Divine Emperor of Death

"You fail."

Davis and Ellia then saw a Level Seven Immortal clench his teeth as he stood up and left without looking back. They could see his frustration and reluctance as his figure disappeared behind the tall walls.

'I heard that the one's prowess should be at least two levels higher to become an outer disciple… that means he didn't meet the mark.'

Davis guessed, but he also learned that immortals of all levels could come to the Aurora Cloud Gate to join.

Indeed, they didn't necessarily have to be strong as they could become workers, but they wouldn't have the same status as the disciples and would have most of the work delegated to them. Still, the pay was good, so there were some people who were satisfied with it.

Ellia was quickly bored and wanted to rush him through. She had the status to do so. However, Davis shook his head. He still wanted to see what was going on with Flamerose and Frostrose. How they interacted and how much they could remember, although it didn't seem like they even remembered a bit even after the meeting.

Just how strong was the alteration to their memories? Was it a good thing or a bad thing?

Davis didn't know, but he still felt some guilt over it regardless. The twin sisters who shared a similar fate and chose to sacrifice themselves for their true clan and even chose the same inheritor, how could they be forced to quibble and fight like that?

It left a bad taste in his heart as he was the one who revived them.

Soon, it was Mistress Zahara's turn. She stepped up to the platform and raised her hand, revealing a greenish-purple badge that had the words' recruitment' etched on it.

"Miss Kaiyua invited me to join the Aurora Cloud Gate."

"So it's Mistress Zahara."

An Immortal King abruptly spoke up in a lenient tone as he smiled, "I've heard about your fair and mighty name. Please register yourself in the artifact kept in the New Disciple Hall. It's right in that direction."

He pointed in a genial manner, causing Mistress Zahara to nod and skip the battle formation.

Davis was flabbergasted at this scene, not at the trial but at the Immortal King. He also lacked a cloud in his emblem while only possessing the azure gate, meaning that he was a worker.

'No, Ellia said that Immortal Kings without a cloud in their emblems are deacons… so these Immortal Kings are of the Recruitment Department…?'

Davis couldn't help but ask Ellia about the inner workings of the Aurora Cloud Gate again.

Meanwhile, the same occurred to Frostrose, or rather Mistress Yeyin, who seemed to be invited by someone else.

Davis wondered if those two individuals had anything to with their altered memories, but before he could think more, it was his turn as he was right behind Frostrose.

Flamerose also noticed him but didn't talk to him because turning in his direction would mean meeting with Frostrose.

Meanwhile, it was Asra who gawked at him as she waited outside.

She recognized Ellia's status as a true disciple, wondering how, under the heavens, this Feng Chu managed to grab her from nowhere. He was even holding her hands!

Was this supposed to be his wife Daisy, or was he cheating? Perhaps, he had lied to them and baited them here?

Many thoughts ran in her head but seeing him walk up to the platform and display the same recruitment order, she inwardly sighed, thinking that she had thought too much.

The Immortal Kings also couldn't help but frown, both at the toad grabbing the beauty and the recruitment badge in his hands. There was little possibility that three recruitment badges could appear at the same time. Just as they thought that he had somehow seduced one of their heavenly beauties into recruiting him, they saw him open his mouth.

"I was invited by a Level Nine Blue Luan Immortal of the Aurora Cloud Gate."

"You are Feng Chu?"

Instantly, that genial old-looking man who sent Flamerose and Frostrose on their way couldn't help but utter. In his hand was a jade stone. It seemed to have compiled all, if not most, information on recruitment orders.

Davis blinked before he nodded his head twice.

"Good. Go to register yourself in the artifact pointed out previously."

"That's it?" Davis raised his brows.

No one was going to confirm his identity? Frostrose and Flamerose had their entourage, while he had none other than Ellia but gave another recruitment badge which was still suspicious.

More than anything, he was suspicious as this was too smooth.

"Well, it says here that there's a possibility that you could become a heavenly genius. That's enough for you to be exempt from this prowess testing formation. If the one who recommended you is wrong, naturally they'll pay for it through various means like losing contribution points, reputation, and whatnot."

The deacon laughed and hurried him to move on. The others also relaxed their expressions.

Could become a heavenly genius? In that case, it was no wonder the true disciple beauty allowed him to hold her hands. They were almost made to be.

Davis nodded slightly before he left to register himself. Ellia also followed him, and no one stopped her.

Soon, he arrived before a huge sword that seemed to have pierced a humongous azure gate. It held the very meaning of subduing the Aurora Cloud Gate, one that should be immensely offensive to the people here. However, it was the symbol of the Law Enforcement Department.

Davis knew that this was not the true artifact that Ellia had told him about. Nonetheless, he walked into the altar, and a projection appeared before him.

[

True Name:

True Origin:

There were only two columns, but it caused Davis to smile wryly. Just as he was about to fill in, the huge sword rumbled, giving forth a burst of light that suddenly caused him to flinch in retreat, becoming cautious.

However, nothing happened.

Just as he was about to try again, an elder appeared in front of him with old white hair. His gaze was deep and profound, causing shivers to surge in Davis's spine as he felt an unprecedented amount of danger trigger his soul's instincts.

"Hmm… an appearance of a Divergent. No wonder the sword activated…."

"…"

Even after hearing a sigh, Davis could not move, somehow knowing he was in the presence of an Immortal Emperor as he could sense nothing from the other party.
