Divine Emperor of Death

Myria had told him this name when she shared her emotions with him about his unknown past. He didn't expect to hear such a name again, so he looked at her with shock, wondering what was going on for Myria's first incarnation to appear in relation to his past.

However, the scene changed again.

This time, it was on a mountain cliff.

There was a baby on the cliff there, crying for some time before some bandits captured or saved her and sold her to some village for some cheap change.

"Fei La…"

Myria uttered again.

How could she not recognize the first two incarnations she went through? She remembered them like she remembered her own life.

The projection didn't show Fei La's life for long.

It changed, and the scenery was now different than before, in addition to a new baby. This time, Myria's incarnation reappeared in an alley.

"Cavie Nost…"

She was taken by a man and replaced with someone else's baby, becoming a part of the Nost Family. It appeared to be a noble family.

Like before, the projection didn't show Myria's third incarnation for too long and skipped to the fourth.

This time, Myria abruptly shuddered, grasping Davis's hands firmly.

He knew something was up but continued to watch what happened.

The fourth reincarnation had appeared in a forest.

A wolf magical beast appeared, its height over two meters tall and its length appropriately long. It also appeared to be a newborn, only having lived for a few days. Attracted by the innocent cries of the baby, it appeared before the baby, sniffing before licking the face of the baby as though it bonded.

However, with one bite, it ripped off the baby's head and swallowed it before lapping up the tiny body and swallowing it whole. It shuddered and abruptly turned into a Saint Magical Beast, a Blaze Wolf, terrorizing the nearby village and decimating it before it was finally subdued by powerful cultivators who rejoiced on having found such a beast.

Myria lowered her head, trembling heavily.

Davis gnashed his teeth, "World Master, I thought you would show my past. Not Myria's past…"

It didn't make sense for the World Master to go through Myria's incarnations one by one and traumatize Myria again.

"It is only valid that you get to know her past before she knows yours. Besides, did I say anything about showing her past?"

The World Master's voice echoed out. She didn't look back nor stop the projection, skipping to the fifth incarnation.

Davis narrowed his brows.

Did World Master mean that his true origin could've possibly met one of Myria's incarnations and not Myria herself?

In that case, he could relax, but he quickly tensed, wondering if he did something bad to her incarnations.

Nonetheless, he continued to watch, but this time, the scenery was completely different from before. It was pure darkness, but a hint of light remained at the center. This light was a wisp and, if anything, was a life.

That was what Davis felt, and he could quickly tell that it was none other than Myria.

However, this wisp appeared to undergo some kind of change within, pulsating as a new layer appeared within it as though bubbling up.

Davis could slightly understand what was going on. He couldn't help but ask.

"World Master, are these your memories…?"

"That's right."

The World Master nodded, "I previously told the two of you that I was researching the birth of Myria's incarnations. I was monitoring the phenomenon she brings when she reincarnates into my universe in order to deal with the Primeval Law Treasure and finally managed to intrude upon that phenomenon in her fifth incarnation. Even then, I didn't make any moves and only monitored…"

Myria's eyes were slightly wide. She didn't seem to be offended but realized this was the space where she generated her incarnations, and the surrounding darkness could be the reincarnation cycle.

She could see the intricacies of her Eternal Life Soul absorbing the energy of the reincarnation cycle to give birth to a new soul of herself, a new life.

"So this is how you managed to comprehend my Eternal Life Soul's reincarnation aspect and create Saintess Lunaria and her dead twin…" Myria nodded.

"…"

The World Master remained silent before she answered a few seconds later.

"Yes~"

Due to being outwardly shown from the World Master's perspective, she was able to comprehend better what her Eternal Life Soul underwent. After all, she was unconscious at this stage as far as she could remember, her Eternal Life Soul automatically using its innate ability to reincarnate her into a new soul every time she or her incarnation died.

"Are you fine?" Davis held her hand close as he asked.

However, Myria grabbed his head and made him watch the projection.

"Keep your eyes wide, and don't let anything escape. This is important to comprehending Reincarnation Laws…"

"…"

Davis blinked before smiling lightly.

He was glad to see Myria still held her composure. However-

What was this? Was this supposed to be a comprehension session? He didn't think that the World Master was that kind. Besides, direct teaching would grant a high form of karmic burden.

He couldn't understand what she was thinking, but he obviously wouldn't let go of an opportunity to comprehend Reincarnation Laws better. However, the World Master didn't keep the projection on the fourth incarnation for that long.

As soon as the Eternal Life Soul created a new soul, the phenomenon occurred, and a baby appeared in the world out of thin air, flesh forming on top of the soul before it made a baby whole.

The baby started to cry as though it had just come out of a womb, but the World Master skipped to the sixth incarnation.

Now they could see the Eternal Life Soul spawning another new soul of the same kind as Myria as though it was undergoing cell division through mitosis but only duplicating itself to one other soul in order to bypass reincarnation through the Reincarnation Cycle.

This kept repeating the seventh incarnation and the eighth incarnation cycle.

The more they watched, the better they were able to comprehend Life Laws, Death Laws, and Reincarnation Laws. This was undeniably a great opportunity that would increase their understanding to their heights, but in the end, they were still wondering what this has in relation to Davis's true origin.

'Wait a minute… don't tell me I'm someone from the Reincarnation Cycle who noticed Myria's uniqueness…?'

Davis's heart sank.

He watched the ninth incarnation with trepidation in his heart, and that trepidation flowed to his entire body when he suddenly saw a change that wasn't present in the past incarnations.

The bubbling layer of the wisp within the wisp shuddered. Instead of overlapping with Myria's soul wisp, it actually regressed into a point and disappeared.

Then, the bubbling layer appeared once again, expanding to become a new soul.

Davis had his eyes narrowed.

It was somehow different, but he couldn't place his hand on what was exactly different other than the fact that the ninth incarnation's wisp receded only to be born again.

This continued to happen the next few incarnations, leaving Davis and Myria blinking before the World Master finally stopped the projection with a wave of her hand.

The World Master turned to look at them but remained silent.

Davis pursed his lips in doubt, "So? Where's my true origin?"

"These are my memories. How can I see you in there?"

"Wha-"Davis echoed a sound of confusion to the World Master's quick response.

Then why bother showing this? Could it be that the World Master really wanted him to comprehend the essence of the Eternal Life Soul?
