Divine Emperor of Death - Chapter 4401
Chapter 4401: Peace For A Day
Amidst the silence, the Divine Emperor of Death opened his mouth.
“Welcome, everyone. For you all to have put away your busy schedule to come join this wonderful occasion and meet us under these strange circumstances, I, as the head of the Davis Family, feel quite honored. Especially, it is thanks to Venerable Knight Lussandra for allowing us to co-exist under the same skies.”
“…”
Venerable Knight Lussandra glared at him, but Davis acted like he didn’t see, continuing.
“Contrary to popular belief, I’m not as ruthless as you think I am unless provoked, so as long as there are no funny moves made, you can be sure by the end of the day, I’ll just be spending time with the bride and you can all go home without experiencing what would be called- a trip to the reincarnation cycle.”
Davis’s lips curled into a deep smile.
He couldn’t be bothered to treat them as equals, as he knew they wouldn’t see him the same way, given the chance. He made his words clear. If they dared to do anything funny, then he wouldn’t show any mercy. He turned to look at the seating where the Davis Family and other families were seated.
From his parents to old acquaintances who were still with them, they were all seated, looking at him with awe as he commanded Realm Masters to adhere to his presence.
Claire heaved a long breath. Sometimes, she failed to register that her son was an amazing individual. His behavior would state otherwise, always trying to make funny jokes in front of them.
Once he let his words out, Davis didn’t bother with them anymore and waited for the bride to arrive.
Today, he was turning off whatever enmity he might have with the powers here.
There was the notorious Three-Headed Hydra’s Realm Master, Velkran Tridon.
Davis guessed he was maybe somewhat aware of the Six-Headed Hydra from the other galaxy. However, he doubted he would know about the Hell Poison Gem or why the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnids were targeted in the first place.
Still, it was true that they did support the extermination of the Xylusc Clan, so there was a huge debt to be returned.
Regardless, he chose not to pursue it today since he was in a good mood on a good day.
He wanted to make this as grand as possible and also not turn it into a crimson wedding, which would only make Lea sad.
The powers present were curious.
Some were also furious, like the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm’s Daynight Family.
They had passed by Mingzhi, so they were finally able to confirm that she did indeed practice their cultivation manual. She had stolen it somehow, but what could they do to pursue?
There was nothing they could do to her since she was more powerful than them all. Another point was that they could not offend the Divine Emperor of Death, so it could be said that they could only clench their teeth and curse inwardly while keeping their hand, not even able to complain or make this day a bloody red.
Suddenly, a Seven-Colored Phoenix descended from the skies, its ear-piercing yet soothing cry resounding throughout heaven and earth.
It was none other than Skylia.
Her majestic figure instantly caught everyone’s eyes and what’s more, she was at King-Tier, making their hearts skip a beat.
Regardless, their attention was quickly grabbed by something else.
On her back was none other than the bride and two others who held her hands. They were Evelynn and Myria. Together, they descended from the Seven-Colored Phoenix’s back and delivered her to Davis.
Davis looked at Lea, the world around him disappearing.
She was draped in robes of scarlet and rose-gold, her veil woven from the highest quality silk that one could obtain in the Lower Realms.
Lea smiled behind her veil. While her intent couldn’t be any clearer, her gaze was also full of pride.
Davis reached out his hand and grabbed hers, appearing full of affection. He looked over them and nodded at Evelynn and Myria for beautifying Lea to this degree, making her dazzling. In his eyes, she was undoubtedly the star of this day.
Together, they walked towards the altar atop the fire lotus at the center. As they moved, they were flanked by gentle orbs of light. They walked down a skyflame bridge- a bridge that was said to be harder to traverse the more they were unsure of this occasion, but looking at them breeze through it, the guests were quite taken aback.

They did not understand why an Anarchic Divergent like him would be so well received. So what if he was dazzling? It was only going to be for a short moment, no more than a hundred years.
Why were these heavenly beauties wasting their lives? They had no answer.
At this moment, Ancestor Cornelia stepped forward and went to the altar to preside over the ceremony.
“Two hopeful flames try to become one. Death and rebirth- life and growth, let this union last longer than the world~”
Ancestor Cornelia read out a scripture, slowly voicing out while striking the bell in her grasp. Phoenix flames from the altar flared around them, forming a fiery veil that cloaked them briefly. They looked dazzling on the altar, becoming a source of envy for the young supreme geniuses who also wanted such a powerful woman as their partner.
After they were done listening to the scriptures according to the Burning Phoenix Ridge’s customs, Davis and Lea sat down on the wide throne together. The altar then began to hover as the giant lotus petals began spinning, giving space to the center.
Everyone knew the marriage wasn’t over yet, as they hadn’t exchanged vows. However, they felt something welling up. It was announced later, or better said, it was rumored, something that made all the supreme geniuses who were left or came back want to try.
At this moment, countless dishes were brought in as Illumina’s clones filled the palace.
“This is a joyful occasion.” Davis waved his hand, “Eat well. Still, how can there be no fanfare, especially a battle between fellow geniuses? Those who want to challenge one of my people in order to obtain Empyrean Grade Resources collected from the secret realm in the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm, step forward and name yourself. Our side will also send a suitable opponent if we have one. If not, we’ll try to suppress our cultivation base to your level.”
‘This is it…’
The Realm Masters and the others, especially the supreme geniuses, were keen. This is the utmost reason why they had all agreed to gather.
Treasures!? How could they not act to get them when it was available!?
