Divine Emperor of Death

"It would seem that way..." Davis nodded but shook his head, "But, I'm not aware of the full capacity of Heart Intent. As you are the Ancestor, I trust that you would teach me in regards to this elusive Intent?"

He did not wait for an answer and instead looked at Ancestor Tirea Snow and suddenly dropped a bomb.

"This is your chance. Make her your woman. This is the perfect opportunity as she is now defenseless as a mortal woman."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression froze!

"Insolent! Know your place!" He instantly came out of his reverie and berated with an angered expression on his face.

He was already shocked by Davis's display of talent, but now, it came to be known that he also knew Heart Intent. He was only able to digest this fact before Davis said something that sounded preposterous to his mind.

"Oh my..." Davis couldn't help but laugh, "You didn't seem hesitant when you tried to offer Nora Alstreim and numerous other women to me on a silver platter. Seems like Ancestor Tirea Snow is truly a sacred existence in your heart."

"You..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression trembled, "Be quiet! A brat like you wouldn't know anything about the intricacies of the Nine Western Territories!"

Davis sneered, "So it's fine if it's a woman from the Alstreim Family? Since you are the Ancestor, do you feel like an absolute being?"

"That's right..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly answered, "Since I gave my future away for its survival, it is necessary all who enjoy the benefits of the Alstreim Family should obey my words."

"Is that your revenge against the Alstreim Family?" Davis narrowed his eyes before he harrumphed.

"Petty..." He continued in a low voice before he smiled, "Just like me..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim snorted and waved his hand, "You've overstayed. I'll find you again, so go now..."

"Mhm? How can it be like that?" Davis looked aggrieved, "My life is at stake here. Do you think that I would just leave without a satisfactory answer?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim frowned. Although he felt that it should be an act again, he still asked.

"What do you want?"

"Just think about it..." Davis pointed at the sleeping beauty, "If you manage to make Ancestor Tirea Snow love you like she once did, the Alstreim Family will profit because it would then have two Ancestors..."

"And this is your only chance provided by the so-called fate you spoke of... Are you really going to throw it away?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's pupils shook. How could he not understand this?

The woman he loved lay on his bed defenseless. To a man, to him, how could he not be tempted?

But he shook his head and moved his lips, "No, there is too much at stake here, including your life."

Like a devil, Davis whispered, but Ancestor Dian Alstreim refused to bend to his words of temptation. This kind of will... Davis liked it very much.

"Fine. I won't talk about it anymore..." Davis appeared exasperated, "Since Ancestor won't kill her or... whatever, what is the plan?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim appeared solemn. However, no matter how he thought, no plan appeared in his mind. It was blank. All it told him was that he should wait for Tirea to wake up, but it also said by that time, it would be too late.

"Also..." Davis suddenly spoke, "Ancestor Tirea Snow said something about betraying you. Does that mean...?"

"You don't understand..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim shook his head, "The women of the Falling Snow Sect would always display complete loyalty to their sect. They usually marry within the sect, and even if they marry within the sect, it would be nothing more than be something arranged by their elders. As for love within the marriage, they deem that is up to the individuals."

"They don't easily fall in love with outsiders. However, if they do, then they might even betray their sect for their love, and that is naturally deemed as dangerous by the Falling Snow Sect."

"That is why, when she left me, acted like she didn't know me, she considers it all a betrayal to our love."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim suddenly turned to look at the bed, "Am I right, Tirea?"

His expression shook as he asked.

Ancestor Tirea Snow's eyelids fluttered before it opened up, revealing her beautiful sapphire eyes that appeared moist. Her lips quivered as her elusive voice echoed out, "Yes..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but visibly heave a sigh of relief. Honestly, he was afraid that she had done something unable to be taken back, but it seems like it wasn't the case. Fortunately, that old hag died. Otherwise, it was unknown how she would've arranged a marriage for Tirea Snow that would've completely killed him from the inside.

However, he knew that Tirea took no suitors. After all, despite all that happened, he was still keeping an eye on her, unable to let go.

Davis knew that Ancestor Tirea Snow had woken up, and that is why he suddenly changed the question and sneakily pointed at her to Ancestor Dian Alstreim, telling him that she woke up. The time to plan was up. It was now time for action, but Ancestor Tirea Snow's answer said that she still remembered Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

He didn't know what was about to take place now...

"Tirea, why are you here? What is going on?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim asked with an indifferent expression, but his voice betrayed his composure as it sounded sorrowful.

Ancestor Tirea Snow's pupils shook. She closed her eyes and spoke; her voice still hoarse.

"Forgive me, Dian. I deserve death for listening to my m-master..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression fell.

So it was something so simple!?

Ancestor Tirea Snow continued while still having her eyes closed, "After we promised to marry and returned to our powers, I confessed to master that I love you and wanted to marry you. However, that same day, I was ambushed by my master and a few other Grand Elders and was imbued with a memory seal that sealed my memories."

"The only thing I could remember the next day was that you were my enemy on the battlefield, and although I felt discomfort, I continued to obey my master's words and didn't doubt the existence of the memory seal that resided in my soul sea since my master said that it contained the secrets that I would have to give to the next successor when I die at the very end of my life."

"So until then, I was forbidden to release the memory seal from my mind, and I didn't say a word against it since it was imbued within me that every Ancestor of the Falling Snow Sect did the same."

"From then on... It is as you know, Dian..." Tears started to drip out of her eyes.

She became silent, sobbing for a few seconds before she continued.

"Four days ago, I abruptly gained inspiration and broke into the King Soul Stage... However, the breakthrough was aggressive that it ended up destroying the memory seal that resided near my soul essence."

"It really did contain the secrets of my Falling Snow Sect, but at the same time, it also contained the memories, the time we spent together, everything that I held dear during those bloody times..."

Tears kept dripping down her cheeks as Ancestor Tirea Snow sobbed.

"I wanted to see you one last time... Dian~!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's pupils trembled as he heard this absurd story. His name that she called out with untold emotions shook his core.

'Four... four days...' On the other hand, Davis narrowed his eyes in doubt. Her story was intriguing, but why did it happen before four days?

Four days ago, he felt something ominous. He felt that it was mostly his instinct, so he could easily recall it as a special day.

His eyes suddenly went wide, 'Isn't that the day where I said something grave to Isabella?'

'Fuck! Whoever you are!? Will of the heavens or a random stalking hobo! Are you taking revenge for that by sending a Ninth Stage Powerhouse at me!? Unfortunately, you picked the wrong candidate to kill me!'

Davis inwardly cursed but calmed down, seeing that Ancestor Tirea Snow had absolutely no interest in him and was rather burdened by her personal life. He felt the need to kill her, disappear.

"Heh..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim abruptly chuckled, "One last time? You're returning to your sect again?"

He chuckled again, "Hehe, I should've known it. In the end, it is always our powers that we should be looking after..."

"Yes... We should be looking after our powers..." Ancestor Tirea Snow's voice shook as she moved her gaze away and wiped her tears. She sat up and said, "I won't say anything about what happened today, so let me leave."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression became cold as he smiled. "Sure, after you swear that you won't reveal what happened here, you can leave. I recall that you possessed a Blood Soul Contract back when you forced Daniuis Alstreim to sign? You should possess another one..."

"Take that out..."

"Yes, I will..." Ancestor Tirea Snow raised her hand, but a voice suddenly echoed out, interrupting them both.

"Ancestor..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim turned to look, his gaze confused, "What is it, Davis?"

Davis possessed a hesitant expression on his face, but he still made up his mind and asked, "Are you stupid?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's cold, smiling face faded, replaced with confusion, "Uh?"

"I was asking if you are stupid or are your emotions so shaken and confused that you can't see that she's planning to commit suicide?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim pupils dilated as he spontaneously turned to look at Ancestor Tirea Snow! He just saw her tremble before she instantly suppressed it!

"Impossible!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim clenched his fists, "Tirea would never lead her sect to death! Without her, the Falling Snow Sect would quickly be engulfed by foreign powers!"

"Ancestor, you're contradicting yourself. Didn't you just say that her loyalty lies with you? Since she had fallen in love with you and regained those memories, it is rather clear what kind of actions she would take."

"Of course, she wouldn't harm the Falling Snow Sect with her own hands. That is, she won't do anything but just disappear. What happens thereafter is none of her concern because she wouldn't exist in this world anymore."

Davis slowly grinned, "That is her revenge against the Falling Snow Sect."

*Pah!~*

*Pah!~*

*Pah!~*

Davis couldn't help but clap thrice, "You two truly are made for each other."

Both Ancestors were stunned as they looked at Davis.

"Young one, what nonsense are you spouting?" Ancestor Tirea Snow looked angered, but her body was still trembling, revealing that she had lost her composure.

"Hmph!" Davis harrumphed and took out a vial and threw it towards Ancestor Tirea Snow, which she subconsciously reached out to capture.

"You two lack the drive that you need to walk in the right path. So, external help from an unscrupulous junior like me is required. I won't be staying here any longer." Davis turned around and left.

His movements were so quick that he disappeared within a few seconds as he exited the Ancestral Hall.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim watched his figure leave with a dazed look before he turned to look at Ancestor Tirea Snow, a glazed and contemplative look appearing on her face as she examined the vial.

Her eyes went suddenly wide as she quickly hid the vial into her spatial ring. However, looking at Ancestor Dian Alstreim, who possessed a stunned look on his face, her expression turned into a crimson blush as she knew he found out.

"Is that an... aphrodisiac?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim's lips twitched.
