Divine Emperor of Death



"That's right! The Central Primesky Alliance also seeks an explanation from the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan and Golden Crow Clan! What is the meaning of harboring an Anarchic Divergent and causing us all to fall into a pit of karmic burden!?"

The Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch roared along with the other alliances.

His expression was utterly stiff, not imagining that Mo Tian was Davis Alstreim. The Cyan Soul Rat King, Xerax, also looked down, his body shuddering as though he felt terror. They couldn't forget the pressure the heavens cast on them all as the Annihilative Immortal King Tribulation descended, much less the animosity they had shown Mo Tian before.

'That bastard… he planned everything…!'

Many who had offended him thought the same way, their expressions gleaming with panic and wanting to do something before it was too late, whether it may be eliminating the Anarchic Divergent or making compromises with him.

After all, the Earth Dragon Clan was also dumbfounded, wondering if they got on his bad side as the Fire Phoenix Clan pulled a deceitful move like entrapping an immortal inheritor with a Blood Soul Contract. Even the expressions of the other immortal inheritors weren't good.

They were once leaders and would receive adoration no matter where they went, but one of them was being treated like this?

The Fire Phoenix Clan had committed a grave sin by being unfilial to their ancestors since the immortal inheritors, regardless of their age, all possessed the recognition of the immortal inheritance masters who gave their lives for the betterment of the clan.

"Don't try to sneak away, Central Primesky Alliance. This problem naturally falls on you as well since you have signed a Blood Soul Contract with an Anarchic Divergent!"

"…"

However, the other alliances naturally didn't let the Central Primesky Alliance escape from taking responsibility for this mess. They threatened them with war, causing the Central Primesky Alliance people's expression to churn.

Was their alliance going to be destroyed before it even had a chance to function properly?

As they went back and forth, trying to throw the responsibility on each other but not daring to throw hands as this was the Aurora Cloud Gate's grounds where they reserved the right to kill anyone misbehaving as they had defensive or killing formations set up in place, the others who were not thinking about the overall picture also felt complex.

"He… he's alive…"

Zora Luan shed tears as she pushed her palms over her mouth, becoming overwhelmed with emotions.

She couldn't understand why she was crying but believed that it was because, with the mess he created, she no longer needed to be married to the Fire Phoenix Clan because of the peace treaty contract her clan exchanged with the Fire Phoenix Clan.

She held hope that there were definitely going to be changes, but her heart kept pounding for some reason.

"Heh… Good for you that you listened to me..."

Xerna Zenflame curled her lips.

She was none other than one of many of Killian Zenflame's daughters. Even she was surprised her father was acting all friendly. When the truth came out, she wasn't shocked but just disappointed, even cursing herself for even holding some kind of hope that her father might change.

"Truly… ridiculous…"

Mistress Zahara sighed as she turned to look at an icy-blue-robed woman.

"If Shirley was deceived into a contract like that, then I, whose existence is not public, will have been..."

She couldn't help but tremble, thinking of the consequences.

Of course, she had been approached by the Fire Phoenix Clan and was almost convinced. After all, they didn't force anything upon her and told her to follow Shirley if she wanted to. That made her feel some sort of sincerity from them, but it turned out that it was all a farce.

They were still as hateful as that Tegon Zenflame, making her furious.

"…"

However, hearing her words, Mistress Yeyin also felt shaken.

"I… I'm not joining the Ice Phoenix Clan..."

She distanced herself from another person, causing that person to heave a gentle sigh.

That person was none other than the former Ice Phoenix Clan's Matriarch, Cyclonis Blizzara.

The days of work she put into convincing Yeyin had all gone down the drain. Even if the Ice Phoenix Clan was sincere, it would be difficult for Yeyin to trust them as she was also not a publicly accepted immortal inheritor.

In fact, she imagined if people knew she was the immortal inheritance's master, then they would go beyond that, either putting her on a pedestal or completely restricting her into doing what they wanted.

She frowned, having no idea what they would do with her as the Ice Phoenix Clan was also fraught with internal struggles. Although she liked to believe that it wasn't worse than the Fire Phoenix Clan, since she couldn't return to her clan as she abandoned it and entered the Aurora Cloud Gate, there was no way for her to tell what would happen or even be able to protect Yeyin in the Ice Phoenix Clan.

However, she didn't say anything to Yeyin and instead looked into the distance at the darkened skies.

For the first time, she understood that this was more than recruiting the inheritors. A threat or not, there was someone even more powerful among them, someone they couldn't possibly just ignore.

"I really didn't expect him to be alive after pulling off a stunt like that, much less reveal himself to be an Anarchic Divergent. He has fooled my eyes much more than I could think."

Cyclonis Blizzara lightly smiled, "Tell him that the world would want to slay him no matter what, as this would be the only chance they would get. After all, if they fail to utilize this chance, they might have to live under his rule, or as they would like to say... blightful tyranny."

She disappeared from their sight, leaving Zahara and Yeyin dumbfounded.

They were let go of just like that? And what was supposed to be that warning? They couldn't help but narrow their eyes, making their way further to enter the branch.

However, they saw many people crowding the area, disallowing them to enter.

"Make way for us. We want to talk to the Earth Dragon Queen."

"But as you can see, the branch is not open to outsiders until things have settled down."

The Earth Dragon Clan's Patriarch demanded entry to meet Isabella, but the elders there constantly made excuses, leaving them hanging as they wanted to know if the Earth Dragon Queen had completely cut off connections from them.

*Bang!~*

A crimson-robed man hurriedly shot into a palace as many gates kept opening one by one. It looked as though it was a sealed palace that hadn't been opened for many years, as one could see fine dust all over the place.

Accurately, it wasn't dust but concentrations of heaven and earth energy that had gone bad. Absorbing it was not harmful but, in many amounts, could contaminate one's energy, leaving them sick.

But as he entered, these particles were all blown away in an instant, leaving him appearing in front of a huge gate.

"Ancestor Reselius! The time has come for the world to know of our Fire Phoenix Clan's might!"

*Bzzz!~*

"...!"

The gates began to open, stunning Killian Zenflame. However, he rejoiced, knowing that his Ancestor had already awakened from his deep slumber. After all, even his specter that advised wasn't here anymore.

Once the gates completely opened, he rubbed his nose, looking smug as he took his steps to the room with an archaic aura.

"Hehe, Davis Alstreim. You may have faked your death, but now that you threw yourself here, don't you think of escaping-"

However, his smile froze for some reason.
