Chapter 2282 Reaching A Consensus
After greeting the Emperor of Death and giving their thanks, the feys returned to their seats.
After Tegon left, Davis possessed a strange expression on his face because he learned that the Black Iron Dragon seemed to be a mix between the Golden Dragon and the Black Iron-Shelled Turtle, a turtle species in the Emperor Rank similar to the Obsidian Crystal Turtle.
What could he say? These dragons were truly… horny.
However, he could sense that Tegon's defense was really strong, and perhaps that was why he had been able to live this long.
Nonetheless, he was about to leave when he saw the Frigid World Spirit Emperor excuse himself from the summit and arrive before him. His actions caused a bit of a stir but Lea pulled them back to reality and reminded them that they didn't have much time, causing them to turn their attention toward details.
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor maintained a respectful distance and alignment like the feys, indicating that his position was inferior. Even then, he stared at Davis with a complicated expression in his eyes before he opened his bluish lips, frozen with ice.
"Honestly, I don't believe any humans as our spirit cores are what causes their Soul Forging Cultivation to increase. I'm apprehensive about this unification. However, if anyone can unite us under one banner, it is you, Emperor of Death."
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor cupped his hands and bowed, causing Davis to wryly smile.
"Father-in-law, please…"
"I don't deserve such an endearing term."
The former shivered, causing the latter to blink before he gave a nod.
"True. You once tried to kill your daughter because you deemed that she was traitorous, and I've not forgiven you for that."
"This one deserves the stringent punis-
"However, I can let that go as a misunderstanding." Davis interrupted with one of his brows raised, "After all, if I was you, I will not tolerate my daughter bringing a suspicious man of another race into my empire but I wouldn't go far as to kill her until I've done a fair investigation. However, I also understand that you didn't have that time to ponder over the other side of the consequences when a being as powerful as you posed danger to your empire. You had to move quickly for the sake of your empire. Isn't that right?"
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor's gaze shook, his lips quivering.
Normally a stoic and expressionless individual, but now that he heard Davis's understanding voice, tears couldn't help but silently fall from his eyes.
"Can I see my… daughter?"
*Whoosh!~*
Instantly, a snow-white robed, icy-blue-skinned beauty appeared before him, causing his eyes to widen. On the other hand, Iesha's eyes were already in tears while she placed her hand on her mouth, her voice quivering the same.
"Imperial father…"
The Frigid World Spirit Emperor couldn't help but shudder, "Iesha… forgive this sinner who took a long time to realize that without you, I would've accidentally killed this world's savior, even killed you…"
"No… I should've explained it better~"
'Oye…' Davis almost blurted out his dissatisfaction as the words uttered by the Frigid World Spirit Emperor meant as though he was capable of killing him at that time.
However, looking at the father and daughter crying with guilt in their hearts, pouring out their emotions, he really couldn't say anything. After all, he was also at fault when he was the one who made Iesha go against her imperial father in the first place.
'Well, I wouldn't have brought Iesha out if guilt and remorse weren't apparent in her father's emotions…'
Davis had used Enigmatic Heart Intent to see if the Frigid World Spirit Emperor was acting or trying to curry favor at this point, but it turns out he was really just remorseful over his past actions, which moved Davis, causing him to bring out Iesha without teasing or making it difficult for the Frigid World Spirit Emperor.
In fact, he shared his eyesight through a projection on the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace's second floor after he asked her to step out of the Raging Bipolar Surge Formation. She did so as he asked and witnessed the process in real-time as he had restored the normal flow of time easily. That's why she was already crying, badly wanting to meet her father as well as apologize for her past actions, as she still felt some guilt over it.
Soon, without much talk, they reaffirmed their ties as father and daughter. It was truly a sight to him, but that just went to say how willing they were to forgive each other. Then they both returned to their respective places.
Shortly, Everlight also came out of him, cementing her status as the Emperor of Death's magical beast pet, but she still spoke for the Magical Beast Sanctuary as the King-Tier Guardian was a bit incapable of gaining advantages in words.
However, down below, there was already a commotion brewing as the Frigid World Spirit Emperor seemed to be revealed as the Emperor of Death's father-in-law. When Everlight appeared, the people were finally speechless, wondering how many spirits and magical beasts the Emperor of Death had.
Lea had to quell them again, but it was at this moment that everyone understood that the Emperor of Death truly didn't differentiate but was also… horny for other races!
His calm image was broadcast across the continent, with new projections set up in almost every Territory.
The All-Seeing Emperor was rather quick to move, as money was pouring in from all directions!
But still, people didn't blame or talk badly about the Emperor of Death, but instead complained about his low appetite.
Why didn't he have hundreds of women? Why did some hegemons who were not as powerful as him have hundreds of women? Were they shameless?
Surprisingly, the ones who asked these questions were the women themselves, especially the ones in their prime and at the Ninth Stage.
They felt that the Emperor of Death deserved so much more, but obviously, their intent was that they could have a chance to gain his affection. Some had also gathered here for that purpose today, and they wouldn't lose to some of his women in terms of beauty or bust, but his eyes just weren't looking at them, leaving them disheartened.
Half an hour later, the discussion seemed to have almost come to an end, but since they had time, they didn't quickly end it. After all, the decision of unification was rather a life-changing endeavor, one that would completely change their diplomacy and, perhaps, even destinies.
They went on to discuss amongst their own races and powers if there was anything else left to discuss. Shortly, Lea and Ancestor Cornelia took their leave and approached him.
While hovering through the skies, Ancestor Cornelia gave a death stare at Founder Alstreim Windstorm, glaring at him with some warning in her eyes. The other party seemed to not mind the gaze, but instead, even adopted an innocent expression on his face.
Davis eyed the both of them before he shook his head, "Ancestor Cornelia, what has occurred below?"
"We have all arrived at the consensus that the Territories the hegemons held will still belong to them. As for the Vast Sky Emperor Palace Territory, it's going to be given to the Spirits, while on the other hand, the Astral Light Sect Territory is going to be shared by all three races as a trade point."
Ancestor Cornelia's gaze remained genial, looking as though she were imagining future prospects.
"Of course, the magical beasts and spirits have agreed to give us resources that we have never laid eyes upon in at least a hundred century millenniums, which made the human race agree to cede the Vast Sky Emperor Palace Territory."
"I understand." Davis nodded, "Creating a trade route is necessary for the unified growth of all three races. In theory, it's good, but let's see if they're able to realize it."
Ancestor Cornelia couldn't help but sigh in response as she thought similarly.
"Sigh, I want to remain and make sure all three races live in harmony, but…"
Ancestor Cornelia cast a sharp glare at Founder Alstreim Windstorm, causing the latter to wryly smile.
"All I said was that Ancestor Cornelia wouldn't lose out to Sect Master Lea Weiss's beauty in any way when she was younger and that she should become an immortal so that her vitality would be restored, but-"
"You dare have the gall to speak about it openly?"
Ancestor Cornelia's eyes were full of rage as she clenched her small, wrinkled fists.
