Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3764 World Master's Last Words

"…"

Evelynn, Shirley, and Isabella heaved a breath, not knowing what the World Master had in store for them, considering she had possibly sank into a coma or, worse, slain.

She couldn't possibly be here to tell them it was their fault, right?

They were aware they were overpowered for the Candidacy. Only Zenova, an Anarchic Divergent, and maybe a few others they didn't know yet could possibly match them in combat when they have a similar cultivation base. Otherwise, they were a menace and disruption to the Candidacy.

Moreover, she also advised them not to win more Hidden Pagoda because gaining more realm pills would give them heavy karmic burden.

Shirley barely kept her expression straight.

After all, Founder Zenflame gave her three Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills of Minor Realms, making it so that she had a total of six pills with her.

Together with Evelynn and Isabella, they had a total of twelve pills— five Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills made from Lower Realms and seven Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills made from Minor Realms, including the one they swindled from Rea Tyriel.

Such an extravagant range of treasures, including the herbs they had collected from the Mystical Herb Mansion, surely would've caused World Master some trouble, perhaps even making her cough blood and faint.

They could only guess.

"Are you three dissatisfied since the Candidacy is canceled at the height where you're sure of yourselves that you could attain my legacy?"

The World Master walked past them, turning around.

"If that's the case, then rest assured. Winning my inheritance might as well as be written as 'courting death' for you three. The Celestial Transcendent would personally descend even if he had some dire matters to take care of. But without my inheritance, you are just fledglings, including the Divine Emperor of Death. That's a brief window of reprieve that you could actually use to survive."

"…"

"However, I do not know how long that brief reprieve is. It could be as short as a day or as long as a millennium. I could also be wrong in my predictions. After all, if I was right, then I wouldn't be in this situation. Either way, if you return to the First Haven World or get teleported to the true immortal world, you better prepare yourselves to encounter foes and kill your way out to him, as I don't know the situation outside. If any of you died, I doubt I'd get my ticket to get my soul cured, so I'm here to take the risk of incurring additional karmic burden in exchange for sending you to him no matter where he is."

The World Master turned to look away and sighed.

"This could even result in the Celestial Transcendent finding my hidden universe. I hope he doesn't and goes to the war that is currently happening between the galaxies."

"World Master…"

Shirley pursed her lips, feeling a bit of sadness again.

Why was this person doing so much for them only to suffer? She couldn't understand why she would not just trap Davis but instead rely on him when they were so weak?

When did having power not equal protecting themselves? Just how could such a powerful being fall?

Nonetheless, she felt immensely grateful that they were being sent to Davis if it was the worst scenario.

The World Master returned her gaze to them.

"Only— I'm not sure if such focused karmic teleportation would work with the ridiculous aura of divergence you all have on you from being with him. If it worked, that's good. If it doesn't… then I tried. He can't blame me."

"Rest assured, World Master. He would not blame you."

Isabella patted her bosom and answered. She was also moved.

However, her heart sank as she saw the World Master was unresponsive.

This… was still a projection.

She thought it could be a high-level real-time interactive projection like before when she met after completing the Fourth Hidden Pagoda, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"With that said— you three are free to use your resources as you please. However, I do not recommend staying here for too long and worrying your husband in case he decides to go search for you in the true immortal world and causes numerous calamities, which would only cause the forces of the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy to descend on him and even hasten the Celestial Transcendent's descent on him."

"I see no hope in you three practicing my cultivation manual, but I'm looking forward to seeing the three of you follow your actual path. Shirley, there's more to icefire than just crystallizing them. Isabella, you may have successfully comprehended Rumbling Laws, but they are a mere stepping stone to something even greater. Evelynn, you…"

The World Master gazed at Evelynn, seemingly knowing where she was even though she was just a projection.

"You are dangerous. I sense even more of a disastrous nature from than any of the wicked people I met."

"…!?"

Evelynn shuddered ever so lightly as she looked shocked.

Should she be happy about receiving these words? Was it a curse or a compliment? She couldn't understand.

The World Maser's brows raised as though she didn't say that right before she lowered her head lightly.

"Sorry… I didn't mean you were becoming evil, but I meant the birth of a wicked power even more than Death Laws or Decay Laws. You could become an Anarchic Divergent if you continue to follow this path you're taking… but I guess that wouldn't stop you from supporting him with your abilities even if it meant corrupting yourself."

"…"

Evelynn's gaze shook.

Why was the World Master speaking as though she lived close by her and knew her more than anyone else?

Was the World Master always watching her- no, watching him?

"Then it's time to say goodbye."

"World Master… I will call you elder sister from now on!"

Shirley cried out, her eyes slightly watering. She had always found the World Master enigmatic, but it also made her crave to make a friend out of such a big shot. Even if the World Master couldn't hear her, she wanted to say her feelings out loud before she no longer had a chance to.

The World Master lowered her head as her silhouette began to fade, but she raised her head one last time.

"Needless to say, there's another motive to why I made this projection, and that was to plead for you three to personally convince him to save me as he promised. Perhaps… that would disallow him to forget about me with all the suffering he would go through soon…"

The World Master shuddered ever so lightly before she raised her hand, "Don't take it wrongly. I wish for his success so I could survive… Even if he becomes stronger and can protect himself, I will ultimately meet my demise if he doesn't arrive in time. Right now, I'm probably no different than a woman on her deathbed, lacking all comfort and health, so I don't mind abandoning my pride and lowering my head if it means I could live again. Davis Family, please save me."

She cupped her hands and bowed fully before her figure slowly faded away within three seconds.

"I will be waiting…"

Her last words echoed throughout the white space, causing Evelynn, Shirley, and Isabella to look as though they had lost something.

"World Master…"

Shirley cried, sniffling as she tried to stop her tears.

She felt there was no justice in this world for such a soft-hearted woman to be reduced to this state.

Anarchic Divergent? So what? Why was an innocent being forced into this state!? Why was her husband being chased to death!?

She couldn't help but derive hatred against the world for their meaningless pursuit of justice.

Isabella and Evelynn also felt similar, their eyes sharp and cold.

They looked at the resources kept for them and moved toward them.

There were actually more than three Empyrean Stage Crystal Beast Cores, perhaps because they were ranked in the top four. In that case, they knew Zenova Artoria, Rea Tyriel, Dewzai, Tahundra, and Atsuo would also have more Empyrean Stage Crystal Beast Cores.

After all, the number of Empyrean Stage Crystal Beast Cores they possessed has reached a whooping twenty-four!

Without saying anything, they quickly said and began to cultivate while absorbing the crystal cores, their cultivation increasing at an extreme speed. Shirley also joined after she wiped her tears off.

They sat in a triangle, their auras blazing into the endless skies.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but their cultivations had repeated breakthroughs.

Finally, they took out one pill each and consumed it.

*Booom!~*

An extreme burst of energy exploded inside them, causing Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley to shudder heavily while hundreds of veins erupted from their bodies. Their dantians were abruptly besieged by an enormous amount of pill essence emerging from the realm.

They could sense it… its vast power emerging from the innumerable flora and the most vital nature within the realm, strengthening their bodies and improving their prowess as it made their energies become denser and denser!
