Divine Emperor of Death



"Oh? I want to hear that more than any person in the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan."

Davion Jadelight spoke with a confident smile on his face.

His attire exuded elegance and power. His white silk robe shimmered with intricate golden embroidery, a symbol of his elevated status. The wide, flowing sleeves bestowed upon him a regal grace, commanding attention with every movement.

"I'm sure you do."

Davis returned a smile, "I'm sure you all know the Fire Phoenix Clan Patriarch has been saved. That is something regrettable, but not so much when we can see their true faces and act accordingly. This time around, I've received news from my assassin friends that the Fire Phoenix Clan is going to plan an attack on the southern region of the Golden Crow Clan but then target the subordinate powers under all of you, namely the Minn Family and the other powers."

With his words, the others widened their eyes.

"I guess the Cyan Soul Rat Clan and, perhaps, a few others are going to siege these subordinate powers."

"Sigh, unbelievable." Davion Jadelight shook his head, "I heard that the Cyan Soul Rat Clan had abandoned their Prefecture and retreated into a hidden mini realm, but to think they still want to take part in this battle."

"Woah… those rats… sure are cautious…" Davis blinked.

Although it was cowardly, Davis felt that it was the right move on their part. Knowing when to attack and back down was extremely important.

'It's no wonder these rats managed to establish themselves even with a devious kind mindset...'

He shook his head, further discussing how to defend against these invasions. He made it clear that he didn't want to be there unless he was really required, as he stated that the more his movements were known, the more his enemies could plan against him.

His sworn bother didn't say anything, and neither did the immortal inheritors, silently agreeing with him,

"Also, the Zyrus Family's entourage has appeared in our clan, stating that they want to rejoin the Central Primesky Alliance?"

While they were nearing the end of the discussion, the Starlight Jade Wolf King stated with a mocking smile.

"What…?" Davis's expression turned amused, "Are they using my Yilla as a stepping board to make it seem like I am their ally?"

He remembered that Yilla made it clear that she wasn't maintaining ties with the Zyrus Family anymore, and to make it extra evident, she even sent them a formal letter. He didn't know whether it got delivered or not, but he knew that he could trust Yilla.

She had completely severed ties with them.

"Haha. If they had done that, then I would've sent them away. However, they're here with a sumptuous offer that we may not be able to resist."

"…?" Davis smiled curiously, causing the Starlight Jade Wolf King to nod his head.

"In return for rejoining the Central Primesky Alliance, they're stating that they'll give up the rights, in other words, the location to the secret realm they found in the Northern Divide."

"…" Davis blinked.

"It's just a Peak-Level Immortal King Grade Secret Realm, no? Doesn't seem much valuable."

"No, you misunderstood." The Starlight Jade Wolf King explained, "A Peak-Level Immortal King Grade Secret Realm means that only existences under the Immortal Emperor Stage would be able to enter. As for the riches, that could not be pinpointed but speculated as most secret realms would have treasures beyond the limit of the immortals allowed, meaning that even Peak Immortal Emperor Grade Treasures could be found."

"This is especially the case when heavenly resources that grew millions of years without being disturbed or altered could be obtained, making the secret realm all the more valuable. Of course, it could also turn out to be a dud, a realm without any treasures whatsoever. So, we should be careful in making a decision."

Davis's brows were squinted. Although he still seemed amused, it could be seen that he was considering this seriously.

"Does any of you know when the Zyrus Family found this secret realm?"

"We are not sure. They've kept it a secret until they revealed it at the banquet during the formation of the Central Primesky Alliance."

The Starlight Jade Wolf King replied, and the other two shook their heads.

"I see." Davis nodded.

If they found it after he had undergone his Immortal Tribulation in their Prefecture, then clearly, he felt inclined to believe that he had somehow altered their power's fate, allowing them to discover this secret realm, in which case…

'Maybe I should go…'

Davis wasn't interested in a secret realm as remaining outside and protecting his people was of the utmost importance to him, but what if it possessed something important to him?

This dilemma made him inwardly grumble.

But there was another dilemma that made him furious.

Davis raised his head as his gaze fell on the fairy before him.

Her flowing white dress draped in layers of silk, akin to a cascading waterfall. The lightly dyed crimson fabric exuded passion and vitality. Adorned with an elaborate arrangement of delicate pins and combs, her green hair was a masterpiece.

A single stunning blossom nestled behind her ear, giving her a sense of innocence.

But more than all her adornments, her wolf-like golden eyes possessed an unparalleled serenity, concealing her thoughts with an air of mystery.

"Renfa Jadelight, you're from the era where slaughter was common or more pronounced than now. What do you think about me? Were my actions correct?"

"…"

Starlight Jade Wolf King and Davion Jadelight blinked. Why was he asking her this kind of question that would provoke discontent among them?

Renfa Jadelight also seemed taken aback a bit before she opened her lips, a melodious voice echoing out.

"When a murderer plays victim for what they've done, rationality is off the table. I'm glad the Emperor of Death could see that and act with justice in your heart and not for show."

"You're calling me a murderer?" Davis smiled.

However, his smile was similar to one of daring her to repeat that again.

But Renfa Jadelight didn't avert her gaze.

"I won't go that far, but murder is murder. We are all beings who have sinned, but such is the nature of this world- no, this universe. We cannot escape from it, but we could make amends, make things right for the next generation until one day when they would also have to follow our footsteps to protect their subsequent generations."

"I agree."

Davis's smile receded, replaced with a cold expression, "Then what about you? Should I call you… a seed stealer?"

"…"
