Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 70

Chapter 70
In the east end of the Gote Island .
There were a huge amount of people, amounting to more than a million .
There were also a large number of queues, in which the young cultivators lined up to get their tokens .
"Seriously, I have never seen a queue this big before!" A young man who looked quite naive, uttered in an annoyed tone .
"Me neither . " A young girl who was behind the young man replied .
"Heh, you don't know but it would have been more of a humongous queue if everyone came to get their tokens at the same time . " Suddenly a random young cultivator piped in, trying to show off his knowledge to the young woman .
"Brother, you mean?" Another young man, who looked scrawny joined in on the conversation .
"Yes, there are already more than five million contestants who have already got their own tokens . " That random young cultivator replied .
"Yeah, right . The other empires have already arrived here earlier after all . " That scrawny young man nodded his head in understanding .
Davis and Ellia, who were passing over the people who lined up in the queues, heard a lot of conversations like this, which made it easier for them to understand what was going on .
"Ellia, did you hear that?"
Ellia replied as she digested the information she heard, "Hmm! Looks like there are twelve Islands in which the preliminaries will take place . Not only that, but the Island in which we will be assigned to will be decided by the tokens we draw it seems . . . "
"So there's a chance that we will be separated, huh?" Realization dawned on her face as she went sad .
"Seems like it . " Davis carelessly muttered and looked at sad her face .
Seeing her sad expression, he comforted her, "Haha, don't be disheartened, it's not like we're going to separate forever . "
He then added, "Besides, we don't know if we are even going to be separated absolutely, so don't lose heart . "
"Hmm! I hope that we are always together!" Ellia smiled and replied innocently without any ulterior meaning .
Davis who heard that, froze .
Her smile was bright and pure, combined with her words, she looked like an angel to Davis .
He then hurriedly looked away as if he hadn't minded what she had said, but deep in his heart, it pretty much had a high impact on him .
They both then lined up to queue for getting a token for the two of them, as they conversed . The two of them received weird looks from the start as they seemed like two kids who were going on an excursion .
Davis didn't pay any heed to their weird expressions, but Ellia was visibly discomforted by their unwanted attention .
"Don't pay any heed to others Ellia, as a child who came to attend the Grand Sea Continent Meet, you should be proud of yourself . "
Ellia nodded her head as she put up a proud front .
Davis laughed at her proud expression which made her instantly embarrassed .
After getting their two tokens, it was already night . They were almost the last participants to get their tokens .
"Hmm? Why isn't there a writing on the token? How am I supposed to know which Island to go to?" Davis, who saw the token couldn't help but question .
"Maybe the letters would appear magically?" Ellia replied in a joking tone .
Suddenly, a solemn voice sounded out to the whole Island from nowhere . The voice even sounded out a few more kilometres .
"As I have already said before, the letters on the token will reveal itself on the day of the preliminaries . We have decided to host the preliminaries tomorrow, so those who did not manage to get a token by today will be automatically disqualified!"
Hearing that, many youths who were in the ships or somewhere around the Island, hurriedly went to the east of the Island to get their tokens .
'A powerful voice amplification formation? No doesn't look like that . It probably is an additional feature of another formation . ' Davis thought as he couldn't figure out where the voice came from .
Time passed by as morning finally came . No one bothered Davis and Ellia, as they all thought that these kids came from some powerful family to broaden their horizons .
Again that solemn voice echoed in fervour .
"The time period for collecting your tokens is over, anyone who failed to procure one will be disqualified automatically!"
Hearing that, the many youths who ran to get their tokens yesterday night like their lives depended on it, heaved a sigh of relief .
"Now, the letters in the token will reveal themselves in any moment now . "
Suddenly, Davis could sense an energy wave coming from a formation somewhere . He managed to pinpoint it as the formation's energy came from the centre of the Island .
Various transparent lights shot above from the middle of the Island which was invisible to almost 99% of the youths who came to participate in the preliminaries .
Davis also saw those transparent lights as it came close to him at an extreme speed and collided with his token .
This kind of situation happened to all the young cultivators who held a token in their hands . No matter if they were on a ship or somewhere far away from the Island, those transparent lights successfully hit the tokens in their hands .
Davis saw the transparent light transform into some words in the token .
[ Fifth Island ]
But for some reason, the token in his hands which was originally white in colour suddenly converted to a red colour .
"Ellia, which Island did you get?"Davis then asked Ellia .
"Fifth Island!"
Davis heaved a sigh of relief and said, "We are on the same Island, thankfully . "
"Really!?"Ellia clenched her fists in excitement as she almost jumped on him to hug, but chose not to as it would be considered rude .
"Yes, hehe . " Davis laughed in a relieved tone . Actually, he was the one who was most afraid of separating from Ellia as there were many dangers here in the preliminaries .
After all, It wasn't too difficult for a person to kill another person in this place .
