Yale felt like if he was sinking into the endless darkness while mories from his ti with Aiwai and Wyba repeated endlessly in his mind.
However, each ti the mories ended with the scene of both of them disappearing in the space ripple, and then the mories started to repeat again.
"Why? Why has it ended in this way? It is my fault. They two are gone because I was unable to protect them."
Yale blad himself each ti he saw Wyba and Aiwai disappearing. He didn’t know how much ti passed since he started that loop of mories, but he felt that he had been in that state for a lot of ti.
"No, I am wrong. It isn’t just the two of them, master also died, and I still don’t even know if his soul was saved or not..."
At so point, Yale rembered about Swordmad’s death, and the mories about Swordmad also rged with those of Aiwai and Wyba making it even more difficult to endure for Yale.
"What about the others? They were all swallowed by the space ripples, are they alright? I have failed to everyone, and I was just worried by so of them? I am despicable!"
As Yale continued blaming himself, the mories regarding all of those swallowed by the space ripples also started to appear in the mories repeating endlessly in his mind.
"Why have I gone to the Dragon Race tribe? Why didn’t I leave quickly after visiting them? Why didn’t I just bet it all and jumped to a space ripple with those important to ? Why?"
Yale couldn’t avoid continuing questioning his own actions. He wanted to know when he had dood everyone because of his selfish decisions.
When more and more mories were being added to the endless loop of mories flashing through Yale’s mind, there was a mory that caught Yale’s attention.
"What is that mory? I don’t rember anything like that, from who is that mory?"
Before Yale could continue guessing more unknown mories appeared, and they seed all from different people.
"What is this? Stop! Those aren’t my mories!"
Yale wanted to cry from the pain his mind was suffering, but he didn’t have a body to do it.
The new mories were increasing, and a lot of people he didn’t know appeared there calling him by different nas.
"I don’t know them, but why I am feeling so bad for not knowing them? What is happening to ? I already lost everything. All my friends are gone, my family is gone. Who are those people who seem close to ? No, that is not , they are close to the person who belongs those mories, but why I also have those mories. Haven’t I enough with my own problems?"
Yale felt like turning mad with all those mories appearing from nowhere.
The stream of new mories continued to mix with Yale’s mories which clouded even more Yale’s mind.
"Who am I? Are all those mories mine? Real mories? Fake mories? How can I distinguish them?"
Yale wanted to discard those mories when they started to appear, but he found that he couldn’t bear to do it, like if he was considering them as important as his own.
He feared those mories and wanted to reject them, but he was unable to do it
"What is happening to ? Am I even alive? I can’t feel my body and not even the Last Wish System is working..."
Yale’s consciousness tried to access the Last Wish System, but it didn’t work. The Last Wish System was in Yale’s soul and drifting in the darkness was only Yale’s consciousness.
"Liye, wake up!"
A sudden call shocked Yale’s consciousness. The call was a from a new mory that had just appeared, but that ti Yale recognized the na.
"Liye... That was one of the nas I used in my past life. Is this a mory from my past life?"
Although Yale though that at the start he discarded it imdiately because the situation didn’t fit with his past life at all.
"From today on you are my disciple. I accepted you although you can’t train at all. Don’t disappoint ."
Those words said by an old man were the ones that made Yale discard any possibility of being his past life and ended considering that it was just soone that was also called Liye.
"Yes, master."
The owner of that mory replied to the old man while bowing.
That fragnt of mory lasted more than others, and Yale couldn’t avoid rembering Swordmad when seeing the master-disciple relationship in that fragnt of mory.
Yale felt imrsed in that fragnt of mory to the point that the stream of new mories had stopped, and Yale continued seeing that life from the point of view from that Liye. It felt like being completely imrsed reading a book while self-substituting with the main character.
That Liye was unable to train and had been considered trash by everyone. It was only that old man who thought that despite being unable to train, he wasn’t useless.
As ti passed, the story showed that the old man was right. That Liye was still a weakling, but he gathered a lot of knowledge, and even other disciples from the old man went to ask him when they have doubts about training.
Although he was unable to train, he turned into a true master regarding the theory and turned almost as famous as his own master.
He had a lot of disciples, and each of them was far stronger than him, but everyone respected him a lot, and anyone who dared to offend him would face an army of angry and powerful disciples.
That Liye was getting old due to being unable to increase his lifespan through training, and even the special resourced to increase his lifespan had his disciples obtained expending all their wealth weren’t enough to increase it more.
At that mont, the Liye in the mories had already lived more than two hundred years, and he announced that he would die after being three hundred, which for his disciples felt too short, but for a mortal to live three hundred years it was already a lot.
The years continued to pass in the mory, and Liye was already on his death bed looking like an old man who would die at any mont.
All his disciples had gone to say Liye farewell, an even the big room where he was lying down wasn’t enough to fit them all.
While they were entering and leaving to let space to others, there was soone who remained at Liye’s side the whole ti, that was Liye’s master.
"It is truly a pity. You have been my best disciple, but fate is too cruel by forbidding you to train and forcing you to die so young."
No one knew that age of that old man, but it was clear that he had lived enough to consider that three hundred years was a short span of ti.
"Master, don’t worry for . I have no more regrets. I would hope to et you again in my next life, but I know that it can’t happen."
No one seed to understand the aning of Liye’s words, but since reincarnation was sothing that no one had confird in their world and was still a guess, they didn’t overthink about it.
After saying those words, the Liye from that mory died, but the mory didn’t end, and a different person appeared in a place that had no relationship with the previous one.
"So, this is the next trial. I know this all is just fake, but I will never forget what I learned there."
After hearing those words, sothing stroked Yale’s mind as he had a realization.
"Why I am such a fool. Those mories are all mine. Those are the mories from the Life and Death Trials! That fragnt just now was about the trial who originated the na that I used in my past life when taking disciples."
Yale could understand why using that na for such purpose because he could feel the deep impact that the trial had on him.
"I won’t reject those mories anymore, nor I will fear them. It is my sin to forget about everything and think only about my present life."
At that mont, mories flowed nonstop towards Yale’s consciousness, but that ti he didn’t feel any pain despite recovering all the mories from the Life and Death Trials. Yale had accepted them together with all the ti he lived in those mories.
"Swordmad is dead, but there is a still a chance of his soul having survived. Wyba and Aiwai are in great danger, but not dead yet! The rest disappeared in the space rippled, but they could still be alive, maybe they need my help. Instead of drifting endlessly in this place, I must return!"
The darkness surrounding Yale didn’t disappear after his mind stopped hesitating, but a body ford around his consciousness giving him the capability to move freely in the darkness. That was a body ford from Yale’s will, the only type of body that could exist in that dark space.
"Congratulations from escaping from the ocean of mories! It would have been too weird for if the owner of one of the five pieces of my inheritance disappeared there. Welco to the Tiless Border!"
