Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2313 Wisdom

Chapter 2313 Wisdom

On the second floor of the mansion lay a figure amidst the ruins.

It was a man. Beside him was debris while there was also a broken teapot that ended up splashing him with scalding tea. However, there was no change in his expression.

His gaze was blank while simply staring at his trembling hand, wondering how he ended up here, not to mention that he could still sense the dragon grip that almost crushed his hand.

"I lost...?"

Perhaps, it was the sixth time Jerius Alstreim uttered it before his eyes closed, a sigh finally escaping his mouth.

If Davis didn’t let go when he struggled instinctively to pull out his hand, perhaps, his hand really would’ve been crushed.

Then, a wry smile appeared on his face as though his expression went from reluctance to acceptance.

’I’ve really been humbled. Is that a mortal’s pure bodily strength? It definitely can’t be an Earth Dragon Immortal’s strength unless the Earth Dragon Immortal is a King-Tier- no, Emperor-Tier Immortal Beast...?’

Jerius Alstreim finally understood why his grandpa was fixated on Davis Loret, declaring him to be the rising star of their family. His position was finally plundered, and rightfully so because he couldn’t even feel the urge to retaliate. He was an immortal, while the other party was a mortal. His pure bodily prowess was at Level Three Immortal Stage, while the other party’s pure bodily prowess seemed to go beyond him while the base cultivation remained at Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage Cultivator, basically crossing seven levels!

If Davis Loret actually became an immortal, just how strong would he be?

It just didn’t make sense to him, just like how the millions of Vacuous Beasts could suddenly appear and devour all his descendants and wives.

Jerius Alstreim lowered his head, feeling depressed. However, he stood up, patting his butt as he cleared the dust before flying through the hole he made in the mansion. As soon as he saw the light creaking into the broken wall, his lips couldn’t help but twitch as he heard them talking about how immortal children were born.

Wasn’t he even the topic? He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Outside, Davis and the others just heard the horrifying news about immortal conception.

Davis was alright as he had to just wait for a year, but the women were crestfallen. They had to wait fifteen years, and even then, the chances of conceiving his child were very low.

They knew because of Davis’s overpowered cultivation and mixed bloodlines, the chances of getting impregnated were already botched but to further worsen that in the immortal realm, they didn’t know what to think about it anymore. Momentarily, they couldn’t help but enviously cast a glance at Shirley and Isabella as they had given birth to Eterna and Celestia before they could be hit with all this crap.

Indeed, Shirley and Isabella’s expression that was sullen had already turned bright. They had been worried that their children had been given a low start, and perhaps, their children themselves might ask why they didn’t wait for some time, not giving them the chance to be born an immortal. But now that they knew that giving birth to an immortal progeny was very difficult, they were glad that they had his children before it became almost impossible to be conceived.

"What... what if both parties are chaste?" Sophie couldn’t help but suddenly raise her hand while possessing an awkward expression on her face.

Whis Alstreim instantly understood that Sophie was still a virgin and became astounded.

"Ah, if a man and woman are both virgins when they become immortal, they would readily have their seed and egg mature to immortality because their primal yang and primal yin support it. Otherwise, they would have to wait for fifteen years like any being. If the two chaste immortals decide to consummate their relationship, it is said that they will have a better chance at conception."

Sophie and Niera’s eyes brightened as they had yet to become immortals while still staying virgins, while Mingzhi and Fiora were dumbfounded. They were the ones who were recently married, but they had lost their innocence way back to Davis even before they married him, so they had no choice but to wait fifteen years.

However, they were sexually active, perhaps more than other girls. Could they hold back for such a long time? They didn’t have such patience.

On the other hand, Lea Weiss’s brows were stricken with a bit of guilt.

Why couldn’t she hold back until immortality? Although fifteen years was nothing to her, ever since she had been with Davis, she wanted to enjoy each and every moment with him, making it so that her recent years were colorful and filled with fruitful taste.

However, not waiting made her feel like she had let her yet-to-be-born child down.

"However, many also think that it is merely a superstition." Whis Alstreim continued.

"If you ask me, I will say that very few will get it right the first time. Many get it in between, but as for unlucky people, they would get around the nine hundredth try, and if their luck is abysmal, probably more than a thousand, but I’ve never heard of such people at the very least. That’s why the average is one in a thousand tries."

"What about Immortal Kings?" Davis couldn’t help but ask.

"For Immortal Kings, there is no change in the time taken for the immortal seed and immortal egg to mature, but the chances are even worse. They rarely have children, much less immortal children. If a progeny is born to two Immortal Kings, then their talent would be astonishingly high! On the other hand, it is rumored that all immortal inheritances established by the ancients are children of Immortal King or even Immortal Emperor Stage existences, so their bloodline potential is amazingly high!"

"Woah~"

Davis and the others’ gaze fell on Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley. They were immortal inheritors, after all, so there was a chance that they had the bloodline potential to become Immortal Emperors. Evelynn, in particular, had the bloodline potential of an Emperor-Tier Immortal Beast, so it was practically confirmed that she would reach Immortal Emperor Stage sooner or later!

Seeing them behave excitedly, Whis Alstreim blinked before he felt they should calm down. This chapter is updated by ReadNovelFull.com.

"Mind you all. Giving birth to an immortal progeny is no laughing matter. The mother has to carry the child for around nine years as the child inside the womb will slowly develop."

"Nine years...?" Evelynn and the others quickly became stunned.

Nine years? Not nine months...?

"On top of it, after the mother gives birth, she will attract a heavenly tribulation."

"What!? Are you kidding us!?"

Whis Alstreim dropped another bomb, causing Mingzhi to shriek in disbelief.

"I’m not joking." Whis Alstreim solemnly shook his head, "The heavenly tribulations are merciless. However, it also gives people a fair chance. The mother could defend the child right after giving birth. Even if she’s incapable due to various reasons, such as extended weakness, the father could help defend her from the very beginning. In other words, the parents together will pave the path to their child’s birth and future. I think it’s wonderful in one way, although many others would consider it cruel or just a phenomenon to keep the balance of the world afloat."

"You... you also went through...?"

"Indeed. I protected little Ermin and his mother. The heavenly tribulation is relatively weak as well for immortals as it doesn’t exceed the average cultivation base of the father and mother, so unless you’re trash immortal with a Cracked Immortal Vessel or have cultivation that is wide apart with your partner and lacks the presence of the stronger parent during birth, it is unlikely you would lose your child to a heavenly tribulation."

"However, she is... no more. She bravely protected Ermin from those Vacuous Beasts as she sacrificed herself..."

Whis Alstreim’s smile became laced with a bit of yearning, but he shook his head. His sorrowful expression caused Mingzhi’s eyes to glaze.

"I’m sorry for being rude."

"It’s fine." Whis Alstreim waved his hand softly, "Everything happens for a reason, even if that reason has nothing to do with you and is negative or doesn’t make any sense. All we can do is strive forward in our cultivation and seek justice. Surely, the heavens would aid us."

"Strive forward..."

Mingzhi and the others seemed to gain some enlightenment from this ancestor as they took a deep breath. Perhaps, they almost lost their motivation to cultivate. The very essence of cultivation was patience, after all. If they didn’t have it, then they wouldn’t last much longer.

It seemed like they got addicted to quick breakthroughs and comprehensions because Davis spoiled them too much. However, these words pulled them out of their delusions.
