414 Upgraded Sword (1/2)

The process to upgrade the Space-time Judgement Sword was slow from a general perspective, but in fact, it was far quicker than it should be upgrading a sword of that level.

If Yale was conscious, he would just upgrade it a bit and wouldn't dare to do great changes but while in his enlightenment state, he had no restriction.

The materials of the sword were unable to keep up with the upgrade process, so the sword should break at any moment, or at least that was what common sense said.

However, Yale managed to find a perfect balance to increase the resilience of the sword each time the materials reached the limit. It was a work that should be done in milliseconds despite being a lot of factors to take into consideration when doing it.

The only ways to accomplish something like that was being like Yale, in enlightenment state with the Celestial Knowledge activated or by being used enough to the process being done unconsciously.

Of course, that was speaking from the perspective of an Essence God because those stronger wouldn't have that much problem controlling the essences to improve a weapon to the Essence God level.

However, weapons at an Essence God level were already the strongest weapons crafted in the universe and at the same time, it was impossible to continue training blacksmithing past the Essence God level.

That was one of the main weaknesses of Yale's universe, and one of the main reasons for their war against the other universe in conflict with them was so difficult to settle.

The other universe was far older than their own, and although their knowledge couldn't compare to that of the ones in Tofesh's universe, it was still far better than in Yale's universe.

The other main problem was that there was only a standardized path until Origin God and surpassing that level was far too difficult, but the other universe had a path that reached that higher level, so although there weren't a lot of people at such level, they outnumbered the ones in Yale's universe.

The Origin Path was flawed. It was the main path designed by the universe creator to those who were born in his universe, but he didn't train it since he wasn't born there.

Of course, he knew that the path was flawed, but he was unable to design something better.

There hadn't been a shortage of experts who tried to fix those flaws, but the only one who managed to make a breakthrough differentiating himself from the Origin Path was the Battle God. However, he was struck at that level afterward unable to advance.

The information sent by Tofesh could fix the first flaw regarding weapons. As long as Yale practiced enough, he would be able to make weapons at a higher level.

However, the most important problem to solve was that of the Origin Path. The weapons were important because they would create a difference when both parties had similar power, but Yale's universe lacked people with the same power as the other universe.

Yale had been pondering about of following the Origin Path or not after learning about his grandfather and noticing that the Origin Path wasn't perfect, but he never thought of following his grandfather's path because it was also clearly flawed.

Although Yale wanted to create his own Path, he lacked the capability to do it. If creating a new Path was something easy, there wouldn't be only one person who had managed to do it.

However, while improving the sword, Yale's mind started to extrapolate ideas that seemed feasible to form a new Path. It was barely an outline, and it was difficult to say if it could be developed later on or not, but it was a great advancement.

Of course, Yale was still unconscious about that fact since he was still immersed in enlightenment while improving his sword, but he would remember everything after the enlightenment ended.

In fact, although Yale created just an outline of a new path and it was useless, it triggered a strange reaction of the Origin Path. The Origin Path inside Yale's soul had duplicated, and there were two identical Origin Paths inside his soul.

That was a reaction that could happen to those with an Origin Path, but the chances of happening were minimal. Besides asking someone at the level of the universe creator to create a new Origin Path, that was the only way to create one to give to someone else.

It was useless having two Origin Paths since there wasn't any increase in power just for that reason, but it was possible to use one to experiment creating a whole new Path without risking the one that was in use.
