Divine Emperor of Death

On the magical beast race side, an Obsidian Crystal Turtle remained directly seated across from the Mandate Emperor.

She had a veil on her face and wore a black robe, practically imitating Fairy Myria's attire while possessing the same hairstyle.

She had her eyes closed all this time. Her King-Tier undulations were plain to sense, thrumming with impatience, and when the Twilight Physician Hall's Ancestor carelessly uttered his words, relating them to Vacuous Beasts, she almost turned hostile, but after hearing the Emperor of Death's words, she gave him the same respect as anyone did.

Now, after the Emperor of Death made the Twilight Physician Hall's Ancestor apologize to their magical beast race, she was finally able to relax and cast a thankful glance at the Emperor of Death, thinking that he was not as bad as their initial impression of him challenging their master Fairy Myria, which stuck with them for a long time.

"The magical beast race accepts your apology."

The tension forming in the atmosphere instantly dissolved after she opened her mouth.

Even so, the King-Tier Obsidian Crystal Turtle and the others were still shocked by what the Emperor of Death said about Vacuous Beasts not having souls.

How can they be alive when they don't have souls? Or even the slightest bit of consciousness?

"Good. Sit."

Davis cast a glance at the Twilight Physician Hall's Ancestor before panning his gaze a hundred and eighty degrees.

"I understand that everyone is on the edge of having their families, even close ones, killed by the Vacuous Beasts. However, I guarantee that the Vacuous Beasts, although they resemble Magical Beasts, have no relation to them. Even the magical beasts were almost annihilated by them."

The magical beasts couldn't help but gravely nod, knowing that if it weren't for Fairy Myria and him, they would've been a goner.

"In my experience, those Vacuous Beasts are no different than legends of ghosts haunting people. They're existences whom I can't wrap my finger around as I'm clueless as you are. The only thing I know is that they're purely destructive beings who are intent on destroying every life they lay their bloodthirsty eyes upon."

Everyone couldn't help but nod at the Emperor of Death's words, recalling being stared at by those terrifying bloodthirsty eyes before they had to scram for their lives.

Even the Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor seemed traumatized when one of their immortals backstabbed the other and went off after attracting the Vacuous Beasts, causing their scalps to turn numb and run off to their mini-realm miserably, seeking shelter.

If they had been a little bit late, their lives would no longer be here. Thinking about that cruel reality of their destroyed sects and ruined resources, their bodies heavily shuddered. It was practically better for them to ascend and start a new life for them, but knowing that there were still hundreds and thousands of Vacuous Beasts roaming in the First Haven World as seen in the skies, they didn't dare leave now.

"Now then, I came here to see if the talks are going smoothly, but I see that there are constant interruptions due to past standings."

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Twilight Physician Hall's Ancestor when the latter almost went crazy, wondering why he was being made a scapegoat when everyone was guilty of pointing fingers.

But at this moment, two figures flashed beside Davis.

A heavenly aura and a deathly intent spread, causing everyone to freeze as they felt utterly oppressed. Their breaths became heavy and the aura that was already controlled by them to a bare minimum release was completely squeezed into their bodies.

At this moment, only a spirit and a magical beast's undulations were pushing outwardly like waves, suppressing every other aura.

The figures gathered here all had their eyes on the two veiled beauties beside Davis. The spirit was a dark blue-robed, purple-skinned beauty with white hair, her bluish-black eyes sending a severe chill down their spines, while the magical beast was a black-robed, purple-haired beauty, her purplish-golden eyes practically removing the thoughts of all forms of resistance.

In front of these two, they felt the only fate left was death if antagonized.

Davis gestured towards Eldia and Nadia with his two hands and opened his mouth, "As everyone can see, I represent all races here."

"My first wife was a human, but she became a fey. Everyone knows her as the Hex Demoness, but she's a kind soul changed by untoward circumstances. It was my fault that I was not a better protective figure for her, for my family, but I look at her with the same loving eyes."

The hearts of the women here shook as they saw the Emperor of Death's gaze turn gentle, making them think that he was a man who could rise above all beings when push came to the shove and love to the extreme, the best of both worlds.

"Nothing has changed. In fact, my love for Evelynn has only grown when she went batshit crazy and annihilated my enemies."

"…"

His last sentence almost had them falling out of their seats, which wasn't even possible.

"Ahahaha~"

On the other hand, Evelynn blushed heavily as she saw his projection from the Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace, while her sisters laughed at her, some even falling, rolling on the floor as they held their stomachs.

"You!"

In particular, Mingzhi and Fiora were making a big uproar out of it, causing even her ears to blush.

Evelynn clenched her teeth and ignored them, turning to look at the projection as she didn't know why Davis said that, especially when she wanted everyone to fear her.

"Isn't that obvious?"

"How long are you going to act evil towards the world when you aren't?"

Isabella and Shirley came carrying Eterna and Celestia. They were feeding the babies with milk bottles containing the milk collected from their main bodies.

Evelynn turned to look at their smiles and couldn't help but shoot a wry smile in return. If she didn't act evil and continued to keep acting evil even after arriving in the First Haven World, she believed that she would invite a calamity for Davis with her empire-toppling beauty and a voluptuous body to add to that.

She didn't want to burden him anymore, but her eyes widened, recalling him saying that he was not a better protective figure for her, for their family.

She absolutely didn't consider him that way. Even the others agreed with her at that time when he brought it up a while ago.

But perhaps, her actions of wanting to remain evil for the sake of not attracting a calamity made Davis feel like he was not up to par. After all, she knew that he always wanted her to remain her beautiful self, radiating sunshine, and be a motherly figure to everyone in their family.

"...!"

Understanding this point, realization dawned on her face as a bright smile couldn't help but appear; one that Isabella and Shirley hadn't seen for a long time, which dumbfounded them. The others who were laughing were also momentarily dumbfounded by Evelynn's unforgettable, alluring beauty.

After all, Evelynn had always maintained a cold and somewhat aloof demeanor up to this point after that tragic incident! The fact that she even displayed a wide, bright smile made them feel that she wasn't the Evelynn that they knew, but Shirley, who had interacted with the innocent and naive Evelynn, knew what this smile meant.

'She's back to her old self...' Shirley's eyes couldn't help but inevitably tear up.
