Divine Emperor of Death

"If it isn't the woman who harmed the Emperor Sword Sect and got herself imprisoned."

Davis laughed, gesturing at her, "Come, enjoy the banquet first."

Ivy Aries lightly smiled.

She cupped her hands, "Then I'll take you up on your offer."

Ivy Aries joined in on the feast.

It was conducted in the city square, where everyone mingled and made greetings, getting to know each other. As fellow mortals who entered the First Haven World at the same time, they had a feeling that they would have to rely on each other from now on.

Davis was seated with Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley.

It seemed like Myria, Tina, and Dalila had already entered seclusion to make the pill for the Eternal Body Soul Physique. This meant that Tina and Dalila had succeeded in their Immortal Emperor Tribulations, making him delighted.

But at the same time, he was a bit glum because he missed them due to staying in the Grand Beginnings Continent for three days.

Nonetheless, he was aware that this time, it was no simulation, but they would be creating the pill for real! He looked forward to meeting Myria with her new physique, even imagining her picking a fight with him in order to test her new strength, as she was quite competitive.

Davis took a look around while being seated.

Tina's adoptive father, Brandis Mercer, was also here, but he was mingling with Ancestor Dian Alstreim and the others since Tina was in seclusion.

They were all talking about how the young ones had far exceeded them in cultivation as they came to know some of the stories through conversations with Davis's wives, each story making them raise their brows and gawk in astonishment.

Sophie, Natalya, and Fiora spearheaded the conversation. When it came to socializing, they didn't bother much, but when there was a chance to praise Davis, they leaped at it like they were wolves.

Sophie was particularly happy to do all the talking since there were more Alstreims here.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and the others knew they had a lot to catch up on but were still interested regardless of the time, appearing to be fully invested in knowing about the Divine Emperor of Death and his adventures.

Lea shared a table with Ancestor Cornelia. Likewise, Tanya was with Ancestor Tirea Snow. They all smiled, enjoying small talk or discussing something about him, always putting him in the spotlight.

Panning his gaze around again and again, Davis could feel happiness swell within him.

It was boisterous yet so peaceful here, indirectly translating into his confidence that the current decade would no longer have a stifling battle full of struggles waiting for him as the World Master took care of the three outsiders and many more while Saintess Lunaria executed the leader of the Divergent Slayers.

The significant foes that he was supposed to face were no longer there. There was nothing else for him to do that made him feel peaceful, allowing him to be at ease in his home.

However, he was aware that this was only going to last until the Candidacy, and instead of feeling worried, he felt like he should take full advantage of this peaceful period to love his family extra hard because he may not be able to do the same in the true immortal world as he pleased.

"You really are something else…"

While many thoughts were running in his head while eating, he heard Ivy Aries sigh.

"To have made such a big family while also cultivating to be the strongest youth in the First Haven World in such a short span of time, one would wonder how much luck you were bestowed with from the heavens, but we all know you have no such thing."

Davis lightly smiled in response.

It was a given that Ivy Aries would also know that he was an Anarchic Divergent, but she still came to see him. Of course, he was the one who invited her since he couldn't be bothered to go to the Jadedrite Sword Mini Realm as most were scared of him.

He was also a bit worried that his action of taking ownership of their mini realm in an unofficial manner would have implicated them. After all, it was possible that a spacequake could appear and engulf their realm.

Although he felt it was unlikely, he didn't forget life was full of surprises, and karma was a bitch. He didn't think he could fail but for other people, not so much, as it was the poor people who suffered the most when the rich ones made a move.

"Fucking delicious! So good!~"

Abruptly, the sound of a table bang could be heard, causing a commotion that garnered the attention of the people.

They turned to look at a black-robed woman feast upon a magical beast goat. They didn't know what kind of species it was other than the fact that it was a goat, although there were other magical beast meat as well, making an incredible variety that would soothe anyone's stomach.

Due to their being mortals, the dishes served were all at the Early Immortal Stage, but the taste was incredible, and the dishes were also extremely beneficial for them. However, there were also dishes served to accommodate Immortal Kings, and this black-robed woman appeared to be eating something of that kind, practically throwing her head into the meat.

That black-robed woman was none other than Zanqua.

Panqa and Lanqua appeared embarrassed and apologized in their sister's stead. Zanqua didn't give a shit and continued devouring pieces of meat to her heart's content, not caring about her image one bit.

"You truly picked a peculiar one." Ivy Aries wryly smiled.

"It's not what you think." Davis shook his head, "She's Panqa and Lanqua's long lost sister who's been found from a bandit mountain."

"Oh…"

Ivy Aries nodded. She knew about the fey twins since she had heard about everything publicly known about the Emperor of Death so far before coming here, especially about his romantic interests, as that may or may not concern how she could not offend him accidentally.

However, she didn't think they were triplets.

However, she was glad that she treated her the same way back then, not putting on airs as long as she didn't.

Natalya came to visit her, and time passed just like that.

Soon, the banquet came to an end, and Ivy Aries was about to take her leave since Davis didn't specify the reason she was called.

"Wait."

However, she was stopped at the last moment and brought to his mansion, causing her heart to skip a beat.

She stood in front of the huge mansion and knew her life might change if he stepped in, and she couldn't help but take that step willingly, only to blink at the strange core that was presented to her in a jade container by Davis.

"What is this…? Isn't this- no… but it is very similar…"

Ivy Aries was about to say Space Essence Orb, but she saw this core had a different shape and held a ridiculous amount of energy that made her astonished, but the familiar aura coming from it made her shudder.

"You need this!"

The Jade Pearl Ravenous Lotus inside her soul sea screamed out, causing her to return her gaze to Davis in shock.
