Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 612 Found The Source!

Tia Alstreim pursed her lips as she looked at her father’s grin.

When the first time the Whispers of Fate phenomenon happened to her, she heard something whisper in her mind. It told her to quickly head towards her mother. At that time, she was playing with her father and the sounds she heard in her mind were both incomprehensible and comprehensible to her at the same time.

It the sounds was to be described, these mysterious whispers were similar to listening to a scrambled radio signal fluctuations.

She instantly became scared and told her father who was beside her at that time, spending time with her like he always would at least five times a week.

Initially, Edgar Alstreim thought that someone pranked his daughter using Soul Transmission. He searched for soul force undulations but couldn’t find any and almost dismissed it as a child’s outburst.

But the next moment, he realized that there might be something deeper to it while discerning that his daughter Tia kept increasingly turning worse all of a sudden.

He listened to her words and hurriedly made his way to his bedroom and saw that Lia Alstreim was on the verge of taking the wrong medication; a wrong medicinal pill to her system.

Fortunately, he had stopped her in time, otherwise, he knew he would’ve lost her as well.

Lia Alstreim, his wife was originally someone who had accidentally crippled her Body Tempering Cultivation due to overdose of Body Tempering Cultivation pills. Combined with the intense training she did before, it completely collapsed her meridian and vein pathway, putting an end to her Body Tempering Cultivation.

As for her Energy Gathering Cultivation, it did not lessen but came to a halt. Hence, her body became weak and the apothecary prescribed her with a few medicinal pills, making her take care of her body.

As losers and two cripples in the Alstreim Family, it was like fate. They naturally met and developed feelings for each other over time. Even though they were of the same Alstreim Family, they were distantly related, hence their marriage was approved by most.

Surprisingly, their marriage was also approved by her powerful father. They even had the name, the ’Crippled Couple’ added to them in their wedding but they paid no heed to it.

Well, it wasn’t like all hope was lost. Her father was a powerful and influential man, even becoming an Envoy, hence, it could be said that it was just a matter of time before she gained the relevant ingredients to restore her crippled cultivation.

And as her husband, it could be said that he could also enjoy a similar treatment in the future.

The Whisper of Fate phenomenon did indeed rather appear timely because the loss of a mother to Tia, is indeed a huge event in her life that would change her views and her future path.

"Let’s go then..." Edgar spoke to his daughter and the latter gladly complied with his wishes.

Tia Alstreim walked around cautiously. She felt that she was already close to the unknown thing she was searching for, so she looked around the square, trying to find what had garnered her attention.

She suddenly felt an imperceptible tug in a direction, prompting her to look at a group of masked people who were also looking at her but she didn’t find it odd since people were staring at her all the time anyway.

What she found odd were those masks and a unique feeling she got from looking at them, because, the whispers in her head had considerably lessened!

She didn’t know what it meant but she had a feeling that it indicated that she had found the source!

======

Davis and the others noticed the two of them, the teenage girl and her father walking down the stairs. They were astonished as to why the two of them would even or decide to come in this direction.

To sightsee?

"Mother, let’s go..." Davis warned as he felt that it was not safe to stay anymore.

"Wait..." Claire softly bellowed, "...I want to see my father up close."

"In any case, aren’t we masked? I promise that I won’t speak to them!" She pleaded in a grievous tone.

Davis pursed his lips as he inwardly let out a sigh.

"Alright..."

The least he could do was allow his mother to gaze from afar, otherwise, he felt that he might be too cruel.

They then saw the teenage girl prance about, searching for something while being followed by her father. They became confused as to what exactly was here for them to search.

’Did they notice our presence?’ Davis thought but even he felt this to be nonsense.

They were so quite a distance away and their faces were masked. The other party was undoubtedly not a Supreme Soul Stage Expert, so it would be a miracle if they managed to pinpoint them.

Davis pursed his lips and suddenly thought of using Karma Laws to check how the Karma Threads would be when he used it in the avatar state.

With a twitch of his finger, he activated his Karma Laws.

However, the thread didn’t appear, neither did he witness even of a semblance of a thread materialize in his sight.

’Is it because I don’t have Fallen Heaven with me right now?’ Davis thought, almost giving up on this endeavor.

However, a sudden thought flashed across his mind.

’Well, it wouldn’t hurt to try...’

A few seconds later, a Karma Thread appeared in his view!

It connected towards the teenage girl who walked into his range,

The Karma Thread appeared to be pure white in color while connecting to him, not the colorless thread he usually saw on strangers.

However, when he moved his eyes to her figure, he became shocked to see that she was wrapped up by well over a million tiny threads, surrounding her as if she were enclosed in a pupa.

’What... What is this girl?’

Davis became very confused as to what he saw. This was the first time he witnessed these threads which formed a pupa over a human cultivator.

Davis didn’t know what to make of this and even thought that it was a problem occurring due to his long-distance connection with the original Davis with Fallen Heaven.

He no longer bothered about it as his gaze returned to her white thread that connected to him.

Before this, he imagined that the white color on the Karma Thread meant that they were acquainted but now, it seemed that it could also signify that they were related in some way, even from birth perhaps...

And he could understand that since this little girl seemed to be his mother’s half-sibling.

He quickly discerned that this meant that they were already connected by blood from birth.

As for the reason on why he was able to view the Karma Thread?

The original Davis in the Sunset Tear Mountain simultaneously activated Karma Laws using Fallen Heaven, and almost magically, since their soul was connected and originally the same, the avatar became able to see the Karma Threads.

However, Karma Thread was just a tangible phenomenon in which he only needed to see and observe the thread. To make any changes, like using Misdirection, Davis felt that he would likely fail.

And just at he expected, when he cast Misdirection on her Karma Thread, it failed. He was not able to tug or influence the Karma Thread in any way. No matter how he tried, his previously learned techniques didn’t work.

Davis heaved a sigh inwardly but then his expression froze when he noticed that the teenage girl was looking in their way with a curious gaze.
