Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1629 - Harnessing

Davis was still in search of where the karmic sin he plundered from Evelynn could’ve possibly gone. Just as he was about to ask Fallen Heaven, Soul Emperor Elusivemist walked into the room after closing the door, seemingly determined.

"...!?"

However, Soul Emperor Elusivemist suddenly couldn’t help but raise his brows as he saw Evelynn.

He, who practiced in Karma Laws to an average level for a Ninth Stage Powerhouse, was unable to sense any kind of karmic sin on this Hex Demoness.

’Impossible...!’ Was what he thought, but then he relaxed.

"It doesn’t matter if two you hide it from someone as insignificant as me."

Soul Emperor Elusivemist couldn’t help but wryly smile, his posture a bit humble as he bent his back.

"Those who have karmic sin, disaster would soon befall them even if they were doing nothing after their evil deeds. Even if it does not befall them, their close ones connected to their karma will fall. The karmic cycle never ceases to amaze us powerhouses, and its laws are perfect that even immortals don’t dare look down upon it, warning us to not take karma lightly."

"Of course, no wonder you’re all terrified of my Evelynn."

Davis sneered.

He noticed that it’s a preconceived notion their ancestors put on them, although their notions were well deserved to exist. Evelynn was indeed unstoppable at the moment to the majority of the powerhouses.

Nevertheless, Davis couldn’t understand.

He killed more than two million people, so why doesn’t he have karmic sin with him?

Whether it was his karmic sin or Evelynn’s, Soul Emperor Elusivemist wasn’t able to find it in him, causing him to be confused.

Was it hidden due to Fallen Heaven, or does it not matter whom he killed, and something like karmic sin or karmic virtue never applied to him in the first place?

While he was wondering, Soul Emperor Elusivemist continued.

"When there is karmic sin, inversely, there is karmic virtue. I implore master to direct your wife to do good deeds, like saving millions of people in crisis. If she does that, then her karmic sin will drop inevitably."

Davis couldn’t help but blink, while Evelynn also couldn’t help but perk up her ears.

"Surely, this couldn’t be a game of doing bad deeds and absolving it with good deeds, right?"

Davis mockingly chuckled, but Soul Emperor Elusivemist smiled.

"Indeed, this is how experts and powerhouses keep their karmic luck in check. Although it is an abstract concept, they would do good deeds to offset the sinful deeds they did. However, the amount of good deeds required is twice or more to offset the wicked deeds done.

Davis slightly widened his eyes at this moment as he recalled that Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky did evil things but also did many good things as if to offset that. He wondered what the matter with that was, and now he finally understood.

It was to keep their karmic luck in check and not increase the chances of passing the heavenly tribulation even though it is a major factor.

Davis thought for a moment before he asked.

"Explain karmic luck, karmic virtue, and karmic sin to me in your words and keep it simple."

Soul Emperor Elusivemist couldn’t help but raise his brows. However, he didn’t ask anything as he contemplated for a moment before opening his mouth.

"The concept of karmic luck was already well established in powers where powerhouses use their blood and soul to strengthen their weapons and tie them to their blood, enabling them to protect their powers from disasters. In the same way, karmic luck can be gathered from cultivating both karmic virtue and karmic sin. However, possessing karmic sin, which is the easiest to cultivate, is detrimental in the world’s eyes as it invites heavenly flames to burn their karmic sins."

"On the other hand, karmic virtue allows for an easier heavenly tribulation. However, if people had time to do good, they would waste their prime instead as it always takes a long time to save people but a short time to kill them, indirectly causing them to drop in battle prowess and offset their initial advantage against the heavenly tribulation, making it so that karmic virtue is of little importance to one’s heavenly tribulation."

Davis blinked. He understood his words, but he became lost at one point when he heard karmic sin also cultivates karmic luck.

"Isn’t karmic sin detrimental to karmic luck in the sense that the karmic luck becomes negative, inviting disasters, misfortune, and many trials?" He asked in doubt.

"That’s a common misunderstanding." Soul Emperor Elusivemist uttered before he shook his head, "No, that’s misinformation spread to the common populace in order to make them do good deeds whenever they can. In truth, this is why the wicked path and the righteous path exist. The way they base their lives upon them is different. Being born in a brutal environment, if one kills for an obscure reason, they gain karmic sin, but they don’t lose their karmic luck but gain more of it. That’s why killing is rampant in the wicked path."

"In the same way, if people born in a peaceful environment were to kill for those same obscure reasons, that would be inviting disaster and misfortune, which is in line with what master said now. Therefore, if people took the wicked path as their way of life, gaining karmic sin would be of greater help to them in finding treasures as it increases their karmic luck, but it causes their heavenly tribulation to be difficult. Inversely, the righteous path needs to cultivate their karmic virtue by helping people and increase their chances of finding treasures and mini realms like master’s mother who saved a village of a few hundred thousand people from a wicked person’s scheme in her youth."

Davis raised his brows? His mother did something like that? He abruptly remembered reading that from the book belonging to Soul Emperor Elusivemist, suddenly making sense to him.

Claire was saved by Logan, an enemy of all things.

Was this due to karmic luck and not a simple encounter of romance in crisis?

Furthermore, his derailed fate made him aware that kind of karmic luck wasn’t enough for her to survive in the end, as she met a miserable fate during the invasion. It was Fallen Heaven who changed her fate and everyone around him, making him once again think that Fallen Heaven is not a simple treasure of death and life but also a treasure capable of changing people’s luck into one of fortune and misfortune, just like it allowed him to plunder Evelynn’s misfortune just like that with a swing of a palm.

"Truly marvelous..."

Davis couldn’t help but utter with a daring smile on his face, wondering what this world had in store for him, feeling both excited and scared.

Soul Emperor Elusivemist couldn’t help but smile as he felt that he had done something useful.

"That’s why we say that the heavens are aware of everything. From one’s reasons to take action till their consequences. All of them are judged by the heavens, and although fate dictates people’s end is the same, unchangeable, the choices that they go through in their lives are purely based upon their individual minds."

Davis’s expression became normal as he nodded, but he couldn’t help but inwardly smirk as this guy was proving himself to be quite useful. Nevertheless, he bought his information at face value and knew not to trust much, although he could feel that this person’s words contained little or no distortion with his Heart Intent.

"I see master, the Emperor of Death is as young as the rumors spoke. I would’ve doubted my eyes and ears if I hadn’t seen it for myself." Soul Emperor Elusivemist’s eyes gleamed.

"Are you mocking me?"

Davis couldn’t help but smile threateningly while Soul Emperor Elusivemist hastily shook his head as his heart skipped a beat.

"No, I crave my life to do that. Instead, I am purely shocked to see such a young powerhouse. Master can truly reach the Immortal Stage one day, and I hope that master would take good care of me at that time."

"And that’s why you gave me all this information and even recommended my wife to do good deeds? Very well." Davis nodded, "However, how I treat you still depends on yourself, so you would do well to carve that forgettable information into your mind."

"Yes, master."

Soul Emperor Elusivemist kneeled at this moment, proceeding to swear his loyalty with his words.

Davis knew that this man had made his decision after a walk outside that may have been refreshing or depressing, but it tended to work out in his favor at the end.

Nevertheless, he still wondered where the karmic sin he plundered from Evelynn went as he tried to activate Fallen Heaven’s karmic prowess. This time he saw a glorious golden-yellow light that slightly hovered above Soul Emperor Elusivemist’s head, instantly identifying it as karmic virtue.

Still, he wondered if he could plunder it as he plundered karmic sin. After all, both were karmic in nature.

Feeling curious, he swung his hand, his palm grabbing the golden-yellow light as if it was a layer of covering, bringing it back to him.

Soul Emperor Elusivemist shook, feeling something amiss while kneeling. On the other hand, Davis’s expression froze as the karmic virtue was quickly absorbed inside of him into Fallen Heaven as he saw it clearly this time.

Simultaneously, he could feel like he could summon something out, and he acted upon it without thinking when he suddenly possessed the karmic virtue on his hand again! However, feeling like he could flip it, he didn’t wait and flipped it, only to see the wisp of karmic virtue in his palm turn into the ominous karmic sin.

Davis’s pupils dilated while witnessing this crazy phenomenon.

’I see...! I can change the karmic nature, but I require both karmic virtue and karmic sin to do this...!’

The amount in his hand was comparable to the single meter of karmic virtue and karmic sin, denoting that he needed equal amounts of both to control them!

Before Soul Emperor Elusivemist could raise his head, he flicked his sleeves, making it disappear from his palm, and harrumphed.

"You would do well to be my loyal slave from now on!"

"Yes!"

Soul Emperor Elusivemist knew something was amiss, but he still couldn’t tell what was amiss as he concentrated on making the Emperor of Death satisfied.

On the other hand, Davis was screaming inside as he instantly decided to name this newfound ability that was capable of harnessing karmic virtue and karmic sin as the...

... Karmicseizer!
