Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 434 Structure Of The Tripartite Alliance

Davis glanced at Evelynn, wanting to know what she was thinking but he couldn’t guess. He abandoned his thoughts of prying and instead posed a question to Elder Valoi.

"Tell me about the Tripartite Alliance as well as its hierarchical structure."

"The Tripartite Alliance is the manifestation of the alliance between the three major Emperor Grade Powers. Alstreim Family, Towering Cloud Hall, and Falling Snow Sect."

"Due to the restriction placed on the Tripartite Alliance Territory, cultivators above the Seventh Stage are prohibited to enter, and in accordance with the restriction imposed, the upper echelon of the Tripartite Alliance could only be at Peak-Level Seventh Stage."

"The Tripartite Alliance is divided into three factions as a result of the three backers, and the three factions are further divided into the inner and outer circle."

"The people who hold the most authority in the Tripartite Alliance are the Grand Elders of the three factions."

"Below them, there are Elders from the inner circle, followed by the Elders from the outer circle."

"The Elites of the inner circle possess the same status as the Elders of the outer circle."

"The ordinary members of the inner circle possess the same status as the Elites of the outer circle."

"The ordinary members of the outer circle are at the lowest rung, but even they are the Fourth Stage."

Davis’s eyes flashed as many thoughts filled his head.

Restriction... Grand Elder... Elders... Elites...

He took the keywords and contemplated over while he understood the hierarchy.

Grand Elders... Peak-Level Seventh Stage...

He hasn’t met an existence of that cultivation base yet.

He suddenly thought back and garnered that Elder Severin should be an Elder of the inner circle.

It made sense with how pompous he behaved...

And Mulia and Hadian could likely be considered Elites of the inner circle with their relevant statuses. As for Uncle Erik, maybe he could be considered a senior elite of the inner circle.

Back when he had Elder Severin’s soul body in his grasps, Davis couldn’t reveal the existence of Fallen Heaven to Old Man Garvin, so he hadn’t made any suspicious move like casting a slave seal on Elder Severin through Fallen Heaven, afraid that he would get caught.

This is also why he didn’t know much about the Tripartite Alliance. Besides, with the torture he had imposed upon Elder Severin for learning about the soul, the latter had already turned retarded.

Then, there was a restriction imposed on the Tripartite Alliance...

Davis turned suspicious.

"Why is there a restriction placed on the Tripartite Alliance Territory, leaving Eighth Stage Cultivators unable to enter?" He asked but he knew he wouldn’t receive the truth from an elder who seemed like he belonged to the outer circle.

"Many say that it is to stop further conflict between the Alliance. It is from the philosophy that the bigger the conflict, the more easier it is for the Alliance to shatter."

Davis understood this point. If a conflict at the level of Eighth Stage Powerhouses were to break out, it is easier for the alliance to fall apart.

However, he didn’t believe that was all to it.

Whether it was a secret to hide a treasure or a terrifying secret of a hidden existence or whether to curb other higher stage experts from entering the Grand Sea Continent, Davis wasn’t disturbed.

He wasn’t an Eighth Stage Expert. This matter still had nothing to do with him. He could begin pondering on this after he had reached the Eighth Stage.

He casually threw the matter to the back of his head and asked, "What do you know about the Alstreim Family Territory?"

"The Alstreim Family Territory is rich in resources. Its human population amounts to around a hundred billion at any given point on time. Its landmass spans about 30 billion square kilometers of which more than 60% is occupied by the ocean. The territory is ruled by the Alstreim Family, an Emperor Grade Power."

Around a Hundred Billion Humans? Not bad...

Davis inwardly mused and didn’t bicker with the little information that was provided. This was in line with what he heard from his mother, Claire.

With hundreds and thousands of people dying or going missing every day, the population fluctuates all the time.

If it were stable, with people living for thousands of years, the population would have shot the roof and amounted to the trillions.

To this point, Davis didn’t have a doubt in his information.

Even the Grand Sea Continent had a population of a few tens of billions. If it weren’t for the nature of cultivators lying in violence, the population could have well been in the trillions since it can accommodate that many people.

Planet Earth only had a landmass of 510 million square kilometers, including the ocean yet it can accommodate billions of humans.

What else needs to be said about Grand Sea Continent which had a landmass of more than 10 billion square kilometers?

What else needs to be said about the territories in the First Layer? The population could only grow higher or stabilize, even with all the bloodshed and misery.

With people proliferating like Elder Valoi, one couple should be able to birth hundreds of children in their lifetime.

Of course, he had no doubt that there’s also a chance for the population to drop in times of chaos.

Davis nodded his head as he felt that the information he received was enough and extended his hand.

"Enter the vial..."

The soul body shook and flew into the vial as it regressed to a small form, trying to enter the vial.

The soul body flexibly entered once it’s entire body sank into the vital while Davis simultaneously sealed the opening with the lid and threw the vial into his spatial ring.

"What is a Mystic Diviner?" Evelynn finally posed the question she had in her mind.

Davis glanced at her and saw her face which indicated she no longer had doubts over Elder Valoi’s life.

He paused for a second before attempting to explain whatever he knew about a Mystic Diviner.

"...A Mystic Diviner is a profession and people who master it are either welcomed massively or ostracized heavily depending upon the danger they possess."

"They can divine a danger of a task, divine future prospects, divine your past as long as they are powerful than you and has control over the three laws."

"Space, Time and Karma..."

Evelynn slowly let out a gasp, ’There were people like that?’

"Able to see one’s future and past? Isn’t that basically cheating?"

Davis shook his head, "I don’t know the specifics but they should be limited by a lot of obstruction from numerous sources, otherwise, wouldn’t they be the rulers by now?"

Evelynn slowly nodded her head as if she was pondering.

"Forget it, let’s go eat downstairs."

Davis noticed her expression which said she was pondering but she gave no comment but instead said ’forget it’?

This told him that she was disinclined to talk about this topic but he could understand that as well. Her curiously was only to the point whether it concerned her well being or not.

He nodded his head and both wore black robes over their normal attire. They then exited the room and headed downstairs.

As they made their way down three floors, many other black-robed figures were walking past them, even along the hallways.

But Davis and Evelynn were not surprised as they crossed past them without batting an eyelid.

Apparently, Anido City hosted the most criminals and miscreants, and the Theo Inn they stayed at was the most secretive inn that was established.

In this place, it was an unwritten rule to not bother anyone who was dressed in black-robes unless necessary!
