Divine Emperor of Death

Half a month later, Davis, Clara, and Mo Mingzhi arrived at the Royal Castle.

He led Mo Mingzhi to the maids in the Royal Castle and directed them to assign a room for her to stay.

During this half a month travel, he was barraged by Mo Mingzhi with an awful amount of questions. His initial determination to stay silent was broken by her constant blabbering mouth and her witty lips.

Answering a few at the beginning, he gradually stopped answering her questions since her curiosity seemed to be endless.

Besides, since she was a mortal, they had to take a few breaks every day in some rural parts of the continent to eat and relieve but in order to fill the in the time lost, he sped up a little.

He realized that taking care of a healthy mortal was no easy task while he felt as if she was a sick cultivator who had her stomach upset.

Now, Davis finally heaved a sigh of relief after leaving her in the care of the maids. As soon as he left her in the care of the castle maids, he disappeared from Clara's view.

Clara blinked as she thought, 'Shouldn't we report our findings to royal father?'

She indiscernibly shook her head and left.

A few seconds later, Davis appeared in front of his room and knocked.

The door opened and the figure who languidly stood by the door had a blank expression on its face before being stunned into disarray.

"I'm back... Evelynn." Davis raised his brows at her silly expression yet dumbfounded expression.

Evelynn's two small eyes were wide as saucers. She suddenly threw herself at him and sank into his embrace, tightly clinging on to him as if she would never let him go again.

Davis just smiled and reciprocated her hug.

"You came back so soon..." Evelynn spoke, her tone filled with disbelief.

Davis chuckled, "So soon?"

A day, it only took a day for him to return since he hadn't been able to explore the mysterious spaces.

Exploring the space seemed time-consuming to the extreme. He imagined that he would rather explore it with Evelynn in the deathly silent space, making up more than half of his thought to return back.

Although he felt sorry to Clara, he felt that he would have to make it up to her another time.

Evelynn moved her head back to face him, "I thought you wouldn't return for years..."

Davis caressed her head and pulled her close to plant a kiss on her luscious lips, and without any suspense, Evelynn reciprocated his actions by sharing the same passion.

A few seconds later, they separated their lips and looked at each other as they smiled.

Evelynn slightly looked around and was relieved that no saw them doing that out in the hallway. She grasped his hands and took him to their room.

"Truly, you returned so soon. I had prepared myself thinking that you won't return for about 2 or 3 years..."

Davis smiled on hearing her joyful tone, "Initially, that may have been the case, but I and Clara encountered some problems in the Third Layer."

"Third Layer?" Evelynn brows curved inwardly towards her nose bridge. She confusedly asked as she only knew about the First Layer and the Second Layer as explained by her husband once.

Seeing her confusion, Davis proceeded to explain about the Third Layer, and then promptly decided that it was time to reveal some hard to digest facts.

"Evelynn, I think that it's time you knew one or two of my secrets..."

Evelynn widened her eyes and suddenly turned anxious. The man she had her life tied with had many secrets that she had no way of knowing of, and this more or less caused her some stress when she was idle.

That's why she had decided not to bother about it, and immerse herself in cultivation while placing her entire trust in him.

Davis prepared himself to take a load of his mind. He didn't feel it was fair to leave her out in the dark. He imagined not knowing anything about Evelynn, his only wife, and instantly felt the frustration of that feeling.

His only course of action at that point would be to know about her more and felt that it would be only right if he reciprocated his thoughts. He had already told her once that he would share his secrets with her when the time eventually arrives, and he felt it was none other than this moment.

The suspicious fact that he was Davis all along also gave him enough courage to share his origin.

He set up a barrier purely conjured from his soul force to prevent peeking and considered where he should start from for a few seconds.

He suddenly opened his mouth, "In truth, I have no master..."

Evelynn blinked once and paused for a while but her eyes then suddenly widened as she took a step back, "What?"

'No master? Did I hear it right? '

She couldn't believe her ears!

Davis simply nodded his head to her bewildered expression.

Evelynn looked at his expression and gradually understood that he was not fooling around with her.

She turned a little confused before asking with a shocked expression on her face, "Then that million army was massacred by who exactly?"

Davis just replied, "Evelynn, I told you that I'm no good person..."

Evelynn paused for a second. Her face suddenly exhibited a variety of emotions, "They were killed by you!?"

"Yes..." Davis nodded.

Evelynn had her hands on her agape mouth as she stared at him in disbelief.

She slowly came back to herself as she spoke again in skepticism, "You... You should be just about 6 years old at that time..."

Davis opened his mouth as soon as her words ended, "Yes, I was around 6 years old at that point when I massacred those people,"

Evelynn instantly took a step towards him, "It's fine, you did nothing wrong. It's either killed or be killed."

A smile lit up her face as her eyes turned gentle, "If it weren't for you, I imagine that I would've been violated and killed by enemy forces at that time since I belong to the noble family who sided with your family... So, even if you killed all of them, it is only right since they were the ones who started the war!"

Davis turned stunned, "Evelynn..."

However, he also felt moved. He was glad that she understood his actions and even consoled him by pointing out her potential yet tragic future from that point.

If it were any other person, he imagined that they would be a hypocrite and judge him to be evil for defending himself and his people by massacring millions.

After all, a few million wasn't a small number, and powerful cultivators wouldn't have even killed that much in their entire life unless they followed an evil path.

Such people who massacred millions were in the minority yet Davis was undoubtedly in the list with them. It wouldn't be that much of a surprise if his own wife were to see him in a different light after knowing about this matter.

Fortunately, he was relieved that she took his side on this matter.

Evelynn moved a little closer as he held his cheeks, "You've already shown mercy to them by not pursuing that matter to their respective empires."

"Could it be that we should choose to forgive and forget after all the kingdoms that they've destroyed as they passed by? Even if we spared them, would they have reciprocated our kindness?"

Davis became stunned again as he heard her words.
