Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4717  The Reflection Of His Image

"This… I don't know. My status doesn't allow me to be privy to the deepest layers of the soul. Perhaps… Yin Mo is capable of possessing that knowledge."

"Who is that?" Davis asked.

"He's the strongest among us. He is also here and possesses a High-Level Empyrean Stage corpse puppet. Although he cannot use it for long, he wouldn't be easy to battle him even for you two."

Fairy Thunderblaze and Davis's expressions were limited to a derisive smirk.

He opened his mouth, "You're so cooperative in betraying your fellow corpse cultivators. You weren't even made when we killed your group. Don't you have some morals or friendship?"

"They can't be called fellow cultivators. We're all corpses and are looking out for our own skin. We already died once, so we can't afford to die another time or disappear forever because we won't even have a chance to reincarnate. Besides, we could be considered the wicked path cultivators, if you know what that means, so our morals are already as low as they can be."

Yin Li then grumbled softly, "Besides, why must a corpse have morals?"

"Why must a corpse be living?" Davis shot back.

"Yes, I have some morals," Yin Li immediately changed his tone, "It will only go as far as it would help me maintain a clear consciousness, so I won't lose to the madness in me. Being a ghost or a corpse cultivator isn't as easy as one would think."

Davis nodded. He also had some recollection of that while he was in his Ghost Will form.

Yin Li's pale and thin face scrunched together in trepidation, feeling like the final verdict was going to arrive now.

Fairy Thunderblaze suddenly spoke, "The greatest differentiation between a righteous cultivator and a wicked cultivator is restraint. Although the former reeks of hypocrisy, you wouldn't say Savage Beasts are better than Magical Beasts who could be communicated with, right?"

"Yes." Yin Li immediately agreed, not arguing.

"Were you really from a righteous path power?" Davis asked her as he recalled her background.

It was possibly an Empire, ruled by her father.

"It was a mix of both, attuned to the times and circumstances." Fairy Thunderblaze proudly said, "A river that doesn't go with the flow ends up becoming a lake, still, shallow and contaminated, no longer lively."

Davis's sapphire eyes gleamed, "If you understand that, why do you have a problem with what I do based on the circumstances?"

Fairy Thunderblaze closed her mouth. However, she took a deep breath and her lips moved, "Because you're the Soul Supreme of Reincarnation, the Ruler of Chaos, the Harbinger of Destruction, and the Plunderer of the Heavens, the Divine Emperor of Death. By all right, you shouldn't even need to consider the circumstances, but be extremely willful."

"…!" Yin Li finally looked as though he had been struck by lightning.

He finally had a recollection of hearing about this title from one of the supreme geniuses he interacted with in a Shard Region. Like a corpse, he shivered as he cast a gaze at the purple-robed man beside him, his teeth nearly beginning to clatter.

An Anarchic Divergent!

Even as a corpse, he felt like he could faint!

"…"

Davis's jaw nearly dropped as he stared at her with his mouth closed shut.

His first thought was, 'When did I have these titles?'

Then he realized- this woman had her own fantastical version of him in her mind. He was dumbstruck.

When did this happen? Not only did she place him on a high pedestal with those titles, but her expectations for his growth were simply high and astounding.

Fairy Thunderblaze didn't elaborate. With a cold expression, she merely looked away and drew her lush black hair strand behind her ear.

Davis's heart shook as he felt his bearings nearly falter as he saw her majestic yet feminine countenance. This was an ambitious woman if he had ever seen one. From her words alone, he knew she had the idea of world domination in her mind and was looking for such a cultivation partner.

He already knew he ticked her requirements, but he never knew she went further and wanted to mold him into such a being.

Yet somehow, he felt himself being drawn to her ambitious nature as images of him and her dominating the world with their utter destructive nature came into his mind.

'Why must I endure temptation of this scale…?'

Davis drew a cold breath full of ghostly yin energy to calm himself down as he turned to look at Yin Li.

"You gave us worthy enough information to be spared. Begone and speak no word of our presence, or you shall die."

Davis reached out his hand towards Yin Li's head and cast a technique.

Karmic energy and death energy came together from his soul to form a judgment seal. The act of throwing corpse poison at him to make him suffer was worthy enough of death, even if it was weak. It was just like spitting at a person. Although it didn't cause any damage, the mental anguish and the irrational feeling of retaliatory nuclear strike that one would have in mind told the gravity of the sin.

Yin Li's pale and sunken face was already aghast like a corpse's, but this time, he practically withered as he felt the seal bind his soul.

He hurriedly nodded his head, not complaining. If it was just not to divulge their presence, he could accept it easily.

Yin Li hurriedly stood up and ran away. He didn't even remember to hover and fly.

Davis returned his gaze to Fairy Thunderblaze and smiled with a faint smirk, "Those titles sound good. Spread them as much as you can. People will finally forget the Divine Emperor of Death exists and think it is an organization of multiple people."

"Sure, I will help you." Fairy Thunderblaze nonchalantly said.

Davis gazed at her, wanting to break open her thoughts to uncover her true thoughts. Ultimately, he inwardly sighed, deciding against it once again.

No matter how high the temptation was, he was a family man. He couldn't possibly invite this beautiful yet dangerous woman into the harem. He had a feeling- no, fully knew she would kick up a storm and cause a breakdown.

Unlike Isabella, who was sensitive to soft words, Fairy Thunderblaze would only get more overbearing the more someone spoke softly to her, and she was used to imposing her Will on her subordinates. Who was to say that she wouldn't do the same for her sisters?

Davis didn't want to deal with such a thing.

She already made it clear once that he needed to demote his harem to concubines if he wanted her. He couldn't even think of it, much less consider it. To him, that very suggestion was offensive in the first place.

"Let's go."

Davis gestured with a wave of his hand and headed deeper into this region. Fairy Thunderblaze followed him.
