Divine Emperor of Death

Myria kept shuddering.

To Davis, it was obvious she couldn't think straight, even if he tried to calm her down. He wasn't his main body, so his calming powers would rarely work on her soul physique, so he turned to look at the World Master.

"I know what a soul quintessence is, but what exactly is it?"

"A true soul's very first origin. It is present when the soul was created, and it conceptualized its first life. After the soul gets repeatedly ground reincarnation after reincarnation, it eventually loses its quintessence, so such a thing has been long lost unless one could make it to the Empyrean Stage and revive their soul's quintessence. Myria's Eternal Life Soul is such a soul even without becoming an Empyrean because she is the first incarnation, and you should more or less be connected to her soul quintessence."

The World Master calmly answered, causing Davis to lower his head.

"You were wrong when you said I am Myria's son. After all…"

Davis explained what he learned.

The yang soul wisp split from Myria's Eternal Life Soul, which had shattered and died. It had no Will to speak. However, something happened and it reformed, but it had lost its luster, becoming a normal soul wisp like any other soul wisp he had seen on the bridge before it entered the reincarnation wheel.

To Davis, who had crossed from the yang soul wisp to Tian Long and then Davis Loret with the help of Fallen Heaven, he was far from being related to Myria.

Otherwise, he would've long seen a pink familial thread connecting him with Myria when using Fallen Heaven's karmic powers, or even Ellia, for that matter.

"…"

The World Master was facing the projection, so he couldn't see her reaction, but the World Master's expression was full of shock right now.

'The Grimoire of Fate forged in the Primeval Universe Ruins and treated as an outcast by the heavens can still see what went on in the Three-Layered Universe's Reincarnation Dimension…?'

She had only suggested it as an idea and didn't think it would actually work.

She went silent, having many things to ponder, but eventually smiled.

"Listen well-"

========

After some time, Davis and Myria reappeared in their home, right before Tina and Dalila, who stayed.

"Whoa~ They're back~"

"That was a bit longer than we expected. Look, the Sixth Hidden Pagoda's trial has ended…"

Tina and Dalila didn't think it was strange they were gone as it wasn't the first time. They knew Davis and Myria shared many secrets ever since the time when every soul in the First Haven World was tugged for some reason.

Dalila redirected them to the Candidacy, but it didn't take the two of them to feel something was wrong as Myria took two steps back and looked away.

"Myria, I told you already-"

"I know."

Myria clenched her fists, her shoulders trembling, "Just give me some time to ponder on it."

"There's nothing to ponder on, Myria. We are husband and wife. That will never change, and you promised that to me yourself."

"I did… and I am ashamed to know that my determination was not as firm as I thought it would be. The World Master was right about me…"

Myria shuddered into raising her head high before she walked away from the chamber.

Davis wanted to stop her, but he also felt that it might be good to give her some fresh air. He understood that this was too much to bear for her, coming to know that she might've had dual cultivation with a yang soul of herself, which was no different than pleasuring oneself but worse, selfcest.

However, she saw how he had passed through the reincarnation wheel once, so the reality was he wasn't her yang soul.

However, it remains to be argued that human emotions are complex.

Even if he wasn't her yang soul currently, it would take some time for her to accept it as he was once her yang soul.

In addition to this strange situation, she might be grieving the loss of her first yang soul that tried to be born every nine incarnations but couldn't until it was finally born, only to be shattered and lose relation with her.

It was hard to say what was going on in her heart.

After all, he wasn't Myria, a woman who had undergone a thousand reincarnations and experienced a thousand lives with them, no matter how insignificant their life was.

"W-What's going on…?"

Tina uttered, her expression slightly panicked. Dalila also had wide eyes, but she remained silent, not confident enough to intrude into this matter as it almost seemed like they were… separating?

Davis turned to look at them, his expression a bit solemn. He stared at them for a bit too long, causing them to lower their heads for no reason while in his head, he was wondering if he should openly state that he had such a past, not that he could see any use from it other than creating pandemonium.

Hiding secrets that could be opened wasn't his style, but he had high reservations about this one.

However, there was one person who deserved to know what was going on, and that person was Ellia.

He remembered how after that yang soul was born, Ellia's soul came right after. He couldn't believe they had met even before she became his personal maid, but more importantly, the fact that she was once his little sister, even if it was for a few seconds.

'But as World Master said… human standards couldn't be applied to soul relationships and even spirits copy their relationships from humans but don't follow it as they engage in intimate relationships with family…'

Davis smilingly shook his head. Myria and Ellia couldn't even decide if they were mother-daughter or twin sisters. So where would he come about there if he wasn't a son? A twin brother- no, a triplet brother?

Fortunately, he didn't need to think deeply about that because he was Davis Loret and not Tian Long or that yang soul.

"Nothing to worry about. Just some mid-life identity crisis…"

Davis waved his hand casually as he smiled at Tina and Dalila, reassuring them.

"…"

Tina and Dalila didn't buy it, but they nodded their heads.

Davis refocused his gaze and looked at the Candidacy, smiling as the results were good for Evelynn and the others. Unfortunately, the Third Hidden Pagoda was yet to be finished because of the lack of people in the southwest end and the circular barricade imposed by the crystal beast, so this situation was surely to last until the seventh day.

Then only would the Empyrean Stage Crystal Beasts leave.

However, things were still dangerous, with everyone being teleported out in different directions. It seems that only those who came from the same power seem to be teleported together, so other than Evelynn, everyone else was safer.

But Davis didn't worry because she was in a safe place. She appeared near a Crystal Gate and was able to leave if she encountered danger.

He wondered if this was World Master's influence, but the placement seemed quite random so far.

Nonetheless, he recalled his main body, appearing in a garden.
