Divine Emperor of Death

Davis inwardly smirked as he saw Daniuis Alstreim return to his little brother's place while Patriarch Eldric Alstreim returned to his seat.

'So only the top, the Grand Elders, the Patriarch, and the Ancestor of the Alstreim Family are aware of our arrival to the First Layer... Even the Elders are exempt from knowing the situation that took place in the Tripartite Alliance...'

However, he faintly furrowed his brows as he eyed Ancestor Dian Alstreim, who was vaguely smiling. The situation has become complicated than he needed it to be!

As usual, Davis listened in on their conversation with his soul sense, like spying on an encrypted conversation. That's why he knew what they discussed in the sound barrier.

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim didn't seem worried that their conversation would be listened to because he knew that the Ancestor would stop the Conferred Queen's Protector from spying on the conversation. Unfortunately for him, it seemed that the Ancestor did not mind the Conferred Queen's Protector spying for 'some' reason.

Davis inwardly nodded his head in understanding.

No wonder Daniuis Alstreim was able to get to this place without any problem. He initially wondered if the Alstreim Family wanted Daniuis Alstreim since it was plausible to be required for the matter of the aboriginals, but there seemed to be no news of that, making him think that they forgot the existence of Daniuis Alstreim.

However, it seems like the information of the aboriginals was really kept in the wraps that only the top brass knew about it.

'This is bad... Since they got a hold of granduncle Daniuis, they might use other methods to make him cough about us, such as taking his family hostage. Although I doubt if it would happen in Ancestor Dian Alstreim's presence.'

Davis cast a glance at Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

'But since you did not ask anything even though you know the importance of the matter of the aboriginals, I guess that it is safe to assume that you know about us.'

'What a headache...' Davis inwardly shook his head.

The fact that Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn't make a move despite knowing that they were from the Forsaken Phoenix Realm made the matter incredibly complicated, and perhaps worse depending on the circumstances. He didn't know and was unable to guess what kind of plot was brewing inside Ancestor Dian Alstreim's mind to be able to ignore them.

As for how he established the fact that Ancestor Dian Alstreim knew about their origins, he possessed witness evidence! 

There was a 'cat' that seemed to have secretly entered his estate in the Ethren City during the time of the battle exchange between the Conferred Queen's group and the Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect.

It was just that, he didn't know who it was at first, but with this revelation, he knew that it was none other than Ancestor Dian Alstreim who sneaked into his estate. 

Ancestor Dian Alstreim abruptly stood up, "You young ones enjoy the banquet. The Protector and I possess matters to discuss."

Davis creased his brows. 

He didn't know where he was being taken, but he stood up and gave the nod to Princess Isabella as if he was telling her to take care of herself in the view of everyone.

The people below stood up like a rising tide and bowed with clasped hands, giving respect as the two of them left the Grand Welcoming Hall.

Davis followed Ancestor Dian Alstreim side by side. They both kept their speed at a ten kilometers per second, phasing around in the Grand Alstreim City as kept moving in a direction. Judging by the city's topography, they seemed to be moving towards the city center, which seems to be closer to the Grand Welcoming Hall they came from.

Davis kept silent the whole time, and Ancestor Dian Alstreim also seemed not to open his mouth easily. In any case, Davis wasn't worried about where he was being taken.

Fallen Heaven knew no distance. Besides, he was at both places and could quickly work his way towards any discord, and instantly take care of the situation in most circumstances. He did indeed possess the confidence to flatten the Alstreim Family if so needed.

Soon, amidst the cloud of floating buildings, they arrived at a point. In front of them was a building that led towards the ground. They entered it and walked along the narrow passage. 

Davis looked at the sides and found that most of the writings described the glory of the Ancestors. However, that didn't attract his view. There were a few writings that seemed to be recent than the others, and it had two names that were particularly noteworthy.

'Darius Alstreim and Liam Alstreim... I take it that they are the names of his two brothers...' Davis returned his gaze to Ancestor Dian Alstreim, who walked to his front.

They soon walked into a hall, and there came tall statues that proliferated into their view. There were thirteen of them, and each of them possessed a kind of grandeur that could only be seen in people who took the lead to carve out the path for themselves.

At least, that was what Davis could infer from witnessing the majestic look and posture of the statues. 

Ancestor Dian Alstreim stopped for a while as he looked at the statues. His gaze particularly remained on the two statues for a while as his eyes became nostalgic before he started to walk again. He led Davis further into the building, walking for a few kilometers before arriving in front of a large flame patterned door before he pushed it open.

*Creak!~*

Once Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Davis entered, the door seemed to close by itself. 

Looking at the altar in front of him, Davis finally spoke.

"To lead me into this place, what have you prepared for me?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim, who was towards his front, slowly turned back his body before his head followed suit. He sighed before he waved his hand instantaneously!

*Slash!~*

It was just a moment!

Davis slowly moved his head looked towards his right arm, noticing that a cut has been made on his index finger. However, no blood leaked. Instead, only soul force leaked out of his index finger in a hazy and wavy manner before it patched up by itself.

It was not even a harmful injury.

"As I thought... You're in a soul-body... No wonder I couldn't still detect your Essence Gathering Cultivation Base. However, to think that you possess a soul body that is this... solidified..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim wryly smiled with a tinge of admiration.

Usually, soul bodies were fragile and were, most of the time, obvious to the contemporary senses, but Davis's soul body seemed a bit unique to him. He still couldn't put his finger on what irked his instincts, but he could tell that it should be a unique soul body conjuring art or technique.

Davis raised his right hand and shook his index finger, "You don't need to go that far to check my bloodline. I am indeed Claire Alstreim's son, so I too possess the blood of the Alstreim Family within me."

His voice echoed young, no longer deep or hoarse. He removed his hood, and his dyed black hair fell over to his waist. His facial features that were slightly twisted also became remarkably similar to Alchemist Davis, revealing his handsome and dashing face.
