Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 160

Chapter 160
"Ahh, that was like an appetizer . I should've known that souls of this level wouldn't satisfy me . " The Death Note sounded quite dissatisfied .
"Hmph, next time you should wait until I gather enough souls . If it weren't for your power, I would have chosen to stay and inherit that Immortal Inheritance!" Davis said with dissatisfaction written all over his face .
"Hahaha, you think you can inherit those Immortal Inheritances? It depends on whether that specific Immortal has taken a liking to you or not! They are as fickle as me but I keep my words . "
Hearing its words, he asked, "By any chance, do you hate immortals?"
"It is not that I hate them, many Immortals possessed me before, so I know how their personality is . . . Do you think they care about people after living a long life of cultivation? They just become detached and only care for their own self-interests . "
"What if the Immortal is dead and has a respectable reputation?" He questioned again .
"The ones who possessed me before weren't like that, so I wouldn't know . . . "
Davis turned smug, "See, stop being biased . . . I would've gone to inherit the inheritance if it weren't for the deal I made with you . . . "
"Whatever, it's not my job to prove you wrong but remember, the chances of gaining an Immortal Inheritance is always unknown . You can steadily increase your strength with me . . . That's all I wanted to say . . . "
Davis made a confused expression as he thought to himself, 'Did merging with my soul grant it emotions or something? Why does it look like it faintly cares for me?'
"Uhh, I have a question for you . . . "
"If it is something that profits your cultivation then you would have to wait till you reach the next level . "
"That's not it . . . I wanted to ask whether if you were with your previous possessors in your book like physical form all your life . "
"Yes, I was . . . " It quickly replied .
Davis's eyes widened as he felt that his guess should be correct, 'That means . . . It's gaining emotions? It should be a side effect of merging with my soul, right? It had never merged before with any of its previous possessors, so it should be the case . '
He couldn't tell if this Death Note was a lifeform or some kind of artifact that had gained sentience .
Sighing gently, Davis replied, "Alright, I'll do as you say and refine the souls for you . Make me strong, strong enough to protect myself and my family, strong enough to get Ellia back from the one who possessed her . "
"It all depends on how you kill your enemies while not trying to die halfway . Even though my previous possessors had me, they had still messed up somewhere, someplace and died a cruel death . "
Davis nodded his head solemnly, "Then I will depend on you as I have always been . . . "
He stopped taking its powers for granted and renewed his mind to cultivate hard so that he won't make the same mistakes as his predecessors . All so that he could protect himself and his family even without the powers of the death note .
"Also, since you consider yourself all-knowing, if I don't understand about something, then I will rely on you at that time as well . " He unceremoniously said .
Readying himself to visit the first layer, he took a deep breath and wore a black robe as he relaxed, "Dark Concealing Shroud Art!"
He chanted the technique's name and shrouded his presence, aura and energy with the dark energy of the Death Note .
Stepping forward, he entered the distorted space as the vortex around it twisted, dragging him inside .
