Divine Emperor of Death

A few seconds passed before Davis's sapphire eyes widened.

"Woah…! This is more than I expected."

His astonished expression caused Evelynn, Isabella, and Nadia to become curious as well, making them wonder how wealthier they had gotten.

"There's about 8.65 million Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments, 106 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, not to mention another 2.3 million Elemental Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments and 33 Elemental Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments, having the attribute of Darkness, Blood, Lightning, Fire, Poison, Illusion, Corrosion, Wind and Space."

An unbound ring can allow soul sense to enter and check its contents. Therefore, Davis quickly compiled the wealth from the plethora of spatial rings he obtained, not including the resources and heavenly resources that he identified with his knowledge.

The three of them became shocked to hear the details, especially when he mentioned the elemental Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources.

How come there were so many?

Was the wicked path really that rich?

'No, only the hegemonic characters are this rich...'

Evelynn and Isabella thought at the same time. They also understood that although the righteous path had more Spirit Stone Vein Sources, like the Burning Phoenix Ridge alone having more than a hundred Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, that was because they didn't consume them, unlike the wicked path.

Since the wicked path consumed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources to become strong, they expected there to be fewer quantities but were pleasantly surprised instead. Considering that they also needed a steady supply of spirit stones and vein fragments, it made sense to them.

"What's Corrosion Laws?"

Nadia suddenly asked in confusion.

"That's the fusion of Poison and Water Laws..."

Evelynn spoke with raised brows, her pupils displaying a sliver of disappointment.

Unfortunately, she wasn't talented in Water Laws, although she felt that they could use Corrosion Laws if she and Natalya could work together and fuse them. However, she possessed Hex Laws, which was said to be a Supreme Law by Davis, so she was not sure if she should waste her time with a Greater Law, not to mention that Natalya didn't practice Water Laws as her main but Ice and Yin Laws.

She didn't want to trouble her when she already had her path determined.

"Excellent." Isabella commented with a satisfied smile, "In the elemental Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, Blood, Corrosion, and Space are all Greater Laws and are worth more. What's their specific count?"

"There's about 2 Blood-Attributed, 1 Corrosion-Attributed, and 2 Spatial-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources."

Davis answered as he unbound his own spatial ring and gave it to Isabella.

Isabella froze before she blinked.

"Go ahead. Check for yourself as there's many more to discover, so when you need something or want to give to your sisters if I forgot to, feel free to ask."

Davis saw that she was not taking his spatial ring and grabbed her hand as he placed it on her palm and folded her fist.

"However, there's also some vicious and disgusting things inside collected from spoils, so beware."

Isabella absentmindedly nodded her head to his solemn expression while Evelynn looked away and hid her smile. She knew how Isabella felt as looking into his spatial ring was taboo for them, but she also knew that Davis was strange enough to not hide anything from them other than one secret that he time and time again vaguely indicated that was related to their life and death.

Isabella hesitated for a while before she finally sent her soul sense inside.

Even though she had already seen his spatial ring before to find clues to save him from near death, it still felt taboo for her to check his spatial ring. In her mind, this wasn't how it worked.

She saw the plethora of resources and wealth he possessed, but for a majority of the resources, she could not identify them one bit, although she could feel their special aura and elemental nature, which is quite basic. Still, she etched them into her mind and processed the information in an organized manner while Davis was doing the same.

"You too, Evelynn." He gestured.

"I'm fine." Evelynn lightly smiled, "I would like Isabella to look after your wealth as I trust her more than you to keep it accounted for."

"Uh…"

Davis reacted like he felt a stab in his heart as he placed his hand on his chest but agreed that he gave them out without telling them most of the time; he could only put his head down as he could not retort.

"Wha- Don't be discouraged. I didn't mean to be harsh."

However, Evelynn melted as she grabbed his hands, "After all, without this magnanimous nature of yours, I wouldn't have come this far. I only want you to be careful of selfish opportunists."

Davis blinked. He only acted a bit exaggeratedly, but it seems like she didn't find it funny and became hurt for him.

"I'm only giving without reserve to my trusted women anyway. What's the harm?"

"I know." Evelynn nodded, "There's nothing wrong with that, and I love it you're like this, indulgent and self-sacrificing. However, I just don't want you to be disappointed."

Davis blinked again before he asked.

"Are you wary of Lea Weiss?"

"Not like that, but I can't easily take my suspicions from a five-thousand-year-old woman just like that..." Evelynn didn't avert her gaze but looked into his sapphire eyes, "If she loved you, I wished that she had helped when you were half-dead..."

Davis's heart shook, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Your worries are completely understandable but don't worry. I can argue that she was secluded, using Shirley's Fire Phoenix Blood Essence to increase her prowess during that time before wanting to help, but I don't know for sure, and that's not what I'm trying to say. After all, once I decide to place my trust in someone, it means I'm also willing to kill them if betrayed. My path is one of the extremes."

He knew that Lea Weiss's love increased for him after failing her Heart Demon Tribulation, which essentially etched his image in her, unable to forget. Until then, she could've tried to hold herself back from falling in love with him with all her heart, not to mention that he had confused them with his disguise of being Shirley's uncle known as Chu Feng.

Only Ancestor Cornelia had found that he was Chu Feng instead of Lea Weiss when she spied on Shirley and hid it from Lea Weiss, so he wasn't that suspicious of Lea Weiss like Evelynn was, although he could understand her worries.

"I know you will do what you said, but as I said, I just don't want you to be disappointed."

Seeing Evelynn repeat her words, Davis heavily nodded.

"Alright, I'll be more careful."

Only then did Evelynn relax as she let go of his hands.

"Davis, you're richer than me now..."

Isabella's melodious voice echoed as she gave back his spatial ring to him. She did listen to their conversation and agreed with Evelynn but didn't ponder much as she believed whatever he did was for the good of their little empire.

Her initial impression was that Lea Weiss was believable and admirable, not willing to take a step back when questioned and humiliated. Therefore, unless she felt that it was absolutely a no, she decided that she wouldn't interfere.

"Haha." Davis took it back and couldn't help but chuckle, "How could it be? Yours and Shirley's Immortal Inheritance contains Immortal Grade Treasures that this kind of wealth wouldn't even compare."

His wealth consisted of 4.45 million Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments, 32 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, 2 Fire-Attributed, 2 Earth-Attributed, 7 Water-Attributed, 3 Ice-Attributed, 2 Yin-Attributed, 7 Wind-Attributed, and 2 Spatial-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources!

His previous assets were all spent for his marriages and to improve the Alstreim Family's infrastructures, formations, and resources. With his help, the Alstreim Family came to possess sixteen Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources underneath their Grand Alstreim City alone, not considering the single-digit Vein Sources they possessed before.

Nevertheless, combined with what he obtained now, it all amounted to a mind-boggling wealth of 15.4 million Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments and 194 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, inclusive of both attributed and non-attributed.

He could see why Evelynn and others would worry.

But still, how could it compare to what they carried in their Immortal Inheritances? Perhaps, if one took the earth-attribute and fire-attribute resources in the Emperor Grade Treasury of their Immortal Inheritances, their value alone might reach far than what he possessed at the moment.

"What use are those treasures when I can't use them now?"

Isabella pouted with annoyance before she smirked.

"Besides, what's mine is always yours."

Davis looked into her eyes as they romanced, but a confused voice interrupted.

"What about Peak-Level Spirit Stones? Are you two not going to count them? Those stones are considered wealth too..."

"Evelynn… Uhm," Isabella appeared forgetful before she wryly smiled, "Let's just say that there are more than a hundred billion Peak-Level Spirit Stones."

Evelynn: "…"

Looking at Evelynn's expression, Davis suppressed his laughter and spoke.

"Evelynn, do you think an immortal inheritor cares about spirit stones?"

"Pfft! Ahaha!"

Isabella burst out into a peal of laughter along with Davis, looking incredibly amused as she couldn't help but agree.

"Husband~ We have come a long way from being prominent figures in a village to prominent figures in a capital city..."

"Indeed."

Davis agreed while Evelynn couldn't help but smile.

For a moment, they all possessed heartened smiles on their faces as they looked at each other, seemingly having a good time.
