Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2283 suspicious Activity

Ancestor Cornelia's enraged gaze fell on Founder Alstreim Windstorm.

On the other hand, Davis inwardly gawked at the naivety of Founder Alstreim Windstorm when it came to women. Even he knew what that sentence signified, so before things could get ugly, he hurriedly eyed Lea.

"Ancestor…" Lea quickly held Ancestor Cornelia's arm as though she was getting affectionate so as to not attract attention. Her actions caused Ancestor Cornelia to furrow her sharp brows before she relaxed, knowing that it was not good to act out in this location where the entire Fifty-Two Territories was watching.

Moreover, it wasn't like she could teach Founder Alstreim Windstorm a lesson even if she wanted to. Therefore, she calmed herself, but realizing that Lea was still holding her, she couldn't help but ask.

"What is it, Lea?"

Lea had her gaze down, "I understand your deep emotions towards the sect, Ancestor. However, our sect's talents have already entered the Ninth Stage and will approach their peak within a few years, especially when resources have already poured in and immortal energy is booming. In this time of harmony, no one would dare to touch our Burning Phoenix Ridge."

Ancestor Cornelia's brows frowned at Lea's pause, feeling the direction this conversation was moving ahead was almost similar to…

She inwardly shook her head and moved her lips, "So…?"

"I wish Ancestor to follow me into the First Haven World."

"You!-"

Lea didn't hesitate, "I want Ancestor to see and name my child!"

"Lea, you…"

Ancestor Cornelia became shocked as Lea held her arm firmly. Was Lea pregnant with Davis's child?

However, Lea shook her head, "No matter how many years it might take, a hundred or a thousand, I still want Ancestor by my side regardless."

She raised her head and glared at Founder Alstreim Windstorm, "I don't know about him, but be with me! I'll take care of Ancestor!"

Ancestor Cornelia became dumbfounded at Lea's plea. She initially thought Lea was going to support Founder Alstreim Windstorm, but it seemed like she was overthinking it.

"Foolish child…" A wry smile couldn't help but appear on her wrinkled face before she shook her head, "Back then, I held reverence for the upper plane, wanting to see how good life would be after ascension. Even if I want to come, there are still a lot of things to do back in the sect that may take some time. Let me think about it."

"Ancestor…" Lea's crimson eyes glowed with happiness.

Doesn't this mean that Ancestor Cornelia was almost agreeable to accompanying her to the First Haven World?

Although Davis said for her to convince Ancestor Cornelia, she was doing this out of her own will as she desired the other important person who made it possible for her to be with Davis to stay with her. Ancestor Cornelia was no different than a motherly figure to her, so she was truly overjoyed.

But she didn't make a commotion out of it.

Soon, Ancestor Cornelia and Lea returned, while Davis gave a sly glance at Founder Alstreim Windstorm. However, the latter sighed, his expression appearing a bit downcast as he shook his head.

Nonetheless, the one hour Davis gave to the new races was up and even a Blood Soul Contract was readily brought, which would be signed by the apex powerhouses and the upcoming heads of the respective powers to uphold the peace of the continent with many conditions interlaced, all mostly appearing reasonable.

It was truly a huge Blood Soul Contract, causing Davis's eyes to twitch as he looked at a monument on the other side of the entrance to the summit, revealed upon taking off the sheet covering it.

Everyone was astonished, thinking that it was just unfinished construction work remaining for the summit, but never did they expect that it was actually a Blood Soul Contract.

This unification treaty was apparently going to be signed on a monument wreathed with karmic energy, a handiwork of the Karmic Guardian Emperor and his sect's elders, making Davis think that they came prepared after all. However, the conditions imposed on the parties were all laboriously imprinted for a few more minutes before all the hegemons nodded with satisfaction, looking at their first work done together.

But instead of signing it, the apex powerhouses all turned around, approached him, and cupped their hands after arriving before him.

"Emperor of Death, please be the first one to sign the Grand Beginnings Continent's first treaty, marking the first day of the new era; the Alstreim Era!"

"…!"

Davis became shocked, his gaze reaching towards the Blood Soul Contract Monument where the Alstreim Family's name was added by Ancestor Dian Alstreim before he turned to look at him, nodding with a bright smile on his face.

However, Davis simply blinked at the group of apex powerhouses in front of him.

"Whose idea was this?"

"Mine." The Mandate Emperor proudly uttered, causing Davis's expression to relax.

By naming the new era the Alstreim Era, it essentially creates a true hegemonic presence for the Alstreim Family people. In other words, if something big wants to happen in the Grand Beginnings Continent, then it must go through the Alstreim Family. Following that logic, if some youngsters wanted to change the era, they must overthrow the Alstreim Family.

Davis couldn't help but smirk.

If he didn't know the Mandate Emperor, he would have really thought that the other party was trying to scheme against him. Accurately, not him, but the Alstreim Family after he left. But since Ancestor Dian Alstreim, that overthinker, would've also thought of this yet still gave in to this temptation of supremacy in pride while even the Founder looked a bit excited, Davis nodded his head.

"Alright, I'll sign my title and name first."

"Yes, at the very top…!"

The Mandate Emperor excitedly led Davis, causing the latter to wonder if the Mandate Emperor hit his head somewhere or if his status had just changed, improving that much in such a short time? Secretly activating Enigmatic Heart Intent, Davis learned that the Mandate Emperor was full of gratitude and reverential emotions towards him like most here, but there seemed to be something strange, an emotion that was looking forward to something.

Davis felt that this emotion of expectation itself was not strange, but it was directed towards him instead of the treaty, making him wonder if he had become a monumental figure in everyone's gaze.

Nonetheless, he paid it no heed after arriving in front of the monument. He gave it a good look, verifying the statements and conditions with his own eyes for a while in silence. No one disturbed him before he finally gave a heavy nod.

Under the billions of gazes watching him, Davis raised his right hand towards the Blood Soul Contract Monument, soul force churning out of his finger.

"Wait!"

However, before he could sign it, the Mandate Emperor stopped him, causing him to frown.

"What?"

He glanced at the Mandate Emperor but noticed that something fishy was going on around him as everyone else was also strangely excited.

'This is…'

His eyes narrowed, wondering if this had anything to do with Fraser Herrion's Malediction Laws, when abruptly a projection appeared in the skies, its clear sound and imagery being played out.
