Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2295 Confidential?

Chapter 2295 Confidential?

"…"

The crowd became astounded before they couldn't help but smile.

Just what kind of figure was Davis? He had practically received the majority of the people's approval as the strongest youth in the Grand Beginnings Continent, so how could he remain and waste his life here?

They knew it was only a matter of time before he soared to the ascended world, and the heights he would reach remained unpredictable.

Claire's eyes couldn't help but tear up even though she knew this fact.

"My son… you must prioritize your safety at all times..."

Davis couldn't help but emotionally smile as he nodded, "I will, mother. So don't cry..."

Raising his hand, he wiped the tears that were flowing down her face before he hugged her gently, patting her head. Forgetting the fact that she was truly his mother, to this kind soul who made him feel familial love and eternally changed his view on the world from one of an indifferent spectator to a passionate individual with her motherly love, he would always be grateful.

"The Vacuous Beasts in the First Haven World would have also been dealt with at this point, so don't worry."

Claire nodded her head while she snuggled in his embrace. However, what she worried about was not those mindless beasts but the people of the First Haven World. Moreover, she knew her own worth and talent, but her son was not the same. His talent was almost limitless.

She wasn't a fool.

When Davis was born, there was nothing special about him but three years later, he returned and revealed the fact that he had his previous life's memories. From that very moment onwards, she knew that her son didn't share her ordinary fate, and just like she imagined, he had achieved extraordinary feats while being very young, successfully venturing into the Tripartite Alliance and returning back to the Loret Family safely, brought them all to the Alstreim Family and subdued the Ancestor with his charisma and power as he brought punishment to her enemies.

Even though he met with a mishap halfway to his current peak of being acknowledged by the entire Grand Beginnings Continent as their savior, she knew that it was just a slight setback.

This fact was only consolidated when she knew that her son was someone of unforeseeable fate as she learned about Divergents from Tia.

Therefore, she was a little bit terrified, afraid that he might meet some bad people who purely wished harm upon him as she was convinced that his destiny was in the immortal world.

Meanwhile, Logan, who was beside them, couldn't help but stop feeling prideful as he watched his first son command the rain and wind while everyone remained respectful to him.

This reminded him of the time when Davis left for the Grand Beginnings Continent when he had nothing, daring to venture out with no help and yet, finally standing atop of the mortal world hegemony in a short two decades.

When he saw the little Davis cultivating so hard and fast, he wondered if he would punch a hole in the skies and ascend. Turns out that he really was going to do that, causing him to feel nostalgic and unimaginably cocky to no end.

After all, this was his son! Even his own cultivation had reached the peak of Law Sea Stage as a result, yet he could kill Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses with his current prowess. If it weren't for the top-tier resources his son provided him, how could he grow so strong?

He couldn't stop smiling. But at the same time, he also revealed some sadness in his eyes.

"I truly wish to see your growth with my own eyes, Davis. However, I will remain and protect your mother and siblings so that you don't have anything to worry about."

"Father…"

Davis stepped back from his mother and turned to look at his father, smiling lightly.

He didn't talk to them about going to the First Haven World, but they had already decided that they wouldn't go with him. After all, he couldn't focus on many people. Moreover, Davis knew that his father had had a huge love for adventures, so to miss the opportunity to enter the First Haven World was like squashing his own passion, so he didn't expect this answer from his father.

'Looks like they already talked about it...'

"Father and mother don't need to stay here for eternity. Give me a hundred years or so, and I'll see if I could return. If I don't come back in a hundred years, then ascend. Surely, your legends wouldn't just come to an end here."

"Legends?" Logan couldn't help but chuckle.

His legends had ended in the Grand Sea Continent. Further on was his son's sole rise into immortality. That alone made him joyous.

Claire also lightly laughed as she sniffled, shaking her head, "Silly child. We can't help you, but we won't burden you either. You've done enough for us."

"Ah, don't brush this off as though this is the last filial duty I can do for you two." Davis raged as he raised his hand, "Honestly, I would like to take you all with me, but I know I'm not strong enough. When I think I'm strong enough, I will naturally return and take you all back. However, I want father and mother to know that if I don't come back, then ascend and improve yourselves."

"You can't be stuck as mortals forever, and you can't control my siblings and our Alstreim Family's descendants to stay as they become powerful themselves in the name of protecting them."

Logan and Claire had their mouths agape while being lectured by their impassioned son.

On the other hand, Davis quickly turned to look at another beautiful blonde-haired woman draped in a gorgeous red robe.

"Second mother, wasn't your dream to become an Immortal?"

"Ha?" Nora flinched as she didn't expect Davis to suddenly look at her.

"Then make sure that you become an immortal and influence your husband and big sister to become immortals as well. Otherwise, don't you think life will be sad above?"

"Y-Yes…"

Nora didn't know what to answer as she subconsciously responded.

"Good."

Davis brightly smiled before he walked away as though nothing had happened.

Logan, Claire, and Nora looked at each other, blinking their eyes before they naturally smiled. It seemed that Davis was unwilling to part just like them, hiding his emotions behind the veil of a responsible individual.

"Well said, Davis. I was about to make the same mistake, not letting the youths of our family make progress in the name of protecting them."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim awaited at the stage together with Ancestor Tirea Snow, both of them smiling at him.

"It's not a mistake." Davis shook his head, "I don't know what I would be doing in the First Haven World, so if people learned that immortals of the Alstreim Family had reached, they would potentially use them to threaten me. I would like to impose a ban on ascendance on our family for a hundred years if you allow it."

"Consider it already in place."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim answered without any hesitation whatsoever, causing Davis to smile deeply.

He turned to look at the crowd that had gathered today and opened his mouth, his voice rising.

"Everyone, the Alstreim Family had transformed from a Mid-Level Emperor Grade Power to a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Power, a hegemon in two short decades after my arrival. I think I have done a good job bringing honor to our ancestors that I've never paid respects to in this way, don't you agree? Well, even the Founder, who isn't present at this time, agrees with me. Therefore, we have collectively decided to impose a ban on the Alstreim Family's growth into immortality for a short hundred years."

Everyone became shocked at Davis's words. However, he still continued.

"Why? Because I don't want you all to die a wrongful death because I'm ninety-nine percent sure that you'll die if you try to ascend within a hundred years."

"…"

"Even after hundred years, that number might slightly or significantly decrease. It all depends on what I have done, as everyone should be aware of how well the world doesn't appreciate the usage of Death Laws. Chances are that I and anyone even the slightest bit related to me would be hunted down, and I'm going to assume information about me has already spread in the First Haven World, so don't ever try to ascend unless you want to experience a world worse than death."

The youths of the Alstreim Family: Kayan Alstreim and Kayale Alstreim of the Burning Sea Brigade, Ravalat Alstreim and Claudius Alstreim from the Brilliant Flame Corps, all of them felt a terrifying chill in their spines even though they had already become Law Rune Stage Powerhouses with immense prowess capable of surmounting two levels.

They were at the top of their generation and imagined that immortality was within reach in less than two or three decades but hearing their idol's words as they sank into their very soul, they understood that they had missed a crucial detail.

He, the Emperor of Death, their idol, had exceeded any legends, practically overcoming the calamity as he annihilated thousands of immortals. Even more compassionate immortals would want to learn his techniques and secrets by looting him, so what needs to be said about others? Moreover, would they let someone strong as him grow right under their noses?

They weren't naive and knew how powers operated and kept their powers from waning in the sands of time. It was by gathering resources into their camp and crushing geniuses of other powers; the two most done things for a power to quickly reach golden heights in the cultivation world.

Davis panned his gaze and saw that everyone took his words to heart. He wondered if it would keep their ambitions at ease for a while before he opened his mouth again.

"Remember, everything spoken here is confidential. However, there is one thing I would like for to exit this hall. That is… spread the word to the Grand Beginnings Continent that I, the Emperor of Death, will ascend tomorrow at sunset."

"Sure."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but quickly answer as he possessed a lax smile, but then, his expression changed as he swiveled his head towards Davis.

"What!?"

Instantly, everyone couldn't help but look at Davis as though he was crazy. After all, who in their right mind would reveal the date of their own heavenly tribulation in fear of being sabotaged!?
