During the time he massacred them, Davis didn’t think about all these philosophical concepts. He only had one thought in mind, and that was to make the two Fifth Stage Powerhouses retreat in fear.
With the prowess he controlled through Fallen Heaven at that time, he could’ve only achieved that by putting on a mysterious show while secretly massacring that million army to scare them off.
His gamble paid off and those two powerhouses were absolutely scared off.
If it weren’t for his ruthlessness, it wasn’t hard for him to imagine what would’ve happened supposing they weren’t scared off but chose to test ’mysterious senior’s’ patience.
Davis came back to himself and saw her face which was earnestly trying to console him.
Looking at Evelynn’s sincere gaze, he turned amused but also joyful.
He placed his hands on her shoulders and shook his head, "I’ve come past that and it no longer bothers me."
Indeed, they had been the ones who started the war, but he had just killed one Mo Wuming and a few prisoners who deserved death before and then suddenly massacred over a few million people.
It would be a lie if he said that the latter didn’t affect him in any way.
He had indeed been plagued by that matter for a short while after massacring but that was it. It didn’t take too long to get that burden off of his heart.
"You’re a good person..." Evelynn bit her lips as she replied.
Davis blinked as a smile spread over his face. So, that’s why she had been consoling him.
To prove that he was good? Well, he certainly didn’t think he was one since he always felt that he was neutral rather than good or evil.
Nevertheless, he would be good for her.
Other than these philosophical ideologies and moral values, there was the concept of Karma, which was a valid law under the heavens, spread throughout the First Layer.
He heard it from Old Man Garvin that Karma Laws were mostly used to create a connection between two or more objects, as for whether if it were a living being or not, it didn’t matter.
After comprehending Karma Laws a bit, he was slightly bewildered to see that there was no negative karma clinging to him.
There was none, absolutely none.
Killing all those million people incurred no negative karma? Even if they were evil, he should’ve gained positive trait karma but also didn’t possess it.
He was bewildered by this matter but eventually brushed it off by thinking that his Karma Laws weren’t strong enough to make him able to perceive that negative or positive karma yet.
"Can you say the same after you heard this other secret of mine?" Davis’s lips curved into a grin, however, it was one of a challenge.
Evelynn nodded her head without missing a beat.
Davis prepared himself for a few seconds before opening his mouth to explain.
While removing Fallen Heaven out of the equation, he managed to explain his story in a detailed manner from the beginning of his life.
On how he was a pitiful mortal who was rapidly losing his vitality.
On how he had crossed a space tunnel to enter the Grand Sea Continent and possess the little Davis with the help of a heavenly treasure.
On how he had opened up to his mother about it, lying that he had not possessed but reincarnated into this body.
On how he had spent his time, living his life as Davis from the time he was 3 years old.
On how he had just returned to his previous life’s world and managed to find a clue about truly being migrated over to his next incarnation which actually turned out to be the little Davis.
All this took him an hour to explain.
He expressed a wry smile, "As you can see, I’ve lived the life of a lie but it turned out to be my true life if my conjecture was correct."
Some of the parts actually couldn’t be explained since it concerned the secrets of Fallen Heaven.
He just brushed it off, saying that he had obtained a heavenly treasure that possessed immense power and knowledge carried within it.
"Now, tell me if I’m a good person or not?" Davis said as he stood up and took a step back from the bed.
During the explanation, at one point, they both sat on the bed as Davis explained and Evelynn listened. Evelynn had expressed numerous expressions on her face the entire time, however, stayed silent without interrupting a single time.
"I’ll give you some time to think it over... Also, I will not apologize for not telling you this before our marriage..."
Evelynn looked at Davis with a lost expression on her face. She had expressed disbelief at numerous points of his explanation and was at a loss for words at this point.
"See, I’m not a good person." Davis turned and left in complex strides.
His back felt like it had taken off a burden but with it came a worry to see if Evelynn will ever accept him after knowing about this matter.
Maybe he felt that he could’ve left her in the dark but that didn’t feel right to him.
As companions who truthfully shared their entirety with each other, it just didn’t feel right to have this type of secrets hidden before one and another.
Besides, he also knew that there were dangers from sharing one’s secrets. For that sole reason, the only secret he withheld from her was about Fallen Heaven.
Maybe in time, when there were no more threats for them to face, he would tell her about it.
After all, he could tell that there may be some mind-reading techniques out there or even hypnosis techniques which makes them open up about everything.
He didn’t mind the enemy knowing about his messed up past but coming to know about Fallen Heaven was a no-no, that was why he didn’t opt to tell her but instead just mentioned that it was a heavenly treasure.
Evelynn slowly saw his back distancing from her view. Her heart screamed that she should answer his question now but her tongue was at a loss for words.
Her hand stretched out trying to reach for him but her mind also stopped her hand from lifting up, making her hand tremble in reluctance.
Davis just turned to see one last time, giving off a smile and a few words casually before leaving the room, "You should just have some time to think over it, no hurries..."
Evelynn’s hand stopped trembling. She put her hand down on the bed and glanced at the tiled surface as she clenched her trembling fists. Tears glided on her cheeks and stained her silky clothes that were draped over her thighs.
======
Davis walked on the hallway, making his way over to the throne hall because he swept his senses and noticed that both his father and mother were over there, along with a few people, including Clara.
He awkwardly hummed a little and thought back to how his senses accidentally discovered Evelynn crying after he left.
’Well, she would have to digest all that bullshit of mine, not knowing whether it was really the truth or not...’
’Truly, being the scum I am, I’ve given her a hard fact to digest.’ Davis could only hope that she would accept him again at this point.
’Well, even if she did not accept me, I have no plans for letting her go away from me, not even over my dead body...’
"Teacher, you look somewhat pale..."
"Eh?" Davis became startled.
He panned his head and saw Timi worriedly look at him before the entrance of the Throne Hall.
