Chapter 248
The mood of Yale's father only worsened after speaking about reincarnation .
Even Yale had to admit that reincarnation had huge risks for normal people although he didn't plan to speak about that .
Due to having his soul in a dissipation process, Liye had been forced to reincarnate into a male with one of his bloodlines due to the need of such strong relationship to let the reincarnation be a success; that was also the reason he needed so much time to reincarnate .
Liye had been able to rely on his insights about life and death together with the Space-time Judgment Sword to manage to do that . As for how Lar did it, Yale believed that her father had his own method to help her to reincarnate avoiding any mishap .
However, there wasn't such a rule in reincarnation, there was no need to reincarnate in someone who had relation to your previous body, nor was necessary having any similarity . It was even possible to be born in a different world belonging to another species as long it is a species with the same level of consciousness .
Unless the soul were especially crippled as Liye did in the Anpaes Kingdom to the traitors, a human or a half-beast wouldn't reincarnate into a normal beast .
However, it was possible to reincarnate into divine beasts as they were considered a species of the same level as humans and they weren't grouped with the normal beasts .
Thus, the normal people sent to reincarnation by Yale would have a random fate after reincarnation because Yale couldn't control it and he just relied on his sword .
When Liye had used Merciful Reincarnation in the past, he had always controlled that reincarnation to make sure that those people had a good reincarnation, but Yale was unable to do that with his current power .
The only thing Yale could do was praying for the clan head's luck in reincarnating in a good place because having the souls enslaved was a type of damage to the soul, so it would be difficult to him to recover his memories before reaching the Novice Rank . As for finding him, Yale doubted that such feat was possible for his current self .
The same applied for Yale's mother because Yale didn't even know who sent her to reincarnation . If it had been done by someone with a good control of life and death, there wouldn't be problems as long as he finds that person, but if the one who had sent her to reincarnation just sent her without taking any other measure, even that person wouldn't be able to find her .
Despite all the bad parts of being forced to reincarnate by Yale's Space-time Judgment Sword, everything was still better than a fixed fate as a soul slave of the True Empire . Yale decided that if he had a chance in the future, he would also help those pitiful people who ended enslaved by the True Empire .
Of course, that would be only if doing that didn't put him, his family, or his friends in danger; Yale may help them because they were the victims of his enemy and pitied them, but he still had his priorities .
"There is a barrier in front of those stairs . "
Yale suddenly came to a stop when he saw the barrier protecting the only way to advance .
"So, do you see stairs ahead? I only see a wall, the end of the way . However, I know that there is a hidden passage here that leads to Ange . Being a reincarnated expert is truly cheating you don't even need to gather knowledge to discover this hidden passage . "
That barrier had a layer of illusion to seem like a wall, but with Yale's Illusion Immunity, he had never seen a wall there .
Other reincarnated experts that didn't have Illusion Immunity like him would still see a wall there, but Yale's father had already a mindset that grouped all the reincarnated experts in the same group .
Of course, for Yale's father, the reincarnated people who weren't considered reincarnated experts were only pitiful victims of the powerful experts who thought that reincarnation was the best in the world; his opinion was far too biased .
"You have a method to cross it, right?"
Yale knew that such barrier couldn't be broken by force in a short time without alerting the True Empire .
"Yes, that person gave me the method . Activate your Time Bloodline and use Time Healing into the barrier . It is impossible to open this barrier alone, so don't try to ask for my part . "
Even if Yale knew how to do his father's part, he wouldn't be able to do it because the one using the power of the Zhan Clan and the other needed to be different people . That was an additional security measure because although they couldn't discard that there was someone who could infiltrate until that point, they didn't believe that they would let two of them enter and that casually one of them would be a member of the Zhan Clan .
In just thirty seconds the barrier was broken; once the conditions were met, opening it wasn't that difficult because those members of the True Empire needed to enter to check Ange's status and they couldn't waste an hour just opening the barrier .
Yale and his father proceeded slowly for fear of finding some traps, but they reached a huge gate without having encountered any; it was clear that the True Empire never thought that someone would infiltrate until that point .
"If my information is correct, Ange is behind this door . "
Yale's father said that while starting to open the huge door; they were underground, but that door was still huge because it was part of a formation .
After opening the door an enormous room without any decoration and an altar at the middle, appeared in front of them . There were torture artifacts on the floor, and a lot of them were in a bad state due to the use .
Yale and his father were terrified seeing that, and they rushed towards the altar where Ange was lying .
However, they sighed in relief seeing that there wasn't a single wound on her body and that there was a strange barrier protecting her making it impossible damage her body .
When she had been captured, they first tried to enslave her, but a seal on her soul protected her, and to make things more difficult, Ange had entered in a sleeping state with that barrier appearing around her body .
All those torture instruments were used to try to break the barrier, but they were unable to do it; that barrier even resisted the full strike attack of someone who had reached the Elder Rank .
However, they discovered that the barrier originated from the seal on her soul and as long as they erased that seal bit a bit, that barrier would also disappear .
The seal had been weakened a lot since the day Ange was captured and would be broken soon . That altar was the core of a formation to attack continuously the soul of the one who was lying on it .
"This is the Enslaving Altar Formation; a wicked art punished with death in any part of the continent . Anyone who is put in Ange's position would turn into a slave of the one who set the Enslaving Altar Formation; even someone at the Elder Rank would be enslaved in less than a minute . Thankfully she has that protection on her soul . "
Yale had read about that banished art in books; it wasn't a knowledge difficult to obtain as long it was only its name, effect and the fact daring to create one was suicidal because all the experts would be furious with the one who created it .
Of course, creating it wasn't an easy task and Yale didn't know how to do it, nor he planned to learn about it because he knew that the method used would be evil .
The foundation for the Enslaving Altar Formation were souls or more exactly enslaved souls . One should enslave someone's soul and use the soul of that person to power the formation; after the second one is enslaved both of them would power the formation, and consequently, the power of the Enslaving Altar Formation would increase and would continue doing the same process .
That formation wasn't under the prison by a random reason; those enslaved prisoners were sustaining the formation with their souls, which was slowly destroying their minds . Moreover, the only end of someone forced to power up such formation until the end was soul dissipation .
In fact, everyone who didn't know about those requirements for that Enslaving Altar Formation thought that having the soul slaves in jails was stupid because they couldn't betray the True Empire .
Of course, that Enslaving Altar Formation wasn't the only one in the Revgen Empire; there were a lot more set off by the True Empire in different cities .
Moreover, there was no need to use the Enslaving Altar Formation to enslave anyone who was at the Elder Rank or less . The secret and true objective of those Enslaving Altar Formations was to construct another formation by putting all of them together .
That formation would work as an enormous Enslaving Altar Formation and affect all the inhabitants of the Revgen Empire, members of the True Empire included .
Fortunately, they still hadn't set up any Enslaving Altar Formation in the area of Imperial City because that would alert the Imperial Family, so they had started working in backwater areas .
