Chapter 388 Missing Friends
Yale was walking alone while frowning after noticing the weird situation.
After starting to travel alone, he tried to use his Spiritual Sense to detect the presence of his friends, but he failed and didn't detect anyone.
Yale's Spiritual Sense could cover a large area, and not even a Law God would be able to detect it given that Yale used the Origin Path and was also a Timeless Sovereign.
However, the fact that others couldn't detect Yale didn't mean that couldn't hide from him, and that situation seemed like that.
Yale could understand that the groups that he failed to detect those who were under the protection of those three who rescued them even before Yale' changed the past.
There wasn't any problem with that as it would be safer for them and Yale didn't need to worry for them, but he was worried by the others. Although everyone was alive when Yale changed the past, there was still a chance that they were in a dire situation, and the fact that he couldn't detect them, only made that Yale worried even more.
Of course, they could have gone to other kingdoms, but Yale felt that no one would have traveled long distances with the Death God around.
The Death God was a calamity that destroyed everything without regarding anything else, and travelers were the ones with the highest chances of suffering without reason.
If Yale's friends hadn't noticed that Yale was the Death God, there was no way that they risked their lives traveling across countries which were the most dangerous action. After all, the biggest countries like the Dwarf Kingdom proved to be the safest, while the small ones and the areas between countries suffered the most.
On the other hand, if they knew that Yale was the Death God, Yale felt that they would have tried to go near him or wait for Yale to look for them.
Thus, Yale felt strange that at least Shirk and Driwna weren't in the Dwarf Kingdom.
Yale thought about the reasons for them being in hiding. It was possible that someone helped them to hide because they were in danger, but besides those three, Yale couldn't think of someone acting so selflessly to help them.
However, those three would have been able to gather everyone if they wanted, and in such case, they could have just gone to meet Yale directly after he returned to his senses, which showed that they most likely hadn't acted like that.
Another option was that they had been captured by an enemy and that the place where they were captive was protected against Spiritual Sense.
As for who could be that enemy, Yale still remembered that there was an enemy of him hidden in the western continent, the ones who were behind the actions of the True Empire in the eastern continent.
Although they didn't act openly and no one seemed to know about them, Yale was sure that they were lurking from the shadows.
Of course, Yale doesn't have any proof that the True Empire was involved with their disappearance, but he was just considering the worst option.
It was also possible that they had found a place like the Special Realm where it was impossible to trace them from outside, and it that case Yale would have been worrying too much without reason and it would have turned into a good stroke of luck for them.
"What should I do?"
Yale felt a bit lost in his immediate objective since he couldn't discover anything more with his current Spiritual Sense. After all, despite having quite a special Spiritual Sense, his soul was in a weakened state, and his Spiritual Sense was weaker than it should be despite being unable to be detected by others.
The state of Yale's soul improved after mastering all the Laws related to the Battle God, but that wasn't enough to make his soul recover completely. If it weren't because Yale's soul was in a weakened state, he would have already become a Law Master in all of them.
The Water Law had also progressed a lot, but Yale had yet to reach the mastery in it. After all, Yale's knowledge of the battle-focused Laws was incredibly high due to his experience battling with the Battle God in the Timeless Border, so it wasn't surprising that he mastered them without too much difficulty, but for the Water Law, his only help was the Time Freezing Wolf Bloodline.
As for the Fire Law, which he also used when teaching others, the progress was far slower since he didn't have any related bloodline, nor an amazing experience with it.
After all, Yale couldn't use the Laws that Ronragruk put on the Storage Space; he only regained the knowledge of them form his past life.
Although it was true that training inside the Storage Space would improve his speed in those Laws, the effects weren't high compared to a bloodline or a Condensed Essence.
Liye had just focused too little on the elemental laws, so even though he had some knowledge of them, it was still far lacking to reach mastery.
As for the Wind Law and the Earth Law, his knowledge was so little that even the Last Wish System omitted it. The Main menu only showed Laws that reached the first threshold; less comprehension would be omitted and would only appear at the old Authority Menu.
If it wasn't for that, Liye could have created a bigger area for Aiwai to live, but since Liye never tried to train actively in any Law that wasn't of his main ones, his accomplishment wasn't high in the laws that he lacked talent.
In fact, Yale's talent in earth and wind improved from his previous life. The same applied to the Water Law since Liye didn't have any bloodline for it, although his talent wasn't bad at all, it was still lower than Yale's one.
Those improvements were the most notorious, but in general Yale's potential far surpassed that of Liye by far, and after recovering the memories and unlocking the Celestial Knowledge, the difference turned even bigger.
Yale sighed when looking to the Main Menu, as despite the improvements he had, he still felt that his speed was far too slow.

[Objectives: Find all those who fell into the space ripples. Rescue father.]
Most people on Yale's world would die from happiness if they had a system that told that same information, but Yale had his gaze fixed in the second objective shown on the Main Menu and to rescue his father, his strength was far too lacking.
Yale was immersed in his thoughts when he detected something. It wasn't with his Spiritual Sense but from his soul.
"Aiwai has mastered the Water Law."
The souls of Aiwai and Wyba were linked to Yale's soul, so Yale could perfectly sense when one of their souls suffered a great change as it happened after mastering a Law.
An Essence God may block their presence and prevent Yale from detecting them through Spiritual Sense, but there was no way to cut the connection between their soul.
Of course, Yale didn't think that the block to Spiritual Sense was meant for him, but to prevent that the experts from the western continent detected them. However, since Yale also felt that they were in an area without other people, it would also be difficult for them to notice when Yale returned.
The Essence God with Aiwai and Wyba might have noticed it, but it seemed obvious that she and the other two who helped Yale didn't plan to look for Yale actively.
Due to how the Fake Origin Path worked, it should be impossible for Aiwai to surpass Yale's level, but Yale felt that she truly became a Law Master.
Yale was yet to become a Law Master, but from the information on the system, he guessed that his Origin Path had reached that level, but his soul turned him weaker than he should be.
Moreover, it seemed that the Fake Origin Path took into account the level recognized by the Origin Path and not the one of Yale's power, but Yale felt that it made sense. After all, it would be a problem if someone strong had his level lowered by any reason and everyone who trained a Fake Origin path from that person would end suffering by it.
Liye had already used a shortcut to let Aiwai being at a superior level than Yale the last time he appeared, but that time it was something like cheating, while the current happening was more like a loophole.
"Who cares about the reasons. I already discovered where Aiwai is, and this is the same as knowing where Wyba is. It wasn't my intention looking from them at the start since they are safe, but since I already know their position, there is no way I don't look for them."
Yale rushed to the place where he felt Aiwai's soul. It wasn't a nearby place, but it was still in the Dwarf Kingdom.
