Chapter 183: Different Futures

“Are you Yale’s past life?”

Aiwai had noticed Yale’s past life gaze and decided to speak to him.

“Indeed. Based on Yale’s memories, you are Aiwai; you seem to have treated Yale very well in the past.”

Aiwai had a weird feeling hearing Yale’s body speaking like that. After all, although Yale was her little brother, the one in front of her was a supreme expert who eradicated all his enemies without moving.

Aiwai had felt that the eldest prince was extremely powerful, she had been unable to resist even his subordinates, but Yale’s past life ended with all of them without the slightest effort. Moreover, she had heard the conversation with the eldest prince and thus knew that Yale’s past life was the master of Anpaes, the founder of the kingdom, and that even he was the one who gave Anpaes the divine beast bloodline.

Aiwai couldn’t avoid admiring Yale’s past life; she also wanted to reach such level one day. Before, the ones like the king who was at Rank 9 were her objective, but after seeing Yale’s past life in action, she felt that the Rank 9 was still too weak to be worthy of her final objective.

“Yale is my little brother, of course, I treat him very well. Senior, how should I call you? You aren’t Yale, but calling you Yale’s past life will be like revealing it to others. I am already recovered, the other hostages may awake at any moment.”

Aiwai was curious to obtain more information about Yale’s past life, and she also planned to share it with Yale later; she was sure that Yale would like it.

“They won’t awaken unless I want them to awaken. You awakened because I wanted to speak to you. About my name, I don’t have a name that I consider as my true name; I used myriad names in my long life, it isn’t like if one of them was better than the others. I can’t say that one of them is my true name and the others were false, all of them are part of me, part of the story of my past, choosing only one as my true name would be calling fake the experiences I lived using other names.”

Yale’s past life used to change his appearance to the point that people were only sure of his identity by showing the Space-time Judgment Sword; he had also used a lot of different names to match with the identities he took while traveling the different worlds.

Those different names and identities he used were almost always unconnected, and he valued them all. It was thanks to that vast experience that he turned able to surpass the Law Master level for the first time.

“Does senior have something to speak about with me? About the name, senior doesn’t need to tell me a true name, just one of them will be enough, for example, the name you said to Anpaes.”

Aiwai was surprised that Yale’s past life had something to speak with her, but she didn’t forget to try to obtain some information about him.

“Little girl, you are really insistent in learning one of my names.”

Aiwai felt awkward being called “little girl” by Yale’s body, but Yale’s past life had more than enough qualifications to say it.

“Well, I suppose that with your destiny I can tell you one of the names that I used in this world when taking disciples.”

Aiwai felt scared by the first part of the sentence because it seemed that he would tell one of his names to Aiwai because something extremely bad would happen to her.

“Are you scared now? That is okay, with your future anyone would be scared, poor girl.”

Aiwai wouldn’t be surprised if Yale’s past life predicted her future, but his words make her felt uneasy.

“What will happen to me?”

She had just escaped from turning into a slave; she couldn’t believe that she had that much bad luck to fall into another disastrous situation.

“Do you think that you are recovered from the soul slavery? That soul slavery was made with a flawed Death Law, it wouldn’t have worked as that trashy prince wanted even without my assistance, but sometimes using a flawed law is worse than using the Law correctly.”

Yale’s past life detected the problem from the moment he awakened and knew that even if Yale had been able to reach the palace before, the result would have been the same.

“Usually, that soul slavery should put some shackles in your soul to force you to obey, but it won’t affect your consciousness. However, that trashy prince made a huge mistake, his soul slavery failed and turned into something that would just erase the consciousness of every slave turning all of you into something like puppets who could only move and act after hearing orders. Although your body will be alive, that isn’t that much different from having your soul annihilated.”

Aiwai dropped to her knees after hearing Yale’s past life’s words.

“But I am feeling perfectly well right now. How can I be suffering such a curse?”

Yale’s past life sighed.

“I am using my power to restore all of your souls to the state previous to the start of the degradation, this is easy for me and I can do it even from far away, but my time is limited. After I disappear and Yale returns, all of your souls would completely lose any trace of consciousness after a week at most.”

Aiwai knew that there was no way Yale could turn into his past self at will and that there should be some restrictions to it, so she understood that there was no way Yale’s past life remained to help their souls forever.

“Do you have any method to save us?”

Since Yale’s past life bothered in helping them to restore their souls temporally, she thought that there should be some method.

“If you were someone completely unrelated to me, only one future would await you, but since you are considered family by Yale, I will give you the chance to choose among three possible futures, you are the one who will choose.”

Aiwai felt a bit relieved after hearing that, but she knew that there should be a bad part in every future or Yale’s past life would just save her instead of having her chose the future she wanted.

“Your first future is the future that will happen without my intervention; in a week you would have lost any consciousness and turned into something like a puppet. You can use that week to fulfill some wishes you have before dying.”

Aiwai didn’t want that future; she didn’t want to turn into a puppet after a week.

“The second future you have is reincarnation. I can use my space-time Judgment Sword to ignore the reincarnation rules and force you to reincarnate even in your current state. The effects of the soul slavery would end at the same moment you reincarnated, so you won’t have to worry about that. I can interfere to help you remember your current life, although probably you will forget a lot about your current life until reaching the Novice Rank.”

The second future would save her soul, but she didn’t know if she would meet Yale and Wyba again in her next life. Moreover, even if she managed to meet them someday, she wouldn’t be their older sister as she would be younger than them. After all, if the past life’s age is counted, Yale would be the oldest.

“Your third future it is just a betting, even I don’t know how it will end. In this future, I will seal you into a different space where the laws won’t be able to affect you. Even after I disappear, you won’t degenerate into something like a puppet. However, unless the root of the problem in your soul is completely healed, you will never be able to leave that space. Let me tell you that I am unable to heal your soul. I can just make it remain like now, but I can’t erase the source of the problem. Harming a soul is easy, but regenerating it to a perfect state is one of the most difficult things to do.”

The soul was extremely important for all living beings and especially for practitioners.

“What will happen to me in that space?”

Aiwai didn’t know if the option was good or bad, she still lacked information about that place where she would be sealed.

“That space is a place where Yale is usually storing things, but it is still unable to contain living things for too much time due to Yale’s current level of power. So, I will put you in a section of the space Yale is still unable to access and I will seal you with my own power instead of the power of that space. He should be able to enter in that section and break your seal after reaching the Practitioner Rank. Before that point, you will be unconscious while being frozen in the time. It will only be when Yale broke the seal that you will be able to live inside that space, but remember that if you choose this future, you will only be able to exit again if someone managed to erase that curse from your soul.”
