Yale was unable to react when he heard that kid's last words.
From the start, Yale had thought that the kid was a descendant of him from the future, but he never thought that the kid was himself in the past.
Although Yale didn't remember having been in the Timeless Border before, he knew that his past life had been there before and he still lacked a lot of memories, so it wasn't impossible for him believing that he could find his past shadow.
However, the white-hair kid was a real consciousness and not a shadow and meeting the real consciousness of his past was something that surpassed Yale's expectations by far.
"Are you serious?"
Yale knew the answer to that question, but he was unable to restrain himself from asking it.
"Of course. I came here before turning ten when I decided to seal my name, my memories and the soul empowerment received from my mother. Thanks to that a new personality was developed in my body while my main consciousness didn't need to return. Basically, I erased myself, so it is normal that you didn't know about me at all."
The kid spoke like if what he was saying wasn't something important, but Yale knew that what he did wasn't a joke.
"Why? Why did you do that?"
Yale knew that if it weren't for that act of his previous self to seal himself on the Timeless Border, Yale's consciousness wouldn't have existed, but that only made Yale feel guilty.
"I needed to do it. Did you see how your body acted in the screens? Without any emotions just accomplishing his tasks perfectly and without any distinction among good and bad."
Yale didn't understand the relationship between both topics, but he nodded his head.
"If I hadn't sealed myself, I would have ended in a similar state due to that damn curse. At the start, it only made me impassible about love which provoked that I didn't even care about my parents, but I knew that the curse would grow once I started to practice…"
Yale could tell by the kid's face that he had a deep hatred for that curse.
"The Origin Path and the Fake Origin Path need the human practitioner to be ten years old at least. The real one has that age also as a limit being far stricter, but I had just a fake one, so I could have started later if I wanted. However, I wasn't planning to be a weakling, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to wait as that damn curse also made me more impatient to start training."
Yale could understand the feeling of not wanting to be a weakling, so he also understood that he would probably have felt the same in that situation.
"Although we have different consciousnesses, we are the same person at the end; it isn't that strange that both of us may have similar reactions in the same situation. Do you know the reason for humans being unable to train in our father's world? The reason for that was to prevent that would have felt inferior to other kids that practiced other paths. Now, I am really thankful for him because the curse doesn't exist in the Timeless Border because my cursed soul isn't here, but in the real world I never felt the slightest bit of gratitude for him…"
The kid knew very well how his parents tried to help him as much as they could without harming his fate more than it already was, and the fact, he never felt any gratitude nor love towards them was something that tormented him a lot after reaching the Timeless Border.
"When I started this plan, I just wanted to avoid turning into an emotionless monster due to that curse, I wasn't even conscious about how it had already affected me, but in the end, my objective remains the same. I don't mind disappearing forever, but I will get rid of that curse at any cost."
Yale could see the determination in that kid's eyes. Although Yale had never been affected so much from the curse, he agreed that it was better getting rid of it.
"I used the soul empowerment inherited from my mother and the piece of the legacy of the universe creator to seal that curse and prevent it from growing more, but if it weren't because our soul got damaged when obtaining the Origin Path and forced a reincarnation, the curse would have broken free after becoming an Essence God. After all, that curse is part of our soul, and it grows with us, even restraining it doesn't change that fact permanently."
Yale felt cold sweat at that moment, despite being in a body that didn't need to sweat at all, because he felt that he had underestimated that curse a lot.
"For you, that might have seemed like a stroke of bad luck, but call it coincidence or fate, that injury saved our soul."
Yale had previously felt that he wouldn't have any problem becoming an Essence God since he had a perfect Condensed Sword Essence and he wouldn't need to face the tribulation but hearing his self from the past speak about the curse, he started to feel that it wouldn't be so easy.
"From here I was unable to affect the real world, and I just acted like a spectator to everything, seeing the fate advance and change while being powerless. However, my future self in desperation before reincarnation, because his plans were still incomplete while was running out of time, came to the Timeless Border and I had a chance to speak with him."
Yale was already fully immersed in the story of his past self because that was a story he wanted to learn and something that was very important to him.
"In our conversation, I taught him how to create the Life Bloodline and Death Bloodline without descendants as he was unable to have children that could inherit them. Moreover, once I heard that he was developing a system to help his reincarnation I had a great idea. I made him discard his system, and I designed the Last Wish System for him. I designed the Last Wish System using the soul empowerment inherited from my mother as a base, and it increased the efficiency of the sealing on the curse that had also been weakened by the injury on the soul."
Yale was surprised to learn the origin of the Last Wish System because he always thought that his past life created it, but although that wasn't incorrect, it wasn't fully correct either since it was his original consciousness who designed it.
"I am also who named it. Didn't you feel it wrong that it was called Last Wish System when your previous life wasn't planning to lose his memories? It couldn't be considered a last wish at all. However, that is because it never referred to the last wish before going to reincarnation, but my last wish before disappearing forever."
Yale had indeed felt it strange since he learned that he didn't plan to seal his memories before reincarnation, but it made more sense after hearing his previous self-explanation.
"The Last Wish System had indeed worked well, but it was flawed, and the curse started to restore quicker than I thought with the new fate created by it. The result from that wouldn't have ended too bad because you would have found ways to remain it sealed, but in exchange, you would have lost everything that should have been important to you."
Hearing those words, Yale felt a scare but also understood that the fate leading to that disappeared.
"When I was desperate seeing that fate, something unexpected happened. I can't speak details to you right now, but in front of me appeared the second Timeless Sovereign, and for reasons that I can't tell you, both of us started to collaborate to advance in my plans."
At that moment Yale could already guess that the Timeless Sovereign was the one who sealed his memories before being born in his current life.
"You are right. Sealing your memories and altering the Last Wish System was part of my plan, and with that person's help, I managed to alter your fate to make you someone who could fulfill my last wish and get rid of that curse. Don't worry about how getting rid of it because to obtain that capability you still need to change the fate of your friends first. My wish and your wish are the same in the end."
Although Yale was unable to understand how could both things be related, he also felt that there wasn't any reason to doubt the words of his past self.
"It has been quite difficult making you come here without an immutable fate of dying after returning going again to reincarnation, or after you already became a Law Master. That curse would start to grow again at that moment even if you don't notice about it. You need to get rid of the curse before your breakthrough. Right now, after becoming a Law Master, those who you love as your family will turn people you will be unable to love."
Yale finally understood his situation, and it was far more severe than he expected. Regardless if that would also help his friends or not, he truly needed to get rid of that curse.
