Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3797

"Stella, if you took more pills, it would become near impossible for you to complete all nine cycles and enter the Empyrean Stage." Shirley sweetly warned.

"Mhmmm~ I know…" Stella sulked, "But it was so tasty. I could feel entirely reinvigorated, and even my realm-building skills have undergone a complete change, allowing me to build it with more spatial coherence and mask its presence better within the myriad coordinates. I doubt even Mother would be able to find this realm if she is above the surface right now."

"That's wonderful to hear…"

Davis couldn't help but smirk.

The Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill's effects were only theorized when a human consumed it since the World Master was also human. Perhaps it had the same effect on other races, but what about special lifeforms like the Void Dust Tree?

Not only did Stella's prowess and energy capacity increase, but her innate abilities also underwent a massive change.

Although there didn't seem to be any change to the realm's size, as it was the same as what a Level Nine Void Dust Tree could build, it appeared as if its defensive and covert capabilities had gone through a significant advancement.

They all couldn't help but smile as this was the reason they had Stella absorb a Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill, even at the risk of her delaying her cultivation. After all, crossing cycles had just turned more difficult for her than it needed to be.

Of course, they could allow her to use the remaining Empyrean Stage Crystal Beast Cores that seamlessly increase cultivation, but then, it probably wouldn't be enough for her to reach the fifth cycle, much less the sixth cycle, so it was better used by others.

Once the realm was built, the others had the green signal to start swallowing their Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills. It was going to make a huge commotion, after all. Only Stella was authorized to absorb it because she could hide within her own realm without a problem.

Now, her strengthened realm could support others in performing breakthroughs as long as they don't invite a tribulation.

A tribulation was the last thing they needed to ruin their plans.

With that being the case, the chosen ones, like Tanya and Sophie, appeared in Stella's realm and began to refine the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills.

Apparently, it would take a few days to refine the pill, so he left them there and appeared on the surface, waiting for Evelynn again.

Half a day later, Myria appeared with a piece of good news.

She had successfully diluted the fourth Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill of Minor Realm, so Davis gave her the fifth pill to dilute as well.

"Yes!" Davis was overjoyed, and the others cheered.

Myria had converted one into four with twenty percent efficacy each. This would allow those who digest this pill to increase their prowess two levels higher.

It was quickly redistributed to Ellia, Dalila, Schleya and Tia.

They were overjoyed and began to digest the diluted pills, while the next batch arrived half a day later with even more efficiency.

This time, there were five pills with the same amount of efficacy, leading to much more cheers for Myria and Tina.

Tina became the recipient of the sixth Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill.

As for the fifth Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill split into five pills, it was redistributed to Fiora, Bylai, Zestria, Yilla, and Yotan.

Yotan was shocked. She didn't know what to say and declined the offer before she forcefully left, allowing it to end up in Niera's hands.

There was another incident— Fiora was still pregnant, so she couldn't digest it. She actually handed the pill over to Natalya, shocking everyone.

Natalya became a sobbing mess as she hugged her sister until she became annoyed by it.

Nonetheless, the recipients of the fourth and fifth Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills also began to refine, beginning to increase their prowess and energy capacity.

As for the seventh and final Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill of Minor Realm, Davis contemplated again and again until he reached a decision. He decided to give it to Zephya since it was the only way annihilative wind could be obtained unless he decided to provoke the heavens during someone's Immortal King Tribulation.

This should also help Fiora, who handed over her pill to Natalya.

It could be said this was one of the factors that moved him to give the seventh pill to Zephya.

However, the seventh pill was still with Evelynn, including a Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill of Lower Realm.

She had yet to arrive here, so he sent some scouts into the city again, this time disguised as the sect disciples who roam the outskirts of the Highnode Town bordering the Great Desolate Plains. They were from the Reaper Soul Legion, so they were able to blend in with a few sect disciples after silently kidnapping two immortal disciples.

There were hundreds and thousands of disciples in a sect, so it would be very difficult to differentiate. After all, when entering and exiting the Highnode Town in order to enter the Great Desolate Plains, one only needed to display their identity token.

They used that to their advantage and entered the Highnode Town.

Quickly, they obtained the necessary information.

After doing a sweep for two days and managing to kill around four assassins, the Heaven's Warriors finally left the Highnode Town. There were more assassins who seemed to have escaped after learning that the master of the Transcendent Truth Eyes was no longer present there.

This made Davis inform Evelynn to enter Highnode Town and make her way to the Great Desolate Plains.

However, it would prove to be difficult to have the Wesley Family open the gates to the Great Desolate Plains or allow the use of a small entrance for an outsider. Of course, paying a significant sum could allow them to enter the Great Desolate Plains, but then a trace would be left, so it would require them to be disguised or concealed as possible.

Fortunately, he gave a life ring to Threelotus and Captain Starlily. They were the two Reaper Soul Legion members he had sent.

The two of them picked up Evelynn and Zenova Artoria and, half a day later, finally left Highnode Town. Then they put the two disciples back where they belonged and finally gave them the antidote to the anesthesia that also caused loss of consciousness, leaving them stranded in a strange garden of hallucinative cactus Dalila prepared.

When they woke up, they would have no memory for the past few days and think they were hallucinating even over the slightest of memories that sprung up in their mind. Even if they remembered anything, who was going to believe them with their bodies full of spikes from the said cactus?

At least, Davis felt it was better than killing more innocent people. He wanted to avoid killing unrelated people as much as possible.

Nonetheless, he eagerly awaited like a starved person, watching the distance with wide, focused eyes even though he could clearly sense where her location was with the hex. The closer Evelynn got, the more he began to act like a dog wagging its tail, unable to curb his excitement.

After all, many things could have gone wrong, but beyond all odds, they couldn't have been found.

He had talented, loved ones who worked with him to seal any shortcomings, allowing them all to stay hidden, at least for the moment. If they all got together, then there was nothing to fear as Nyoran also returned with good news.

He was seeing hope, and that hope would be cemented the moment Evelynn arrived.

"…!"

In the distance, he finally saw Threelotus and Captain Starlily.

They were rather slow since they didn't use any flying boats, which would leave a bigger trail than flying by themselves. By this time, it was five days since they had appeared in the true immortal world.

As soon as they got closer, the figure burst out of Threelotus's Life Ring and dashed towards him with incredible speed before finally landing in his embrace. A pair of incredibly soft sensations attacked Davis's chest as he wrapped his hands around her waist and gave a deep, passionate kiss without even looking at who it was because he could tell that it was none other than Evelynn.

In the distance, Zenova Artoria also appeared out of nowhere.

If she wanted out of a Life Ring controlled by someone weaker than her, then they wouldn't be able to stop her from appearing, so she didn't care if she entered a Life Ring or not. Now that she was here, she wondered what kind of plan he had in mind to survive with his entire family, something she deemed impossible the moment she learned about his situation from Evelynn.
