Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3479

"Hahahaha!"

Davis couldn't help but suddenly burst into a fit of laughter.

"…"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and the others wondered if something had happened to Davis as his laugh really did sound strange.

Indeed, Davis was laughing like an idiot.

He was thinking how funny this was. After all, to come here and get back his family, they couldn't find any other way than to use Fairy Thunderblaze's path.

However, her path may have accidentally disabled the ascension mechanic of the grand formation.

This meant that to leave the Grand Beginnings Continent with his family, Davis had no choice but to trample on Founder Alstreim Windstorm, and from Fairy Thunderblaze's words, his lifespan would be drained the more people would be brought back.

He guessed that even Fairy Thunderblaze wouldn't have expected the ascension mechanic to fail. However, her decision to seal Founder Alstreim Windstorm and sacrifice him to the iridescent vortex was hated by him, but it ironically gave him and his family a way out.

Davis didn't know whether to continue to laugh or cry or slap himself.

Did he owe Fairy Thunderblaze an apology now for her being so thorough with her methods?

Or should he lament Founder Alstreim Windstorm's fate that was hanging by a thread? After all, he really didn't want to leave his people here.

A while later, his laughter died down, giving him some time to think about alternative ways to exit the Grand Beginnings Continent.

One of them was to exit through the path and hope the ascension mechanism worked again, so Diana and Wayn Nolan could bring everyone else with their ascension.

The other was to…

'See if Evelynn's inheritance palace can once again be used to transport people to the First Haven World…'

He imagined the connection the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Empress worked so hard to build would've disappeared after they used it to travel. However, if by some luck, it still remained, then he believed with the amount of immortal crystals they were carrying, re-energizing wouldn't be a problem.

'Only if the connection remains…'

Davis inwardly sighed.

"Davis…"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim called out to him, causing Davis to come out of his reverie.

"Oh, if it's about the illusion or the danger upon ascension, one doesn't need to worry anymore as that has been taken care of."

"Woah~~"

Everyone cheered when hearing that from the Divine Emperor of Death itself. They dared not call that name since they learned it was kind of cursed by the heavens.

"But when would this strange restriction that disallows us to ascend come off?" The Karmic Guardian Emperor asked.

"That… I don't know, and good luck."

Davis waved his sleeves and bid goodbye.

"Look at me," Davis uttered once again.

It caused Evan to turn silent with a flinch before he tremblingly looked at Davis.

"Whose third brother are you?" Edward interrupted from the side.

"…" Evan blinked adorably, "The Emperor of Death's…?"

Davis couldn't help but smile as his third brother seemed to have heard about him. He also seemed to be responsive to Edward, who continued, "Then be brave. There's no one here who will offend you or scare you except our mother, so raise your head high and make her proud. Do you understand?"

"…"

Evan turned to look at Davis again, but he still didn't react. He stared at Davis with his cute purple eyes and black hair. It seemed that he was scared of the blonde hair Davis shared with his mother.

But suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and uttered, "I want to defeat you."

"…?"

Davis blinked. There was a lag in his brain before he couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha~ That's interesting."

He thought Evan was scared and introverted, but it seems like his third brother was planning to have a face-off with him and, hence, was scared. His words garnered the shock of the day, while Laura appeared to be impressed as she smiled sweetly.

"That's fine." Davis smirked at Evan and patted his head, "However, you would have a bit of growing up to do first."

"I'm going to become four! I only need…" Evan suddenly counted his fingers, appearing to calculate, "… like twenty-thirty years. Do you dare accept my challenge?"

"…"

At this point, Davis had to wonder who fed him heroic stories of cultivators, including his own, as his third brother seemed to have set his sights on him to defeat the legendary first brother to prove himself.

"I accept your challenge. If you run away, I'm gonna whoop your ass."

"Davis~"

"Big brother~"

Everyone addressed him for picking on a child, but Davis looked at Evan seriously, causing Evan to also give a solemn nod.

The cuteness alone made Davis want to laugh out loud, but he didn't belittle his third brother.

Davis smiled and turned to look at Laura. She was an adorable one, too, but he didn't know how to interact with her as she kept to herself.

He turned to look at Edward, raising his brows.

"Are you not going to challenge me?"

"Big brother, did you not have enough of whopping my ass in the name of training?" Edward blinked.

"Hahaha. You learned to loosen up, Edward. Good!"

Davis patted Edward's shoulder, causing the latter to smile with a bit of joy as he had just been acknowledged by his first brother.

Meanwhile, Evan gawked as he looked at his second brother giving up.

Was his first brother, who was said to have become an immortal, truly that great?

After dealing with his family members, Davis bid a short farewell and took Evelynn to the Poison Rift Valley, where the inheritance of the Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid lay in slumber, or was it...?
