Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Of course, Founder Alstreim Windstorm knew who this woman was.

No one tried to make trouble with her or vehemently pester her even after she became the first-ranked Celestial Fairy because it became publicly known that she acquired the Bloodcloud Family and even obtained King-Tier Blood of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin by pulling something against the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Clan.

Her strategies were unfathomable, and by the time it was revealed, they would find it hard to do anything against it.

Otherwise, the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Clan would've never handed over King-Tier Blood.

He even knew Davis was once kidnapped by her as the members of the Reaper Soul Legion were fuming about it, but later on, their relationship strangely took into the shape of mutual benefits, so he couldn't tell if she was an ally or an enemy.

Either way, it didn't seem like she was going to let him go since Davis might gain the upper hand against her after knowing this place.

Founder Alstreim Windstorm could only wryly smile amidst the silence. After a few seconds of staring at each other, he opened his mouth.

"Surely, I'm not going to get locked up or murdered, am I? That would just end up infuriating him and collapse the beneficial relationship you have with him."

"I wouldn't be hesitating if it weren't the case."

"Sigh, this is a bind." Fairy Thunderblaze lightly smiled and sighed ever so lightly, waving her hand.

"Just leave and don't show your face ever again."

"…" Founder Alstreim Windstorm blinked, "Are you not worried that I would leak this information to him?"

"Go ahead."

Fairy Thunderblaze's voice turned amused, "I'm not worried since this path was created by yours truly. Without my karma, it would be nearly impossible to traverse that path, and the limit is three, so the other two must also be karmically connected to the Grand Beginnings Continent. Otherwise, it wouldn't work."

"…"

Founder Alstreim Windstorm turned to look at the iridescent vortex. He had checked it, not knowing how one would traverse in it as it was unlike anything he had seen, but it turned out that it was connected to Fairy Thunderblaze's karma, which meant she planted something in the Grand Beginnings Continent, allowed her to create a path.

When?

Founder Alstreim Windstorm felt an enormous chill shooting through his spine.

This woman predicted this ridiculously big grand formation would eventually have a crack in this era and set up something like a karmic spatial tunnel that would allow her to return?

He knew Fairy Thunderblaze was also from the Grand Beginnings Continent. However, that was such a long time ago. Speaking time-wise, she was his senior by thousands or hundreds and thousands of generations.

After ascending and becoming an Immortal Emperor, she had been in stasis all this time due to the Candidacy, which disallowed her to age. So even though he was many years older than her and had more experience, her perception and foresight made it so that he couldn't help but respect her. "But you said that you needed his help?"

He returned his gaze to her, asking with a light smile as he felt proud of his descendant.

It made Fairy Thunderblaze's beautiful eyes narrow, "I thought I said for you to leave."

"If you needed his help, then you could have mine. In what way can I be useful?"

Founder Alstreim Windstorm smirked as he spread his hands, appearing vulnerable as though he was willing to die.

"…"

It made Fairy Thunderblaze incline her head as though she was wondering if he had a death wish, but then, the more she contemplated, the more she felt like she could make use of him.

"You… you recently entered the Grand Beginnings Continent, didn't you?"

"Yes!" Founder Alstreim Windstorm was amazed that she saw through his intent, "My karmic connection to that place should be a bit higher, allowing you to stabilize this path using your well of knowledge if you could."

Fairy Thunderblaze raised her brows.

It wasn't like she didn't think of this method.

She could gather hundreds of people who had ascended from the Grand Beginnings Continent and make so many sacrifices to strengthen the path, but that was still not something that surpassed Davis and her connection to the Grand Beginnings Continent.

The third person he would likely bring would also have a karmic connection to the Grand Beginnings Continent, considering that it would be one of his women, so she wasn't worried.

Hence, the three of them alone would already be enough, and any extras would prove negligible. However, she heard that this man had recently reentered the Grand Beginnings Continent by passing through the barrier when it cracked before, which would make things different!

He would also have a karmic connection with the barrier itself!

It was quite small and wouldn't extend past a few hundred years, but it was just a few years, so the karmic connection they shared could be used by her to stabilize the path she created, allowing her to take not just two more people but many more.

Thinking of many things, she smirked behind her veil, "There is a way you can help, but I'd rather not accept it as I figure someone won't allow it."

Founder Alstreim Windstorm couldn't help but chuckle, "My prized descendant is a passionate and caring man."

"However, I don't want to see him act like me, always worrying about the family back home and never having the time to improve. I know his family back in the Grand Beginnings Continent is so important to him that he wouldn't be able to get his mind off of them, so instead of having their fate unknown in that place, I would like for him to bring them back here and relax."

"Even if you were to die?" Fairy Thunderblaze interjected.

"Yes, I don't mind dying for it. Consequently, my Alstreim Family would flourish. This is what you would call sacrificing oneself for the family."

Founder Alstreim Windstorm cockily replied.

In truth, he wasn't afraid. He had even watched his own descendants die, so dying for a right cause wasn't something he was aversed to or afraid of as he knew there would come a time for a person to shine brightly, no matter how dim that light may be.

In fact, he was prepared to die when he roamed this fog, as anything could've happened.

He felt his time was now, causing him to converse bravely with the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder.

"Seems good, but I have no use for you as only three of us are going to traverse inside and return. This proposal isn't even tempting for me, and it would only make him mad, possibly get me killed."

"W-wait!" Founder Alstreim Windstorm's smile left, and panic entered, "Wait a minute. Using me should help him in the end."

"Then go talk to him and come back."

"That… he wouldn't let me sacrifice myself."

"Since you know, then you should leave or try your best to convince."

Fairy Thunderblaze turned to leave, appearing to no longer care, but Founder Alstreim Windstorm continued.

"But this is the only way his mind could rest. The Emperor of Death, my descendant Davis, is a calamitous star but the most radiant and vibrant star I've ever known. He would leave soon to the true immortal world, so if his family and his mother don't ascend due to various reasons, then he would never be able to stop worrying about them. His light… cannot be dimmed!"

Founder Alstreim Windstorm yelled out.

Fairy Thunderblaze almost disappeared within the fog, but her figure suddenly stopped in the distance. She appeared to have paused for a while there, but a step after she turned around, she appeared in front of Founder Alstreim Windstorm, causing him to flinch.

"I'll leave a letter and an imagery crystal for him to view so you won't get the heat of it."

He bravely spoke, not knowing who he was convincing, himself or her.

"If you want to die so badly for him, then be my guest."

Fairy Thunderblaze's voice was cold.

"Great, I'll start writing a letter back home and leave stealthily. As for imagery crystal, I'll leave it with you."

Founder Alstreim Windstorm felt great as he managed to convince an inheritor like Fairy Thunderblaze. He felt that it was his life's greatest achievement other than a descendant like Davis appearing in his family.

After he recorded himself, he gave the Imagery Crystal to Fairy Thunderblaze.

Fairy Thunderblaze took the Imagery Crystal and confirmed that it indeed had a recording and wasn't a one-time playback to get her killed if this man had something against her.

Eventually, his true body appeared.

After confirming everything was alright, she constructed a spirit formation, anchoring him to the entrance of the formation. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovᴇlꜰɪre.ɴet

A week later, she stared at the same scene but with the Emperor of Death right beside her.

"I told you not to touch my family, didn't I?"

A hand shaped like a claw came for her throat, catching her.

However, her figure shook, and Davis's hand grabbed nothing more than an illusion. She appeared elsewhere and floated around him like a ghost, appearing to smile as he did just as she expected.

"Don't be so hasty. Your ancestor is still alive, and this was his idea, not mine."

Fairy Thunderblaze threw the Imagery Crystal at Davis, causing him to catch it yet still glare at her with killing intent.

"It better not be one of your silly schemes, or this time, don't blame me for killing you in cold blood."

"…"

Fairy Thunderblaze still smiled and didn't say anything, waiting for him to use the Imagery Crystal.

"Ah… my dear descendant. My prized family treasure that anyone would long for and even the scary Celestial Fairy behind me is careful of."

Founder Alstreim Windstorm's figure appeared. He smiled like he was holding a front camera and even tweaked by twisting the crystal to show the three-sixty-degree view, which made Fairy Thunderblaze also appear in the recording along with the fog that appeared like mist.
