Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3348 Saintess's Palace

Davis headed to the teleportation formation, which led to Saintess Lunaria's palace.

He was unimpeded in his path no matter where he went, as his infamy knew no bounds. Even if someone didn't recognize them due to being secluded for the past decade, which wasn't anything rare as Elders tended to seclude themselves for decades, they didn't dare to be near him because they saw the other people's reaction and knew it wasn't anything good to interact with him.

Just like that, he finally appeared near the teleportation formation and saw Guardian Kalaxis Vain's avatar sleeping before it. He ignored him and accessed the teleportation, appearing in Saintess Lunaria's Palace.

Davis came out of the teleportation room and walked out of the palace, looking at the serene and majestic garden of Saintess Lunaria, teeming with life as magical beasts as big as an Immortal Emperor Grade Dragon played like they were domestic animals.

He threw his soul essence around, wanting to find Lea and Calypsea, and managed to spot them a few kilometers away, but he hesitated to go as he saw that they were involved in some kind of ritual with a lot of formations places around them.

Perhaps they were in the process of bonding, so he didn't want to go near and disturb them.

They still didn't notice him even though Calypsea could easily tell who he was with his aura alone. The fact that she couldn't tell meant she was involved in that ritual deeply, so if he went and disturbed their bonding, that wouldn't be good or might even be fatal for Lea as he could sense that she was still an Immortal King.

He inwardly sighed in relief, knowing that he wasn't late to imbue karmic virtue in her.

He went back to the palace and made his way to the upper floors, but halfway through, a white-robed man with a scholarly appearance stood in the air. He took a step forward and shuttled across the air, appearing before him in a flash.

"Guardian Ryheris Yilan, good to see you again. I wasn't able to talk to you during the marriage because I had unavoidable responsibilities. You have my gratitude for saving Isabella and my family from the Accursed Warlock back then."

"Haha."

Guardian Ryheris Yilan laughed lightly upon seeing Davis cup his hand towards him in respect, causing him to nod.

"Junior disciple Davis does have the heart to care about the ever-changing hearts of women that even Guardian Elysian and I are unable to comprehend after living so long, but it was nothing. As a Guardian of the Aurora Cloud Gate's Administration Department, it is also my responsibility to vanquish outsiders, especially the ones with ill intentions."

He replied cordially, causing Davis to feel some guilt as his smile lightly faded.

He let this person's personal disciple die back in the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm, not that he had any chance to save Orion Chestwave as he had gone separate ways.

"Have you come here to pay respects to the Saintess?"

"Yes." Davis nodded, "Can I know where the Saintess is?"

"She is in the upper floors. The Guardians and I had just left from a meeting with the Saintess, so if you go now, you still might be able to see her."

"Many thanks for the directions."

"I hope you don't overstay, or else I'm the one who would come to warn you considering my position as the Guardian of the Administration Department."

Guardian Ryheris Yilan laughed lightly as though he didn't want to offend the Emperor of death, causing Davis to shake his head.

"I will leave tomorrow and ready my new mansion to welcome my family. Feel free to drop by anytime if you want to taste high-quality meat that you won't get your hands on easily. You all have my gratitude for accommodating my calamitous presence."

"Don't mention it. As Divergents, we should be of help to each other without interfering much. This is difficult to achieve, so we could only go with the flow as we believe in Saintess's teachings and decisions."

Guardian Ryheris Yilan and Davis smiled, the latter inwardly sighing, wondering how wonderful it would be if Orion Chestwave was as pleasant to talk to as his master.

"Are you not going to ask about your personal disciple?"

Nonetheless, Davis asked as he couldn't irk the responsibility of saving a fellow disciple in danger. Besides, he would rather talk about it and make it clear rather than let awkwardness and miscommunication remain.

"The investigations already proved that you had nothing to do with my personal disciple Orion Chestwave's death."

Guardian Ryheris Yilan's expression slightly wilted, but he shook his head, "As I said before, we could only go along with the flow. My personal disciple chose to step out of your group because of his arrogance and ended up battling an existence he couldn't defeat and was purged."

He looked away, lightly sighing, "A life of a Divergent is like that, always on the precipice of getting purged just because the heavens despise us. Although I am saddened, Orion Chestwave isn't the first disciple I lost. Over time, we Guardians have collectively lost hundreds and mourned for them, was joyful for them when they successfully reached the peak and ascended."

"If it weren't for the Saintess's teachings, I doubt we would've been able to survive for this long."

"I'm sorry for the loss." Davis lowered his head.

He suddenly thought about Vereina, whom he coldly brushed away because she was pining on him for resources and protection and only had air to back up her statements of being useful to him.

The life of a Divergent was filled with tumultuous struggles and… loneliness.

From what he heard, even the seven Guardians of the Aurora Cloud Gate rarely met so as not to create a point of divergence that would usually invoke calamities from what he knew so far through his own experiences.

"Nonetheless, go see the Saintess quickly, or you might miss her. If I have time, I will drop by your new home and let me hear about the so-called heavenly geniuses who were too powerful for my personal disciple to win against."

"Of course. I would be waiting."

Davis cupped his hands once and more and walked past Guardian Ryheris Yilan, heading towards the upper floors.

Halfway through, he also met with Guardian Elysian Veritas, who asked about his personal disciple Maximus Wolfbane and was lightly hounded by Guardian Zera Nullheart due to her physique, which caused her mood to swing to the extremes before she apologized again.

"The Realm Pill Concoction must've ended a few days ago, so if you say your personal disciple Maximus Wolfbane's life crystal is still intact, then the connection must be delayed, or he found a way to leave the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm safely."

This was what Davis said, and Guardian Elysian Veritas accepted his reasoning and later also made a visit request, wanting to know more about the true immortal world.

Davis was not surprised, considering the Guardians all wanted to ascend, including Saintess Lunaria, for fear that this world would collapse after the Candidacy, but Davis didn't say anything that this world, this small universe, might remain, but the Will might not be present as the World Master's soul was ailing.

For all he knew, there would be no protection here, and this place might turn like the Dark Universe, also known as the Primeval Universe Ruins, from which Vacuous Beasts originated.

Besides, this matter concerned the World Master's secrets, so he knew he couldn't talk about this to others or get a high chance of being evicted with a single snap of her finger as he had the World Master's teleportation rune inscribed in his body.

Soon, he appeared before the chamber where he first met Saintess Lunaria.

The door was wide open as though awaiting him, allowing him to walk through it as he saw the cascading stairs of flowing water filled with immense heaven and earth energy with life.

"Master~"

A lovely voice filled with longing echoed.

An azure-white fox jumped out from the chamber behind the curtains and spread her wings. Her tails rose in the air as they beautifully unfolded like they were ready to dance. However, her figure rapidly turned small before she landed on his shoulder and wrapped her tails around his neck, licking his face without so much passion.

"Ah~ Are you already back to take my little Everlight? The Emperor of Death— is— heartless."

Saintess Lunaria's melodious voice echoed as she stepped out and sat on Shimei's back.

Her exquisite figure seated on top of the Nine Lives Gracious Fox was like a scene out of the legends, like a fairy descending from the immortal world.

Davis caressed Everlight's head before he looked at Saintess Lunaria, finding himself looking at her longer than he needed to before he turned around and kissed Everlight's forehead as he rubbed her back once again, and her little eyes teared up.

Once Everlight's emotions calmed down as though she verified that Davis still cared about her and didn't think of leaving her all alone, Davis cupped his hands towards Saintess Lunaria, who descended from Shimei.

"If Saintess wants to spend more time with Everlight, I'm not opposed to it, but as I said, I'm here to return the favor. The gifts you handpicked for Zestria and Bylai were so good that I was forced to come here without wasting a single second."

"Oh?" Saintess Lunaria raised one of her brows, seemingly satisfied, "I thought you wouldn't find them amusing since you would've obtained better resources in the true immortal world."

"How can those compare to the resources that could directly increase their prowess?"

Davis shook his head, "I couldn't believe you gifted us the Dragonfire Valor Flower and Gilded Goldscale Shard, resources that allow a Fire Dragon and Golden Dragon to enter King-Tier, and their potency is also high, which means there's a high chance that these magical beasts can step into King-Tier and increases prowess even when used on humans with such blood."
