Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4740  Set In Motion Years Ago?

Abruptly, Davis recalled that he had noticed that the reason why Rioxys Plumeʼs mother had left her in that Low-Level Darkness Attributed Shard Region could also be because of divination. He guessed her mother had divined that she would be saved by humans or someone, and so had left her there.

Rioxys Plume was also young. Since she was not a wild spirit, her parents shouldʼve also left no more than fifteen to twenty years ago. It also coincided with his own rise as the Divine Emperor of Death more than ten years ago, when he stepped into the true immortal world and assumable hastened the appearance of this secret realm.

ʼIn other words, this fate was established back then. This fate connects us, or I- my family had stolen someone elseʼs fate of saving and delivering Rioxys Plume back to her grandfather. Whose fate could it be…?ʼ

Davis couldnʼt think of anyone. He wasnʼt the first to appear here since it was Isabella, Shirley, and the others who saved Rioxys Plume from the Nefarious Darkwill Rakshasa. None of them were Divergents, so he wondered if this fate belonged to their family, after all.

ʼHmm… Bylai was the one who took care of Rioxys Plume later on, but it was Isabella who was leading the group. If she had said otherwise, they would leave Rioxys Plume there alone… Yes, so it is indeed Isabellaʼs fate. After I entered the secret realm, I stole Isabellaʼs fate and led Rioxys here. That is the source of danger that Tia detected… but now that Iʼm here, it could be back to square one… with Tia leading Isabella back right here…ʼ

Davis held his head, feeling like his head was going to break with all these deductions; he didnʼt even know if it was true or false. He wasnʼt just thinking but trying to peer into fate by actively deciphering the events that happened in reality. Quickly, he stopped thinking, his forehead filled with beads of sweat.

He didnʼt arrive at an answer. However, his intuition was telling him that he was right. It couldnʼt be anything else, as he failed to see what led to this outcome.

ʼIn other words, I could be stuck here for a year more or forced to go on the other side…ʼ

Davis looked in the opposite direction from the Myriad Coiling Spirit Peak. He didnʼt know what was there, but considering no spirit ventured after this place, he didnʼt think it was anything good.

”Besides, what?”

Seeing him go silent and look towards further north while ruminating with a pained expression on his face, Lady Thunderwraith asked.

Davis didnʼt respond.

He was silent for a few more seconds, nearly half a minute, before he gazed at her.

”Never mind. Iʼll get my Calamity, and weʼll hole up for a while in the verdant grounds of the plant lifeform. I think I got an idea. Just play along with me…”

”Your Calamity…?” Lady Thunderwraith couldnʼt understand.

Davis headed west a bit and then chanced upon his slumbering Eternal Eclipse Bird. His heart pained a bit to see it missing its wings and a quarter of its head. Lying beside it was a dead Void Calamity that appeared to be poisoned to death as it lay in a pool of blood. The Lunar Shadow Bleeding Sickness wasnʼt to be underestimated when it was nighttime and the moons were up.

This Void Calamity was not only weaker than the Eternal Eclipse Bird in terms of cultivation, but also went as far as to eat the poisonous flesh of the bird. It thought the Eternal Eclipse Bird was an easy target because it was no longer moving, but in truth was thoroughly asking for death.

”Krra~”

Suddenly, the Eternal Eclipse Bird echoed in a low voice.

”Youʼre still alive…!”

Davisʼs heart jumped in surprise. Of course, it was dead. It was an undead, but its Ghost Will seems to have survived even after being abandoned by him. He nearly got emotional as he slid down the slope of the mountain and instantly threw it into the Temporal Voidplane Ring to freeze time for it so he could later save it.

Then, without looking back or plundering that dead Void Calamityʼs core, he directly shot back into the ghostly yin region and arrived before Lady Thunderwraith.

She was shocked, having never seen someone care for a Realm Calamity.

Somehow, the more she learned about this Anarchic Divergent, the more she couldnʼt understand him. Who in their right mind would even keep a Calamity as a pet?

Even Archon Zaratu only managed to come to a consensus with the Blood Realm Calamity after it gained sentience, and even then, it wasnʼt really allowed to grow into an Exalt Stage Calamity! After all, even she saw how dangerous it was. If it really managed to become an Exalt and hide itself, it was practically over for the Myriad Coiling Spirit Peak in the next few million years.

Even while it was sealed in this space, it had planned to become a True Deity in one fell swoop.

Nonetheless, they quickly got back to the area where the plant lifeform was located.

The True Deity aura here wouldnʼt let any wild beasts like the Calamities or anything else dare get closer, and Davis had a Celestial Spirit Archonʼs words backing him. He was given time to recover.

It was true that he was injured by True Deity-level strength, technically, a laugh, but it didnʼt injure him to a critical level. The plant-blood armor had protected him and had shattered, so it wasnʼt to a level where he was feeling unbearable pain or felt weak, but it definitely was an untreatable injury.

He could only try to heal it using Fallen Heaven after returning home or, at the very least, the Shard Regions. He couldnʼt do it here in the Shard Continent or would invite trouble since he didnʼt believe Rioxys Plumeʼs grandfather really was fooled by the Malevolent Flesh Erasure Fan.

He guessed the other party didnʼt want to probe deeper because of his granddaughter.

It could also be that he was waiting for him to die from the Realm Calamities roaming around, so he could appear later and loot the thing that made him feel a sense of unease.

ʼPerhaps thatʼs why he gave me the True Deity Grade Fruit. It is essentially a bait to get me killed…ʼ Davis inwardly sneered.

If he were also at their level, he could play this game, but as an ant, he could only move like an ant and fight like a worm, squirming his way to become a dragon.

Returning to the verdant grounds, Davis cleared a place in preparation to bring out the person who was going to die within a second.

Davis heaved a breath. He still hadnʼt gotten any rest, so he was tired. Regardless, first things were first.

”Are you ready?” He asked Lady Thunderwraith.

”Mhn. I am ready.” The wraith responded in a bland tone.

Yet, her arms her up and her palms faced against empty air as she said, ”I owe this to her.”

She recalled being protected by Fairy Thunderblazeʼs trump cards as they marched through the bloody lair. She couldnʼt have survived alone.

Davis didnʼt say anything and stared at her, ”How many secrets about me and my family did you hear?”

”…” Lady Thunderwraith suddenly went still.
