Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 863 Derailed Past - I

Tina Roxley blinked.

Water?

What the hell is spirit water going to divine?

Brandis Mercer narrowed his eyes before he became clear that the rectangular basin’s contents were not spirit water but something else entirely. He possessed no idea as to what it was, and much less determine if it would harm his disciple in any way.

He took a closer look at Aurelius and thought to himself if he could believe him with his disciple’s life. After all, even though they were sworn brothers, they had just reunited. He didn’t know much of Aurelius’s past, and what had he been doing all this time.

"Don’t look at me like that..." Aurelius noticed his sworn brother’s gaze before condensing his own blood essence in front of him, "I also have to sacrifice my own blood essence to perform this heavenly technique. It took a hundred years alone for me to learn this technique that I gained from an inheritance, which made me follow the path of becoming a Mystic Diviner. Don’t look down on it, or even I will get offended."

Aurelius no longer bothered with Brandis Mercer and looked at Tina Roxley.

"Alright, drop your blood essence into the basin."

Tina Roxley looked at the suspicious water an instant. She only hesitated for a bit before she flicked her finger, sending the blood essence into the basin.

"That’s the courage!" Aurelius’s body rose to chuckle.

The blood essence fell on the suspicious water, and as if disappearing, it completely vanished in a second. It was like snow rapidly dissolving in the water.

*Rumble!~*

The room’s space shook, the flow of time became erratic, and the unique liquid in the basin started to reverberate as layers and layers of ripples formed, being affected as if there were an earthquake!

Brandis Mercer blinked in disbelief, wondering how Aurelius was doing this, and he finally couldn’t help but truly wonder if Aurelius is as he said, a fabled Mystic Diviner!?

Aurelius’s expression was solemn. He held his hands together and seemed to be chanting something as his lips moved imperceptibly. He mumbled more and more before his voice became clear.

"I have spent five hundred years, comprehending the Laws of Time in Alternating Time Flow Valley, and four hundred years, comprehending Laws of Space in the Distorted Skies of Yonder and thousand years, comprehending the Laws of Karma by interacting and sowing seeds with countless people, only to reap it in the end."

"Using this Divine Heaven Mirror Water, I, Aurelius, will divine Tina Roxley’s future!"

"Heaven’s Divination - A Glimpse into the Future!"

Instantly, space stopped quaking, and the time became normal. The ripples and waves on the unique liquid receded before it became calm. However, an image formed on the mysterious water. It left Brandis Mercer and Tina Roxley feeling surreal, and disbelief.

The image actually formed a person. Judging by the build, it seemed to be a man who was around twenty years of age.

The first image that appeared was a masked man standing on the street looking at something, but even the mask’s features were blurred, causing Tina Roxley to frown as she could not see the man’s face.

"Who is this person?" She subconsciously asked.

"Oh? The fact that this masked person appeared first on your divination meant that this person has a big part in your future. Who knows? I wouldn’t be even surprised if it were your man." Aurelius replied, but each of his nerves was taut, and his expression was pale.

It could be seen that he might’ve overdrafted his energy.

"My man!?" Tina Roxley exclaimed before she incredulously looked at the masked figure.

"I just said that it might be your man. We won’t know before we see the end result of the divination. After all, in the end, he might be the reason for your death if you were to die in this divination."

Tina Roxley’s heart sank.

However, Aurelius’s expression became joyous.

"Still, the clarity of the projection that has appeared is beyond my expectations! So this is what would happen if the person being divined willingly sacrificed their blood essence!"

"Aurelius! You tricked her!!" Brandis Mercer shouted in rage.

So it was also for improving himself!

"Hey! Who is tricking who? Do you know the cost of single divination? It might not be worth your entire fortune! Besides, I’ve sacrificed two percent of my blood essence compared to Tina Roxley’s five percent! I’m doing this because you’re my brother. Don’t waste my goodwill!" Aurelius laid down the facts and harrumphed in displeasure.

"Continue..." Tina Roxley suddenly uttered.

"Hmph! You don’t even have the determination your disciple has..." Aurelius sneered and continued.

Brandis Mercer’s expression twitched.

Normally, Tina Roxley would’ve not let this insult to her master pass, but thousands of thoughts were running on her mind. Only the projection of the divination was on her mind right now.

Although Brandis Mercer had many things to ask and say, he calmed himself down to see how this so-called divination would play out.

The projection changed, and it was now a scene that played out in front of their silent atmosphere.

The masked man walked into a particular building and encountered a female figure. It was none other than herself, Tina Roxley, in the distorted projection.

Tina Roxley became shocked to see herself, but she recognized the building, and she was greatly familiar with it since she was also the receptionist of this building, "It’s the Roxley Auction House!"

"If I’m not wrong, this is where you two probably meet for the first time." Aurelius nodded his head.

He had divined many people, so he was somewhat knowledgeable about the sequence of the projection.

The image in the Divine Heaven Mirror Water changed again. Tina Roxley and the masked man seemed to be talking in a room while Tina Roxley held out a letter of sorts. It was not clear, and the other two weren’t able to point out what it is, but Tina Roxley had seen this envelope many times before. It was the invitation letter to the underground auction of the Roxley Family.

It was unknown what had happened after the masked man grasped the letter from Tina Roxley’s soft hands, but the projection changed again.

This time, the masked man once again entered the Roxley Auction House, but the scene changed again quickly and projected an alleyway. In the narrow alleyway, the masked man bowed and clasped his hand before saying something as his lips moved.

Tina Roxley seemed to shake her hands, her expression seeming to say that it was nothing, and it was fine.

The masked man bowed once again and clasped his hand as if thanking deeply before removing his mask.

A young face appeared in the Divine Heaven Mirror Water. Only his blonde hair and sapphire eyes could be differentiated from the slightly blurred projection, and as for his appearance, it warranted that the man should be below twenty years old.

The young man patted his chest before leaving the alleyway, seemingly leaving a conflicted Tina Roxley behind.

"What does uncle master think?" This time, Tina Roxley specifically asked Aurelius.

Aurelius shook his head, "I can’t say for sure, but it seems that you helped him at the auction house and, in doing so, managed to gain his goodwill?"

Tina Roxley nodded her head as if she had conceived similar conclusions after seeing the divination’s progress.
