Divine Emperor of Death

Davis's strange words resounded in the Grand Beginnings Continent. The people remained dumbfounded, not understanding why the Emperor of Death would reject the new title that was more majestic and best suited for a hegemon who saves people instead of slaughtering them.

Nonetheless, they didn't receive an answer. They didn't leave either but waited for the projection to display again. Their prayers were answered and the summit became viewable to them, although it took more than half a day. However, they couldn't see the Emperor of Death no matter how they looked, becoming worried for the fate of their powers and the future of the continent.

But, their worries were unfounded.

The hegemonic powers there seemed to have come to a consensus and quickly signed onto the Blood Soul Contract Monument one race after another, followed by the signature of the hegemons.

Many feared that all the races wouldn't be unified over the Emperor of Death's strange actions, but this scene laid their worries to rest. But from this moment onwards, they became aware that they shared profit and danger together as the representatives of the four races courageously gave their speeches and finally ended the summit.

The cheers at that time were as loud as the time they chanted the new title of the Emperor of Death, full of fanfare and banquets.

Like this, the entire Grand Beginnings Continent welcomed a fresh start, although not entirely, as debts and grievances were still yet to be addressed. If lucky, it might be flushed under the rug and forgotten, but if unlucky, it may very well form a crack. But these things were for the future, not at the moment where the joyful infectious atmosphere made everyone feel like there was hope to grow and ascend as long as they worked hard.

It was just a day after the Vacuous Beasts died, but the immortal energy surging in the skies gave birth to many resources, even extinct ones. Moreover, even some Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources began to form, making it so that the continent was flourishing with vitality.

"How marvelous!"

"I still can't believe the Fifty-Two Territories really unified to make a Grand Beginnings Continent…"

Tina Roxley and Dalila Leehan exclaimed and sighed at the change of an era, at the same time turning to look at the person responsible for this change.

"All of this is possible only because of our man." Mingzhi proudly smiled, her words echoing and resonating with the hearts of the others as they all took pride in it.

"My lovely beauties, now that the summit is over, please return to cultivate." Davis took his hand from Natalya's bottom and stood up as he looked around, "Or I might lose control and shamelessly pounce on one or two of you, taking advantage in various ways."

Instantly, the inexperienced ones turned red while the experienced ones shot a challenging smile at him that he had to swallow his own words and leave the palace, otherwise would find himself on a bed wriggling like a snake with a curvaceous body.

He had already told them what took place in vague words so that they don't understand much, but enough to understand that he could survive his heavenly tribulation. After all, he and Myria were just grasping at straws in measuring karmic burden, so he didn't want to burden them accidentally by telling the full story.

Nonetheless, before he dispersed the ladies and left the palace, he told Evelynn to stay.

"What's going on, husband? Do you need my help?"

Evelynn enthusiastically asked with a light smile after everyone left, but Davis blinked, finding something different about her yet couldn't place his finger on it.

"No. We still have something that belongs to you in the Grand Beginnings Continent that remains untouchable."

"Husband, Myria said that's suicide…" Evelynn shook her head, "I don't think we should go."

Davis's brows furrowed. The Evelynn he knew would've screamed out 'no' and told him not to go, but she answered calmly with the same gentleness in her sexy eyes that once seduced him. He couldn't help but brightly smile in response.

"Indeed, I also don't think we should go, but I simply can't stand my Evelynn losing out when it should belong to you as you've passed the trial while risking your own life."

"You-" A healthy blush emerged on Evelynn's cheeks, "You can't convince me like this…"

"Who told you that I'm convincing you? Can't you see that I'm forcing you to come with me?"

Davis grabbed her wrist as he flashed a sly smile, causing Evelynn to think strange things before she harrumphed.

"Do you have a plan? If not, I will not allow you to waste your life on this reckless adventure for me. More than me or anyone else, you have Eterna and Celestia to take care of, so you can't die no matter what!~"

Looking at her adorably overcoming her selfish desires and placing family first, Davis didn't know how many times this Hex Demoness seduced him, causing him to become smitten again.

However, he took his hand from her wrist and held his chin, appearing rather hesitant.

"It can't be said to be a plan but might still work as karmic variables do end up helping or destroying one's life…"

"Meaning?" Evelynn narrowed her brows.

"…!"

Davis waved his hand at her, causing Evelynn to suddenly feel shaken. She felt blazing heat, as though she was enveloped by searing flames. However, it didn't harm her, instead making her feel some warmth while the feeling only stayed for a single moment, almost making her think that it was an illusion before her eyes widened at Davis.

"Don't tell me-"

"That's right."

Davis placed a hand on his lips with a secretive smile, causing Evelynn to become dumbfounded, opening and closing her mouth a few times before she finally nodded her head.

Evelynn found that her figure was wrapped in karmic virtue when she sensed using her hex instincts, the thing she called her spidey senses to detect anything related to karmic activity. Her karmic virtue was bright-gold in color, making her doubt if her vision had gone crazy as she had never seen anything like that, but she could sense that it was three meters in height.

On the other hand, Davis used up three meters of second-tier karmic virtue and karmic sin to bestow on Evelynn the bright gold karmic virtue. As a result, not one bit of his purplish-gold karmic virtue had decreased, but all the karmic sin he possessed, except a single meter of bright red karmic sin, ended up being used because he saved the remaining for an emergency.

He had four meters of bright red karmic sin after plundering wicked path hegemons. As for the wicked path immortals, they had surprisingly fewer, as though it became difficult to kill people and do evil deeds, not amounting to much, although he wondered if they had used them up somehow.

As for using Karmicgrace on himself to survive his heavenly tribulation, what could Davis do with second-tier karmic sin? It clearly wasn't enough, so he felt that it was better used on Evelynn to increase her chances of obtaining what she deserved. He needed more karmic sin for his heavenly tribulation, and for that, he was already of the mind to begin his hunt in the First Haven World.

"This should boost your luck good enough so that the presumed heart demon doesn't appear in that Arachnid Empress to ruin things, so come with me."

Davis reached out his hand as he sent a soul transmission, waiting for Evelynn to take his hand.

Evelynn stared into his sapphire eyes, the confidence in him almost making her go crazy. She suppressed her innate desire to follow her heart as it lay in his grasp, but even then, she thought twice before she took his hand after much contemplation, causing Davis to nod and leave the palace together.

However, shortly before they could leave the Grand Alstreim City, a golden-robed figure audaciously appeared before him and pointed his finger.

"Fuck! The moment I return, you conquered the Fifty-Two Territories and even renamed it? Aren't you too much!?"

"Drake…"

Davis couldn't help but chuckle as he saw his old friend finally return from vacation.

Drake appeared with his bevy of beauties following behind him: Kara, Swansea, Teriyela, Maina, Freya, Xanarea, Jade Sua, Lora Ren, Elayne Bluestone, and Amber Will. Each of them exuded a charming or alluring countenance that could cause countless men to be unable to control their desires.

They hastily clasped hands to greet him while he also returned the clasp with Evelynn, thinking that they were all learned in Charm Laws, causing their auras to also become enticing enough.

Nonetheless, he glared at Drake Blackburn as he quickly realized that this shameless bastard didn't take a vacation. Otherwise, how could his cultivation have reached the Law Rune Stage so quickly? He could even sense that his prowess was anything but ordinary, although his attitude was carefree and unrestrained as ever.

For a moment, he wondered if Drake had taken the primal yin of millions of mortals, but mortals didn't have cultivation, so who was he kidding? The most likely thought was that he had been frolicking with his beauties all day long, but this kind of speed and the potential prowess he sensed considering the time spent was still confusing to him.

'Unless…'

Just as he was about to ask as he derived a few ways, he saw the other party's expression churn with hesitation written all over his face.

Drake's strangeness caused Davis to incline his head.

"What…?"

"I… I think... I accidentally caused the destruction of Earth's sun."

"...!"

Davis almost slipped and plunged to the surface, or at least, he felt like it as he stared at Drake with pure disbelief.
