Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-867

Aurelius became increasingly tempted at the thought of becoming the world's best Mystic Diviner. Perhaps, he could even eventually reach the top in the Heaven Gazing Sect and reign over the masses in the future!

However, the problem is, the Fate Discarnate Soul appeared on his martial niece, who now became his niece as his sworn brother had accepted her as his own daughter. 

He began to feel conflicted. 

If it were any other person, he would've robbed the other person's soul by now with his unorthodox methods and used it in his divination activities in the future, making him reign the profession of Mystic Diviner in the end.

Aurelius's thoughts rapidly churned in his 'sleep'!

By the time he came out of his reverie, he 'woke' up. When he opened his eyes as if he had just become conscious, he looked around and saw that he was sleeping on a bed in his room. Furthermore, a woman was taking care of him, gently wiping his forehead.

The soft white hand moved away from his sight, and he saw that it was none other than Tina Roxley. 

He didn't know what and all happened around him. After all, he sealed his senses, not letting his heart rate fluctuate or soul undulations escape.

Tina Roxley lightly smiled and nodded her head as she took away the cloth and squeezed it above a basin that seemed to hold the dirt. Near that dirty basin was another circular basin that seemed to be filled with diluted medicinal liquid.

Tina Roxley kept the cloth on an empty silver plate and grasped a bottle which held a pill that seemed to a radiate a unique medicinal fragrance, "Master said to take this medicinal pill once uncle master has woken up."

"Thank you..." Aurelius took the pill and consumed it without hesitation. He felt conflicted again, but it quickly disappeared.

"It is I who should apologize. I don't need divination anymore." Tina Roxley spoke while smilingly lightly.

Aurelius shook his head and sighed, "Leave it..."

Tina Roxley subconsciously nodded her head and descended into silence. It was unknown what she was thinking, but she felt a hand suddenly grasp her hand an unspecified time later, startling her. She looked at her hand, which was grasped before looking at her uncle master in confusion.

Initially, she thought that her uncle master consoled her for her not to worry, but feeling her hands be strangely caressed, she felt uncomfortable.

However, she didn't say anything critical but just brushed away her uncomfortableness and giggled as she took her hand away.

"Uncle master, if you want to feel good, weren't there many women courting you in this Thousand Pill City? You are still muddleheaded, so go after them sometime later."

Tina Roxley advised and stood up. She kept her smile as she left.

Aurelius looked at her back figure, disappear before his sight, leaving the room. He slammed down his fist on the bed, "Fuck!"

He silently cursed.

There were a few unorthodox methods to obtain Tina Roxley's Fate Discarnate Soul for using divination techniques. However, he was reluctant as they were all too cruel. He didn't want his niece to suffer such a fate; hence he decided on a particular orthodox method.

It was to get her to willingly let him use a part of her Fate Discarnate Soul, and the only way for her to let him do that is if they were to have a deep-rooted relationship!

If he was able to obtain her affection and make her his woman, then he would be able to use her Fate Discarnate Soul with her absolute willingness!

However, he had messed up big time, but it looked like Tina Roxley possessed a big heart. She knew that he was a womanizer since he always bragged about his 'adventures' to Brandis Mercer, so she didn't lash out at him and instead warned that he was muddleheaded and even advised alternatives.

Truly, he felt conflicted.

His pupils shook for a while, but his greed won out in the end as it flashed, 'Tina Roxley, I will become the greatest Mystic Diviner there is in the Fifty-Two Territories! Obediently become one of my women. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to forcefully rip out your Fate Discarnate Soul!'

In a vast hall, a few people sat in a round table consisting of six chairs. Four women and two men occupied all six of these chairs. One man seemed to recite numerous passages for a while as everyone listened.

That man seemed to finish the story finally.

"... and that concludes the History of the Alstreim Family that I got from the Ethren Imperial Library. Mother, is it credible?" 

This person was none other than Davis Loret. He wore an alchemist robe that made him look dazzling like a scholar.

"I am not sure since I didn't have time to study the history of the family. I preferred to cultivate till I fainted out of exhaustion. After all, I was focused on obtaining the Young Mistress position at that time." A woman shook her head. 

The woman wore a mask that hid her features completely, including her purple eyes. The only feature that was visible in her hair was her blonde hair that reached till her waist. It remained silky smooth and fragrant. This woman was none other than Claire Loret.

She sat a chair away from Davis, and in between was Logan Loret, her husband.

"However, I still received some education about our history. The things you said didn't seem like a lie to me. It is true that the Alstreim Family only has a history of ninety thousand years. The Alstreim Family Founder was indeed a Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse! He had massacred the previous hegemon to death and established the exceptional Alstreim Family a long time ago."

"It was rumored that the Founder was a descendant of half-human and half-spirit ancestor. However, no one is sure of the credibility of it, so I won't ponder on it."

'Half-human and half-spirit!' Davis's sapphire eyes lit up, but since his mother brushed it off, he remained silent.

"A few millennia later, the Alstreim Family had already produced four Law Rune Stage Powerhouses, entering a period of prosperity!" Claire's voice possessed a tinge of proudness.

"Then, is it true that the Alstreim Family had given birth to a total of thirteen Ninth Stage Powerhouses?" Another female voice echoed.

It came from beside Claire. She possessed waist-length purple hair, and her beauty was comparable to Claire. She was none other than Princess Isabella.

She wore a magnificent dark purple robe for this occasion. Her bosoms were swelling, similar to someone else's, making her look entirely feminine. Her robe was adorned with ornaments like gemstones, and it made everyone remember the Empress of the Ruth Empire she once was. If anyone who doesn't know her saw her, they wouldn't think that she was a beauty who killed people with her fists!

When she appeared in this dress for the first time, Davis repeatedly kept staring at her, causing her to blush in embarrassment yet become satisfied.

Besides Princess Isabella was Natalya, Evelynn, and then Davis. For this occasion, they dressed up a little glamorously but mostly conservative. However, their dazzling figures were not up to par to the level of Princess Isabella since she is the star of the occasion.

They all pricked up their ears to listen.

Claire nodded her head, "That's true. There were fourteen Law Rune Stage Powerhouses in the Alstreim Family's ninety thousand years of history, including the Founder!"
