Divine Emperor of Death

Ivy Aries and ancestor Aries seemed shocked at this phenomenon at first, including recognizing the purple-robed man at the center of the heaven and earth energy resonance a second later, but the both of them instantly understood what Davis was doing.

'I see… so this is what he meant by an experiment...'

Using them to gain insights into a Law. If it was just that, they were relieved as it was not like anything evil like they feared. After all, the title he possessed wasn't for merriment.

Ten minutes later, Davis walked out of the space he had hidden. The resonation of the heaven and earth energy had disturbed his concealment. However, he was glad to know that his other comprehensions weren't impeded by the heavens.

After all, he had already exceeded the restriction imposed on all life for comprehending Laws, so he was worried that he was going to be ostracized all his life. What if it caused him to be unable to comprehend Laws until he could gain something of heavenly nature?

That would not only suck but cause him to rely on his soul forever.

Nonetheless, there was a proud smirk on his face, having benefited a lot from this endeavor as he had planned to.

'Well, my Karma Laws increased drastically, allowing me to comprehend Level One Intent of Karma Laws, but as for Reincarnation Laws, I only managed to gain a bit of insight, but clearly, that's not enough… it's a pity...'

Davis couldn't help but smile dryly. Even with his plans to revive ancestor Aries, that kind of transient experience wasn't enough to allow him to comprehend Reincarnation Laws. However, that was expected, considering what he was trying to comprehend was categorized as a Supreme Law and the most difficult to comprehend out of all the Laws under Supreme Laws.

As for learning Level One Karma Intent, he had eight minor resonances at this moment and a major resonance, allowing him to officially have stepped into the ranks of having learned Karma Laws. After all, Karma Laws was a Greater Law. Only after having learned a Level One Intent of Greater Law could cultivators be considered to have officially comprehended a Greater Law.

On the other hand, minor resonances were only nominal comprehension. They were not considered to be full-fledged and hence, the differentiation between Greater Laws and Primary Laws.

Still, Davis hadn't given up, nor did he feel disheartened.

'It seems like I have to move to the second step and awaken a certain someone from slumber...'

As he confidently thought, he appeared in front of the dumbfounded Ivy Aries and ancestor Aries, their expressions looking frightened to death. The Jade Pearl Ravenous Lotus on top of Ivy Aries's head glowed with a dark viridian light, radiating a hostile intent.

Davis blinked before he realized.

"Oh, excuse me. Recently, I had a breakthrough, and that caused my aura to drastically change, becoming more tyrannical. I do apologize for the inconvenience caused, especially for scaring ancestor Aries who has become a baby..."

He couldn't help but chuckle, making the both of them awkwardly smile along with him.

"It's fine."

Ivy Aries lightly smiled and bowed while clasping her hands, "Thank you, Emperor of Death. Your words are as pure as jade and heavy as the mountains, accomplishing what you said without a change in heart or desire."

"As I said, we both stand to gain in this endeavor."

The both of them nodded before Ivy Aries bowed once again, thanking him before pointing at the fainted figure on the sofa.

"Is this little boy truly ancestor Garvin?"

"Indeed. His name is Rellow Alstreim, and I had a hunch that he was the next incarnation of my teacher, Garvin, the moment I saw him, but now, I've practically confirmed it with my capability."

Ivy Aries's eyes shone with a romantic light as she turned to look at her ancestor.

"Ancestor Aries, did you hear that? This little guy is indeed ancestor Garvin!~"

"Isn't that… what I said…? However, it's more reassuring… to have the person who… made this possible agree… with… my opinion..."

Davis's lips couldn't help but quiver, almost having him rolling around laughing as he saw the baby talk happily. It was slightly creepy but still cute. Nonetheless, his expression couldn't help but churn with seriousness.

"I know ancestor Aries has regained her memories, but it isn't likely the case for ancestor Garvin as far as I've seen. I have a valid hypothesis as to why Rellow Alstreim recognized ancestor Aries. It's because the phenomenon that allowed you to regain back your memories induced the previous lives memories of Rellow Alstreim. However, there is also the power of karma at play here."

"The Viridian Afterlife Path Fruit has a limitation of recovering one's memories before the one who consumed the fruit and reincarnated turned ten. In the same way, there are stories of some children occasionally remembering the events of their previous life as though it is hidden deep in their memories, no, in the soul."

"I assume that these previous life memories are just remnants that would disappear with the passage of time. Moreover, even though our souls may have these remnant memories, most don't even remember a glimpse of their past, but some do. Even if they don't remember, it is still present deep in their souls for a few years, perhaps till nine to eighteen years of age. That's why upon encountering the resonation of ancestor Aries's returning memories, the strong karmic connection between you and Old Man Garvin allowed Rellow Alstreim to temporarily recall his past that was still hidden in his soul."

"This is my hypothesis, but I'm fairly sure that it is true. Otherwise, the heaven and earth energy wouldn't have resonated with me again and again if my understanding was totally false."

Davis held his chin the whole time before he finished his monologue, focusing his gaze on them as he saw their expressions.

"…"

Ivy Aries was thoroughly dumbfounded, while the little Rias had a similar yet amusing reaction. They were considered erudite about many things but couldn't help but feel impressed in their hearts because of the immense knowledge the young man possessed.
