Chapter 1745: Becoming Aware

Evelynn, Isabella, s.h.i.+rley, Mo Mingzhi, Esvele, and Freya looked at Davis's expression and seeing his pupils dilate caused them to narrow their eyes.

"What does this mean exactly?"

Isabella couldn't help but ask Davis, but another melodious voice echoed.

"Probably pointing at the Calamity Light, right?" It was Evelynn.

"Actually, who sent this?" Isabella's eyes were narrowed in anger, "They dare to call my emperor a brat? I don't believe it's Sect Master Bing Luli or one of her three Ancestors, but it seems like whoever wrote this wants to die!"

Evelynn narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had an inkling of a person, when suddenly s.h.i.+rley's voice echoed out.

"It's Myria."

"Myria, who?"

Both Isabella and Evelynn asked s.h.i.+rley at the same time.

s.h.i.+rley began to explain to them while Davis appeared to be deep in contemplation.

'The fact that Myria sent me a letter and looks down on me even while I go by the t.i.tle of Emperor of Death means that she doesn't see me as an opponent, does she? Could it be that she chalked up my actions of killing so many powerhouses to the action of my non-existent master?'

Davis felt solemn yet laughable at the same time.

He didn't think a reincarnator would by his fake story.

'Or, perhaps because she knows too much that she thinks that it is possible for me to have a master...?'

Davis was wondering when he suddenly narrowed his eyes again.

'This is...'

He stared at the letter with narrowed eyes before he flipped it and saw its empty back, feeling the sense of a vague hint of soul force remaining that he wouldn't have noticed unless he wasn't staring at the letter for some time already.

Instantly, he used his soul force to energize the letter, and only after ten whole seconds did a semblance of characters start appearing, forming a sentence.

[By this time this letter left, she would notice my actions, but I presume this letter would already be in your hands by that time. Perhaps, she already knows but still let me send this, thinking I have done this behind her back. In any case, congratulations, my prince. Congratulations, Princess s.h.i.+rley. Please be well, and pave the path to ascend sooner than later. Although she's disrespectful, she doesn't mean harm. There's no need to worry about me either, for I am faring well, becoming powerful alongside her. If fate allows us to meet, perhaps we'll meet in less than two months on a certain battle arena.]

'The soul force in this letter... It's powerful than mine.'

However, Davis didn't bother much about it but was fixated on the content of the letter.

"Ellia... are you really well?"

He couldn't help but voice out with a sigh.

s.h.i.+rley and the others noticed his actions and couldn't help look at the letter again as they arrived beside him.

"Oh~ It's really her..."

Evelynn raised her brows as she turned to look at Davis. The other also finished reading the letter before they looked at him. Isabella reached out his hand as if she was going to grab his head but stopped right before his face and clenched.

"If you want Ellia and she likes you back like s.h.i.+rley said, why don't you just take her by force from this over conceited Myria?"

She brought her hand back to her bosoms, looking at him with raised brows.

Davis glanced at her with an unamused expression, "If it was only as simple as that."

"True." s.h.i.+rley nodded her head, "During the days I lived under Myria's protection, I came to understand that they're probably inseparable. Perhaps, we only have a chance when we reach immortality, and besides, although I don't want us to fight each other, I will follow Davis's decision in this matter."

Everyone nodded at s.h.i.+rley in approval while Davis couldn't help but sprout a grateful smile.

"What are your thoughts on Myria and Ellia, s.h.i.+rley? I may be able to devise some plan after hearing your thoughts."

"Well, since she revealed herself, I guess there's no need to hide it from my side anymore."

s.h.i.+rley wryly smiled and looked as if she was contemplating before her lips moved.

"Myria is quite ruthless and arrogant and also wouldn't let people close to her. She doesn't hesitate to kill people, especially wicked people, and even takes a certain amount of joy in it. Sometimes, Ellia would take over their body and enact similar actions, but contrarily, she is more humble and kind, saying that people should have a second chance because prince Davis taught her that."

Davis blinked before his lips couldn't help but curve into a heartened smile. s.h.i.+rley noticed his smile before she giggled.

"Hehe~ Sometimes, I wouldn't even know which of the two is the one speaking to me unless I ask about you, and depending on their reaction or mood, I will instantly know the answer, but I dare not ask, afraid that I will make Myria angry."

Davis narrowed his brows.

"Does she have a grudge against me or something?"

"I don't know, but she seemed pretty opposed to hearing about you from my mouth when I talked about my unrequited love."

Davis couldn't help but awkwardly smile at s.h.i.+rley's jab as she teasingly raised her brows at him before continuing.

"As for knowledge, Myria... she gives me the feeling that she knows everything, and when I asked a doubt, she clarifies so clearly that I don't think she's faking her knowledge."

Davis nodded without being surprised.

"That pretty much confirms my theory that she's Ellia's previous life incarnation. Otherwise, it makes little sense to me why Ellia is still alive instead of being devoured. After all, a foreign soul wouldn't be able to control the same body, not to mention that it would degrade Ellia's soul, but according to Ellia herself, she's growing strong alongside Myria, which just ends up proving my theory."

"I think so too. However, I can't tell her how much she knows or how much her cultivation has reached in her previous life. With her advantage, I'm afraid that she might be able to best you in battle, Davis."

"What about her current cultivation and the laws she comprehends?"

Hearing Davis sound solemn enough to look like he was going to challenge her, s.h.i.+rley pursed her lips, looking like she had some trouble saying it but finally moved her lips.

"Ice Laws, Water Laws, Yin Laws, Light Laws, Darkness Laws, Wood Laws, Metal Laws, Earth Laws... These are the ones I've seen her using to hoodwink many people like you do with your schemes, but I'm afraid that she already reached Abstruse Intent in the laws I mentioned just now..."

"..."

"Aren't you sure that you're exaggerating...?"

Isabella couldn't help but gawk when Davis stayed silent before he shook his head with level-head confidence visible on his face.

"A reincarnator wouldn't have a problem comprehending many laws. If I had time on my side, I'm sure I can comprehend laws as good as her."

"Davis, you're a reincarnator yourself..." Evelynn interjected.

"I was a mortal. It doesn't matter if I'm a reincarnator because having no knowledge means no knowledge."

Davis spoke with utter confidence that made the others lightly giggle but then made him lower his head in sadness.

What was the use of him transmigrating into this body? The only boon he had was Fallen Heaven, which he still felt was the greatest boon and also a tremendous risk but still wasn't his own strength.

But actually, he felt sad for Ellia.

When he got into this body, there was no original Davis's soul because he, Tian Long, didn't die to give birth to a new soul in the reincarnation cycle. But, it was just the opposite for Ellia. Her previous incarnation became active under certain circ.u.mstances, similar to how Drake Blackburn took over the control of the original Drake Blackburn's body when the yang in his soul stirred his previous life into existence.

Considering it this way, he felt sad because Ellia wasn't as lucky as him in this regard but also made him appreciative of Myria because Myria didn't devour or fuse with Ellia's soul, which would've ultimately caused Myria to become the sole owner of their body. After all, from what he heard from s.h.i.+rley, both Myria and Ellia seem to be able to have their own thoughts. Besides, could the little Ellia have resisted?

"I see, so she has plenty of ways to counter me." Davis raised his head, "Perhaps, her soul is inclined towards darkness like Soul Emperor Hadrian's Cross, or even fully aligned with darkness like Evelynn, Sophie, and Mo Mingzhi's, allowing her to use both Light and Darkness Laws."

"Perhaps, but all the laws she practices in belong to all three cultivation systems, and she excels in all of them. It's just, she seems new to Ice Laws and Water Laws, but the speed she comprehends these two laws are also monstrous."

"What? Is she not afraid that- Wait, don't tell me she..."

Davis's eyes were wide as he gazed at s.h.i.+rley.
