Divine Emperor of Death

Fortunately, Davis Loret was indeed Tian Long's next incarnation. Otherwise, the result wouldn't have come out positive. He was not kicked out, nor did any untoward thing happen after the formation activated. The flash of blue light obviously meant that his soul contained the similarities; that he was undoubtedly an Alstreim not only at the level of the blood but also at the level of the soul.

His own soul, which is Tian Long's soul, possibly couldn't have a relation to the Alstreim Family. Only Davis Loret's soul has a relation to the Alstreim Family. However, he was not aware of what happened to it when he possessed this body with the help of Fallen Heaven, whether it had disappeared or assimilated into him, at least until now, where it became apparent.

It became clear!

Davis Loret's soul had indeed assimilated into him, and what's more? It seemed to have flawlessly fused into his soul. His current soul was an amalgamation of both souls. Otherwise, the result of this Soul-Bloodline Chamber wouldn't have come out positive, and he would have been kicked out as Ancestor Dian Alstreim said before.

In his knowledge, souls usually wouldn't fuse flawlessly, but the fact that it did only meant that they, Davis Loret and Tian Long, were from a single source. If they weren't from a single source, then it is unthinkable for their souls to fuse together without any problems, unless there was an external interference, like Fallen Heaven's power.

However, Fallen Heaven didn't seem to have such power as fusing souls from what he had seen so far, and neither did the Transmigration Stone. Thus, the only conclusion he could reach was that his soul and Davis Loret's soul possessed the same source, becoming capable of fusing together.

Davis turned to look at Ancestor Dian Alstreim with a pleased smile on his face. In one way, he wanted to thank Ancestor Dian Alstreim for bringing him to this place.

Perhaps, Ancestor Dian Alstreim has his own thoughts about him and wanted to confirm that he was not an old monster, but in the end, it helped him realize that he was truly both Tian Long and Davis Loret and that it was not just a hopeful conclusion on his part from the evidence that he had gathered so far.

It was not a delusion! He was truly Logan and Claire's son!

His soul seemed to be screaming from delight after learning this fact because it meant all the relationships he had built up to now weren't fake! It was genuine and extremely real as it could get!

Davis and Ancestor Dian Alstreim slowly seemed to come out of their reveries. It was clear as to what Ancestor Dian Alstreim was thinking to Davis as he could see the big and content smile on his pale face.

"By the way, why did you bother putting up your soul essence in the Soul-Bloodline Chamber when I heard that you don't even have descendants?"

"..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim went blank before black lines filled his face, "It is something all Ancestors and exceptional Grand Elders who have reached the age of ten thousand years are required to do..."

He clenched his teeth as he spat out those words.

Davis walked out of the altar.

"Unexpected..." He chuckled, "Despite how sensible and carefree you are, you still follow these lousy rules set up by your predecessors."

"And you possess a flippant attitude towards me." Ancestor Dian Alstreim scoffed, "Is that the attitude you show towards your Ancestor?"

"What Ancestor?" Davis sneered, "When my mother suffered in this place, why weren't you there to help?"

"You have the face to claim that you are the Ancestor in front of me?"

"I..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim was suddenly at a loss for words.

There were many excuses he could give but looking at Davis's serious expression that kept irking him, he was unable to justify himself.

"Respect is earned, not given. As the Family's Ancestor, you might have earned millions of respect from the Alstreim Family, but I was born into the Loret Family and used their resources to grow up. You have done nothing for me or my mother and her father, so don't ask me to call you Ancestor as it is beyond shameless. If you want me to call you Ancestor, then earn it with your actions!"

"Your loyalty lies with the Loret's?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows.

He was aware that Claire's husband should be that Logan and Davis's full name was Davis Loret. From this, he could infer that Logan's full name should be Logan Loret. However, he didn't know what kind of family the Loret Family was, nor did he know about the extent of their power.

Besides, he was fairly curious since the Loret Family seemed to be a major power from the Forsaken Phoenix Realm by the sound of it.

"Heh! Don't be foolish." Davis sneered, "My loyalty isn't to anyone other than my loved ones. As for characters like Ancestors or even the illusive heavens, I don't give a fuck."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim wryly chuckled on hearing the immensely arrogant tone. He didn't take offense towards Davis's rudeness.

He didn't find Davis's arrogance to be overbearing because he felt that Davis did indeed have the aptitude and talent to stand at the top of the Fifty-Two Territories! Instead, he would find it odd if such a person was humble.

If Davis was humble, he would've suspected that Davis was scheming something instead. The fact that this brat was straightforward and willing to offend him, an Ancestor-level character without displaying an ounce of fear on his face, was to his liking as well. He felt that he didn't have to be overly wary of schemes this way.

"As long as you're not loyal to another power, I am relieved." Ancestor Dian Alstreim revealed his thoughts.

"Since you've been straightforward with me, I'll be the same. I want you to join the Alstreim Family and become the Patriarch within a few decades. This can be done as soon as you reach the Eighth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation, Law Sea Stage. You're a talent who is capable of manifesting a Superior Law Manifestation and when you reach the peak of Law Sea Stage, although the difficulty to condense a Law Rune will enormously grow and will be even more difficult then what I encountered, if you successfully become a Ninth Stage Powerhouse, then I muse that you will be able to easily defeat me upon breakthrough!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim passionately spoke, but it didn't end.

"You're also an immensely powerful Soul Forging Cultivator who is at the Supreme Soul Stage, stronger than your father who is at the Elder Soul Stage. What's more, I muse that you also practice tri-cultivation, so your Body Tempering Cultivation shouldn't be any less than your Essence Gathering Cultivation because of the nectar you or the Conferred Queen Isabella possess."

"Your tri-cultivation itself leaves no questions to be asked to your succession. No one would doubt your integrity and don't have the right to speak a word against you when you step up as the Patriarch. If they do, I would have no choice to step in and correct their views."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim amicably smiled at Davis, who seemed to be taken aback by all he uttered.
