Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1123: Alstreim Family's Soul King?

"Let us get back to the issue on hand." Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke as he clasped his hands over his back, "I called you here to let you know that I'll be soon announcing to the world that you are a person who possesses the blood of the Alstreim Family.""When your origin is asked into question, I would simply say that you are the son of a mysterious Soul King or something similar while the mother belongs to our Alstreim Family.""When the time comes where we don't have to fear any power due to possessing the way to an Immortal Inheritance Realm, I will naturally announce who your mother and father is to the entire world.""What do you think?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim probingly asked.Davis blinked and contemplated for a second before he found his answer."Why not? Seems okay to me unless you're planning to address me a bastard..."Ancestor Dian Alstreim came to possess a frown. He didn't know if he was kidding or being serious, so he ignored that and continued."If this is acceptable to you, then I'll go ahead with the plan."Davis just nodded his head, causing Ancestor Dian Alstreim to heave a sigh inwardly. He thought Davis would definitely be against this plan as he felt that this brat was a walking manifestation of arrogance.How could he allow something like his father and mother to remain unknown? That would be a disgrace since people would subconsciously think Davis was a bastard son of a Soul King.Even with this plan, people would think the same. If he set this plan in motion, he knew Davis would have to endure some embarrassment. However, he was also planning on announcing that Davis's mother was the Soul King's official wife, but he didn't specifically state this to Davis to garner his reaction and couldn't help but be surprised.'Astonishingly, this walking manifestation of arrogance also knows when to be low-key...' He thought, unaware that Davis liked to be always low-key.He couldn't help but ask, "Is your father capable of reaching the King Soul Stage?"After all, the way he perceived it, Davis seemed to be more talented than his father, but he couldn't deny the genes that caused Davis to be talented. For all he knew, Logan's potential could be hidden, unable to be revealed due to some reason. Follow current on novelenglish.net

"Within a hundred years?" Davis questioned and answered without hesitation, "My father would be able to reach the King Soul Stage with a ninety-five percent chance.""Truly?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim's eyes went wide.'What the...'Wouldn't this mean that the Alstreim Family would gain two Soul Kings within hundred years!? This possibility was truly beyond his imagination that he couldn't help but exclaim.One should know that Soul Kings would be able to dominate their opponents as long as they could suppress the other party's soul, leaving their opponents defenseless.Logan was around forty years old when he entered Adult Soul Stage, but with his help, Logan was able to accelerate his rate of a breakthrough in ten years, entering the Mature Soul Stage, two stages above Adult Soul Stage.This told him that his father had the talent, and with his help, it was possible for his father to enter the King Soul Stage within a hundred years.However, Davis felt that he was rather conservative with his estimates and couldn't help but chuckle, "Aren't I a direct manifestation of my father's talent?"Soul force sprang out of him like a tide, blasting Ancestor Dian Alstreim's face, his blonde hair shaking to the intensity.Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression was absolutely frozen like an ice statue. He even felt a chill that ran through his spine when he sensed the power behind that soul force that he couldn't help but dumbfoundedly mutter as only his lips subconsciously moved."High-Level Su- Supreme Soul Stage..."Davis smirked and was about to say something before his expression froze."Hahahahaha!~~~~"Ancestor Dian Alstreim abruptly burst out into a fit of laughter as his head swiveled to the half-transparent ceiling. He laughed like a maniac as if he had just gotten what he wanted the most in the world."Good! Good!! Very good!!! Hahahaha!!!~~" Follow current on novel-online.com

Ancestor Dian Alstreim continued laughing like a madman.All that patience, all that introspection, considering whether he should offend two Grand Elders for it, considering whether he should truly place the Alstreim Family's entire hope on an arrogant youth who seemed to be reckless enough to threaten a Ninth Stage Powerhouse when he was nothing more than a Seventh Stage Cultivator at best... it was all worth it!'It was all worth it!!!' He couldn't help but inwardly scream a second time.He knew that Davis was at Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage when they fought while exchanging pointers at that time... but to think that he had already reached the level he reached after long years of waiting, High-Level Supreme Soul Stage.Most of his stagnancy in his own Soul Forging Cultivation had to do with the Alstreim Family manual's limitations, but still, Davis's rate of growth was truly terrifying that it almost made him break out into a cold sweat. This also made him think about the quality of Davis's Soul Forging Cultivation Manual. All he knew was that its grade was high while its essence somehow related to the Vermillion Bird. He felt that it might be some kind of inheritance of the Loret Family.Nevertheless, he was heartened. This time, he, the Alstreim Family, had truly gained a genius. Now, all he needed to do was not let him die. He inwardly swore again to protect him to the best of his ability.Davis looked at Ancestor Dian Alstreim expression be all-smiles. He could understand the Ancestor's emotions and couldn't help but add."Ancestor, just like the geniuses who can cross levels to battle in Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation, I can do the same with my Soul Forging Cultivation. Even Ancestor is no longer a match for me in terms of pure soul force.""That's why, since no one can match me in Supreme Soul Stage in battle, if you want to exaggerate my cultivation base, you can say that I'm already a..."Davis smirked as his eyes flashed, "Soul King..."Ancestor Dian Alstreim's pupils dilated. He suddenly couldn't help but recall the intensity of the soul force that hit him. It was nothing like his own but was tremendously pure and refined. He forgot that fact since reaching High-Level Supreme Soul Stage already gave him a huge surprise.But now that he thought about it, he felt that it was as Davis said. He was truly unmatched in the same stage! The sudden happiness was completely overwhelming that he couldn't help but stop from grinning ear to ear."Soul King... Soul King... The Alstreim Family already has a Soul King...?" He couldn't help mutter to himself like a dazed person.He looked like a sickly pale youth who had gone crazy from a mental illness."Although I couldn't match a Soul King's prowess, I should be able to do it soon once I reach the Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage. You can remain hopeful of my progress, Ancestor." Davis chuckled. Follow current on storynovel.net

When he saw this side of the Ancestor, he couldn't help but think if the other party was a child. But considering what a Soul King signified, he understood the other party's excitement. That is also why he precisely laid down his cards... to have a better status in the Alstreim Family so that even if a random Elder or Grand Elder deeply offends him or his family, he could just kill them and report later. After all, his life would become the most important to the Alstreim Family, especially to the Ancestor. Even if he was somewhat vile in his actions, he would still be forgiven. It wasn't fair, but that was how the cultivation world worked. Talent also decided on a person's future, and even life and death in many cases.If not, something like that wouldn't have happened to his mother in the past.Half a minute passed in silence. It was unknown what Ancestor Dian Alstreim thought of during this time, but he suddenly looked at Davis."Davis, you are truly worthy of becoming the Patriarch. Why do you refuse?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but look reluctant.He was already aware Davis refused to become the Young Master, but he couldn't understand why. Did Davis look down on the Alstreim Family, or does he still holds a grudge for what happened to his mother?"Don't bind me..." Davis shook his head, "Only I get to choose what to be bound in, and if I feel like it, I will become one and fulfill my responsibility to the last moment. If I am forced, I might not even be half-hearted but try to leave. I am like this, and no one can change me.""So, you don't hate the Alstreim Family?""Why would I?" Davis looked confused.Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but relax. He was worried because of this, but he became reassured since it doesn't seem to be like that."As a youth, your thoughts should be flexible..." He still couldn't help but advise."I suppose I am flexible, but in certain matters, I'd like to hold my point until I've been proven wrong by experience."Davis simply stated and thought to himself, 'It's not like I'm forcing my opinion down your throat, so don't do that to me, Ancestor.'"Very well, I unders-""Who!?"Ancestor Dian Alstreim was about to finish his words when Davis abruptly yet fiercely reacted as he threw a sword that appeared in his grasp towards the ceiling!
