Divine Emperor of Death

The gate behind Alexi Ethren closed by itself, or rather, he didn’t feel Davis’s soul undulations as it didn’t touch or brush past him.

Looking around in cautiousness and impatience, Alexi Ethren spoke, "Where’s Senior?"

"Mhm? Do you mean Young Mistress’s Protector? Why would that person even want to meet you if it weren’t for my request?"

"Your request!?" Alexi Ethren became flabbergasted before he let out a sigh.

"You want to humiliate me? For Natalya?" He shook his head, "I’m sorry. I’m willing to entertain you any day but not now..."

"I need to save my mother!"

Davis blinked at his outburst and cast a glance at the woman with a peaceful expression on her face. He then glanced back at him with a smile on his face.

"Your mother? Even though she is at ease as if she is ready to die..."

"It’s none of your business!" Alexi Ethren retorted as he almost lost his cool.

In truth, he knew that his mother no longer had the will to live but he selfishly wanted to make her recover, for his sake. He didn’t want to see her die after knowing that the master he spent his time with was his mother.

Honestly, if he knew that she was her mother from the start, he wouldn’t have desired to return to Ethren City to seek revenge sooner. After all, with his mother with him, he would’ve prioritized that to any other matters.

"The same way, senior’s whereabouts is none of your concern as well..." Davis shrugged in an indifferent tone.

Veins protruded on his forehead as Alexi Ethren’s expression became ugly. He tightened his grasp subconsciously but made himself relax once he realized that it was his mother in his arms.

His expression trembled as he asked.

"What do you want?"

Even his voice trembled and there were traces of pleading in it.

Davis smiled as he looked at this tough nut. He wanted to crack him up and leave him in despair for even having thoughts about Natalya in the past but he didn’t call him here for this purpose.

He wanted to get rid of that restriction placed on his soul as soon as possible.

By handing the spatial ring over to Alexi Ethren, a valid descendant of Old Man Garvin, he would be essentially getting rid of the Blood Soul Contract as he would be fulfilling one of the conditions. He didn’t need to search for those descendants anymore as it would become Alexi Ethren’s headache.

After that, he could plunder from Alexi Ethren since Old Man Garvin didn’t impose any rules about harming his descendants. Honestly, this was a loophole he could take advantage but the Wise Old Man Garvin didn’t impose this restriction on him, making him doubt Old Man Garvin’s intentions.

Was it trust in his character? Or was it something else entirely?

He didn’t know but knew that to him, plundering from Old Man Garvin’s descendants was in bad taste. He wouldn’t do it unless the descendant insisted on offending him.

For example, if Alexi Ethren still had his eyes on Natalya, Davis didn’t mind sending him to the Reincarnation Cycle.

’Oops, letting such a person enter the Reincarnation Cycle is letting them off easily... I don’t mind completely erasing their existence out of the universe...’ Davis coldly smiled.

With Fallen Heaven, telling it to absorb their spiritual souls would do the trick. Their existence would be erased and they would never reincarnate!

"I don’t want anything from you. It’s just that, I have business with this necklace that you have on you."

Alexi Ethren became taken aback before he inclined his head. The green necklace came into his view, glittering ever so slightly from the reflection of the sunlight.

"This necklace? This is something my mas... mother gave me... What do you want to do with it?" Alexi Ethren asked.

Although he was reluctant to part with it, if it could somehow connect him to matters that could save his mother, then he would gladly hand it over.

"I don’t want it." Davis shook his head.

When he looked at Alexi Ethren’s knowing expression, he felt compelled to inform, "Neither does senior want your necklace..."

"Then..." Alexi Ethren’s expression became pale.

Doesn’t that mean he was just called to see his necklace?

Wasn’t this just ridicule?

He wasn’t a woman for heaven’s sake!

But before anger could take over him, Davis continued as he threw a spatial ring to him.

"Your ancestor tasked me to give this spatial ring to a person who has this necklace."

The spatial ring flew midair and stopped right in front of Alexi Ethren’s face. He blinked his eyes and used his soul force to capture it in his grasp and manipulate it to enter over his finger before forming a soul connection.

When he sent his senses inside the spatial ring, his entire body shook as his eyes widened from shock.

Looking at his over the edge reaction, Davis became curious but he didn’t interfere since he found it lowly to confer and plunder. However, he became heartened that he fulfilled one of the two conditions imposed by Old Man Garvin.

He had finished the second condition, and as per the first condition, he only needed to take revenge for Old Man Garvin. For that, he probably has to enter the Emperor Sword Sect Territory.

Nevertheless, now wasn’t the time.

Old Man Garvin had given him thousands of years’ time limit. Why would he act on it soon? He initially thought that he wouldn’t even find Old Man Garvin’s descendant for more than a hundred years but to his fortune, he found two at the Ethren Empire, although one was on the verge of dying.

"This... This!? Ancestor? The ancestor of the Ethren Empire?" Alexi Ethren asked with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Davis became unamused but he could understand Alexi Ethren’s shock.

"Didn’t you just say that the necklace is from your mother?"

Alexi Ethren’s eyes cleared as he turned to glance at his mother but he shook his head, muttering impossible as seconds passed.

"But... But that scum said mother was a woman from a Kingdom that possessed Sky Grade Power... How can it be possible for my mother to be from an Emperor Grade Power!?"

"Why are you asking me that? You should ask your mother..." Davis trailed off mid-sentence as his eyes flashed red.

It wasn’t him doing it manually but it was reacting to some phenomenon!

His Death God Eyes viewed Alexi Ethren before it fell on Arianna Woller, only to see her lifespan thread extend at a rapid pace!

’Fuck!’ Davis cursed inwardly as he became startled this time.

’Did my actions somehow change Arianna Woller’s lifespan? But... How? Her vitality is still the same... It is constantly weakening even though her lifespan thread is extending...’

’Ah, her lifespan thread stopped extending... Around ten thousand years!? You must be kidding!’

Davis recognized the thickness and the length of the lifespan thread and inferred the approximate lifespan of Arianna Woller from it. However, he didn’t know how this dying woman had such a big lifespan thread when it was little over a centimeter a few seconds ago.

Just when he was still in doubt, Alexi Ethren’s expression changed as lips expressed joy. A small jade container appeared on his palm. It had a furnished and refined look to it, not to mention its deep aura that made Davis’s eyes wide in astonishment.

Alexi Ethren opened the container without delaying a second. The moment it opened, undulations spread! Its quality neared the High-Level of Eighth Stage, almost about to spread the undulations outside the residence since the exit was near.

He didn’t delay. He took the red-orange pill out of the container and instantly fed it to his mother as he opened her jaw and guided the pill into her system with his soul force.

Davis narrowed his eyes, looking for any other changes in Arianna Woller.

In fact, even Alexi Ethren held his breath as he looked at his mother. He didn’t confirm the authenticity of the pill but its undulations alone was enough to confirm that it was Mid-Level Emperor Grade Pill!

Besides, even if he had time, he didn’t have the means to confirm its authenticity, and could only search for the Grand Elder of the Thousand Pill Palace Branch but even then, he was not sure how much time it would take for its properties to be even verified.

His mother didn’t have much time or leisure!
