Chapter 2082: Consideration
What are the chances for failure, in which case it obviously ends up in her death?
The Fire Phoenix Mistress blinked before she turned to look at the Ice Phoenix Mistress.
Little sister?
With you here and us, the chances that she will survive infusion with my blood is less than twenty-five percent.
What if we add this into the mix?
...!?
Davis raised his hand as a grayish-white gaseous aura emerged from the tip of his finger, causing the Ice and Fire Phoenix Mistresses pupils to dilate. They couldnt believe what they were seeing at this moment, their remnant souls shaking with intensity.
Life Laws!
Human, youve shown us a pleasant surprise!
The Ice Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix clamored, their voices echoing with elation and gratification. They looked at Shirley as though thanking her for having such a lover.
This is truly fate... The Fire Phoenix Mistress appeared highly convinced that it was the case.
So? Davis pressed, causing the Ice Phoenix Mistress to move its beak.
If we include the help of Life Laws in the equation along with your prowess, Shirleys chances to survive are more or less guaranteed.
So its above fifty percent...
Davis placed his hand on his chin and contemplated, not willing to play with Shirleys life. The chances for her survival may have drastically increased, but sometimes, with bad luck, even a ninety percent chance could produce a single failure out of ten times.
Dont worry, even if you run out of soul force, Ill burn the last bit of my remnant soul to boost you. Since Shirley saved you using my soul, there should be no issues with our compatibility.
The Fire Phoenix Mistress assured Davis as she flapped her beautiful wings.
Davis wasnt surprised at the Fire Phoenix Mistress being alive because the Blazing Thunderlight Kirins remnant soul was also on the brink of fading away. From this, he knew it takes time for them to fade away, even if they bestow their soul essences, at which point they could choose to disperse or not disperse their remnant soul.
The Fire Phoenix Mistress obviously chose not to disperse her soul because of this matter, hoping that Shirley would revisit one day even though she has already taken away the Immortal Inheritance. Honestly, he had immense respect for these phoenixes because, unlike the other magical beast immortals, these magical beasts would be able to revive themselves if they wanted.
After all, that was their innate species ability, and yet, they were here, handing over their souls.
Davis could not comprehend such overbearing sacrifice. Perhaps, they, too, loved their Clan deeply like he loved his family.
People tend to live their lives for themselves, someone, a few people, or an entire village. I guess it depends on the broadness of the heart...
Davis couldnt help but laugh at himself, finding himself narrow-minded but having no misgivings about it.
Dont sacrifice your soul unless required. After the Ice Phoenix Mistress bestows her soul essence, I need those almost emptied out remnant souls for something else if you dont mind, although well talk about that later...
Davis waved his hand, causing the two immortals to look confused before he turned to look at Shirley.
Shirley, Ill ask the same question I asked Tina. Are you willing to do this?
Shirley inwardly gulped, thinking that it was fortunate that the two Phoenixes didnt know that Davis was the Emperor of Death, a terrifying cultivator who knew how to use Death Laws.
She knew that being able to use Death Laws and Life Laws was something even more stunning than being able to use Ice Laws and Fire Laws. After all, how many people could exactly handle two Laws of opposite nature like ice and fire, much less life and death? This was a secret even within their group, although Davis seemed to have revealed it to some people whom he deemed slightly trustworthy, which actually made some fanatics.
She then carefully considered her options as she heard his question, contemplating whether to commit to this plan or not. Her survival was more or less told to be above the danger line, although she had her doubts. However, the problem was if she could comprehend Ice Laws which she wasnt good at because of her Ashton blood that had fine-tuned to Fire Laws over the many years, leaving her unable to comprehend Ice Laws back then, not that she tried to since it was useless trying.
Of course, the Ice Phoenix Immortal Blood Essence could overwrite that and even counter the Fire Phoenix Immortal Blood Essence, so what she needed was confidence in herself. However, she was not lacking in confidence at all. It was just, what about her child?
She still had to look after Eterna and couldnt fully commit to this endeavor that could probably take much of her time. She couldnt ask Davis to take care of the child as he was the one leading the family, and as the mother, she fully understood it was her duty to take of the child in its childhood years while Davis would teach the child later on when Eterna became a big enough to cultivate.
They had already talked about it beforehand but to bring it up here seemed tasteless and disrespectful to the immortals even though they would allow it with their magnanimous stature.
Clara already gave her permission.
Davis blinked as he saw Shirley hesitate a lot that he couldnt help but add, causing Shirley to glance at him.
If youre worried about Eterna, then your sisters and I will look after her whenever we can. Besides, its not like you cant create an avatar further on.
But... it wouldnt be sincere... Shirley bit her lips, having already thought about creating an avatar, If I were Eterna, I wouldnt want my father or mother to be an avatar while looking after me.
Davis pursed his lips, shaking his head, I know what it feels like to be insincere, Shirley. After all, I want to love all of you but couldnt keep up most of the time. Time wont wait, and emotions keep running rampant. You have to do what you have to do. Are you willing to be surpassed by Isabella and Evelynn most of the time? Even Natalya has become stronger than you at the moment. Its just a matter of time before the others surpass you if you keep looking after Eterna.
Shirleys heart shook before her crimson eyes blazed, Im not willing!
But being surpassed is the least of my concern. What Im truly afraid of is the descending calamity. If I lose Eterna or you in that, I would truly regret not having the strength to protect you all! I dont want to face the same emotions I was basked with when I saw your unmoving body, so I will get strong enough to see that it never happens to you again!
Shirley passionately declared as she waved her hands while Davis couldnt help but deeply smile. He arrived in front of her and grabbed her trembling hands.
No matter what happens or how busy we are, well look after Eterna and Isabellas child together. I promise.
Mhm~
Shirley nodded, standing on her toes as she grabbed his cheeks and plastered her lips on his, catching him off-guard as he didnt consider her to be this daring. Still, it only lasted for a moment before Shirley turned to look at the Fire Phoenix Mistress, her gaze brewing with determination.
It seems like you have decided.
Indeed, Shirley smiled, I agree to this risky endeavor of you two immortal sisters.
Fortune lies ahead to those who take risks, mostly. Even if you do not master Icefire Laws, just the combination of Ice Laws and Fire Laws you will be able to perform would be nothing to laugh at.
The Fire Phoenix Mistress laughed before she turned to look at the Ice Phoenix Mistress, Frostrose, how about you give me face here and skip the trial? We all know Shirley is going to pass for her age and prowess, especially since she has my blood. Its like she already passed.
Alright. The Ice Phoenix Mistress didnt hesitate to answer, seemingly having already thought of it.
Haahaha~
The Fire Phoenix Mistress heartily laughed as a door opened on the other end of the icy cave. However, it didnt lead to the trial site but straightaway to the Treasury where the Ice Phoenixs Blood Essence was located.
Shirley blinked at their enthusiasm before turning to look at Clara, an awkward smile appearing on her face.
Let me take care of her. Davis sent a soul transmission, causing her to nod.
Shirley left while Davis arrived in front of Clara, his expression slightly worried for her.
Clara, will you forgive us?
Clara couldnt help but wave her hand, Brother, theres nothing to forgive in the first place. If you two keep looking at me like that, then only will I feel down, even frustrated.
Uhm... is that so?
Davis lightly chuckled while Clara unceremoniously nodded. She didnt seem to have any misgivings over this matter but still feeling worried, Davis used Heart Intent to check her emotions, and what he found made him inwardly shocked.
Shes happy...? For Shirley...?
He really couldnt understand her enigmatic outlook on the world, but now that he thought about it closely, Clara had been close to Shirley from the moment she met her. It was like they hit it off for some reason, and the likely reason he could think of right now was that Shirley was also a Divergent but not like him, not like an Anarchic Divergent.
The Ice Phoenix Immortal subtly spoke of how only Divergents could cause waves in the hearts of the possessors of the Transcendent Truth Eyes, meaning that he and Shirley had been a major factor. He didnt know for sure why, but he could guess because all those who were beside him had their fates changed. Some even cheated death and hence could be considered Divergents themselves but not included in the two categories of Anarchic Divergents and Tranquil Divergents, something even less than the latter.
Then... Shirley must be a Tranquil Divergent for her to rattle Claras heart like this... Tia too... but her physique puts her in the gray zone since it seems to be somewhat accepted by the heavens...
Davis felt like he was grasping empty straws while thinking about this matter. Nonetheless, he walked her outside with a grateful smile and bid farewell, returning inside, but on the way back, his face turned somber, even a bit scary, as he recalled the matters Myria spoke about.
