Divine Emperor of Death

Lucia turned her gaze away from Nina as she felt guilty to the extreme. Glyn had died protecting her, and he was Nina's little brother.

She didn't know how to break Glyn's death to her.

But to her shock, she suddenly noticed the masked person who was in her view all this time. Her emotions turned chaotic and she was about to demand his corpse be returned!

However, she was interrupted by a Soul Transmission.

"Stop it, Lucia! Do you want to show Glyn's corpse to Nina!?"

Daniuis frowned as he sent her the soul transmission.

Lucia's entire being shook as she forcefully stopped herself.

Display Glyn's corpse to Nina? No! Her mind shouted no!

Although the chances were less, if Nina were to receive an enormous shock, the baby in her womb would undoubtedly be affected in some negative way.

Furthermore, there was even a chance of miscarriage even though the chances were low. After all, she knew how they cared about one another had they had left their homes together to join the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

Lucia's expression turned distressed as she felt conflicted about what to do! One one side, she could potentially harm the baby and even Nina herself, but on the flip side, if she were to hide the matter about Glyn's death, she would be desecrating Nina's right to know about the situation of her only sibling; her only little brother!

Nevertheless, it was still unknown if the raven-shaped golden masked person would ever give Glyn back to her! She didn't even understand why they would take away Glyn's corpse which shouldn't be of any use to this mysterious group!

Unless they had some despicable uses for Glyn's corpse, she really couldn't think why they would try to take his corpse away!

"Where's Glyn?"

Suddenly, a worried voice echoed, awaking her from her stupor.

Lucia instantly said as she hid her panic inwardly, "Glyn's with another group!"

"Oh..." Nina turned confused but she could only accept Lucia's claim. Her thoughts quickly focused on Lucas's well being.

Lucia's heart pounded chaotically as she lied. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief but at the same time, feel disgust for herself.

In another perspective, she felt sad as well because she wouldn't be able to see Glyn's smiling expression ever again. She remembered his face when he looked at her as if he was a hero saving the damsel in distress.

Yes, he died with a smile and still had that smile even after he died. Lucia couldn't help but bite her lips and close her eyes.

Davis looked at their reunion as he shook his head. Maybe he could've saved everyone, maybe he could've not.

If he had stayed there at the Royal Palace, Glyn would have not died but Nina could've possibly met with a worse fate along with Jackson Lars, Katrine Blackwell, and Imryll Berilan.

At the least, he felt good that he got to save more people than one.

Furthermore, Davis slightly had some doubt, thinking if his actions had to do anything with changing Glyn's fate.

Nevertheless, he understood nothing!

Even Fallen Heaven was useless in this case as it didn't know much about it.

Davis knew that he had still some chances which he could use to ask questions from Fallen Heaven.

When he had a breakthrough to the Adult Soul Stage, Fallen Heaven did declare that he could ask 3 questions every time he broke through a level in Soul Forging Cultivation.

The number of chances he had gathered was almost used up as he had already asked it numerous questions.

For example, whether if he could see a Magical Beast's name while using Death God Eyes. The matter about physical souls, spiritual souls, reincarnation, and the vague concepts of the soul.

Although it had given him some answers, all weren't clear enough to entirely satisfy or make him comprehend some truths.

He had used the questions to clear many of the doubts which Old Man Garvin had left behind.

Many of the questions that had plagued him in his journey were also answered by it, like what was that dark speck of light in the skies of the First Layer.

After breaking into the Low-Level Mature Soul Stage, he only had three remaining chances which he could use to question Fallen Heaven.

He knew that Fallen Heaven didn't have a concrete answer to Glyn's fate and he had spent one chance to ask about the Dark Speck of Light in the skies, so he could only keep those 2 remaining chances to himself and not use it for the time being.

As Davis was pondering silently, he suddenly frowned.

Why don't people ever listen to him?

While Jackson Lars, Katrine Blackwell, and Imryll Berilan stood together, three new people appeared in this hall through the entrance.

Davis sighed as he looked at the newcomers.

"It took you so long, and the Law Dominion Stage undulations suddenly disappeared, and you didn't return so we came to see that nothing had happened to you..."

Another masked yet curvaceous figure took the forefront as she spoke through Soul Transmission.

Behind her were two masked people who looked like they were a man and a woman based upon their appearances.

They too sent Davis Soul Transmissions, saying that there were relieved upon seeing him be still safe.

Davis couldn't exactly berate them as he understood that they were concerned about his well being. At the same time, he found Mulia's group a short distance away from them, hiding from the eyes of the Tripartite Alliance.

He inwardly sighed and replied, "It's finished, let's go."

The three nodded their heads and were about to leave, however, Claire suddenly froze as her soft muscles turned stiff. Her pupils dilated and she couldn't believe her eyes when her gaze landed on a certain man.

A moment later, she came out of her stupor as she uttered in disbelief, "Uncle!?"

*Boom!~*

It was as if an explosion went off as the hall turned silent after the extreme loudness of the voice.

The person Claire looked at was none other than Daniuis.

Daniuis who had been looking at the masked newcomers in caution was stunned beyond compare, his eyes twitching in confusion at the bewildered female voice.

Even Lucas and the others were stunned!

Even so, he maintained his attitude that one should towards their benefactor as he politely asked, "I don't know who my benefactor is..."

Claire slowly took off her mask and a dumbfounded face was revealed underneath, causing Daniuis to narrow his eyes on scrutiny.

He felt her face to be familiar but couldn't quickly tell who she was, nevertheless, the next second, his facial expression quickly changed as he took a step back with disbelief "Niece?"

Claire's profile displayed joy, "It's me, Uncle!"

She didn't expect for her uncle to be in this place, much less in this territory! Rather than it being a pleasant surprise, she felt absolutely dumbfounded!

Daniuis shook his head as if he couldn't believe it, "It can't be... Brother said you were dead..."

"Dead?" Claire's eyes narrowed in confusion but then it dawned on her, "They even went far as to deliberately break my life tablet..."

She slightly laughed as she shook her head, however, there was a fierce glint in her eyes.

"Niece, is it really you?" Daniuis couldn't help but ask again. He knew the place where his niece died was none other than the entrance to the world of the Immortal Inheritances in the Desolate Plains.

Around two decades ago, his brother had used a long-distance message talisman to transmit this grievous news to him, shocking him to a great degree.

Claire nodded her head, her eyes clouded with a nostalgic hue, "I've returned."
