Divine Emperor of Death

Time passed as Davis refined the second soul that swirled around inside his Soul Sea.

He took twelve days to fully refine the two souls and enter the Adult Soul Stage.

He got mainly delayed by the bottleneck he encountered on the third day, so he stopped refining the soul on the third day and worked on breaking through the bottleneck.

On the tenth day, he broke through the Adult Soul Stage and continued cultivating his soul to the peak of the Low-Level Adult Soul Stage in the remaining two days.

Davis opened his eyes as he felt invigorated. Entering the Adult Soul Stage made him feel truly satisfied and refreshed.

He muttered while nodding his head in satisfaction, "It's been fourteen days. It's time to see my mother and remove that cursed soul seal which had been placed on her." His eyes flashed with fury as he thought about that matter. To him, nobody should even dare to harm his mother.

"Hey, Kid!" Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out.

"Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!"

*Boom* Davis shouted as he crashed into the ceiling which caused a tremendous sound to echo in the room.

He fell back and searched in multiple directions for the source of the voice as he shouted nervously, "Who!?"

He quickly extended his soul sense to every corner of the room but was not able to find the source of the voice.

"Kid, I am in you! Why are you searching outside?" The crisp voice echoed again in his mind.

"Eh?" Davis stood there stunned, he froze for a second before hurriedly checking inside his Soul Sea.

Davis immediately checked the Death Book, but it was the same as before. He hurriedly checked around the Soul Sea for an anomaly but couldn't find one no matter how he searched.

"Where are you looking at?" The crispy voice sounded out, this time he could accurately pinpoint the direction.

Davis's face was incomparably solemn as he turned to look at that direction.

"The Death Book..." His eyes widened as he muttered under his breath.

"Haha, you finally found me! I must say that you've far exceeded my expectations in leaving that wretched world which bound me. If not, I would've just died of boredom!"

"Just kidding, even I don't know if I will ever die, hahaha!" The crisp voice boomed out dumbfounding the incomparably solemn Davis.

"Are you the death book?" He asked with an idiotic expression on his face.

During the tenth day, he felt the Death Book palpitate in a frenzy, but he brushed it off as he thought that it was gaining a new ability.

"Why? Have you never seen a book talk? Oh, I forgot! You were from that wretched world, aren't ya? Heh!" The voice sneered.

"Death Book you say? How would I know? It is merely one of the names that I have when compared to the multitude of names that I have! Book of Despair, Evil Grimoire, The Book of Yin, Holy Scripture of Death and what not? All the names that I have were always relevant to death, haha!" The voice laughed for a while before turning sad, "I can see all the names of the living beings in the myriad of realms, but the only name I can't see is my own name! Tian Long!"

Hearing the name that he had long stored in the back of his head, his heart palpitated in fear.

"You! What do you want!?" Davis asked in fear. He felt the situation spiralling out of his control.

"What I want!? During my incomparably long life, I've commanded many things to my previous possessors so that I could satisfy my curiosity and interest. Kid, you're in luck. This time, I decided that I won't demand anything unreasonable of you since you skillfully brought me outside that wretched place!"

Davis relaxed, but he still didn't fully believe in its words, "Wretched place? Do you mean Earth?" He asked as he widened his eyes.

"Right, that's what you people call that place. I was stuck in that place for billions of years! Curse that existence who sealed me there!"

"Sealed you!? How did you get sealed!?" Davis got curious the moment it replied to his every question. He couldn't help but ask more questions.

"Logically, we are still sealed..." It didn't reply to his question but continued its words.

"What!?" Davis was stunned, "Does this mean that this place is still Earth!?"

"Idiot! What I meant was that this place is also in the sealed realm. That tiny planet of yours and the small space surrounding it can be considered the third layer of the sealed realm. This place can be considered the second layer of the sealed realm!"

"Tiny planet!?? Small space? No way!! People have discovered countless galaxies surrounding our galaxy!" He hurriedly denied it.

"Hahaha! You would rather believe the words of mortals than mine!? How amusing." It laughed, then sneered at his ignorance.

"Let me enlighten you! The existence who sealed me there created that place, so I have also witnessed its creation. Listen closely, the only planet that is habitable in that space is your Earth. The only galaxy you can explore is your galaxy. Other than that, all else is bogus, hahaha!"

"What do you mean!?" Davis narrowed his eyes as it shone with confusion.

"Don't you still understand? There's only one small galaxy, and all else is generated by an illusion formation that covers your entire galaxy. Anything else you see beyond that is fake! Even the laws you mortals comprehended were established by that existence! Science was it!? How laughable!!"

There was a moment of silence as Davis found it hard to believe its words.

"Your expression tells me that you don't believe me, fine leave it then, it is not relevant anymore after all. But have you ever thought about why you people of Earth can't cultivate?" The crisp voice sounded out as if it wanted to provoke Davis into asking the truth.

Davis opened his mouth, "Why!?" He always had that doubt. He felt that the people of earth were in no way inferior to the people here.

A few seconds passed before the crisp voice sneered, "Since you don't believe me, you can think for yourself!"

"Wait! I'll believe you!" Seeing that it won't answer his questions, he had no choice but to act as he believed in it.

"Heh! Good! It's pretty simple as that existence didn't wish for my rebirth, so that existence tightly sealed the third layer, preventing the heaven and earth energy from entering it. It is already rare for your people to cultivate a little that I even find it amazing for them to have some ability!" The crisp voice reverberated as if it was in wonder.

"It doesn't make sense! If the heaven and earth energy is prevented from entering the third layer, then how was I able to use that formation!?" Davis thought about it, and something still didn't make sense. In fact, to him, this whole situation didn't make sense!
