Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2238: Revitalizing The Deal

Myria became stunned before she slightly lowered her head, raising her hand to rub her temple as though relieving the headache she had got just now.

“Will you ever stop courting death?” Her lips moved, causing Davis to crack a smile, making him wonder if Ellia was making a ruckus inside her soul sea for him.

“It’s not like I want to court death, and it’s not like that person is important, but by doing this, I will know what to do when I lose someone precious. Besides, one of my lovely cousins still thinks of that person deeply, so that person is the best person to revive. After all, if it succeeds, not anyone can enjoy the benefits of having a life again.”

Myria stared at this smiling expression with a scrutinizing gaze before she heaved a breath.

“Look, reviving someone is not something you can do just because you want to do it. Besides, do you think I’m going to teach you a revival technique just because you asked me to?”

“So you do indeed have a technique for it. My respect for you has deepened.”

“Complimenting me won’t get you anywhere.”

“I’m not trying to lick your bottom either.”

“Insolent!”

*Bzzzz!~*

Oppressive soul undulations surged from Myria, falling on Davis, but his soul erupted with an iridescent radiance, practically toppling hers as they clashed, causing Myria’s eyes to widen. However, Davis’s oppressive soul undulations abruptly lost ground, falling back to the center, their undulations clashing with intensity.

With a wave of their hands, the both of them canceled their suppression at the same time, leaving behind a breeze of iridescent glitter that made it look like it was raining black and white shiny droplets.

Myria’s face blushed upon hearing his words. She clenched her teeth so hard before somehow calming herself down, her eyes closing and opening before she exuded a stifled calmness that appeared like it could explode at any time again.

“When will you ever stop being crass? How many times do I have to say that I don’t like it?”

“…” Davis pursed his lips, “I… I apologize.”

He even censored ‘ass’ with ‘bottom’, but it seemed like it was still senseless and crass to a lady like her.

‘Right, she was a Saintess…’ He recalled, feeling slightly bad as he apologized.

After all, he really did try to provoke her to a level that she doesn’t become too offended so that he can compare their prowess.

Myria saw that his voice contained a bit of rue, making her look away. Her bosoms heaved, not knowing what to do with this shameless person who haunted her for her knowledge while not even willing to become her disciple.

Was there any person in the world who was as naive as to teach all her knowledge to a stranger than her?

The conflict she felt was beyond compare, her eyes turning to look at him with stifled anger.

“You do realize that this debt is going to be huge, one that will practically have your life in my hands?”

“An additional five percent of the Chaos Essence Orb,” Davis added five percent to the previous deal, bringing it to twenty-five percent.

“Additional ten percent.” Myria trembled as she raised her finger to point at him.

“I’ll have you know what you’re giving is cheap when compared to learning a revival technique. A hundred percent of the Chaos Essence Orb is more apt for the exchange, but I’ll settle for thirty percent. Otherwise, you would gain little from the Grand Chaos Body Art. After the exchange, you’ll have a quarter of the complete debt remaining. Accept the deal or leave.”

Davis blinked before he nodded his head, “Then I’m in your debt again.”

He knew what she was telling was the truth.

The Unfettered Earthly Reincarnation Scripture was far more valuable than the Chaos Essence Orb, and now, a revival technique that is compatible with the manual should cost more than the Unfettered Earthly Reincarnation Scripture itself.panda-novel,c,om

Exchanging the Chaos Essence Orb should be the lowest price to pay, but Myria was more considerate, allowing him to practice the Grand Chaos Body Art. However, Davis didn’t feel like exchanging the Chaos Essence Orb was the right price to pay either, as he felt like he could perform revival on someone with just Fallen Heaven.

What he wanted was to know the intricacies behind it and do it by himself so that Fallen Heaven wasn’t his only reliability.

So the value he placed on the technique was lesser than what she placed. However, he kept quiet about it as she was already considerate and only let a quarter of the debt remain, which surprised him. The right remaining debt for the current deal would be at the very least three-quarters, according to him.

He couldn’t help but feel more grateful, but his face was not showing many expressions.

Myria lowered her hand as she clenched her fist.

“Who do you want to revive? What kind of cultivation does that person possess?”

“A man named Glyn.” Davis didn’t hesitate to answer now that a deal was in place, “His cultivation is around the Fifth-“

“That’s all?” Myria seemed genuinely surprised.

“Yes. Why?”

“Compared to your current karmic burden, reviving such a weak person is like adding a droplet to the ocean. Ellia was worried for nothing. However, when did this person die?”

“Sigh, I guess it’s almost going to be a decade…”

“Ten years? Have you stored the body in a frozen state? If you did not, then you need some type of body reconstruction pill. Reviving a person would just revive their soul, and without a vessel, they might simply pass away depending upon their soul’s lifespan. For a person who has not even crossed the Fifth Stage, I doubt they would be able to survive without a vessel, at which point, they might need to possess someone, but if they possess someone, then their soul would become contaminated.”

“It’s fine.” Davis nodded, not doubting her words, “I have Glyn’s body, although it’s in an injured state. We can just heal after we bring his soul from the dead back, right?”

“That’s fine too.” Myria hesitantly nodded, “However, if that Glyn died around ten years ago, then it should be impossible to revive him.”

“What?” Davis raised his brows, not having expected Myria to say those words.

“Is it because of the time period? Was I too late?” He couldn’t help but ask, becoming worried for Lucia as he had indirectly said to not give up hope.

Those two, although they hadn’t exchanged their feelings, had bonded a lot amidst missions and predicaments while he went back to marry Evelynn and stayed three years together with her. However, what use was Lucia’s love when she only realized it after Glyn died?

There was only regret left in her heart, and he wanted to remove it. In a way, he had given her hope, and he didn’t want to break it.

But now, Myria was saying that he was too late?

“It’s not that.” Myria suddenly spoke after a pause, shaking her head.

“It doesn’t matter if he died ten years ago or thousand years ago or even ten minutes ago. The reincarnation cycle would’ve claimed his soul already, allowing him to reincarnate. However, since you’re asking me for a way to revive a person, I assume you collected his soul essence when he died, but it’s useless since you would’ve only collected his seven physical souls and not the three spiritual souls.”

“Sealing the three spiritual is are what’s important to make sure that they don’t go back to the cycle of reincarnation and reincarnate according to the karma they incurred. That’s why revival must be done within the first five minutes of death or seal the soul essence with a spirit formation. As for how long that spirit formation holds the soul essence, that depends on various factors, like the strength of the soul essence and the power of the spirit formation.”

“The more the strength of the soul essence, the greater the pull of the reincarnation cycle. The more the power of the spirit formation, the greater it can resist the pull of the reincarnation cycle.”

“Again, it’s fine.” Davis innocently spoke, “I reaped his three spiritual souls without fail.”

“Impossible…” Myria’s eyes were wide in shock, “… physical souls and spiritual souls are not even visible to mortals, and only immortals could interact with physical souls. The best immortals could do is to seal the spiritual souls along with the soul essence while not separating them, unlike me, who can deal with both due to my reincarnation energy. How could you, more than ten years ago when you were not this strong…? Unless…”

“Yeah. It’s just as you think…”

Davis lightly nodded, causing Myria to stare at him with a complicated gaze.

“The more I learn about it, the more I think I was fated with it.”

“…” Davis blandly smiled, unable to disagree.
