Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2298 Pathway



Chapter 2298 Pathway

"When will you ascend?

After giving a good look at the people from Planet Earth, Davis turned to look at Drake.

"I don't know." Drake pursed his lips, "I want to have the best results, so in half a century or so, I might ascend."

"So you will protect them for that time?"

Drake wryly shook his head, "Of course not. If people knew that I, your best friend, was protecting a bunch of mortals, things would turn sour for them. I've anonymously paid some compassionate Eighth Stage Experts to protect them for a century, and the official reason I spread to the world is that their mini-realm has collapsed, causing them to be ejected out here through their transportation formation."

"As for the people of the Earth themselves, I've forced them all to sleep before transporting them, so there's no way the cultivators would know where they came from. Moreover, I've brought them here without modern weapons. Those things are useless against cultivators, so I imagined that they would use against each other to cause anarchy and unneeded violence."

"Right, if they pointed their weapons at cultivators, then it's over for them."

Davis nodded at Drake's thorough measures. The effort Drake put into bringing them here was sheer hard work because it was similar to looking after billions of vases that could break at the slightest pressure.

"In any case, no one would bother about mortal empires, but the things they've brought are gaining a bit of attention like mobiles, laptops, and other personal devices containing a lot of information. That might be the cause of their own undoing in the future."

Drake shook his head, causing Davis to chuckle, "Aha, a cultural shock is in store for the Grand Beginnings Continent if those technological things spread..."

"Maybe, but I don't think so. In this prosperous and golden time of cultivation, even the hopeless ones are showing some promise. They would have little time for entertainment or risk falling into the lower hierarchy levels in their respective powers."

Davis nodded to Drake's line of thought, allowing him to see that Drake had really explored the dangers that the people of Earth might face and acted according to deriving the best results he could get for them.

He raised his hand and patted Drake's shoulder, "You've done everything you could after putting them in jeopardy, so the rest is up to them."

"The good news is, there are already Second Stage Cultivators among them from the millions of pills and hundreds of manuals I gifted them as starter packages, including a year's worth of nutritious food, so I don't need to worry that they would stumble in their cultivation path or fail to make a connection with nearby mortal empires in forming trade routes and enjoy growth."

Drake chuckled while Davis nodded. It was the wicked path Territories that had the most mortal empires. Now that the Poison Lord Villa Territory had been cleansed by his Soul Reaper Legion, it had turned prosperous, and now, even the feys were taking residence in this Territory after all the races unified.

His mind wandered, thinking that there would be many men and women of culture in the future in Earth's population.

"Then take care."

"I guess it's time. However, not being able to see Eterna and Celestia is a pity."

"You want to see them?"

*Whoosh!~*

A cute-faced, crimson-haired baby and a purple-haired baby dressed in luxurious clothes appeared out of nowhere. Their cute sapphire eyes blinked before their gazes fell on Davis, causing them to simultaneously reach out their hands towards him as they uttered cute gibberish sounds.

Eterna and Celestia abruptly appeared in Davis's arms, looking like they wanted to play with him, causing Drake to blink.

"You freak… you really got a living space in you? Gosh, I'm envious..."

Drake then took Eterna into his arms as he gently caressed her cute face, instantly wondering when he would have his own children, although he was perfectly aware that when practicing dual cultivation as the main source of energy increase, he couldn't afford to get his wives pregnant as it would waste a year of their prime.

On the other hand, he knew that the mothers of Davis's two daughters were Immortal Inheritors. They had no such restrictions as they had countless resources to help them advance faster with top-level foundations.

"Damn, their vitality is so powerful, brimming with dragon and phoenix undulations. They would grow up to be heavenly beauties as well. I wonder if I can have their hands when-"

"Courting death."

"Ahaha!"

Davis icily uttered, causing Drake to laugh uproariously, "Gosh, you're so protective. I pity their husbands for having an unreasonable and unbeatable father-in-law like you."

"Ahh…" Davis let out an annoyed sigh, "I shouldn't have brought my angels out."

"Don't worry. I promise to protect them like they're my own children when they're in my sight."

"That's reassuring, but are you sure that you can catch up to my daughters' cultivation speed?"

Davis skeptically raised his brows, causing Drake to sneer.

"Tsk, tsk. You look down on me, but I'll show you."

"Then prove it."

Davis and Drake smiled before they bumped fists.

"Don't die."

Drake said before giving back Eterna and pinching Celestia's cute face. The two angels in Davis's arms were full of curiosity as they silently observed their father's friend, not seeming afraid at all. They even looked like they were judging him, causing Drake to cough before he waved his hand at Davis.

"Now go before I call you Divine Emperor of Death."

"Tsk. I can't swear in front of my children."

Davis kissed both his lovely daughters on their cheeks before he sent them back into their mother's embrace.

Soon enough, Drake found himself embedded in a wall as Davis flung him, causing him to crash into a nearby mountain before the latter disappeared. His face remained expressionless before he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Bastard, I'll soon catch up with you and return the favor..."

"I'm eagerly expecting it." A cocky voice sounded out.

"Fuck, you're still here? Show me where you are so that I don't have to wait to return the favor!"

Drake shouted and ended up screaming for more than a minute before he realized that Davis was no longer there.

"Aa-ah… He left…"

Drake shook his head, a dejected gaze appearing in his eyes. His only friend was leaving for the First Haven World, making him feel rather alone that he felt the need to go see his wives, whom he hadn't seen for days due to looking after the people from Earth.

After bidding farewell to Drake, Davis headed towards the Mystic Ice Sect and subsequently headed to the Burning Phoenix Ridge. After that, he headed straight towards the Poison Rift Valley Territory once again.

Evelynn and Myria were together with him at the moment. However, Davis had taken out a messaging talisman as he communicated with someone, but both Evelynn and Myria recognized that voice as the All-Seeing Emperor whom Davis had a business relationship with.

Davis looked at the darkening skies before he opened his mouth.

"It's near to sunset. Report on what happened so far."

"Emperor of Death, my people have been watching the skies as you had requested. Don't worry. Due to the disappearance of the Territory Fog, we can see more clearly and luckily also find some blind spots that we haven't been able to discover before. From the time the Grand Beginnings Continent had been established, the skies had remained peaceful with only one or two heavenly tribulations happening a week, but there has been a sudden spike in heavenly tribulations in the last twenty-four hours.

"We have detected at least twenty-nine confirmed heavenly tribulations that have occurred all over the Grand Beginnings Continent, out of which twenty-five came out of the human race's territories."

The All-Seeing Emperor reported on the number of immortals having ascended suddenly, causing Davis to raise his brows.

"Twenty-five? I didn't imagine there to be so many ingrates."

"Not surprising."

Davis's expression became amused, while Myria simply let out a scoff as though this was to be expected. He glanced at her, knowing that she was still distrustful, although not entirely, as she seemed to trust him somewhat.

She had gone along with his plan, after all.

He opened his mouth as he spoke to the messaging talisman, "Although it may have been just a coincidence, I take it that a majority of them have tried to take advantage of my ascension."

"If possible, find their names and send them to me."

Davis's sapphire eyes flashed in a strange light while his smile almost became murderous.

On the other hand, Founder Alstreim Windstorm, who was also beside Davis, blinked as he didn't expect this youth to be this careful. One would expect heavenly tribulation sabotage, but this youth expected to be sabotaged after heavenly tribulation. He had never met someone who thought that way, causing him to be thoroughly awed.

"Then? Are you still going to ascend knowing that immortals would have congregated in the West Ascendance Monument? I assume you may have a plan to ascend to the South Ascendance Monument by ascending here while crossing your heavenly tribulation in the rift, but things may not go as you planned."

"I imagine that for a figure like you, they would've blocked all four ascension sites. Many may try to recruit you, which might be a good thing… but I can't assure you if they might try to harm you. Your best bet is to appear in the West Ascendance Monument if you want to be recruited, as those ascenders could've sold out your information, expecting you to appear in the West Ascendance Monument."

"Compared to the South Ascendance Monument where there could be more wicked path powers, any other monument is a good choice."

Davis couldn't help but chuckle at Founder Alstreim Windstorm's words.

Founder Alstreim Windstorm had previously explained to him about the four Ascendance Monuments, and with a bit of research and cross-referencing with Founder Alstreim Windstorm's knowledge, he managed to figure out the workings of the Ascendance Monument.

In short, if he divided the Grand Beginnings Continent into four diagonal quadrants, the answer became obvious, causing him to know where he should ascend to appear in one of the four Ascendance Monuments.

Therefore, if he ascended from the Poison Rift Valley, he would undoubtedly appear in the South Ascendance Monument.

Davis raised his hand, shook his index finger, and then pointed towards the rift.

"The pathway is here."

"…"

Founder Alstreim Windstorm blinked. What was that supposed to mean?

Was Davis not going to begin his heavenly tribulation outside but inside?

However, to bring down a heavenly tribulation in an unstable space... wasn't that dangerous? Was he hoping to make space stable using the heavenly tribulation or just simply hoping to hide his heavenly tribulation from the others?

Founder Alstreim Windstorm couldn't understand heads or tails but still followed them into the rift!
