Divine Emperor of Death

It was not only them.

There was a baby boom as the next generation of the Alstreim Family lineage was being born into the world. This was practically the best era for them to thrive. Even the threat of the Calamity Light didn't seem to bother them, or one should say that such big matters are not in their eyes, only wanting to continue on with their lives while leaving the significant matters to the big wigs like him.

They were probably assured since an apex hegemonic existence like him was at the helm.

Davis watched Rellow Alstreim break into the Low-Level Energy Condensation Stage, smoothly entering the Second Stage. The other kids smaller than him stopped and turned to look at him with wonder and amazement in their eyes while a little girl possessed a pout. Davis knew that this girl was Rellow Alstreim's little half-sister, the child of Lucas and Ophelia.

He couldn't believe more than five years had already passed since that time, and similarly, he was excited to witness Eterna's and Isabella's baby's growth as well.

Nonetheless, he was sure that his actions had changed Rias and Rellow Alstreim's fate as one of them turned out to be ancestor Aries while the other was most likely Old Man Garvin. He had no way of confirming Old Man Garvin's true incarnation at the moment unless he gave the branch to Rias and invoked her memories, allowing him to see her karmic thread of love that should've manifested in response and connect with the true incarnation of Old Man Garvin but with his main body cultivating, he didn't think of doing that now.

Therefore, he intended to do that later.

Thinking of Hadian's family and Uncle Daniuis's family, Davis recalled Jackson Lars's family, the youth that he had once robbed for his first mission as a recruitment mission of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries and later helped him survive a tragic fate.

Davis knew that Jackson Lars's family also had two children as he had paid somewhat of attention ever since Hadian's family and Jackson Lars's family arrived here after he was revived by Shirley, so it was practical to think that Jackson Lars's children could also have a chance to host the incarnation of Old Man Garvin, and because of that probability, he was not sure about his thoughts unless he could confirm it using the previous method.

However, with a name like Rellow, the exact opposite of Woller, Davis couldn't help but almost decide that Rellow Alstreim was Old Man Garvin's reincarnation. Otherwise, it would just be too much of a coincidence.

'Still, even if Rellow Alstreim is Old Man Garvin's reincarnation, he shouldn't be able to regain his memories. That leaves a pure incarnation, unlike Rias's soul that has ancestor Aries's seed of memories...'

He became slightly worried if Rellow Alstreim would be connected with Rias through the karmic thread of love. However, since they were practically neighbors, he could see them loving each other in the future already, making him wonder if he should even disturb them by allowing ancestor Aries to regain her memories.

However, with fate becoming ever-changing in his vicinity and the people connected to him, he strongly believed that he had to drive that twisting fate in the correct direction or the direction he required it to traverse.

Such mystical yet arrogant thoughts were already etching themselves in Davis's heart and soul, making him want to control his own ultimate destiny, more so than ever before.

"…"

At this moment, Davis received a soul transmission from Evelynn even though he was hundreds of kilometers away. He couldn't help but wryly smile.

Apparently, many people thought that Eterna was kidnapped and rushed to the Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace but was intercepted by Evelynn as expected. Even though it was quickly resolved, his women who were sincerely cultivating were disturbed out of seclusion as they sensed that many undulations Ninth Stage undulations were nearing the palace.

Claire hastily apologized to all of them, but they didn't dare accept her apology, hurriedly lifting their mother-in-law up.

'Sigh, without me… this whole family would collapse...'

Davis couldn't help but inwardly laugh but considering that he was the one who stuck them all together with his selfishness, his smile left his face. He obediently returned to Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace and saw its magnificence.

It was a palace with eight legs built in all eight directions, or rather, they were compartments that could dig through the ground and establish themselves as a palace. Moreover, it was not a floating palace but a flying palace as the eight legs had thruster-like mechanisms, unleashing flames to thrust in all directions.

The towering palace was in the center, where the spider-like leg compartments were connected. It was a kilometer tall and a hundred meters wide and long, possessing nine floors while they occupied the sixth to the ninth floor.

By the time he returned to the ninth floor, all guests who came to check on Eterna's safety had left except Claire and Nora. It seemed the latter returned to check on Eterna as well, causing him to appreciate their sentiments.

He sauntered into the luxuriously built hall where everyone was gathered as he panned his gaze.

'Sophie, Niera, Diana, Edward, and father aren't here… I guess they're at the crucial junction of breakthrough that they couldn't sense the commotion outside...'

Quickly pondering, he gazed at his mother with a teasing smile on his face.

"I told you it was nothing, mother."

"Then explain it…! It's your fault for disappearing on me like that as though you were trying to hide something to not invoke panic..."

Claire heavily blushed as she waved her hands downwards, causing the others to secretly giggle while Nora possessed an awkward expression on her face.

"I apologize. I was the one who made it-"

"It's fine." Davis waved his hand as he smiled, "I'm elated to know how you all care about my daughter so much. In case something like before happens again, do it again. You're all welcome to come to see Eterna anytime, even if nothing dangerous is going on."

"Son…"

Nora produced a content smile, "Then you should also come to see Evan and Laura. They adore you after hearing legendary stories about you, you know..."

"Haha…" Davis awkwardly chuckled, "I'll try to make some time."

"Well, I understand you don't have time yourself, but that's fine. I should also engage myself in cultivation, but with Claire taking care of the children, I don't have a choice, do I?"

"Nora, I already told you to go practice cultivation. Eterna is my son's child, so I will take care of her. You can count on me to take care of Laura too."

"Ah~ Davis is my son too." Nora clenched her teeth, "I won't let you claim all to himself, Claire."

"You shameless woman."

"You selfish mother."

Claire and Nora glared at each other, baring their fangs.

"…"

On the other hand, Davis sneakily walked away from them before he arrived at a certain group who was caught off-guard, and then, without even providing an explanation, he captured their wrists and entered an unoccupied room before closing the door.

He turned to look at the two women, who became flabbergasted by his actions. However, one of them shot a wide smile.

"I know you're not the main body, so don't bother."

Tina smirked with a lovely smile while Dalila became stunned, her rapidly beating heart becoming normal.
