Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1599 - Original

In the confines of pitch-black space, a man was floating. He didn’t know which direction he was facing, but everything seemed empty, meaningless, and irrelevant. No thoughts were running in his head, neither did he try to think anything for himself. However, it wasn’t that he didn’t, but he couldn’t.

After some unknown amount of time, a semblance of glow appeared in that man’s eyes before he suddenly found himself in the soft hands of someone.

"Ue!~ Ue!~ Ueee!~"

He could feel himself crying, bawling out his eyes as he cried out.

’Ah shit. Here we go again...’

Was the man’s thought as he possessed a blurry sight. He couldn’t see well, but with the feeling of being wrapped around by two soft hands, pressed towards their bosoms, he knew what kind of scene this denoted.

He had become a baby. Or, should he say that he had entered reincarnation and reborn again with his previous memories?

’From Tian Long, Davis Loret to whom now? Fuck!’

Davis inwardly cursed.

However, he suddenly caught sight of the face of the mother and the father who looked upon him from behind the motherly face.

’Wait... I did not reincarnate, but this is... father and mother?’

Davis was shocked to see Logan and Claire holding him with relieved smiles on their faces. However, Logan’s expression swiftly changed into one of determination.

"Quick, take him away."

"No, please don’t!"

"Claire, you know we have to do this...! There’s no other way...!"

"No...!"

"This is for the safety of our child!"

The helpless voice of a mother and a determined father echoed.

Davis couldn’t see anything, but he could feel himself be pulled away from his mother’s embrace as he was given to someone else by his father. However, Davis knew who he was given to.

It was none other than Ray Nolan.

Ray Nolan changed his name to Gray after he became a mercenary in order to protect him. He wrapped him up in an ordinary cloth and escaped from the Loret Castle.

Time passed.

Davis thought he traveled back in time somehow and had a chance to restart again from the baby Davis’s body. However, he quickly knew he was very wrong when the baby began to move on its own, eat on its own, walk on its own, talk on its own, and before he knew it, he was almost three years old.

At this point, as he expected, Ray Nolan’s elder brother, Renard Nolan, came to pick him up on a wyvern, carrying him back to the Imperial Loret Castle.

"Hmph!"

Davis harrumphed, but it was not Davis himself but the three-year-old Davis who acted obnoxiously. Due to growing up playing in the streets and picking on other kids, the three-year-old Davis was crass and disrespectful, quite not to his liking.

Ray Nolan truly treated him well and put him on a pedestal, making the little Davis act arrogant as though he was a little emperor from the time he could understand how the world moved. Even though it appeared cute in the beginning, Davis found that little Davis was becoming increasingly reckless and wild.

It even got him into fights with the other mercenaries, but Ray Nolan stood up for him every time, killing the mercenaries with ruthlessness.

Indeed, Davis was stuck inside the three-year-old Davis, forced to watch him grow from a little baby to a walking, obnoxious child. He couldn’t bear to see what he was seeing, what was becoming of him, and at times, he felt like he needed to shut down his brain, although it didn’t seem to be possible.

Nevertheless, Davis only managed to see a few scenes in a blurry vision, and at this point, he already had an inkling of what was happening.

’This is my fate as the original Davis Loret, untouched by the everchanging fate of possessing Fallen Heaven...’

It was indeed his fate if he hadn’t obtained Fallen Heaven.

No, that was redundant thought that he rectified later. This was his fate after Fallen Heaven had probably abandoned him after entering the spatial tunnel in that secret temple. He assumed that his soul was annihilated by the spatial currents, allowing Davis Loret to be born and have a soul.

After all, the little Davis was actually in a coma in the first three years, but now, he was kicking alive. This also aligned with his initial assumptions of what he found after entering Earth.

Davis Loret was indeed the next life of Tian Long.

Soon, they reached the Loret Castle and reunited with Logan and Claire.

However...

*Paah!~*

’Shitty brat!!!’

Looking at himself slap Claire’s hands that reached out to embrace, rage enveloped Davis. However, no matter how he cursed himself, the three-year-old Davis merely looked at Claire with cold eyes as if he had some resentment to this mother of his. He could understand little Davis’s emotions as he too felt it, but this was taking it too far for him.

Claire became pale but perceiving that she had made her son suffer without her, she still smiled at him, trying to make his heart melt as she did to him in the beginning. However, the little Davis remained obstinate, staying clear of Claire as he maintained his distance.

After the situation calmed down, Claire was happy that she got her son back. Logan appeared the same even though he admonished Davis for acting like a prick. However, the little Davis didn’t seem to listen, possessing an arrogant expression on his face, his little emperor facade becoming more substantial after he learned that he was next in line to the throne.

’Shitty brat! I’m going to kill you!’

Davis screamed at the little Davis for making Claire disheartened so much when she was already depressed. But fortunately, it looked as if Logan and Claire made up and acted similar to what he experienced. They truly loved each other, soon making a baby out of it in a year.

Davis observed through the little Davis’s eyes.

The little baby was a baby girl, undoubtedly resembling Clara. However, she did not seem to have the Transcendent Truth Eyes and looked like an ordinary child but still retained the beauty of her purple eyes.

’So Fallen Heaven really did change the fate of the people surrounding me. What a sly thing to do... or is it even conscious in doing so?’

Davis couldn’t tell, but life moved on the scenes flashed past by his eyes.

The little Davis began to cultivate when he turned five years old. His relationship with his mother was stressed, although he seemed to have taken a liking to his father and bonded with him. With little Davis being obstinate, Claire’s love was mostly directed at Clara. Little Davis was jealous like the child he is and tried to get her attention by harassing Clara.

This made Davis feel as if he was constipated, his anger increasingly resembling a dormant volcano that was going to erupt. He felt like a viewer watching a show, trying to scream at the dense and unaware protagonist about the decisions that he should truly take.

Nevertheless, half a year later, the Raven Empire and the Tritor Empire invaded.

Even though Davis knew it was hopeless, he tried numerous times to get hold of little Davis’s body and warn them of the invasion. The result was that it was all in vain. Those two invading empires were at the doorstep, and the situation, even the atmosphere, was at an all-time low.

The five and a half a year old Davis and the little two and half a year old Clara was truly afraid at the moment, shivering as they held each other within the safe confines of the Empress’s quarters.

Their father and mother were present, looking at them with forced smiles on their faces.

"Claire, go together with them."

"I’ll jeopardize their chance to getaway. As I said before, if we die, we die together."

After they spoke with soul transmissions, Claire squatted down, holding the both of them in her embrace for a while before his eyes turned teary-eyed.

"Davis, you mustn’t bully your little sister. Understand?"

"Mother, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing’s wrong." Claire shook her head, "It’s just, Mother will come to get you two after some time. Right now, I must help your father defeat the enemies outside. As the eldest who is next in line to the throne and an elder brother to your little sister, you understand, right?"

The little Davis shook his head, tears emerging in his eyes as he suddenly grabbed hold of Claire and tightly embraced.

"No! I don’t want to be separated from Mother! I’m sorry! I love you, mother! I won’t be rude anymore! I’m sorry!!!"

"Ah~ Mother~ Wuwuwu!~"

Seeing that little Davis was crying, Clara also embraced their mother tightly and cried.

"You two..."

Claire appeared extremely reluctant to leave them as she tightly held them, all three of them shedding tears as they held each other. However, a glint of determination and ruthlessness shone in her eyes as she lifted both of them.

A person strode forward into the room, and it was none other than Hendrickson, the Imperial Advisor.

"Get them to safety no matter what!"

Claire gave them both to Hendrickson and asked them to escape no matter what, while Hendrickson heavily nodded.

"Ahhh!~ No! Please don’t leave us!!!~"

Little Davis and Little Clara cried out loudly as they struggled, both of them heavily biting on Hendrickson’s shoulders to put them down, but with Hendrickson’s Body Tempering Cultivation, he didn’t feel a thing from their bites and took them away.

Looking at their backs, Claire smiled at them one last time, and right after they disappeared from her gaze, her knees gave out as she fell, starting to quiver as tears shed from her eyes.

Even though Logan tried to convince her again, she remained adamant to the end!
