Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 862 Fate Derailed?

"I can’t thank master and uncle master enough for the kindness that has been graced upon me." Tina Roxley suddenly bowed.

However, she was quickly caught by the shoulders by her master.

"What are you saying? You are like my own daughter. There’s no need to be like this..." Brandis Mercer became emotional as he rubbed Tina Roxley’s head, his eyes flashing with a nostalgic emotion.

He had a family once, but they all ended up dead when he made a mistake by offending a powerful family. Even though he had escaped and killed all of them, what is lost cannot be returned or taken back. From then on, life hadn’t been the same for him. He was mindless for a time before he took on a dying alchemist and inherited that alchemist’s will to reach the peak of alchemy one day, although, after some time, he had been forced to learn the discrepancy and the truth of the world.

It was just too difficult to improve in alchemy!

"Then... Can I call master, father?" Tina Roxley’s eyes became moist.

Brandis Mercer became stunned as she looked at her feeble visage.

His only disciple, Tina Roxley, had poisoned and killed her own father to save herself and her little sister. Although she had no choice but to kill her father, it was inevitable. He felt that such a father shouldn’t exist and didn’t blame his disciple one bit.

Actually, he felt that it was his fault as well. If only he had taken action sooner. Otherwise, Tina Roxley wouldn’t have to carry the burden of killing her own father.

He abruptly laughed, "What do you mean if you can call me father? Master or father, it’s all the same! You can call me whatever you want!"

"Father..." Tina Roxley voiced out, her voice laden with thousands of emotions.

Her blood father had been a scum, but this father figure remained the best father she could ever have!

Aurelius smiled as he looked at his sworn brother, but he felt that it was finally time to bring it up, "Niece, it is actually strange."

Tina Roxley came out of reverie, and subconsciously replied as she smilingly teased, "What is strange? The way our relationships have become different now?"

Brandis Mercer and Aurelius were like sworn brothers when they were young. They each had their own path to follow, so they eventually split up before swearing to be sworn brothers when they meet again.

Around two thousand and five hundred years later, they reunited in the Xuan Empire, and even though their status was entirely different, the way they interacted didn’t change at all.

That was how Tina Roxley was also familiar with Aurelius as she had seen him once with her master when she was around twenty-five years old.

"Not that... I meant your future. Oh, now, it is already the past." Aurelius chuckled.

"Even though my comprehension was lacking in Karma Laws around twenty-five years ago, I am confident that when I divined your future, it is more likely to happen. How can your fate be so derailed from the pathway that the heavens had decided for you?"

Tina Roxley descended into silence as the reflection in her pupils became chaotic.

She couldn’t help but recall the time when her uncle master, Mystic Diviner Aurelius, had divined her future in the past, and in that future was also where she saw her fated one, the man she would choose to elope with, a youth hidden behind a mask.

[

In the Thousand Pill Association of the Xuan Empire, Grand Elder Brandis Mercer’s room.

After the reunion of Brandis Mercer who was the Grand Elder of the Thousand Pill Association and Aurelius, who is an unknown Mystic Diviner at that time, Aurelius bragged that he was a Mystic Diviner who is able to divine the past, present, and future of people, and Tina Roxley, who merely sat towards the side in an obedient manner became the scapegoat of the divination show.

"Stop! What if something happened!? Aren’t Mystic Diviners know to be all scammers? How can I let you do something stupid to my disciple!?" Brandis Mercer raged.

"Calm down," Aurelius advised.

"With my skills, I can only divine people who are below the Fifth Stage. The more powerful they are, the harder it is for me to divine. Besides, divining isn’t simple. One’s own blood essence is the price to be paid. After all, not everyone can see through fate even if they possess the skill. The reason why I chose your disciple as it will require less blood essence to divine a person at the Revolving Core Stage."

"Besides, look at your disciple. Her face clearly says that she wants to know her future!"

Indeed...

Tina Roxley’s face was lit up from the time that her uncle master was going to divine her future. His expression that was originally a bit desolate lit up as if it were a candle. It sparkled with a kind of hope that she previously never possessed.

Brandis Mercer looked became hesitant on looking at his disciple’s expression. He knew that her mother and elder sister had a big impact on her life when they died. He also knew what kind of a man her father is, but he was helpless to intrude into the internal affairs of his disciple’s rotten family.

Honestly, he was afraid that he would commit a massacre like the last time he did when his family was killed, and there were too many things to consider, such as his disciple’s emotions, so he didn’t make a move yet.

"What do you say?" Aurelius asked with a smile.

"Yes, please divine my future!" Tina Roxley replied with a determined expression on her face.

Aurelius’s expression became solemn.

"A fair word of warning, martial niece. I will only be able to look into around twenty years into the future with my skills, but in these twenty years, if you witness your death or something else that is deeply impactful, it might even give you a heart demon that might twist your emotions, make your cultivation stagnate and bestow you with other worse outcomes."

"Despite possessing this power, I haven’t looked into my own future as it is greatly harmful to me. However, it isn’t the same if I divine others. Nevertheless, one’s future shouldn’t be easily looked into... Are you prepared?"

Tina Roxley became stunned. However, would her future be worse than her current situation? She wanted to see and form whatever countermeasures she could!

Her lips moved, "I am prepared! Even if I see my death, I understand that it is inevitable!"

"Alright." Aurelius nodded his head, "If you want the best results, then condense a drop of your blood essence for me to use. If not, it will be very difficult for me to divine your future, and the technique might fail."

Tina Roxley possessed an understanding expression on her face once she heard the last words since she understood that his request had something to do with using Karma Laws.

She didn’t say anything and just lifted up her finger. She roused the blood from her heart and made a hole on her finger with the other hand. The blood from her heart traveled through her body before it shot out of the hole on her finger, coalescing into a tiny drop of blood that radiated an immense might.

"Very good! Your determination is commendable and has even spread to me, making me no longer hesitant!" Aurelius encouraged before he brought out a black rectangular basin that was filled with... water.
