Divine Emperor of Death

For a full minute, the entire palace was in chaos.

They could not simply believe the ancient phoenix spirit descended to bless a couple where the husband possessed the evil status of an Anarchic Divergent. They continuously kept asking the Phoenix Clans for answers and the latter could only return it with the words that it was true and the phenomenon occurred as stated in their records, mortifying them.

In that case, wasn't this unprecedented?

What kind of implications did this have for the Phoenix clan? With their ancient ancestral spirit bestowing them with its blessings, would the phoenix clans be implicated in this mess? Would they be hunted down by the Heaven's Warriors?

So many questions arose.

However, even Venerable Knight Lussandra had no answers. Should she punish the Phoenix clans for going against the heavens? How could the Phoenix clans be held accountable for what their ancient spirit did? She couldn't tell as this never happened before, leaving her stunned.

She needed to report this to the higher-ups and perhaps consult with the Celestial Transcendent.

In any case, the Phoenix clans didn't seem to like what they were seeing either, so she didn't feel there was anything that she needed to do.;

Davis and Lea were also talking as she relayed him as to what she heard.

"…!"

Davis's expression turned astonished.

Lea would be able to use this blessing eventually? How?

"I can't accept this!"

Abruptly, a furious voice echoed, causing the palace to turn silent.

Davis turned to look at the Fire Phoenix Clan. However, Realm Master Warren Auraflame shook his head quickly, indicating that it wasn't him.

The voice also didn't feel like it was Realm Master Warren Auraflame, but Davis was surprised since he felt like if someone had a problem, it would be the Fire Phoenix Clan. However, it turned out to be another Realm Master.

It was none other than the Supreme Everlasting Empyrean, whose wizened expression now looked as though a volcano was going to burst.

"Why is there a need for you to accept? Are you related to the Phoenix clans or my family?" Davis scoffed.

"No!"

The Supreme Everlasting Empyrean growled, "I may not be related to the Phoenix clan, but my wife was. All of you may have forgotten, but she was a prim and proper lady who received the blessings of this same phenomenon. Our love was everlasting, yet you-!"

He pointed at Davis, appearing so vexed, "You have all these women you love, fair enough. However, would you dare say that you have a single ounce of faithfulness in your heart for Fairy Lea Weiss? How can the ancient phoenix spirit approve of you even if the ancient spirits approve of her!? This is ridiculous! I won't stand for it!"

Everyone in the crowd was shocked by this revelation.

Grand Elder Terronoir Heavenshade merely sighed.

Back then, the World Spirit Phoenix Blessing Phenomenon also descended on the Supreme Everlasting Empyrean and his wife, who was from the Seven-Colored Phoenix Clan. After their marriage, she received the ancient spirit's blessings, but it unfortunately ended in tragedy because of the war at that time.

He could understand why the Supreme Everlasting Empyrean would be shaken. He could tell that he was aggrieved.

Davis was also speechless, not expecting an old man to be riled up because of this phenomenon, but hearing his reasons, he understood.

He nodded, "Indeed, I cannot claim to be faithful when I have so many wives. But what of it? I still love my Lea to death."

Davis sneered, "Besides, did the ancient phoenix spirit specifically tell you that the husband has to have married only the bride? Perhaps the ancient phoenix spirit sees the virtue of faithfulness to be carried by women mostly, no? If that's the case, then you should go have a word with the ancient phoenix spirit and not me."

"You-!"

The Supreme Everlasting Empyrean trembled heavily as though he was going to fall. His footsteps faltered, and it seemed like he might have a heart attack as he clenched his chest, blood leaking out of his lips.

Quickly, his people came to support him.

"…" Davis went flabbergasted.

Was there a need to be so exaggerated?

"A second, please."

Abruptly, Grand Elder Terronoir Heavenshade entered the scene. He waved his hands, indicating all to calm down before he opened his mouth.

"Divine Emperor of Death this topic is quite sensitive to the Supreme Everlasting Empyrean because of his past. Back then, the Divine Phoenix Greater Realm intruded, wanting to take back his wife because she carried the blessings of the Phoenix race. In other words, she gained their karmic luck, so they wanted her. Naturally, they would also abide by their ancient spirit's wishes, so they also invited the Supreme Everlasting Empyrean to join their ranks. However, being an avid youth who wanted humanity to prosper at that time, he declined, and that was also her answer."

"Oh? So the Divine Phoenix Greater Realm…" Davis probed.

"No, they were incredibly understanding and decided to form an ally pact with our Celestial Transcendent Galaxy for a period of time to get the couple to accept them. However, the other galaxies didn't like it. To date, we don't know who killed her. Back then, the Supreme Everlasting Empyrean even took strange pathways to other galaxies, trying to find the killer but he failed to, so he now tries to help the subsequent generations with all his heart."

"…"

Davis turned to look at the Supreme Everlasting Empyrean. He supposed that their love was everlasting.

'Chances are that he's still looking for the killer…' Davis thought, 'Albeit secretly…'

However, his brows frowned.

This means that his Lea would also be targeted by the Divine Phoenix Greater Realm.

'Seriously… it was Shirley who was chased and not they're going after Lea… these phoenix clans should seriously give me a break lest I end all their lineage…'

However, he supposed their methods were formal and gentle. Still, considering they lost the previous owner of their race's karmic luck, he supposed that they might be forceful this time around.

"Supreme Everlasting Empyrean," Davis opened his mouth, "What do you suppose this blessing is? What does it do?"

The Supreme Everlasting Empyrean rubbed his chest and stood up slowly, "How should I know? I lost her before we could find out."

He lowered his head, his shoulders trembling.

"…"

Davis closed his mouth, unable to ask questions if he was going to wallow in sorrow like that.

"Back then… I was a powerful supreme genius, but even then, it was difficult to get the Seven-Colored Phoenix Clan's Skytune Clan to give their prized daughter to me. After facing so many difficulties, we got together and married even when there was an extreme number of disapproval. The color of the heaven and earth changed and we were showered with the World Spirit Phoenix Blessing phenomenon. It had been our source of pride. Ever since that day, we had been a source of envy for every Phoenix clan. Even those who didn't approve of us changed their tune."

"However… it's just as Terronoir said. I failed her… I don't deserve to live while she's gone. I need to avenge her and accompany her…"

The Supreme Everlasting Empyrean raised his head, his old eyes burning with a vengeance but also a certain glimmer of yearning.

"That's why- if you're a man who deserves this phenomenon, you better protect your fairy no matter what!"
