Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2210: Starchild

Chapter 2210: Starchild

"That's right, current Starnova Emperor." The white-robed young and handsome man descended after manifesting from thin light, "What's your name?"
"Ancestor. This young one is called Levi Starchild."
The Starnova Emperor also quickly became reverent amidst the immortal undulations, descending as he went on one knee. He only had to bow to his father, the previous Starnova Emperor, but now, one of his ancestors had somehow descended.
He didn't know if it was good for him or not, but he couldn't help but feel excited, trembling ever so lightly in his ancestor's presence.
"Good, good." Crimson Starchild's echoed with satisfaction as he saw Levi Starchild kneel.
However, he wasn't that surprised, considering that their imperialistic rules demanded even the Emperor bow to the family's Immortals, that is, if they ever saw one but the actual use was to kneel in front of the ancestral statues to receive their blessings.
It was common for Starchilds to show respect to their elders or be subjected to severe lashings for the lack of respect and insubordination. After all, this was a sect that had transitioned to an imperial family.
"Before entering, I saw the growth of our sect outside. I must say, it is spectacular."
Levi Starchild couldn't help but grin while still having his hands clasped, "Ancestor's praises are unworthy for me."
Crimson Starchild merely nodded, "Indeed. I also found that our disciples, even the disciples of our bloodline, are lacking?"
"Junior knows his mistakes." Levi Starchild hurriedly apologized as he lowered his head.
"Sigh, forget it. Everyone who has lived in the Fifty-Two Territories knows that the resources are dwindling, but what about you? You're staying here despite having the opportunity to ascend? I'll make sure to inform our ancestors and commend you over that."
"Such words… Many thanks, ancestor!"
Levi Starchild couldn't help but become even more excited, thinking that he might have some status in the immortal world, not to mention that it was practically confirmed that his Astral Light Sect was rather established in the immortal world if ancestor Crimson Starchild said something like recommending him to their ancestors!
He was practically on cloud nine. Moreover, he had his ancestor's strength to battle against the Calamity Light, making him feel relieved from the depths of his heart!
Crimson Starchild repeatedly nodded with a satisfied demeanor, but then, his smile suddenly left his face, replaced with a cold outlook.
"Everything is good, except who is that Emperor of Death? His name seems to resound far and wide, suppressing even that of our Astral Light Sect or even the Four Great Righteous Sects? What's going on? How can a wicked path powerhouse overwhelm us?" His tone was full of dissatisfaction.
Levi Starchild's brows raised. It seemed that his ancestor only heard little of the Emperor of Death, perhaps only the hearsay.
"Ancestor, you have misunderstood. The Emperor of Death is one of our righteous path powerhouses, although he claims to stand on neutral ground. Besides, he hails from the Alstreim Family."
"Alstreim Family?" Crimson Starchild's brows frowned before they relaxed, a tinge of mockery emerging on his lips, "Oh, from those lowlives at the western end with blonde hair and purple eyes? I remember. Their women were indeed, even finer..."
As though reminiscing, Crimson Starchild had an amused look in his eyes.
Levi Starchild's lips slightly twitched in trepidation.
"Ancestor, it's in our best interest to not offend the Emperor of Death and his Alstreim Family. From the intelligence we collected, his age is no more than thirty years old, yet he made it to the top and massacred the Vast Sky Emperor Palace and the Emperor Sword Sect because he had justified reasons to do so."
"What!?"
Crimson Starchild became shocked, his mouth appearing wide agape as he couldn't believe it! The Vast Sky Emperor Palace that stood alongside them and the Emperor Sword Sect that stood through the struggles of time had succumbed to this character? Just what kind of individual was he!?
Levi Starchild quickly explained what had happened, not changing the course of events but illustrating it as it is.
"You let such an individual grow!? Even if you have let him grow, why haven't you pulled him into our power!? You imbecile!"
*Paah!~*
After hearing almost everything, Crimson Starchild angrily bellowed and swung his hands, slapping Levi Starchild. The latter's head swiveled as his entire body froze, unable to understand what had just happened.
Was he just slapped?
He, the Starnova Emperor who ruled over billions of people in the Astral Light Sect Territory, was just slapped?
"…!"
His anger flared like a supernova. However, considering that his ancestor was also once a Starnova Emperor and ruled over billions, not to mention having become an immortal, he couldn't help but console himself, trying to calm down as much as possible.
Moreover, other than a red imprint and pain, he didn't feel much harm, causing him to understand that his ancestor was perhaps, truly enraged by his incapability.
In that case, he could only lower his head.
"Are you an idiot? Our bloodline must be kept alive. For that, we need to incorporate talented individuals. Forget about talent. From the way you describe him, he's practically a miracle, and yet, you have failed to bring him into our power by using whatever methods possible!?"
Crimson Starchild kept waving his hand, seemingly annoyed beyond doubt at Levi Starchild, which made the latter feel ashamed.
It felt like it was a long while before he got let off.
"Tch, forget it. Stand up. It's no use berating you as what has happened has happened."
"Junior understands his wrongs."
Levi Starchild finally stood up, feeling like he had to vent this frustration somewhere or would go crazy.
*Creak!~*
But at this moment, the huge door to the throne room was opened, and a green-robed lady with beautiful waist-length hair entered, her eyes roaming before she caught sight of the Starnova Emperor.
"My Emperor~"
"Farah, you…"
Levi Starchild's lips twitched, his expression becoming slightly unsightly as he probably still had that red imprint of a hand on his face. However, Farah Lanate appeared in front of him, her face full of worry before she turned to look at the man before, her eyes brewing with a bit of hostility, although she kept it concealed because of the mind-boggling and oppressive aura that could only be described as immortal aura surrounding him!
She didn't know how she found herself here but stood before her husband, pursing her lips. However, Levi Starchild quickly came in front of her and held her hand, gesturing towards Crimson Starchild.
"Farah. This is our Starchild Family's ancestor, Immortal Crimson Starchild."
"Junior greets immortal ancestor!"
Farah instantly bowed her head while feeling that it was no wonder her husband was passive, although she still didn't understand how an immortal could descend, her mind slightly reeling in panic.
Was this a part of the calamity, or have they descended to counter the calamity? Her heart couldn't help but beat with trepidation as she kept her head lowered.
"This is…?"
"Ancestor, she's one of my wives, Farah Lanate, hailing from the Glorious Pill Palace and the favored disciple of the Venerable Twilight Pill Emperor and Venerable Sunrise Pill Emperor."
"Oh? You at least have an eye for women, for she must be extremely talented in Alchemy to have both Venerates willing to take her as their disciple."
Crimson Starchild nodded satisfactorily, seemingly full of approval, while Levi Starchild couldn't help but feel some pride as his Farah Lanate was indeed talented in Alchemy, making him all sorts of pills to enrich his life and cultivation. He had even made some progress in his Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation, his prowess becoming two levels higher in them, although he hadn't revealed it to the world.
"In any case, try to obtain that Emperor of Death's favor." Crimson Starchild's eyes gleamed, "If he refuses, I'll deal with him."
"I understand."
Levi Starchild bowed his head before taking his leave along with Farah Lanate. Moreover, he knew that this throne probably no longer belonged to him.
"Wait."
However, just before he could exit, his ancestor's voice stopped him, causing him to turn around.
"Is there anything else, ancestor? No matter what it is, I, the current Starnova Emperor, will show my qualifications and fulfill what is asked of me."
Levi Starchild sincerely and pridefully spoke, but what his immortal ancestor said next caused his blood to run cold.
"Leave her."
"…!"
