is going as planned."
At that moment, Yale's hair turned silver and his eyes golden while he activated the full soul empowerment he inherited from his mother.
"Death Essence, obey my orders!"
Like if guided by Yale's voice, almost all the death aura of the Death Mountain condensed into an enormous sword that levitated on the sky.

The power of that soul empowerment was called Celestial Knowledge, and when it was used, even the Essences would need to obey. However, if the proper knowledge for the Essence was lacking, that state couldn't be sustained for long, and it was extremely tiring.
It was relying on that skill that the original self of Yale sealed himself in the Timeless Border.
It was a strange soul empowerment and one difficult to inherit, as far as Yale knew while using it, the only ones who managed to pass it down was the Battle God who passed it to Yale's mother, and Yale's mother who passed it to her son.
Of course, it was possible to have such ability without relying on the parents because the Battle God's father was a normal mortal in his original world.
Yale didn't know how much people managed to awake that state, but based on his memories, which included those of his past life, there were at least two who also have the Celestial Knowledge just based on the sensation he felt while remembering them.
One of them was the universe creator, who Yale had meet in the Timeless Border. As for the other one, Yale knew that was the person who helped his original self; a mysterious entity that was nicknamed as Mysterious Expert.
Coincidentally, both of them were at the highest rank Yale knew, and both were also Timeless Sovereigns.
Yale thought that awakening that capability might have something to do to become someone at the pinnacle, but he didn't want to make assumptions based on baseless proofs.
After all, Yale's mother wasn't a Timeless Sovereign, and the Battle God wasn't at the same rank as the universe creator and wasn't a Timeless Sovereign either.
They were still outstanding, but there wasn't any clear pattern to affirm that awakening the Celestial Knowledge was a decisive factor.
The Celestial Knowledge was a huge cheat, there was no doubt of that, so there was no doubt that making a good use of it would increase the chances of becoming an expert at the pinnacle, but it wasn't like if just by having the ability, it was possible to learn the Laws or Essences without effort.
"Come!"
The huge sword of Death Essence started to rush towards Yale while hearing that order, and it didn't stop even after meeting with Yale's body.

Yale let out a huge cry as he never felt so much pain in his life nor in his past life.
The giant sword disappeared after all that death aura stabbed Yale's soul almost destroying it completely.
The damage was several times higher than when Liye needed to reincarnate due to soul damage.
In such state, Yale's soul would dissipate in just two minutes, and reincarnation was completely impossible.
Withstanding the pain, Yale looked at the state of his soul with the Celestial Knowledge.
The soul was damaged to the point that even someone like the universe creator would have no way to save, but the curse had been completely eradicated.
Yale started to laugh loudly while withstanding the pain.
"I won!"
Some seconds later Yale looked again at his soul at the same time that his pain faded.
The soul that should have been irreparably damaged had restored completely, with the difference that there wasn't any curse on it, and that the part of the soul that previously contained the curse was far weaker than the rest.
"I will be stopped at the pinnacle of the Sage Rank until that part of my soul toughens enough, but as long as the curse is eradicated, everything is alright."
Yale felt like if he had got rid of an enormous burden at that moment. That was a curse that not even his mother who was at the same rank as the universe creator managed to cure, but Yale did that by himself.
Of course, Yale's method could only apply in himself, and it would be impossible for Yale to cure someone else in the same state.
Although being a Timeless Sovereign didn't have much use in the real world, there was something that applied to a Timeless Sovereign even without entering in the Timeless Border.
There was no time for a Timeless Sovereign, and as such, even without having become a law Master, someone with that title already had an unlimited lifespan.
Moreover, a Timeless Sovereign was nearly unkillable. As long a single trace of the body or the soul existed, the Timeless Sovereign would be able to regenerate perfectly, and of course, any negative part would be omitted in the regeneration.
To kill a Timeless Sovereign, it was a must doing it completely in body and soul before the Timeless Sovereign had time to regenerate, but since the regeneration speed was overly fast, it almost turned in a need for them to die with one hit.
Of course, even in that case, they would only die in the physical world because in the Timeless Border they were unkillable unless the Timeless Border itself was destroyed.
A dead Timeless Sovereign couldn't leave the Timeless Border, but from there could curse the fates of those who killed it without needing to worry about the after effects after returning to the real world.
Thus, even though killing a Timeless Sovereign was theoretically possible, no one who knew the fear of a Timeless Sovereign would dare to try it.
The only weakness of that capability of a Timeless Sovereign was that the regeneration and power over fate only applied to those universes linked to the Timeless Border, when going to other universes as the universe creator did, it was far easier to kill them in comparison.
That overpowered regeneration capability was the reason for Yale needing to be a Timeless Sovereign to get rid of the curse.
Yale needed to destroy almost all his soul leaving only something that hasn't been affected by the curse, and due to that capability, the soul would regenerate with the only side effect that the parts invaded by the curse before were far weaker than the rest.
Yale's stats were still overflowing because they still surpassed his current level, but that at most made him a bit uncomfortable and it wasn't a big issue.
Although Yale felt a bit regretful that his level stopped to increase due to getting rid of the soul, he knew that it was just a temporary matter.
After all, Yale's previous Life had already understood that full Sword Essence and Yale was fused with the Condensed Sword Essence, so the current Yale also knew everything about the Sword Essence and since he wouldn't need to face the trial, as long his soul recovers completely becoming an Essence God would be as easy as breathing.
Moreover, as a Timeless Sovereign, he was a superior existence to the Time Essence, so Yale mastered it automatically after returning to the real world, and as a Timeless Sovereign, there was no way he would need to face tribulation for something related to time.
"I should use this chance to modify the Last Wish System. It isn't too optimized for my current self."
