"In any case,"Davis lightly smiled after propping his first wife on a pedestal, "I trust that everyone can see that I treat every race equally without disparaging or insulting them, unless, of course, one particular individual, no matter the race, is my enemy, in which case it is normal for me to roast them into oblivion, both physically and mentally. However, I don't want to force anything, even out of unwillingness to happen. I'll give you all an hour's worth of time. Decide whether the three races want to unite or continue on with the status quo."Davis stood up, his gaze roaming over the apex powerhouses of the three races one last time, "No matter what you people choose, my Territories will remain the same with the Alstreim Family as its sole hegemon. As for the other Territories, I give my word that I won't take an inch of it. As for Feys, they can come and live in my Territories peacefully. Anyone who instigates conflict or disparages them for no valid reason will obtain stringent punishment from the laws established in the Alstreim Family."After Eldia and Nadia returned to his soul sea, he turned around, leaving behind a dumbfounded group of powerhouses who looked at him with a deep, reverential gaze.Who was a true magnanimous expert? This was a true magnanimous expert!Even after becoming the sole powerful entity in the Fifty-Two Territories, he didn't lust after the four Large Territories that were almost six times bigger than the Nine Western Territories and Nine Eastern Territories combined!This was the biggest thing they were afraid of!Although the branches survived, the headquarters of the Astral Light Sect, Heaven Mandate Temple, Heaven Gazing Sect, and the Grand Beast Viridian Mountain Range were all decimated. It was said that even the Starnova Emperor and his family had escaped with the help of Glorious Pill Palace's Immortal, leaving behind an empty Astral Light Sect Territory.

Only a few of his Starnova Emperors' descendants who were not at the Glorious Pill Palace at that time for a celebration remained, but even they were dead, so there was literally a Large-Sized Territory up for grabs but the Emperor of Death just declared that he wouldn't take an inch, causing them to turn numb in respect, although some did think he was trying to act magnanimously to win hearts.However, many didn't think that way because did an absolute hegemon requires to win hearts to get what they wanted, for example, to unify all races?The answer was no. The ones with absolute power could do whatever they wanted as they pleased, unafraid of repercussions.Moreover, they were dumbfounded at the Alstreim Family's Immortal for not saying a single word ever since he appeared. He particularly didn't care that they didn't greet him either, making them wonder if the Alstreim Family was full of heaven-sent saviors.Nonetheless, as soon as the Emperor of Death and the Alstreim Family's Immortal left the mountain peak as they hovered in the skies, the three races quickly turned to look at each other before they opened their mouths, starting to seriously discuss what they should do.Without saying anything, Davis hovered in the air as he listened to their exchange back and forth.The discussion was leaning toward unification, and they had started discussing the partition of the Territories. After all, the Territorial Fog and Gates had disappeared, leaving them with an open continent.It was no longer the Fifty-Two Territories. Instead, it was one big continent with big seas on the western and central sides and a big space rift in the far south.Even the wicked path was here, albeit only the Dark Ironroar Emperor, Fiendish Yin Empress, Yang Hellflame Emperor, and the Myriad Poison Sect's Emperor had attended as they were the only remaining apex powerhouses. However, they promised to let go of the wicked path's teachings and start anew, coming here with sincerity as they had given tributes for the wrongs they had committed.

After all, most wicked path sects were all destroyed by the Vacuous Beasts.Myria was too late to save them, just as Davis was too late to save the spirits. There were a significant number of deaths in these two powers by the time they arrived.Some unknown wicked path sects living in mini-realms had survived, but the three wicked path hegemons here vowed to take care of them. Possibly, there would no longer be a wicked path with an evil connotation but neutrality like him that follows the survival of the fittest with a reasonable attitude, just a bit away from the righteous path's teachings that denoted benevolence in essence but followed hypocrisy.In any case, Davis saw them exclude the Alstreim Family Territory, Tripartite Alliance Territory, Falling Snow Sect Territory, Flowing Mist Sect Territory, Towering Cloud Hall Territory, Soul Palace Territory, and the Golden Dragon Valley Territory from partition.As for his allies, they were the Magical Beast Sanctuary and the Burning Phoenix Ridge, but now, even they made it clear that they were part of his Territories and that they would abide by his command.Following that, a few more decided to become his subordinates, causing not only the Weapon Refining Sect Territory, Pill Refining Sect Territory, Emperor Sword Sect Territory, Jade Lotus Valley Territory, but even the Dual Lotus Manor Territory to become his, making him blink thrice.Further on, even some spirit Territories and magical beast Territories like the Frigid World Spirit Empire and Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode started to become his subordinates, but if that was not enough, many more started to hope in, causing him to become dumbfounded.What's going on? Why was everyone becoming his subordinates? He didn't want them."It seems like there is a misunderstanding. Many are willing to become my fiancee's subordinates, but you're all forgetting that he's not the one ruling in the near future. After we leave, will the Alstreim Family's descendants uphold my fiancee's words on so many subjects?" Follow current on storynovel.net
Lea had a deep smile behind her veil as she spoke, shaking her head after a pause, "That's hard to say and I don't want to see my fiancee's name being ruined if the worse comes to pass.""…"The powers that wanted to jump on the bandwagon became hesitant once they heard the Emperor of Death's fiancee personally saying these words, right in his presence.Davis nodded toward Lea with a satisfied smile. As expected, she knew how he rolled."I agree." Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn't seem to take offense as he smiled, "After these Vacuous Beasts died, the heaven and earth energy is teeming with a bit of immortal energy, so it could be said that we're in a golden period temporarily. To pursue immortality, I imagine that many talents would take advantage of this time and ascend sooner or later. It's obvious that the one who brought the Alstreim Family to these heights wouldn't remain stagnant, although as its Ancestor, I'll try my best to uphold his words and ensure that it is kept by our descendants for as long as possible."The ones who were already under the Emperor of Death's jurisdiction couldn't help but smile assuredly while the others started having second thoughts.As a youth who had a bright future, the Emperor of Death possessed no obligation to stay behind any longer. He could leave to pursue his cultivation path without encountering a single word of rejection. Perhaps he was indeed leaving soon, and that was why he didn't want to bother with conquering the entire continent.Nonetheless, they no longer bothered about why and began thinking about their powers, whether it was worth becoming subordinate to a power that would no longer have its revered leader.Their discussion continued, becoming heated as it went into details, but Davis seemed disinterested. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a group of powerhouses appear before him, maintaining a low altitude as they made it clear that they were the inferior group, even bowing their heads as they bent their bodies ninety degrees before becoming at ease at his command.Davis raised his brows at a black-robed man who stepped forward. His head possessed two dragon horns above his forehead, his undulations throbbing at Peak-Level Ninth Stage, but his prowess seemed a bit more powerful. He had dragon blood within him, but as for what kind of dragon, Davis didn't know, nor had he seen this man before anywhere, causing him to become intrigued.
