Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4692  Overstocked

"Uh, it was right after our full group separated to head to the three High-Level Shard Regions. We met them on our way to the Mountain-Sea Painting Shard Region."

Bylai paused before she wryly smiled, "They're also powerful, but they're too daring, entering a time-attributed Mid-Level Shard Region. Together, they ventured into it. People say the probability of being able to return in this era is very slim, much less the chances of surviving, but they seemed confident. I also advised them against entering, but they said their fate lies within. Finally, they told me to send you their regards."

Davis raised his hand and caressed Bylai's cheek beneath her golden veil, "You did well to not enter. Those who don't have fate with temporal areas are simply courting death. It isn't something sheer Will or powering up will allow you to leave. The only thing that could save you there is either luck or a higher comprehension of Time Laws, which is… heh, obscured for the most part."

"Mhm…" Bylai nodded.

She wasn't stupid enough to mess with time.

Davis raised his head and looked into the distance, "But I see… they're still well. That's good to hear. Otherwise, Tia would tie me up to cook me into meat and feed Mira."

"Hehe~" Bylai couldn't help but giggle while Myria couldn't help but shake her head.

They knew Tia would occasionally drop the two of their names in conversation just so they would remember those two, so when the time came, they might support their entry into the harem. Her little coincidences were plain to see for everyone.

Davis didn't fear something would happen to them in the time-attributed Mid-Level Shard Region.

Regardless of whether they were fated with it or not, he knew their inheritances and comprehension allowed them to make waves. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to eventually do what they did for him during the events of the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm.

Davis smirked as he checked out the colossal cherry lotus.

There was a faint layer of pink barrier at the heart of the cherry lotus.

The lotus instinctively protected Aila as one of her own, so he guessed nothing would penetrate this barrier unless they were of a higher level than it, but there was the Shard Region's limit. Since it didn't have a spirit, it was treated as a resource, so it could even level up to an Exalt Grade resource if it had enough nutritious energy to absorb.

Regardless, he knew Aila was safe here. She might even be capable of directing the colossal cherry lotus to attack, as she may have formed an initial connection after so many years of trying to form a full bond with it.

That was one worry out of his heart.

Now, there was only Dalila left. He couldn't help but frown.

"You said Dalila is involved in a battle for a pill inheritance left behind by an ancient Exalt-level character?"

"Yes," Bylai nodded, "It's been three months since she entered the inheritance and became embroiled in a pill battle with nearly a hundred cultivators from the trials arranged for them. But don't worry, she's also strong in case there's a real battle. She even received a title here, the Hellfire Pill Queen."

"Hellfire Pill Queen…" Davis uttered with amusement, but he didn't find it odd, considering Dalila would have mastered the usage of karmic flames by now. He recalled its origins should be from some dimension, most likely the Underworld or the Reincarnation Dimension.

Back then, he could sense a mystical flame burning within her soul. It was unlike anything he had ever seen. However, it was still in the process of swelling within Dalila, and no one should speak a word of it, or there was a chance that it would disrupt its manifestation.

It was similar to how karmic burden passively changed one's fate. It may not deviate from their final destiny, but it might certainly make them experience misfortune. Speaking of something karmic burdened can cause the affected material to explode or even disappear.

"Myria, can you stay guard for Dalila in front of the inheritance site?"

"No problem." Myria tersely responded.

"I'm always grateful." Davis cupped his hands and bowed, making Myria smile lightly.

"You still have your debt to settle, don't you?"

"Yes… she is quite pesky and stubborn. I can't make her wait for more, considering she has been patient so far. Besides, she helped me out again…" He sighed.

"What's this about?" Bylai asked curiously.

Myria told her it was about Fairy Thunderblaze, who wanted Davis's help to explore and collect specific resources in the Shard Continent using the debt he owed her as leverage.

"Oh…" Bylai comprehended before she cast a knowing glance at Davis.

"It's not what you think." Davis coughed, "After helping Aila, I'll first settle the debt, and by the time I return, Dalila and Aila should've already fulfilled their goals. Then we'll return together to the fortress and seek a way out to establish a new settlement. Oh, fortunately, we also have the Boundless Formation Sage and Boundless Forge Master's inheritances. Combined with Dalila's pill inheritance, we got most of our skills covered. As for resources…"

Davis eagerly looked at Bylai.

She stood in attention and smirked pridefully, "My group has collected over 12,623 Empyrean Grade resources and 472 Primarch Grade resources, excluding ores and minerals."

"…"

"As for ores, they number in a few thousand as I said before, and there are quite a few tons of nearly everything."

"…"

"…"

After three breaths of silence, Davis and Myria finally came out of their reverie.

"What?" They felt like they had heard it wrong.

Only after they blurted out did they comprehend what Bylai had said. She repeated it again.

Of course, they should've known when they met with Rioxys Plume. Before becoming an Exalt Spirit, she must've been an Empyrean Spirit with a prowess that reached the peak of the Shard Region's limit. Together with Melluca, the Grand Geocrest Metal Spirit, they would've been able to maintain supremacy wherever they went.

Hence, their rate of procurement was higher than Isabella's group and Shirley's group.

Moreover, they also got Dalila with them. She would be able to easily identity and pinpoint the weakness of these resources and have them harvest them the correct way. Mira was also there to sniff out dangers as her perception should be terrifying, with her body harmonizing with the all-in-one chaos attribute.

Previously, they possessed around 550 Primarch Grade resources. Now, along with the 472 Primarch Grade resources, it has reached above a whopping 1,000 Primarch Grade resources.

Both Davis and Myria were downright dumbfounded. When they shared this with Bylai, she was also stupefied.

To have collected so many resources, wouldn't all eight galaxies target the Davis Family if they were to know about it?

One single target could unearth a thousand Primarch Grade resources? Which power wouldn't be interested? Moreover, as an Anarchic Divergent Family, they were indeed a target for destruction regardless of whether they had such a mindboggling amount of resources or not.

There were only two outcomes of obtaining so many resources. It will either lead to their ruin or it would lead to their supremacy!

Thanks Emross for the Magic Castle!
