Chapter 2083: By Using Her?
Davis stared at Myria before he turned to look at his lovely women.
"Tina and Dalila, go play somewhere else. Shirley, go get Clara and wait outside. I'll appear shortly."
"Yes."
The three of them promptly answered even though they looked curious as to what Myria said to make Davis this serious, making his voice sound solemn. They had only heard that Myria wanted to ask something before they apparently stared at each other, probably exchanging soul transmission.
Davis watched them leave before he turned to look at Myria.
Just now, he had felt as though karmic burden was crushing him, but no, it was just his delusion. What he felt was the weight of the matter because Myria's words resonated with him. After all, the matter of fate constantly changing around him was already perceived by him and verified by witnessing the derailed fate.
Almost all of them surrounding him had been affected by it, and it could be said that it made him worry from time to time, although he felt that it wasn't bad since the changes were mostly positive to his family, allowing them to get stronger.
"I do realize but tell me how exactly it concerns Clara? Why didn't you advise me to stop Tina or others from getting stronger?"
The foremost reason that he had them all sent away was also because he knew that Clara didn't have a physique in the derailed fate. Heck, she even died by committing suicide which severely pained him for just witnessing it. Now, he badly wanted to know the answers he sought but couldn't come to a conclusion.
"I told you." Myria opened her mouth, her expression nonchalant as ever, "I told you to consider yourself an Anarchic Divergent. You indiscriminately change the fates of people around you whether you like it or not, and I take it you know the reason why."
Davis nodded. Obviously, that was because of Fallen Heaven's presence within him. Then, he saw her continue.
"I also once told you that damned treasure is trying to kill you indiscriminately, and I meant it when I said it that I was also released from my shackles that disallowed me to be fully reborn, only to fight amongst ourselves, kill you and take it."
Davis's eyes slightly widened, "You can't mean...?"
"That's right," Myria nodded, "But it's different this time. Your little sister's physique, the Transcendent Truth Eyes, and its possessors are called warriors of the heavens, and I mean it literally. If she keeps getting stronger, the hold the heavens would have on her would equally get stronger. The power of her Mandate, in other words, the whispers of the heavens, will likely make her turn against you and everyone else one day."
"No, you're kidding..."
"If it sounds like I'm sowing discord, then leave that matter be..."
"Wait… I'll listen..."
"Then tell me what happened when you were said to be almost dead. After all, that's the closest you were to separate from 'it'."
Davis inwardly grumbled before he opened his mouth.
"This is what I heard from the others, so..."
He explained what happened before and after he was unconscious, Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross and Soul Empress Merlight's craziness after he spoke about what shouldn't be spoken, him using that damned treasure to kill, Clara trying to save him while confronting the Ice Phoenix Mistress before she was exiled from the Immortal Inheritance, only to end up calling Shirley and have her save him.
At that point, Davis felt his shoulders feel heavy again, and this time, he was sure karmic burden was slightly stacking upon him, but after coming to this point and feeling extremely worried about Clara, he didn't hide anything other than witnessing the derailed fate.
"I see." Myria's eyes flashed while her voice sounded intrigued, "I always wondered why Hadrian Cross made his move, but it seems that you provoked fate lines by saying what you shouldn't have said to others. Because of this, I received severe scoldings from Ellia, but that doesn't matter now that I see what happened clearly a bit."
Davis didn't stop her, continuing to listen.
"That stingy Ice Phoenix Immortal has already seen something strange with Clara's state and exiled her. I don't think those prideful phoenixes were rather good with reading fate lines, so I'll just assume the Ice Phoenix has a good character, and because of it, you were saved."
"What do you mean…?" He inclined his head as though he was bewildered.
"Don't you understand?"
Myria raised her brows, wondering if he couldn't see the truth or refused to acknowledge the truth. She took a breath a moment later and spoke.
"If your little sister slept with you and activated the Revival From The Ashes Technique using the Nirvanic Ice Divinity Codex, you would have revived successfully, no doubt, but the heavens would have completely locked on to you. What do you think is going to happen then?"
*Badump!~*
Davis's heart heavily pounded, but Myria continued.
"Everyone craves a woman with the Transcendent Truth Eyes because their primal yin allows them to have easier heavenly tribulations. Even Divergents are the same, wishing to plunder and have a safer cultivation journey even though they would be locked on too. However, they are only Divergents and are not someone like you, who possesses a special something that goes against the very essence of you know what. You will most likely be obliterated in an instant!"
Davis heavily shuddered without control. He had to clench his fists and stiffen his body to control himself, not from fear of being killed but from the significance of what he heard just now. It was preposterous, simultaneously making him enraged and depressed!
"Since you now know the truth, would you say that Clara wished to save you or the heavens wished to obliterate by using her? Which is it?"
"Shut up…!"
Davis raised his hand and pointed at her face as his face contorted. However, he went stiff and lowered his hand, opening his mouth as his voice strongly echoed.
"Clara wished to save me. That's all!"
Myria couldn't help but smile, "It's not like I don't understand your emotions, so I'll not say anything about this transgression."
"Personally, I also think Clara wished to save you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought Shirley to save you, but her previous actions could also be inferred as heaven interfering with her thoughts. After all, the decision she made to sleep with her own brother even if it is for saving you is in itself bizarre, but when you consider that the female possessors of Transcendent Truth Eyes deeply protect their sanctity, even rarely giving their bodies to the person they somehow come to love makes your situation outright abnormal."
"I believe that the Ice Phoenix sensed this matter was somewhat not right and exiled your little sister even though she's apparently the most qualified for the Immortal Inheritance."
"That… we can't be too sure, yet..."
Davis pursed his lips, his expression looking somber, but Myria didn't stop.
"However, what undoubtedly lies ahead for your little sister is a tragic fate where she will be forced to end her kin's lives because they twist the workings of fate, which ends up provoking the heavens. You can't tell her this, but you better tell her to stop cultivating. If she doesn't listen, seal her cultivation even if you have to make her hate you. If it's too late, then you could only kill her. At that time, don't blame me for not telling you this just because it's insensitive."
"…"
"There's a reason why the possessors of the Transcendent Truth Eyes are called cold-hearted rulers. They literally follow heaven's rules more than any other person in the whole world. Only Divergents can sway their hearts as they do not follow the will of the heavens. However, those Divergents are not safe from the warriors of the heavens either. They will actively try to kill the Divergents, and your little sister should be no different if she keeps getting stronger."
"…"
The more Davis heard Myria's voice that resounded in his ears like thunder, the more his heart fell.
Why? Just why had his little sister have to face a deranged fate like killing her own kin? Was the derailed fate not cruel enough for her?
Back then, when he had a conversation with the Mandate Emperor about the Transcendent Truth Eyes Physique, Davis had wondered if it was a blessing or a curse for him for Clara to have been seen as a favorite by the heavens. Now, it was way more than clear that it was a curse for both of them.
Even now, he hadn't minded the heavens were against him since he possessed something that went against it, making it fair but now, it was trying to take hold of his little sister? The first person he wanted to protect so much ever since coming to this world!?
Davis's fist trembled as intense hatred surged against the heavens within him, his expression becoming heavily muddled.
