Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-66

"It will only be a legend here though... The world is huge after all." Davis commented after finishing his laugh.

Logan contemplated his words before he said, "Hmm... That's a pessimistic view but you're right. We shouldn't be narrow-minded and set our sights here, instead, we should set our sights on the outside world."

"Speaking of the outside world... I wonder how huge it is?" Davis thought as he looked at the sky.

"Who knows... It could be a world smaller than our continent for all we know." Logan grinned as he joked.

"Haha, our continent itself is massive, to say much less of the outside world!" Davis laughed.

"I wonder how big our continent is?" Ellia, who was standing behind, questioned to herself as she heard their conversation.

Davis who heard that looked at her and smiled as he said.

"Our Continent is around 600,000 km long, including the Grand Sea which is almost 100,000 km long."

"That huge!??" Ellia was visibly dumbfounded. She never left the Royal Capital and her knowledge of the continent was very less compared to the Royal Family.

Davis nodded his head, "Yes. Most of the territories are occupied by the Sky Grade Empires such as ourselves."

"For example. our Loret Empire has many powers under its jurisdiction, such as the Alfred Kingdom, Maxwell Kingdom and many other powers."

"I don't understand..." Ellia had a confused expression on her face.

Davis sighed as he said, "Look, a Sky Grade Empire has various powers under its authority. Ours is an Empire, so we have many Kingdoms under our territory which have subordinated themselves to us, like the Alfred Kingdom. Not only that, Sects, Organizations, Families are all under our subordination as well. Only other Sky Grade powers such as Sky Grade Sects and Organization can escape from our grasp if they stay in our territory, like the Piercing Dragon Sect and Ruthless Sword Sect."

"Oh! I get it.." Her expression was one of understanding as she nodded her head like a rabbit.

"Good, are you prepared to compete in the Grand Sea Continent Meet?" Davis laughed and questioned.

"I am!" A determined expression appeared on her face as she said that.

"Alright then, let's make your cultivation breakthrough to the Iron Stage!" Davis held her shoulders as he said that.

"Yes!" Ellia nodded her head with renewed resolution.

'I want to be with you no matter what!' She thought as her determination grew.

...

2 months passed as they voyaged through the Grand Sea to arrive at an Island known as Gathering of the Elites, also known as Gote Island.

"Finally, we arrived after a long journey!" Ellia said as she stretched her small body.

"The heaven and earth energy here is dense!" Davis commented as he tried to absorb the energy greedily.

"Of course, this is a formation set up by the Guardian Alliance, its effects are as great as it could be." Logan who was on the side commented. But his face immediately turned solemn at the mention of the Guardian Alliance.

All 3 of them were standing on the deck as they enjoyed the scenery of the Island.

The Guardian Alliance is the one who hosts this competition. They were the ones who mostly protect the continent from the invasion of the outsiders.

One could join the Guardian Alliance if one can successfully breakthrough to the Fifth Stage, at least in any one of the Cultivation Systems.

Usually, on the surface, the Guardian Alliance doesn't interfere with the affairs of the Continental struggle.

If they move, then they will move secretly in the shadows to maintain their upright and moral image on the surface. So no one dares to offend the Guardian Alliance, afraid that they might be targeted secretly.

Actually, even if someone wants to destroy or give trouble to them, then they can't, because it is the strongest Alliance in the continent, albeit, the alliance doesn't work together before the event. The Guardian Alliance only starts moving five years before the invasion. Until then, their members will be on standby.

Logan's father was also a top member of the Guardian Alliance but sadly, he died, leaving the Loret Empire without any standing in the Guardian Alliance.

This placed Logan on a tough position as he couldn't do as he please during this visit. He had no backing here, after all.

The other emperors were a part of the Guardian Alliance. They feared the Loret Empire because of the unknown senior, but here, they could team up and strut around their might.

Logan was worried about that as he still hasn't joined the Guardian Alliance, neither did he have the chance to do so.

Because other than having a Fifth Stage Cultivation, one is required to have achievements in killing the outsiders during the invasion.

Only after this upcoming invasion would he have the rights to join the Guardian Alliance.

"Guardian Alliance eh? A group of hypocrites..." Davis sneered.

"It is only their right... The strong grow stronger while the weak grow weaker." Logan shook his head.

"Father has a point," Davis replied as he looked at the Gote Island. He scanned the surrounding of the Island with his naked eyes.

There were a lot of ships carrying the symbol of each empire, docked in the middle of the ocean, near the Island. Each ship was the same as their Sky Grade Ship.

"Looks like they arrived long ago..." Davis muttered as he narrowed his eyes.

"Of course, some would have even arrived half a year early." Logan scoffed.

"What? Why would they?" Ellia yelled as she clearly couldn't understand why some empires would arrive half a year earlier.

"Because of the dense heaven and earth energy!" Davis replied.

"Ahh, I see! How stupid of me..." Ellia put her head down in shame.

"It's alright, you don't know much about the outside world. No need to be ashamed of yourself if you can't figure out something yourself that is so simple for now. Remember Ellia, one step at a time." Davis said as he lectured her like a tutor.

Logan who was one the side looked at the two of them weirdly.

'Is he the prince? Or is she the princess?' He thought amusingly.
